CONFIDENTIAL SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT MID RANGE PLAN – OCTOBER 4, 2012

Agenda Executive Summary SPE Divisional Details – Television – Motion Pictures – Digital Productions – Home Entertainment Financial Summary Closing Q&A 2

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3

SPE continues to deliver strong company performance; however, currency fluctuations and the carry-forward impact of under-performing films prevent SPE from maintaining the projections in its prior MRP Television offers multiple opportunities for growth – The networks business will strategically manage its current assets and identify select investment opportunities to capitalize on market growth – The production and distribution business is increasing the number of returning domestic series and building its international team to develop a new hit format The film industry is navigating a new economic model – Consumer tastes are shifting; action and family genres remain strong, but PG domestic comedies are giving way to R-rated comedies – Production and talent costs remain high across the industry – Domestic cinema admissions are declining but are offset by higher ticket prices – Admissions and ticket prices are growing in emerging markets, but such territories offer relatively meager ancillary revenues – There is a continuing shift to lower margin home entertainment models, however, the decline in sell-through appears to be leveling off – New models for digital distribution continue to gain traction and have superior margins to their physical counterparts Executive Summary 4

Executive Summary (continued) SPE is also faced with internal challenges – Carry-over impact in the MRP period of underperforming films from FYE12 and FYE13 – Reduced contribution of international TV production to the MRP due to management relaunch and fewer show commissions than previously anticipated However, with its well-balanced portfolio of television and film businesses, SPE expects to achieve $725M of EBIT and $456M of Net Cash Flow (1) by FYE16 (1) Net Cash Flow excludes strategic investment spend for the MSM India and GSN Buy-Up 5

SPE Key Strategic Initiatives Manage the shift in consumption of home entertainment by driving incremental transactions and higher margin models – New windows – New distribution partners – New business models Focus on franchises to drive profitability of motion pictures Invest capital to expand the high margin television networks business Become the premier independent producer of television content – Create compelling U.S. content with global appeal to maximize hit potential – Develop local content in international markets that can be exploited across multiple territories – Exploit attractive economics of cable production Continue cost reduction efforts – Operating costs, e.g., production, talent, and marketing – Overhead costs Manage the business to maximize cash 6

One Sony: SPE is also supporting Sony’s strategic initiatives SEN / PS+ 4K and 3D Emerging Markets Creating exclusive offers and providing content to drive transactions and subscriptions Leveraging Crackle content and expertise Providing marketing and promotions inventory Evangelizing the benefits of 4K and 3D to the film and TV community Identifying 4K content to support sales of 4K hardware Managing the 3D Technology Center Co-promotions, e.g., The Smurfs in Latin America and The Amazing Spider-Man / Sony Mobile in India and China Content bundles, e.g., limited edition This Is It / Michael Jackson Sony Walkman in Latin America Shared Services Expanding the benefits of SPE’s shared service centers to include Sony Global Treasury and Sony Electronics Cloud Media Services Creating a new service business for Sony based on SPE-generated technology Incubating the new business on the SPE lot 7

By FYE16, two thirds of SPE EBIT will be generated by the TV business EBIT by Division Total TV = 57% Total TV = 67% 8
