GROUP EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REVIEW: Divestiture of SPE’s Shareholdings in HBO Central Europe and HBO Latin America October 7, 2009

-- Confidential --p. 2 Executive Summary Proposed Matters to be Deliberated for CEO Approval SPE is recommending a sale of our 33.3% stake in HBO Central Europe (CE) –SPE believes Time Warner’s desire to consolidate HBO CE makes this the right time to monetize –Time Warner is in final negotiations to acquire Disney’s 33.3% stake in HBO CE; SPE’s options are to exit, maintain a minority position with less board leverage, or exercise its preemptive right to buy-up and maintain equal ownership with Time Warner –Closing within FYE10 may require executed agreements in October due to regulatory approvals SPE is also requesting an approval for the sale of all or a portion of its 29.4% stake in HBO Latin America be delegated to the CFO (Mr. Oneda) subject to the following conditions: –The transaction will be made at a 100% market valuation of not less than $680MM and –SPE will sell its entire stake or, if SPE decides to hold a 10% interest, retain a board seat Background SPE is revisiting its global channels portfolio and seeking to rebalance the mix towards channels that are majority controlled and consolidated Studio investments in HBO CE and HBO Latin America were driven by a shared need for a pay outlet in each market that has now been met; operating benefits to SPE’s broader portfolio are expected to be achievable contractually

-- Confidential --p. 3 Overview of HBO Investments Overview Ownership SPE Relationship Programs, operates, and distributes HBO and Cinemax channels across Central Europe Programs, operates, and distributes HBO and Cinemax channels across Latin and South America 33.3% SPE 33.3% Time Warner 33.3% Disney 29.4% SPE 58.8% Time Warner 11.8% Ole Communications (note: Disney sold 29.4% stake to TW in 12/08) Distributes and provides services for SPE channels in region Licenses $8-$9MM of content from SPE annually Distributes and provides services for SPE channels in region Licenses $40-$50MM of content from SPE annually SPE provides ad sales for HBO & Cinemax channels in Brazil

-- Confidential --p. 4 Overview of Time Warner / HBO HBO Asia/ South Asia HBO Central Europe HBO Latin America TW seeking to buy Disney and SPE stake and fully consolidate TW purchased Disney stake in 2008 TW seeking to purchase SPE stake and fully consolidate TW purchased SPE stake in 2008 TW purchased Universal share in 2008 Overview of Time Warner One of the world’s largest media and entertainment conglomerates Owns and operates significant channel, film, TV, publishing, and internet assets Wholly owns HBO in the U.S. with over 40MM paying subscribers Has equity interests in multiple HBO joint ventures around the world Consolidation Activity / Rationale As a major channel operator with common interest in HBO brands across the globe, Time Warner is a likely eventual buyer Given that studios primarily invested in HBO channels to create an output for pay content in the regions, SPE, Disney and other content owners are ultimately likely sellers of their minority interests in HBO channels Time Warner has been and continues to seek opportunities to increase its ownership in HBO global channels with the goal of full consolidation

-- Confidential --p. 5 HBO CE: Valuation Considerations (1)DCF valuation based on forecast; assumes 8X terminal multiple applied to 2013 EBITDA of $26.2MM and 10% discount rate. Values in $MM SPE believes $234MM is an attractive valuation for 100% of HBO Central Europe and seeks to complete a sale of our 33.3% stake at this valuation –Multiples in Disney’s sale of its minority stake in HBO Latin America and SPE’s sale of our minority stake in HBO Asia imply a valuation of $200MM for HBO CE –DCF before minority/illiquidity discount implies a 100% value of roughly $200MM; with a minority/illiquidity discount, fair value could be as low as $120-$140MM

-- Confidential --p. 6 HBO CE: Gain, Cash, and Ongoing EBIT Impact Summary Impact Gain & Cash Consideration EBIT Impact (1) Excludes potential benefit of special dividend; HBO CE will dividend excess cash of ~$10-20MM ($3-7MM to SPE) prior to close (2) FYE09 EBIT includes $26.6MM in income from the sale of Spektrum (3) FYE10 EBIT impact assumes a December 31, 2009 close (4) Excludes profits from HBO licensing of SPE content With a 100% valuation of $234MM for HBO CE, a transaction would: –Generate proceeds of $78MM –Create a gain of $39MM –Require SPE to forgo $5-$6MM EBIT annually (SPE would no longer recognize 33.3% of HBO CE net income as EBIT)

-- Confidential --p. 7 HBO CE Sale: Risks and Mitigations Risks Mitigations Ownership in HBO CE has provided a key platform for growing SPE’s owned and operated channels Contracts must be structured to avoid risks to ongoing relationships after the sale of our stake –HBO CE will continue to distribute SPE channels –SPE will continue to seek licensing revenues from HBO CE (currently ~$8-$9MM annually) Deal may not close in FYE10 due to time required for regulatory approvals –TW counsel believes approvals may require up to 6 months (SPE independently verifying timing) –Timing is not in SPE’s control Distribution and licensing relationships will be protected through long-term contracts –Deal extends our distribution services agreement to 3/31/12 (currently expires 12/31/09) and provides SPE options to extend by up to 8 years –Deal extends our existing license agreement to 12/31/13 (currently expires 12/31/11) and provides SPE a 4 year option to extend October close targeted to allow 5+ months within FYE10 for regulatory approvals

-- Confidential --p. 8 HBO Latin America: Valuation Considerations Values in $MM (1)Trailing EBITDA multiples on recent and pending 100% sales (Travel Channel, Weather Channel, C More, Claxson) range from 11.3x – 13.9x (2)DCF valuation assumes 10% disc rate; 8X terminal multiple applied to 2014 EBITDA (Mgmt Case: $182.5MM; Adjusted Mgmt Case $143.5MM) SPE believes $680MM is an appropriate minimum valuation for 100% of HBO Latin America –Disney’s 2008 sale of 29.4% was at a $680MM valuation, negotiated in advance of public market declines –Multiples in Disney’s sale of its minority stake in HBO Latin America and SPE’s sale of our minority stake in HBO Asia provide a basis for SPE to seek a valuation of up to $720MM –DCF before minority/illiquidity discount implies a 100% value of $1.1BN (12x EBITDA, in-line with recent 100% sale comps (1) ); with a minority/illiquidity discount, value ranges from $680MM to $795MM

-- Confidential --p. 9 HBO Latin America: Gain, Cash, and Ongoing EBIT Impact EBIT Impact (Assuming Full Sale) EBIT Impact (Assuming Full Sale) Summary Impact Gain & Cash Consideration (Assuming Full Sale) Gain & Cash Consideration (Assuming Full Sale) Assuming a 100% valuation of $680MM and a sale of our 29.4% stake (as illustrated on this page), transaction would: –Generate proceeds of $200MM –Create a gain of $162MM –Require SPE to forgo $15-$16MM EBIT annually (SPE would no longer recognize 29.4% of HBO Latin America net income as EBIT) If SPE were to retain a 10% stake, proceeds would be $132MM, gain would be $107MM, and we would forgo roughly $10MM of EBIT annually (1)Excludes profits from HBO licensing of SPE content (2)Includes $45MM in one time proceeds for SPE not to exercise its right to buy-up as part of the Disney/TW transaction

-- Confidential --p. 10 HBO Latin America Sale: Risks and Mitigations Risks Mitigations HBO distributes SPE channels in region HBO licenses $40-$50MM of content from SPE annually SPE provides ad sales for HBO channels in Brazil Anticipated (subject to further negotiations) SPE will have a long-term contractual relationship for HBO to distribute our channels Extending license agreement for 6 years (through 4/2014) plus 4 years at our option Deal may be subject to potential regulatory approvals –SPE legal independently reviewing what filings may be required, timing of filings (pre-close vs. post-close) and timing of approvals –Timing is not in SPE’s control Plan to have deal done as quickly as possible to increase likelihood of closing in FYE10

-- Confidential --p. 11 Next Steps As negotiation of final terms may require two months, SPE requests final review and approval of the transaction be delegated to the CFO Secure approval to delegate decision to CFO for a transaction based on: –100% market valuation of not less than $680MM –SPE selling its entire share or, if SPE decides to hold a 10% interest, retaining a board seat SPE legal to review regulatory approval requirements Finalize negotiation of key terms in late November and present to Investment Committee Seek final approvals in December Sign and close by end of December Secure approvals Sign definitive agreements by mid October Regulatory review and approval process of up to 6 months (SPE legal is independently verifying) Close in February or March 2010, depending on regulatory approvals
