1 DRAFT HBO Divestiture Opportunity September 23, 2009

2 -- Confidential --p. 2 Executive Summary SPE is revisiting its global channels portfolio and seeking to rebalance the mix towards channels that are majority controlled and consolidated There are two primary channel holdings that SPE anticipates recommending we sell to Time Warner, HBO Central Europe (CE) and HBO Latin America, with discussions active on both Studio investments in HBO CE and HBO Latin America was 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 rather than through minority equity stakes Sale of SPE’s stake in HBO CE and HBO Latin America is expected to occur at fair valuations, and at prices validated by Disney’s exit of each asset and market comps Proceeds from the sale of these channels would facilitate further investment in our majority owned and operated channel portfolio

3 -- Confidential --p. 3 Executive Summary - continued At this time, SPE is formally submitting for consideration the sale of our 33.3% stake in HBO CE SPE believes Time Warner’s desire to consolidate HBO CE makes this the right time to monetize our investment, receive cash of $78MM, and recognize a gain of approximately $39MM –Presents an opportunity to exit a minority position at a full valuation –Time Warner is believed to have a “handshake” deal to buy Disney’s 33.3% stake in HBO CE; SPE’s options are to exit, maintain a minority position with less board leverage, or exercise our preemptive right to buy- up and maintain equal ownership with Time Warner Transaction would be structured to protect SPE’s ongoing operating relationship with HBO in Central Europe SPE is requesting approval to execute and close the sale of its HBO CE stake –Closing within FY10 may require executed agreements in October due to potential for a regulatory review and approval process of up to 6 months (SPE legal verifying timing) SPE is also requesting that approval for the sale of all or a portion of its 29.4% stake in HBO Latin America be delegated to Oneda-san, subject to our securing a minimum valuation of $680MM –SPE is evaluating option to retain a roughly 10% stake in HBO Latin America –Transaction would generate a gain of $107-$162MM and cash of $132-200MM
