Total purchase price range of $44.7M–$77.9M for 100% if put/call is exercised Under SPT’s Base Case projections for Left Bank, SPT expects to pay $29.0M for 51% ($23.5M in FYE13 plus an earn-out of $5.5M in FYE15) plus expected put/call payment for the remaining 49% of $21.7M–$27.9M in FYE18.

SPT International Production Growth Strategy Continue to drive strong growth through significant content creation and footprint expansion Fuel content generation through organic development, acquisitions, strategic partnerships and synergies with Sony-owned content to create global hit formats that are exportable around the world Build a significant presence in all strategically important content creation territories and ensure strength in all genres in each territory – Establishing a strong UK presence in all genres is a top strategic priority to become a top global TV producer – UK is a strategically important market for global television production, being the largest exporter of TV formats in the world and the second largest (after the US) exporter of finished TV programming Continue to fortify global footprint through expansion into new high-growth potential and highly strategic territories Investment in Left Bank aligns with SPT’s current strategic approach to rapidly build scale in the UK by aggregating quality independent producers and creative talent and would be highly strategic to SPT’s future expansion and profitability 4 DRAFT

Overview of Left Bank Pictures Left Bank is a leading UK scripted series and feature film producer with four drama series currently on air Left Bank has grown significantly over the past five years and has built a valuable IP library driven by shows with multiple season orders, genre versatility and international sales – Has third season commissions for its most significant shows, Strike Back, Wallander and Mad Dogs – Produces a wide range of drama and comedy series for UK, US and European broadcasters including BBC, ITV 1, Channel 4, Sky 1 HD, HBO Cinemax, Degeto Film Gmbh and RTE – Has produced 3 feature films – Has successful co-productions outside the UK with local producers and broadcasters, a growing area for SPT – [Seasoned development of original fiction as well as adaptations - explain or delete] Left Bank is led by CEO Andy Harries, one of the UK’s most successful and respected television and film producers – Andy and Managing Director Marigo Kehoe started Left Bank in 2007 with a minority investment from BBC Worldwide – Andy was formerly [Head] Controller of Drama, Comedy and Film for Granada (formerly ITV studios); Marigo was formerly Head of Production for Granada and for Tiger Aspect – Andy’s film credits include producer of BAFTA winning and Oscar nominated feature film The Queen Left Bank’s future growth will be driven by its strong development slate of new shows with local and international appeal, and from its partnership with SPT SPT to purchase 51% of Left Bank from existing shareholders on a pro-rata basis – Existing shareholders are Andy Harries (51%), Marigo Kehoe (15%), BBC Worldwide (25%) and Employees (9%) 5 DRAFT

Strategic Benefit to SPE Acquisition of Left Bank will provide SPT with strong presence and credibility in the highly-strategic UK scripted market – Left Bank’s strong reputation for successful series development and production allows it to attract top talent and advertisers – Left Bank’s shows have been commissioned by all of the major UK broadcasters – Left Bank’s success in the UK market has generated strong international broadcaster interest and significant international distribution value SPT will become a stronger player in the two largest English language markets – With Strike Back, Left Bank is now one of the few companies that has produced scripted programming airing simultaneously in the UK and US – Provides SPT with a strong platform to sell scripted shows produced in the UK to the US and vice versa Acquisition can generate significant strategic synergies and drive growth for both SPT and Left Bank – [SPT can leverage Left Bank to drive growth of SPT scripted business worldwide in its portfolio companies, further exploit its large scripted format catalogue and increase international scripted co-productions] – [SPT can accelerate Left Bank’s growth through its global production network, strong US production presence and world-class distribution team] – Opportunity to co-develop and co-produce across major markets, leveraging SPT’s other opcos and Left Bank’s co- production experience Sony will distribute all future shows and formats from Left Bank that do not fall within BBCW’s existing distribution contract and charge Left Bank a commission —Left Bank’s shows have strong international appeal and over 20 programs have been sold to 45 different countries —SPT’s strong global distribution team and strong US presence will further drive Left Bank’s potential IP value 7 DRAFT

Left Bank has grown significantly since it was founded and revenue is expected to grow at a 8% CAGR from FY12–FY18 KEY LEFT BANK GROWTH DRIVERS Reduction in FYE11 earnings was the result of no deliveries of Strike Back 2 and Wallander 3 (under UK accounting methods this Revenue and EBITDA reduction did not exist) FYE12 growth driven by Strike Back 2 commission on HBO Cinemax in the US, returning shows such as Wallander, DCI Banks and Mad Dogs and new comedy Cardinal Burns 69% of FYE13 revenue is assumed to result from content in paid development with broadcasters; growth driven by re-commissions of all key shows and new comedy Naked House $90M currently in development pipeline consisting of re-commissions of returning series (Strike Back, DCI Banks, Wallander, Mad Dogs) and new series in development Decline in FYE17 is due to SPT’s conservative assumption that Strike Back goes off the air after 6 seasons Left Bank Financial History and Forecast 8 DRAFT 8% CAGR (FYE12–FYE18) 5% CAGR (FYE12–FY1E8) $MM

EBIT Impact (Excluding Terminal Value) Acquiring a controlling interest will allow SPE to consolidate Left Bank Pictures and is expected to increase SPE’s EBIT by $4M– $5M per year under SPT’s Base Case once initial purchase price amortization levels taper off in FYE16 Cash Impact (Excluding Terminal Value) Financial Impact to SPE 11 DRAFT

Risks and Mitigations 12 RiskMitigation Significant revenue and gross profit come from a single show, Strike Back Left Bank has received a strong indication from Sky that it plans to air Strike Back for the long term There are several long running shows in the UK comparable to Strike Back, such Spooks and Dream Team which ran for 10 seasons SPT has conservatively projected that Strike Back continues through season 6 (FYE16) Left Bank will no longer qualify as an independent producer in the UK post-acquisition. Broadcasters in the UK have quotas for commissioning shows from independent producers. DCI Banks is the only Left Bank show currently on-air that qualifies for independent status. Sony and Left Bank have corresponded with the broadcaster who has communicated that Sony's ownership will not put future commissions of this program at risk. Left Bank is a very established producer in the market and Sony and Left Bank do not believe that the loss of its independent status will affect future show commissions Key creative personnel are critical to the success of Left Bank The two most critical creative employees are the founders Andy Harries and Marigo Kehoe. They will enter new 5-year employment agreements and we may purchase their shares at a material discount should they breach their employment. The value of the earn-outs and the put will incentivize them during their 5 year employment term. The value of their put can be maximized if they agree to extend their employment upon exercise of the put SPE also intends to groom successors to operate the business should key employees choose to depart. Existing series have value and momentum independent of their employment, as does the Left Bank brand name and credibility in the marketplace DRAFT

Timing and Next Steps Sony Deliberations – July 27, 2012: Investment Committee – July 31, 2012: Group Executive Committee Targeted Date August 6-10, 2102: Sign Definitive Agreements and Close – Shareholders Agreement – Share Purchase Agreement – Articles of Association – Distribution Agreement with SPT – Employee Service Agreements End of Exclusivity Period: July 31, 2012 – SPT believes negotiations will continue successfully beyond the exclusivity period 13 DRAFT
