1 INVESTMENT COMMITTEE REVIEW: Shine Group Divestiture Opportunity July 8, 2010 Draft - June 25, 2010

2 -- Confidential --p. 2 Proposed Matters to be Deliberated for Approval SPE is seeking approval to monetize its 20.6% stake in Shine Group, a global independent TV production and distribution company based in the UK –Initial investment of $7.2MM in FY06 for a 13% stake in Shine which included distribution rights for Shine’s wholly- owned formats –SPE has invested $45.4MM to-date and is budgeting $4MM in EBIT earnings from Shine in FY11 The proposed transaction is a result of an increasing overlap in SPE and Shine’s television production businesses and the lack of opportunity for SPE to take a more strategic controlling stake in Shine –SPE and Shine have become direct competitors over the last 5 years as Shine has expanded outside of the UK and into markets in which SPE has a local television production presence –Although the UK remains a high-priority market for SPE’s TV production business, we lack the opportunity to take a more strategic position beyond the current minority stake to fully leverage the investment for future growth –Due to Shine’s plans for ongoing acquisitions, SPE and Shine may continue to conflict over expansion plans, as SPE will either need to block Shine’s potential investments, provide consent to the acquisitions but exercise right to avoid dilution below 20% shareholding, or provide potentially significant expansion funding SPE has negotiated a total cash purchase price of $60MM at close plus 3% warrants for its 20.6% stake –SPE’s stake to be purchased by existing shareholders Elisabeth Murdoch and BSkyB –$60MM cash at close based on a ~$450MM enterprise valuation for Shine (~$300MM equity value), an implied multiple of ~10.4x CY09 EBITDA and ~1x CY09 Revenue –3% warrants provides potential additional upside, with strike price based on current valuation –Transaction will not require any regulatory approvals or filings to close SPE has reached agreement with Shine on material terms and is now seeking approval for the proposed transaction, with target closing by end of July

3 -- Confidential --p. 3 Background on Shine Group and Proposed Transaction Background on Shine Group Background on Transaction / Rationale Founded in 2001 by Elisabeth Murdoch, Shine Group is a global TV production and distribution company based in the UK Currently produces several hit formats for the UK and international markets including Master Chef and The Biggest Loser –SPE currently produces Master Chef in Germany under a licensing agreement with Shine Over the last five years, Shine has aggressively expanded its operations in the UK and internationally through acquisitions and local start-ups and plans to further expand over the next three years –UK: Kudos, Princess, Firefly acquisitions (2006-2007); US: Reveille acquisition (2008); Nordic region: Metronome acquisition (2009); Australia: established JV with Endemol (2010) Key shareholders: Elisabeth Murdoch (53.4%), SPE (20.6%), BSkyB (12.8%) and management (13.2%) SPE initially invested in Shine to establish a production presence in the highly-strategic UK market Beginning with its acquisition of Reveille in 2008, Shine has expanded its operations beyond the UK and with SPE’s acquisition of 2waytraffic, we are now competing in many of the same markets Due to Shine’s plans for ongoing acquisitions, SPE and Shine may continue to conflict over expansion plans, as SPE will either need to block Shine’s potential investments, provide consent to the acquisitions but exercise right to avoid dilution below 20% shareholding, or provide potentially significant expansion funding Elisabeth Murdoch and BSkyB have provided an attractive offer to buy out SPE’s stake at our request SPE is evaluating potential strategic investment opportunities in the UK to pursue our original strategy of establishing a production presence in that market

4 -- Confidential --p. 4 Summary of Deal Structure and Material Terms SPE Sells its 20.6% Equity Interest in Shine $60MM cash payment at close (100% equity valuation of ~$300MM and enterprise valuation of ~$450MM) Existing Shine shareholders to purchase SPE’s shares –Elisabeth Murdoch to acquire an additional 8% interest in Shine from SPE and BSkyB will acquire 12% As part of the transaction, SPE will give up its Board seat and consent rights SPE Receives Warrants for 3% of the Shares of Shine Strike price based on the current $60MM valuation for SPE’s stake in Shine, warrant shares adjusted for previously consented-to option schemes Warrants are exercisable at any time after 5 years, or upon an Exit Event (Sale of the Company, liquidation, IPO, sale of all or substantially all of the shares in Shine) Warrants are transferable to a third party at any time after December 2011, subject to a Right of First Refusal by Shine –Transferee can exercise upon an Exit Event or after 5 years unless the transferee is a competitor of Shine or would jeopardize its status as an Independent Producer –If an Exit Event has not occurred by the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the warrants, then the strike price paid by the Transferee will be discounted by 30% Net proceeds (after subscription price) to SPE from exercise of the warrants capped at $30MM (cap does not apply to potential transferee) Warrants to contain basic minority protections against dilution –[SPE to retain a tag along right on a sale of all or substantially all of the shares of Shine – OPEN POINT WITH SHINE] –[Strike price to be adjusted for any share issuances at a price below fair market value – OPEN POINT WITH SHINE]

5 -- Confidential --p. 5 SPE expects to receive $60MM in cash proceeds in FY11 –Total NPV of consideration of $61MM including estimated $1MM NPV for the 3% warrants –Gain to be adjusted depending on the fair market value of Shine’s stock when the warrants are exercised SPE expects to recognize a gain of $8MM associated with the sale of the equity interest in FY11 Currently, SPE recognizes 20.6% of Shine’s Net Income as EBIT –After the sale, SPE will no longer recognize Shine’s Net Income as EBIT (FY11 Budget EBIT of $4MM) –Should we exercise the warrants and hold shares in Shine, SPE’s share of dividends, if any, will be treated as income Estimated Gain and EBIT Impact from Sale
