1 Status Update May 2008 – Confidential – GSN & FUN

2 2 – Confidential – Status and Alternatives Prior to David Goldhill’s arrival, SPE was considering an exit of GSN –GSN’s core business was languishing –Governance issues associated with a 50/50 venture limited flexibility Our interest in GSN increased and governance concerns receded when: –David Goldhill arrived, began to reinvigorate GSN, and significantly improved earnings –GSN/FUN merger appeared to offer further expansion for the business on economically compelling terms, with limited risk, and no negative impact on governance Diligence on FUN implies a deal may be feasible, but is not clearly compelling –Legal risks of skill games can be managed but not eliminated –We do not yet have an indication that Tokyo is comfortable with skill games –Although not obstructing the deal, IGT would not be enthusiastic –Liberty’s $200MM asking price is at best “fully valued,” potentially overvalued by up to $50MM A GSN/FUN partnership (rather than merger) can be structured to protect our financial interests, but is unattractive as it will make management more cumbersome Given these facts, we have 3 alternatives –Acquire ½ of FUN at $200MM, assuming significant financial risk and some legal risk –Negotiate FUN’s price to $150-$175MM, assuming some legal risk –Revisit an exit of GSN
