HBO Divestiture Opportunity (DRAFT) September [8], 2009

-- Confidential --p. 2 Executive Summary SPE is recommending the sale of our 33.3% stake in HBO Central Europe (CE) Sale of a minority stake aligns with SPE’s increased focus on controlling stakes in our network investments We believe 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 “hand shake” deal to buy Disney’s stake in HBO CE; SPE’s options are to exit, maintain position with little board leverage, or exercise our preemptive right to buy-up and maintain equal board representation with Time Warner Transaction would be structured to protect SPE’s ongoing operating relationship with HBO in Central Europe Sale of our HBO CE stake requires near-term approval and execution to close within FY10 assuming a 4-6 month regulatory review We are also in negotiations for a sale of all or a portion of our 29.4% stake in HBO Latin America; assuming agreement on key terms, we will separately review this transaction with the GEC
