Transaction Summary Rationale for Transaction Project Alphabet 2 Combined Perspective Creation of global scale Creation of a more liquid stock with significantly larger float ($12Bn market capitalization assuming current L share price) Clarification of corporate opportunity - single stock, message, strategy Enhanced position with vendors, manufacturers and content providers Enhanced growth potential given stronger position to pursue distribution, consolidation and content investment opportunities Reduction in future financing costs Significant synergies from combination of Chilean assets Structural simplification Elimination of cost associated with two public companies U Perspective Better ability to pursue European consolidation given additional cash, stronger balance sheet position, and larger float / liquidity of stock Results in additional de-leveraging without transaction costs / discounts Opportunity to invest in well positioned Japanese distribution and content assets at an attractive price Elimination of controlling stake / Increased alignment with JM U minority shareholders' approximate 9% vote in U increases to approximately 25% in NewCo U CEO will continue as NewCo CEO L Perspective Simplification of corporate structure Reduction / Elimination of HoldCo discount on U stake Elimination of public market speculation regarding L's interest in U Near-term potential utilization of U capital losses Clarifies intentions with regard to usage of approximately $2Bn of cash and equivalents
