(a) 

In the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a gain on the CMH transaction of approximately $1.3 billion (See Note 3—Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions). In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of its investment in SKY Network Television Ltd. of $321 million (See Note 5—Investments). In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $1.4 billion. (See Note 7—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets).

(b) 

The Separation was completed on June 28, 2013, and the Company issued 579 million shares of common stock. This initial share amount is being utilized for the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share for all years presented prior to the Distribution Date as no News Corporation common stock or equity-based awards were outstanding prior to June 28, 2013. The dilutive effect of the Company’s equity-based awards issued in connection with the Separation is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share in the period subsequent to the Separation. (See Note 12—Earnings per Share).
