Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

TelevisaUnivision, Inc. and subsidiaries

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of TelevisaUnivision, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Successor entity), and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for the periods from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 and May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor entity) and the period from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor entity), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Successor entity), and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the periods from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 and May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor entity) and the period from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor entity) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

Page 2

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

TELEVISAUNIVISION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2022

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data, unless otherwise indicated)

1. Company Background

Nature of operations—TelevisaUnivision, Inc. (“TelevisaUnivision”), (formerly known as Univision Holdings II, Inc. (“UH Holdco”) or Searchlight III UTD L.P. (“Searchlight”)) is a holding company and the ultimate parent of Univision Communications Inc. Searchlight was originally formed on February 19, 2020 and held a 26.04% equity investment in Univision Holdings, Inc. (“UHI”), see Note 5. The Searchlight/ForgeLight Transaction. Effective May 18, 2021, UH Holdco became the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of UHI, (see “May 18, 2021 Reorganization Transaction” below). UHI owns Broadcast Media Partners Holdings, Inc. (“Broadcast Holdings”) which owns Univision Communications Inc., (together with its subsidiaries, collectively referred to herein as “UCI”). UH Holdco was renamed TelevisaUnivision upon the completion of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction (see “TelevisaUnivision Transaction” below). TelevisaUnivision together with its subsidiaries, are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, except where the context indicates otherwise.

As the leading Spanish-language media and content company in the world, TelevisaUnivision features the largest Spanish- language library of owned content and industry-leading production capabilities that power its streaming, digital and linear television offerings, as well as its radio platforms. The Company’s linear networks include the top-rated broadcast networks Univision and UniMás in the U.S. and Las Estrellas and Canal 5 in Mexico. TelevisaUnivision is home to 36 Spanish-language cable networks, including Galavisión and TUDN, the No. 1 Spanish-language sports network in the U.S. and Mexico. With the most compelling portfolio of Spanish-language sports rights in the world, TelevisaUnivision has solidified as the home of soccer. TelevisaUnivision also owns and manages 59 television stations across the U.S., four broadcast channels in Mexico affiliated with 222 television stations and Videocine studio. TelevisaUnivision is home to premium streaming services ViX, and Blim TV, which altogether host over 50,000 hours of high-quality, original Spanish-language programming from distinguished producers and top talent, and the SVOD global streaming platform ViX+. The company’s prominent digital assets include Univision.com, Univision NOW, and several top-rated digital apps. The Radio operations, known as the Uforia Audio Network, the Home of Latin Music, which encompasses 57 owned or operated U.S. radio stations, a live event series and a robust digital audio footprint. Additionally, the Company incurs corporate expenses separate from the linear/digital and radio operations which include general corporate overhead and unallocated, shared company expenses related to human resources, finance, legal and executive services which are centrally managed and support the Company’s operating and financing activities. Unallocated assets include the retained interest in the Company’s accounts receivable facility, fixed assets and deferred financing costs that are not allocated to the segments.

TelevisaUnivision Transaction—On January 31, 2022 Grupo Televisa, S.A.B (“Televisa”; NYSE:TV; BMV:TLEVISA CPO) and UH Holdco announced the completion of the transaction between Televisa’s media content and production assets and UCI (the “TelevisaUnivision Transaction”). The combined new company, which was named TelevisaUnivision, Inc., creates the world’s leading Spanish-language media and content company. TelevisaUnivision produces and delivers premium content for its own platforms and for others, while also providing innovative solutions for advertisers and distributors globally. As a result of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction, TelevisaUnivision reaches nearly 60% of the respective TV audiences in both the U.S. and Mexico. Across television, digital, streaming, and audio, the Company reaches over 100 million Spanish speakers every day, holding leading positions in both markets. See Note 3. TelevisaUnivision Transaction.

May 18, 2021 Reorganization Transaction—On May 18, 2021, UH Holdco became the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of UHI through a series of transactions pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2021, (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, UH Holdco (formerly known as Searchlight) held a non-controlling interest in UHI, see Note 5. The Searchlight/ForgeLight Transaction. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, Searchlight was converted into a Delaware corporation named Univision Holdings II, Inc. (which was subsequently re-named TelevisaUnivision, Inc. as the closing of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction. Pursuant to the Reorganization, the following transactions, among others, were effected contemporaneously:

the existing stockholders of UHI (other than UH Holdco) exchanged their shares of UHI for the same number and class of shares of UH Holdco;
the existing parent of UH Holdco converted its equity interests into the same number and class of shares of UH Holdco; and

9


UH Holdco issued shares of common stock for aggregate consideration of $8.3 million to a new investor, which common stock represented approximately 1.1% of the issued and outstanding stock of UH Holdco.

The Reorganization required Federal Communications Commission approval and was effectuated primarily to (i) prepare for the TelevisaUnivision Transaction and other potential strategic transactions, (ii) facilitate a new investment in UH Holdco and (iii) allow Televisa to recognize significant capital tax losses. Through the Reorganization, UH Holdco acquired a controlling financial interest in UHI. As a result, the Reorganization was accounted for under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) (“UH Holdco Business Combination”).

See Note 4. Acquisition of UHI.

Pursuant to the Reorganization, UH Holdco’s stockholders adopted a certificate of incorporation and UH Holdco adopted a certificate of designations, powers, preferences and rights that together provided for, among other things, the authorization of 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, 5,000,000 shares of Class C subordinated common stock (which was subdivided into four sub-classes) and 500,000 shares of preferred stock (of which 100,000 shares were designated as Series A preferred stock). Immediately following the Reorganization, the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company consisted of Class A common stock, Class C subordinated common stock and Series A preferred stock. On January 31, 2022, the Series A preferred stock was converted into 1,845,293 Class A common stock.

Radio Stations Sale - On June 3, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 18 non-strategic radio stations. On December 30, 2022, the Company completed the sale of 17 non-strategic radio stations and expects to complete the sale of the final station in 2023. The Company recorded a gain of $28.3 million in the Gain /loss on disposition within the consolidated statements of operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.

The Company reassessed its reportable segments and aggregated its linear/digital and radio operating segments into one reportable segment, Media and Entertainment. These changes impacted the company’s reportable segment beginning in the third quarter of 2022 but did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. All prior period segment information has been recast to reflect the change in reportable segment. See Note 25. Segments.

Predecessor and Successor Reporting—On May 18, 2021, the Company consummated the acquisition of all outstanding and issued equity interests of UHI, pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, and owns 100% of UHI and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The UH Holdco Business Combination is accounted for under the scope of ASC 805, in which UH Holdco was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Due to the primary activity for the acquirer prior to the acquisition limited to a step-up gain and equity earnings in UHI, UHI is deemed the “Predecessor”. Accordingly, the business combination is accounted for using the acquisition method which requires the Company to record the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from UHI. See Note 1. Company Background and Note 4. Acquisition of UHI.

The financial statements separate the Company’s presentation into distinct periods between the Successor entity (TelevisaUnivision) and the Predecessor entity (UHI). Due to the significance of remeasuring the Company’s prior equity interest in UHI held before the UH Holdco Business Combination (See Note 4. Acquisition of UHI) we have presented a stub period statement of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period prior to the consummation of the UH Holdco Business Combination (January 1, 2021 to May 17, 2021) and a stub period statement of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods on or after May 18, 2021, after the consummation of the UH Holdco Business Combination. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting under the scope of ASC 805 as of the closing of the UH Holdco Business Combination, the financial statements for Predecessor entity and for the Successor entity are presented on a different basis of accounting and are, therefore not comparable.

Principles of consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Non-controlling interests have been recognized where a controlling interest exists, but the Company owns less than 100% of the controlled entity. Non-controlling interest is recorded for the period of an investment’s equity which is not controlled by the Company. The Company has consolidated the special purpose entities associated with its accounts receivable facility (see Note 17. Debt). This determination was based on the fact that these special purpose entities lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional support from the

10


Company and, additionally, that the Company retains the risks and rewards of their activities. The consolidation of these special purpose entities does not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company accounts for investments over which it has significant influence but not a controlling financial interest using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the earnings and losses of these companies is included in Acquisition related costs and other, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations of the Company. For equity investments which are not accounted for under the equity method, the Company measures these investments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company holds equity positions in several small early-stage entities which may not have readily determinable fair values. For such securities, the Company utilizes the measurement alternative to carry these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. A security will be considered identical or similar if it has identical or similar rights to the equity securities held by the Company. The Company reviews its investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values for impairment each reporting period when there are qualitative factors or events that indicate possible impairment. Factors the Company considers in making this determination include negative changes in industry and market conditions, financial performance, business prospects, and other relevant events and factors. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company prepares quantitative assessments of the fair value of its investments in equity securities, which require judgment and the use of estimates. When the Company’s assessment indicates that the fair value of the investment is below its carrying value, the Company writes down the investment to its fair value and records the corresponding charge in Acquisition related costs and other, net, within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses, including impairments, during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of derivatives, pension and post retirement benefits, lease assets and liabilities, investments, property, plant and equipment, definite lived intangibles, indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill; amortization of program rights and prepayments; and reserves for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies.

Foreign Currency—The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of most of the Company’s international subsidiaries is the local currency. Financial statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and at average exchange rates for revenues and expenses for the respective periods. Translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gain and losses resulting from the conversion of the transaction currency to functional currency are included in other income (expense), net.

Cash equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Fair value measurements—The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1, inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

RevenueAdvertising—The Company generates advertising revenue from the sale of advertising on broadcast and cable networks, local television and radio stations. The Company also generates revenue from the sale of display, mobile and video advertising, as well as sponsorships, on our various digital properties. In some cases, the network advertising sales are subject to ratings guarantees that require the Company to provide additional advertising time if the guaranteed audience levels are not achieved. Revenues for any

11


audience deficiencies are deferred until the guarantee audience levels are met, by providing additional advertisements. Advertising contracts, which are generally short-term, are billed monthly, with payments due shortly after the invoice date.

Advertising revenue from the sale of advertising on broadcast and cable networks, local television and radio stations is recognized when advertising spots are aired and performance guarantees, if any, are achieved. The achievement of performance guarantees related to U.S. broadcasting operations are based on audience ratings from an independent research company. If there is a guarantee to deliver a targeted audience rating, revenues are recognized based on the proportion of the audience rating delivered to the total guaranteed in the contract. For impression-based digital advertising, revenue is recognized when “impressions” are delivered, while revenue from non-impression-based digital advertising (primarily sponsorship) is recognized over the period that the advertisement run. “Impressions” are defined as the number of times that an advertisement appears in content viewed by users of the Company’s digital properties. Sponsorship advertisement revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.

Subscriber Fee—Subscriber fee revenue includes fees charged for the right to view the programming content of the Company’s broadcast networks, cable networks and stations through a variety of distribution platforms and viewing devices. Subscriber fee revenue is principally comprised of fees received from multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”) and third-party live streaming services (“virtual MVPD’s” or “vMVPD”) for carriage of the Company’s networks and for authorizing carriage (“retransmission consent”) of Univision and UniMás broadcast networks aired on the Company’s owned television stations as well as fees for digital content. Typically, the Company’s networks and stations are aired by MVPDs and vMVPDs pursuant to multi-year carriage agreements that provide for the level of carriage that the Company’s networks and stations will receive, and if applicable, for annual rate increases. Subscriber fee revenue is largely dependent on the market demand for the content that the Company provides, the contractual rate-per-subscriber negotiated in the agreements, and the number of subscribers that receive the Company’s networks or content. Subscriber fees received from cable and satellite MVPDs are recognized as revenue in the period during which services are provided. Subscriber fee revenues are net of the amortization of any capitalized amounts paid to MVPDs. The Company defers these capitalized amounts and amortizes such amounts through the term of the agreement.

Additionally, the Company’s subscriber fee revenue includes monthly fees related to access to our SVOD global streaming platform. Subscribers are billed on a monthly basis in advance of obtaining access to the platform. Subscription fees related to the SVOD service are recognized ratably over the term of the subscription.

The Company also receives retransmission consent fees related to television stations that the Company does not own (referred to as “affiliates”) that are affiliated with Univision and UniMás broadcast networks. The Company has agreements with its affiliates whereby the Company negotiates the terms of retransmission consent agreements for substantially all of its Univision and UniMás stations with MVPDs. As part of these arrangements, the Company shares the retransmission consent fees received with certain of its affiliates.

Program Licensing—The Company licenses programming content for digital streaming and to other cable and satellite providers. Program licensing revenue is recognized when the content is delivered, and all related obligations have been satisfied. For licenses of internally-produced television programming, each individual episode delivered represents a separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized when the episode is made available to the licensee for exhibition and the license period has begun. All revenue is recognized only when it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration for the program licensing.

Other Revenue—The Company classifies revenue from contractual commitments (including non-cash advertising and promotional revenue) primarily related to Televisa as Other Revenue. The Company also recognizes other revenue related to support services provided to joint ventures and related to spectrum access in channel sharing arrangements. From time to time the Company enters into transactions involving its spectrum.

Program rights and prepayments—The Company produces and acquires program rights to exhibit programming on its broadcast and cable networks and digital streaming platforms. Program rights principally consist of television series, specials, movies, and sporting events. Program rights aired on the Company’s broadcast and cable networks and digital streaming platforms is sourced from a wide range of third-party producers, wholly-owned production studios, and sports associations. Costs for internally-produced and acquired programming rights, including prepayments for such costs, are recorded within the non-current portion of “Program rights and prepayments” on the Consolidated balance sheet, with the exception of content acquired with an initial license period of 12 months or less and prepaid sports rights expected to air within 12 months.

The Company capitalizes costs for produced program rights, including direct production costs, development costs, print costs, and production overhead, of original programs when incurred. For licensed program rights, the costs incurred to acquire programming are capitalized as a program right and prepayment and a corresponding liability payable to the licensor are recorded when (i) the cost of the programming is reasonably determined; (ii) the programming has been accepted in accordance with the terms of the agreement;

12


(iii) the programming is available for its first showing or telecast and (iv) the license period has commenced. Programming rights and prepayments includes advance payments for rights to air sporting events that will take place in the future.

For purposes of amortization and impairment, the capitalized content costs are classified based on their predominant monetization strategy. Programs rights are either monetized individually or as part of a film group. The substantial majority of our program rights and prepayments are predominantly monetized as a film group on our broadcast and cable networks and digital streaming platforms. For programming rights that are predominantly monetized as part of our broadcast and cable networks film group, which includes acquired programming rights and internally-produced television programs, capitalized costs are amortized based on an estimate of the timing of our usage of and benefit from such programming, generally resulting in an accelerated or straight-line amortization pattern. For programming rights that are predominantly monetized as part of our recently launched digital streaming platform, due to a lack of historical information with respect to usage pattern on our digital platform, programming rights that are being predominantly monetized as part of this film group are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated economic life of six (6) years or the lesser of a license period, if applicable. Adjustments to projected usage are applied prospectively in the period of the change. For programming costs that are predominantly monetized on an individual basis, program rights are amortized utilizing an individual-film-forecast- computation method over the title’s life cycle based upon the ratio of current period revenue to estimated remaining total expected revenue. Acquired program costs for multi-year sports programming arrangements are amortized over the license period based on the ratio of current-period direct revenue to estimated remaining total direct revenue over the remaining contract period. Amortization expense of program rights and prepayments is included in “Direct Operating Expense,” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

All program rights and prepayments on the Company’s balance sheet are subject to regular recoverability assessments. The Company has a three-year development cycle which begins with the initial capitalization of the development costs. Film development costs that have not been set for production are expensed within three years unless they are abandoned earlier, in which case these projects are written down to their estimated fair value in the period the decision to abandon the project is determined.

The Company’s predominant monetization strategy determines how the impairment testing is performed for program rights and prepayments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of content monetized on its own or as a film group may exceed its estimated fair value. In addition, a change in the predominant monetization strategy is considered a triggering event for impairment testing before a title is accounted for as part of a film group. If the carrying value of an individual monetized content or film group, exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment charge will be recorded in the amount of the difference. For content that is predominately monetized individually, we utilize estimates including ultimate revenues and additional costs to be incurred (including exploitation and participation costs), in order to determine whether the carrying value of the program rights is impaired. In the event the Company decides not to air a program, an impairment loss reducing the corresponding asset to zero is recorded to reflect the programming asset abandonment.

Accounting for goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets—Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment on October 1 or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment exists.

The Company first assesses the qualitative factors for reporting units that carry goodwill. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. In performing a qualitative assessment, the Company considers relevant events and circumstances that could affect the reporting unit fair value. These circumstances may include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, and entity-specific events, business plans, and strategy. The Company considers the totality of these events, in the context of the reporting unit, and determines if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment results in a conclusion that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, then no further testing is performed for that reporting unit.

When a qualitative assessment is not used, or if the qualitative assessment is not conclusive and it is necessary to calculate fair value of a reporting unit, then the impairment analysis for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The quantitative impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value, considering the related income tax effect of any goodwill deductible for tax purpose.

In performing the quantitative assessment, we measure the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approaches. The assessment requires us to make judgments and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Under the income approach, the Company calculated the present value of the reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows (discounted cash flow analysis). Significant estimates and assumptions include the amount and timing of expected future cash flow, risk-adjusted discount rates based on a weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the reporting unit’s ability to execute on its projected cash flows. The expected cash flows

13


used in the income approach are based on the Company’s most recent forecast and budget and, for years beyond the budget, the Company’s estimates, which are based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. Assumptions used in the estimate of future cash flows, including the WACC, are assessed based on the reporting units’ current results and forecasted future performance, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors.

Determining fair value using a market approach considers multiples of financial metrics based on both acquisitions and trading multiples of a selected peer group of companies. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple is determined which is applied to financial metrics to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit.

The Company also has indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as television and radio broadcast licenses and tradenames. The Company’s television and radio broadcast licenses have indefinite lives because the Company expects to renew them and renewals are routinely granted with little cost, provided that the licensee has complied with the applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). Historically, all material television and radio licenses that have been up for renewal have been renewed. The Company is unable to predict the effect that further technological changes will have on the television and radio industry or the future results of its television and radio broadcast businesses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment exists.

The fair value of the television and radio broadcast licenses is determined using the direct valuation method which is classified as a Level 3 measurement. Under the direct valuation method, the fair value of the television and radio broadcast licenses is calculated at the network or market level as applicable. The application of the direct valuation method attempts to isolate the income that is properly attributable to the television and radio broadcast licenses alone (that is, apart from tangible and identified intangible assets). It is based upon modeling a hypothetical “greenfield” build-up to a “normalized” enterprise that, by design, lacks inherent goodwill and whose only other assets have essentially been paid for (or added) as part of the build-up process. Under the direct valuation method, it is assumed that rather than acquiring television and radio broadcast licenses as part of a going concern business, the buyer hypothetically develops television and radio broadcast licenses and builds a new operation with similar attributes from inception. Thus, the buyer incurs start-up costs during the build-up phase. Initial capital costs are deducted from the discounted cash flow model which results in a value that is directly attributable to the indefinite-lived intangible assets. The key assumptions used in the direct valuation method are market revenue growth rates, market share, profit margin, duration and profile of the build-up period, estimated start-up capital costs and losses incurred during the build-up period, the risk-adjusted discount rate and terminal values. The market revenue growth rate assumption is impacted by, among other things, factors affecting the local advertising market for local television and radio stations. This data is populated using industry normalized information representing an average FCC license within a market.

Univision Network and UniMás network programming is broadcast on the television stations. FCC broadcast licenses associated with the Univision Network and UniMás stations are tested for impairment at their respective network level. Broadcast licenses for television stations that are not dependent on network programming are tested for impairment at the local market level. Radio broadcast licenses are tested for impairment at the local market level.

The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is more than its carrying amount, then the Company concludes that the intangible asset is not impaired.

If the Company does not choose to perform the qualitative assessment, or if the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, then the Company calculates the fair value of the intangible asset and compares it to the corresponding carrying value. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess carrying value over the fair value.

For the Company’s broadcast license impairment testing, significant unobservable inputs utilized included discount rates and terminal growth rates. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is classified as a Level 3 measurement.

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, intangible assets with definite lives, channel-sharing arrangements and program right prepayments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Derivative instruments—The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their respective fair values. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

For all hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as part of a cash flow hedging relationship, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the derivative is marked to market with the change in fair value recorded directly into interest expense. The Company classifies cash flows from its derivative transactions as cash flow from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. For derivative transactions that have an other-than-insignificant financing element, all cash flows are classified as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (i) it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (iii) the cash flow hedge is de-designated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring; or (iv) management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings, and any associated balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the forecasted transactions that originally were being hedged affect earnings. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the hedging relationship.

Treasury Stock—When stock is acquired for purposes other than formal or constructive retirement, the purchase price of the acquired stock is recorded in a separate treasury stock account, which is separately reported as a reduction of equity.

Property and equipment and related depreciation—Property and equipment are carried at historical cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company removes the cost and accumulated depreciation of its property and equipment upon the retirement or disposal of such assets and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is then recognized. Land improvements are depreciated up to 15 years, buildings and improvements are depreciated up to 50 years, broadcast equipment over 5 to 20 years and furniture, computer and other equipment over 3 to 7 years. Property and equipment financed with finance leases are amortized over the shorter of their useful life or the remaining life of the lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Deferred financing costs—Deferred financing costs consist of payments made by the Company in connection with its debt offerings, primarily ratings fees, legal fees, accounting fees, private placement fees and costs related to the offering circular and other related expenses. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method.

Advertising and promotional costs—The Company expenses advertising and promotional costs in the period in which they are incurred. The Company recorded advertising and promotional costs of $306.1 million, $49.7 million, $10.5 million and $24.0 million for years ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), for the periods from May 18 through December 31, 2021 (Successor) and from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Share-based compensation—Compensation expense relating to share-based payments is recognized in earnings using a fair-value measurement method. The Company uses the straight-line attribution method of recognizing compensation expense over the requisite service period which generally matches the stated vesting schedule. The Company’s stock options vest over periods of between three and five years from the date of grant. The Company’s restricted stock unit awards vest over periods of between three and four years from the date of grant. The fair value of each new stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Inherent in this model are assumptions related to stock price, expected stock-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate is based on data derived from public sources. In general, the estimated stock

15


price is based on comparable public company information and the Company’s estimated discounted cash flows. The expected stock-price volatility is primarily based on comparable public company information. Expected term and dividend yield assumptions are based on management’s estimates. The fair value of restricted stock units awarded to employees is measured at estimated intrinsic value at the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.

Post-employment benefits—The Company has pensions and seniority premiums (post-employment benefits) for its Mexican employees which are funded through irrevocable trusts. The post-employment benefits liability or asset increases or decreases based upon actuarial calculations. Contributions to the trusts are determined in accordance with actuarial estimates of funding requirements. Payments of post-employment benefits are made by the trust administrators. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation.

Remeasurement of post-employment benefit obligations related to experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions of post-employment benefits are recognized in the period in which they are incurred as part of other comprehensive income or loss.

Income taxes—Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company classifies all deferred tax assets and liabilities, net as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet. Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The future realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in either the carry back or carry forward period under the tax law for the deferred tax asset. In a situation where the net operating losses are more likely than not to expire prior to being utilized the Company has established the appropriate valuation allowance. If estimates of future taxable income during the net operating loss carryforward period are reduced the realization of the deferred tax assets may be impacted. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. There is considerable judgment involved in assessing whether deferred tax assets will be realized and in determining whether positions taken on the Company’s tax returns are more likely than not of being sustained.

Concentration of credit risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include primarily cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and financial instruments used in hedging activities. The Company’s objective for its cash and cash equivalents is to invest in high-quality money market funds that are prime AAA rated, have diversified portfolios and have strong financial institutions backing them. The Company sells its services and products to a large number of diverse customers in a number of different industries, thus spreading the trade credit risk. No one customer represented more than 10% of revenue of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor) and for the periods from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor) and from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor), and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor) or more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial condition and historical experience. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. The counterparties to the agreements relating to the Company’s financial instruments consist of major international institutions. The Company does not believe that there is significant risk of nonperformance by these counterparties as the Company monitors the credit ratings of such counterparties and limits the financial exposure with any one institution.

Securitizations—Securitization transactions in connection with UCI’s accounts receivable facility are classified as debt on the Company’s balance sheet and the related cash flows from any advances or reductions are reflected as cash flows from financing activities. UCI sells to investors, on a revolving non-recourse basis, a percentage ownership interest in certain accounts receivable through wholly owned special purpose entities. UCI retains interests in the accounts receivable that have not been sold to investors. The retained interest is subordinated to the sold interest in that it absorbs 100% of any credit losses on the sold receivable interests. UCI services the receivables sold under the accounts receivable facility.

Recently adopted —In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which changes how entities will recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers. The provisions of ASU 2021-08 will require acquiring entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The provisions of ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an interim period is required to apply the amendments (i) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim periods of early adoption and (ii) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company early adopted this guidance during the fourth quarter of 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior acquisitions in the current annual period, and the impact in future periods will be dependent on the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations.

Subsequent events—The Company evaluates subsequent events and the evidence they provide about conditions existing at the date of the balance sheet as well as conditions that arose after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. The effects of conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements. Events and conditions arising after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued are evaluated to determine if disclosure is required to keep the financial statements from being misleading. To the extent such events and conditions exist, disclosures are made regarding the nature of events and the estimated financial effects for those events and conditions. For purposes of preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the following notes to these financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events through April 28, 2023, the date the financial statements were issued.

3. TelevisaUnivision Transaction

On January 31, 2022 (the “acquisition date”), Televisa and UH Holdco (together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Univision Communications Inc.) announced the completion of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction. As a result, UH Holdco through its subsidiary Univision acquired a 100% equity interest in Televisa’s content and media business and is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the TelevisaUnivision Transaction is accounted as a business combination under the scope of ASC 805. The TelevisaUnivision Transaction created the world’s leading Spanish-language media and content company, producing and delivering premium content for its own platforms and for others, while also providing innovative solutions for advertisers and distributors globally.

The total consideration consisted of $3,146.5 million in cash and total equity consideration of $1,545.4 million, comprised of UH Holdco Class A common stock and Series B participating preferred stock of UH Holdco, with an annual cumulative dividend of 5.5%. The fair value of the equity consideration was determined using a contingent claims analysis. The TelevisaUnivision Transaction was financed through (i) $1.0 billion of UH Holdco Series C preferred stock investment led by the SoftBank Latin American Fund (“SoftBank”), along with ForgeLight, with participation from Google and The Raine Group, (ii) $1.05 billion of 4.0% Term loan due 2029 and (iii) $1.05 billion of 4.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, see Note 17. Debt. Prior to the transaction, the Company had an obligation to provide future advertising and promotion time at no charge to Televisa. Concurrent with the transaction, this obligation was settled. See Note 16. Related Party Transactions.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined based on assumptions that reasonable market participants would use in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the business. The Company’s purchase accounting is not yet complete and will be finalized in the first quarter of 2023; the determination of the fair value of certain leased assets and the impact on intangible assets is preliminary and subject to revision. The measurement period adjustments are reflected in the purchase price allocation table below.

As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), we recorded measurement period adjustments to our provisional estimates of deferred tax liabilities as we received more information with respect to acquired book to tax basis differences and updates in valuations received from the Company’s valuation specialists during the year. We also finalized a working capital resulting in an adjustment of $25.9 million to the total consideration transferred and goodwill. These adjustments reduced goodwill by $28.2 million. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed the purchase accounting for the TelevisaUnivision Transaction, which resulted in an increase in goodwill of $12.4 million.

The Company recorded net deferred tax assets of $364.5 million from the TelevisaUnivision Transaction primarily related to licenses, content rights, and advanced deposits for taxes. Such amounts are included in the table as Other non-current assets and Other non-current liabilities.

The Televisa’s content and media assets business purchase price was $4,691.9 million which has resulted in the goodwill recognition of $2,236.2 million, assigned to the Media and Entertainment reportable segment. The full amount of Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Goodwill recognized is due to the (i) expected cash flow savings related to the elimination of the Program License Agreement with Televisa, (ii) ability to generate in-house content beyond the existing content library which would be expected to drive advertising, subscription and streaming revenue, (iii) existing assembled workforce and know how acquired as part of the transaction, and (iv) continuous push and ability to add new MSO and advertiser relationships to further grow the combined business.

The Company used discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analyses, which represent Level 3 fair value measurements, to assess certain components of its purchase price allocation as a result of the acquisition. The fair value of the programming contents acquired was determined using an income approach based on existing portfolio usage and historical content decay curves. The fair value of trade names and trademarks was determined using an income approach based on the relief from royalty method. The fair value for MSO and advertiser relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The fair value for Broadcast license in Mexico, which was renewed on January 1, 2022, and the fair value for property, plant and equipment were determined using the current cost method. For the fair value estimates, the Company used: (i) projected discounted cash flows, (ii) historical and projected financial information, (iii) synergies including cost savings, (iv) royalty rates and (v) attrition and decay rates, as relevant, that market participants would consider when estimating fair values. The Company is amortizing the acquired identifiable definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives from the acquisition date. The Transaction resulted in the Company recording deferred tax assets related to the step up in tax basis of certain assets and deferred tax liability related to acquired intangibles not amortizable for tax purposes.

18


The Company incurred $103.1 million of acquisition-related expenses, of which $47.3 million were expensed and included in Acquisition related costs and other, net and $55.8 million primarily related to financing fees which were capitalized and recorded as deferred financing costs and presented as a direct reduction of the Company’s long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet.

The financial results of Televisa’s content and media business are included in the Company’s financial statements, beginning January 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company included $1,432.5 million of revenue and $431.0 million of net loss in the Consolidated statement of operations related to Televisa’s content and media business.

Unaudited Pro Forma Impact of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction and the Reorganization

The following unaudited information represents the supplemental pro forma results of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as if the TelevisaUnivision Transaction and the Acquisition of UHI (see Note 4) (presented on a combined basis) had occurred on January 1, 2021, for both the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 after giving effect to certain adjustments, including depreciation and amortization of the assets acquired and interest expenses of the new debt. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, pro forma adjustments include an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $5.2 million and $57.9 million, respectively, and increase in interest expense of $5.8 million and $88.5 million, respectively related to new debt adjustments in purchase accounting. To present transaction-related costs in the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented pro forma adjustments include a reduction in transaction-related costs of $47.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments required under the acquisition method of accounting, is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had these acquisitions occurred on the aforementioned dates.

4. Acquisition of UHI

The Reorganization discussed in Note 1. Company Background was accounted for by UH Holdco in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805, as UH Holdco obtained a controlling financial interest in UHI and UHI constitutes a business with inputs, processes, and outputs. Accordingly, the acquisition of UHI constitutes the acquisition of a business for purposes of ASC 805 and due to the change in control of UHI, was accounted for using the acquisition method. The fair value of assets deemed acquired and liabilities assumed was determined based on assumptions that reasonable market participants would use in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability.

Prior to the Reorganization date, UH Holdco accounted for its 26.04% interest in UHI as an equity-method investment with a balance of $227.9 million. The acquisition-date fair value of the previous equity interest was $849.1 million and is included in the measurement of the total UH Holdco Business Combination consideration. The Company recognized a gain of $621.2 million as a result of remeasuring its prior equity interest in UHI held before the business combination. The gain was included in (Gain) loss on investments within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the period January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021. The Company determined the fair value of its previously-held equity interest in UHI using the business enterprise value approach as discussed further below.

The Company’s management, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, estimated the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of the Reorganization Date.

UHI’s fair value was determined using the business enterprise valuation approach that discounted UHI’s projected cash flows based on a probability weighted scenario of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction occurring or not occurring and associated weighted average cost of capital. UHI’s fair value was estimated to be $10,422.5 million which resulted in recognition of Goodwill of $5,325.9 million, which has been assigned to the Media and Entertainment reportable segment. The Goodwill recognized is due to the expected significant synergies from the TelevisaUnivision Transaction such as (i) improved monetization of the combined libraries and advertising inventory resulting from the TelevisaUnivision Transaction, leading to anticipated revenue synergies, (ii) anticipated costs synergies from relocation of personnel and production to Mexico and procurement efficiencies due to economies of scale and (iii) anticipated significant recurring subscriber fee and streaming revenue as a result of the launching of the global Spanish Language streaming service.

The Company used discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analyses, which represent Level 3 fair value measurements, to assess certain components of its purchase price allocation. The fair value of tradenames and trademarks was determined using an income approach based on the relief from royalty method. The fair value for broadcast, MSO relationships, advertiser relationships and tower customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The fair value for FCC license was determined using the greenfield method. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined using the current cost method. The fair value of interest-bearing debt was determined using publicly-traded prices. For the fair value estimates, the Company used: (i) projected discounted cash flows, (ii) historical and projected financial information, (iii) synergies including cost savings, (iv) royalty rates and (v) attrition rates, as relevant, that market participants would consider when estimating fair values. The Company is amortizing the

20


acquired identifiable definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives from the acquisition date. The acquisition of UHI did not result in a step-up in the basis of any of the Company’s assets (including Goodwill) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Transaction costs incurred in the UH Holdco Business Combination were immaterial and expensed in the Successor period.

5. The Searchlight/ForgeLight Transaction

On December 29, 2020, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dates as of February 24, 2020 and related transactions, Searchlight and ForgeLight (“Searchlight/ ForgeLight Transaction”) completed their acquisition of a portion, and UHI repurchased and canceled the remaining portion in connection with its issuance of new Series A preferred stock of UHI to Liberty Global Ventures Limited (“Liberty”), of UHI Class A and Class B common stock from Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, Providence Equity Partners Inc., Saban Capital Group, Inc., TPG Global, LLC, Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Original Sponsors”) and certain other institutional investors and management stockholders of UHI. In connection with the Searchlight/ForgeLight Transaction, UHI entered into a subscription agreement with Liberty pursuant to which Liberty subscribed for shares of a newly designated series of preferred stock of UHI, the Series A preferred stock, with an aggregate purchase price equal to the value of stock repurchased and canceled by UHI as described above. Grupo Televisa neither sold nor acquired any shares of UHI common stock. Following the consummation of Searchlight/ForgeLight Transaction, UHI’s stockholders included Searchlight, ForgeLight and Grupo Televisa as holders of common stock, Liberty, as a holder of Series A preferred stock, which was convertible into the UHI’s common stock, and members of management, as holders of equity awards, which, subject to vesting in accordance with their terms, settle into shares of common stock. As a result of the Searchlight/ForgeLight Transaction, UCI funded transaction costs of $68.0 million which were expensed as incurred and are included in Acquisition related costs and other, net within the Predecessor’s consolidated statement of operations.

8. Leases

The Company has long-term operating leases expiring on various dates for office, studio, automobile and tower rentals. The Company’s operating leases, which are primarily related to buildings and tower properties, have various renewal terms and escalation clauses. The Company also has long-term finance lease obligations for facilities and transmission and technical equipment assets that are used to transmit and receive its network signals in the U.S. and Mexico. Our leases generally have remaining terms ranging from 3 to 45 years and often contain renewal options to extend the lease for periods ranging from 5 years to 25 years. For leases that contain renewal options, we include the renewal period in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

We evaluate whether our contractual arrangements contain leases at the inception of such arrangements. Specifically, we consider whether we can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. Contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as an operating or finance lease where the Company is a lessee. Our right-of-use operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and our operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. The underlying assets under finance leases are recorded as components of property and equipment and the corresponding finance lease liability is recorded as a component of long-term debt and finance lease obligations. Variable lease payments consist primarily of common area maintenance and service related costs, personnel costs, utilities and taxes, which are not included in the recognition of ROU assets and related lease liabilities. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Both the operating lease right to use asset and liability are recognized as of the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using secured borrowings of companies with similar credit ratings and adjusted for the Company’s current issuing rates for senior secured debt. The Company combines the lease and non-lease components of lease payments in determining right of use assets and related lease liabilities. If the lease includes one or more options to extend the term of the lease, the renewal option is considered in the lease term if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option(s). Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. As permitted by ASC 842, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the accompanying balance sheet. Lease cost for finance leases includes the amortization of the Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) asset included within property and equipment, which is amortized on a straight-line basis and recorded to Depreciation and amortization, and interest expense on the finance lease liability, which is calculated using the interest method and recorded to Interest expense.

22


The Company has operating subleases which have been accounted for by reference to the underlying asset subject to the lease rather than by reference to their associated right-of-use asset.

The components of lease costs are as follows:

See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion of the Company’s assessments of impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Goodwill which associated with our linear/digital reporting unit was tested quantitatively as of October 1, 2022. Based on our annual impairment assessment process for goodwill, the Company had a $1,498.0 million impairment during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor) which primarily reflects an increased discount rate and reduced estimated future cash flows as a result of macroeconomic conditions, and is recorded in the Impairment loss within in the Consolidated statement of operations.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets other than Goodwill

For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), the Company recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $128.4 million related to certain television broadcast licenses due to the macro-conditions affecting traditional television in the United States. For the period from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor), the Company recognized an impairment loss of $3.4 million related to certain television broadcast licenses due to the decision not to renew such licenses. For the period from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor), due to market indicators in connection with determining the fair value of intangible assets as of the Reorganization Date, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $68.3 million related to certain radio broadcast licenses. In 2020, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $87.2 million primarily related to certain radio broadcast licenses, resulting from the scaling back in the overall market of advertising purchases due to COVID-19 and a $54.1 million write-down of TV FCC licenses due to the requirement to sell certain minor operating stations in the linear/digital operations as part of the Searchlight/ForgeLight transaction and impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

The were no impairment losses for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), for the periods from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor) and from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor). The Company recognized impairment losses on the tradename in the radio operations of $14.4 million during 2020 resulting from the scaling back in the overall market of advertising purchases due to COVID-19.

The restructuring activities initiated prior to 2020 were primarily intended to rationalize costs. The restructuring activities initiated in 2020 were due to further initiatives to rationalize costs and the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring activities initiated in 2021 were due to further initiatives to rationalize costs. The restructuring activities related to the recent acquisitions, including the TelevisaUnivision Transaction, are expected to be completed by December 31, 2023. Future charges arising from additional activities associated with these restructuring activities cannot be estimated but are not expected to be material.

Severance for individual employees and related charges relate primarily to severance arrangements with former employees unrelated to the Company’s restructuring activities.

13. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value.

Accounts Receivable – The Company’s accounts receivable arise from the sale of advertising on broadcast and cable networks, local television and radio stations that generate advertising revenue. The Company also generates revenue from the sale of display, mobile and video advertising, as well as sponsorships, on our various digital properties. In addition, accounts receivable arise through subscriber fee revenue from fees charged for the right to view the programming content of the Company’s broadcast networks, cable networks and stations through a variety of distribution platforms and viewing devices. Subscriber fee revenue is principally comprised of fees received from MVPDs and vMVPDs for carriage of the Company’s networks and for carriage of the Univision and UniMás broadcast networks aired on the Company’s owned television stations as well as fees for digital content.

The Company considers a number of factors in estimating the credit losses associated with its accounts receivable including historical experience, the current financial condition of an individual customer and overall market conditions. The Company evaluates its credit losses on a customer by customer basis.

During the period from January 1, 2021 to May 17, 2021, the Predecessor recorded provision for expected credit losses of $0.8 million, write-offs of $0.6 million and recognized $0.2 million of recoveries.

Interest Rate Swaps—The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. These interest rate swaps are measured at fair value primarily using significant other observable inputs (Level 2). In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. See Note 18. Interest Rate Swaps.

The majority of inputs into the valuations of the Company’s interest rate swap derivatives include market-observable data such as interest rate curves, volatilities, and information derived from, or corroborated by market-observable data. Additionally, a specific unobservable input used by the Company in determining the fair value of its interest rate derivatives is an estimation of current credit spreads to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The inputs utilized for the Company’s own credit spread are based on implied spreads from its privately placed debt securities with an established trading market. For counterparties with publicly available credit information, the credit spreads over the LIBOR used in the calculations represent implied credit default swap spreads obtained from a third-party credit data provider. Once these spreads have been obtained, they are used in the fair value calculation to determine the credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) component of the derivative valuation. Based on the Company’s assessment of the significance of the CVA, it is not considered a significant input. The Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as Level 2 measurements. The Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Equity Investments Not Accounted for Under the Equity Method—The fair value of the Entravision Communications Corporation (“Entravision”) investment is based on the market value of Entravision’s Class A common stock which is a Level 1 input. See Note 14. Investments.

Asset measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis—The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, Right of Use assets, property and equipment, are adjusted to fair value when an impairment is recognized and purchase accounting occurs. The Company’s financial assets, comprising equity securities without readily determinable fair values, are adjusted to fair value when observable price changes are identified or an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.

Fair Value of Debt Instruments—The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt instruments as of December 31, 2022 (Successor) and December 31, 2021 (Successor) are set out in the following tables. The fair values of the credit facilities are based on market prices (Level 1). The fair values of the senior notes are based on market yield curves based on credit rating (Level 2). See Note 17. Debt for information on recent financing transactions.

15. Acquisitions

Pantaya Acquisition

On September 13, 2022, the Company acquired a 100% equity interest in Pantaya, LLC (“Pantaya”), a U.S. streaming platform focused on Spanish-language content for a preliminary purchase consideration of $141.7 million (subject to a working capital adjustment and the transfer of some Puerto Rican radio assets which are pending FCC approval). The acquisition of Pantaya is accounted for as a business combination under the scope of ASC 805. The Pantaya acquisition enhanced our ongoing digital transformation by bringing together highly complementary streaming assets and building up our subscriber base.

33


The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined based on assumptions that reasonable market participants would use in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the business. The Company’s purchase accounting remains preliminary and the allocation of the preliminary purchase price to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed is provisional. These amounts will be subject to review and possible revision during the measurement period, which the Company expects to extend through September 2023. The subsequent adjustment of the provisional amounts may be material. Adjustments to initial preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and assumed liabilities during the measurement period, are recorded during the period in which the adjustment are determined, including the effect on earnings of any amounts we would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed (i.e. the historical reported financial statements will not be retrospectively adjusted).

The fair value for the e-commerce and wholesale/partner relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The summary of intangible assets acquired and the estimated useful life as of the acquisition date (amounts in thousands).

The Pantaya acquisition resulted in the recognition of preliminary Goodwill of $96.8 million which is assigned to the Media and Entertainment reportable segment and is pending finalization of purchase accounting. The full amount of Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Goodwill recognized is due to (i) the ability to integrate the Pantaya subscribers into the Company’s ViX+, subscription streaming service and (ii) existing Pantaya assembled workforce and know-how acquired as part of the transaction.

The Pantaya acquisition did not materially affect the Company’s results. The Company incurred $4.2 million of acquisition related costs which are expensed and recorded within the Acquisition related costs and other, net.

VIX, Inc. Acquisition

On January 30, 2021, the Predecessor acquired VIX, Inc., a leading independent ad-supported streaming service that offers video-on-demand content to U.S. Hispanics and consumers throughout Latin America for approximately $23.6 million (net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments). The acquisition of VIX, Inc. did not materially affect the Company’s results. The Company incurred immaterial acquisition costs.

The book value remaining under these advertising and promotion time commitments as of December 31, 2021 (Successor) was $197.3 million, based on the fair value of UCI’s advertising commitments determined in the Reorganization purchase accounting and is recorded as deferred revenue (See Note 11. Revenue Contract Balances). As result of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction and the termination of the 2011 PLA and Prior PLA, the remaining deferred revenue balance of $196.5 million for advertising and promotion time was settled in full, and separately, as part of the total consideration exchanged in the TelevisaUnivision Transaction. No gain or loss was recorded in conjunction with settling this pre-existing contractual relationship as the $196.5 million deferred revenue obligation as of the settlement date was determined to be equal to its fair value. The PLA deferred revenue balance was settled through a combination of cash and non- cash consideration, including commitment to provide free advertising for use by Televisa and its Subsidiaries at no cost for promotion of the soccer team and related assets of Club Futbol America S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of Televisa, through the 2025/2026 Mexican soccer season, which was determined to have a fair value of $45.7 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), for the periods from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor) and from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor) and for the year ended and December 31, 2020 (Predecessor), UCI satisfied its commitment for the periods resulting in revenue recognized of $10.0 million, $22.1 million, $16.8 million and $49.4 million, respectively. The deferred revenue is earned and revenue is recognized as advertising revenue as the related advertising and promotion time is provided.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, UCI and Televisa agreed to a reduction in deferred advertising commitments specific to fiscal 2021, respectively, which resulted in a $14.7 million reduction to other direct operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 (Successor).

Prior to the TelevisaUnivision Transaction, Televisa received royalties based on 16.45% of substantially all of UCI’s Spanish language media and entertainment revenue and an incremental 2.0% in royalty payments above a contractually defined revenue base ($1.63 billion). Included in the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor) period, UCI recorded a license fee to Televisa of $30.6 million representing the final period from January 1, 2022 until January 31, 2022. UCI had accrued license fees to Televisa of $31.0 million as of December 31, 2021 (Successor), which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

As discussed in Note 3. TelevisaUnivision Transaction, on April 13, 2021, a definitive agreement was entered into (the “Transaction Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, a subsidiary of UHI agreed to acquire Televisa’s content and media assets (other than certain assets related to the news content business and concessions). The TelevisaUnivision Transaction closed on January 31, 2022. As a result of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction, the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Televisa and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, have entered into a number of commercial agreements with respect to certain broadcasting rights, licenses, leasing agreements, and transition services.

The following table lists the significant related party arrangements between the Company and Televisa and its affiliates as of December 31, 2022:

Debt Instruments

2022 Financing Transactions

On August 26, 2022, UCI issued $400.0 million in additional aggregate principal amount of its existing 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “additional 2030 notes”). The additional 2030 notes were issued under the same indenture governing the initial 2030 notes, have the same terms as the initial 2030 notes and are treated as a single series with the initial 2030 notes. The additional 2030 notes were priced at 101.500%. As of December 31, 2022, after giving effect to the issuance of the additional 2030 notes, UCI has $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 outstanding.

On June 24, 2022, UCI issued senior secured debt of $1.5 billion made up of (i) a $500.0 million bank senior secured term loan A facility maturing in 2027 (the “New Term Loan A Facility”), (ii) a $500.0 million bank senior secured term loan B facility maturing in June 2029 (the “New Term Loan B Facility”) and (iii) $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “initial 2030 notes”). UCI utilized the debt issuance proceeds to (x) redeem all of the outstanding 9.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 of $370.0 million and (y) make a $1,130.0 million partial prepayment of the bank senior secured term loan B facility maturing in 2024 (the “2024 term loans”).

On January 31, 2022, UCI entered into a new bank credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, which provided a new senior secured term loan B facility of $1,050.0 million with a maturity date of January 31, 2029 (the “January 2029 term loans”). The 2022 Credit Agreement was further amended on June 24, 2022 to provide for the New Term Loan B Facility, which is treated as a separate class of term loans from the January 2029 term loans. As of December 31, 2022, UCI had two separate credit agreements (i) the 2007 Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs, as administrative agent, and (ii) the 2022 Credit Agreement (defined above).

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Bank senior secured revolving credit facility — At December 31, 2022 (Successor), UCI had no outstanding balance on the bank revolving credit facility and UCI had $610.0 million available for borrowing under its bank revolving credit facility following the June 2020 Amendment (as defined below).

On June 24, 2020, UCI entered into an amendment (the “June 2020 Amendment”) to the 2007 Credit Agreement governing UCI’s senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan facility, which are referred to collectively as the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities.” The June 2020 Amendment, among other things, (a) provided for a new class of revolving credit commitments that refinanced and decreased the commitments under the then existing revolving credit facility from $850.0 million to $610.0 million (with a letter of credit sub-facility thereunder of $175.0 million), subject to an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.35% per annum on the average unused daily revolving credit balance, which mature on April 30, 2025 (subject to an earlier maturity if certain indebtedness of UCI is not repaid or refinanced on or prior to the dates set forth in the credit agreement), and revolver drawings will typically bear interest at LIBOR (with no floor) and a margin of 3.75% per annum (with leveraged-based step downs consistent with the existing credit agreement); and (b) facilitated the incurrence of replacement term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.0 billion (the “2026 term loans”) to refinance a portion of the 2024 term loans, with the replacement term loans having a maturity date of March 15, 2026 and amortizing at 1.0% per annum on a quarterly basis, commencing on September 30, 2020. The replacement term loans will typically bear interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% per annum) plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum (with no leveraged-based step downs).

Approximately $1,922.7 million of 2024 term loans were not amended in the June 2020 Amendment, and continue to have a maturity date of March 15, 2024 and bear interest at the rates otherwise set forth in the existing credit agreement.

On June 24, 2022, UCI entered into an amendment (the “June 2022 Amendment”) to its Senior Secured Credit Facilities to, among other things, establish a new class of revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $522.0 million, which shall have a five year maturity date (subject to an earlier maturity if certain indebtedness of UCI is not repaid or refinanced on or prior to the dates set forth in the credit agreement; such early date, the “Springing Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at the Term SOFR rate with an interest rate margin tied to UCI’s leverage ratio ranging from 2.75%-3.75% per annum for Term SOFR loans and ranging from 1.75%-2.75% per annum for base rate loans (each with leverage-based step downs), which shall replace substantially all of the existing senior secured revolving credit facility described above, with exception to Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch’s $88.0 million commitment which matures on April 30, 2025 (subject to the springing maturity date provided in the June 2020 Amendment); provided that, UCI may, in its sole discretion and subject to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, elect to terminate any of such non-extended commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility altogether and/or cause any of such non-extended commitments to be assigned to a lender who will cause them to be a part of the new class of revolving credit commitments. The extended senior

38


secured revolving credit facility and non-extended senior secured revolving credit facility are collectively referred to as the “senior secured revolving credit facilities”.

Bank senior secured term loan facility maturing in 2024 – On June 24, 2022, UCI partially prepaid the principal balance of $1,130.0 million of the 2024 term loans using the proceeds from the issuance of New Term Loan A Facility, the New Term Loan B Facility and the initial 2030 notes. On August 26, 2022, UCI used the net proceeds from the additional 2030 notes issuance to prepay an additional $406.0 million of the 2024 term loans. As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), the total aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2024 term loans was $361.3 million and the unamortized fair value adjustment as a result of the Reorganization was $0.1 million. The 2023 term loans will mature on March 15, 2024.

Bank senior secured term loan facility maturing in 2026 – As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), the total aggregate principal amount of the 2026 term loans was $1,934.3 million, the unamortized deferred financing costs balance was $6.7 million, and the unamortized fair value adjustment as a result of the Reorganization was $14.7 million. In July 2021, UCI entered into an amendment of its senior secured credit agreement to reprice the 2026 term loans to LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25% per annum with a 0.75% per annum LIBOR floor. The repriced 2026 term loans have a maturity date of March 15, 2026 and amortize at 1.0% per annum on a quarterly basis, commencing on September 30, 2021.

Bank senior secured term loan facility maturing in 2027 - On June 24, 2022, UCI entered into the June 2022 Amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facilities to, among other things, (a) establish a non-fungible tranche of senior secured “term A” loans (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and (b) make a prepayment of the 2024 term loans. The Term Loan A Facility has a five-year maturity date (subject to the Springing Maturity Date) and has an interest rate margin tied to UCI’s leverage ratio ranging from 2.75%-3.75% per annum for Term SOFR loans and ranging from 1.75%-2.75% per annum for base rate loans (each with leverage-based step downs). The loans under the Term Loan A Facility amortize at 5.0% per annum on a quarterly basis, commencing on September 30, 2022. UCI used the proceeds from the issuance of the Term Loan A Facility to fund the partial prepayment of the 2024 terms loans. The partial prepayment occurred concurrently with the closing of the Term Loan A Facility on June 24, 2022. As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), the total aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility was $487.5 million, and the unamortized deferred financing costs balance was $2.9 million.

Bank senior secured term loan facilities maturing in 2029 – On January 31, 2022, UCI entered into the 2022 Credit Agreement, which initially provided for the January 2029 term loans that were funded in full in connection with the closing of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction on January 31, 2022. UCI may choose to pay interest on the January 2029 term loans at either a LIBOR-based rate (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) or a base rate, in each case plus a margin of (i) 2.250% per annum for base rate loans or (ii) 3.250% per annum for LIBOR rate loans, subject to mechanisms to replace LIBOR upon certain circumstances with a new reference rate. The January 2029 term loans are subject to amortization in equal quarterly installments (commencing on June 30, 2022) of principal in an aggregate amount equal to 1.00% per annum, with the remaining balance payable at the final date of maturity. The January 2029 term loans are guaranteed by Broadcast Holdings and UCI’s material, wholly-owned restricted domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), and are secured by, among other things, substantially all of the assets of UCI, Broadcast Holdings and UCI’s material, wholly-owned restricted domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions). The priority of security interests and related creditors’ rights for the January 2029 term loans are set forth in an intercreditor agreement. As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), the total aggregate principal amount of the January 2029 term loans was $1,042.1 million, and the unamortized deferred financing costs balance was $43.2 million.

On June 24, 2022, UCI entered into the June 2022 Amendment of the 2022 Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) establish a new class of incremental first lien term B loans constituting the New Term Loan B Facility and (b) make a prepayment of the 2024 term loans (the term loans outstanding under the 2022 Credit Agreement, as amended, are referred to collectively as the “New Term Loan Facility”). The loans under the New Term Loan B Facility bear an interest rate margin of 4.25% per annum for Term SOFR loans and 3.25% per annum for base rate loans. The loans under the New Term Loan B Facility have a maturity date of June 24, 2029 and amortize at 1.0% per annum on a quarterly basis, commencing on September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), the total aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loan B Facility was $497.5 million, the unamortized deferred financing costs balance was $3.7 million, and the unamortized discount was $13.7 million.

The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for an incremental facility that UCI may use to add one or more incremental term loan facilities, increase commitments under the existing term loan facility and/or add one or more incremental revolving loan facilities by up to (i) a fixed amount of $750.0 million, plus (ii) an unlimited amount of additional first-lien obligations so long as the consolidated first-lien leverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, does not exceed 6.00:1.00 or, if incurred in connection with an acquisition or other investment permitted under the credit agreement, would be leverage neutral, plus (iii) an unlimited amount of additional junior lien obligations, so long as the consolidated secured leverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, does not exceed 7:00:1.00, plus (iv) an unlimited amount of additional unsecured debt, so long as the consolidated total leverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, does not exceed 8.50:1.00, in each case, subject to other customary conditions and exceptions.

39


Additionally, UCI will be permitted to further refinance (whether by repayment, conversion or extension) its existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the New Term Loan Facility (in addition to the new incremental facilities described above) with certain permitted additional first-lien, second-lien, senior and/or subordinated indebtedness, in each case if certain conditions are met.

UCI used the net proceeds from the New Term Loan Facility as described above.

In addition, mandatory prepayments will be required to prepay amounts outstanding under the New Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to:

100% (which percentage will be reduced upon the achievement of specified performance targets) of net cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions by UCI or any of its restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, ratable sharing provisions and reinvestment provisions; and
100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence after the closing date of any additional debt by UCI or any of its restricted subsidiaries (excluding debt permitted under the 2022 Credit Agreement, other than any indebtedness which serves to refinance or extend indebtedness then outstanding under the 2022 Credit Agreement, which shall be required to prepay loans as set forth in such credit agreement).

Voluntary prepayments of principal amounts outstanding under loans governed by the 2022 Credit Agreement will be permitted at any time; however, if a prepayment of principal is made with respect to an adjusted LIBOR loan or a Term SOFR loan, as applicable, on a date other than the last day of the applicable interest period, the lenders will require compensation for any funding losses and expenses incurred as a result of the prepayment. Under certain circumstances, a prepayment of all or any portion of the term loans governed by the 2022 Credit Agreement pursuant to a repricing transaction may be subject to a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the principal amount so prepaid.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, prepayments of subordinated indebtedness, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The 2022 Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenant.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness in excess of specified amounts, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of specified amounts, failure of any material provision of any guaranty or security document supporting the term loans thereunder to be in full force and effect, and a change of control.

The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the New Term Loan B Facility to fund the partial prepayment of the 2024 term loans. The partial prepayment occurred concurrently with the closing of the New Term Loan B Facility on June 24, 2022.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the effective interest rate related to UCI’s senior secured term loans was 4.96% including the impact of interest rate swaps and 5.27% excluding the impact of interest rate swaps. UCI is permitted to further refinance (whether by repayment, conversion or extension) UCI’s senior secured credit facilities (including the extended credit facilities) with certain permitted additional first-lien, second-lien, senior and/or subordinated indebtedness, in each case, if certain conditions are met.

5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2025

The 5.125% senior notes due 2025 (the “5.125% 2025 senior notes”) are ten-year notes. On February 19, 2015, UCI issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% 2025 senior notes, pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 19, 2015. UCI issued an additional $810.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% 2025 notes on April 21, 2015. The 5.125% 2025 senior notes mature on February 15, 2025 and pay interest on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2015. Interest on the 5.125% 2025 senior notes accrues at a fixed rate of 5.125% per annum and is payable in cash. On September 5, 2017, UCI purchased $80.6 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% 2025 senior notes through asset sale offers at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of purchase. At December 31, 2022 (Successor), the outstanding principal balance of the 5.125% 2025 senior notes was $1,479.4 million and the unamortized fair value adjustment as a result of the Reorganization was $14.3 million.

On and after February 15, 2020, the 5.125% 2025 senior notes may be redeemed, at UCI’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at the redemption prices set forth below. The 5.125% 2025 senior notes will be redeemable at the applicable redemption price (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the 5.125% 2025 senior notes to be redeemed) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 15 of each

40


of the following years: 2021 (101.708%), 2022 (100.854%), 2023 and thereafter (100.000%). If UCI undergoes a change of control, as defined under its debt agreements, it may be required to offer to purchase the 5.125% 2025 senior notes from holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Subject to certain exceptions and customary reinvestment rights, UCI is required to offer to repay the 5.125% 2025 senior notes at par with the proceeds of certain assets sales.

UCI utilized the net proceeds from the issuance of the $750.0 million 5.125% 2025 senior notes to fund a tender offer to purchase a portion or any and all of UCI’s $1,200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior secured notes due 2019, including any fees and expenses relating to and in connection with the tender offer, and UCI also used the net proceeds from the issuance of the $810.0 million 5.125% 2025 senior notes to fund a tender offer to purchase a portion or any and all of UCI’s $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.875% senior secured notes due 2020, including any fees and expenses relating to and in connection with the tender offer.

On April 28, 2020, UCI issued $370.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.500% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “9.5% 2025 senior notes”) at an original issuance discount of 99.026%, plus accrued and unpaid interest from April 28, 2020. The 9.5% 2025 senior notes will mature on May 1, 2025. UCI will pay interest on the 9.5% 2025 senior notes at a fixed rate of 9.500% per annum semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2020. UCI may redeem the 9.5% 2025 senior notes, at UCI’s option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice at any time and from time to time at the redemption prices forth below. The 9.5% 2025 senior notes will be redeemable at the applicable redemption price (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the 9.5% 2025 senior notes to be redeemed) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on May 1 of each of the following years: 2022 (104.750%), 2023 (102.375%) and 2024 and thereafter (100.000%). At any time prior to May 1, 2022, UCI may redeem the 9.5% 2025 senior notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 9.5% 2025 senior notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest plus the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) an amount equal to the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such note at May 1, 2022, plus (2) all required interest payments due on such note through May 1, 2022 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture) as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (B) the principal amount of such note to be redeemed on such redemption date.

At any time, or from time to time, until May 1, 2022, UCI may, at UCI’s option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings to redeem up to 40% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 9.5% 2025 senior notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price equal to 109.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that (i) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of 9.5% 2025 senior notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding and (ii) UCI makes such redemption not more than 180 days after the consummation of any such equity offering. In addition, if UCI undergoes a change of control, it may be required to offer to purchase the 9.5% 2025 senior notes from holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Subject to certain exceptions and customary reinvestment rights, UCI is required to offer to repay the 9.5% 2025 senior notes at par with the proceeds of certain assets sales.

UCI utilized the net proceeds from the issuance of $370.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.5% 2025 senior notes to fund the redemption of the 6.750% senior secured notes due 2022, including accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption occurred on May 28, 2020.

On June 24, 2022, UCI redeemed all of the outstanding 9.5% 2025 senior notes, funding such redemption using the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 senior notes (defined below) and the New Term Loan B Facility.

6.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027

On June 18, 2020, UCI issued $1,500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “2027 senior notes”) at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest from June 18, 2020.

At any time prior to June 1, 2023, UCI may redeem the 2027 senior notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 senior notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest plus the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal

41


amount and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) an amount equal to the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such note at June 1, 2023, plus (2) all required interest payments due on such note through June 1, 2023 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture) as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (B) the principal amount of such note to be redeemed on such redemption date. At December 31, 2022 (Successor), the outstanding principal balance of the 2027 senior notes was $1,500.0 million and the unamortized fair value adjustment as a result of the Reorganization was $78.0 million.

At any time, or from time to time, until June 1, 2023, UCI may, at UCI’s option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings to redeem up to 40% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2027 senior notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price equal to 106.625% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that (i) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of 2027 senior notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding and (ii) UCI makes such redemption not more than 180 days after the consummation of any such equity offering. In addition, if UCI undergoes a change of control, it may be required to offer to purchase the 2027 senior notes from holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Subject to certain exceptions and customary reinvestment rights, UCI is required to offer to repay the 2027 senior notes at par with the proceeds of certain assets sales.

UCI used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 senior notes to fund the redemption of the 5.125% senior secured notes due 2023 (the “2023 senior notes”), including related fees and expenses. The redemption occurred on July 20, 2020. In addition, UCI prepaid $265.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 term loans with a portion of the proceeds of the 2027 senior notes.

4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029

On May 21, 2021, UCI issued $1,050.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 senior notes”) at par plus accrued and unpaid interest from May 21, 2021. The 2029 senior notes will mature on May 1, 2029. UCI will pay interest on the Notes at a fixed rate of 4.500% per annum semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. UCI used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to finance a portion of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction and to pay certain related transaction fees and expenses. At December 31, 2022 (Successor), the outstanding principal balance of the 2029 senior notes was $1,050.0 million and the unamortized deferred financing costs balance was $15.7 million.

The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of UCI’s material, direct and indirect wholly-owned restricted domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) that guarantee its Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Notes and the related guarantees are secured by a first priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the assets of the Company and UCI’s material, wholly-owned restricted domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) and the guarantors’ property and assets that secure obligations under UCI’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities, UCI’s New Term Loan Facility and existing senior notes.

Upon consummation of the offering of the 2029 senior notes, (i) the net proceeds of this offering were deposited into a segregated escrow account and (ii) UCI deposited into such escrow account an amount of cash that, when taken together with the net proceeds of this offering, would have be sufficient to fund a special mandatory redemption of the 2029 senior notes on April 13, 2022. Upon the closing of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction on January 31, 2022, the proceeds of the offering were used to pay a portion of the purchase price for the TelevisaUnivision Transaction and the amounts deposited in respect of pre-funded interest were returned to UCI.

UCI may redeem the 2029 senior notes, at UCI’s option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice at any time and from time to time at the redemption prices forth below. The 2029 senior notes will be redeemable at the applicable redemption price (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the 2029 senior notes to be redeemed) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 1 of each of the following years: 2024 (102.250%), 2025 (101.125%) and 2026 and thereafter (100.000%). At any time prior to May 1, 2024, UCI may redeem the 2029 senior notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 senior notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest plus the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) an amount equal to the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such 2029 senior note at May 1, 2024, plus (2) all required interest payments due on such 2029 senior note through May 1, 2024 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture) as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (B) the principal amount of such 2029 senior notes to be redeemed on such redemption date.

At any time, or from time to time, until May 1, 2024, UCI may, at UCI’s option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings to redeem up to 40% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2029 senior notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price equal to 104.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that (i) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 senior notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding

42


and (ii) UCI makes such redemption not more than 180 days after the consummation of any such equity offering. In addition, if UCI undergoes a change of control, it may be required to offer to purchase the 2029 senior notes from holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.

7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2030

UCI issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior secured notes due 2030 on June 24, 2022, at an original issuance discount of 99.255%, plus accrued and unpaid interest from June 24, 2022, and $400.0 million additional aggregate principal amount of the 2030 senior notes on August 26, 2022 at a premium of 101.500%, plus accrued and unpaid interest from June 24, 2022 (collectively, the “2030 senior notes”).

The 2030 senior notes will mature on June 30, 2030. UCI will pay interest on the 2030 senior notes at a fixed rate of 7.375% per annum semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing December 30, 2022. At December 31, 2022 (Successor), the outstanding principal balance of the 2030 senior notes was $900.0 million, the unamortized deferred financing costs balance was $10.9 million and the unamortized premium was $2.3 million.

UCI may redeem the 2030 senior notes, at UCI’s option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice at any time and from time to time at the redemption prices set forth below. The Notes will be redeemable at the applicable redemption price (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the 2030 senior notes to be redeemed) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 30 of each of the following years: 2025 (103.688%), 2026 (101.844%) and 2027 and thereafter (100.000%). At any time prior to June 30, 2025, UCI may redeem the 2030 senior notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 senior notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest plus the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) an amount equal to the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such note at June 30, 2025, plus (2) all required interest payments due on such note through June 30, 2025 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture) as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (B) the principal amount of such note to be redeemed on such redemption date.

At any time, or from time to time, until June 30, 2025, UCI may use the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings to redeem up to 40% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price equal to 107.375% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that (1) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the indenture remains outstanding and (2) UCI makes such redemption not more than 180 days after the consummation of any such equity offering. In addition, if UCI undergoes a change of control, it may be required to offer to purchase the 2030 senior notes from holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.

UCI used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 senior notes and the bank senior secured term loan facility maturing in June 2029 to fund the redemption of all $370.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 9.500% 2025 senior notes and discharged all obligations under the indenture pursuant to which the 9.500% 2025 senior notes were issued. The redemption occurred concurrently with the closing of the 2030 senior notes on June 24, 2022.

Accounts Receivable Facility

On October 5, 2021, UCI renewed its accounts receivable sale facility (as amended, the “Facility”), which, among other things, (i) extended the expiration date of the Facility to October 5, 2026, (ii) increased the letter of credit sublimit to $160.0 million under the revolving component of the Facility and (iii) lowered the interest rate on the borrowings under the Facility to a LIBOR market index rate (with a floor of 0.00%) plus a margin of 1.40% per annum. Interest is paid monthly on the Facility.

Under the terms of the Facility, certain subsidiaries of UCI sell accounts receivable on a true sale and non-recourse basis to their respective wholly-owned special purpose subsidiaries, and these special purpose subsidiaries in turn sell such accounts receivable to Univision Receivables Co., LLC, a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary in which certain special purpose subsidiaries of UCI and its parent, Broadcasting Partners, each holds a 50% voting interest (the “Receivables Entity”). Thereafter, the Receivables Entity sells to investors, on a revolving non-recourse basis, senior undivided interests in such accounts receivable pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. UCI (through certain special purpose subsidiaries) holds a 100% economic interest in the Receivables Entity. The assets of the special purpose entities and the Receivables Entity are not available to satisfy the obligations of UCI or its other subsidiaries.

43


The Facility is comprised of a $100.0 million term component and a $300.0 million revolving component that is subject to the availability of qualifying receivables. At December 31, 2022 (Successor), UCI had $100.0 million outstanding under the term component and none outstanding under the revolving component, and the interest rate was 5.205% applicable to both the term component and the revolving component. In addition, at December 31, 2022 (Successor), there was $52.3 million of outstanding letters of credit against the accounts receivable revolving component resulting in $247.7 million being available for borrowing under the accounts receivable revolving facility. In addition, the Receivables Entity is obligated to pay a commitment fee to the purchasers, such fee to be calculated based on the unused portion of the Facility. The Receivables Purchase Agreement contains customary default and termination provisions, which provide for the early termination of the Facility upon the occurrence of certain specified events including, but not limited to, failure by the Receivables Entity to pay amounts due, defaults on certain indebtedness, change in control, bankruptcy and insolvency events. The Receivables Entity is consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note Payable to Grupo Televisa

As of December 31, 2022, UCI (through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries) has an unsecured note payable to Grupo Televisa with an outstanding principal balance of $294.7 million with a maturity date of April 30, 2026 and a fixed annual rate of 10.2%.

Gain / Loss on Refinancing of Debt

For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), UCI recorded a gain on refinancing of debt of $5.4 million, as a result of the redemption of the 9.5% Senior Notes due 2025 and the write-off of unamortized premium of the partially paid down 2024 Term Loan. For the periods from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor) and from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor), the Company recorded a loss on refinancing of debt of $4.1 million and zero, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor), UCI recorded a loss on refinancing of debt of $57.7 million. The loss includes the premium, fees, the write-off of certain unamortized deferred financing costs and the write-off of certain unamortized premium related to instruments that were repaid.

Other Matters Related to Debt

Voluntary prepayment of principal amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the New Term Loan Facility is permitted at any time; however, if a prepayment of principal is made with respect to an adjusted LIBOR loan on a date other than the last day of the applicable interest period, the lenders will require compensation for any funding losses and expenses incurred as a result of the prepayment. Additionally, as noted above, certain prepayments of the New Term Loan Facility during the first six months of the New Term Loan Facility may require the payment of a 1.00% prepayment premium on the amounts so prepaid.

The agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Term Loan Facility and the senior secured notes contain various covenants and a breach of any covenant could result in an event of default under those agreements. If any such event of default occurs, the lenders of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Term Loan Facility or the holders of the senior secured notes may elect (after the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods) to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable thereunder, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, an event of default under the indentures governing the senior secured notes would cause an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the New Term Loan Facility, and the acceleration of debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the New Term Loan Facility or the failure to pay that debt when due would cause an event of default under the indentures governing the senior secured notes (assuming certain amounts of that debt were outstanding at the time). The lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities also have the right upon an event of default thereunder to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings. Further, following an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the lenders will have the right to proceed against the collateral. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Term Loan Facility, the 2029 senior notes, the 2027 senior notes, the 9.5% 2025 senior notes, and the 5.125% 2025 senior notes are secured by, among other things (a) a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of UCI, and UCI’s material restricted domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), as defined, including without limitation, all receivables, contracts, contract rights, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, and other tangible and intangible assets, subject to certain customary exceptions; (b) a pledge of (i) all of the present and future capital stock of each subsidiary guarantor’s direct domestic subsidiaries and the direct domestic subsidiaries of UCI and (ii) 65% of the voting stock of each of UCI’s and each guarantor’s material direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions; and (c) all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the New Term Loan Facility (but not the Notes, 2027 senior notes, 9.5% 2025 senior notes, or the 5.125% 2025 senior notes) are secured by all of the assets of Broadcast Holdings and a pledge of the capital stock of UCI and all proceeds of the foregoing.

44


Additionally, the agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Term Loan Facility and the senior secured notes include various restrictive covenants (including in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities when there are certain amounts outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility thereunder on the last day of a fiscal quarter, a first lien debt ratio covenant) which, among other things, limit the incurrence of indebtedness, making of investments, payment of dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, prepayments of other indebtedness, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Facilities and the New Term Loan Facility and the indentures governing the senior secured notes thereunder allow UCI to make certain pro forma adjustments for purposes of calculating certain financial ratios, some of which would be applied to adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (“Bank Credit Adjusted OIBDA”). UCI is in compliance with these covenants under the agreements governing its Senior Secured Credit Facilities, New Term Loan Facility and senior secured notes.

UCI may from time to time designate a subsidiary as “unrestricted subsidiaries” for purposes of its credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the New Term Loan Facility and indentures governing the senior secured notes. As unrestricted subsidiaries, the operations of these subsidiaries are excluded from, among other things, covenant compliance calculations and compliance with the affirmative and negative covenants of the credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities the New Term Loan Facility and indentures governing the senior secured notes. UCI may redesignate these subsidiaries as restricted subsidiaries at any time at its option, subject to compliance with the terms of its credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the New Term Loan Facility and indentures governing the senior secured notes.

The subsidiary guarantors under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Term Loan Facility and senior secured notes are substantially all of UCI’s domestic subsidiaries. The subsidiaries that are not guarantors include certain immaterial subsidiaries, special purpose subsidiaries that are party to UCI’s Facility and the designated unrestricted subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Univision Communications Inc. has no independent assets or operations.

UCI and its subsidiaries, affiliates or significant shareholders may from time to time, in their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of UCI’s outstanding debt or equity securities (including any privately placed debt securities with an established trading market), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

18. Interest Rate Swaps

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. UCI has agreements with each of its interest rate swap counterparties which provide that UCI could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to UCI’s default on the indebtedness. UCI does not enter into derivatives for trading purposes.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

During 2019, the Company entered into three new interest rate swaps which effectively converted the interest payable on $750 million of variable rate debt into fixed rate debt, at a weighted-average rate of approximately 1.86% through June 30, 2021 (Successor), when they matured.

45


On February 28, 2020, two forward-starting interest rate swaps that converted the interest payable on $2.5 billion of variable rate debt into fixed rate debt, at a weighted-average rate of approximately 2.94% became effective and will mature in February 2024. On September 10, 2021, the Company modified these two outstanding forward-starting interest rate swaps to extend the maturity from February 2024 to February 2026 and the floor was reduced from 1.00% to 0.75%. The weighted average interest rate as of December 31, 2022 (Successor) was therefore approximately 2.26%. As a result of this modification, there was an other-than-insignificant financing element identified which result in our swap settlement payments being classified as financing cash flows.

As a result of the Reorganization and UH Holdco’s election of pushdown accounting, all predecessor Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) balances were adjusted to zero and all swap contracts and at the Reorganization date the Company redesignated its two swaps totaling $2.5 billion as hedges under the successor financials. For the period from May 18, 2021 through June 30, 2021 (Successor), there was no material gain or loss recorded in interest expense for the three swap contracts totaling $750 million which matured on June 30, 2021 (Successor).

As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), the Company has two remaining effective cash flow hedges, as shown in the table below.

The Company does not offset the fair value of interest rate swaps in an asset position against the fair value of interest rate swaps in a liability position on the balance sheet. Because all of the Company’s interest rate swaps were in an asset position as of December 31, 2022 (Successor), if the Company had presented the fair value of the interest rate swaps on a net basis by counterparty, there would be no change to the consolidated balance sheet as of that date. Because all of the Company’s interest rate swaps were in a liability position as of December 31, 2021 (Successor), if the Company had presented the fair value of the interest rate swaps on a net basis by counterparty, there would be no change to the consolidated balance sheet as of that date. As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), UCI has not posted any collateral related to any of the interest rate swap contracts.

(a)In 2020, the amount of gain or (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCLI”) into income includes amounts that have been reclassified related to current effective hedging relationships as well as amortizing AOCLI amounts related to discontinued cash flow hedging relationships which matured on February 28, 2020. In 2021, the amount of gain or (loss) reclassified from AOCLI into income includes amounts that have been reclassified related to current effective hedging relationships and for the period from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor), amortizing AOCLI amounts related to the de-designation and re-designation of the hedges as a result of the Reorganization and subsequent modification of the outstanding swaps. In 2022, the amount of gain or (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCLI”) into income includes amounts that have been reclassified related to current effective hedging relationships as well as amortizing AOCLI amounts related to the off market component of the hedges as a result of the Reorganization and subsequent modification of the outstanding swaps. For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), the Company amortized approximately $23.3 million of reduction to interest expense on activities from AOCLI. For the period from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor), the Company amortized approximately $21.2 million of a reduction to interest expense on hedging activities from AOCLI related to the de-designation and re-designation of the hedges as a result of the Reorganization and subsequent modification of the outstanding swaps. There were no corresponding unrealized gains (or losses) on hedging activities amortized from AOCLI into interest expense for the period from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor). For the year ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor), the Company amortized approximately $1.0 million of reduction to interest expense on activities from AOCLI.

During the next twelve months, from December 31, 2022 (Successor), approximately $87.8 million of net unrealized gain will be reclassified from AOCLI to interest expense (inclusive of the amounts being amortized related to discontinued cash flow hedging relationships).

As a result of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction (See Note 3. TelevisaUnivision Transaction), the Company’s international operations that are subject to local income taxes has increased significantly. The acquired entities operate in territories where the statutory rate is in excess of the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate. With the exception of certain licenses and other assets acquired directly by the Company, the Transaction was a non-taxable business combination resulting in goodwill that is not tax deductible.

In response to COVID-19, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provides numerous tax and other stimulus measures. The Company benefited from the technical correction for qualified leasehold improvements, which changes 39-year property to 15-year property, be eligible for 100% tax bonus depreciation, acceleration of refunds of previously generated Alternative Minimum Tax credits and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2022 (Successor) and December 31, 2021 (Successor) are as follows:

At December 31, 2022 (Successor), the Company has various state tax effected net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $23.5 million (based on the current state income apportionment, the Company would require approximately $495.3 million of future taxable income to fully utilize such net operating loss carryforwards), which will expire in 2023 through 2035. We have $182.9 million of tax losses in various international territories that begin to expire in 2023 and $136.1 million of tax losses with an indefinite carryforward period. In addition, we have $30.5 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2022. The utilization of these carryforwards as an available offset to future tax is subject to limitations under current local income tax laws. These carryforwards begin to expire in fiscal year 2029.

At December 31, 2022 (Successor), the Company has capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $692.7 million, resulting in a deferred tax asset of $182.0 million for federal and state income tax purposes. Management assessed the realizability of this deferred tax asset and provided a full valuation allowance as it was not more-likely-than-not to be realized.

At December 31, 2022 (Successor), the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $200.9 million related to an advanced deposit for Mexican corporate income taxes. This amount is expected to be realized by end of fiscal year 2025.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.

54


At December 31, 2022 (Successor) and December 31, 2021 (Successor), the Company maintained a valuation allowance in the amount of $443.4 million and $377.6 million, respectively. These valuation allowances were primarily comprised of capital loss carryforwards of $182.0 million and $233.5 million, foreign deferred tax assets of $162.5 million and $67.2 million, and state tax credits in the amount of $64.0 million and $53.5 million, in each respective year, as it is more likely than not that the benefits of these deductible differences will not be realized. The change of ($65.8) million to the valuation allowance is driven by a $109.8 million increase primarily related to current year deferred tax assets recorded in foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit is provided due to uncertainty with respect to their realization, offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance due to the utilization of capital loss carry forwards in the current year as a result of a discrete transaction.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), the periods from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor) and from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor) and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor) the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is approximately $26.2 million, $14.7 million, $11.1 million and $16.4 million in the aggregate respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $12.4 million and $11.5 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022 (Successor) and December 31, 2021 (Successor), respectively. The Company recognized interest expense and penalties of $0.9 million, $1.8 million, $0.4 million, and ($1.1) million related to uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), the periods from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor) and from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor) and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. It is reasonably possible that certain income tax examinations may be concluded, or statutes of limitation may lapse, during the next twelve months, which could result in a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $9.0 million that would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns with the IRS and various state and international jurisdictions. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return for U.S. purposes and has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2020. Tax authorities are also conducting examinations of Company subsidiaries in various international and state and local jurisdictions. The Company has concluded substantially all income tax matters for all major jurisdictions through 2017.

22. Share-Based Compensation

On December 1, 2010, UHI established the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which replaced the amended and restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2010 Plan expired on January 2, 2021. On June 16, 2021, UHI II established the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”).

The 2010 Plan reflected the recapitalization of UHI and Broadcast Holdings whereby the original Class A common stock and Class L common stock of UHI and shares of Preferred Stock of Broadcast Holdings were converted to new classes of stock of UHI. Shares and strike prices for awards made under the 2007 Plan were converted to reflect such capital structure.

55


Both the 2021 Plan and 2010 Plan were adopted to attract, retain and motivate officers and employees of, consultants to, and non-employee directors. Under the 2021 Plan, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards made under the plan is 2,350,000 shares of all classes of stock. The Committee or Board of Directors, as applicable, may grant options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other stock-based awards. Awards may also be made under the 2021 Plan, in the Board of Directors or Committee’s sole discretion, in assumption of, or substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by UH II or an affiliate or a company acquired by UH II or an affiliate or a company with which UH II combines. Upon the exercise of a stock option award or the vesting of a restricted stock unit, shares of UH II common stock are issued from authorized but unissued shares.

The exercise price of stock options granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan and 2010 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of UH II’s common stock on the date of grant. No non-qualified stock option or stock appreciation right award will be exercisable after ten years from the date granted. The number of shares subject to an award, the consequences of a participant’s termination of service with UH II or any subsidiary or affiliate, and the dates and events on which all or any portion of an award shall be vested and non-forfeitable is set out in an individual award agreement.

As a result of the Reorganization and UH Holdco’s election of pushdown accounting, the non-vested restricted stock units granted prior to the Reorganization Date were exchanged from UHI to UH Holdco and accounted for as a modification. The Company determined the fair value of the non-vested restricted stock units for these awards based on their equity value as of the Reorganization Date. The fair value portion of the non-vested restricted stock units attributable to periods prior to the May 18, 2021 Reorganization Date (Predecessor periods) of $5.4 million was recorded to additional paid-in-capital while the fair value attributable to periods following the Reorganization date (Successor periods) of $87.3 million will be recognized as compensation cost over a weighted- average period of 3.5 years.

23. Pension, Post-retirement and Other Employee Benefits

As a result of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction (See Note 3. TelevisaUnivision Transaction), the Company assumed the pension and post-retirement benefits obligations relating to a defined benefit plan for its Mexican employees. The Company also assumed a legal indemnity post-employment benefits, which, pursuant to Mexican Labor Law, provides benefits for employees who are dismissed unjustifiably and entitles such employees to three months of salary, plus 20 days of salary per year of service.

Defined Benefit Plan

The defined benefit retirement pension plan and seniority premiums plan (the “Pension Plan”) covers Mexican based employees. Under the provisions of the Mexican Labor Law, seniority premiums plans are payable based on salary and years of service to employees who resign or are terminated prior to reaching retirement age. After retirement age, employees are no longer eligible for seniority premiums plans.

Expense recognized in relation to the Pension Plan is based upon actuarial valuations by using nominal assumptions and attributing the present value of all future expected benefits proportionately over each year from date of hire to age 65. Inherent in those valuations are key assumptions including discount rates and, where applicable, expected returns on assets. Discount rates are based on a bond portfolio approach that includes high-quality debt instruments with maturities matching the Company’s expected benefit payments from the plans. Expected returns on assets are based on the weighted-average expected rate of return and capital market forecasts for each asset class employed according to specific investment guidelines determined by the technical committees of the Pension Plan and seniority premiums trusts and in accordance with actuarial computations of funding requirements. Benefits are generally based on the employee’s compensation and years of service.

Plan Assets - Pension and Seniority Premiums

The plan assets are invested according to specific investment guidelines determined by the technical committees of the pension plan and seniority premiums trusts and in accordance with actuarial computations of funding requirements. These investment guidelines require a minimum investment of 30% of the plan assets in fixed rate instruments, or mutual funds comprised of fixed rate instruments. The plan assets that are invested in mutual funds are all rated “AA” or “AAA” by at least one of the main rating agencies. These mutual funds vary in liquidity characteristics ranging from one day to one month. The investment goals of the plan assets are to preserve

principal, diversify the portfolio, maintain a high degree of liquidity and credit quality, and deliver competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions.

The weighted average expected long-term rate of return of plan assets of 5.88% as of December 31, 2022 (Successor). The rate used reflected an estimate of long-term future returns for the plan assets. This estimate was primarily a function of the asset classes (equities versus fixed income) in which the plan assets were invested and the analysis of past performance of these asset classes over a long period of time. This analysis included expected long-term inflation and the risk premiums associated with equity investments and fixed income investments.

The plan assets are measured at fair value annually. The Company plan assets in the aggregate amount of $26.8 million as of December 31, 2022 (Successor) includes primarily investments in equity securities and mutual funds (fixed rate instruments). Investments in equity securities, are measured at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Investments in mutual funds consist of fixed rate instruments and are measured at the net asset value provided by the administrator of the fund. The plan assets return for $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor).

UCI has a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering all eligible employees over the age of 21. The 401(k) Plan allows the employees to defer a portion of their annual compensation, and UCI may match a portion of the employees’ contributions generally after the first day of service. Since April 1, 2021, UCI matched 100% of the first 3% of eligible employee compensation that was contributed to the 401(k) Plan. From May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021, UCI elected to not match any eligible employee compensation that was contributed to the 401(k) Plan. As of April 1, 2018 through April 30, 2020, UCI matched 100% of the first 3% of eligible employee compensation that was contributed to the 401(k) Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), the periods from May 18, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor) and from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor) and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor), UCI recognized expense for matching cash contributions of $18.2 million, $4.7 million, $1.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

24. Contingencies and Commitments

Contingencies

The Company maintains insurance coverage for various risks, where deemed appropriate by management, at rates and terms that management considers reasonable. The Company has deductibles for various risks, including those associated with windstorm and earthquake damage. The Company self-insures its employee medical benefits and its media errors and omissions exposures. In management’s opinion, the potential exposure in future periods, if uninsured losses were to be incurred, should not be material to the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to various lawsuits and other claims in the normal course of business. In addition, from time to time, the Company receives communications from government or regulatory agencies concerning investigations or allegations of noncompliance with law or regulations in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

60


The Company establishes reserves for specific liabilities in connection with regulatory and legal actions that the Company deems to be probable and estimable. The Company believes the amounts accrued in its financial statements are sufficient to cover all probable liabilities. In other instances, the Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate of any liability because of the uncertainties related to the outcome and/or the amount or range of loss. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of pending regulatory and legal matters in future periods will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of operations.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. However, for U.S dollar LIBOR, the relevant date has been deferred to June 30, 2023 for certain tenors (including one and three months), at which time the LIBOR administrator has indicated that it intends to cease publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR. Despite this deferral, the LIBOR administrator has advised that no new contracts using U.S. dollar LIBOR should be entered into after December 31, 2021. These actions indicate that the continuation of U.S. LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after June 30, 2023.

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC developed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. The Company has material Term Loans that are indexed to USD-LIBOR and that will automatically transition to Term SOFR + ARRC in July 2023.

Commitments

In the normal course of business, UCI enters into multi-year contracts for programming content, sports rights, research and other service arrangements and in connection with joint ventures.

The Company has long-term operating leases expiring on various dates for office, studio, automobile and tower rentals. The Company’s operating leases, which are primarily related to buildings and tower properties, have various renewal terms and escalation clauses. The Company also has long-term finance lease obligations for facilities and transmission and technical equipment assets that are used to transmit and receive its network signals in the U.S. and Mexico.

The following is a schedule by year of future minimum payments under programming and other non-lease related contracts as of December 31, 2022 (Successor):

25. Segments

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company reassessed its reportable segments and aggregated its two operating segments (linear/digital and radio) into one reportable segment, Media and Entertainment. In making this decision, the Company considered that the business activities and economic characteristics of each operation are similar in their development, production, and licensing of audio and visual content; distribution methods; monetization of content through advertising revenues that target one class of customers, Spanish speaking audience who utilize our various platforms; and similar OIBDA margin percentages. The Company has restated the segment reporting for the prior periods presented to align with the current reportable segment, Media and Entertainment.

61


The Company’s operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities that are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors. In addition to considering primary financial measures including revenue, management evaluates operating performance for planning and forecasting future business operations by considering Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below). Adjusted OIBDA eliminates the effects of certain items the Company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance.

Based on its customers and type of content, the Company has linear/digital and radio operations. The Company’s linear networks operations include the Univision and UniMás broadcast networks; 9 cable networks, including Galavisión and TUDN; and the Company’s owned or operated television stations. Further, the TelevisaUnivision Transaction brought in 4 broadcast channels, 27 pay-TV channels, and the Videocine movie studio. The digital operations include digital properties consisting of online and mobile websites and applications including Univision.com, free ad-based video on demand (AVOD) streaming service ViX, formerly known as PrendeTV, a subscription streaming service, ViX+ and Blim, a TV subscription video-on demand service in Mexico. The radio operations, known as the Uforia Audio Network, includes the Company’s owned and operated radio stations; a live event series; and the Uforia music application which includes the digital audio elements of Univision.com.

The Company incurs corporate expenses separate from the linear/digital and radio operating segments which include general corporate overhead and unallocated, shared company expenses related to human resources, finance, legal, other corporate departments and executive function which are centrally managed and support the Company’s operating and financing activities. Unallocated assets include the retained interest in the Company’s accounts receivable facility, fixed assets and deferred financing costs that are not allocated to its operating segments. The operating segments have separate financial information which is used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The reporting segment results reflected in the disclosures below illustrate how management evaluates its financial performance and allocates resources.

Adjusted OIBDA represents operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain additional adjustments to operating income. In calculating Adjusted OIBDA the Company’s operating income is adjusted for share-based compensation and other non-cash charges, restructuring and severance charges, as well as certain unusual and infrequent items and other non-operating related items.

Adjusted OIBDA is not, and should not be used as, an indicator of or alternative to operating income or income (loss) as reflected in the consolidated financial statements. It is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since the definition of Adjusted OIBDA may vary among companies and industries, it should not be used as a measure of performance among companies.

26. International Financial Reporting Standards

The consolidated financial statements of TelevisaUnivision are prepared in accordance with GAAP which differs in certain respects from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Under both GAAP and IFRS, as a result of the Reorganization transaction (See Note 1. Company Background and 4. Acquisition of UHI), on May 18, 2021 (the “Reorganization Date”), the consolidated financial statements and certain footnote disclosures included herein are presented in two distinct periods to indicate the application of two different bases of accounting, which may not be comparable, between the periods presented. The periods prior to the Reorganization Date are identified as “Predecessor” and the periods after the Reorganization Date are identified as “Successor”. In addition, and as result of the Reorganization, certain historical GAAP to IFRS differences have been eliminated. Below are the IFRS differences that existed as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor) and for each applicable period presented as described below.

a.

Share-Based Payments

Under GAAP, the Company accounts for share-based payment awards that vest in installments based on service conditions on a straight-line basis. In addition, deferred tax assets for awards that are expected to result in a future tax deduction are calculated based on the cumulative GAAP expense recognized. Under IFRS 2, Share-based payment, as amended, compensation expense associated with share-based payment awards is accounted for using the accelerated method (straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award). Deferred tax assets are calculated based on the estimated tax deduction determined at each reporting date under applicable tax law.

The following summarizes the adjustments related to the income statement and balance sheet accounts for the periods presented:

b.

Deferred Financing Costs

On April 18, 2020, the Company entered into a series of transactions which culminated in the issuance of 9.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 and the redemption of 6.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 on May 28, 2020. See Note 17. Debt. Under GAAP, the Company capitalized $7.0 million related to third party costs that were incurred with the issuance of 9.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 and will expense them over the terms of the newly issued note. Under IFRS, in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (here after ‘IFRS 9’), third-party costs associated with this substantial modification are expensed as incurred.

On June 18, 2020, the Company entered into a series of transactions which culminated in the issuance of 6.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 and the redemption of 5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 on July 20, 2020. See Note 17. Debt. Under GAAP, the Company capitalized $25.0 million related to third party costs that were incurred with the issuance of 6.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 and will expense them over the terms of the newly issued notes. Under IFRS, in accordance with IFRS 9, third-party costs associated with this substantial modification are expensed as incurred.

On June 24, 2020, the Company entered into the June 2020 Amendment to the credit agreement governing the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities. See Note 17. Debt. Under GAAP, for the period ended December 31, 2020 (Predecessor), the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $42.3 million of third-party costs related to the June 2020 Amendment. Under IFRS, in accordance with IFRS 9, third-party costs associated with this modification are capitalized and amortized over the remaining term of the modified debt. Additionally, $7.0 million of unamortized costs (from the $15.1 million from the March 2017 Amendment), which represents the proportional amount of unamortized costs, were amortized over the remaining term of the modified debt until May 17, 2021 (Predecessor), when this IFRS difference as well as those noted above were eliminated as part of the Reorganization. There were $42.1 million of remaining unamortized third-party costs capitalized under IFRS as of May 17, 2021. These costs were not recorded in the UH Holdco Business Combination purchase accounting which eliminated the GAAP to IFRS difference in the Successor reporting period.

In July 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement governing the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities. See Note 17. Debt. Under GAAP, for the period ended December 31, 2021 (Successor), the Company recorded a loss on refinancing of debt of $4.1 million of third-party costs related to this amendment. Under IFRS, in accordance with IFRS 9, third-party costs associated with this modification are capitalized and amortized over the remaining term of the modified debt.

On June 24, 2022, the Company issued senior secured debt of $1.5 billion made up of (i) Bank senior secured term loan facility maturing on June 24, 2027 of $500.0 million, (ii) Bank senior secured term loan facility maturing on June 30, 2029 of $500.0 million and (i) 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due June 30, 2030 of $500.0 million. The Company utilized the debt issuance proceeds to (i) redeem all of the outstanding 9.5% 2025 senior notes of $370.0 million and (ii) make a $1,130 million partial prepayment of the bank senior secured term loan facility maturing in 2024. Under GAAP, the Company capitalized $17.8 million related to third party costs that were incurred with the issuance of the senior secured debt and will be expensed over the respective terms. Under IFRS, in accordance with IFRS 9, these third-party costs are expensed as incurred. On August 26, 2022, $400.0 million additional aggregate principal amount of the 2030 senior notes were issued and the proceeds were used to make a $406.0 million partial prepayment of the bank senior secured

term loan facility maturing in 2024. The Company incurred immaterial third party costs related to the issuance of the senior secured debt resulting in no material GAAP to IFRS difference.

Program Rights Impairment

Under GAAP, program rights are tested for impairment on a stand-alone basis and impaired if the book value exceeds the fair value due to diminished forecasted profitability. Under IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, program rights are tested for impairment as a part of their associated cash-generating unit (“CGU”) and no impairment is recognized if the associated CGU is not impaired, or if the CGU is impaired, until any associated goodwill is fully impaired. Under both GAAP and IFRS, cancelled program rights which will never be broadcasted are considered obsolete and fully impaired.

Media Networks CGU Impairments

Under GAAP, long-lived assets, intangible assets with definite lives and indefinite lives are tested for impairment at an individual asset level and is allocated to the reportable unit. Under IFRS, the Company tests such assets for impairment at a CGU level, allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs. An accounting adjustment is made to reflect differences due to the level in which assets may be tested for impairment.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, under GAAP the Company recorded Goodwill impairment of $1,498.0 million, FCC Television license impairment of $128.4 million and Tradename impairment of $15.3 million. Under IFRS, the Company performed an impairment analysis at the CGU level and recorded an impairment of $1,473.6 million that was allocated in its entirety to Goodwill as IFRS requires that if a CGU is impaired that impairment is allocated first to reduce goodwill to zero, then, subject to certain limitations, the carrying amount of other assets in the CGU are reduced pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset. As a result the FCC Television license and Tradenames impairment charges under GAAP were reversed.

Preferred Shares

Under GAAP, the Convertible Preferred Shares are classified as temporary equity and presented as Redeemable Shares within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under IFRS, the Convertible Preferred Shares discussed below are accounted as a convertible financial instrument with an embedded derivative liability in accordance with IFRS 9. Under IFRS, the bifurcated derivative liability of the Convertible Preferred Shares is marked-to-market at each reporting period, with corresponding changes going through Finance expense or income.

Series A Preferred Shares - As noted in Note 16. Related Party Transactions, the Series A preferred shares were converted into 1,845,293 class A common stock resulting in the reclassification to shareholders’ equity of amounts recorded within other long-term liabilities and derivative financial liabilities related to the debt and embedded derivative liability component of the Series A preferred shares. Prior to this conversion the Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment to Finance expense of $7.6 million in January 2022 to increase the amount of the recorded bifurcated derivative liability component under IFRS. Additionally, upon conversion the Company also reclassified to shareholders’ equity a deferred tax asset of $70.4 million recorded under IFRS relating to the cumulative mark-to-market adjustments of the derivative liability component of the Series A preferred shares prior to their conversion to Class A common stock.

For the period from January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (Predecessor) and prior to the consummation of the Reorganization, there was a $265.8 million mark-to-market adjustment of the bifurcated derivative liability component under IFRS of the Series A preferred shares recorded as Finance expense, along with a $69.3 million deferred tax benefit, to reflect the increase in value for these shares as a result of the probable TelevisaUnivision Transaction.

Series B Preferred Shares - On January 31, 2022, the Company authorized and issued 750,000 Series B cumulative convertible Preferred Shares to Grupo Televisa, which were recorded at fair value of $852.6 million, pursuant to the TelevisaUnivision Transaction (refer to Note 3. TelevisaUnivision Transaction). The Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment to Finance income of $46.4 million to decrease the amount of the recorded bifurcated derivative liability component under IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company paid Series B preferred stock dividends of $37.8 million which are recorded as interest expense under IFRS. This stock dividend was recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity under GAAP.

Series C Preferred Shares - On January 31, 2022, the Company authorized 1,008,640 and issued 1,008,014 Series C convertible Preferred Shares to Soft Bank, Google, ForgeLight, Raine Group, and Other for $1,007.1 million, issued to finance the TelevisaUnivision Transaction (refer to Note 3. TelevisaUnivision Transaction). The Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment to Finance income of $86.4 million to decrease the amount of the recorded bifurcated derivative liability component under IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Interest Rate Swap

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate

risk management strategy. As of December 31, 2022 (Successor), the Company has two remaining effective cash flow hedges. See Note 18. Interest Rate Swaps. Under GAAP (ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging), hedge ineffectiveness is not separately measured and recognized in income each reporting period. If the hedge is highly effective, all changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument is deferred into other comprehensive income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedge transaction affects earnings.

Under IFRS 9, for cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is also deferred into OCI. However, the amount recognized in OCI should be the lower of (1) the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from the inception of the hedge, and (2) the cumulative change in the fair value (present value) of the expected cash flows on the hedged item from the inception of the hedge. The remaining ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument (if any) is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Pensions and post-employment benefits

As a result of the TelevisaUnivision Transaction (refer to Note 3. TelevisaUnivision Transaction), the Company assumed a legal indemnity post-employment benefits under the Mexican Labor Law. The plan covers for employees who are dismissed unjustifiably and such employees are entitled to three months of salary plus 20 days of salary per year of service.

Under GAAP - ASC 715, the Company records the liability when it is probable that the benefits will be paid and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Under IFRS (IAS 19 – Employee Benefits), the Company records the liability when there is a legal or constructive obligation, which is met at the earlier of recognizing the restructuring, severance and related costs or when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of the benefits. The Company records the legal indemnity related expenses as actual payments occur under IFRS.
