  5. Maa TV offers a unique opportunity to the Sony Group • SPE • Regional platform: Maa TV is the last significant regional platform which can be used to organically build the SPE Regional presence in different states (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala) and leverage existing MSM India brand franchises such as SAB and MIX; upside of those opportunities have not been included in the financials • Diversification and competitive position: Telugu market is faster growing than the Hindi national market and is more self contained than the Hindi market • Distribution: Strengthens TheOneAlliance distribution bouquet by adding regional channels and making it a more compelling offering in all parts of the country • Efficiencies: Ad sales, distribution infrastructure and management services to be provided by MSM over time • SONY • Sony brand exposure: With a careful migration to Sony branding, Maa TV offers an opportunity to expand the Sony brand presence with a deep penetration of small town India in the 3rd richest state where there is 90%+ cable & satellite penetration and hence a ready market for Sony electronics • Integration of hardware/content:Over time, implementation of one-click exclusive access to Maa TV’s library content on various hardware products like Sony Bravia TVs and Sony mobile phones supports premium pricing for these products • On the ground presence: Maa TV on the ground activities can be used to showcase Sony products and give it a leadership profile in the Andhra Pradesh market

  16. FYE15 ESOP Plan Details • FYE15 cash outlay • In the event the Maa ESOP participants / other shareholders do not sell to SPE, SPE’s share will not be diluted below 51%

  17. Income Statement FYE11 – FYE17F Excludes impact of proposed TRAI changes to television advertising guidelines (a) Assumes January 31, 2013 close and excludes $5MM in estimated transaction costs (b) EBITDA adjusted for changes to amort policy in FYE12 – Mgmt changed from 75/25 in Y1 / Y2 to 100% in Y1. Adjustment resulted in 25% amortization movement from FYE12 to FYE11 (c) Fair value analysis in progress. Purchase price amortization is estimated and may vary by >10% 17

  18. Advertising Revenue • Represents ~80% of gross revenue • Forecast is calculated as effective rate multiplied by expected utilization of 86%-90%. Utilization in FYE12 was 86% • Maa receives a weekday effective rate of ~INR 2,300, 28% of Gemini’s INR 8,200 • Maa’s effective rate in FYE17 is expected to be 5,800, representing a 21% CAGR • If Maa achieves its forecast and Gemini grows at the market rate of 15%, Maa’s rate will still be just 35% of Gemini’s in FYE17, as shown below (INR)

  19. Subscription Revenue • Represents ~15-20% of gross revenue • Forecast is calculated as rate (by MSO) multiplied at a forecast year-over-year rate of growth • Maa receives an effective rate per reported subscriber of INR 6 versus INR 15 for Gemini and INR 11 for Zee and ETV • Maa’s management has a conservative view on the effects of digitization and has experienced resistance from MSOs regarding price increases. As a result, Maa is forecasting subscription revenue to grow at a 15% CAGR, versus the market forecast rate of 23-25% • This represents potential upside if MSM is able to negotiate higher rates than Maa management is expecting to achieve independently

  20. Programming Expenses • Programming expenses are expected to remain high in the forecast period • Movies represent by far the largest programming expenditure – 40%-48% during the forecast period
