Vote Required; Recommendation

The unreserved and unissued shareselection of Class A Common Stock may be issued at such times, for such purposes and for such consideration as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, without further authority from the shareholders of the Company. A copy of the amended Section 3(1) of the Bye-laws is set forth in Exhibit A.

        The amendment to our Bye-laws and the conditions of its Memorandum to increase the authorized share capital and the number of authorized shares will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. However, our Board of Directors will have the authority to issue authorized stock without requiring future shareholder approval of such issuances, except as may be required by


applicable law or exchange regulations. To the extent that additional authorized shares are issued in the future, they will decrease the percentage equity ownership of existing shareholders, could decrease existing shareholders' voting power, and, depending upon the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing shareholders.

Preemptive Rights

        TW BV is a beneficial owner of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to an amended Investor Rights Agreement by and among Time Warner Inc., RSL Savannah LLC, Ronald S.

No Appraisal Rights

        Under Bermuda law and the Company's Bye-laws, holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dissenter's rights or appraisal rights with respect to the authorized share increase.

Vote Required; Recommendation

        The Bye-laws provide that the Company may from time to time, by ordinary resolution passed by the holders of common shares, increase its capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amounts, as the resolution shall prescribe. Adoption of an ordinary resolution to increase the share capital as described in this Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting, provided that a quorum is present in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum, but are not counted as votes cast.

        TW BV, which holds 49.6% of the voting power of our shares as of the record date for the Meeting, has agreed to vote in favor of this Proposal 1.

Unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying form of Proxy will be voted FOR the adoption of the amendment to the Company's Bye-laws and the conditions of its Memorandum to increase the authorized share capital of the Company from $25.6 million to $36.8 million by increasing the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 300,000,000 shares to 440,000,000 shares.

THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S BYE-LAWS AND THE CONDITIONS OF ITS MEMORANDUM TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK.

        As disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-194209) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Registration Statement"), including the Prospectus therein, the Company desires to distribute non-transferable rights ("Rights") at no charge to the holders of record as of the Rights Offering record date of the Company's outstanding (a) shares of Class A Common Stock, (b) share of Series A Preferred Stock (allocated on an as-converted basis) and (c) shares of Series B Preferred Stock (allocated on an as-converted basis as of December 25, 2013). The Company intends to distribute one (1) Right for every 62.0102 outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and every 62.0102 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock and upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (calculated as of December 25, 2013). The Company fixed 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 21, 2014 as the record date for determining the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock eligible to participate in the Rights Offering. We refer to the holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock as of the Rights Offering record date as the "Eligible Securityholders."

        We intend for each Right to entitle the holder to purchase, subject to the satisfaction of the minimum subscription amount (as defined below), at the subscription price of one hundred dollars ($100.00) (the "Subscription Price"), one (1) unit (each, a "Unit"), consisting of (a) a 15.0% Senior Secured Note due 2017 (each, a "New Note") in the original principal amount of $100.00 and (b) 21 unit warrants (each, a "Unit Warrant"), with each Unit Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Eligible Securityholders may only purchase whole Units in denominations of $100.00 per Unit (the "minimum subscription amount"). The Unit Warrants will be exercisable from the second anniversary of their issue date until the fourth anniversary of their issue date at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to the limited right of Time Warner to exercise its Unit Warrants earlier in order to maintain the TW Ownership Threshold (as defined below). The Company is offering 3,418,467 Units in the Rights Offering. The Rights may be exercised at any time during the subscription period stipulated in the Registration Statement, which will commence on April 3, 2014 and expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 25, 2014, unless otherwise extended by us.

        Time Warner has agreed to enter into a standby purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the Company prior to the commencement of the Rights Offering. Under the Purchase Agreement, Time Warner will commit, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions (described below under "Summary of Transaction Agreements and Warrants"), to exercise in full its subscription privilege at the Subscription Price for all of the Rights allocated to Time Warner in the Rights Offering in respect of its shares of Class A Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to Time Warner, and Time Warner has agreed to


purchase, 581,533 Units (the "TW Private Placement Units") at the Subscription Price in a private offering to be closed contemporaneously with the Rights Offering (the "TW Unit Private Placement"). The TW Private Placement Units are not included in the Units that the Company is offering in the Rights Offering. The Rights allocated to Time Warner in the Rights Offering and the TW Private Placement Units represent approximately 70% of all Units that will be issued by the Company, which Time Warner is obligated to purchase under the Purchase Agreement.

        In total, the Company is offering 4,000,000 Units in the Rights Offering and TW Unit Private Placement, consisting of $400.0 million aggregate original principal amount of New Notes and Unit Warrants to purchase a total of 84,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

        Under the Purchase Agreement, Time Warner will also commit to purchase at the Subscription Price in a separate private offering to be closed contemporaneously with the Rights Offering (the "Backstop Private Placement") any and all remaining Units that are not purchased through the exercise of Rights in the Rights Offering. We refer to this commitment as the "Backstop Purchase Commitment." The exact amount of Units to be purchased by Time Warner pursuant to the Backstop Purchase Commitment (the "Backstop Units") will vary depending upon the number of Units purchased through the exercise of Rights in the Rights Offering by the Eligible Securityholders (other than Time Warner). If the Eligible Securityholders (other than Time Warner) do not purchase any Units in the Rights Offering, Time Warner will purchase all of the Units offered by the Company in the Rights Offering as well as the TW Private Placement Units, following which its economic ownership interest in the Company's Class A Common Stock would be approximately 78.7% on a fully diluted basis.

        On February 28, 2014, the Company also entered into a term loan credit agreement (the "Time Warner Term Loan Agreement") with Time Warner. The Time Warner Term Loan Agreement provides that Time Warner will make a term loan (the "Time Warner Term Loan") to the Company as follows: (x) in the event of the closing of the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement prior to May 29, 2014 (the "Bridge Date"), concurrently with that closing, Time Warner will make a term loan to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million that matures on December 1, 2017, or (y) if the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement are not closed prior to the Bridge Date, on the Bridge Date, Time Warner will make a term loan to the Company in the aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of (i) the U.S. dollar equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the Company's 11.625% Rate Notes due 2016 (the "2016 Fixed Rate Notes") outstanding, plus the early redemption premium thereon payable to the holders thereof upon discharge of the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes, in each case, as of the business day immediately prior to the Bridge Date using the Euro/U.S. Dollar spot exchange rate published in the Wall Street Journal (the "Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan") plus (ii) $30.0 million that matures on September 8, 2014 (the "Initial Term Loan Maturity Date"). In the event that the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement are closed after the Bridge Date but on or before the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the proceeds from the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement will be used to repay the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan, and the maturity date of the remaining amount of the Time Warner Term Loan will be extended to December 1, 2017. If the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement have not been closed on or before the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to Time Warner warrants to purchase 84,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof, the "Term Loan Warrants") and the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date will be extended to December 1, 2017. The Term Loan Warrants will be exercisable, subject to the approval by the shareholders of the Company of this Proposal 2, from the second anniversary of the issue date until the fourth anniversary of the issue date, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to the limited right of Time Warner to exercise the Term Loan Warrants earlier in order to maintain the TW Ownership Threshold (as defined below). The Term Loan Warrants represent the number of Unit Warrants Time Warner would have purchased at the closing of the Rights


Offering, Backstop Private Placement (assuming that no other Eligible Securityholders exercised Rights in the Rights Offering) and TW Unit Private Placement. Upon such extension of the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and issuance of the Term Loan Warrants, Time Warner's obligations under the Purchase Agreement will be terminated.

        In addition, under the Framework Agreement, Time Warner agreed to extend to the Company a revolving credit facility that matures on December 1, 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million (the "Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility") at the earlier of (a) the closing of the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement or (b) the funding of the Time Warner Term Loan.

        The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the exercise of Rights in the Rights Offering, the purchase of Units in the TW Unit Private Placement and in the Backstop Private Placement, if applicable, together with the proceeds from the Time Warner Term Loan, to redeem and repay in full the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes, including the early redemption premium and accrued interest thereon. Alternatively, if the Company is unable to close the Rights Offering prior to the Bridge Date, then the Company intends to redeem and repay in full all outstanding 2016 Fixed Rate Notes, including the early redemption premium and accrued interest thereon, with the proceeds from the Time Warner Term Loan.

        In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Time Warner, subject to the terms of the Framework Agreement and of an escrow agreement, a warrant to purchase 30,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof, the "TW Initial Warrant") exercisable, subject to the approval by the shareholders of the Company of this Proposal 2, from the second anniversary of the issue date until the fourth anniversary of the issue date, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to the limited right of Time Warner to exercise the TW Initial Warrant earlier in order to maintain the TW Ownership Threshold (as defined below).

        The TW Initial Warrant and all Unit Warrants issued to Time Warner pursuant to the Rights Offering, the TW Unit Private Placement and the Backstop Private Placement, if applicable, or, in the event the Rights Offering is not closed prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the Term Loan Warrants issued pursuant to the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement may be exercised by Time Warner prior to the second anniversary of their issue date at such time and in such amounts as would allow Time Warner to own up to 49.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (including any shares attributed to Time Warner as part of a group under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (the "TW Ownership Threshold")).

        The Rights Offering and the issuance to Time Warner of the TW Initial Warrant and all Unit Warrants pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement and the TW Unit Private Placement or, if applicable, the Term Loan Warrants pursuant to the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement, as described in this Proposal 2, are subject to the approval by the Company's shareholders under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(d), as further described below.

Background and Reasons for the Rights Offering

        Our attempts to increase television advertising prices in 2013 were met with significant resistance from certain advertisers and agencies in the Czech Republic. This resulted in a significant decline in revenues for 2013 compared to 2012. Looking forward, we expect the impact of the challenging environment in the Czech Republic to continue as we endeavor to attract back advertising clients while continuing to seek improvements in pricing compared to 2012. While we expect a significant improvement in Czech advertising revenues in 2014, we do not expect advertising revenues in the Czech Republic to reach 2012 levels in 2014. We anticipate a similar trend in our consolidated results for 2014, and expect to build upon them in 2015. Our financial situation in 2013 was also impacted by a


further decline in advertising revenues in the Slovak Republic due to the reaction to our pricing initiatives in the Czech Republic from clients who also advertise in the Slovak Republic. Furthermore, carriage fee negotiations in the Czech Republic during 2013 did not advance to the extent that we had expected. As a result, we continue to take actions to conserve cash, including targeted reductions to our operating cost base through cost optimization programs and restructuring efforts, the deferral of programming commitments and capital expenditures and the deferral or cancellation of development projects. We have also delayed the settlement of payment obligations with a number of key suppliers, including payments due under contracts for acquired programming, which has resulted in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities increasing to $296.4 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $255.7 million at December 31, 2012 and $240.0 million at December 31, 2011. Despite the expectation of significantly improved revenue and OIBDA (as defined below) performance in 2014, our cash interest costs and need to improve our payables position will result in increased operating cash outflows during 2014 compared to 2013. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will continue to be insufficient to cover operating expenses and interest payments and we will need other capital resources this year to fund our operations, our debt service and other obligations as they become due, including the settlement of such deferred payment obligations.

        We have evaluated options to improve our liquidity in light of our results for 2013, our outlook for 2014 and our plan to improve our payables position. In this respect, following the end of the third quarter of 2013 we began discussions with Time Warner regarding a potential capital transaction, including the potential issuance of debt, to address our liquidity position. Following the publication of our third quarter earnings, we held investor meetings with certain of our debt and equity investors. We subsequently explored the availability of other financing options, including equity financing, a combination of debt and equity financing and asset sales. Based on information received during our investor meetings and the exploration of our financing alternatives, we concluded that any financing involving equity was not viable without the upfront significant committed participation of Time Warner, which Time Warner did not provide. In addition, we received proposals from several potential purchasers regarding the acquisition of certain assets. The proposals we received, however, were from opportunistic purchasers who expected to purchase such assets at a substantial discount to the value of these businesses or such offers came with significant timing or execution risk.

        On October 16, 2013, our Board of Directors established a special committee (the "Special Committee"), and charged the Special Committee with the authority to evaluate a potential financing transaction with Time Warner, as well as other financing alternatives available to the Company, to engage advisors, to negotiate directly or to monitor negotiations in connection with such potential financing transaction with Time Warner or other financing alternatives, and to make a recommendation to the disinterested directors with respect to a transaction. Over the course of the process, the Special Committee met on a number of occasions. In February 2014, at the conclusion of its review of the financing options available to the Company, which included discussions and negotiations with Time Warner regarding its participation in a potential capital transaction, including the issuance of debt, the Special Committee recommended to the disinterested directors that the Company undertake the financing transactions described in the prospectus relating to the Rights Offering, including the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement, the TW Unit Private Placement, the Time Warner Term Loan and Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility. After consideration of these discussions and inquiries and in light of the continued severe pressure on our liquidity during the latter part of 2013 and our expectation that this will continue through 2014, our disinterested directors determined that the Rights Offering together with the other financing transactions with the participation of Time Warner was in the best interests of the Company and we entered into the Framework Agreement pursuant to which we and Time Warner committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to undertake and facilitate the transactions described herein, including the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement. The principal purpose of these financing transactions is to enhance our overall liquidity and cash flow by refinancing the remaining €273.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes, which are cash pay indebtedness, with non-cash pay indebtedness including the New Notes (including the New Notes issuable in connection with the TW Unit Private Placement and the Backstop Private Placement), the Time Warner Term Loan and the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility.


        In evaluating a potential financial transaction with Time Warner, the disinterested directors also took into account various factors, including:

    the Company's needs for additional capital, liquidity and financial flexibility;

    analysis from the Company's financial advisor;

    alternatives available for raising capital on terms acceptable to the Company;

    contractual rights previously granted to Time Warner in respect of equity financings and asset dispositions and alternative transactions acceptable to Time Warner; and

    current economic and financial market conditions.

        In conjunction with its review of these factors, the disinterested directors also reviewed the Company's history and prospects, including the Company's financial results, the Company's expected future earnings, the outlook in the Company's markets, and the Company's current financial condition.

        We are seeking to raise up to $341.8 million in new indebtedness through the Rights Offering, an additional $58.2 million in new indebtedness through the TW Unit Private Placement and $30.0 million in new indebtedness through the Time Warner Term Loan to enable us to refinance the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes in the manner described in this Proposal 2 and for general corporate purposes. These transactions will significantly reduce the amount of cash interest to be paid in the coming years while providing sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and relieve pressure on our working capital position. Based on our current projections, if closed, these transactions will position the Company to be free cash flow positive beginning in 2015, and we expect to use this positive free cash flow to repay the amounts drawn under the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility such that we may be able to repay the entire balance drawn at or prior to its maturity on December 1, 2017.

        If the Rights Offering (including the Backstop Private Placement), TW Unit Private Placement and other financing transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement are not closed, we will need other external sources of capital to continue our operations, including through other debt or equity financing transactions or asset sales, which may not be available or may not be available on acceptable terms. If these actions are not successful, and we are unable to continue to delay payments to some of our major suppliers, we will not have sufficient liquidity to continue to fund our operations in the middle of 2014.

NASDAQ Shareholder Approval Requirement

        We are seeking shareholder approval of (i) the Rights Offering and (ii) the issuance to Time Warner of the TW Initial Warrant and all Unit Warrants pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement, and the TW Unit Private Placement or, if applicable, the Term Loan Warrants, in accordance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(d).

        NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(d) requires shareholder approval of the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock, other than in a public offering.

        In the Rights Offering, Eligible Securityholders may only purchase whole Units, subject to the minimum subscription amount. As a result, if shareholders hold fewer than 62.0102 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the Rights Offering record date, then such shareholders will not be able to satisfy the minimum subscription amount and will not be able to participate in the Rights Offering. Consequently, the Rights Offering is not deemed a public offering for purposes of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(d) and therefore requires shareholder approval pursuant to that rule.


        The Company has agreed to issue to Time Warner (a) the TW Initial Warrant to purchase 30,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided therein), and (b) (i) up to 84,000,000 Unit Warrants, with each Unit Warrant entitling it to purchase one (1) share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided therein) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share pursuant to Units Time Warner acquires in the Rights Offering, TW Unit Private Placement and the Backstop Private Placement, if applicable, or (ii) alternatively, if the Rights Offering, TW Unit Private Placement and Backstop Private Placement are not closed prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, 84,000,000 Term Loan Warrants to purchase one (1) share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided therein) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share pursuant to the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement (the warrants described in clauses (a) and (b) together, the "Warrants"). Because the Company has agreed to issue to Time Warner an amount of Warrants that could be convertible into more than 20% of our Class A Common Stock outstanding before the issuance at a price that is lower than the book value of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (which is greater than the market value), we are seeking shareholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(d).

Purchase Agreement

        Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Time Warner agreed to enter into the Purchase Agreement with the Company, subject to the conditions summarized below, prior to the

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Time Warner will commit to exercise in full its subscription privilege at the Subscription Price in respect of all of the Rights allocated to Time Warner in the Rights Offering in respect of its shares of Class A Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company will agree to issue to Time Warner, and Time Warner will agree to purchase, 581,533 TW Private Placement Units at the Subscription Price in the TW Unit Private Placement.

Time Warner Term Loan Agreement

        On February 28, 2014, the Company and Time Warner entered into the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement. The Time Warner Term Loan Agreement provides that Time Warner will make the Time Warner Term Loan to us as follows: (x) in the event of the closing of the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement and the TW Unit Private Placement prior to the Bridge Date, concurrently with those closings, Time Warner will make the Time Warner Term Loan to us in the aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million that matures on December 1, 2017, or (y) if the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement and the TW Unit Private Placement are not closed prior to the Bridge Date, on the Bridge Date, Time Warner will make the Time Warner Term Loan to us in the aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of (i) the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan plus (ii) $30.0 million that matures on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that, if the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement and the TW Unit Private Placement are closed after the Bridge Date but prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, we will apply the proceeds therefrom to repay the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan and any accrued interest thereon, with any accrued interest thereon in excess of such proceeds to be repaid by us from the proceeds of the Time Warner Term Loan or the Time


Warner Revolving Credit Facility, and the maturity date of the remaining $30.0 million of the Time Warner Term Loan will be extended to December 1, 2017; provided, further, if the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan together with accrued interest thereon has not been prepaid on or prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date in the manner set forth above, we shall issue and deliver to Time Warner the Term Loan Warrants and upon such issuance, the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date will be extended to December 1, 2017.

        Amounts outstanding under the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears. The Company may pay all accrued interest for an interest period fully in cash or by adding such amount to the principal amount of the Time Warner Term Loan (a "Term Loan PIK Election"). If we do not make an election in the manner set forth in the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement, a Term Loan PIK Election will be deemed to have been made for the entire principal amount of the outstanding Time Warner Term Loan with respect to such interest payment date.

        The Time Warner Term Loan Agreement contains restrictive covenants usual and customary for facilities of its type, which include, with specified exceptions, limitations on our ability to engage in certain business activities, incur indebtedness, incur guarantees, have liens, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into affiliate transactions, consolidate, merge or effect a corporate reconstruction, make certain investments, acquisitions and loans, conduct certain asset sales and amend constitutional documents and certain debt documents in a manner adverse to the lenders in any material respect. We are required to comply with certain of these covenants from the date hereof, while we are not required to comply with others until the Time Warner Term Loan is made. Beginning with the first full accounting quarter occurring after the Time Warner Term Loan is made, we will be required to satisfy specified financial covenants, such as maintaining a cashflow cover ratio of no less than 0.30 to 1.00, an interest cover ratio of no less than 0.09 to 1.00 and a consolidated total leverage ratio of no more than 110.00 to 1.00. The cashflow cover ratio and the interest cover ratio will be subject to step-ups at certain dates in the future, and the consolidated total leverage ratio will be subject to step-downs at certain dates in the future.

        Central European Media Enterprises N.V. ("CME NV") and CME Media Enterprises B.V. ("CME BV") will be guarantors of borrowings under the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement originally dated as of July 21, 2006 (as amended and restated from time to time and to be amended and restated on the issue date for the New Notes, the "CME Intercreditor Agreement"), the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement will have a lien on all of CME NV's and CME BV's capital stock.

        The Time Warner Term Loan Agreement will not require any scheduled principal payments prior to the maturity date. The Time Warner Term Loan Agreement may not be prepaid prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date unless such prepayment is made solely with the proceeds of the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement and the TW Unit Private Placement. After the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, to the extent the New Notes are outstanding, the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, as long as the New Notes are concurrently repaid and discharged. After the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part if the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan has not been repaid with the proceeds of the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement prior to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Time Warner Term Loan is required to be repaid pro rata with other indebtedness of the Company following certain asset dispositions. In addition, in the event that the 2017 Fixed Rate Notes are prepaid in full or repaid in full, the Time Warner Term Loan will become immediately due and payable.

        In the event of an "event of default" under the indenture governing the New Notes, the indenture governing the 2017 Fixed Rate Notes and the indenture governing the 2015 Convertible Notes, an


event of default will occur under the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement. In addition, in the event of a specified "change in control", an event of default will occur under the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement.

        We will be obligated to pay to Time Warner a commitment fee of 1.25% of the entire Time Warner Term Loan and, if we drawdown the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan, a funding fee of 1.25% of the total amount of the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan, a portion of which funding fee may be refunded to us depending on when we repay the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan.

Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility

        Under the Framework Agreement, Time Warner also agreed to extend to us the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million at the earlier of (a) the closing of the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement and the TW Unit Private Placement or (b) the funding of the Time Warner Term Loan. Borrowings under the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes.

        On the closing date of the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility, amounts outstanding under the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate based on, at the Company's option, the alternative base rate plus 13% or the adjusted LIBO rate plus 14%. The alternative base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the published corporate base rate of interest as chosen by the administrative agent from time to time in its sole discretion, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the sum of (a) the one month adjusted LIBO rate plus (b) 1.00%. With respect to all of the outstanding principal amount of the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility, the Company may pay all accrued interest for an interest period fully in cash or by adding such amount to the principal amount of the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility (a "Revolver PIK Election"). If we do not make an election in the manner set forth in the Time Warner Term Loan Agreement, a Revolver PIK Election will be deemed to have been made for the entire principal amount of the outstanding Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility with respect to such interest payment date. Additionally, the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will contain a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount under the facility of 0.50% per annum.

        Ongoing extensions of credit under the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to customary conditions. The Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will contain restrictive covenants usual and customary for facilities of its type, which include, with specified exceptions, limitations on our ability to engage in certain business activities, incur indebtedness, incur guarantees, have liens, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into affiliate transactions, consolidate, merge or effect a corporate reconstruction, make certain investments, acquisitions and loans, conduct certain asset sales and amend constitutional documents and certain debt documents in a manner adverse to the lenders in any material respect. The Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will also require us to satisfy specified financial covenants, such as maintaining a cashflow cover ratio of no less than 0.30 to 1.00, an interest cover ratio of no less than 0.09 to 1.00 and a consolidated total leverage ratio of no more than 110.00 to 1.00. The cashflow cover ratio and the interest cover ratio will be subject to step-ups at certain dates in the future, and the consolidated total leverage ratio will be subject to step-downs at certain dates in the future.

        CME NV and CME BV will be guarantors of borrowings under the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility. Subject to the CME Intercreditor Agreement, the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will have a lien on all of CME NV's and CME BV's capital stock.

        The Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will not require any scheduled principal payments prior to the maturity date. In the event of an "event of default" under the indenture governing the New Notes, the indenture governing the 2017 Fixed Rate Notes Indenture and the indenturing governing the 2015 Convertible Notes, an event of default will occur under Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility. In


addition, in the event of a specified "change in control", an event of default will occur under the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility.

        The Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will mature on December 1, 2017. In the event that either the Time Warner Term Loan or the New Notes are prepaid in full or repaid in full, the commitments under the Time Warner Revolving Credit Facility will automatically terminate and all loans outstanding will become immediately due and payable at such time.

Terms of the Warrants

        The TW Initial Warrant will be issued to Time Warner in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement. The warrants acquired by TW BV pursuant to the Purchase Agreement ("Private Placement Warrants") will be issued to TW BV in connection with the purchase of Units in the TW Private Placement and the Backstop Private Placement, if applicable. The Term Loan Warrants will be issued in the event the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement are not completed prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date. A summary of the terms of the Warrants is set forth below.

        The TW Initial Warrant will be exercisable for 30,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof). The Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable for up to 84,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof), in the event that no other Eligible Securityholder (other than Time Warner) subscribes for Units. If the Rights Offering, Backstop Private Placement and TW Unit Private Placement and are not completed prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the Term Loan Warrants will be issued and exercisable for 84,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

        Each of the TW Initial Warrant, the Private Placement Warrants and the Unit Warrants or, if applicable, the Term Loan Warrants, will be exercisable for $1.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments described below. The Warrants are non-redeemable.

        The Warrants may be exercised at any time starting on the second anniversary of the applicable date of issuance until the fourth anniversary after such date of issuance, subject to the limited right of Time Warner to exercise the Warrants earlier in order to maintain the TW Ownership Threshold.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Time Warner shall not have any right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants until the date that is 61 days after the earlier of: (a) the date on which the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock owned by Time Warner, when aggregated with any outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by any group (as this term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) that includes Time Warner and any of its affiliates, would not result in the holder of such Warrant being a beneficial owner (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of more than 49.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and (b) the date on which such holder's beneficial ownership would not give to any person or entity any right of redemption, repurchase or acceleration under any indenture or other document governing any of the Company's indebtedness that is outstanding as of the date of issuance of the applicable Warrant. The Warrants will be adjusted as necessary to protect holders from the dilutive effects of (a) subdivisions, reclassifications, combinations and similar transactions, (b) certain repurchases of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer, or other offer available to substantially all holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock, at a price above the market price for the Company's shares of Class A Common stock, and (c) certain business combinations. Unless a distribution is made in connection with a business combination, if there is a distribution to the holders of Class A Common Stock (other than pursuant to a subdivision, reclassification, combination and similar transaction), upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder of the Warrant will receive the amount of such distribution the holder would have on the date of exercise as if


the holder had been a record holder of Class A Common Stock on the date of such distribution, in addition to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock receivable upon exercise.

        Time Warner will not have additional voting rights or other rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Warrants may be exercised to purchase unless and until (and then only to the extent) the Warrants have been exercised.

Use of Proceeds

        The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the exercise of Rights in the Rights Offering, the purchase of Units in the TW Unit Private Placement and in the Backstop Private Placement, if applicable, together with the proceeds from the Time Warner Term Loan, if any, to redeem and repay in full the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes, including the early redemption premium and accrued interest thereon. Alternatively, if the Company is unable to close the Rights Offering prior to the Bridge Date, the Company intends to redeem and repay in full all outstanding 2016 Fixed Rate Notes, including the early redemption premium of approximately €15.9 million (approximately $21.9 million, at December 31, 2013 exchange rates) and accrued interest thereon, with the proceeds from the Time Warner Term Loan. As of the date hereof, there was approximately €273.0 million (approximately $376.5 million at December 31, 2013 exchange rates) aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes outstanding.

        If the Company redeems the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes with the proceeds from the Time Warner Term Loan, then the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the exercise of Rights in the Rights Offering, the Backstop Private Placement and the TW Unit Private Placement, if any, to repay in full the outstanding amounts of principal and interest under the Refinancing Portion of the Term Loan, as well as related fees and expenses.

Consequences if Shareholder Approval is Not Obtained

        If shareholder approval is not obtained for this Proposal 2, the Company will not be able to complete the Rights Offering or the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the TW Initial Warrant, the Unit Warrants or, if applicable, the Term Loan Warrants in excess of 19.9% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the issue date thereof, because doing so would not be in compliance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, and such non-compliance could result in the delisting of the Company's shares of Class A Common Stock from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. In addition, shareholder approval is one of the conditions to closing under both the Framework Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

        As a result, the Company would need other external sources of capital to continue its operations, including through other debt or equity financing transactions or asset sales, which may not be available or may not be available on acceptable terms.

        Even if shareholder approval of the issuance of the Warrants is obtained, there is no assurance that such issuance as contemplated by this Proposal 2 will actually take place. As described above, both the Framework Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contain certain closing conditions which the respective parties must meet before the parties are obligated to consummate the closing of the transactions contemplated by the agreements. There can be no assurance that the parties will meet all of these closing conditions or that the parties will otherwise be able to consummate the closing.

Preemptive Rights

        Time Warner is a beneficial owner of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to an amended Investor Rights Agreement by and among Time Warner, RSL Savannah LLC, Ronald S. Lauder, RSL Investments LLC, RSL


Investments Corporation and the Company, the Company has granted Time Warner, and any of its permitted transferees, certain preemptive rights with respect to future issuances of the Company's equity securities (subject to certain exclusions).

No Appraisal Rights

        Pursuant to Bermuda law, holders of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to this Proposal 2.

Vote Required; Recommendation

        The approval of the issuance of the Rights and the Warrants described in this Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the meeting, provided that a quorum is present.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum, but are not counted as votes cast.

        Time Warner, which holds 49.6% of the voting power of the Company's shares as of the record date for the Meeting, has agreed to vote in favor of this Proposal 2.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND THE ISSUANCEBOARD OF WARRANTS TO PURCHASE CLASSDIRECTORS MATTERS

We abide by the corporate governance principles outlined below to ensure that the Board of Directors is independent from management, that the Board of Directors adequately performs its function as the overseer of management and that the interests of the Board of Directors and management are aligned with those of shareholders.

On an annual basis, directors and executive officers complete questionnaires that are used to establish the independence of independent directors as well as of the members of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, to confirm the qualifications of the members of our Audit Committee and to disclose any transaction with us or our subsidiaries in which a director or executive officer (or any member of his or her immediate family) has a direct or indirect material interest.

Director Independence

The NASDAQ Marketplace Rules require that a majority of the directors be “independent directors”.  For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director (and in some cases, members of a director’s immediate family) has no material relationship with us or our subsidiaries and that the director is free of any other relationship, whether with us or otherwise, that would interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment. The Board has affirmatively determined that seven of our 11 directors have no material direct or indirect relationship with us and qualify as independent directors pursuant to the corporate governance standards of NASDAQ as well as an evaluation of factors specific to each director. The independent directors are John Billock, Charles Frank, Alfred Langer, Bruce Maggin, Parm Sandhu, Duco Sickinghe and Kelli Turner.

In the course of the determination by the Board regarding the independence of each director, it considered the beneficial ownership of such director or his or her affiliates in the Company as well as any transactions or arrangements that each director has with us.

Independent Director Meetings

Our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions. The non-executive Chairman presides over the meetings of the independent directors. During 2013, the independent directors held six such meetings.

Codes of Conduct

In 2011, the Board of Directors adopted new codes of conduct applicable to employees and directors. These policies reinforce the importance of integrity and ethical conduct in our business, reflect the more robust policy framework that now exists within the Company and clarify the procedures for handling whistleblower complaints and other concerns. The Standards of Business Conduct applies to the Company’s employees and sets forth policies pertaining to employee conduct in the workplace, including the accuracy of books, records and financial statements, insider trading, electronic communications and information security,  confidentiality, conflicts of interest, anti-bribery and competition laws. The Standards of Business Conduct also includes information on how employees may report whistleblower complaints or raise concerns regarding questionable conduct or policy violations and provides for the anonymous, confidential submission by employees or others of any complaints or concerns about us or our accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. The Standards of Business Conduct prohibits retaliation against employees who avail themselves of the policy. Failure to observe the terms of the Standards of Business Conduct can result in disciplinary action (including termination of employment).

The Company also has a Code of Conduct for Non-Employee Directors, which assists the Company’s non-employee directors in fulfilling their fiduciary and other duties to the Company. In addition to affirming the directors’ obligations to act ethically and honestly, the code also addresses conflicts of interest, compliance with applicable laws and confidentiality.

Both the Standards of Business Conduct and the Code of Conduct for Non-Employee Directors are available on our website at www.cme.net. They are also available in print to any shareholder upon request.

Director Nominating Process

The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee will consider candidates for membership on the Board of Directors who are recommended by qualifying shareholders. Under our Bye-laws and the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee charter, a qualifying shareholder is any shareholder who has provided evidence that he has been the beneficial owner of at least 5% of any class of our outstanding stock for at least one year.

The Committee does not apply specific weights to particular criteria, nor does it have a separate policy with regard to the consideration of diversity. These criteria apply to all nominees, whether recommended by a shareholder, another director, management or otherwise. Recommendations must be in writing and addressed to the Chairman of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee in care of the Company Secretary, CME Media Services Limited, Křiženeckého náměstí 1078/5, 152 00 Prague 5, Czech Republic. A COMMON STOCK TO TIME WARNER, IN EACH CASE AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL 2.copy of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee charter is available on our website at www.cme.net

. It is also available in print to any shareholder on request.

Information submitted to the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee must include the name, address and relationship to the Company of the nominee and the proposing shareholder, and such information with respect to the nominee as would be required under the rules and regulations of the SEC to be included in our proxy statement if such proposed nominee were to be included therein. The shareholder shall include a statement to the effect that the proposed nominee has no direct or indirect business conflict of interest with us and otherwise meets our published criteria for consideration as a nominee for director.  To be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for an Annual General Meeting, the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee charter stipulates that recommendations must be received by us at least 120 calendar days prior to the anniversary date of our proxy statement for the prior year’s Annual General Meeting and include all required information to be considered. In the case of the 2015 Annual General Meeting, this deadline is January 8, 2015.

Shareholder Communications and Proposals

The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee charter provides a process by which shareholders may communicate with the Company or the Board of Directors. Shareholders may submit such communications in writing to the Chairman of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee in the care of the Company Secretary, CME Media Services Limited, Křiženeckého náměstí 1078/5, 152 00 Prague 5, Czech Republic. The Company Secretary shall determine, in his discretion, considering the identity of the submitting shareholder and the materiality and appropriateness of the communication, whether,

and to whom within the Company, to forward the communication.  The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee charter stipulates that proposals for inclusion in our Annual General Meeting proxy statement must be in writing and received at least 120 days prior to the anniversary date of our proxy statement for the prior year’s annual general meeting in order for the Company to consider including such proposal in its proxy statement. In the case of the 2015 Annual General Meeting, this deadline is January 8, 2015. In addition, the shareholder shall include the form of proposal to be included in the Company’s proxy statement and a brief description as to why the passing of the proposal is beneficial to the Company.


Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors currently consists of eleven members. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Board of Directors met, or acted by unanimous consent, on 13 occasions.  All incumbent members of the Board of Directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board of Directors on which they served during the periods that they served.

We are incorporated in Bermuda and have held our annual general meetings in Bermuda since incorporation.  Senior members of management have been present by teleconference at each annual general meeting to meet shareholders and answer any questions.  Historically, shareholders have not attended annual general meetings in person, which we attribute to our policy of regular and detailed communication with our shareholders and investors through regular meetings with management, quarterly earnings calls, investor conferences and other investor relations activities. Last year no non-employee directors attended the annual general meeting.  In view of the fact that shareholders have not historically attended annual general meetings, we have not adopted a specific policy regarding the attendance of directors at the annual general meeting.  Attendance is left to the discretion of individual directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Since April 2014, Mr. John Billock has served as non-executive Chairman. The Chairman is appointed annually following the annual general meeting by at least a majority vote of the remaining directors. The role of the Chairman, is to preside over meetings of the Board as well as meetings of the independent directors. The Chairman also provides advice to management.  Since September 2013, the Company has had two co-Chief Executive Officers, Michael Del Nin and Christoph Mainusch, who are not members of the Board.  Mr. Del Nin oversees corporate matters and Mr. Mainusch focuses primarily on operations. We believe that this is the most appropriate Board structure for the Company. Our Chairman Mr. Billock, with his extensive prior media and executive experience, leads the Board in providing broad oversight of our overall strategy and the development of the Company, and Mr. Del Nin and Mr. Mainusch, our co-CEOs, utilizing their extensive management and operational experience in overseeing the Company’s day-to-day operations, are dedicated to achieving the business objectives of the Company in terms of operating and financial performance.
The Company has created a robust framework to effectively identify, assess, and manage risk. Senior management has primary responsibility for the daily management of risks, while the Board provides regular oversight, both as a whole and through its committees. The Audit Committee is responsible for an annual review of a risk register prepared by senior management. The Company’s risk register identifies and evaluates the key strategic, operating, financial and compliance risks that the Company faces and proposes ways in which to effectively manage such risks in the short- and long-term. In addition, our co-CEOs consult regularly with directors regarding strategic and operational risks. Generally, the Board holds four regularly scheduled meetings per year at which Directors receive a quarterly presentation regarding the business as well as relevant strategies, challenges, risks and opportunities for the Company. Senior management is in attendance at quarterly Board meetings and is available for discussions with the Board regarding risk management and any other concerns. Finally, through the authority delegated by the Board, the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee, Compensation Committee and Audit Committee are tasked with oversight of governance, related party, compensation and treasury or finance risks, respectively. Committees report to the full Board quarterly.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Philosophy and Objectives of Compensation Programs

General Philosophy

We believe the total compensation of our executive officers should support the following objectives:

·Attract and retain executives with the experience and expertise to drive us to achieve our objectives.  This means that we provide significant compensation opportunities to executives who are able to deliver competitive results.

·Create a mix of short-term and long-term compensation to achieve a balance between current income and long-term incentive opportunities that promote attention to both annual and multi-year business objectives without encouraging unnecessary or excessive risk-taking.  The mix between short-term and long-term is also designed to reflect the roles and responsibilities of individual employees and to have a higher percentage of the total potential compensation of senior executives tied to variable (versus fixed) pay than other employees.

·Reward executives for creating shareholder value.  This means that our long-term incentive programs are equity-based and are intended to represent a significant percentage of the total compensation that senior executives may earn.

·Create a strong culture that rewards results.  This means that incentive plans reward the achievement of specific financial and operating performance goals of the Company and individual performance through the use of specific personal goals and objectives.

·Ensure compensation is appropriate in light of our profile, strategy and anticipated performance.  This means that the Compensation Committee places significant emphasis on our specific strategy and performance in the ultimate determination of compensation decisions.

Compensation Design and Elements of Compensation

Our executive compensation program, covering Named Executive Officers and other members of senior management, consists of the components set out below.  In 2013, our Named Executive Officers were the co-Chief Executive Officers, the acting Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel as well as the former President and CEO (whose service as President and CEO terminated on August 21, 2013), the former Chief Financial Officer (whose service terminated on October 29, 2013) and the former EVP - Strategic Planning and Operations (whose service terminated on November 15, 2013).

Base Salary

Salary levels for each of our Named Executive Officers are set in their employment agreements, which are approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may review these salary levels each year to determine whether any adjustment is appropriate. Key considerations in establishing base salary levels and any increases include the overall level of responsibility of a given Named Executive Officer; the importance of the role; the experience, expertise and specific performance of the individual; and the general financial performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee did not adjust the base salary of any Eligible Named Executive Officers (as defined below) in 2013 and has generally maintained the base salaries of Eligible Named Executive Officers (as defined below) at the same level over the last several years. In 2013, the Company did not use peer companies for purposes of setting or benchmarking executive compensation. The Compensation Committee considers the base salary levels for each of the Company’s Named Executive Officers to be consistent with the considerations described here.
For our Named Executive Officers, base salaries for 2013 accounted for 74% of their total direct compensation. (Total direct compensation consists of base salary, bonus, non-equity incentive plan awards and annual equity grant value and excludes severance payments.) In 2013, our Named Executive Officers, including the co-Chief Executive Officers, earned 10% of their total direct compensation from non-equity incentive plan awards or discretionary bonuses in 2013. As described below under “2013 CEO and Senior Management Non-equity Incentive Plan Targets and Awards”, no Eligible Named Executive Officers (as defined below) earned a non-incentive equity plan award in 2013.

Annual Incentive Plans

In 2013, approximately 78 employees across the entire Company were eligible to earn annual incentives through incentive plan guidelines described below. Award opportunities vary by position and level in the organization.

Pursuant to the management compensation policy guidelines originally adopted by the Compensation Committee in 2011 (as amended, the “Management Compensation Policy Guidelines”), Named Executive Officers are eligible to earn annual incentives. Because the co-Chief Executive Officers were appointed on September 15, 2013, they were not eligible to earn incentives pursuant to any established incentive plan guidelines for annual incentives in 2013. The acting CFO and the General Counsel and, until their separations from the Company, the former President and CEO, the former Chief Financial Officer and the former EVP - Strategic Planning and Operations (collectively, the “Eligible Named Executive Officers”) were entitled to earn annual incentives through such plans for 2013. Targets for non-equity incentive opportunities for the Eligible Named Executive Officers generally range from 50% to 100% of base salary. The targets for non-equity incentive plan awards for the Eligible Named Executive Officers vary but are principally for the achievement of specific financial or operating performance goals designed to support the achievement of key objectives of the Company in the current challenging economic environment in countries in which it has been operating.

The Management Compensation Policy Guidelines provide that annual non-equity incentive plan award targets for the higher levels of management will consist of quantitative targets based on the Company’s financial performance goals and individual performance targets, including objectives related to operating performance and qualitative targets. Specific quantitative targets are intended to correlate more closely with the role or responsibilities of the relevant member of management. Targets for the former President and CEO were set by the Compensation Committee, and for the remaining Eligible Named Executive Officers, targets were set by the former President and CEO and recommended to the Compensation Committee for approval. The split between the quantitative financial targets and individual performance targets also varies based on role and level of seniority.

In 2013, Eligible Named Executive Officers were entitled to earn 50% of non-equity incentive plan awards for the achievement of quantitative financial targets based on the Company’s performance and 50% for the achievement of targets tied to individual performance. This approach is intended to hold Eligible Named Executive Officers accountable for both overall business and individual areas of responsibility in respect of operating performance or strategic goals of the Company. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee established that the Company would need to achieve a minimum actual OIBDA1 of US$ 100.0 million (the “OIBDA Threshold”) in order for Eligible Named Executive Officers and other members of management to be entitled to earn non-equity incentive plan awards in 2013.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Program

Each year the Compensation Committee reviews and has approved annual grants of equity incentive awards to a group of senior employees. Annual grant levels are determined based on the individual’s position in the organization and include a number of other factors, including the role the individual plays in setting and achieving long-term company goals, the overall dilution represented by equity grants and the cost of such grants as reflected in our financial statements. Long-term incentives, assuming stable or improving general economic conditions, are the most effective way to link the interests of management and shareholders, and to incentivize management to strive for continued shareholder value creation.  Therefore, equity incentives are an important element of the Company’s compensation programs.

1OIBDA, which includes program rights amortization costs, is determined as operating income/(loss) before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of assets. For a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measurements in accordance with GAAP, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 accompanying this proxy statement.

2013 CEO and Senior Management Non-equity Incentive Plan Targets and Awards

Co-CEO Non-equity Incentive Plan Award Targets

Because the co-Chief Executive Officers were appointed on September 15, 2013, they were not eligible to earn incentives pursuant to any established annual incentive plan guidelines for 2013. Pursuant to his employment agreement, each of the co-CEOs was entitled to earn a one-time non-equity incentive plan award of US$ 200,000 for the achievement of qualitative targets established by the Compensation Committee following their appointment, including developing the 2014 budget and a strategic plan for the Company, effectively communicating the strategic direction of the Company to investors, analysts and other constituencies, developing and initiating the execution of a financing plan for the Company, completing a restructuring plan to deliver annualized savings of US$ 30.0 million and initiating a process to divest of non-core assets.

Non-equity Incentive Plan Award Targets for Eligible Named Executive Officers

Each Eligible Named Executive Officer had a target award amount for non-equity incentive plan compensation that is based on a percentage of base salary. The target for each of the former President and CEO, the former Chief Financial Officer, the former EVP - Strategic Planning and Operations and the General Counsel was based on 100% of base salary and for the acting CFO was based on 50% of base salary.

For purposes of determining the amount of non-equity incentive plan compensation that can be earned, each Eligible Named Executive Officer had a quantitative financial targets (with a weighting of 50%) and individual performance targets, including targets related to operating performance (with a weighting of 50%). The achievement of each of the two quantitative financial targets was weighted equally; weightings were also assigned to specific individual performance targets based on the relative importance assigned to each and varied by Eligible Named Executive Officer based on the number of individual performance targets and the relative importance assigned to each.

For 2013, the quantitative financial performance targets of the former President and CEO consisted of Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA2 of US$ 125.0 million and Direct Free Cash Flow2 negative US$49.0 million. The qualitative and individual performance targets included achieving levels of prime time audience shares, local product hours, daily unique visitors and subscribers; delivering annualized savings from restructuring of US$ 25.0 million, achieving revenues of US$ 791.0 million and higher advertising prices; achieving total costs of US$ 666.0 million; and completing a financing. The former President and CEO was entitled to earn a non-equity incentive plan award for 2013 of up to US$ 1,800,000 based on the achievement of these targets.

For 2013, the quantitative financial performance targets of the former Chief Financial Officer consisted of Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA of US$ 125.0 million and Direct Free Cash Flow negative US$49.0 million and qualitative and individual performance targets included delivering annualized savings from restructuring of US$ 25.0 million; achieving total costs of US$ 666.0 million and completing a financing. The former Chief Financial Officer was entitled to earn a non-equity incentive plan award for 2013 of up to approximately US$ 580,850 based on the achievement of these targets.
The quantitative financial and operating performance targets of the former EVP - Strategic Planning and Operations were Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA of US$ 125.0 million and Direct Free Cash Flow negative US$49.0 million and qualitative and individual performance targets included achieving levels of prime time audience shares, local product hours daily unique visitors and subscribers; delivering annualized savings from restructuring of US$ 25.0 million, achieving revenues of US$ 791.0 million and higher advertising prices; achieving total costs of US$ 666.0 million and completing a financing. The former EVP - Strategic Planning and Operations was entitled to earn a non-equity incentive plan award for 2013 of up to approximately US$ 515,588 based on the achievement of these targets.

2Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA” is equal to actual consolidated OIBDA for the Company, translated at exchange rates used in the Company’s 2013 budget and excluding stock-based compensation and other one-time items.  “Direct Free Cash Flow” is free cash flow translated at exchange rates used in the Company’s 2013 budget. Free cash flow includes cash flows from continuing operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, net of disposals of property, plant and equipment.   The purpose of the translation at constant exchange rates is to exclude the impact of exchange rate movements on internal performance targets.

The qualitative financial performance targets of the General Counsel consisted of Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA of US$ 125.0 million and Direct Free Cash Flow negative US$49.0 million and qualitative and individual performance targets included delivering annualized savings from restructuring of US$ 25.0 million; completing a financing; and ensuring effective legal services are delivered in support of the Company’s operations and business strategies and ensuring the Company effectively fulfills its regulatory and compliance goals; and strengthening the capacity of the corporate legal department. The General Counsel was entitled to earn a non-equity incentive plan award for 2013 of up to approximately US$ 523,765 based on the achievement of these targets.

The quantitative financial targets of the acting CFO consisted of Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA of US$ 125.0 million and Direct Free Cash Flow negative US$49.0 million and qualitative and individual performance goals included delivering annualized savings from restructuring of US$ 25.0 million; achieving total costs of US$ 666.0 million and completing a financing. The acting CFO was entitled to earn a non-equity incentive plan award for 2013 of up to approximately US$ 199,483 based on the achievement of these targets.

The financial targets identified are consistent with key measures the Company uses to evaluate its performance on a Company-wide basis. The individual performance targets have been tailored to the role of the relevant Eligible Named Executive Officer and were designed to support the achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives.

Determining Awards

The achievement of financial targets is measured against the results delivered by the Company in respect of such targets for 2013, translated where appropriate at exchange rates used in the Company’s 2013 budget. Budgeted exchange rates are applied in order to exclude the impact of foreign exchange movements on performance. The achievement of individual performance targets are, as applicable, measured against actual performance of the business or based on self-assessments by the Eligible Named Executive Officer that are reviewed by the co-CEOs who make recommendations to the Compensation Committee. Any award of a non-equity incentive compensation award for 2013 was subject to achieving the OIBDA Threshold, which was not achieved.

While performance targets form the basis for awarding non-equity incentive plan compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that judgment is also an important factor and the Compensation Committee can exercise discretion in determining awards. This is particularly relevant following the onset of the financial crisis in the economies of Central and Eastern Europe in late 2008. The prolonged period over which television advertising spending contracted continued into 2013 as levels of advertising spending remained low in response to reduced consumer demand. In addition, the Company’s attempts to increase television advertising prices in 2013 in the Czech Republic met with substantial resistance from certain advertisers and agencies, which resulted in a significant decline in revenues in 2013 compared to 2012. The effect of that operating environment together with the impact of unforeseen macroeconomic events have made forecasting and budgeting much more challenging. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee takes factors such as these into consideration and may reasonably determine ranges or absolute numbers above or below which awards may be earned in respect of specific performance targets. In addition, the Compensation Committee may also award discretionary bonuses or establish other performance criteria for purposes of creating additional incentives for the achievement of specific objectives in addition to the annual incentive plans.
2013 Awards for Named Executive Officers

The Company’s financial results for 2013 were negatively impacted primarily by the adverse reaction of advertisers and agencies to the initiative to increase television advertising prices in the Czech Republic, which resulted in their withdrawing or withholding advertising from the Company’s channels there. The reaction by advertisers and agencies in the Czech Republic also negatively affected the behavior of clients in the Slovak Republic. The decrease in our television advertising revenues was only partially offset by increases in carriage fees in Bulgaria and Romania.

Since the onset of the financial crisis at the end of 2008, the television advertising markets in which the Company operates contracted significantly in response to sharply reduced consumer demand. After adjusting for inflation, the Company estimates that GDP in its territories remained flat overall during 2013, consistent with 2012. Real private consumption is also estimated to have been flat overall during 2013. As a result, the overall macroeconomic environment contributed to a decrease in advertising spending. On a constant currency basis, television advertising spending, the Company’s principal source of revenues, declined overall by 7% in 2013. The most significant decrease is in the Czech Republic where the market is estimated to have decreased by 10% due in large part to our pricing initiatives described above. This also had a negative impact on the TV advertising market in the Slovak Republic. The decrease in Slovenia is attributable to recent banking sector problems and political instability. Television advertising spending also declined in Croatia and Romania, however our market shares in those countries rose as our revenue increased.

14

The Company did not achieve its financial targets in 2013 but was successful in achieving key strategic goals. Declining television advertising spending had an impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenues from its broadcasting operations; nevertheless, the Company succeeded in maintaining the leading positions of its broadcast operations and increasing carriage fee revenues while continuing to focus on controlling costs. Free cash flow was negatively affected in part by lower cash receipts attributable to the decline in television advertising spending, particularly in the Czech Republic.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards for Co-CEOs

Each of the co-CEOs earned non-equity incentive plan compensation pursuant to their employment agreements as the targets described above established by the Compensation Committee following their appointments were achieved.

Non-equity Incentive Plan Awards for Eligible Named Executive Officers

On August 21, 2013, Mr. Sarbu entered into a separation agreement with CME Media Services Limited (the “Sarbu Separation Agreement”) pursuant to which he resigned as President and CEO with effect from August 21, 2013, although he continued to be employed through December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the Sarbu Separation Agreement, Mr. Sarbu was not entitled to receive any non-equity incentive plan award for 2013.

On October 14, 2013, Mr. Sach entered into a separation agreement with CME Media Services Limited (the “Sach Separation Agreement”) pursuant to which his service as Chief Financial Officer terminated with effect from October 29, 2013. Pursuant to the Sach Separation Agreement, Mr. Sach was not entitled to receive any non-equity incentive plan award for 2013.

On October 17, 2013, Mr. Chhoy entered into a separation agreement with CME Media Services Limited (the “Chhoy Separation Agreement”) pursuant to which his service as EVP-Strategic Planning and Operations terminated with effect from November 15, 2013. Pursuant to the Chhoy Separation Agreement, Mr. Chhoy was not entitled to receive any non-equity incentive plan award for 2013.

The General Counsel did not earn a non-equity incentive plan award for 2013 since the Company did not achieve the OIBDA Threshold. The Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA and Direct Free Cash Flow targets were not achieved. The Compensation Committee determined that the individual performance targets had been achieved with respect to providing effective advice to the co-CEOs, the former President and CEO, the Board and its committees on a number of significant legal and strategic issues for the Company, successfully completing a financing transaction, achieving more than US$ 25.0 million of cost savings from restructuring on an annualized basis, providing advice and assistance with respect to compliance and regulatory matters, and strengthening the capacity of his department. The Compensation Committee did elect to award the General Counsel a discretionary bonus of US$ 125,000.
The Acting CFO did not earn a non-equity incentive plan award for 2013 since the Company did not achieve the OIBDA Threshold. The Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA and Direct Free Cash Flow targets were not achieved. The Compensation Committee determined that the individual performance targets had been achieved with respect to successfully completing a financing transaction and achieving more than US$ 25.0 million of cost savings from restructuring on an annualized basis. The Compensation Committee did elect to award the acting CFO a discretionary bonus of US$ 45,000.
15

Long-Term Equity Awards

In 2013, the Compensation Committee elected to award restricted stock units rather than options as long-term equity incentives under its Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. The continuing difficult economic environment in the Company’s markets described above has had a negative impact on the Company’s operating results and share price, which has declined significantly over this period. Because of this share price movement and the likelihood of continued pressure on the Company’s share price as a result of the Company’s financing activities and the fact that the return to growth in the Company’s markets is expected to be gradual, the Compensation Committee believes that options are not currently an effective compensation tool. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee elected to award restricted stock units to 11 employees, including the Eligible Named Executive Officers in 2013. The dates and values of the grants to Eligible Named Executive Officers are included in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below.

For equity grants to Eligible Named Executive Officers in 2013, 50% of the restricted stock awards are time-based and 50% are performance-based. The time-based awards vest in four equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, up to 25% of such awards are eligible for vesting each anniversary of the date of grant in the event that the total shareholder return for the Company’s Class A common stock during the period from the grant date to such anniversary is at least equal to the total return of Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index over the same period. If the performance criteria is not met for an applicable scheduled vesting period, such installment of restricted stock units does not terminate but may vest in a later vesting period if the performance criteria are met during such later period.

At the annual general meeting of CME Ltd. held on June 13, 2012, the shareholders approved an employee option exchange program whereby eligible employees would, subject to certain conditions, be given the opportunity to exchange outstanding options to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for a lesser number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The exchange program was launched on May 24, 2013 and completed on June 25, 2013 and 1,618,000 options were exchanged for 545,135 RSUs pursuant to the exchange program. The RSUs issued pursuant to the exchange program vest in three equal installments from the date of grant.

As described below under “Equity Granting Policy”, the Compensation Committee approves all grants of option and restricted stock units to Named Executive Officers and other employees and the exercise price of all option grants is equal to the fair market value of our shares on the date of grant.
Other Compensation Practices and Policies

Executive Compensation Recoupment

The Company has a policy that permits the Compensation Committee to seek recovery of payments of incentive plan compensation awards and bonuses of Named Executive Officers and certain other covered senior executives if the Company is required to restate its financial statements (other than due to a change in accounting rules) or if the performance results leading to a payment of incentive compensation are subject to a material downward adjustment.  For purposes of this policy, payment of incentive compensation includes awards of equity compensation under the Stock Incentive Plan.  Under this policy, the Compensation Committee has discretion to determine what action it believes is appropriate, which may include recovery or cancellation of incentive payments, and may consider a number of factors in determining whether to seek recovery, including the degree of responsibility of a covered executive, the amount of excess compensation paid, the costs associated with recovery of compensation, applicable law and other actions the Company or third parties have taken.
Stock Ownership Guidelines

We encourage stock ownership by executives and directors but do not have formal stock ownership guidelines.

Severance

As is customary in our markets, all of our Named Executive Officers have employment agreements with us or one of our subsidiaries and these agreements provide for compensation in the event of involuntary termination.  These termination payments, which are typically defined by local practice and are generally derived from the notice period or term of the relevant employment agreement, were negotiated between us and each Named Executive Officer individually and do not conform to a single policy.  The basis for and value of these termination payments is further described and quantified under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” below.

Compensation and Management Consultants

During 2013, neither the Compensation Committee nor management engaged anyone to serve as an independent advisor on executive or director compensation matters or on programs and policies that are subject to the review or approval of the Compensation Committee.

Role of Executives in Establishing Compensation

The co-CEOs, the Acting CFO, the General Counsel and other members of senior management have participated in the development and implementation of certain executive compensation programs, particularly the annual incentive and long-term equity incentive programs in the Management Compensation Policy Guidelines, and the establishment of annual targets. Once formulated, the Management Compensation Policy Guidelines are reviewed by co-CEOs and submitted to the Compensation Committee for its review and approval. From time to time, certain executives, including the co-CEOs, may be invited to attend meetings of the Compensation Committee to discuss Company compensation programs; in addition, the General Counsel may be invited to attend meetings in his capacity as Company Secretary. While these executives may be asked to provide input and perspective, only Compensation Committee members vote on executive compensation matters. These votes take place in executive session, when no members of management are in attendance.

Compensation Risk Assessment

In establishing and reviewing executive compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation has been designed and allocated among base salary and short-term and long-term compensation in a manner that does not encourage excessive risk-taking by management that may harm the value of the Company, reward poor judgment or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Base salaries are designed to be consistent with an executive’s responsibilities and to provide sufficient financial security as a proportion of total compensation so as not to promote unnecessary or excessive risk-taking when earning compensation under the Company’s incentive plans.

Historically, the Company’s non-equity incentive plan awards for senior management have been, in general, based on achieving annual OIBDA targets. In 2013, non-equity incentive plan awards that could be earned by Eligible Named Executive Officers and other employees under the Management Compensation Policy Guidelines were based on achieving a Consolidated Budgeted OIBDA target and a Direct Free Cash Flow target as well as a number of individual qualitative targets; provided, that the Company achieved the OIBDA Threshold. While this may encourage taking short-term risks at the expense of long-term performance, the Compensation Committee believes that a number of factors substantially mitigate such risk. First, the Compensation Committee believes the annual budgeting process results in the establishment of annual targets that are based on a longer-term strategic vision for the Company and sustainable value creation. Second, having a number of targets that serve different goals mitigates the risk that certain Company objectives will be achieved (e.g., significant audience share or market share) at the expense of others (e.g., controlling costs and generating positive free cash flow) and having an OIBDA Threshold limits the amount of non-equity incentive plan awards that can be earned in the event of poor overall Company performance. This encourages management to focus on sustained profitable revenue generation. Third, rewarding key senior executives in part on the basis of achieving Company-wide targets ensures that they are focused on the performance of the Company as a whole. While rewarding division senior executives for divisional performance may result in risk taking, their targets have also been designed to serve different goals, which mitigates this possibility. Fourth, provisions in our Management Compensation Policy Guidelines that permit senior executives to be rewarded for qualitative performance reasons can reduce the influence of formulae in the determination of quantitative performance awards.
Under the Company’s equity incentive plans, the Compensation Committee also awards restricted stock units to senior management and other senior employees. As a general rule, the Compensation Committee provides for equity awards to employees to vest over a four-year period, which encourages grantees to focus on the longer-term performance of the Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee awarded restricted stock units to the Eligible Named Executive Officers in 2013 whose vesting is subject to the achievement of performance targets. Awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans create an incentive for long-term value creation, which can also act as a deterrent to short-term risk-taking.
17

The Compensation Committee continues to believe that an appropriate balance of compensation elements will support the achievement of competitive revenues and earnings in variable economic and industry conditions without undue risk.

Equity Granting Policy

Recognizing the importance of adhering to appropriate practices and procedures when granting equity awards, we formalized an equity granting policy in 2007 to memorialize the practices and processes we use in granting such awards. The policy establishes the following practices:

·Decisions to award equity grants should only be taken during a period when trading in our shares is permitted in accordance with our Insider Trading Policy.
·All grants to Section 16 officers, including grants to new hires, must be approved at a meeting of the Compensation Committee, including telephonic meetings, and may not occur through action by unanimous written consent.
·The grant date of any equity award approved at a meeting of the Compensation Committee shall be the date of such meeting or, in connection with an anticipated hire or an award to be granted in several installments, a future date established by the Compensation Committee at such meeting, subject to employment commencing.
·The exercise price for all option awards shall not be less than the closing price of our shares on the date of grant.

Say-on-Pay Proposals

At the Company’s 2011 annual general meeting, shareholders voted on an advisory proposal as to the frequency with which the Company should conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation (a “say-on-pay proposal”). At that meeting, 93.2% of votes cast were in favor of holding such a vote once every three years and the Company intends to hold such vote every three years. In addition, at the 2011 annual general meeting, shareholders had an opportunity to vote on executive compensation as disclosed in the 2011 proxy statement. Of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal, 93.2% were voted in favor of the proposal. The Compensation Committee considered the results of this advisory vote and it believes that it affirms shareholders’ support of the Company’s approach to executive compensation. The Company will continue to consider the outcome of subsequent say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for Named Executive Officers.

Impact of Tax and Accounting on Compensation Decisions

As a general matter, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration the various tax and accounting implications of compensation vehicles employed by us.  When determining amounts of long-term incentive compensation to executives and employees, the Compensation Committee examines the accounting cost associated with the grants. Under Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), grants of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units permitted pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan result in an accounting charge. The accounting charge is equal to the fair value of the number of instruments being issued that are expected to vest. For stock options, the cost is equal to the fair value of the option on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model multiplied by the number of options that are expected to vest. For restricted stock or restricted stock units, the cost is equal to the fair value of the stock on the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares or units granted that are expected to vest. This expense is amortized over the requisite service or vesting period.

The Compensation Committee also considers the tax implications of its programs, both to us and to the participants.  It is the Compensation Committee’s policy to maximize the effectiveness of our executive compensation plans in this regard.  However, the Compensation Committee believes that compensation and benefits decisions should be primarily driven by the needs of the business rather than by tax policy.  Therefore, the Compensation Committee may make pay decisions that result in certain tax inefficiencies.

Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2013
The following table sets forth information with respect to restricted stock units granted to the Named Executive Officers and outstanding at December 31, 2013.

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 13, 2012, the shareholders approved an employee option exchange program whereby eligible employees would, subject to certain conditions, be given the opportunity to exchange outstanding options to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for a lesser number of RSUs. The exchange program was launched on May 24, 2013 and completed on June 25, 2013 and 1,618,000 options were exchanged for 545,135 RSUs pursuant to the exchange program.  All Named Executive Officers exchanged their options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock for restricted stock units in accordance with the rules of the option exchange program, which RSUs were issued on June 25, 2013 and are included in the chart below. As a result, no Named Executive Officer held any options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at December 31, 2013.

Restricted stock units with time-based vesting vest in four equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant other than the grant made on June 25, 2013 in connection with the employee option exchange program described above, which vests in three equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant. Restricted stock units with performance based vesting are eligible for vesting over a four-year period on each anniversary of the date of grant in accordance with the performance criteria described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis Section above under “Long-Term  Equity Awards”.

(1) The market value of units of stock that have vested was determined by multiplying the number of units of stock that vested by the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the date such stock was vested.

In connection with the Sarbu Separation Agreement, the Compensation Committee agreed to vest all 271,425 unvested restricted stock units granted to Mr. Sarbu following the final date of his employment on December 31, 2013. In accordance with the terms of Mr. Sach’s employment agreement, all 204,998 unvested restricted stock units granted to him vested following the termination of his employment agreement on October 29, 2013.  In connection with the Chhoy Separation Agreement, the Compensation Committee agreed to vest 124,134 unvested restricted stock units granted to Mr. Chhoy following the termination of his employment agreement on November 15, 2013.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control
Set out below is information reflecting compensation that may be payable to each of the Named Executive Officers in the event of the termination of such Named Executive Officer’s employment. The amount of compensation payable upon voluntary termination, involuntary termination (other than for cause) or termination for cause is described below. We do not have any severance agreement or any agreement providing for any specific payments (commonly referred to as “parachute payments”) upon a change of control with any Named Executive Officer. However, equity incentive awards granted to employees and directors automatically become vested on a change of control pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan. Except as set out below, a “change of control” for purposes hereof refers to certain corporate transactions (including a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company and a merger or consolidation where the Company is not the surviving entity) as set forth in the Company’s option agreements that are customarily regarded as a change of control.
The amounts shown below assume that such termination or change of control was effective as of December 31, 2013. The amounts do not include salary earned through such period (which is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table) or accrued vacation days. The amounts below also do not include non-equity incentive plan compensation or discretionary bonuses for any Named Executive Officers actually awarded in respect of the year ended December 31, 2013 (which is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table). Restricted stock unit values represent the closing price of shares of our Class A Common Stock on December 31, 2013. The numbers presented below are for illustrative purposes. Actual amounts that may be payable or will be paid can only be determined at the time of separation of a Named Executive Officer from the Company. Foreign currency amounts set out below have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at December 31, 2013.
