Explanatory Note
This amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Item 9.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) on October 9, 2018 to include the historical financial statements of Sky plc (“Sky”), the business which Comcast obtained a controlling interest in on October 9, 2018, and the unaudited pro forma financial information required pursuant to Item 9.01(a) and Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K, and exhibits under Item 9.01(d) of Form 8-K.
The historical financial statements of Sky have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The unaudited pro forma financial information contains pro forma adjustments to reflect the acquisition and the purchasing accounting adjustments related thereto, and to reconcile the differences between the historical amounts presented in Sky’s historical financial statements under IFRS and those historical amounts as if they had been presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma financial information contains adjustments related to the borrowings to fund the acquisition.
