(1) | The 414,889,385 shares of Fox Entertainment Group, Inc. ("Old Fox") Class A common stock were acquired in an offer by News Corporation ("News Corporation") to exchange 2.04 shares of News Corporation Class A common stock for each outstanding share of Old Fox Class A common stock (such ratio, the "Exchange Ratio," and such offer, the "Exchange Offer"). Prior to the Exchange Offer, FEG Holdings, Inc. ("FEGH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of News Corporation, owned 252,159,080 shares of Old Fox Class A common stock and 547,500,000 shares of Old Fox Class B common stock. FEGH exchanged all of its shares of Old Fox Class A common stock in the Exchange Offer at the Exchange Ratio. FEGH also exchanged all of its shares of Old Fox Class B common stock for shares of News Corporation Class A common stock at the Exchange Ratio, pursuant to an exchange agreement between Fox Acquisition Corp (n/k/a Fox Entertainment Group, Inc.) ("New Fox") and FEGH (the "Exchange Agreement"). |
(2) | 12,069,695 shares of Old Fox Class A common stock were acquired in a "short form" merger effected by News Corporation in which Old Fox was merged with and into New Fox (the "Merger"). Each share of Old Fox not tendered in the Exchange Offer or exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was exchanged in the Merger for shares of News Corporation Class A common stock at the Exchange Ratio. As a result of the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Agreement and the Merger, (i) Old Fox became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of News Corporation, and (ii) FEGH, a previous reporting person of Old Fox as a result of its record ownership of Old Fox, disposed of its ownership of Old Fox. |
