Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraphs at the end thereof:
 
Closing of Rights Offering, TW Private Placement and Backstop Private Placement
 
Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, in April 2014, the Issuer appointed three directors to its Board of Directors who were designated by TW Holdings B.V.
 
On May 2, 2014 (the “Issue Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, TW Holdings B.V. acquired (a) 2,229,644 Units, consisting of 2,229,644 New Notes and 46,822,524 Unit Warrants, for an aggregate purchase price of $222,964,400 pursuant to the exercise in full of the Rights allocated to TW Holdings B.V. in respect of its shares of Class A Common Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares in the Rights Offering, (b) 581,533 Private Placement Units, consisting of 581,533 New Notes and 12,212,193 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $58,153,300 in the TW Private Placement, and (c) 566,299 Units, consisting of 566,299 New Notes and 11,892,279 Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $56,629,900 in the Backstop Private Placement.
 
    The Unit Warrants are governed by the terms of the Unit Warrant Agreement entered into by the Issuer and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (as Warrant Agent) on May 2, 2014 and the related warrant certificate issued to the applicable holder thereof.  Each Unit Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Unit Warrants do not have any voting rights and will be exercisable commencing the second anniversary of the Issue Date through the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share,
 
 
 
5
 
 subject to the limited right of TW Holdings B.V. to exercise the Unit Warrants earlier in order to maintain the TW Ownership Threshold.

The Private Placement Warrants are governed by the terms of a warrant agreement (the “Private Placement Warrant Agreement”) entered into by the Issuer and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (as Warrant Agent) on May 2, 2014 and the related warrant certificate issued to TW Holdings B.V.  Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Private Placement Warrants do not have any voting rights and will be exercisable commencing the second anniversary of the Issue Date through the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to the limited right of TW Holdings B.V. to exercise the Unit Warrants earlier in order to maintain the TW Ownership Threshold.

Issuance of Initial Warrants

In the Framework Agreement, the Issuer agreed to issue the Initial Warrant to purchase 30 million shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Initial Warrant Shares”) to TW Holdings B.V. in connection with the financing transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement.  On the Issue Date, (i) in exchange for Time Warner’s performance of services associated with facilitating and implementing the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, TW Holdings B.V. assigned to Time Warner its right under the Framework Agreement to be issued 23,700,000 of the 30,000,000 Initial Warrant Shares, subject to the terms of the Initial Warrant Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (ii) TW Holdings B.V. and the Issuer instructed the Escrow Agent to return the Initial Warrant to the Issuer, and (iii) the Issuer and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (as Warrant Agent) entered into a new warrant agreement (the “New Initial Warrant Agreement”) providing for the issuance of new Initial Warrants to TW Holdings B.V. and Time Warner.  On the Issue Date, the Issuer issued an Initial Warrant to TW Holdings B.V to purchase 6,300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and issued an Initial Warrant to Time Warner to purchase 23,700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Initial Warrants are governed by the terms of the New Initial Warrant Agreement and the related warrant certificates.  The Initial Warrants do not have any voting rights and will be exercisable from the second anniversary of the Issue Date through the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date for shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to the limited right of TW Holdings B.V. and Time Warner to exercise their Initial Warrants earlier in order to maintain the TW Ownership Threshold.

Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility and Intercreditor Agreement

On the Issue Date, (a) pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, TW Holdings B.V. made the Term Loan to the Issuer in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000, (b) Time Warner and the Issuer entered into the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, which provides for the Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $115,000,000, and (c) Time Warner, the Issuer, CME NV, CME BV and the other parties thereto entered into the CME Intercreditor Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Unit Warrant Agreement, including the Unit Warrants, the Private Placement Warrant Agreement, including the Private Placement Warrants, the New Initial Warrant Agreement, including the Initial Warrants, and the CME Intercreditor Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Unit Warrant Agreement (including the form of Unit Warrant), which is attached to this Amendment No. 15 as Exhibit 99.29, the Private Placement Warrant Agreement (including the form of Private Placement Warrant), which is attached to this Amendment No. 15 as Exhibit 99.30, the New Initial Warrant Agreement (including the form of Initial Warrants), which is attached to this Amendment No. 15 as Exhibit 99.31, and the CME Intercreditor Agreement, which is attached to this Amendment No. 15 as Exhibit 99.32, and, in each case, are incorporated by reference into this Item 3.
