         DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

This application seeks FCC approval for a pro forma transfer of control of HBO Latin America
Production Services, L.C. (“HBO Latin America”). Control of HBO Latin America is effectively shared
between Time Warner Inc. (“TWI”) (and its subsidiaries) and Ole Communications Group (US) LLC
(“Ole”) (and Ole’s subsidiaries, and Ole’s sole owner Enrique Nicolas Cusco). The complete ownership
structure of HBO Latin America is shown in the attached organizational diagram. Warner
Communications Inc. (“WCI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TWI and an indirect owner of HBO Latin
America, will convert from a corporation to a limited liability company. This change in control is pro
forma because at all times WCI and WCI’s successor form of entity, Warner Communications LLC
(“WC LLC”) remain ultimately wholly-owned and controlled by TWI, and HBO Latin America’s
ownership will otherwise remain unchanged.1 HBO Latin America, WCI, and the new form of legal
entity into which it converts, WC LLC, will have the same ownership, assets, and liabilities. The pro
forma change in TWI’s indirect ownership of HBO Latin America contemplated herein does not alter
Ole’s ownership or joint control of HBO Latin America. The complete circumstances of this TWI
internal reorganization are briefly set forth below.

On or after December 31, 2013, WCI will be converted to a limited liability company organized under
the laws of Delaware and become WC LLC. After that conversion is completed, WC LLC will
distribute the shares of Historic TW Inc. (“HTW”) that it holds to HTW. The distribution of the shares
of HTW held by WC LLC to HTW will increase the direct ownership of HTW held by TWI, but the
ownership of HTW distributed by WC LLC will not be a controlling interest in HTW; rather, the
controlling interest (and ultimate 100 percent equity ownership) of HTW will at all times be held by
TWI. Hence, no transfer of control will occur as a result of WC LLC’s distribution of HTW shares to
HTW. Grant of this application will serve the public interest because it will enable TWI to streamline
its ownership of HBO Latin America.

This pro forma transfer of control application is the second of two pro forma transfer of control
applications that are being filed contemporaneously for HBO Latin America. The change contemplated
in this application will occur subsequent to the change contemplated in the first application.

Regarding Non-Substantial Assignments of Wireless Licenses and Transfers of Control Involving

involving a “corporate reorganization which involves no substantial change in the beneficial ownership
of the corporation”).
