     DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

This application seeks FCC approval for a pro forma transfer of control of Global Digital Media
Xchange Inc. that results from the conversion of one of its controlling corporate parents, Warner
Communications Inc. (“WCI”), from a corporation to a limited liability company. This change
in control is pro forma because at all times WCI, WCI’s successor form of entity, Warner
Communications LLC (“WC LLC”), and Global Digital Media Xchange Inc. remain under the
ultimate 100 percent ownership and control of Time Warner Inc. (“TWI”), and Global Digital
Media Xchange Inc., WCI, and the new form of legal entity into which it converts, WC LLC,
will have the same ownership, assets, and liabilities.1 The complete circumstances of this
internal reorganization are briefly set forth below.

Global Digital Media Xchange Inc. is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of WCI, a
corporation organized under the laws of Delaware. As shown in the attached organizational
diagram, WCI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Historic TW Inc. (“HTW”). HTW is directly
majority-owned and controlled by Time Warner Inc (“TWI”), and TWI indirectly owns the
remaining equity of HTW. WCI and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (“TBS”) directly holds
shares of HTW, but neither WCI nor TBS control HTW. Both WCI and TBS are indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of TWI.

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 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 Global Digital Media Xchange Inc.

Note: Global Digital Media Exchange Inc. holds another earth station license under a second
FRN (0010253938), call sign E040137. Under that FRN, the licensee’s name was listed as
“Global Digital Media Xchange,” excluding the “Inc.” designation. These two FRNs are in fact
associated with the same legal entity, but the licensed facilities are at different locations. The
name listed in the FCC’s records for each FRN has been used in the FCC Form 312 and
attachments filed using the FRN.

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

beneficial ownership of the corporation”).
