    Press Release Zee Learn Limited September 26, 2019 Ratings Amount Facilities Rating1 Rating Action (Rs. crore) Non-Convertible Debenture 65.00 CARE AA (CE) Revised from CARE AA+ (CE issue@ (Rs. Sixty five [Double A (Credit Enhancement)] [Double A Plus (Credit crore only) (Credit watch with negative Enhancement)]; Continues on implications) Credit watch with negative implications Details of instruments/facilities in Annexure-1 @Backed by unconditional and irrevocable Corporate Guarantee extended by Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL) for maintaining Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) to top up the reserve account to meet any shortfall in servicing outstanding obligations of the said debentures, seven days prior to the due date. Detailed Rationale & Key Rating Drivers The above rating is based on the credit enhancement in the form of unconditional and irrevocable corporate guarantee extended by ZEEL for the instrument raised by Zee Learn Ltd. (ZLL). Rating Rationale of the Guarantor (ZEEL) ZEEL’s credit profile factors in the weakened financial flexibility at the Essel group level denoted by the significant decline in the market capitalization of the listed entities of the Essel group over the last one year and the high level of pledging of the promoter holding in these companies. As on June 30, 2019, amongst the total promoter holding of 35.79% in ZEEL, 63.98% has been pledged. Although the Essel group has sold 11% stake in ZEEL to Invesco Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund (Invesco) for Rs.4224 crore and has been in the process of monetizing its infrastructure business, so as to improve the liquidity position of the group, the progress on the same has been slow, especially in light of the fact that the deadline of September 30, 2019 agreed upon with the Group’s lenders is fast approaching.

While this thesis is theoretically true, it only showcases one side of the equation. Digitisation is a double-edged sword and is likely to transform the broadcast space with power shifting from distribution / broadcasting networks to content. In such a scenario, we believe broadcasting networks like ZEEL, Star India and Sun TV Network face a huge challenge of investing in compelling content in an era of accessible distribution. Star India has upped the ante by large audacious bets on sport (cricket) and movie satellite rights.

    May 22, 2019 Dish Infra Services Private Limited: Ratings downgraded to [ICRA]A(Negative)/[ICRA]A2+; removed from Watch with Negative Implications Summary of rating action Previous Rated Current Rated Instrument* Amount Amount Rating Action (Rs. crore) (Rs. crore) Long-term Loans 400.0 400.0 [ICRA]A(Negative); downgraded from [ICRA]A+@ Long-term/Short-term (400.0) (400.0) [ICRA]A(Negative)/[ICRA]A2+; Fund-based/Non-fund Based Limits^ downgraded from [ICRA]A+@/[ICRA]A1@ Total 400.0 400.0 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 ^Sublimit of long-term loans; @On rating Watch with Negative Implications Rationale While assigning the ratings, ICRA has taken a consolidated view of Dish Infra Services Private Limited (DISPL), along with its parent, Dish TV India Limited (DTIL, or Dish TV), post amalgamation of Videocon d2h Limited (Vd2h) into DTIL. The ratings downgrade reflects the continued stress at the Essel Group level amid slow progress on monetisation, and the significant increase in the pledged shareholding of the promoters across the Group’s listed entities1 since February 2019. This has further reduced the promoter Group’s ability to support the operating entities. The ratings continue to derive strength from DTIL’s leadership position in the direct-to-home (DTH) industry in India, which has been further strengthened post the merger of Vd2h with itself, effective from March 22, 20182. The merged entity had a combined net (active) subscriber base of 23.6 million as on December 31, 2018. The average revenue per user (ARPU) of the merged entity moderated to Rs.
