Merger Proposed—Your Vote Is Very Important MERGER PROPOSED—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT May 30, 2018 Dear Stockholders of The Walt Disney Company and Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc.: The Walt Disney Company, which we refer to as Disney, and Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., which we refer to as 21CF, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 2017, which we refer to as the combination merger agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the combination merger agreement, following the distribution (as defined below), TWC Merger Enterprises 2 Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Disney, will be merged with and into 21CF, which we refer to as the initial merger, and 21CF will continue as the surviving corporation in the initial merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney. Prior to the completion of the initial merger, 21CF and a newly-formed subsidiary of 21CF, which we refer to as New Fox, will enter into a separation agreement, which we refer to as the separation agreement, pursuant to which 21CF will, among other things, engage in an internal restructuring, which we refer to as the separation, whereby it will transfer to New Fox a portfolio of 21CF’s news, sports and broadcast businesses, including the Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Sports, Fox Television Stations Group, and sports cable networks FS1, FS2, Fox Deportes and Big Ten Network, and certain other assets, and New Fox will assume from 21CF certain liabilities associated with such businesses. 21CF will retain all assets and liabilities not transferred to New Fox, including the Twentieth Century Fox film and television studios and certain cable and international television businesses. Following the separation and prior to the completion of the initial merger, 21CF will distribute all of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Fox to 21CF stockholders (other than holders that are subsidiaries of 21CF) on a pro rata basis, which we refer to as the distribution, in accordance with terms set forth in the Distribution Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 7, 2018, by and between 21CF and 21CF Distribution Merger Sub, Inc., which we refer to as the distribution merger agreement. Prior to the distribution, New Fox will pay to 21CF a dividend in the amount of $8.5 billion. New Fox will incur indebtedness sufficient to fund the dividend, which indebtedness will be reduced after the initial merger by the amount of the cash payment, as described in the following paragraph. If the transactions are completed, each issued and outstanding share of 21CF class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 21CF class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (other than shares held by subsidiaries of 21CF, which we refer to as the hook stock shares) will be exchanged automatically for 0.2745 shares of Disney common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The exchange ratio may be subject to an adjustment based on the final estimate of certain tax liabilities arising from the separation and distribution and other transactions contemplated by the combination merger agreement. We refer to such adjustment as the exchange ratio adjustment. The initial exchange ratio in the combination merger agreement of 0.2745 shares of Disney common stock for each share of 21CF common stock was set based on an estimate of $8.5 billion for the transaction tax (as defined in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus), and will be adjusted immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions if the final estimate of the transaction tax at closing is more than $8.5 billion or less than $6.5 billion. Such adjustment could increase or decrease the exchange ratio, depending upon whether the final estimate is lower or higher, respectively, than $6.5 billion or $8.5 billion. Additionally, if the final estimate of the tax liabilities is lower than $8.5 billion, Disney will make a cash payment to New Fox reflecting the difference between such amount and $8.5 billion, up to a maximum cash payment of $2 billion. As described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus under “The Combination Merger Agreement—Tax Matters—Transaction Tax Calculation”, it is likely that the final estimate of the tax liabilities taken into account will differ materially from the amount estimated for purposes of setting the initial exchange ratio. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, there could be a material adjustment to the exchange ratio. Because of the exchange ratio adjustment, the number of shares of Disney common stock that 21CF stockholders will receive in the initial merger cannot be determined until immediately prior to completion of the initial merger. See the section entitled “The Transactions—Sensitivity Analysis” beginning on page 93 of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information on the sensitivity of the exchange ratio and the amount of the cash payment payable to New Fox to changes in the amount of the transaction tax. Each hook stock share will be exchanged automatically for a fraction of a share of Disney series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to the exchange ratio (after giving effect to the exchange ratio adjustment) divided by 10,000 or, if the Disney board so elects in its sole discretion, a number of shares of Disney common stock equal to the exchange ratio (after giving effect to the exchange ratio adjustment). Based on the closing price of Disney common stock of $107.61 on December 13, 2017, the last trading day before public announcement of the combination merger agreement, and assuming that there would be no exchange ratio adjustment, the merger consideration represented an implied value of $29.54 per share of 21CF common stock. Based on the closing price of Disney common stock of $102.20 on May 25, 2018, the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and assuming that there would be no exchange ratio adjustment, the merger consideration represented an implied value of $28.05 per share of 21CF common stock. The implied value of the merger consideration will fluctuate with the market price of Disney common stock. 21CF class A common stock and 21CF class B common stock are currently traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “FOXA” and “FOX,” respectively, and Disney common stock is currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DIS.” We encourage you to obtain current market quotes for 21CF common stock and Disney common stock before you determine how to vote on the proposals set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. At the special meeting of Disney stockholders, Disney stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following matters: • a proposal to approve the issuance of Disney common stock and, if applicable, Disney series B convertible preferred stock, which we refer to collectively as Disney stock, to 21CF stockholders in connection with the initial merger, which we refer to as the share issuance proposal; • a proposal to approve amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Disney, which we refer to as the Disney charter, to provide, among other things, that shares of Disney common stock held by subsidiaries of Disney will not be entitled to receive dividends that are declared on the Disney common stock (other than certain dividends in shares of Disney common stock or other equity securities), which we refer to as the Disney charter amendment proposal; and • a proposal to adjourn the Disney special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the share issuance proposal, which we refer to as the Disney adjournment proposal. Approval of the share issuance proposal and the Disney adjournment proposal each requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Disney common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Disney special meeting and entitled to vote thereon. This vote will also satisfy the vote requirements of Section 312.07 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual with respect to the share issuance proposal, which requires that the votes cast in favor of such proposal must exceed the aggregate of votes cast against and abstentions. Approval of the Disney charter amendment proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Disney common stock entitled to vote thereon. At the special meeting of 21CF stockholders, 21CF stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following matters: • a proposal to adopt the combination merger agreement, which we refer to as the combination merger proposal; • a proposal to adopt the distribution merger agreement, which we refer to as the distribution merger proposal; • a proposal to approve an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of 21CF, which we refer to as the 21CF charter, to provide that the hook stock shares will not receive any shares of New Fox common stock in connection with the distribution, which we refer to as the hook stock charter amendment proposal; • a proposal to approve an amendment to the 21CF charter to provide for a subdivision of the issued and outstanding shares of 21CF common stock such that the total number of shares of 21CF common stock issued and outstanding immediately after such subdivision is equal to the stock split multiple (as defined in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus under “The Transactions—Overview of the Transactions—Stock

  • Media Ownership Chart
    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

  • Abstract a Case Study of Cross-Ownership Waivers
    ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY OF CROSS-OWNERSHIP WAIVERS: FRAMING NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF RUPERT MURDOCH’S REQUESTS TO KEEP THE NEW YORK POST by Rachel L. Seeman Media ownership is an important regulatory issue that is enforced by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC, Congress, court and public interest groups share varying viewpoints concerning what the ownership limits should be and whether companies should be granted a waiver to be excused from the rules. News Corporation is one media firm that has a history of seeking these waivers, particularly for the New York Post and television stations in same community. This study conducted a qualitative framing analysis of news articles from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal to determine if the viewpoints expressed by the editorial boards were reflected in reports on News Corp.’s attempt to receive cross-ownership waivers. The analysis uncovered ten frames the newspapers used to assist in reporting the events and found that 80% of these frames did parallel the positions the paper’s editorial boards took concerning ownership waivers.
