[email protected] May 3, 2017 VIA EMAIL AND FEDERAL EXPRESS Ms. Sharon White Chief Executive, Ofcom Riverside House 2a Southwark Bridge Road London SE1 9HA Re: Claims Against Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., et al. Dear Ms. White I am a founding partner of Wigdor LLP, a New York City based employment litigation firm. Over the course of the last twelve months, our firm has had the privilege of representing 19 current and former employees of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (“21st Century Fox,”) and Fox News Network LLC (“Fox News”) (together with 21st Century Fox, “Fox” or “the Company”) in connection with their claims of gender and/or race discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. I understand that Ofcom is currently reviewing and investigating 21st Century Fox’s potential takeover of Sky PLC and determining whether such transaction would meet the “Public Interest Test,” which includes corporate governance under the rubric of Broadcasting Standards. While I am a New York lawyer, I am also qualified to practice in Her Majesty’s Courts of England & Wales and received my Master’s Degree from Oxford University in 1995 (St Cross College). Given my background and representation of clients against 21st Century Fox, I believe I am uniquely qualified to offer facts that Deadline.commay be relevant for your consideration in connection with Section 3(3) of the Broadcasting Act. Once you have had an opportunity to consider this correspondence, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss more fully these issues and answer any queries you may have.
