On April 7, 2010, we completed the disposal of 100.0% of our former Ukraine operations to Harley Trading Limited, a company beneficially owned by Igor Kolomoisky, a CME Ltd. shareholder and member of our Board of Directors. We received total cash consideration of US$ 308.0 million and recognized a gain on sale of approximately U$ 217.6 million (see Item 1, Note 3, “Acquisitions and Disposals”).
|
·
|
On April 19, 2010, we acquired the bTV group in Bulgaria from News Netherlands B.V. The total cash consideration was US$ 400.0 million plus a payment of US$ 13.1 million for an estimated working capital adjustment (see Item 1, Note 3, “Acquisitions and Disposals”).
|
·
|
On April 22, 2010, we restructured the ownership of the Pro.BG business, following which we own 94.0% of the bTV group (see Item I, Note 3, “Acquisitions and Disposals”).
|
·
|
On May 24, 2010 we completed the acquisition of the remaining interests of approximately 5.0% in each of Pro TV, MPI and MV from Adrian Sarbu, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, thereby increasing our ownership interests in each of these companies to 100.0%. Consideration for the acquisition consisted of a cash payment of approximately US$ 6.2 million and the issuance of 800,000 shares of Class A common stock valued at US$ 18.5 million at the date of acquisition (see Part I, Note 3, “Acquisitions and Disposals”).
|
·
|
Credit ratings for our outstanding debt instruments and our corporate credit were upgraded as at April 26, 2010 (see V (d) “Cash Outlook”).

INDEMNITY
|
18.1
|
The Company will indemnify you and pay on your behalf all Expenses (as defined below) incurred by you in any Proceeding (as defined below), whether the Proceeding which gave rise to the right of indemnification pursuant to this Contract occurred prior to or after the date of this Contract provided that you shall promptly notify the Company of such Proceeding and the Company shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with you, assume the defence thereof with counsel of its choice.

Proceeding

The Expenses incurred by you in any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding at your written request.

The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by this Contract shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which you may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Association or the constituent documents of any other Associated Company for which you are serving as a director, officer or manager at the request of the Company, the laws under which the Company was formed, or otherwise, and may be exercised in any order you elect and prior to, concurrently with or following the exercise of any other such rights to which you may be entitled, including pursuant to directors’ and officers’ insurance maintained by the Company, both as to action in official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and the exercise of such rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Contract.
