OVERVIEW

Time Warner is a leading media and entertainment company whose major businesses encompass an array of the most respected and successful media brands. Among the Company’s brands are TNT, TBS, CNN, HBO, Cinemax, Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, People , Sports Illustrated and Time . During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company generated Revenues of $14.374 billion (up 5% from $13.723 billion in 2012), Operating Income of $2.921 billion (up 26% from $2.310 billion in 2012), Net Income attributable to Time Warner shareholders of $1.525 billion (up 54% from $991 million in 2012) and Cash provided by operations of $1.644 billion (up 119% from $751 million in 2012). On March 6, 2013, Time Warner announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with plans for the complete legal and structural separation of the Company’s Publishing segment from Time Warner (the “Time Separation”).

Time Warner Businesses

Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks, Film and TV Entertainment and Publishing. For additional information regarding Time Warner’s segments, refer to Note 12, “Segment Information,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Networks.   Time Warner’s Networks segment consists of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (“Turner”) and Home Box Office, Inc. (“Home Box Office”). During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Networks segment recorded Revenues of $7.536 billion (52% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $2.542 billion.

Turner operates domestic and international television networks, including such recognized brands as TNT, TBS, truTV, CNN and Cartoon Network, which are among the leaders in advertising-supported television networks. The Turner networks generate revenues principally from providing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute this programming to subscribers and from the sale of advertising. In addition, Turner provides online and mobile offerings for on-demand viewing of programs on its networks and live streaming of its networks to authenticated subscribers. Turner also manages and operates various digital media properties that primarily consist of brand-aligned websites, including CNN.com , NBA.com and related properties, NCAA.com and cartoonnetwork.com , that generate revenues principally from the sale of advertising and sponsorships.

Home Box Office operates the HBO and Cinemax domestic multi-channel premium pay television services, with the HBO service ranking as the most widely distributed domestic multi-channel premium pay television service. HBO- and Cinemax-branded premium pay and basic tier television services are distributed in more than 60 countries in Latin

America, Asia and Europe. HBO and Cinemax domestic premium pay television subscribers have access to the authenticated HBO GO and MAX GO streaming services, respectively, on various mobile devices and other online platforms, and an authenticated HBO GO streaming service is available to international premium pay television subscribers of HBO in a number of countries. Home Box Office generates revenues principally from providing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute such programming to their customers who subscribe to the HBO or Cinemax services. Additional sources of revenues for Home Box Office are the sale of its original programming, including Game of Thrones, True Blood and Boardwalk Empire , via DVDs, Blu-ray Discs and electronic sell-through (“EST”) and the licensing of original programming primarily to international television networks.

The Company expects that over the next several years domestic subscription revenues generated by basic cable networks and premium pay television services in the industry will grow, in connection with affiliate contract renewals, as a result of investments in high quality programming.

Film and TV Entertainment.   Time Warner’s Film and TV Entertainment segment consists of businesses managed by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (“Warner Bros.”) that principally produce and distribute feature films, television shows and videogames. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Film and TV Entertainment segment recorded Revenues of $5.622 billion (37% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $444 million.

The Film and TV Entertainment segment’s theatrical product revenues are generated principally through rental fees from theatrical exhibition of feature films, including the following recently released films: The Great Gatsby , The Hangover Part III and Man of Steel , and subsequently through licensing fees received from the distribution of films on television networks and premium pay television services. Television product revenues are generated principally from the licensing of programs to television networks and premium pay television services. The segment also generates revenues for both its theatrical and television product through home video distribution on DVD and Blu-ray Discs and in various digital formats (e.g., EST and video-on-demand) as well as through licensing of feature films and television programming to subscription video on demand (“SVOD”) services. In addition, the segment generates revenues through the development and distribution of videogames.

Warner Bros. continues to be an industry leader in the television content business. Domestically, for the 2013-2014 season, Warner Bros. expects to produce more than 50 series, with at least three series for each of the five broadcast networks (including 2 Broke Girls , Arrow , The Bachelor , The Big Bang Theory , The Following , The Middle , Mike & Molly , Person of Interest , Revolution , Two and a Half Men , Vampire Diaries and The Voice ), several original series for cable television networks (including Dallas , Longmire , Major Crimes , Pretty Little Liars and Rizzoli & Isles ) and several series for first-run syndication (including The Ellen DeGeneres Show , Extra and TMZ ). Warner Bros. also licenses many of these series internationally. In addition, Warner Bros. operates a group of local television production companies in the U.K. and the Netherlands that focus on developing non-scripted programs and formats that can be sold internationally and adapted for sale in the U.S. Warner Bros. also creates locally produced versions of programs owned by the studio as well as original local television programming.

The distribution and sale of physical discs (both standard definition DVDs and high definition Blu-ray Discs) is one of the largest contributors to the segment’s revenues and profits. In recent years, home video revenues have declined as a result of several factors, including consumers shifting to subscription rental services and discount rental kiosks, which generate significantly less revenue per transaction for the Company than physical disc sales; the general economic downturn in the U.S. and many regions around the world; increasing competition for consumer discretionary time and spending; and piracy. The electronic delivery of film and television content is growing and becoming more important to the Film and TV Entertainment segment, which has helped to offset some of the decline in sales of physical discs. In 2012 and through the first half of 2013, the decline in consumer spending on physical discs moderated compared to prior years and the growth in consumer spending on electronic delivery increased.

Publishing.   Time Warner’s Publishing segment consists principally of Time Inc.’s magazine publishing business and related websites as well as book publishing and marketing businesses. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Publishing segment recorded Revenues of $1.570 billion (11% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $115 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)

 

As of June 30, 2013, Time Inc. published 21 magazines in print in the U.S., including People , Sports Illustrated , InStyle and Time , and over 70 magazines outside the U.S. All of Time Inc.’s U.S. and U.K. magazines are available as digital editions on multiple digital devices and platforms. The Publishing segment generates revenues primarily from the sale of advertising, magazine subscriptions and newsstand sales. The Publishing segment is experiencing declines in its print advertising and newsstand sales as a result of market conditions in the magazine publishing industry. The Publishing segment is pursuing a number of initiatives (the “Publishing Segment Initiatives”) to help mitigate these declines, including conducting additional brand marketing; developing innovative ways to sell branded magazine content outside of traditional channels, including through websites, tablets and other mobile devices; developing integrated advertising solutions that will provide greater data insight and value to advertisers; developing a new cross-platform content management system; and improving its operating efficiency through management of its cost structure. In July 2013, a new chief executive officer of Time Inc. was announced. Management of Time Inc. is conducting a strategic review of its business and, as a result of the review and the input of the new chief executive officer, may make changes to the Publishing Segment Initiatives.

Recent Developments

Time Inc. Separation from Time Warner

On March 6, 2013, Time Warner announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with plans for the Time Separation. The Time Separation is currently expected to be effected as a spin-off of Time Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. In the Time Separation, Time Warner will distribute all of its Time Inc. common stock to Time Warner stockholders, and Time Inc. will become an independent publicly-traded company. The Time Separation is contingent on the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 that Time Inc. will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Time Warner expects to complete the Time Separation in early 2014.

Central European Media Enterprises Ltd.

During the second quarter of 2013, Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME”) conducted a public offering of shares of its Class A common stock in which the Company purchased approximately 28.5 million shares for approximately $78 million in cash in order to maintain a 49.9% voting interest in CME’s Class A common stock. In addition, on June 25, 2013, the Company purchased $200 million of CME’s newly-issued, non-voting Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares. The Company incurred costs of $9 million in connection with these transactions.

Prior to the second quarter of 2013, the Company accounted for its investment in CME under the cost method of accounting because CME founder and Non-Executive Chairman, Ronald S. Lauder, controlled the voting rights associated with the Company’s shares in CME pursuant to a voting agreement between the parties. During the second quarter of 2013, the voting agreement ended and the Company assumed control of the voting rights associated with its shares of Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock (which is convertible into shares of Class A common stock and votes with the Class A common stock on an as-converted basis). As a result of the end of the voting agreement with Mr. Lauder, the Company began accounting for its investment in the Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock of CME under the equity method of accounting. The Company accounts for its investment in the Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares of CME under the cost method of accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company has recast its historical financial results to reflect the presentation of its investment in the Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock of CME under the equity method of accounting for all prior periods from the date of the Company’s initial investment in CME in May 2009.

Consolidated Results

The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company’s results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revenues.   The components of Revenues are as follows (millions):

 

                                                                                                                             
     Three Months Ended    Six Months Ended

The increase in Subscription and Advertising revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 mainly reflected an increase at the Networks segment, partially offset by a decrease at the Publishing segment. The increase in Content revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to an increase at the Film and TV Entertainment segment.

Each of the revenue categories is discussed in greater detail by segment in “Business Segment Results.”

Costs of Revenues.   For the three months ended June 30, 2013, Costs of revenues increased to $4.221 billion from $3.865 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, reflecting increases at the Film and TV Entertainment and Networks segments, partially offset by a decline at the Publishing segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Costs of revenues increased to $7.971 billion from $7.841 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, reflecting increases at the Film and TV Entertainment and Networks segments, partially offset by a decline at the Publishing segment. The segment variations are discussed in “Business Segment Results.”

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.   For the three months ended June 30, 2013, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to $1.598 billion from $1.606 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily related to decreases at the Networks and Publishing segments, partially offset by increases at the Film and TV Entertainment and Corporate segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1% to $3.218 billion from $3.181 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily related to increases at the Film and TV Entertainment and Corporate segments, partly offset by a decline at the Publishing segment. The segment variations are discussed in “Business Segment Results.”

Included in Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses is depreciation expense of $157 million and $314 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $161 million and $315 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)

 

The increase in Subscription revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in domestic subscription revenues of $90 million and $183 million, respectively, driven largely by higher domestic rates as well as an increase in international subscription revenues of $7 million and $29 million, respectively, mainly reflecting subscriber growth, which was partly offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

The increase in Advertising revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 reflected domestic growth of $134 million and $146 million, respectively, mainly at Turner’s entertainment networks due to higher pricing and strong demand for sports programming, primarily the NBA and the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Men’s Basketball Championship tournament (the “NCAA Tournament”). The domestic growth for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was partially offset by the absence of revenues due to the Imagine and TNT Turkey Shutdowns.

The increase in Content revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to higher sales of original programming. Growth in Content revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was negatively impacted by the absence of revenues from Turner’s TNT television operations in Turkey, which were shut down in the second quarter of 2012.

The components of Costs of revenues for the Networks segment are as follows (millions):

Costs of revenues exclude depreciation.

The increase in Costs of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily reflected higher originals and sports programming costs, partly offset by lower other direct operating costs primarily related to a $31 million adjustment on a receivable allowance. Originals and sports programming costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased mainly due to higher costs for original series and for the NCAA Tournament, partly offset by lower impairments related to original programming. The increase in total programming costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was partly offset by the absence of programming costs related to the Imagine and TNT Turkey Shutdowns.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased due to the absence of exit and other costs related to the Imagine and TNT Turkey Shutdowns, which were $20 million and $26 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The decrease in Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was largely offset by higher marketing costs.

As previously noted under “Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included a $9 million gain that was recognized upon the Company’s acquisition of the controlling interest in HBO Nordic. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a $12 million charge related to the impairment of certain Turner international intangible assets and an $8 million charge related to Turner’s decision in the first quarter of 2013 to shut down certain of its entertainment networks in Spain. This charge consisted of a $6 million impairment related to programming assets and a $2 million charge related to exit costs. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 reflect the charges incurred in connection with the Imagine and TNT Turkey Shutdowns, including charges of $127 million and $179 million, respectively, primarily related to certain receivables, including value added tax receivables, programming assets and long-lived assets, including Goodwill, and $20 million and $26 million, respectively, of exit and other transaction costs as noted above.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Subscription revenues decreased primarily due to lower newsstand revenues of $14 million and $32 million, respectively, and, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, also due to lower domestic subscription revenues of $18 million partly from certain weekly titles having fewer issues than in the prior year period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Advertising revenues decreased primarily due to a decline in magazine advertising revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the transfer of the management of the SI.com and Golf.com websites to Time Inc. from Turner in the second quarter of 2012 had a positive effect on Advertising revenues of $12 million and a $9 million negative effect on Other revenues.

Both Subscription revenues and Advertising revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were negatively impacted by market conditions in the magazine publishing industry. The Company expects soft market conditions associated with the Publishing segment’s Subscription revenues and Advertising revenues to continue in the near term.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Other revenues increased due, in part, to revenues from the 2013 Fortune Global Forum conference.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Costs of revenues decreased due primarily to lower production costs, mainly reflecting lower paper prices and reduced print volume as well as lower editorial costs primarily associated with cost savings initiatives, including savings realized from a significant restructuring in the first quarter of 2013, which mainly consisted of headcount reductions (the “2013 Restructuring”). Other costs increased in part due to costs associated with the 2013 Fortune Global Forum conference.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to cost savings initiatives, including savings realized from the 2013 Restructuring.

As previously noted under “Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included a $42 million loss on operating assets in connection with the sale of the QSP Business.

The Publishing segment incurred $54 million in net Restructuring and severance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily in connection with the 2013 Restructuring.

Operating Income increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to lower expenses, partially offset by lower Revenues.

As a result of the Company’s decision to spin off Time Inc., the Company assessed Goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets at Time Inc. for impairment as of June 30, 2013, which did not result in any impairment. As of June 30, 2013, the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit was approximately 10% in excess of its book value. See Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation,” to the accompanying financial statements for more information. In the future, if market conditions are worse than the Company’s current expectations or if the Publishing Segment Initiatives are not successful in mitigating the declines in print advertising and newsstand sales, it is possible that the book values of the Time Inc. reporting unit and certain of its tradenames will exceed their respective fair values, which may result in the Company recognizing a noncash impairment that could be material.

Corporate.   Operating Loss of the Corporate segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (millions):

As previously noted under “Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a $7 million impairment of certain internally developed software and an $8 million gain on the disposal of certain corporate assets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Operating Loss increased due primarily to higher external costs related to mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of $7 million and $16 million, respectively, related to the separation of Time Inc. from Time Warner, and, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, also due to higher compensation expenses of $16 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses included costs related to enterprise efficiency initiatives of $12 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and $22 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The enterprise efficiency initiatives involve the centralization of certain administrative functions to generate cost savings or other benefits for the Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Management believes that cash generated by or available to the Company should be sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including scheduled debt repayments, quarterly dividend payments and the purchase of common stock under the Company’s stock repurchase program. Time Warner’s sources of cash include Cash provided by operations, Cash and equivalents on hand, available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities and commercial paper program and access to capital markets. Time Warner’s unused committed capacity at June 30, 2013 was $7.083 billion, which included $2.063 billion of Cash and equivalents.

Current Financial Condition

At June 30, 2013, Time Warner had net debt of $17.383 billion ($19.446 billion of debt less $2.063 billion of Cash and equivalents) and $29.782 billion of Shareholders’ equity, compared to net debt of $17.030 billion ($19.871 billion of debt less $2.841 billion of Cash and equivalents) and $29.796 billion of Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2012.

The following table shows the significant items contributing to the increase in net debt from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013 (millions):

 

                    

Balance at December 31, 2012

   $ 17,030

On January 31, 2013, Time Warner’s Board of Directors authorized up to $4.0 billion of share repurchases beginning January 1, 2013, including amounts available under the Company’s prior stock repurchase program as of December 31, 2012. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these purchases are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From January 1, 2013 through August 2, 2013, the Company repurchased 32 million shares of common stock for $1.824 billion pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Turner’s $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% senior notes matured on July 1, 2013, and the Company paid such amount and the accrued interest in cash on the maturity date.

Cash Flows

Cash and equivalents decreased by $778 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $1.006 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Components of these changes are discussed below in more detail.

Cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased primarily due to a decrease in Borrowings and higher Repurchases of common stock, partly offset by a decrease in Debt repayments and higher Proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued approximately 15 million shares of common stock and received $489 million in connection with the exercise of stock options. At June 30, 2013, all of the approximately 32 million exercisable stock options outstanding on such date had exercise prices below the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner” or the “Company”) is a leading media and entertainment company, whose businesses include television networks, film and TV entertainment and publishing. Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks : consisting principally of cable television networks, premium pay and basic tier television services and digital media properties; Film and TV Entertainment : consisting principally of feature film, television, home video and videogame production and distribution; and Publishing : consisting principally of magazine publishing and related websites as well as book publishing and marketing businesses. Financial information for Time Warner’s various reportable segments is presented in Note 12, “Segment Information.” See Note 2, “Business Dispositions,” for information regarding the separation of the Publishing segment from Time Warner.

Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all of the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Time Warner included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”).

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of entities in which Time Warner has a controlling interest (“subsidiaries”). Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial position and operating results of most of the Company’s foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains or losses on assets and liabilities are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.

Recast of Historical Financial Results – CME Investment

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company recast its historical financial results to reflect the presentation of its investment in the Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock (which is convertible into Class A common stock and votes with the Class A common stock on an as-adjusted basis) of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME”) under the equity method of accounting for all prior periods from the date of the Company’s initial investment in CME in May 2009. For more information, see Note 3, “Investments.”

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the June 30, 2013 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

26


Table of Contents

TIME WARNER INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Significant estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for asset impairments, multiple-element transactions, allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, the determination of ultimate revenues as it relates to amortization of capitalized film and programming costs and participations and residuals, home video and videogames product and magazine returns, business combinations, pension and other postretirement benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies, litigation matters, reporting revenue for certain transactions on a gross versus net basis, and the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of entities in which it holds variable interests.

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2013

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted guidance on a retrospective basis requiring disclosure of the line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations affected by reclassification adjustments out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 7, “Shareholders’ Equity.”

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted guidance on a retrospective basis requiring disclosure of additional information about the Company’s ability to offset certain financial instruments, specifically derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 6, “Derivative Instruments.”

Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustments

On January 1, 2013, the Company early adopted guidance on a prospective basis that requires the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) related to a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity to be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in that subsidiary or group of assets and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For the sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment will be recognized in earnings upon the sale of the investment. CTA will also be recognized in earnings in a step acquisition transaction. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Interim Impairment Testing of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets at Time Inc.

As discussed in more detail in Note 1, “Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Policies,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Form 10-K, Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, do not require that an annual impairment test be performed. Instead, long-lived assets are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. As a result of the Company’s decision to spin off Time Inc., the Company assessed Goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets at Time Inc. for impairment as of June 30, 2013.

The June 30, 2013 impairment test did not result in an impairment of Goodwill at Time Inc. since the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. Had the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit been less than its carrying value, the Company would have been required to perform the second step of the impairment review process to determine the ultimate amount of the impairment loss to record. The significant assumptions utilized in the impairment test included a discount rate of 11.5% and a terminal growth rate of 2.5%.

Additionally, the impairment test did not result in any impairments of indefinite-lived intangible assets at Time Inc. since the estimated fair value of such assets exceeded their respective carrying values. To illustrate the magnitude of potential impairment relative to future changes in estimated fair values, had the fair values of certain tradenames at Time Inc. with an aggregate carrying value of $539 million been hypothetically lower by 10% as of June 30, 2013, the aggregate carrying values of certain of those tradenames would have exceeded fair values by $34 million. The significant assumptions utilized in the impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets included a discount rate of 12.0% and a terminal growth rate of 2.5%.

TIME WARNER INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

The impairment test for long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, was based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows based on the use of the assets for their remaining useful life assuming the disposition transaction (i.e., the spin-off of the Publishing segment) does not occur. The impairment test did not result in any impairments of long-lived assets. In addition, in conducting its impairment test, the Company considered trading multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. For more information regarding the separation of Time Inc. from Time Warner, see Note 2, “Business Dispositions.”

 

2. BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS

Time Inc. Separation from Time Warner

On March 6, 2013, Time Warner announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with plans for the complete legal and structural separation of the Company’s Publishing segment from Time Warner (the “Time Separation”). The Time Separation is currently expected to be effected as a spin-off of Time Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. In the Time Separation, Time Warner will distribute all of its Time Inc. common stock to Time Warner stockholders, and Time Inc. will become an independent publicly-traded company. The Time Separation is contingent on the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 that Time Inc. will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Time Warner expects to complete the Time Separation in early 2014.

 

3. INVESTMENTS

CME

CME is a publicly-traded broadcasting company operating leading networks in six Central and Eastern European countries. During the second quarter of 2013, CME conducted a public offering of shares of its Class A common stock in which the Company purchased approximately 28.5 million shares for approximately $78 million in cash. As of June 30, 2013, the Company owned 61.4 million shares of CME’s Class A common stock and 1 share of Series A convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into 11.2 million shares of CME’s Class A common stock and votes with the Class A common stock on an as-converted basis. The combination of these holdings provide the Company with a 49.9% voting interest in CME’s common stock.

Since the Company’s initial investment in CME in May 2009, CME founder and Non-Executive Chairman Ronald S. Lauder had controlled the voting rights associated with the Company’s shares in CME pursuant to a voting agreement between the parties. During the second quarter of 2013, the voting agreement ended and the Company assumed control of the voting rights associated with its shares of Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock. Prior to the second quarter of 2013, the Company accounted for its investment in CME under the cost method of accounting. However, as a result of the end of the voting agreement with Mr. Lauder, the Company began accounting for its investment in the Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock of CME under the equity method of accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company has recast its historical financial results to reflect the presentation of its investment in the Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock of CME under the equity method of accounting for all prior periods from the date of the Company’s initial investment in CME in May 2009. The recast resulted in an increase in net income of $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and a decrease in net income of $5 million, $17 million, $16 million and $56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

In addition, on June 25, 2013, the Company purchased $200 million of CME’s newly-issued, non-voting Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares. The Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares will accrete in value through the third anniversary of closing at an annual rate of 7.5% compounded quarterly and from the third anniversary to the fifth anniversary of closing at an annual rate of 3.75% compounded quarterly. Thereafter, the Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares will no longer accrete in value. CME has the right from the third anniversary to pay a cash dividend to the Company in lieu of further accretion. Each Series B convertible redeemable preferred share may be converted into shares of

Class A common stock at the Company’s option at any time after the third anniversary of the closing. The number of shares of Class A common stock received upon conversion would be determined by dividing the accreted value of the Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares (including any accrued but unpaid dividends) by the conversion price of $3.1625. The Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares will also be redeemable at the option of CME at any time after the third anniversary of the closing; however, upon notice from CME of a proposed redemption, the Company may elect to receive cash or shares of Class A common stock. The Company accounts for its investment in the Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares of CME under the cost method of accounting.

 

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

A fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). The following table presents information about assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (millions):

Consists of investments related to deferred compensation.

The Company primarily applies the market approach for valuing recurring fair value measurements. During the second quarter of 2013, approximately $13 million of certain available-for-sale debt securities classified within Level 2 were transferred into available-for-sale equity securities and classified within Level 1 due to the initial public offering of the investee. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) primarily consist of an asset related to equity instruments held by employees of a former subsidiary of the Company, liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of net derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and identifies the total gains (losses) the Company recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, on such assets and liabilities that were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (millions):

Other Financial Instruments

The Company’s other financial instruments, including debt, are not required to be carried at fair value. Based on the interest rates prevailing at June 30, 2013, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $2.879 billion and, based on interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2012, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $4.622 billion. The fair value of Time Warner’s debt was considered a Level 2 measurement as it was based on observable market inputs such as current interest rates and, where available, actual sales transactions. Unrealized gains or losses on debt do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash and generally are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements unless the debt is retired prior to its maturity. The carrying value for the majority of the Company’s other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments or because the financial instruments are of a longer-term nature and are recorded on a discounted basis. For the remainder of the Company’s other financial instruments, differences between the carrying value and fair value were not significant at June 30, 2013. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market. In cases where a quoted market value is not available, fair value is based on an estimate using present value or other valuation techniques.

Non-Financial Instruments

The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include goodwill, intangible assets, inventories and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial instrument be recorded at the lower of cost or its fair value.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company was required to perform an impairment review of certain long-lived assets at a Turner international subsidiary. As a result of its review, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $12 million to write down the value of certain intangible assets to zero. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company was required to perform an impairment review of certain long-lived assets at Imagine, Turner’s general entertainment network in India. As a result of its review, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $19 million to write down the value of certain long-lived assets, primarily intangible assets, to zero. In both periods, the resulting fair value measurements were considered to be Level 3 measurements and were determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology with assumptions for cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposition of the assets.

In determining the fair value of its theatrical films, the Company employs a DCF methodology that includes cash flow estimates of a film’s ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF analysis is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the respective business (e.g., Warner Bros.) plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular theatrical film. The fair value of any theatrical film and television production that management plans to abandon is zero. As the primary determination of fair value is determined using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement. The following table presents certain theatrical film and television production costs, which were recorded as inventory in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, that were written down to fair value (millions):

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Time Warner uses derivative instruments, principally forward contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and changes in fair value resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The principal currencies being hedged include the British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Time Warner uses foreign exchange contracts that generally have maturities of three to 18 months to hedge various foreign exchange exposures, including the following: (i) variability in foreign-currency-denominated cash flows, such as the hedges of unremitted or forecasted royalty and license fees owed to Time Warner’s domestic companies for the sale or anticipated sale of U.S. copyrighted products abroad or cash flows for certain film production costs denominated in a foreign currency (i.e., cash flow hedges) and (ii) currency risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated operating assets and liabilities (i.e., fair value hedges). For these qualifying hedge relationships, the Company excludes the impact of forward points from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. As a result, changes in the fair value of forward points are recorded in Other loss, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations each quarter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

The Company also enters into derivative contracts that economically hedge certain of its foreign currency risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. These economic hedges are used primarily to offset the change in certain foreign currency denominated long-term receivables and certain foreign-currency-denominated debt due to changes in the underlying foreign exchange rates.

Gains and losses from hedging activities recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, including hedge ineffectiveness, were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. In addition, such gains and losses were largely offset by corresponding economic gains or losses from the respective transactions that were hedged.

The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to its financial transactions and has entered into collateral agreements with certain of these counterparties to further protect the Company in the event of deterioration of the credit quality of such counterparties on outstanding transactions. Additionally, netting provisions are included in agreements in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. The Company offsets the fair values of the foreign exchange derivatives contracts executed with the same counterparty and classifies that amount as a net asset or net liability within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following is a summary of amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet pertaining to Time Warner’s use of foreign currency derivatives at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (millions):

 

                                         
     June 30, 2013 (a)      December 31,
2012 (b)
 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

   $ 17       $  

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

     (7)         (31)   

 

 

 

(a)

Includes $81 million ($50 million of qualifying hedges and $31 million of economic hedges) and $71 million ($52 million of qualifying hedges and $19 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively.

(b)  

Includes $79 million ($69 million of qualifying hedges and $10 million of economic hedges) and $101 million ($81 million of qualifying hedges and $20 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $18 million and $19 million of gains, respectively, related to cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net and are expected to be recognized in earnings at the same time the hedged items affect earnings. Included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net are deferred net gains of $11 million and $8 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, related to hedges of cash flows associated with films that are not expected to be released within the next twelve months.

 

7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Repurchase Program

In January 2013, Time Warner’s Board of Directors authorized up to $4.0 billion of share repurchases beginning January 1, 2013, including amounts available under the Company’s prior stock repurchase program as of December 31, 2012. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these purchases are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.

From January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 27 million shares of common stock for approximately $1.507 billion pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of June 30, 2013, $2.493 billion was remaining under the stock repurchase program.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and consists of Net income and other gains and losses affecting shareholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from Net income. For Time Warner, such items consist primarily of foreign currency translation gains (losses), unrealized gains and losses on certain derivative financial instruments and equity securities, and changes in benefit plan obligations.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

Six Flags

In connection with the Company’s former investment in the Six Flags theme parks located in Georgia and Texas (collectively, the “Parks”), in 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company (including Historic TW and, in connection with the separation of Time Warner Cable Inc. (“TWC”) in 2009, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.) agreed to guarantee (the “Six Flags Guarantee”) certain obligations of the partnerships that hold the Parks (the “Partnerships”) for the benefit of the limited partners in such Partnerships, including: annual payments made at the Parks or to the limited partners and additional obligations at the end of the respective terms for the Partnerships in 2027 and 2028 (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The aggregate undiscounted estimated future cash flow requirements covered by the Six Flags Guarantee over the remaining term (through 2028) are $966 million (for a net present value of $414 million). To date, no payments have been made by the Company pursuant to the Six Flags Guarantee.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (formerly known as Six Flags, Inc. and Premier Parks Inc.) (“Six Flags”), which has the controlling interest in the Parks, has agreed, pursuant to a subordinated indemnity agreement (the “Subordinated Indemnity Agreement”), to guarantee the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations when due and to indemnify Historic TW, among others, if the Six Flags Guarantee is called upon. If Six Flags defaults in its indemnification obligations, Historic TW has the right to acquire control of the managing partner of the Parks. Six Flags’ obligations to Historic TW are further secured by its interest in all limited partnership units held by Six Flags.

Because the Six Flags Guarantee existed prior to December 31, 2002 and no modifications to the arrangements have been made since the date the guarantee came into existence, the Company is required to continue to account for the Guaranteed Obligations as a contingent liability. Based on its evaluation of the current facts and circumstances surrounding the Guaranteed Obligations and the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement, the Company is unable to predict the loss, if any, that may be incurred under the Guaranteed Obligations, and no liability for the arrangements has been recognized at June 30, 2013. Because of the specific circumstances surrounding the arrangements and the fact that no active or observable market exists for this type of financial guarantee, the Company is unable to determine a current fair value for the Guaranteed Obligations and related Subordinated Indemnity Agreement.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in or parties to various legal claims, actions and proceedings. These claims, actions and proceedings are at varying stages of investigation, arbitration or adjudication, and involve a variety of areas of law.

On October 8, 2004, certain heirs of Jerome Siegel, one of the creators of the “Superman” character, filed suit against the Company, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks an accounting and demands up to one-half of the profits made on Superman since the alleged April 16, 1999 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel’s grants of one-half of the rights to the Superman character to DC Comics’ predecessor-in-interest. Plaintiffs have also asserted various Lanham Act and unfair competition claims, alleging “wasting” of the Superman property by DC Comics, and the Company has filed counterclaims. On March 26, 2008, the court entered an order of summary judgment finding, among other things, that plaintiffs’ notices of termination were valid and that plaintiffs had thereby recaptured, as of April 16, 1999, their rights to a one-half interest in the Superman story material, as first published, but that the accounting for profits would not include profits attributable to foreign exploitation, republication of pre-termination works and trademark exploitation. On January 10, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court’s decision to grant summary judgment in plaintiffs’ favor, holding that the parties reached a binding settlement agreement in 2001, and directed the district court to reconsider its ruling on DC Comics’ counterclaims challenging the validity of the plaintiffs’ termination notices. On February 7, 2013, DC Comics filed a motion for summary judgment in this lawsuit and the related Superboy lawsuit on its counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment that the plaintiffs had transferred the rights to the Superman and Superboy characters to DC Comics pursuant to the settlement agreement entered into in 2001. By orders dated March 20, 2013, April 18, 2013, and June 18, 2013 the district court, among other things, granted DC Comics’ motion for summary judgment and entered final judgment in this lawsuit and the related Superboy lawsuit, described below, in DC Comics’ favor, ruling that the plaintiffs had transferred any and all rights in the Superman and Superboy properties to DC Comics in 2001 pursuant to a binding settlement agreement. On July 16, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the final judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

On October 22, 2004, the same Siegel heirs filed a related lawsuit against the same defendants, as well as Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs claim that Siegel was the sole creator of the character Superboy and, as such, DC Comics has had no right to create new Superboy works since the alleged October 17, 2004 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel’s grants of rights to the Superboy character to DC Comics’ predecessor-in-interest. This lawsuit seeks a declaration regarding the validity of the alleged termination and an injunction against future use of the Superboy character. As described in the paragraph above regarding the Superman lawsuit, by orders dated April 18, 2013 and June 18, 2013, the district court, among other things, entered final judgment in DC Comics’ favor, ruling that the plaintiffs had transferred any and all rights in the Superman and Superboy properties to DC Comics in 2001 pursuant to a binding settlement agreement. On July 16, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the final judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

On May 14, 2010, DC Comics filed a related lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joseph Shuster, the Siegel heirs, their attorney Marc Toberoff and certain companies that Mr. Toberoff controls. The lawsuit asserts a claim for declaratory relief concerning the validity and scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs, which, together with the termination notices served by the Siegel heirs described above, purports to preclude DC Comics from creating new Superman and/or Superboy works for distribution and sale in the United States after October 26, 2013. The lawsuit also asserts state law-based claims, including seeking declaratory relief with respect to, inter alia, the validity of various agreements between Mr. Toberoff, his companies and the Shuster and Siegel heirs, and claims for intentional interference by Mr. Toberoff with DC Comics’ contracts and prospective economic advantage with the Shuster and Siegel heirs, for which DC Comics seeks monetary damages. On October 25, 2011, defendants’ motion to strike certain causes of action was denied. On November 2, 2011, defendants appealed the denial to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On July 16, 2012, DC Comics filed a motion for partial summary judgment on two of its asserted claims – the validity of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs and that the agreements referenced above interfered with DC Comics’ rights under the copyright termination provisions. On August 20, 2012, defendants also filed a motion for partial summary judgment on these two claims, as well as on DC Comics’ asserted claim concerning the scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs. On October 17, 2012, the district court granted DC Comics’ motion for partial summary judgment, holding that, among other things, the Shuster heirs’ termination notice is invalid, and denying defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment. On December 11, 2012, defendants filed a notice of appeal of the district court’s ruling with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On February 4, 2013, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on DC Comics’ state law claims, and DC Comics cross-moved for summary judgment on these claims. On April 4, 2013, the district court granted defendants’ motion on the intentional interference claims and denied without prejudice the motions on the unfair competition-based claim pending resolution of the appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

On April 4, 2007, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) issued a complaint against CNN America Inc. (“CNN America”) and Team Video Services, LLC (“Team Video”). This administrative proceeding relates to CNN America’s December 2003 and January 2004 terminations of its contractual relationships with Team Video, under which Team Video had provided electronic newsgathering services in Washington, DC and New York, NY. The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, under which Team Video’s employees were unionized, initially filed charges of unfair labor practices with the NLRB in February 2004, alleging that CNN America and Team Video were joint employers, that CNN America was a successor employer to Team Video, and/or that CNN America discriminated in its hiring practices to avoid becoming a successor employer or due to specific individuals’ union affiliation or activities. The NLRB complaint seeks, among other things, the reinstatement of certain union members and monetary damages. On November 19, 2008, the presiding NLRB Administrative Law Judge issued a non-binding recommended decision, finding CNN America liable. On February 17, 2009, CNN America filed exceptions to this decision with the NLRB.

On March 10, 2009, Anderson News L.L.C. and Anderson Services L.L.C. (collectively, “Anderson News”) filed an antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against several magazine publishers, distributors and wholesalers, including Time Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, Time/Warner Retail Sales & Marketing, Inc. Plaintiffs allege that defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by engaging in an antitrust conspiracy against Anderson News, as well as other related state law claims. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages. On August 2, 2010, the court granted defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint with prejudice and, on October 25, 2010, the court denied Anderson News’ motion for reconsideration of that dismissal. On November 8, 2010, Anderson News appealed and, on April 3, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the district court’s dismissal of the complaint and remanded the case to the district court. On January 7, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court denied defendants’ petition for writ of certiorari to review the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacating the district court’s dismissal of the complaint. The case continues to proceed before the district court.

In April 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) Appeals Division issued a notice of deficiency to the Company relating to the appropriate tax characterization of stock warrants received from a third party in 2002. On May 6, 2013, the Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court seeking a redetermination of the deficiency set forth in the notice. The Company’s petition asserts that the IRS erred in determining that the stock warrants were taxable upon exercise (in 2004) rather than at the date of grant based on, among other things, a misapplication of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code. Should the IRS prevail in this litigation, the additional tax payable by the Company would be approximately $70 million.

The Company intends to vigorously defend against or prosecute, as applicable, the matters described above.

The Company establishes an accrued liability for legal claims when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters.

For matters disclosed above for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, whether in excess of an accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company has estimated a range of possible loss. The Company believes the estimate of the aggregate range of possible loss in excess of accrued liabilities for such matters is between $0 and $65 million at June 30, 2013. The estimated aggregate range of possible loss is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions. The matters represented in the estimated aggregate range of possible loss will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and claims, the Company often cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be. An adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

Income Tax Uncertainties

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded net decreases to income tax reserves of approximately $72 million, of which approximately $38 million impacted the Company’s effective tax rate. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded decreases to interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $12 million.

In the Company’s judgment, uncertainties related to certain tax matters are reasonably possible of being resolved during the next twelve months. The effect of such resolution, which could vary based on the final terms and timing of actual settlements with taxing authorities, is estimated to be a reduction of recorded unrecognized tax benefits ranging from $20 million to $650 million, most of which would decrease the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into certain transactions in the ordinary course of business with unconsolidated investees accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These transactions have been executed on terms comparable to the terms of transactions with unrelated third parties and primarily include the licensing of broadcast rights to The CW broadcast network for television product by the Film and TV Entertainment segment and the licensing of rights to carry cable television programming provided by the Networks segment. Amounts resulting from transactions with related parties consist of (millions):

Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements

The Company’s collaborative arrangements primarily relate to arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions (“co-financing arrangements”) and the arrangement entered into with CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (“CBS”) and The National Collegiate Athletic Association (the “NCAA”) that provides Turner and CBS with exclusive television, Internet and wireless rights to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship events (the “NCAA Tournament”) in the United States and its territories and possessions from 2011 through 2024.

For the Company’s collaborative arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions, net participation costs of $155 million and $93 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $243 million and $170 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The aggregate programming rights fee, production costs, advertising revenues and sponsorship revenues related to the NCAA Tournament and related programming are shared equally by Turner and CBS. However, if the amount paid for the programming rights fee and production costs, in any given year, exceeds advertising and sponsorship revenues for that year, CBS’ share of such shortfall is limited to specified annual amounts (the “loss cap”), ranging from approximately $90 million to $30 million. The amount incurred by the Company pursuant to the loss cap during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was not significant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Overview

Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of (i) Time Warner Inc. (the “Parent Company”), (ii) Historic TW Inc. (in its own capacity and as successor by merger to Time Warner Companies, Inc.), Home Box Office, Inc., and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), on a combined basis, (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”), on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner Inc. on a consolidated basis. The Guarantor Subsidiaries, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee securities issued under certain of the Company’s indentures on an unsecured basis.

There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Company’s ability to obtain funds from any of its wholly owned subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.

Basis of Presentation

In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Company’s interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.”

The Parent Company’s accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets, have been “pushed down” to the applicable subsidiaries. Corporate overhead expenses have been reflected as expenses of the Parent Company and have not been allocated to the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Interest income (expense) is determined based on third-party debt and the relevant intercompany amounts within the respective legal entity.

All direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries are included in Time Warner Inc.’s consolidated U.S. tax return. In the condensed consolidating financial statements, tax expense has been allocated based on each such subsidiary’s relative pretax income to the consolidated pretax income. With respect to the use of certain consolidated tax attributes (principally operating and capital loss carryforwards), such benefits have been allocated to the respective subsidiary that generated the taxable income permitting such use (i.e., pro-rata based on where the income was generated). For example, to the extent a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary generated a gain on the sale of a business for which the Parent Company utilized tax attributes to offset such gain, the tax attribute benefit would be allocated to that Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Deferred taxes of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been allocated based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.

Certain transfers of cash between subsidiaries and their parent companies and intercompany dividends are reflected as cash flows from investing and financing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidating statements of cash flows. All other intercompany activity is reflected in cash flows from operations.

Management believes that the allocations and adjustments noted above are reasonable. However, such allocations and adjustments may not be indicative of the actual amounts that would have been incurred had the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries operated independently.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The following information supplements and amends the disclosure set forth in Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”), as well as the disclosure set forth in Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings, and in Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 (the “March 2013 Form 10-Q”).

Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by certain heirs of Jerome Siegel regarding the character Superman described on page 35 of the 2012 Form 10-K and page 46 of the March 2013 Form 10-Q. By orders dated March 20, 2013, April 18, 2013 and June 18, 2013, the district court, among other things, granted DC Comics’ motion for summary judgment and entered final judgment in this lawsuit and the related Superboy lawsuit in DC Comics’ favor, ruling that the plaintiffs had transferred any and all rights in the Superman and Superboy properties to DC Comics in 2001 pursuant to a binding settlement agreement. On July 16, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the final judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by the same Siegel heirs regarding the character Superboy described on pages 35-36 of the 2012 Form 10-K and page 46 of the March 2013 Form 10-Q. By orders dated April 18, 2013 and June 18, 2013, the district court, among other things, entered final judgment in DC Comics’ favor, ruling that the plaintiffs had transferred any and all rights in the Superman and Superboy properties to DC Comics in 2001 pursuant to a binding settlement agreement. On July 16, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the final judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

In April 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) Appeals Division issued a notice of deficiency to the Company relating to the appropriate tax characterization of stock warrants received from a third party in 2002. On May 6, 2013, the Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court seeking a redetermination of the deficiency set forth in the notice. The Company’s petition asserts that the IRS erred in determining that the stock warrants were taxable upon exercise (in 2004) rather than at the date of grant based on, among other things, a misapplication of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of the 2012 Form 10-K.

Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made, from time to time, on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions.

In the past, the Company has repurchased shares of its common stock pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and it may repurchase shares of its common stock utilizing such trading plans in the future.

  k) Shares ” means shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

  l) Vesting Date ” means each vesting date set forth in the Notice.

 

2. Grant of Restricted Stock Units . The Company hereby grants to the Participant (the “ Award ”), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the number of RSUs set forth on the Notice. Each RSU represents the unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive a Share on the Vesting Date(s) specified herein, subject to the terms, conditions and Section 162(m) performance-based vesting requirements set forth herein. RSUs do not constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for any corporate purposes and do not confer on the Participant any right to vote on matters that are submitted to a vote of holders of Shares.

 

3. Dividend Equivalents, Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions . If on any date while RSUs are outstanding hereunder the Company shall pay any regular cash dividend on the Shares, (i) if the Committee has certified that the Performance Target has been satisfied, in accordance with Section 9(b) of the Plan, then, for each RSU held by the Participant on the record date, the Participant shall be paid an amount of cash equal to the dividend paid on a Share (the “ Dividend Equivalents ”) or (ii) if the Committee has not yet certified that the Performance Target has been satisfied, in accordance with Section 9(b) of the Plan, then, for each RSU held by the Participant on the record date, the Participant shall be credited with a bookkeeping entry in an amount equal to the dividend paid on a Share (the “ Retained Dividend Equivalents ”), with such payment or crediting, as applicable, made at the time that such dividends are paid to holders of Shares. If on any date while RSUs are outstanding hereunder the Company shall pay any dividend other than a regular cash dividend or make any other distribution on the Shares, the Participant shall be credited with a bookkeeping entry equivalent to such dividend or distribution for each RSU held by the Participant on the record date for such dividend or distribution, but the Company shall retain custody of all such dividends and distributions unless the Board has in its sole discretion determined that an amount equivalent to such dividend or distribution shall be paid currently to the Participant (the “ Retained Distributions ”); provided , however , that if the Retained Distribution relates to a dividend paid in Shares, the Participant shall receive an additional amount of RSUs equal to the product of (I) the aggregate number of RSUs held by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement through the related dividend record date, multiplied by (II) the number of Shares (including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on a Share. Retained Distributions and Retained Dividend Equivalents will not bear interest and will be subject to the same restrictions as the RSUs to which they relate. Unless they are forfeited pursuant to Section 4(b), the Retained Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant promptly, but not more than 60 days, after the Committee certifies that the Performance Target for such RSUs has been achieved, in accordance with Section 9(b) of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this paragraph 3, no payment of Dividend Equivalents, Retained Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions shall occur before the first date on which a payment could be made without subjecting the Participant to tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”).

 

3


4. Vesting and Delivery of Vested Securities .

 

  a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7, the vesting of the RSUs in the Award and any Retained Distributions relating thereto shall occur only if (i) the Participant has continued in Employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates on the Vesting Date and has continuously been so employed since the Date of Grant (as defined in the Notice) and (ii) the Performance Target for the Performance Period has been achieved, as certified by the Committee in accordance with Section 9(b) of the Plan. Subject to the requirements and limitations in the immediately preceding sentence and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, no later than 60 days after the later of (x) each Vesting Date with respect to the Award and (y) the certification by the Committee of the achievement of the Performance Target, the Company shall issue or transfer to the Participant the number of Shares corresponding to such Vesting Date and the Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions, if any, covered by that portion of the Award.

 

  b) Section 162(m) Vesting Requirement. The Award is subject to performance vesting requirements based on the achievement of the Performance Target for the Performance Period and the certification of achievement of such Performance Target by the Committee pursuant to Section 9(b) of the Plan. The Performance Target shall be established by the Committee for the Award no later than 90 days following the beginning of the Performance Period that applies to the Award. If the Performance Target for the Award is not satisfied, all of the RSUs in the Award and any Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions will be forfeited immediately, including any RSUs in the Award and any Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions related thereto with respect to which a Vesting Date occurred on or before the date the Committee determined the Performance Target was not satisfied. The Performance Period shall be (i) the calendar year in which the Award is granted if the Award is granted prior to April 1 or (ii) the first full calendar year ending after the grant of the Award if the Award is granted on or after April 1.

 

  c) RSUs Extinguished . Upon each issuance or transfer of Shares in accordance with this Agreement, a number of RSUs equal to the number of Shares issued or transferred to the Participant shall be extinguished and such number of RSUs will not be considered to be held by the Participant for any purpose.

 

  d) Final Issuance . Upon the final issuance or transfer of Shares, Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions, if any, to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement, in lieu of a fractional Share, the Participant shall receive a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share.

 

4


  e) Section 409A . Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, no Shares shall be issued or transferred to a Participant before the first date on which a payment could be made without subjecting the Participant to tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

 

5. Termination of Employment .

 

  (a) If the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by the Participant for any reason other than those described in clauses (b), (c) and (d) below prior to the Vesting Date with respect to any portion of the Award, then the RSUs covered by any such portion of the Award and all Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions relating thereto shall be completely forfeited on the date of any such termination, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate.

 

  (b) If the Participant’s Employment terminates as a result of his or her death or Disability, then, to the extent the RSUs were not extinguished or forfeited prior to such termination of Employment, the RSUs and all Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions relating thereto shall fully vest on the date of any such termination, and Shares subject to the RSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Participant (along with the Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions relating thereto) as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days, following such termination of Employment.

 

  (c) If the Participant’s Employment (i) terminates as a result of his or her Retirement or (ii) is terminated by the Company and its Affiliates for any reason other than for Cause (x) on a date when the Participant satisfies the requirements for Retirement or (y) on a date when the Participant does not satisfy the requirements for Retirement, but the Participant would satisfy the requirements for Retirement during a Severance Period, then the RSUs and all Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions relating thereto shall, to the extent the RSUs were not extinguished or forfeited prior to such termination of Employment, fully vest on the later of (A) the date of such termination of Employment and (B) the certification by the Committee of the achievement of the Performance Target; and Shares subject to the RSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Participant (along with the Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions relating thereto) as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days, following such termination of Employment or Committee certification, whichever is applicable. If the Participant’s Employment terminates prior to the certification of achievement of the Performance Target by the Committee and the Performance Target is not satisfied, then the RSUs and any Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions related thereto shall be forfeited immediately upon the Committee’s determination.

 

  (d)

If the Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Company and its Affiliates for any reason other than for Cause (unless such termination is due to death or Disability) on a date when the Participant does not satisfy the requirements for

 

5


 

Retirement and the Participant would not satisfy the requirements for Retirement by the end of a Severance Period, then, subject to achievement of the Performance Target, the RSUs that were scheduled to vest on any Vesting Dates that occur before the end of a Severance Period, and any Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions relating thereto, shall, to the extent the RSUs were not extinguished or forfeited prior to such termination of Employment, become vested, and Shares subject to such RSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Participant (along with the Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions relating thereto) as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days, following the later of (x) such termination of Employment and (y) the certification by the Committee of the achievement of the Performance Target. The portion of the RSUs that have a Vesting Date after the end of a Severance Period and any Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions related thereto shall be completely forfeited on the date of any such termination. If the Participant’s Employment is terminated prior to the certification of achievement of the Performance Target by the Committee and the Performance Target is not satisfied, then the RSUs and any Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions related thereto shall be forfeited immediately upon the Committee’s determination.

For purposes of this paragraph 5, a temporary leave of absence shall not constitute a termination of Employment or a failure to be continuously employed by the Company or any Affiliate regardless of the Participant’s payroll status during such leave of absence if such leave of absence is approved in writing by the Company or any Affiliate; provided, that such leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence and not a Separation From Service under Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h)(1)(i). Notice of any such approved leave of absence should be sent to the Company at One Time Warner Center, New York, New York 10019, attention: Director, Global Stock Plans Administration, but such notice shall not be required for the leave of absence to be considered approved.

In the event the Participant’s Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated, the Participant shall have no claim against the Company with respect to the RSUs and related Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions, if any, other than as set forth in this paragraph 5, the provisions of this paragraph 5 being the sole remedy of the Participant with respect thereto.

 

6.

Acceleration of Vesting Date . In the event a Change in Control, subject to paragraph 7, has occurred, to the extent that any such occurrence also constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code (a “ 409A Change of Control Event ”), (A) the Award will vest in full upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the one-year period immediately following the Change in Control, provided the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates has not terminated, (ii) the original Vesting Date with respect to each portion of the Award, or (iii) the termination of the Participant’s Employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates (I) by the Company other than for Cause (unless such termination is due to death or Disability) or (II) by the Participant for Good Reason and (B) Shares subject to

 

6


 

the RSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Participant, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days following such Vesting Date, along with the Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions related thereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any such occurrence does not constitute a 409A Change of Control Event, the RSUs shall vest as described under this paragraph 6, but the issuance of Shares shall be made at the times otherwise provided hereunder as if no Change of Control had occurred. In the event of any such vesting as described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, the date described in such clauses shall be treated as the Vesting Date.

 

7. Limitation on Acceleration . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, if the Payment (as hereinafter defined) due to the Participant hereunder as a result of the acceleration of vesting of the RSUs pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement, either alone or together with all other Payments received or to be received by the Participant from the Company or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “ Aggregate Payments ”), or any portion thereof, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor thereto), the following provisions shall apply:

 

  a) If the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes on the Aggregate Payments are paid would be greater than the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes are paid if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the Aggregate Payments.

 

  b) If, however, the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes were paid would be greater if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Aggregate Payments to which the Participant is entitled shall be reduced to such largest amount.

The term “ Payment ” shall mean any transfer of property within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

The determination of whether any reduction of Aggregate Payments is required and the timing and method of any such required reduction in Payments under this Agreement or in any such other Payments otherwise payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates consistent with any such required reduction, shall be made by the Participant, including whether any portion of such reduction shall be applied against any cash or any shares of stock of the Company or any other securities or property to which the Participant would otherwise have been entitled under this Agreement or under any such other Payments, and whether to waive the right to the acceleration of the Payment due under this Agreement or any portion thereof or under any such other Payments or portions thereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its Affiliates. To the extent that Payments hereunder or any such other Payments are not paid as a consequence of the limitation contained in this paragraph 7, then the RSUs and

Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions related thereto (to the extent not so accelerated) and such other Payments (to the extent not vested) shall be deemed to remain outstanding and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan as if no acceleration or vesting had occurred.

  a) Obligation to Pay Withholding Taxes . The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (the “ Tax-Related Items ”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant (i) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and (ii) may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Participant’s employer. The Participant further agrees and acknowledges that the Company and the Participant’s employer (x) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Award, the vesting of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired from vesting of the RSUs, and the receipt of any Dividend Equivalents, Retained Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions; and (y) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, the Participant understands and acknowledges that if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Company and/or the Participant’s employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares subject to the RSUs or to pay any Dividend Equivalents, Retained Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions shall be subject to payment of all Tax-Related Items by the Participant.

applicable, any Tax-Related Items due as a result of such taxable event. The Company or the Participant’s employer shall have the right to withhold from any payment in respect of RSUs, transfer of Shares acquired at vesting, or payment made to the Participant or to any person hereunder, whether such payment is to be made in cash or in Shares, all Tax-Related Items as shall be required, in the determination of the Company, pursuant to any statute or governmental regulation or ruling. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or the Participant’s employer, in their sole discretion, may satisfy such withholding obligation by any one or a combination of the following methods:

  (ii) by requiring or allowing the Participant to pay the amount required to be withheld in cash or by check;

 

  (iii) by deducting the amount required to be withheld from the Participant’s current compensation or other amounts payable to the Participant;

 

  (iv) by allowing the Participant to surrender other Shares that (A) in the case of Shares initially acquired from the Company (upon exercise of a stock option or otherwise), have been owned by the Participant for such period (if any) as may be required to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings, and (B) have a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the amount required to be withheld;

 

  (v) by withholding a number of Shares to be issued upon delivery of Shares that have a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld;

 

  (vi) by selling any Shares to the extent required to pay the amount required to be withheld; or

 

  (vii) by such other means or method as the Committee in its sole discretion and without notice to the Participant deems appropriate.

9


       The Company will not issue any Shares to the Participant until the Participant satisfies the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items. If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

  c) Compliance with Applicable Laws . The Committee may also require the Participant to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions on the sale or transfer of the Shares as it deems appropriate.

The Award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions as provided in this Agreement and in the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan (generally relating to adjustments to the number of Shares subject to the Award, upon certain changes in capitalization and certain reorganizations and other transactions).

 

10. Forfeiture . A breach of any of the foregoing restrictions or a breach of any of the other restrictions, terms and conditions of the Plan or this Agreement, with respect to any of the RSUs or any Dividend Equivalents, Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions relating thereto, except as waived by the Board or the Committee, will cause a forfeiture of such RSUs, Retained Dividend Equivalents and any Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions relating thereto.

 

11. Right of Company to Terminate Employment . Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates and the Company and any such Affiliate shall have the right to terminate the Employment of the Participant at any such time, with or without cause, notwithstanding the fact that some or all of the RSUs and related Retained Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions covered by this Agreement may be forfeited as a result of such termination. The granting of the RSUs under this Agreement shall not confer on the Participant any right to any future Awards under the Plan.

 

12. Notices .

a)         If the Non-Employee Director’s service as a director of the Company is terminated by the Non-Employee Director for any reason other than those described in clauses (b) and (c) below prior to the Vesting Date, then the RSUs covered by the Award and all Retained Distributions relating thereto shall be completely forfeited on the date of any such termination of service.

b)         If the Non-Employee Director’s service as a director of the Company terminates prior to the Vesting Date (i) as a result of his or her death or Disability, (ii) as a result of his or her Retirement or (iii) as a result of a Termination of Service Due to Election Results, then the RSUs and all Retained Distributions relating thereto shall fully vest on the date of any such termination and Shares subject to the RSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Non-Employee Director as soon as practicable, but no later than 90 days, following such termination of service as a director.

 

3


c)         The RSUs and all Retained Distributions relating thereto shall vest in the event a Non-Employee Director (a “ withdrawing Non-Employee Director ) terminates his or her service as a member of the Board (i) for reasons of personal or financial hardship; (ii) to serve in any governmental, diplomatic or any other public service position or capacity; (iii) to avoid or protect against a conflict of interest of any kind; (iv) on the advice of legal counsel; or (v) on a case by case basis in the discretion of the Board, for any other extraordinary circumstance that the Board determines to be comparable to the foregoing; provided that the payment of the Shares shall not occur before the first date on which a payment could be made without subjecting the Non-Employee Director to tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code ). The withdrawing Non-Employee Director shall abstain from participating in any determination made by the Board with respect to any matter relating to the foregoing.

d)         In the event the Non-Employee Director ceases to serve as a director of the Company, the Non-Employee Director shall have no claim against the Company with respect to the RSUs and related Retained Distributions, if any, other than as set forth in this paragraph 5, the provisions of this paragraph 5 being the sole remedy of the Non-Employee Director with respect thereto.

 

6. Acceleration of Vesting Date . In the event a Change in Control, subject to paragraph 7, has occurred, to the extent that any such occurrence also constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code (a “ 409A Change of Control Event ”), (A) the Award will vest in full upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and (B) Shares subject to the RSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Non-Employee Director, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days following such Change in Control, along with any Retained Distributions related thereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any such occurrence does not constitute a 409A Change of Control Event, the RSUs shall vest as described under this paragraph 6, but the issuance of Shares shall be made at the times otherwise provided hereunder as if no Change of Control had occurred.

 

7. Limitation on Acceleration . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, if the Payment (as hereinafter defined) due to the Non-Employee Director hereunder as a result of the acceleration of vesting of the RSUs pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement, either alone or together with all other Payments received or to be received by the Non-Employee Director from the Company or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “ Aggregate Payments ”), or any portion thereof, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor thereto), the following provisions shall apply:

 

  a)

If the net amount that would be retained by the Non-Employee Director after all taxes on the Aggregate Payments are paid would be greater than the net amount

 

4


  that would be retained by the Non-Employee Director after all taxes are paid if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Non-Employee Director shall be entitled to receive the Aggregate Payments.

 

  b) If, however, the net amount that would be retained by the Non-Employee Director after all taxes were paid would be greater if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Aggregate Payments to which the Non-Employee Director is entitled shall be reduced to such largest amount.

The term “ Payment ” shall mean any transfer of property within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

The determination of whether any reduction of Aggregate Payments is required and the timing and method of any such required reduction in Payments under this Agreement or in any such other Payments otherwise payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates consistent with any such required reduction, shall be made by the Non-Employee Director, including whether any portion of such reduction shall be applied against any cash or any shares of stock of the Company or any other securities or property to which the Non-Employee Director would otherwise have been entitled under this Agreement or under any such other Payments, and whether to waive the right to the acceleration of the Payment due under this Agreement or any portion thereof or under any such other Payments or portions thereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its Affiliates. To the extent that Payments hereunder or any such other Payments are not paid as a consequence of the limitation contained in this paragraph 7, then the RSUs and Retained Distributions related thereto (to the extent not so accelerated) and such other Payments (to the extent not vested) shall be deemed to remain outstanding and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan as if no acceleration or vesting had occurred.

The Company shall promptly pay, upon demand by the Non-Employee Director, all legal fees, court costs, fees of experts and other costs and expenses which the Non-Employee Director incurred in any actual, threatened or contemplated contest of the Non-Employee Director’s interpretation of, or determination under, the provisions of this paragraph 7.

  a)

Obligation to Pay Withholding Taxes .  The Non-Employee Director acknowledges and agrees that, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (the “ Tax-Related Items ”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Non-Employee Director (i) is and remains the Non-Employee Director’s responsibility and (ii) may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. The Non-Employee Director further agrees and acknowledges that the Company (x) make no representations or

 

5

Further, the Non-Employee Director understands and acknowledges that if the Non-Employee Director has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares subject to the RSUs or to pay any Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions shall be subject to payment of all Tax-Related Items by the Non-Employee Director.

The Company shall have the right to withhold from any payment in respect of RSUs, transfer of Shares acquired at vesting, or payment made to the Non-Employee Director or to any person hereunder, whether such payment is to be made in cash or in Shares, all Tax-Related Items as shall be required, in the determination of the Company, pursuant to any statute or governmental regulation or ruling. The Non-Employee Director acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, may satisfy such withholding obligation by any one or a combination of the following methods:

  (ii) by requiring or allowing the Non-Employee Director to pay the amount required to be withheld in cash or by check;

 

  (iii) by deducting the amount required to be withheld from the Non-Employee Director’s current compensation or other amounts payable to the Non-Employee Director;

6


  (v) by withholding a number of Shares to be issued upon delivery of Shares that have a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld;

 

  (vi) by selling any Shares to the extent required to pay the amount required to be withheld; or

 

  (vii) by such other means or method as the Committee in its sole discretion and without notice to the Non-Employee Director deems appropriate.

The Company may satisfy its obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items on Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions payable in cash by withholding a sufficient amount from the payment or by such other means as the Committee in its sole discretion and without notice to the Non-Employee Director deems appropriate, including withholding from compensation or other amounts payable to the Non-Employee Director, Shares or cash having a value sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items.

The Company will not issue any Shares to the Non-Employee Director until the Non-Employee Director satisfies any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items. If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Non-Employee Director shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Non-Employee Director’s participation in the Plan.

 

  c) Compliance with Applicable Laws . The Committee may also require the Non-Employee Director to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions on the sale or transfer of the Shares as it deems appropriate.

11. No Right of Non-Employee Director to Continue to Serve .  Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on any Non-Employee Director any right to continue to serve as a director of the Company.

 

12. Notices .  Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Time Warner Inc., at One Time Warner Center, New York, NY 10019, attention Director, Global Stock Plans Administration, and to the Non-Employee Director at his or her address, as it is shown on the records of the Company, or in either case to such other address as the Company or the Non-Employee Director, as the case may be, by notice to the other may designate in writing from time to time.

The Performance Level achieved shall be determined as described below and approved by the Committee following the conclusion of the Measurement Period, and, as of the Vesting Date, a percentage (between 0% and 200%) of the target number of PSUs shall vest, as follows:

 

  (i) The Committee shall determine a percentage (between 0% and 200%) of the target number of PSUs based on the cumulative Adjusted EPS of the Company achieved for the Measurement Period compared to the Target Adjusted EPS for the Measurement Period (the “ Base Percentage ”).

 

  (ii) The Base Percentage will be multiplied by a factor ranging from 80% to 120%, depending on the Company’s TSR Percentile for the Measurement Period (the “ TSR Factor ”).

If the Company’s TSR Percentile for the Measurement Period is ranked above the 25 th percentile but below the 75 th percentile, the TSR Factor shall be a percentage between 80% and 120% determined by linear interpolation, with a TSR Percentile of 50% resulting in a TSR Factor of 100%.

 

  (iii) The Performance Level achieved and the percentage of the target number of PSUs that shall vest is equal to the Base Percentage multiplied by the TSR Factor, provided that the final percentage shall not be greater than 200%.

 

  c) PSUs Extinguished .  Upon each issuance or transfer of Shares in accordance with this Agreement, a number of PSUs equal to the number of Shares issued or transferred to the Participant shall be extinguished and such number of PSUs will not be considered to be held by the Participant for any purpose.

 

  d) Final Issuance .  Upon the final issuance or transfer of Shares and Retained Distributions, if any, to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement, in lieu of a fractional Share, the Participant shall receive a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share.

 

  e) Section 409A .  Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, no Shares or Retained Distributions shall be issued or transferred to a Participant before the first date on which a payment could be made without subjecting the Participant to tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

  (x) the number of PSUs covered by the Award that would vest on the Vesting Date (based on the actual Performance Level achieved for the full Measurement Period) multiplied by;

Limitation on Acceleration .  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, if the Payment (as hereinafter defined) due to the Participant hereunder as a result of the acceleration of vesting of the PSUs pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement, either alone or together with all other Payments received or to be received by the Participant from the Company or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “ Aggregate Payments ”), or any portion thereof, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor thereto), the following provisions shall apply:

 

  a) If the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes on the Aggregate Payments are paid would be greater than the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes are paid if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the Aggregate Payments.

 

  b) If, however, the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes were paid would be greater if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Aggregate Payments to which the Participant is entitled shall be reduced to such largest amount.

The term “ Payment ” shall mean any transfer of property within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

The determination of whether any reduction of Aggregate Payments is required and the timing and method of any such required reduction in Payments under this Agreement or in any such other Payments otherwise payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates consistent with any such required reduction, shall be made by the Participant, including whether any portion of such reduction shall be applied against any cash or any shares of stock of the Company or any other securities or property to which the Participant would otherwise have been entitled under this Agreement or under any such other Payments, and whether to waive the right to the acceleration of the Payment due under this Agreement or any portion thereof or under any such other Payments or portions thereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its Affiliates. To the extent that Payments hereunder or any such other Payments are not paid as a consequence of the limitation contained in this paragraph 7, then the PSUs and Retained Distributions related thereto (to the extent not so accelerated) and such other Payments (to the extent not vested) shall be deemed to remain outstanding and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan as if no acceleration or vesting had occurred. Under such circumstances, if the Participant terminates Employment for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company or any of its Affiliates without Cause, the

 

11


portion of PSUs affected by the limitation under this paragraph 7 and Retained Distributions related thereto (to the extent that they have not already become vested) shall become immediately vested in their entirety upon such termination and Shares subject to the PSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Participant, as soon as practicable following such termination of Employment, subject to the provisions relating to Section 4999 of the Code set forth herein.

The Company shall promptly pay, upon demand by the Participant, all legal fees, court costs, fees of experts and other costs and expenses which the Participant incurred in any actual, threatened or contemplated contest of the Participant’s interpretation of, or determination under, the provisions of this paragraph 7.

 

8. Withholding Taxes .

 

  a) Obligation to Pay Withholding Taxes .  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (the “ Tax-Related Items ”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant (i) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and (ii) may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Participant’s employer. The Participant further agrees and acknowledges that the Company and the Participant’s employer (x) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Award, the vesting of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired from vesting of the PSUs, and the receipt of any Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions; and (y) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, the Participant understands and acknowledges that if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Company and/or the Participant’s employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares subject to the PSUs or to pay any Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions shall be subject to payment of all Tax-Related Items by the Participant.

 

  b)

Satisfaction of Company’s Withholding Obligations .  At the time any portion of an Award of PSUs, Dividend Equivalent or Retained Distribution relating thereto, becomes taxable to the Participant, he or she will be required to pay to the Company or the Participant’s employer, as applicable, any Tax-Related Items due as a result of such taxable event. The Company or the Participant’s employer shall have the right to withhold from any payment in respect of PSUs, transfer of Shares acquired at vesting, or payment made to the Participant or to any person hereunder, whether such payment is to be made in cash or in Shares, all

 

12


  Tax-Related Items as shall be required, in the determination of the Company, pursuant to any statute or governmental regulation or ruling. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or the Participant’s employer, in their sole discretion, may satisfy such withholding obligation by any one or a combination of the following methods:

 

  (i) by requiring the Participant to deliver a properly executed notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker approved by the Company to sell a sufficient number of Shares to generate net proceeds (after commission and fees) equal to the amount required to be withheld and promptly deliver such amount to the Company;

 

  (ii) by requiring or allowing the Participant to pay the amount required to be withheld in cash or by check;

 

  (iii) by deducting the amount required to be withheld from the Participant’s current compensation or other amounts payable to the Participant;

 

  (iv) by allowing the Participant to surrender other Shares that (A) in the case of Shares initially acquired from the Company (upon exercise of a stock option or otherwise), have been owned by the Participant for such period (if any) as may be required to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings, and (B) have a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the amount required to be withheld;

 

  (v) by withholding a number of Shares to be issued upon delivery of Shares that have a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld;

 

  (vi) by selling any Shares to the extent required to pay the amount required to be withheld; or

 

  (vii) by such other means or method as the Committee in its sole discretion and without notice to the Participant deems appropriate.

The Company may satisfy its obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items on Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions payable in cash by withholding a sufficient amount from the payment or by such other means as the Committee in its sole discretion and without notice to the Participant deems appropriate, including withholding from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, Shares or cash having a value sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items.

The Company will not issue any Shares to the Participant until the Participant satisfies the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items. If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of

 

13


Shares subject to the vested PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

  c) Compliance with Applicable Laws . The Committee may also require the Participant to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions on the sale or transfer of the Shares as it deems appropriate.

 

9. Changes in Capitalization and Government and Other Regulations .  The Award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions as provided in this Agreement and in the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan (generally relating to adjustments to the number of Shares subject to the Award, upon certain changes in capitalization and certain reorganizations and other transactions).

 

10. Forfeiture .   A breach of any of the foregoing restrictions or a breach of any of the other restrictions, terms and conditions of the Plan or this Agreement, with respect to any of the PSUs or any Retained Distributions relating thereto, except as waived by the Board or the Committee, will cause a forfeiture of such PSUs and any Retained Distributions relating thereto.

 

11. Right of Company to Terminate Employment .  Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates and the Company and any such Affiliate shall have the right to terminate the Employment of the Participant at any such time, with or without Cause, notwithstanding the fact that some or all of the PSUs and related Retained Distributions covered by this Agreement may be forfeited as a result of such termination. The granting of the PSUs under this Agreement shall not confer on the Participant any right to any future Awards under the Plan.

 

12. Notices .  Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Time Warner Inc., at One Time Warner Center, New York, NY 10019, Attention: Director, Global Stock Plans Administration, and to the Participant at his or her address, as it is shown on the records of the Company or its Affiliate, or in either case to such other address as the Company or the Participant, as the case may be, by notice to the other may designate in writing from time to time.

17. Waiver of Jury Trial .  To the extent not prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, each party hereto hereby waives, and covenants that it will not assert (whether as plaintiff, defendant or otherwise), any right to trial by jury in any forum in respect of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement.

 

18. Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process .  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of New York located in the County of New York and the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7, the vesting of such PSUs and any Retained Distributions relating thereto shall occur only if the Participant has continued in Employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates on the Vesting Date and has continuously been so employed since the Date of Grant (as defined in the Notice of Grant of Performance Stock Units). The Performance Level achieved shall be determined as described below and approved by the Committee following the conclusion of the Measurement Period, and, as of the Vesting Date, a percentage (between 0% and 200%) of the target number of PSUs shall vest, as follows:

 

  (i) The Committee shall determine a percentage (between 0% and 200%) of the target number of PSUs based on the cumulative Adjusted EPS of the Company achieved for the Measurement Period compared to the Target Adjusted EPS for the Measurement Period (the “ Base Percentage ”).

 

  (ii) The Base Percentage will be multiplied by a factor ranging from 80% to 120%, depending on the Company’s TSR Percentile for the Measurement Period (the “ TSR Factor ”).

If the Company’s TSR Percentile for the Measurement Period is ranked above the 25 th percentile but below the 75 th percentile, the TSR Factor shall be a percentage between 80% and 120% determined by linear interpolation, with a TSR Percentile of 50% resulting in a TSR Factor of 100%.

 

6


  (iii) The Performance Level achieved and the percentage of the target number of PSUs that shall vest is equal to the Base Percentage multiplied by the TSR Factor, provided that the final percentage shall not be greater than 200%.

 

  c) PSUs Extinguished .  Upon each issuance or transfer of Shares in accordance with this Agreement, a number of PSUs equal to the number of Shares issued or transferred to the Participant shall be extinguished and such number of PSUs will not be considered to be held by the Participant for any purpose.

 

  d) Final Issuance .  Upon the final issuance or transfer of Shares and Retained Distributions, if any, to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement, in lieu of a fractional Share, the Participant shall receive a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share.

 

  e) Section 409A .  Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, no Shares or Retained Distributions shall be issued or transferred to a Participant before the first date on which a payment could be made without subjecting the Participant to tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

 

5. Termination of Employment .

 

  (a) If the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by the Participant for any reason other than those described in clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) below prior to the Vesting Date, then the PSUs covered by the Award and all Retained Distributions relating thereto shall be completely forfeited on the date of any such termination, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate.

 

  (b) If the Participant’s Employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement, then, subject to the Section 162(m) Performance Target being satisfied as certified by the Committee, the Participant shall remain entitled to receive the PSUs that would otherwise vest (if any) on the Vesting Date based on the actual Performance Level achieved for the full Measurement Period, and any Retained Distributions relating thereto, and such PSUs shall become vested, and Shares subject to such PSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Participant on the Vesting Date.

  (x) Multiplying the full number of PSUs covered by the Award that would vest based on the Performance Level that would result from (a) a Base Percentage determined from the sum of (i) the Adjusted EPS achieved for each completed fiscal year from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the date of the Participant’s death plus (ii) the amount of Budgeted Adjusted EPS for each fiscal year in the Measurement Period that was not completed on or before the date of the Participant’s death (provided that, in the case of death prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Base Percentage would be 100%); and (b) a TSR Factor based on the Company’s TSR Percentile for the period from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the end of the last fiscal quarter completed on or before the Participant’s death;

 

  (y) By a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the date of the Participant’s death, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Measurement Period.

If the product of (x) and (y) results in a fractional share, such fractional share shall be rounded to the next higher whole share.

The PSUs and any Retained Distributions related thereto that do not vest as described above shall be completely forfeited.

 

  (d) If the Participant terminates Employment due to Disability, then, subject to the Section 162(m) Performance Target being satisfied as certified by the Committee, the Participant shall remain entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the PSUs that would otherwise vest (if any) on the Vesting Date based on the actual Performance Level achieved for the full Measurement Period, and any Retained Distributions relating thereto, and such pro rata portion of the PSUs shall become vested, and Shares subject to such PSUs and any Retained Distributions relating thereto shall be issued or transferred to the Participant on the Vesting Date, determined as follows:

 

  (x) the number of PSUs covered by the Award that would vest on the Vesting Date (based on the actual Performance Level achieved for the full Measurement Period) multiplied by;

 

  (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the date of such termination, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Measurement Period.

If the product of (x) and (y) results in a fractional share, such fractional share shall be rounded to the next higher whole share.

The PSUs and any Retained Distributions related thereto that do not vest as described above shall be completely forfeited following the end of the Measurement Period.

 

  (e) If the Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Participant due to Retirement, then, subject to the Section 162(m) Performance Target being satisfied as certified by the Committee, the Participant shall receive the number of Shares, and any Retained Distributions related thereto, that would have vested if the Participant’s Employment had continued through the Vesting Date based on the actual Performance Level achieved for the Measurement Period determined in accordance with Section 4 above, and such Shares and Retained Distributions, if any, shall be issued or transferred to the Participant on the Vesting Date. The PSUs and any Retained Distributions related thereto that do not vest as described above shall be completely forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(d), if the Committee determines in its discretion (though subject to the limitations in the following sentence) that the Participant has engaged in a Prohibited Action prior to the end of the Measurement Period, the Participant shall not receive a number of Shares based on the full Measurement Period as described in this Section 5(d) and instead shall receive a pro-rated number of Shares, and any Retained Distributions related thereto, determined as set forth in Section 5(c). If the Participant is a licensed or registered attorney in the State of New York or another U.S. jurisdiction, the non-compete provisions contained in the definition of Prohibited Action shall be interpreted and the Committee’s determination of whether the Participant has engaged in a Prohibited Action shall be made in a manner consistent with, and applied only to the extent permissible under, the applicable rules of professional conduct (such as Rule 5.6 in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions).

For purposes of this Section 5, a temporary leave of absence shall not constitute a termination of Employment or a failure to be continuously employed by the Company or any Affiliate regardless of the Participant’s payroll status during such leave of absence if such leave of absence is approved in writing by the Company or any Affiliate. Notice of any such approved leave of absence should be sent to the Company at One Time Warner Center, New York, New York 10019, attention: Director, Global Stock Plans Administration, but such notice shall not be required for the leave of absence to be considered approved.

In the event the Participant’s Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated, the Participant shall have no claim against the Company with respect to the PSUs and related Retained Distributions, if any, other than as set forth in this Section 5, the provisions of this Section 5 being the sole remedy of the Participant with respect thereto.

6. Acceleration of Vesting Date .    Subject to Sections 4(d) and 7, in the event a Change in Control or a Division Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the Measurement Period, the PSUs shall immediately vest and the Participant shall receive immediate payment in respect thereof determined as follows:

(x) if the Change in Control or Division Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the number of Target PSUs shall be the number of PSUs that vest; or

(y) if the Change in Control or Division Change in Control occurs after the end of the Performance Period, but prior to the end of the Measurement Period, the number of PSUs that vest will be determined based on the Performance Level that would result from (a) a Base Percentage determined from the sum of (i) the Adjusted EPS achieved for each completed fiscal year from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the date of the Change in Control or Division Change in Control plus (ii) the amount of Budgeted Adjusted EPS for each fiscal year in the Measurement Period that was not completed on or before the date of the Change in Control or Division Change in Control; and (b) a TSR Factor based on the Company’s TSR Percentile for the period from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the end of the last fiscal quarter completed on or before the Change in Control or Division Change in Control;

(z) plus all related Retained Distributions.

If the amounts of PSUs determined above would result in a fractional share, such fractional share shall be rounded to the next higher whole share.

 

7. Limitation on Acceleration .    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, if the Payment (as hereinafter defined) due to the Participant hereunder as a result of the acceleration of vesting of the PSUs pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement, either alone or together with all other Payments received or to be received by the Participant from the Company or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “ Aggregate Payments ”), or any portion thereof, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor thereto), the following provisions shall apply:

 

  a) If the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes on the Aggregate Payments are paid would be greater than the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes are paid if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the Aggregate Payments.

 

10


  b) If, however, the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes were paid would be greater if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Aggregate Payments to which the Participant is entitled shall be reduced to such largest amount.

The term “ Payment ” shall mean any transfer of property within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

The determination of whether any reduction of Aggregate Payments is required and the timing and method of any such required reduction in Payments under this Agreement or in any such other Payments otherwise payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates consistent with any such required reduction, shall be made by the Participant, including whether any portion of such reduction shall be applied against any cash or any shares of stock of the Company or any other securities or property to which the Participant would otherwise have been entitled under this Agreement or under any such other Payments, and whether to waive the right to the acceleration of the Payment due under this Agreement or any portion thereof or under any such other Payments or portions thereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its Affiliates. To the extent that Payments hereunder or any such other Payments are not paid as a consequence of the limitation contained in this paragraph 7, then the PSUs and Retained Distributions related thereto (to the extent not so accelerated) and such other Payments (to the extent not vested) shall be deemed to remain outstanding and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan as if no acceleration or vesting had occurred. Under such circumstances, if the Participant’s Employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement, the portion of PSUs affected by the limitation under this paragraph 7 and Retained Distributions related thereto (to the extent that they have not already become vested) shall become immediately vested in their entirety upon such termination and Shares subject to the PSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Participant, as soon as practicable following such termination of Employment, subject to the provisions relating to Section 4999 of the Code set forth herein.

The Company shall promptly pay, upon demand by the Participant, all legal fees, court costs, fees of experts and other costs and expenses which the Participant incurred in any actual, threatened or contemplated contest of the Participant’s interpretation of, or determination under, the provisions of this paragraph 7.

 

8. Withholding Taxes .

 

  a)

Obligation to Pay Withholding Taxes .  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (the “ Tax-Related Items ”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant (i) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and (ii) may exceed the amount actually

 

11


  withheld by the Company or the Participant’s employer. The Participant further agrees and acknowledges that the Company and the Participant’s employer (x) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Award, the vesting of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired from vesting of the PSUs, and the receipt of any Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions; and (y) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, the Participant understands and acknowledges that if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Company and/or the Participant’s employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares subject to the PSUs or to pay any Dividend Equivalents or Retained Distributions shall be subject to payment of all Tax-Related Items by the Participant.

 

  b) Satisfaction of Company’s Withholding Obligations .  At the time any portion of an Award of PSUs, Dividend Equivalent or Retained Distribution relating thereto, becomes taxable to the Participant, he or she will be required to pay to the Company or the Participant’s employer, as applicable, any Tax-Related Items due as a result of such taxable event. The Company or the Participant’s employer shall have the right to withhold from any payment in respect of PSUs, transfer of Shares acquired at vesting, or payment made to the Participant or to any person hereunder, whether such payment is to be made in cash or in Shares, all Tax-Related Items as shall be required, in the determination of the Company, pursuant to any statute or governmental regulation or ruling. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or the Participant’s employer, in their sole discretion, may satisfy such withholding obligation by any one or a combination of the following methods:

 

  (i) by requiring the Participant to deliver a properly executed notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker approved by the Company to sell a sufficient number of Shares to generate net proceeds (after commission and fees) equal to the amount required to be withheld and promptly deliver such amount to the Company;

 

  (ii) by requiring or allowing the Participant to pay the amount required to be withheld in cash or by check;

 

  (iii) by deducting the amount required to be withheld from the Participant’s current compensation or other amounts payable to the Participant;

 

  (iv)

by allowing the Participant to surrender other Shares that (A) in the case of Shares initially acquired from the Company (upon exercise of a stock option or otherwise), have been owned by the Participant for such period

 

12


  (if any) as may be required to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings, and (B) have a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the amount required to be withheld;

 

  (v) by withholding a number of Shares to be issued upon delivery of Shares that have a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld;

 

  (vi) by selling any Shares to the extent required to pay the amount required to be withheld; or

 

  (vii) by such other means or method as the Committee in its sole discretion and without notice to the Participant deems appropriate.

The Company may satisfy its obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items on Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions payable in cash by withholding a sufficient amount from the payment or by such other means as the Committee in its sole discretion and without notice to the Participant deems appropriate, including withholding from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, Shares or cash having a value sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items.

The Company will not issue any Shares to the Participant until the Participant satisfies the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items. If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

  c) Compliance with Applicable Laws . The Committee may also require the Participant to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions on the sale or transfer of the Shares as it deems appropriate.

 

9. Changes in Capitalization and Government and Other Regulations .  The Award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions as provided in this Agreement and in the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan (generally relating to adjustments to the number of Shares subject to the Award, upon certain changes in capitalization and certain reorganizations and other transactions).

 

10. Forfeiture .     A breach of any of the foregoing restrictions or a breach of any of the other restrictions, terms and conditions of the Plan or this Agreement, with respect to any of the PSUs or any Retained Distributions relating thereto, except as waived by the Board or the Committee, will cause a forfeiture of such PSUs and any Retained Distributions relating thereto.

 

13


11. Right of Company to Terminate Employment .  Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates and the Company and any such Affiliate shall have the right to terminate the Employment of the Participant at any such time, with or without Cause, notwithstanding the fact that some or all of the PSUs and related Retained Distributions covered by this Agreement may be forfeited as a result of such termination. The granting of the PSUs under this Agreement shall not confer on the Participant any right to any future Awards under the Plan.

 

12. Notices .  Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Time Warner Inc., at One Time Warner Center, New York, NY 10019, Attention: Director, Global Stock Plans Administration, and to the Participant at his or her address, as it is shown on the records of the Company or its Affiliate, or in either case to such other address as the Company or the Participant, as the case may be, by notice to the other may designate in writing from time to time.

 

13. Interpretation and Amendments .  The Board and the Committee (to the extent delegated by the Board) have plenary authority to interpret this Agreement and the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating thereto and to make all other determinations in connection with the administration of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may from time to time modify or amend this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, provided that no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Participant under this Agreement without his or her consent.

 

14. Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Participant and his or her legatees, distributees and personal representatives.

 

15. Copy of the Plan .  By entering into the Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that he or she has received and read a copy of the Plan.

 

16. Governing Law .  The Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to any choice of law rules thereof which might apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

17. Waiver of Jury Trial .  To the extent not prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, each party hereto hereby waives, and covenants that it will not assert (whether as plaintiff, defendant or otherwise), any right to trial by jury in any forum in respect of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement.

 

18.

Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process .  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of New York located in the County of New York and the jurisdiction of the United States District

 

14


  Court for the Southern District of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto to the extent permitted by applicable law hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that such suit, action or proceeding in the above-referenced courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such suit, action or proceedings, is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court.

  (e)       Not Re-elected as a Director.   If the Participant’s service relationship is terminated because (i) the Participant is not nominated by the Company’s Board of Directors to stand for re-election at an annual stockholders’ meeting at which directors are to be elected, (ii) having been nominated for re-election,


3

 

is not re-elected by the stockholders at such stockholders’ meeting, (iii) having been re-elected by fewer than a majority “for” votes of the votes cast by the stockholders at such stockholders’ meeting in an uncontested election of directors, the Participant’s offer to resign from the Board of Directors is accepted by the Board of Directors, or (iv) any similar events that result in the Participant ceasing to serve as a director of the Company, the Option shall fully vest and become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for three (3) years following the Participant’s date of termination and shall not be exercisable after the end of such three-year period; provided , that if at the time the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company under this Paragraph 5(e), the Participant satisfies the age and service requirements described in Paragraph 5(b), then the provisions of Paragraph 5(b) shall be controlling.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 5, in no event shall any portion of this Option remain exercisable after the Expiration Date. If the Participant is a party to any employment or consulting agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and such agreement provides for treatment of the Option that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Paragraph 5, the more favorable provisions shall control. A change in status of an Participant within or among the Company and its Affiliates shall not affect the Option, except that a change in status from employee of the Company or an Affiliate to a consultant of the Company or an Affiliate shall be treated and have the same effect as if the Participant had ceased to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

7.         METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION.   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised through an approved broker/dealer by written notice on such form as is provided by the Company or pursuant to other procedures established by the Company. Such notice shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed (whether or not in electronic form) by the person exercising the Option. Payment of the exercise price for such Shares shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check or by wire transfer to the Company, (b) at the discretion of the Committee, in accordance with procedures established by the Company, by delivery of Shares, having a fair market value equal as of the date of the exercise to the exercise price, (c) at the discretion of the Company, in accordance with a cashless exercise program established with a securities brokerage firm, and approved by the Company, (d) through such other method of payment approved by the Company, (e) at the discretion of the Company, by any combination of (a),(b),(c), and (d) above.

The certificate or certificates (or other evidence of ownership) representing the Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the Participant and if the Participant shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the name of the Participant and another person jointly, with right of survivorship and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written order of the person or persons exercising the Option.

(v) Transfers of Employment . If the Participant’s Employment is transferred to a corporation, company or other entity that is not an Affiliate, the transfer shall be treated like a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Employment Agreement.

No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option until the issuance of the Shares.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, absent an available exemption to registration or qualification, the Option may not be exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Option or the Shares under applicable state and federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange that the Committee shall in its sole reasonable discretion determine to be necessary or advisable.

However, the Company shall not be liable to the Participant for damages relating to any delays in issuing the Shares to the Participant, any loss by the Participant of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves.

The Participant also agrees and acknowledges that grants of Options under the Plan are discretionary and any grant of Options under the Plan does not imply or create any obligation on the part of the Company to make any future grants of Options to the Participant.

6.         Legend on Certificates . The certificates representing the Shares purchased by exercise of an Option shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, any applicable federal or state laws and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
