Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 14, 2019, Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”) issued a joint press release announcing that Disney will immediately assume operational control of Hulu, LLC (“Hulu”). Under a put/call arrangement, as early as January 2024, Disney can require NBCUniversal to sell, and Comcast can require Disney to buy, NBCUniversal’s 33% ownership interest in Hulu, in either case, for fair market value at that future time. Hulu’s fair market value will be assessed by independent experts, subject to a floor that represents a minimum total equity value of Hulu at that time of $27.5 billion.

Disney and Comcast have agreed to fund Hulu’s recent purchase of AT&T Inc.’s 9.5% interest in Hulu, pro rata to their current two thirds/one third ownership interests. Going forward, Comcast may fund its proportionate share of Hulu’s future capital calls and will be diluted if it elects not to fund, subject to a 21% ownership interest floor. Hulu’s capital calls will be subject to a $1.5 billion per year cap.

Comcast and Hulu have agreed to extend the Hulu+ license of NBCUniversal content until late 2024.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
