Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth

Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

In May 2019, subsidiaries of The Walt Disney Company
(collectively with its subsidiaries, “Disney”), a subsidiary of Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”, and such subsidiary,
“NBCU”) and Hulu, LLC (“Hulu”), which is owned 66-2/3% by Disney and 33-1/3% by NBCU, subject to dilution under
certain circumstances, entered into an amended agreement governing the operation of Hulu. Under the amended agreement, as subsequently
amended, in November 2023 (in addition to subsequent periods), NBCU may exercise an option to require Disney to purchase, and Disney may
exercise an option to require NBCU to sell, NBCU’s interest in Hulu to Disney, in either case at a value based on NBCU’s equity
ownership percentage of the greater of Hulu’s equity fair value and a guaranteed floor value of $27.5 billion. If the put/call is
exercised in November 2023, Hulu’s equity fair value will be assessed as of September 30, 2023. On September 8, 2023, Disney filed
a Current Report on Form 8-K describing certain aspects of how “Hulu’s equity fair value” will be determined.
For reference, the complete definition of “Fair
Market Value” is as follows:
“Fair Market Value” means:
(i) the fair market value of the Company as shall
be mutually agreed upon by the Disney Member and the NBCU Member, based upon the total value of the consideration that would be received
by the Members in a sale of one hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Securities of the Company (and such value shall not include the value
of any tax benefit that results from an increase in tax basis as a result of such sale), consistent with the methodologies in clause (ii)
below; provided, however, that, should the Disney Member and the NBCU Member fail to agree (a) by November 15th of any year, with respect
to the Fair Market Value determination required to be made as of the end of each Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 4.5(a), or (b) within
fifteen (15) Business Days following any Reference Date, or in each case if later, within five (5) Business Days following the date on
which the Audited Financial Statements are completed for the period ending on the date as of which Fair Market Value is to be determined,
then such determination shall be made by two investment banking firms of national standing, one of which shall be selected by the Disney
Member and the other of which shall be selected by the NBCU Member. Each investment banking firm shall be required to determine the Fair
Market Value within thirty (30) days after being notified of its selection. If the two determinations by the two investment banking firms
are within ten percent (10%) of each other, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two determinations. If the two determinations
are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, then the two investment banking firms shall select a third investment banking firm of
national standing to make a third determination within thirty (30) days after being notified of its selection, in which case the Fair
Market Value shall be the average of the two determinations that are closest in value to each other. In preparing the Fair Market Value
determinations, each investment banking firm shall be provided with the same access to the Company’s management and the same source
documents and information regarding the Company. Each investment banking firm shall determine a single point estimate of Fair Market Value,
not a range of values. The fees and expenses of all such investment banking firms to determine Fair Market Value shall be paid by the
Company.
(ii) In determining the Fair Market Value, the
investment banking firms shall take into account all factors they determine relevant to such valuation (to the extent consistent with
the following clauses (A) through (D) and clauses (iii) and (iv)) and the following:
(A) a sale process designed to maximize
equity value, which sale process may include a sale by auction and/or sealed bid process;
(B) that the Company is valued as a
going concern, carrying on its existing business activities;
(C) whether to include in their analysis
the assumption of the participation of any or all of NBCU or Disney as bidders (and if so, whether as solo or joint bidders) based on
the principle of maximizing equity value; and
(D) equity value for purposes hereof
shall mean the fair market value of the Company on an enterprise basis, less any outstanding indebtedness (including Member Loans and
Third Party Loans), plus cash and cash equivalents.
(iii) The investment banking firms
shall also take into consideration (A) the Company’s historical financial and operating results, which shall be based solely on
the Audited Financial Statements (including the Audited Financial Statements as of the last day of the most recently completed Fiscal
Year and, in the event Fair Market Value is being
determined as of a date other than the end of any Fiscal
Year (e.g., in connection with a Drag-Along Sale Transaction, an Exit Transaction or an IPO), an additional set of Audited Financial Statements
for the period beginning on the first day of the then-current Fiscal Year and ending on the date as of which Fair Market Value is being
so determined), (B) the Company’s future business prospects and projected financial and operating results, assuming that the assets,
contract rights and intellectual property used in the Company’s business that are provided by Disney, any Member (other than the
NBCU Member) or any of their respective Affiliates will be continued and available to the Company and its Subsidiaries in a manner and
on terms consistent with past practice (as reflected in such Audited Financial Statements) (and, in that regard, management of the Company
will prepare and provide to each investment banking firm and each Media Partner a management plan that reflects such assumptions), and
(C) public and private market and industry conditions.
(iv) With respect to any determination
of Fair Market Value in connection with a Major Transaction Notice or a Drag-Along Sale Notice, in no event will Fair Market Value be
less than the fair market value of the cash and non-cash consideration to be paid or delivered by the Third Party in connection with such
Major Transaction or Drag-Along Sale Transaction, respectively.
The foregoing is not, and does not purport to be, a complete description
of the amended agreement.
