Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

On April 25, 2019 each of Warner Media, LLC (as successor by merger to Time Warner) and TW Holdings B.V. granted each director of the Company who is “independent” (as determined under Part 229.407 of Title 17 of the United States of America Code of Federal Regulations) a standing proxy/authorization (the “ 2019 TW Proxy ” and “ 2019 TW Holdings Proxy ”, as applicable, and collectively, the “ 2019 Proxies ”) in substantially the same form as the Initial Proxies (as defined in Amendment No. 24), to remain effective for twelve (12) months, from the date of the 2019 Proxies. Pursuant to the 2019 Proxies, each of Warner Media, LLC and TW Holdings B.V. appointed such directors as their agents to vote the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the applicable 2019 Proxy (23,700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the case of the 2019 TW Proxy, and 77,226,996 shares of Class A Common Stock in the case of the 2019 TW Holdings Proxy) at any general meeting of the Issuer in the same proportion as votes cast at such meeting in respect of shares not subject to the 2019 Proxies. The 2019 Proxies remain effective for the term, unless the applicable grantor and its affiliates cease to beneficially own a majority of the voting equity securities of the Issuer, in which case, the 2019 Proxies terminate automatically. The 2019 Proxies do not apply to any general meeting that has been convened to vote on, among any other matters, a Change of Control Event (as defined in the applicable 2019 Proxy). Warner Media, LLC and TW Holdings B.V. will retain their ability to vote the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the 2019 TW Proxy and 2019 TW Holdings Proxy at any such meeting, subject to the terms of the Proxy Agreement.
