DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION
Executive Summary
SPT Networks is seeking approval to make an additional investment in Crackle Australia
• Foxtel has recently decided not to renew TV1 and Sci-Fi’s (“SF”) affiliate agreement. The elimination of Foxtel’s subscriber fees has forced the TV1/SF joint-venture between SPT, CBS Studios and Comcast/NBC Universal to begin the process of winding down the business
• In light of these developments, SPT can capitalize on this window of opportunity to realign SPT’s strategy in Australia by positioning Crackle to be the premium AVOD service in Australia – filling a market gap left by the impending shutdown of the TV1/SF JV
• Crackle Australia launched in 2010 and has been able to build an audience with minimal investment in programming and marketing with a free ad-supported video on demand (“AVOD”) anywhere, anytime
• With a rapidly growing mobile advertising market, national rollout of a new high speed broadband network over the next decade, and lack of entrenched competition, Australia is well positioned for an expanded Crackle presence
• Investment will be used to significantly increase the content offering, expand marketing budget to $1.5MM and add 8 in headcount in Year 1

Australian National Broadband Network Project
• The National Broadband Network (“NBN”) is a national mandate to develop a high speed broadband network to reach 100% of Australian premises with a combination of fiber, fixed wireless and satellite technologies
• Broadband speeds up to 100 Mbps
• Operated by government-owned enterprise, NBN Co.
• Goal is to rollout over 10 years with commencement in 2011
• Services available in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia
• Expected costs to reach ~A$36B with funds to come from a government investment of A$27B and NBN Co’s own revenues and private debt markets
• NBN accelerates opportunity for digital growth in Australia
• Tablet/smartphone penetration at 65% of population at end of 2012 with current high-speed infrastructure an obstacle
• Broader high-speed access enhances demand for digital services such as AVOD, SVOD and other mobile applications

Strategic Benefits to SPT, SPE, and Sony
• Elevate the Crackle brand to be the premiere destination for premium long form content free to the consumer

• Further grow Crackle’s international presence while creating synergies from leveraging Crackle’s technology backend
• Exploit SPT’s movie and television products to generate incremental licensing revenue in Australia
• Utilize ad inventory to market SPE television and film products, as well as consumer electronics such as next generation PS4

Critical Success Factors
• Hire local team with strong digital expertise
• Secure distribution deal with PlayStation Australia
• 100% fill rate and floor net CPM of $19 to $20 guaranteed by ad sales representative
• Acquire AVOD rights of third party content (e.g., CBS) at discount to the linear rate card
• Cheaper, higher quality broadband made more widely available to Australians via NBN

DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION
Ignite Relationship/Performance to Date
• For FY12 and FY13, Ignite served as Crackle’s exclusive ad representative for Australia
• Renewed relationship in good faith to agreed upon terms of $17 net CPM; 100% fill rate would have equated to $80k in revenue for FY13
• Due to lack of sales on Ignite’s part, moved start date back to July and lowered fill rate commitment to 100% for online, 50% mobile and 50% for CTV platform following a 2 month integration/ramp up period which equated to about $30k in revenue due to Crackle
• For FY13, Ignite had an average fill rate of 25%, never executed a legal agreement, and reneged on $17 CPM to a revenue share resulting in less than $10k pay out to Crackle for FY13 – we are in process of reconciling efforts
• Ignite did not deliver any marketing support per the commitments they gave us
• Crackle replaced Ignite with other ad representatives for FY14 who guaranteed $19 net CPM’s and 100% fill rate as Ignite could not commit to any minimum CPM or fill rate going forward
• Due to existing relationship with Ignite, Crackle offered Ignite the first opportunity to sell Days of Our Lives exclusive as a premium brand sponsorship but Ignite declined the opportunity and Crackle’s existing ad reps are monetizing instead
