On 22 March 2013, the Spanish Cabinet adopted a resolution to comply with the judgment of
the Spanish Supreme Court of 27 November 2012, indicating that the affected channels must
cease broadcasting and associating this process with the freeing up of the digital dividend.
Subsequently, on 18 December 2013, the Spanish Supreme Court issued an order enforcing
the aforementioned judgment, referring, inter alia, to the channels affected by its judgment,
whichwould include three of the channels currently being operated by Atresmedia.

decisions and the fact that Atresmedia Corporación de Medios de Comunicación, S.A. has
complied with all the commitments and obligations imposed on it, a satisfactory solution is still
expected to be reached, and it was not considered necessary to make any significant
adjustments or amendments to these consolidated financial statements.

Uniprex, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), to date, applications have been submitted to the

In certain cases the renewal of the concessionwas granted expressly, whereas in others it was
obtained by the administrative silence route after the pertinent appeals were filed with a
higher administrative body, in accordance with Article 43 of the Public Authorities and
Common Administrative Procedure Law.
