VIACOM INTERNATIONAL MEDIA NETWORKS BANDS TOGETHER WITH EMPLOYEES AND ARTISTS TO EXTEND SUPPORT TO TYPHOON HAIYAN VICTIMS

DONATION DRIVE TOWARDS UNICEF’S EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN THE PHILIPPINES

PHILIPPINES/ SINGAPORE, 22 November 2013 – Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Asia, a division of Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIA, VIAB) today announced the company’s efforts to support the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in its aftermath. Last week, Viacom established a company-wide employee matching gift program with UNICEF to help children who now desperately need shelter, clean water and nutrition supplies. Since then, the company has extended support to UNICEF through the creation of two Public Service Announcements (PSAs) with artists through MTV and Nickelodeon, which will reach its primary millennial audiences around the world.

The Typhoon took place the same weekend as the MTV EMAs in Amsterdam. Jared Leto from Thirty Seconds to Mars used his moment on the MTV EMA stage (http://mtvvoices.com/en/2013/11/typhoon-haiyan-jared-reacts/) to raise awareness about the tragedy, and shared how fans can help donate through UNICEF’s emergency response in the Philippines: www.supportunicef.org/philippines (http://www.supportunicef.org/philippines). The cast of Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat, Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy, also lent their support with a PSA (http://at.nick.asia/I2H8fg) to support the same donation drive. Collectively, both PSAs are aired across MTV and Nickelodeon networks around the world and posted on the networks’ social media channels, while Jared Leto’s PSA also goes across Comedy Central Asia’s network.

Apart from reaching to artists to lend their support, MTV Voices (http://mtvvoices.com/en/) worked with a local youth, Yan Yuzon in Manila whose post and on-ground account of the devastation was posted on MTV Voices website (http://mtvvoices.com/en/2013/11/we-need-your-help-now/) and shared across MTV’s social media channels. UNICEF is working with MTV Voices to find more young people on the ground to write, so that new

content will be shared over the next few weeks, giving the perspective of the devastation through the eyes of the Filipino millennials.

“Our hearts go out to the millions affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. We’ve all been touched by the harrowing images of the widespread devastation that left many injured, homeless and loved ones lost,” said Indra Suharjono, VIMN Asia’s executive vice president and managing director. “Engaging audiences through our pro-social initiatives is a commitment that we do not take lightly. As an entertainment content company, we have an extensive global reach, particularly with our millennial audiences. We believe we have the responsibility to engage our audiences around the world through TV, online and mobile platforms, and in whatever part we can play, we want to create the awareness of the devastation that the Philippines went through and embolden our audiences to support the donation drive.”

November 21, 2013, NEW YORK: Continued demands by consumers to access content anywhere, anytime, will help drive further deal activity in the entertainment, media and communications sector in the U.S., PwC reveals in its latest report.

PwC’s 3rd Quarter U.S. Entertainment, Media & Communications (EMC) Deal Insights survey out today observes a 9-percent boost in deal volume in 2013 so far to 648, following declines in 2011 and 2012. Further, deal value is up 55 percent to $207.2 billion, largely driven by “megadeals” in the broadcasting, telecom and advertising and marketing spheres. Private equity remains active in the EMC space, backing 20 percent of deals this year.

International expansion is also still important, PwC says, but announced deals declined to 126 this year compared with 158 in 2012.

SPAA CONFERENCE, MELBOURNE (November 21, 2013) – Cartoon Network today announces it has started production on the first Asia Pacific-made series developed for global distribution. Exchange Student Zero will be ready to air in 2015 on screens across the world. Another new project in the pipeline for the leading kids’ network is Monster Beach, an original TV special that will also be available internationally.

“Since the very early days at Cartoon Network in Asia Pacific we have produced local content,” says Mark Eyers, Chief Content Officer. “Exchange Student Zero confirms our continued commitment to producing exclusive and compelling creator-driven local content with export potential.”

The show’s director, Patrick Crawley, from Bogan Entertainment Solutions (BES) in Australia, adds: “It’s fantastic that we’ll be able to turn this character-driven, inter-dimensional story into a complete Cartoon Network series. Our Australian animation creative team is a formidable talent and we’re thrilled to have the chance to work with an international broadcaster to bring Exchange Student Zero to a global audience.”

Exchange Student Zero (13×22′) tells the story of two boys who bring an anime character from a fantasy card game to life and pass him off as an exchange student. However, Hiro wreaks havoc amongst his western styled animated world. Attempts to return him back to the game result in even more anime characters being released with disastrous results. The series tagline is: “300 super-powered cards. Two different worlds. One crazy adventure.”

Monster Beach (1×70′) is also a BES production. The special tells the story about surfing, scary locals and two kids battling to save their worst nightmare. Silas Hickey, Turner’s Creative Director – Animation, based in Hong Kong, is executive producer for both productions.

Notes to editor

More about Exchange Student Zero:
300 super-powered cards. Two different worlds. One crazy adventure. Exchange Student Zero (13×22′) is a series where fantasy becomes reality, when the dark forces from a tactical anime card game are unleashed on our world. The good news? The most powerful card in the deck, Hiro, is on our side. The bad news? Two 12-year-old boys are running the show! Their attempts to explain away Hiro as an exchange student are bizarrely successful – with the adults at least – despite the havoc he creates. Civilization as we know it might be teetering on the edge but rest assured our heroes are on the case… as long as they can fit it in between bin duty, an errant older sister and the eternal quest for a date.

More about Monster Beach:
Monster Beach (1×70′). An ordinary summer holiday gets complicated when two kids – Jan and her brother Dean – are packed off to stay with their drop-out uncle, Woody. It should be paradise: a secluded island, great waves and a non-attentive adult in charge. What could be better? But why is this place so deserted? Why has the town been overrun by the jungle and what are those strange noises coming from the beach? The terrible truth is revealed when it turns out the locals are in fact monsters – and they don’t take kindly to tourists. Well not at first anyway. The arrival of a rampaging property developer changes all that, when sibling rivalry and genetic differences are swept aside. Everyone bands together to save the strange little place they’ve all decided to call home. Monster Beach is a Bogan Entertainment Solutions production in conjunction with Cartoon Network.
