As used herein, the term “Notes” shall mean the New Notes together with the Old Notes.

The terms of the New Notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Old Notes of the corresponding series, except that the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will not contain restrictions on transfer or provisions relating to additional interest, will bear different CUSIP numbers from the Old Notes of the corresponding series and will not entitle their holders to registration rights. The New Notes will be fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured unsubordinated basis by the same entities that guarantee the Old Notes. Each guarantee constitutes a separate security that is being offered by the relevant guarantor.

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or any automated dealer quotation system and there is currently no public market for the Old Notes or for the New Notes.

All untendered Old Notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Old Notes and in the indenture governing the Notes. In general, the Old Notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration under the Securities Act. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, the Issuer does not currently anticipate that it will register any series of the Old Notes under the Securities Act.

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                 , 2023 (the “Expiration Date”) unless we extend the Expiration Date. You should read the section called “The Exchange Offer” for further information on how to exchange your Old Notes for New Notes.

See “Risk Factors ” beginning on page 17 for a discussion of risk factors that you should consider prior to tendering your Old Notes in the exchange offer and risk factors related to ownership of the Notes.

Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 120 days from the date on which this registration statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which no broker-dealer is required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is                 , 2023

RISK FACTORS

Participating in the exchange offer and any investment in the Notes involves risks. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. In particular, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties included in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the 2022 WBD Annual Report which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. For a discussion of additional uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements in this prospectus, see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” If any of those risks or the following risks actually occurs, WBD’s businesses, and your investment in the Notes, could be negatively affected. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect their business operations, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. If any of these risks materializes, our ability to pay interest on the Notes when due or to repay the Notes at maturity could be adversely affected, and the trading prices of the Notes could decline substantially.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

If you fail to exchange your Old Notes, they will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid.

Old Notes that you do not tender or WMH does not accept will, following the exchange offer, continue to be restricted securities, and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

If a large number of outstanding Old Notes are exchanged for New Notes issued in the exchange offer, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any Old Notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any Old Notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes of the applicable series outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your Old Notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Old Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Old Notes could be adversely affected.

Late deliveries of Old Notes and other required documents could prevent a holder from exchanging its Old Notes.

Holders are responsible for complying with all exchange offer procedures. The issuance of New Notes in exchange for Old Notes will only occur upon completion of the procedures described in this prospectus under “The Exchange Offer.” Therefore, holders of Old Notes who wish to exchange them for New Notes should allow sufficient time for timely completion of the exchange offer procedures. Neither we nor the exchange agent are obligated to extend the offer or notify you of any failure to follow the proper procedures or waive any defect if you fail to follow the proper procedures.

If you are a broker-dealer, your ability to transfer the New Notes may be restricted.

A broker-dealer that purchased Old Notes for its own account as part of market-making or trading activities must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act when it sells the New Notes. Our obligation to make this prospectus available to broker-dealers is limited. Consequently, we cannot guarantee that a proper prospectus will be available to broker-dealers wishing to resell their New Notes.

Risks Related to the Notes

WBD has a significant amount of debt and may incur significant amounts of additional debt, which could adversely affect WBD’s financial health and its ability to react to changes in its business.

As of December 31, 2022, WBD had approximately $49.3 billion of consolidated debt, of which approximately $365 million was then current. WBD’s substantial level of indebtedness increases the possibility that it may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay when due the principal of, interest on, or other amounts associated with its indebtedness. In addition, DCL and certain other subsidiaries of WBD had the ability to draw down $6.0 billion of the $6.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility (after giving effect to $0 million represented by outstanding letters of credit) in the ordinary course, which would have the effect of increasing its indebtedness. WBD is also permitted, subject to certain restrictions under its existing indebtedness, to obtain additional long-term debt and working capital lines of credit to meet future financing needs. This would have the effect of increasing WBD’s total leverage.

WBD’s substantial leverage could have significant negative consequences on its financial condition and results of operations, including:

DCL and Scripps conduct a substantial amount of their operations, and WBD and the Issuer conduct substantially all of their respective operations, through subsidiaries. WBD, the Issuer, DCL and Scripps may be limited in their ability to access funds from their subsidiaries to service their debt, including the Notes and the note guarantees. In addition, the Notes will not be guaranteed, except in certain circumstances, by any subsidiaries of WBD other than DCL and Scripps and each other wholly owned domestic subsidiary of WBD that in the future becomes a borrower or that guarantees the payment of any debt under the Senior Credit Facilities or any Material Debt.

DCL and Scripps conduct a substantial amount of their operations, and WBD and the Issuer conduct substantially all of their respective operations, through subsidiaries. Accordingly, they depend on their subsidiaries’ earnings and advances or loans made by the subsidiaries to them (and potentially dividends or distributions by the subsidiaries to them) to provide funds necessary to meet their obligations, including the payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes. If WBD, the Issuer, DCL and Scripps are unable to access the cash flows of their respective subsidiaries, they would be unable to meet their debt obligations.

The subsidiaries of WBD are separate and distinct legal entities and, except to the extent that they guarantee the Notes, have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due on the Notes or to make funds

18

available to the Issuer to do so. In addition, the ability of the subsidiaries of WBD to pay dividends or otherwise transfer assets to WBD is subject to various restrictions under applicable law and limitations under contractual obligations. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of WBD’s subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to WBD. In addition, the indenture governing the Notes allows WBD to create new subsidiaries and invest in their subsidiaries, none of whose assets you will have any claim against, except to the extent that they guarantee the Notes. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by WBD and each wholly owned domestic subsidiary of WBD that is a borrower or that guarantees the payment of any debt under the Senior Credit Facilities or any Material Debt. There can be no assurance that any other future domestic subsidiary of WBD will guarantee indebtedness of DCL or the Issuer under the Senior Credit Facilities and, as a result, be required to guarantee the Notes. In the event that a future domestic subsidiary does guarantee the Notes as a result of its guaranteeing indebtedness of DCL or the Issuer under the Senior Credit Facilities, there also can be no assurance that such guarantee of the Senior Credit Facilities and, as a result, such guarantee of the Notes, will remain in place. There can be no assurance that DCL and Scripps will continue to guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities, and thus continue to be required to guarantee the Notes.

The Notes will be effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the property securing that indebtedness.

The Notes will not be secured by any of the Issuer’s or the guarantors’ assets. As a result, the Notes and the note guarantees will be effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ future secured indebtedness with respect to the assets that secure that indebtedness. The effect of this subordination is that upon a default in payment on, or the acceleration of, any of the Issuer’s secured indebtedness, or in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of the Issuer or the guarantors, the proceeds from the sale of assets securing any secured indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all such secured debt has been paid in full. As a result, the holders of the Notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of secured debt in the event of the Issuer’s or the guarantors’ bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization.

The Notes will be structurally subordinated to all obligations of WBD’s existing and future subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that are not and do not become guarantors of the Notes.

The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by WBD and each wholly owned domestic subsidiary of WBD that is a borrower or that guarantees the payment of any debt under the Senior Credit Facilities or any Material Debt. As of the date of issuance of the Notes, DCL and Scripps will guarantee the Notes. Except for such subsidiary guarantors of the Notes, WBD’s subsidiaries, including all of its non-domestic subsidiaries, will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the Notes or to make any funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payment. The Notes and note guarantees will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of any non-guarantor subsidiary such that in the event of insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of any subsidiary that is not a guarantor, all of that subsidiary’s creditors (including trade creditors) would be entitled to payment in full out of that subsidiary’s assets before WBD or the Issuer would be entitled to any payment.

DCL and Scripps conduct a substantial amount of their operations, and WBD and the Issuer conduct substantially all of their respective operations, through subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2022, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Merger, WBD’s subsidiaries other than the Issuer, DCL and Scripps represented approximately 95% of WBD’s consolidated revenues. As of December 31, 2022, WBD’s subsidiaries other than the Issuer, DCL and Scripps represented approximately 94% of WBD’s consolidated total assets and had approximately $35.4 billion of total liabilities, including trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities.

19

In addition, WBD’s subsidiaries that provide, or will provide, note guarantees will be automatically released from those note guarantees upon the occurrence of certain events. See “Description of Notes—Guarantees—Guarantee by Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor.”

If any note guarantee is released, no holder of the Notes will have a claim as a creditor against that subsidiary, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables and preferred stock, if any, whether secured or unsecured, of that subsidiary will be effectively senior to the claim of any holders of the Notes.

Variable rate indebtedness subjects the Issuer and WBD to interest rate risk, which could cause their respective debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities and certain other indebtedness of the Issuer and WBD are at variable rates of interest and expose the Issuer and WBD to interest rate risk. As interest rates increase, the Issuer’s and WBD’s debt service obligations on their respective variable rate indebtedness increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same, and their respective net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing their respective indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease.

The indenture governing the Notes does not restrict the ability of the Issuer, WBD or any of their respective subsidiaries to incur additional unsecured debt, pay dividends or make other distributions to holders of its equity securities or repurchase their respective securities or to take other actions that could negatively impact their ability to pay their obligations under the Notes or the note guarantees, respectively.

None of the Issuer, WBD or any of their respective subsidiaries will be restricted under the terms of the indenture governing the Notes from incurring additional unsecured debt, paying dividends or making other distributions to holders of its equity securities or repurchasing its respective securities. In addition, WBD will not be restricted under the terms of the indenture governing the Notes from incurring secured indebtedness or entering into sale and leaseback transactions, and the limited covenants applicable to the Notes will not require the Issuer, WBD or any of their respective subsidiaries to achieve or maintain any minimum financial results relating to their respective financial position or results of operations. The ability to recapitalize, incur additional debt and take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the indenture governing the Notes could have the effect of diminishing the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ ability to make payments on the Notes or the note guarantees, respectively, when due.

The Issuer may not be able to repurchase all of the Notes upon a change of control triggering event, which would result in a default under the Notes.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined herein), unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, there can be no assurance that the Issuer would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy its obligations to repurchase the Notes. In addition, the ability of the Issuer to repurchase the Notes for cash may be limited by law, or by the terms of other agreements relating to its indebtedness outstanding at that time. Any failure by the Issuer to repurchase the Notes as required under the indenture governing the Notes would result in a default under the indenture, which could have material adverse consequences for the Issuer and for holders of the Notes.

Holders of the Notes may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to their right to have the Notes repurchased has occurred following a sale of “substantially all” of WBD’s assets.

One of the circumstances under which a change of control may occur is upon the sale or disposition of “all or substantially all” of WBD’s assets. There is no precise established definition of the phrase “substantially all”

20

under applicable law and the interpretation of that phrase will likely depend upon particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes to require WMH to repurchase its Notes as a result of a sale of less than all of WBD’s, to another person may be uncertain.

Changes in the Issuer’s and WBD’s credit ratings or the debt markets could adversely affect the trading prices of the Notes.

The trading prices for the Notes will depend on many factors, including:

The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated significantly in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. Such fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the trading prices of the Notes.

In addition, credit rating agencies continually review their ratings for the companies that they follow, including the Issuer and WBD. A negative change in the rating of the Issuer or WBD could have an adverse effect on the trading prices of the Notes.

There may be no active trading market for the New Notes, and, if one develops, it may not be liquid.

The New Notes will constitute new issues of securities for which there is no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any national securities exchange or for inclusion of the Notes on any automated dealer quotation system. A trading market for the Notes may not develop, or if a market for the Notes were to develop, the Notes may trade at a discount from their original offering prices, depending upon many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and our financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the Notes, the ability of the holders to sell their Notes or the prices at which the holders would be able to sell their Notes.

Risks related to the Floating Rate Notes

The Floating Rate Notes bear additional risks.

The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a floating rate, and accordingly carry significant risks not associated with conventional fixed rate debt securities. These risks include fluctuation of the interest rates and the possibility that you will receive an amount of interest that is lower than expected. WMH has no control over a number of matters, including economic, financial and political events, which are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of these risks and their results.

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is a relatively new reference rate and its composition and characteristics are not the same as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).

On June 22, 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York identified the SOFR as the rate that, in the consensus view of the ARRC, represented best practice for use in certain new U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and has been published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York

21

since April 2018. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has also begun publishing historical indicative SOFR from 2014. Investors should not rely on any historical changes or trends in SOFR as an indicator of future changes in SOFR.

The composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of LIBOR, and SOFR is fundamentally different from LIBOR for two key reasons. First, SOFR is a secured rate, while LIBOR is an unsecured rate. Second, SOFR is an overnight rate, while LIBOR is a forward-looking rate that represents interbank funding over different maturities (e.g., three months). As a result, there can be no assurance that SOFR (including Compounded SOFR) will perform in the same way as LIBOR would have at any time, including, without limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market, market volatility or global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events.

SOFR may be more volatile than other benchmark or market rates.

Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in SOFR have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in other benchmark or market rates, such as U.S. dollar LIBOR. Although changes in Compounded SOFR generally are not expected to be as volatile as changes in daily levels of SOFR, the return on and value of the Floating Rate Notes may fluctuate more than floating rate debt securities that are linked to less volatile rates. In addition, the volatility of SOFR has reflected the underlying volatility of the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has at times conducted operations in the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market in order to help maintain the federal funds rate within a target range. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will continue to conduct such operations in the future, and the duration and extent of any such operations is inherently uncertain. The effect of any such operations, or of the cessation of such operations to the extent they are commenced, is uncertain and could be materially adverse to investors in the Floating Rate Notes.

Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely affect the Floating Rate Notes.

According to the ARRC, SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR in part because it is considered a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase agreement market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants would not consider SOFR a suitable replacement or successor for all of the purposes for which U.S. dollar LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of SOFR. Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely affect the return on and value of the Floating Rate Notes and the price at which investors can sell the Floating Rate Notes in the secondary market. In addition, some investors may be unwilling or unable to trade the Floating Rate Notes without changes to their information technology systems, both of which could adversely impact the liquidity and trading price of the Floating Rate Notes.

In addition, if SOFR does not prove to be widely used as a benchmark in securities that are similar or comparable to the Floating Rate Notes, the trading price of the Floating Rate Notes may be lower than those of securities that are linked to rates that are more widely used. Similarly, market terms for floating rate debt securities linked to SOFR, such as the spread over the base rate reflected in interest rate provisions or the manner of compounding the base rate, may evolve over time, and trading prices of the Floating Rate Notes may be lower than those of later-issued SOFR-based debt securities as a result. Investors in the Floating Rate Notes may not be able to sell the Floating Rate Notes at all or may not be able to sell the Floating Rate Notes at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market, and may consequently suffer from increased pricing volatility and market risk.

22

The interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes is based on a Compounded SOFR rate and the SOFR Index, both of which are relatively new in the marketplace.

For each interest period (as defined herein), the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes is based on Compounded SOFR, which is calculated using the SOFR Index (as defined herein) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York according to the specific formula described under “Description of Notes—Interest on the Floating Rate Notes—Compounded SOFR,” not the SOFR rate published on or in respect of a particular date during such interest period or an arithmetic average of SOFR rates during such period. For this and other reasons, the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes during any interest period will not necessarily be the same as the interest rate on other SOFR-linked investments that use an alternative basis to determine the applicable interest rate. Further, if the SOFR rate in respect of a particular date during an interest period is negative, its contribution to the SOFR Index will be less than one, resulting in a reduction to Compounded SOFR used to calculate the interest payable on the Floating Rate Notes on the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (as defined herein) for such interest period.

Very limited market precedent exists for securities that use SOFR as the interest rate and the method for calculating an interest rate based upon SOFR in those precedents varies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York only began publishing the SOFR Index on March 2, 2020. Accordingly, the use of the SOFR Index or the specific formula for the Compounded SOFR rate used in the Floating Rate Notes may not be widely adopted by other market participants, if at all. If the market adopts a different calculation method, the liquidity and market value of the Floating Rate Notes would likely be affected.

Compounded SOFR with respect to a particular interest period will only be capable of being determined near the end of the relevant interest period.

The level of Compounded SOFR applicable to a particular interest period and, therefore, the amount of interest payable with respect to such interest period will be determined on the Interest Payment Determination Date (as defined herein) for such interest period. Because each such date is near the end of such interest period, you will not know the amount of interest payable with respect to a particular interest period until shortly prior to the related Floating Rate Interest Payment Date and it may be difficult for you to reliably estimate the amount of interest that will be payable on each such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. In no event will the interest on any series of the floating rate Notes be less than zero.

The SOFR Index may be modified or discontinued and the Floating Rate Notes may bear interest by reference to a rate other than Compounded SOFR, which could adversely affect the value of the Floating Rate Notes.

The SOFR Index is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York based on data received by it from sources other than WMH, and WMH has no control over its methods of calculation, publication schedule, rate revision practices or availability of the SOFR Index at any time. There can be no guarantee, particularly given its relatively recent introduction, that the SOFR Index will not be discontinued or fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of investors in the Floating Rate Notes. If the manner in which the SOFR Index is calculated, including the manner in which SOFR is calculated, is changed, that change may result in a reduction in the amount of interest payable on the Floating Rate Notes and the trading prices of the Floating Rate Notes. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may withdraw, modify or amend the published SOFR Index or SOFR data in its sole discretion and without notice. The interest rate for any interest period will not be adjusted for any modifications or amendments to the SOFR Index or SOFR data that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may publish after the interest rate for that interest period has been determined.

If WMH or its designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each, as defined herein) have occurred in respect of the SOFR Index, then the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will no longer be determined by reference to the SOFR Index, but instead will be determined by reference to a different rate, plus a spread adjustment, which WMH refers to as a “Benchmark Replacement”, as further described under “Description of Notes—Interest on the Floating Rate Notes—Compounded SOFR.”

23

If a particular Benchmark Replacement (as defined herein) or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment (as defined herein) cannot be determined, then the next available Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply. These replacement rates and adjustments may be selected, recommended or formulated by (i) the Relevant Governmental Body (as defined herein) (such as the ARRC), (ii) the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) or (iii) in certain circumstances, WMH or its designee. In addition, the terms of the Floating Rate Notes expressly authorize WMH or its designee to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes (as defined herein) with respect to, among other things, changes to the definition of “interest period”, the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, the rounding of amounts or tenors and other administrative matters. The determination of a Benchmark Replacement, the calculation of the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes by reference to a Benchmark Replacement (including the application of a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment), any implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and any other determinations, decisions or elections that may be made under the terms of the Floating Rate Notes in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, could adversely affect the value of the Floating Rate Notes, the return on the Floating Rate Notes and the price at which you can sell such Floating Rate Notes.

In addition, (i) the composition and characteristics of the Benchmark Replacement will not be the same as those of Compounded SOFR, the Benchmark Replacement may not be the economic equivalent of Compounded SOFR, there can be no assurance that the Benchmark Replacement will perform in the same way as Compounded SOFR would have at any time and there is no guarantee that the Benchmark Replacement will be a comparable substitute for Compounded SOFR (each of which means that a Benchmark Transition Event could adversely affect the value of the Floating Rate Notes, the return on the Floating Rate Notes and the price at which you can sell the Floating Rate Notes), (ii) any failure of the Benchmark Replacement to gain market acceptance could adversely affect the Floating Rate Notes, (iii) the Benchmark Replacement may have a very limited history and the future performance of the Benchmark Replacement may not be predicted based on historical performance, (iv) the secondary trading market for Floating Rate Notes linked to the Benchmark Replacement may be limited and (v) the administrator of the Benchmark Replacement may make changes that could change the value of the Benchmark Replacement or discontinue the Benchmark Replacement and has no obligation to consider your interests in doing so.

The Issuer or its designee will make certain determinations with respect to the Floating Rate Notes, which determinations may adversely affect the Floating Rate Notes.

The Issuer or its designee will make certain determinations with respect to the Floating Rate Notes as further described under “Description of Notes—Interest on the Floating Rate Notes.” For example, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Issuer or its designee will make certain determinations with respect to the Floating Rate Notes in the Issuer or its designee’s sole discretion as further described under “Description of Notes—Interest on the Floating Rate Notes—Compounded SOFR.” Any determination, decision or election pursuant to the benchmark replacement provisions not made by the Issuer’s designee will be made by the Issuer. Any of these determinations may adversely affect the value of the Floating Rate Notes, the return on the Floating Rate Notes and the price at which you can sell such Floating Rate Notes. Moreover, certain determinations may require the exercise of discretion and the making of subjective judgments, such as with respect to Compounded SOFR or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the value of the Floating Rate Notes, the return on the Floating Rate Notes and the price at which you can sell such Floating Rate Notes. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “Description of Notes—Interest on the Floating Rate Notes—Compounded SOFR.”

SOFR has a limited history, and the future performance of SOFR cannot be predicted based on historical performance.

The publication of SOFR began in April 2018, and, therefore, it has a limited history. The future performance of SOFR cannot be predicted based on the limited historical performance. Levels of SOFR going

24

forward may bear little or no relation to the historical actual or historical indicative data. Prior observed patterns, if any, in the behavior of market variables and their relation to SOFR, such as correlations, may change in the future. While the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has released some pre-publication historical data, such analysis inherently involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. Because the future performance of SOFR cannot be predicted, no future performance of SOFR may be inferred from any of the historical actual or historical indicative data. Hypothetical or historical performance data are not indicative of, and have no bearing on, the potential performance of SOFR. There can be no assurance that SOFR will be positive.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to a proposed offer to the holders of the Old Notes to issue and deliver to such holders of Old Notes, in exchange for their Old Notes, a like aggregate principal amount of New Notes that are identical in all material respects to the Old Notes, except for provisions relating to registration rights and the transfer restrictions relating to the Old Notes, and except for certain related differences described below. See “Exchange Offer; Registration Rights.”

General

On March 15, 2022, WMH issued $30.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of Notes, comprised of the following tranches: (1) $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2024 Notes, (2) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Old 2024 NC1 Notes, (3) $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2025 Notes, (4) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Old NC1 2025 Notes, (5) $4.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2027 Notes, (6) $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2029 Notes, (7) $5.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2032 Notes, (8) $4.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2042 Notes, (9) $7.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2052 Notes, (10) $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2062 and (11) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Floating Rate Notes due 2024. The Spinco Notes included $10.0 billion in aggregate principal amount issued to AT&T, comprised of the following tranches: (1) $5.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2032 Notes, (2) $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2052 Notes and (3) $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its Old 2062 Notes (collectively, the “Spinco Debt Securities”), which were transferred to two investment banks in exchange for a short-term loan of AT&T held by affiliates of such investment banks as principal for their own account (the “Securities Exchange”). The Notes (including the Spinco Debt Securities) were resold to third-party investors in a private placement exempt from registration in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.

In connection with the issuance of the Old Notes, WMH entered into the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 15, 2022, with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers. On April 8, 2022, in connection with the completion of the Merger, WBD, DCL and Scripps entered into the Counterpart to Registration Rights Agreement, agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, WMH has agreed (1) to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an exchange offer to exchange the Old Notes for registered Notes containing terms substantially similar in all material respects to the Old Notes (except that the New Notes will not be subject to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate) and evidencing the same indebtedness as the Old Notes and (2) if WMH determines that a registered exchange offer is not available or other specified circumstances occur, to have a shelf registration statement declared effective with respect to resales of the Old Notes. If we fail to satisfy the foregoing obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement by the later of (i) July 15, 2023 and (ii) 365 days of consummation of the Merger, we will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Old Notes under certain circumstances.

Terms of the Exchange Offer; Period for Tendering Old Notes

This prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal (the “letter of transmittal”) contain the terms and conditions of the exchange offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions included in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, which together constitute the exchange offer, we will accept for exchange Old Notes which are properly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date, unless you have previously withdrawn them.

When you tender Old Notes as provided below, our acceptance of the Old Notes will constitute a binding agreement between you and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions in this prospectus and in the

30

accompanying letter of transmittal. In tendering Old Notes, you should also note the following important information:

31

Important Rules Concerning the Exchange Offer

You should note the following important rules concerning the exchange offer:

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

What to Submit and How

If you, as a holder of any Old Notes, wish to tender your Old Notes for exchange in the exchange offer, you must, except as described under “—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures,” transmit the following on or prior to the Expiration Date to the Exchange Agent:

In addition,

The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted through ATOP by DTC to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, that states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement that the tendering holder has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal or, in the case of an Agent’s Message relating to guaranteed delivery, that such holder has received and further agrees to be bound by the notice of guaranteed delivery, and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal, and the notice of guaranteed delivery, as the case may be, against such holder.

The method of delivery of Old Notes, letters of transmittal, notices of guaranteed delivery and all other required documentation, including delivery of Old Notes through DTC and transmission of Agent’s Messages

32

through DTC’s ATOP, is at your election and risk. Delivery will be deemed made only when all required documentation is actually received by the Exchange Agent. Delivery of documents or instructions to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent. If delivery is by mail, we recommend that registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, be used. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely delivery to the Exchange Agent. Holders tendering Old Notes or transmitting Agent’s Messages through DTC’s ATOP must allow sufficient time for completion of ATOP procedures during DTC’s normal business hours. No Old Notes, Agent’s Messages, letters of transmittal, notices of guaranteed delivery or any other required documentation should be sent to us.

How to Sign Your Letter of Transmittal and Other Documents

Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed unless the Old Notes being surrendered for exchange are tendered:

If signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, the guarantees must be by an Eligible Institution.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person or persons other than the registered holder or holders of Old Notes, the Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate powers of attorney, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or holders appear on the Old Notes and with the signatures guaranteed.

If the letter of transmittal or any Old Notes or powers of attorney are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers or corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, the person should so indicate when signing and, unless waived by us, proper evidence satisfactory to us of such person’s authority to so act must be submitted.

Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of New Notes

Once all of the conditions to the exchange offer are satisfied or waived, we will accept all Old Notes properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, and will issue the New Notes of the same series, promptly after the Expiration Date. See “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” below. For purposes of the exchange offer, our giving of oral (promptly followed in writing) or written notice of acceptance to the Exchange Agent will be considered our acceptance of the tendered Old Notes.

In all cases, we will issue New Notes in exchange for Old Notes of the same series that are accepted for exchange only after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of:

33

If we do not accept any tendered Old Notes for any reason included in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, if you submit certificates representing Old Notes in a greater principal amount than you wish to exchange or if you properly withdraw tendered Old Notes in accordance with the procedures described under “—Withdrawal Rights,” we will return any unaccepted, non-exchanged or properly withdrawn Old Notes, as the case may be, without expense to the tendering holder. In the case of Old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC using the book-entry transfer procedures described below, unaccepted, non-exchanged or properly withdrawn Old Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. We will return the Old Notes or have them credited to the DTC account, as applicable, promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Book-Entry Transfer

The Exchange Agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the Old Notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer promptly after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s systems, including Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), or Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream”) may make book-entry delivery of Old Notes by causing DTC to transfer Old Notes into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s ATOP procedures for transfer. However, the exchange for the Old Notes so tendered will only be made after timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of Old Notes into the Exchange Agent’s account, and timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of an Agent’s Message and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal. Only participants in DTC may deliver Old Notes by book-entry transfer.

Although delivery of Old Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC, the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile copy thereof, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message, with all other required documentation, must in any case be transmitted to and received by the Exchange Agent at its address listed under “—Exchange Agent” on or prior to the Expiration Date, or you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below under “—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”

If your Old Notes are held through DTC, you must complete the accompanying form called “Instructions to Registered Holder and/or Book-Entry Participant,” which will instruct the DTC participant through whom you hold your Old Notes of your intention to tender your Old Notes or not tender your Old Notes. Please note that delivery of documents or instructions to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent and we will not be able to accept your tender of Old Notes until the Exchange Agent actually receives from DTC the information and documentation described under “—Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of New Notes.”

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you are a registered holder of Old Notes and you want to tender your Old Notes but the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed prior to the Expiration Date, your Old Notes are not immediately available or time will not permit your Old Notes to reach the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date, a tender may be effected if:

34

Withdrawal Rights

You can withdraw your tender of Old Notes at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be actually received by the Exchange Agent prior to such time, properly transmitted either through DTC’s ATOP or to the Exchange Agent at the address listed below under “—Exchange Agent.” Any notice of withdrawal must:

Please note that all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of notices of withdrawal will be determined by us, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any Old Notes so withdrawn will be considered not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. New Notes will not be issued in exchange for such withdrawn Old Notes unless the Old Notes so withdrawn are validly re-tendered.

If you have properly withdrawn Old Notes and wish to re-tender them, you may do so by following one of the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes” above at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date.

35

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue New Notes in exchange for, any Old Notes and may terminate or amend the exchange offer, if we determine in our reasonable judgment at any time before the Expiration Date that the exchange offer would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.

The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be waived by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to that condition. Our failure at any time to exercise the foregoing rights shall not be considered a waiver by us of that right. The rights described in the prior paragraph are ongoing rights which we may assert at any time and from time to time.

In addition, we will not accept for exchange any Old Notes tendered, and no New Notes will be issued in exchange for any such Old Notes, if at any time any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

We reserve the right to terminate or amend the exchange offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events.

Exchange Agent

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association has been appointed as the Exchange Agent for the exchange offer. All executed letters of transmittal, notices of guaranteed delivery, notices of withdrawal and any other required documentation should be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth below. Questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal and requests for notices of guaranteed delivery should be directed to the Exchange Agent, addressed as follows:

Delivery to an address other than the address of the Exchange Agent as listed above or transmission of instructions via facsimile other than as listed above does not constitute a valid delivery.

Fees and Expenses

The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, additional solicitation may be made by telephone or in person by our officers, regular employees and affiliates. We will not pay any additional compensation to any of our officers and employees who engage in soliciting tenders. We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. However, we will pay the Exchange Agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the exchange offer.

The estimated cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer, including legal, accounting, SEC filing, printing and Exchange Agent expenses, will be paid by us and are estimated in the aggregate to be approximately $3,800,000.

36

Transfer Taxes

Holders who tender their Old Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection therewith, except that holders who instruct us to register New Notes in the name of, or request that Old Notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder will be responsible for the payment of any applicable transfer tax.

Resale of the New Notes

Under existing interpretations of the staff of the SEC contained in several no-action letters to third parties, the New Notes would in general be freely transferable by holders thereof (other than affiliates of us) after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act (subject to certain representations required to be made by each holder of Old Notes participating in the exchange offer, as set forth below). The relevant no-action letters include the Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation letter, which was made available by the SEC on May 13, 1988, the Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated letter, which was made available by the SEC on June 5, 1991, the K-111 Communications Corporation letter, which was made available by the SEC on May 14, 1993, and the Shearman & Sterling letter, which was made available by the SEC on July 2, 1993. Neither WMH nor any guarantor, nor any of their affiliates, have entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the securities to be received in the exchange offer and, to the best of our information and belief, each person participating in the exchange offer is (i) neither an “affiliate” of WMH or any guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, nor a broker-dealer acquiring the securities in exchange for securities acquired directly from WMH or any guarantor for its own account, (ii) acquiring the securities in its ordinary course of business, and (iii) is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the securities to be received in the exchange offer and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the securities to be received in the exchange offer.

However, any purchaser of Old Notes who is an “affiliate” of ours or who intends to participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the New Notes:

We acknowledge that such secondary resale transactions should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

By executing, or otherwise becoming bound by, the letter of transmittal, each holder of the Old Notes will represent that:

We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, a no-action letter from the SEC with respect to the effects of the exchange offer, and there can be no assurance that the SEC staff would make a similar determination with respect to the New Notes as it has made in previous no-action letters.

37

In addition, in connection with any resales of those Old Notes, each exchanging dealer, as defined below, receiving New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, where such Old Notes were acquired by such exchanging dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it may be a statutory underwriter and that it must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The SEC has taken the position in the Shearman & Sterling no-action letter, which it made available on July 2, 1993, that exchanging dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the New Notes, other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the Old Notes, by delivery of the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement.

38

USE OF PROCEEDS

The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into in connection with the private offering of the Old Notes. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the New Notes as contemplated by this prospectus, we will receive Old Notes in like principal amounts, the terms of which are identical in all material respects to the New Notes, subject to limited exceptions described herein. Old Notes surrendered in exchange for New Notes will be retired and canceled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the New Notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness.

39

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

General

WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc. will issue each series of the New Notes as a separate series of debt securities. Each series of the Old Notes were, and each series of the New Notes will be, issued under the senior indenture, dated as of March 15, 2022 (the “base indenture”), among WMH, AT&T Inc., and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of April 8, 2022, among WMH, WBD, DCL, Scripps and the Trustee (the “first supplemental indenture”). We refer to the base indenture, as amended and supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, as the “indenture.” The terms of the New Notes will be substantially identical to the terms of the Old Notes except that the New Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not contain restrictions on transfer or provisions relating to additional interest, will bear different CUSIP numbers and ISINs from the Old Notes, and will not entitle their holders to registration rights. New Notes will otherwise be treated as a single class with the Old Notes for purposes of the indenture.

Because this is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. The following description of specific terms of the New Notes of each series is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the indenture, including the definitions of certain terms contained therein and those terms made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). Capitalized and other terms not otherwise defined in this prospectus have the meanings given to them in the indenture. As used in this “Description of Notes,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and “WMH” refer to WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc., the “Parent Guarantor” refers to Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., “DCL” refers to Discovery Communications, LLC, “Scripps” refers to Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc., and the “Guarantors” refers to WBD, DCL and Scripps, collectively. Such terms do not, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the subsidiaries of such entities. The terms of each series of New Notes include those stated in the indenture and those which are made a part of the indenture by the Trust Indenture Act. A copy of the indenture is available for inspection at the office of the Trustee.

The Notes will be issued only in registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The registered holder of a New Note will be treated as the owner of the New Note for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the indenture.

Secured Overnight Financing Rate and the SOFR Index

SOFR is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities.

The SOFR Index is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and measures the cumulative impact of compounding SOFR on a unit of investment over time, with the initial value set to 1.00000000 on April 2, 2018, the first value date of SOFR. The SOFR Index value reflects the effect of compounding SOFR each business day and allows the calculation of compounded SOFR averages over custom time periods.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York notes on its publication page for the SOFR Index that use of the SOFR Index is subject to important limitations, indemnification obligations and disclaimers, including that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may alter the methods of calculation, publication schedule, rate revision practices or availability of the SOFR Index at any time without notice. The interest rate for any interest period will not be adjusted for any modifications or amendments to the SOFR Index or SOFR data that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may publish after the interest rate for that interest period has been determined.

42

Compounded SOFR

“Compounded SOFR” will be determined by the calculation agent in accordance with the following formula (and the resulting percentage will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point):

where:

“SOFR IndexStart” equals the SOFR Index value on the preceding Interest Payment Determination Date;

“SOFR IndexEnd” equals the SOFR Index value on the Interest Payment Determination Date relating to the applicable floating rate interest payment date (or in the final interest period, relating to the applicable maturity date); and

“dc” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period.

For purposes of determining Compounded SOFR,

“Interest Payment Determination Date” means the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days before each floating rate interest payment date.

“Observation Period” means, in respect of each interest period, the period from, and including, the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the first date in such interest period to, but excluding, the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the floating rate interest payment date for such interest period (or in the final interest period, preceding the applicable maturity date).

“SOFR Index” means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

“SOFR” means the daily secured overnight financing rate as provided by the SOFR Administrator on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

“SOFR Administrator” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of SOFR).

“SOFR Administrator’s Website” means the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.

“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

43

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Floating Rate Notes, if WMH or its designee determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each as defined below) have occurred with respect to determining Compounded SOFR, then the benchmark replacement provisions set forth below under “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable the Floating Rate Notes.

For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the benchmark replacement provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate for each interest period on the Floating Rate Notes will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement (as defined below) and the applicable margin.

SOFR Index Unavailable Provisions

If a SOFR IndexStart or SOFR IndexEnd is not published on the associated Interest Payment Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR” means, for the applicable interest period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/reference-rates/additional-information-about-reference-rates. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days” shall be removed. If SOFR does not so appear for any day, “i” in the Observation Period, SOFRi for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

Effect of Benchmark Transition Event

Any determination, decision or election pursuant to the benchmark replacement provisions shall be made by WMH or WMH’s designee (which may be an affiliate of WMH but in no event shall be the initial calculation

44

agent, the Trustee or the initial paying agent) on the basis as described above. The calculation agent shall have no liability for not making any such determination, decision or election.

“Benchmark” means, initially, Compounded SOFR, as such term is defined above; provided that if WMH (or WMH’s designee) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR (or the published SOFR Index used in the calculation thereof) or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by WMH or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date; provided that if the Benchmark Replacement cannot be determined in accordance with clause (1) below as of the Benchmark Replacement Date and WMH or its designee shall have determined that the ISDA Fallback Rate determined in accordance with clause (2) below is not an industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated Floating Rate Notes at such time, then clause (2) below shall be disregarded, and the Benchmark Replacement shall be determined in accordance with clause (3) below:

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by WMH or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definitions or interpretations of interest period, the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, the rounding of amounts or tenors, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that WMH (or its designee) decide may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if WMH or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if WMH (or its designee) determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as WMH (or its designee) determines is reasonably practicable).

45

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including any daily published component used in the calculation thereof):

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published component used in the calculation thereof):

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

“ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

“Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means (1) if the Benchmark is Compounded SOFR, the SOFR Index Determination Time, as such time is defined above, and (2) if the Benchmark is not Compounded SOFR, the time determined by WMH or its designee in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

46

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

The interest rate and amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for each interest period will be determined by the calculation agent. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association will initially serve as the calculation agent. All determinations made by the calculation agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on WMH and the holders of the Floating Rate Notes. So long as Compounded SOFR is required to be determined with respect to the Floating Rate Notes, there will at all times be a calculation agent. In the event that any then acting calculation agent shall be unable or unwilling to act, or that such calculation agent shall fail duly to establish Compounded SOFR for any interest period, or WMH proposes to remove such calculation agent, WMH shall appoint another calculation agent.

None of the Trustee, the paying agent and the calculation agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of SOFR or the SOFR Index, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate or index have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.

None of the Trustee, the paying agent and the calculation agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this prospectus as a result of the unavailability of SOFR, the SOFR Index or other applicable Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any failure, inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this prospectus and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

Ranking

The New Notes will be WMH’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment to all of its existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of its future subordinated debt. The New Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of WMH’s future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and the New Notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities of WMH’s subsidiaries.

The indenture provides that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount, as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its subsidiary guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the subsidiary guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law, or being void or unenforceable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors.

Each such subsidiary guarantee will be a continuing guarantee and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the principal amount of all outstanding Notes (whether by payment at maturity, purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition) and all other subsidiary guaranteed obligations of the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor then due and owing, unless earlier terminated as described below, (ii) be binding upon such Subsidiary Guarantor and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the holders and their permitted successors, transferees and assigns.

owing. Upon any such occurrence specified in this paragraph and delivery of an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by WMH in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of such subsidiary guarantee.

Further Issues

WMH may from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, the registered holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes of any series offered hereby ranking equally and ratably with the Notes of a series in all respects, so that such additional Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes of such series and will have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes of such series (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the first interest payment date and the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue), provided that if such additional Notes are not fungible with the original Notes of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by WMH, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to WMH by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Fixed Rate Notes of the series to be redeemed. Any notice may, at WMH’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In that case, such notice shall state the nature of such conditions precedent, and, if applicable, state that the date of redemption may be delayed until the conditions are satisfied or that, if the conditions are not satisfied, such redemption may not occur and the notice may be rescinded. Unless WMH defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the series of Fixed Rate Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent specified in the related notice of redemption.

If less than all of the Fixed Rate Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Fixed Rate Notes of such series shall be selected by the Trustee by such method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate in accordance with applicable depositary procedures and any applicable stock exchange.

Mandatory Redemption; Open Market Purchases

WMH is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes of any series. However, under certain circumstances, WMH may be required to offer to purchase the Notes

as described under the caption “—Change of Control Offer to Repurchase.” WMH may acquire Notes, from time to time and at any time, by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the indenture.

Change of Control Offer to Repurchase

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless WMH has exercised its right to redeem a series of Notes in full, as described under “—Optional Redemption,” holders of Notes of any series offered hereby will have the right to require WMH to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of holders of Notes of such series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at WMH’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, WMH will be required to send, by first class mail, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, a notice to holders of Notes of any series not redeemed, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will set forth the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the repurchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, or otherwise delivered to each holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed or otherwise delivered to each holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, may state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Notes of any series not redeemed electing to have their Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the note completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the paying agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the paying agent, prior to the close of business on the third business day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

WMH will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by WMH and such third party purchases all Notes of a series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

WMH will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes of a series, WMH will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries, or WMH and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise, established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes of any series offered hereby to require WMH to repurchase such Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries, or WMH and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) may be uncertain.

52

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer discussion above, the following definitions are applicable:

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” with respect to the Notes of a series means that such series becomes rated below Investment Grade by each Rating Agency on any date from the date of the public notice by the Parent Guarantor or WMH of an arrangement that results in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice by the Parent Guarantor or WMH of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period will be extended so long as the rating of such series of Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided, however, that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event), if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Ltd., and its successors.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P), a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s) and a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Fitch).

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

53

“Rating Agency” means (1) each of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch; and (2) if any of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of WMH’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by WMH (as certified by a resolution of the board of directors of the Parent Guarantor and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) as a replacement agency for S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, or all of them, as the case may be.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc., and its successors.

“Significant Shareholder” means each of (a) the Parent Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries and (b) any other “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) if 50% or more of the Voting Stock of such person is “beneficially owned” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, by the Parent Guarantor or one of its subsidiaries or any combination thereof.

“Voting Stock” of any specified person as of any date means any and all shares or equity interests (however designated) of such person that are at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors, managers or trustees of such person, as applicable.

Certain Covenants

The indenture does not contain any provisions that would limit the ability of the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of Notes protection in the event of a sudden and significant decline in the credit quality of the Parent Guarantor or WMH or a takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction involving the Parent Guarantor or WMH.

Limitation on Liens

WMH will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any lien on any property or asset, to secure any debt of WMH, any subsidiary or any other person, or permit any subsidiary to do so, without securing the Notes equally and ratably with such debt for so long as such debt will be so secured, subject to certain exceptions. The exceptions include:

54

55

If any Subsidiary Guarantor and its subsidiaries are subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor but not subsidiaries of WMH, then such Subsidiary Guarantor and its subsidiaries shall be treated as if they were subsidiaries of WMH for all purposes under the indenture, including for purposes of the provisions described above in “—Limitation on Liens” and the provisions described below in “—Limitation on Sale and Leasebacks.”

For all purposes under the indenture, the term “debt” of any person means any debt for money borrowed which is created, assumed, incurred or guaranteed in any manner by such person or for which such person is otherwise responsible or liable, and shall expressly include any such guaranty thereof by such person. For the purpose of computing the amount of the debt of any person there shall be excluded all debt of such person for the payment or redemption or satisfaction of which money or securities (or evidences of such debt, if permitted under the terms of the instrument creating such debt) in the necessary amount shall have been deposited in trust with the proper depositary, whether upon or prior to the maturity or the date fixed for redemption of such debt; and, in any instance where debt is so excluded, for the purpose of computing the assets of such person there shall be excluded the money, securities or evidences of debt deposited by such person in trust for the purpose of paying or satisfying such debt.

“Permitted Securitization Financing” means any financing arrangement or factoring of Securitization Assets by WBD or any subsidiary and any securitization facility of any Securitization Subsidiary, in each case, the obligations of which are non-recourse (except for Standard Securitization Undertakings) to WBD or any subsidiary (other than any Securitization Subsidiary) in connection therewith.

“Securitization Assets” means accounts receivable, loans, mortgages, royalties, other rights to payment, supporting obligations therefor, proceeds therefrom and other related assets customarily disposed of or pledged

56

in connection with non-recourse receivables financings or factorings or securitization facilities (as determined in good faith by WBD or any subsidiary).

“Securitization Subsidiary” means any subsidiary formed for purposes of consummating any Permitted Securitization Financing and which holds no material assets other than Securitization Assets and which is engaged in no material activities other than those related to such Permitted Securitization Financing.

“Standard Securitization Undertakings” means representations, warranties, covenants (including repurchase obligations) and indemnities entered into by WBD or any subsidiary that WBD or such subsidiary, as applicable, has determined in good faith are customary for “non-recourse” accounts receivables financings or factoring or securitization financings.

Limitation on Sale and Leasebacks

WMH will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person pursuant to which WMH or any subsidiary leases any property that has been or is to be sold or transferred by WMH or the subsidiary to such person (a “sale and leaseback transaction”), except that a sale and leaseback transaction is permitted if WMH or such subsidiary would be entitled to secure the property to be leased (without equally and ratably securing the outstanding Notes) in an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments with respect to the term of the lease remaining on the date as of which the amount is being determined, without regard to any renewal or extension in the lease, discounted at the rate of interest set forth or implicit in the terms of the lease, compounded semi-annually (such amount is referred to as the “attributable debt”).

In addition, permitted sale and leaseback transactions not subject to the limitation above and the provisions described in “—Limitation on Liens” above include:

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

Neither WMH nor the Parent Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of its property and assets substantially as an entirety to another entity unless:

In connection with any transaction that is covered by this covenant, WMH must deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel each stating that the transaction complies with the terms of the indenture.

57

In the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other conveyance, but not a lease, in a transaction in which there is a successor entity to WMH or the Parent Guarantor, the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, WMH or the Parent Guarantor, respectively, under the indenture and WMH or the Parent Guarantor, respectively, will be released from its obligations under the Notes or the guarantee, as applicable, and the indenture.

Future Subsidiary Guarantors

The Parent Guarantor will cause (1) each wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary that is a borrower or that guarantees the payment of any debt under the Senior Credit Facilities and (2) each wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary that is a borrower or issuer or that guarantees the payment of any Material Debt, to execute and deliver to the Trustee within 30 days a supplemental indenture, in form and substance required by the indenture, pursuant to which such wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes, whereupon such Domestic Subsidiary will become a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes under the applicable supplemental indenture. See “—Guarantees—Guarantee by Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor” above.

Events of Default

Any one of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to each series of Notes:

If an Event of Default (other than the bankruptcy or insolvency provision) with respect to the Notes of a series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all of the outstanding

58

Notes of such series may declare the principal of all the Notes of such series to be due and payable. When such declaration is made, such principal will be immediately due and payable. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series may rescind such declaration or acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing events of default have been cured or waived (other than nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely as a result of acceleration). If a bankruptcy or insolvency event occurs, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes will immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the Notes.

The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of a series of Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of such series of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from holders of such series of Notes. A holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to the senior indenture or any series of Notes unless:

Each holder shall agree in the indenture that no one or more holders of any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of the indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such holder of Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder or to enforce any right under the indenture , except in the manner provided above and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Notes of the applicable series.

These limitations, however, do not apply to the right of any holder of a Notes to receive payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on such Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date for the Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the holder. The trustee may withhold from holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.

The indenture requires certain of WMH’s officers to certify, on or before a fixed date in each year in which any Notes are outstanding, as to their knowledge of WMH’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture.

Amendment and Waiver

WMH, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the indenture or the Notes without the consent of any holder to:

59

Other amendments and modifications of the indenture or the Notes of any series may be made, and WMH’s and the Guarantors’ compliance with any provision of the indenture with respect to any series of Notes may be waived, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series affected by the amendment or modification; provided, however, that each affected holder must consent to any modification, amendment or waiver that:

60

It shall not be necessary for the holders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if the holders’ consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this section of the indenture becomes effective, the trustee must give to the holders affected thereby certain notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure by the trustee to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The indenture provides that WMH (a) may be discharged from its obligations in respect of any series of Notes (“defeasance and discharge”), or (b) may cease to comply with certain restrictive covenants (“covenant defeasance”) when WMH has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds to pay the principal of and interest to stated maturity (or redemption) on, such series of Notes or (ii) such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the U.S. government (or a combination of amounts deposited in (i) and (ii)), as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon without consideration of any reinvestment, be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and interest to stated maturity (or redemption) on, the Notes of such series. Such defeasance and discharge and covenant defeasance are conditioned upon, among other things, WMH’s delivery of an opinion of counsel that the holders of the applicable series of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance, and will be subject to tax in the same manner as if no defeasance and discharge or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had occurred. In the case of defeasance and discharge only, such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling of the IRS or other change in applicable federal income tax law.

If WMH effects covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes of any series as described in the accompanying prospectus, then the covenants described above under “—Certain Covenants” and “—Change of Control Offer to Repurchase” will cease to be applicable to the Notes of such series.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The indenture provides that, when (a) WMH or Parent Guarantor delivers to the Trustee for cancellation all outstanding Notes or all outstanding Notes of any series and all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (other than (i) Notes or Notes of such series, and coupons, if any, that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid, (ii) coupons called for redemption and maturing after the relevant redemption date, whose surrender has been waived, and (iii) Notes or Notes of such series and coupons, if any, for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by WMH or Parent Guarantor and thereafter repaid to WMH or Parent Guarantor or discharged) or (b) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year and WMH or Parent Guarantor deposits with the trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds to pay the principal of and interest to stated maturity (or redemption) on, all outstanding Notes or all outstanding Notes of such series of Notes or (ii) such

61

amount of direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the U.S. government (or a combination of amounts deposited in (i) and (ii)), the indenture will cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Notes or any series of Notes (“satisfaction and discharge”).

No Personal Liability of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers, Directors, Members

The indenture provides that no recourse shall be had under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of WMH or any Guarantor in the indenture or any supplemental indenture, or in any of the Notes or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director or member, past, present or future, of WMH or any Guarantor or of any predecessor or successor entity of WMH or any Guarantor under any law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise. Each holder, by accepting the Notes, waives and releases all such liability.

Governing Law

The indenture, the Notes and the guarantees are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The Trustee

The indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in such indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The indenture and the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, incorporated by reference therein, contain limitations on the rights of the Trustee thereunder should it become a creditor of the Parent Guarantor, WMH or any of their subsidiaries, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions, provided that if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act), it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

62

BOOK-ENTRY, FORM AND DELIVERY

The New Notes will be issued as fully-registered global senior notes which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered, at the request of DTC, in the name of Cede & Co. Beneficial interests in the global senior notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct or indirect participants in DTC. Investors may elect to hold their interests in the global senior notes through either DTC (in the United States) or (in Europe) through Clearstream or through Euroclear. Investors may hold their interests in the global senior notes directly if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in these systems. Interests held through Clearstream and Euroclear will be recorded on DTC’s books as being held by the U.S. depositary for each of Clearstream and Euroclear (the “U.S. Depositories”), which U.S. Depositories will, in turn, hold interests on behalf of their participants’ customers’ securities accounts. Beneficial interests in the global senior notes will be held in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Except as set forth below, the global senior notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.

The New Notes represented by a global senior note can be exchanged for definitive securities in registered form only if:

A global New Note that can be exchanged as described in the preceding sentence will be exchanged for definitive securities issued in authorized denominations in registered form for the same aggregate amount. The definitive securities will be registered in the names of the owners of the beneficial interests in the global New Note as directed by DTC.

We will make principal and interest payments on all New Notes represented by a global senior note to the paying agent which in turn will make payment to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the New Notes represented by a global senior note for all purposes under the indenture. Accordingly, we, the Trustee and any paying agent will have no responsibility or liability for:

DTC has advised us that its current practice is to credit participants’ accounts on each payment date with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global senior note as shown on DTC’s records, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information. The underwriters will initially designate the accounts to be credited. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial

63

interests in a global senior note will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in “street name,” and will be the sole responsibility of those participants. Book-entry Notes may be more difficult to pledge because of the lack of a physical note.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

All payments of principal and interest on the New Notes will be made by WBD in immediately available funds. The New Notes will trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System until maturity, and secondary market trading activity in the Notes will therefore be required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds.

64

EXCHANGE OFFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The following summary describes the material terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement. We urge you to read the Registration Rights Agreement in its entirety because it, not the following summary, will define your rights as a holder of Notes under that agreement. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is included as Exhibit 4.3 to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part and may also be obtained upon request at the address set forth under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

As used in this section, “Guarantors” refers to WBD and each wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of WBD that is a borrower or that guarantees the payment of any debt under the Senior Credit Facilities or any Material Debt.

In connection with the issuance of the Old Notes and the Merger, WMH, the Guarantors and the initial purchasers entered into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which WMH agreed, for the benefit of the holders of Old Notes, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (1) cause to be filed with the SEC an exchange offer registration statement on an appropriate registration form with respect to an offer to (i) exchange the Old Notes for New Notes having substantially identical terms as the Old Notes of the corresponding series and evidencing the same indebtedness as the Old Notes of the corresponding series (except that the New Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or contain provisions relating to additional interest, will bear different CUSIP numbers than the Notes, will not entitle their holders to registration rights and will be subject to terms relating to book-entry procedures and administrative terms relating to transfers that differ from those of the Notes, as discussed below) and (ii) exchange the guarantees related to the Notes for registered guarantees related to the Notes having substantially the same terms as the original note guarantees, and (2) cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act.

When the SEC declares the registration statement effective, WMH will offer (i) the New Notes in return for the Old Notes and (ii) the guarantees related to the New Notes in return for the guarantees related to the Old Notes. The exchange offer will remain open for at least 20 business days (or shorter or longer if required by applicable law) after the date WMH mails notice of the exchange offer to the holders of Old Notes. For each Old Note surrendered to WMH under the exchange offer, the holder will receive a New Note of such series of equal principal amount. Interest on each New Note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Old Note surrendered in exchange therefor.

Each holder of Old Notes that participates in the exchange offer will be required to represent:

WMH will use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer promptly after the registration statement becomes effective. Under existing interpretations of the SEC contained in several no-action

65

letters to third parties, the New Notes will generally be freely transferable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act, except that any broker-dealer that participates in the exchange must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act when it resells the New Notes.

Old Notes of any series not tendered in the exchange offer will bear interest at the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and be subject to all the terms and conditions specified in the indenture, including transfer restrictions, but will not retain any rights under the Registration Rights Agreement (including with respect to additional interest) after the consummation of the exchange offer.

In the event that WMH determines that a registered exchange offer is not available or may not be completed because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC, or, if for any reason, an exchange offer is not completed by July 15, 2023, or any holder shall so request following the consummation of the registered exchange offer with respect to any Old Notes held by it that were not eligible for exchange, WMH and the Guarantors will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Notes, other than Notes held by their affiliates and to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the earliest of (A) the time when any such Notes covered by the shelf registration statement can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitations by non-affiliates of ours under clause (d) of Rule 144, (B) the date on which all such Notes are disposed of in accordance with the shelf registration statement and (C) one year after its original effective date. WMH and the Guarantors will, in the event of such a shelf registration, provide to each holder of Notes copies of a prospectus, notify each holder of Notes when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions to permit resales of the Notes. A holder that sells Notes under the shelf registration statement generally will be required to make certain representations to WMH (as described above), to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with those sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement that are applicable to such a holder (including certain indemnification obligations). Holders of Notes will also be required to suspend their use of the prospectus included in the shelf registration statement under specified circumstances upon receipt of notice from WMH. Under applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC, WMH’s affiliates will not be permitted to exchange their Old Notes for New Notes in the exchange offer.

A “registration default” will occur if the exchange offer is not for any reason completed by July 15, 2023 (or, if required, the applicable shelf registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to July 15, 2023, or if any registration statement required by the registration rights agreement has been declared effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the related prospectus ceases to be usable at any time during the required effectiveness period (subject to certain exceptions), and such failure to remain effective or be usable exists for more than 90 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period. In that case, the annual interest rate borne by the Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue, provided that the rate at which such additional interest accrues may in no event exceed 0.50% per annum) until the exchange offer is completed, the shelf registration statement is declared effective or such registration statement and related prospectus become effective or usable again.

Any amounts of additional interest due will be payable in cash on the same original interest payment dates as interest on the Old Notes is payable.

66

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with the resale of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes, where such Old Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that the registration statement will remain effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 120 days from the date on which the registration statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which no broker-dealer is required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Notes by broker-dealers. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time, in one or more transactions, through the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the New Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at prevailing market prices at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or, alternatively, to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such New Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells New Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such New Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of such New Notes, which may be this prospectus. Any profit on any such resale of New Notes and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. In addition, the letter of transmittal states that if the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer that will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, where such Old Notes were not acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, such broker-dealer will not be able to participate in the exchange offer.

For a period ending on the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date on which the registration statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which no broker-dealer is required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (other than the expenses of counsel for the holders of the Old Notes), other than brokerage commissions and applicable transfer taxes, and will indemnify certain holders of the New Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Based on interpretations by the Staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties (including Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991), K-111 Communications Corporation (available May 14, 1993) and Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993)), we believe that the New Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder of such New Notes, other than any such holder that is a broker-dealer or an “affiliate” of us within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

We have not sought and do not intend to seek a no-action letter from the SEC, with respect to the effects of the exchange offer, and there can be no assurance that the Staff would make a similar determination with respect to the New Notes as it has in such no-action letters.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange offer (as described under “The Exchange Offer”). This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to different interpretation. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to specific Holders (as defined below) in light of their particular circumstances (including Holders that are directly or indirectly related to us) or to Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as banks, insurance companies, dealers in securities or other Holders that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, Holders that hold the Notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or other integrated transaction or Holders that are U.S. persons and have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar). This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax considerations. As used in this discussion, the term “Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note.

The exchange of an Old Note for a New Note pursuant to the exchange offer will not be treated as a sale or exchange of such Old Note by a Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a Holder of an Old Note will not recognize any gain or loss upon the exchange of such Old Note for a New Note pursuant to the exchange offer. Such Holder’s holding period for such New Note will include such Holder’s holding period for such Old Note, and such Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such New Note will be the same as such Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Old Note.

There will be no U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Holder of an Old Note that does not participate in the exchange offer.

EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND ANY OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER IN LIGHT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc. (“WMH”) and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (“WBD”) are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that the certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer who has consented to service of process to the registered agent of the corporation (such officer, a “senior officer”) to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or senior officer, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability: (i) for any breach of the director’s or senior officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) of a director or senior officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) of a director under Section 174 of Title 8 of the DGCL; (iv) for any transaction from which the director or senior officer derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) of a senior officer for any action by or in the right of the corporation. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director or senior officer for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc.

The WBD charter provides that, consistent with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, no director shall be liable to WBD or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to WBD or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper benefit.

Provisions in the WBD bylaws provide that WBD will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any action or suit by WBD or in its right, by reason of the fact that such person is or was its director, officer, employee, or, while such person is or was a director, officer or employee of WBD, is or was serving at WBD’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, but in each case only if and to the extent permitted under applicable state or federal law.

II-1

The WBD bylaws further state that this indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which the indemnified person may be entitled.

WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc.

The WMH charter provides that, consistent with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, no director shall be liable to WMH or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to WMH or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper benefit.

Provisions in the WMH bylaws provide that WMH will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and other applicable law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any action or suit by WMH or in its right, by reason of the fact that such person is or was its director, officer, employee, or, while such person is or was a director, officer or employee of WMH, is or was serving at WMH’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, such person is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a director, officer or manager of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such proceeding.

The WMH bylaws further state that this indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which the indemnified person may be entitled.

Discovery Communications, LLC (“DCL”) is a limited liability company formed in the State of Delaware.

Section 18-303(a) of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”) provides that, except as otherwise provided by the DLLCA, the debts, obligations and liabilities of a limited liability company shall be solely the limited liability company’s, and no member or manager of a limited liability company shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability solely by reason of being a member or acting as a manager.

Section 18-108 of the DLLCA states that subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company has the power to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Section 19 of DCL’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “DCL LLC Agreement”) provides that no member, manager or officer shall be liable to DCL, the member or any other person or entity who or that has an interest in DCL for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such member, manager or officer in good faith on behalf of DCL and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such member, manager or officer by the DCL LLC Agreement, except that the member, manager or officer shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such member’s, manager’s or officer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, the member, manager or officer shall be entitled to indemnification from DCL for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such member, manager or officer by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such member, manager or officer in good faith on behalf of DCL and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such member, manager or officer by the DCL LLC Agreement, except that no member, manager or officer shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by the member, manager or officer by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under Section 19 of the DCL LLC Agreement shall be provided out of and to the extent of DCL’s assets only, and no member, manager or officer shall have personal liability on the account thereof.

II-2

Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. (“Scripps”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio.

Under Ohio law, Ohio corporations are authorized to indemnify directors, officers, employees, and agents within prescribed limits and must indemnify them under certain circumstances. Ohio law does not provide statutory authorization for a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees, and agents for settlements, fines, or judgments in the context of derivative suits. However, it provides that directors (but not officers, employees, and agents) are entitled to mandatory advancement of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in defending any action, including derivative actions, brought against the director, provided the director agrees to cooperate with the corporation concerning the matter and to repay the amount advanced if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that his act or failure to act was done with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard to the corporation’s best interests.

Ohio law does not authorize payment of judgments to a director, officer, employee, or agent after a finding of negligence or misconduct in a derivative suit absent a court order. Indemnification is required, however, to the extent such person succeeds on the merits. In all other cases, if a director, officer, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, indemnification is discretionary except as otherwise provided by a corporation’s articles, code of regulations, or by contract except with respect to the advancement of expenses of directors.

Under Ohio law, a director is not liable for monetary damages unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that his action or failure to act was undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for the best interests of the corporation. There is, however, no comparable provision limiting the liability of officers, employees, or agents of a corporation. The statutory right to indemnification is not exclusive in Ohio, and Ohio corporations may, among other things, procure insurance for such persons.

Scripps’ articles of incorporation provide that Scripps shall indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized by Ohio law, any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of Scripps, or by reason of the fact that he or she is or was serving, at Scripps’ request, as an officer, director, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation (including a subsidiary of Scripps) or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by us. Scripps’ articles of incorporation also provide that Scripps shall pay, to the fullest extent authorized by Ohio law, expenses incurred by an officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition on the same basis as provided for directors under Ohio law. Any amendment of this provision will not reduce indemnification obligations relating to actions taken before such amendment.
