Distribution

Modern Times Group MTG AB (publ.) (‘MTG' or ‘the Group'), the
international entertainment broadcasting group, today announced that
Viasat Broadcasting has signed an exclusive four year pan-Scandinavian
distribution agreement with Twentieth Century Fox Television
Distribution. The deal is the first of its kind in Scandinavia as it
covers the broadcasting of a range of blockbuster movies and hit TV
series on Viasat's Scandinavian free-TV channels, as well as the online
and mobile rights to the Hollywood Studio's content for the Viaplay
multi-screen online video streaming service. The four year deal starts
from 2012.

The agreement covers first run rights to recently released blockbuster
Fox feature films including Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Black Swan,
Never Let Me Go, The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn
Treader, Gulliver's Travels and X-Men: First Class. The agreement also
provides access to classic library titles including Titanic,
Independence Day and Braveheart.

Viasat has also acquired all first run rights to Fox US network
television TV series produced from the beginning of 2012. Previous hit
shows have included Buffy - The Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, Ally
McBeal, 24 and Prison Break. In addition, the agreement provides Viasat
with the rights to library TV titles and US network TV movies and
mini-series.

TV viewers in Scandinavia will be able to watch this broad and exciting
selection of newly released and library movies and TV series on Viasat's
nine leading free-TV entertainment channels (TV3, TV3 HD, TV6, TV8,
TV3+, TV3+ HD, Viasat4, TV3 Puls and TV10). The same selection will also
be available via web-connected devices from Viaplay, which includes
free-TV catch-up services (TV3 Play in Sweden and Norway, TV3 Gensyn in
Denmark, TV6 Play and TV8 Play in Sweden, Viasat 4 Play in Norway, and
TV3+ Gensyn and TV3 Puls Gensyn in Denmark), as well as pay-TV
video-on-demand services.

Hans-Holger Albrecht, President and CEO of MTG, commented: “Fox has a
fantastic track record of creating massively popular movies and TV
series. This agreement not only further strengthens our linear
programming schedule, but also enhances our ever-increasing offering of
online streamed content. This is a groundbreaking deal for both Fox and
MTG and we are proud to be the first to have structured such a deal in
Scandinavia. Viasat is the home of entertainment and our objective is to
provide viewers with the highest quality TV content on multiple
distribution platforms”.

Marion Edwards, President of International Television at Twentieth
Century Fox Television Distribution, commented: “Fox and Viasat are
perfect partners in this important marketplace. Combining the
