Media reporting on OSB
29 November 2019

In response to media reporting on matters relating to Outside Broadcast Ltd (OSB), Sky
provides the following comments:

Sky is looking at a range of options to transform and grow the business in a digital world.

Among a number of options, Sky is looking at its capital investments and assessing whether
they are being optimised.

That work includes Sky’s Outside Broadcast service division OSB, and Sky is at the early
stages of assessing its options, including inviting NEP to assess the OSB assets.

Sky purchased OSB in 2010 and they deliver exceptional services for Sky Sport. Regardless
of what decisions are made about its future ownership, OSB’s technology and the expertise
of the OSB crew are an important part of the Sky Sport delivery, and that won’t change.

Producing and delivering excellent sport up and down New Zealand, from grassroots to high
performance, is what Sky Sport does.

The question being asked is whether Sky needs to use its own capital to deliver the Outside
Broadcast aspects, and Sky is only at the early stages of that process. No decisions have
been made.
