Sky completes Lightbox deal
3 February 2020



Sky is pleased to confirm that it has completed the purchase of entertainment
streaming service Lightbox from Spark.

The deal enables Sky to merge Lightbox with its own entertainment streaming
service Neon, creating a super-charged service for New Zealand customers with the
best content from New Zealand and around the world.

Sky and Spark have a partnership to offer Lightbox and the new merged service to
Spark customers. The deal includes Spark customers who receive ‘Lightbox on us’
from Spark continuing to enjoy Lightbox, along with plans to offer the new merged
service to Spark customers once it has launched. More details on the new offer will
be revealed closer to the launch date.

Until the launch of the new merged service, Lightbox and Neon customers will
continue to access great content on their respective services, with no change to
price or the way they access the service.

Sophie Moloney, Sky’s Chief Legal, People and Partnerships Officer, says: “We are
delighted to welcome over 130,000 Lightbox customers* to the Sky world, and look
forward to delivering a super-charged new service to all New Zealanders towards the
middle of this year. We also welcome the Lightbox team to Sky and look forward to
working together to create a special new service.

“Neon and Lightbox have a superb line-up of content, including Outlander, Love
Island UK, The Handmaid’s Tale and Westworld. Bringing them together will create
the leading locally-delivered streaming service for New Zealanders.”

*Please note: Measured as ‘active in the last 30 days’. At the time of completion
