This excerpt taken from the DIS 10-Q filed Feb 7, 2007. ABC Radio Transaction On February 6, 2006, the Company and Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (Citadel) announced an agreement to merge the ABC Radio business, which consists of 22 of the Companys owned radio stations and the ABC Radio Network, with Citadel. The ESPN Radio and Radio Disney networks and station businesses are not included in the transaction. The merger is expected to occur after the ABC Radio business is distributed to Disney shareholders (the Distribution), which is expected to be completed through a spin-off. The agreement was subsequently amended on November 19, 2006. Under the amended terms, (i) Disneys shareholders are expected to collectively receive approximately 57% of Citadels common stock post-merger, and (ii) the Company expects to retain between $1.10 billion and $1.35 billion in cash, depending upon the market price of Citadels common stock over a measurement period ending prior to the closing. This cash will be obtained from loan proceeds raised by ABC Radio from third-party lenders prior to the Distribution. If the market price of Citadels common stock over the measurement period were the same as Citadels stock price on February 2, 2007, the Company estimates the aggregate value of the retained cash and Citadel common stock to be received by Disney shareholders would be approximately $2.6 billion. The amended agreement provides that the closing will occur no earlier than May 31, 2007, unless Citadel elects to close at an earlier date subject to closing conditions within the merger agreement. The closing is also subject to regulatory approvals, and that either party may terminate the agreement if the closing does not occur by June 15, 2007. Once the Distribution has occurred, the Company will report the results of the ABC Radio business for the current and prior periods separately as discontinued operations. Since the transaction is expected to be a spin-off, the Company expects that there will be no gain or loss. As of December 30, 2006, the net assets of the ABC Radio business were approximately $1.4 billion.
