Legal and organizational structure of the Group

Organizational structure – Business units and segments

In June 2007, ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG acquired all of the SBS Broadcasting Group (SBS). As part of the first consolidation of SBS (July 3, 2007), the segment structure of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group was revised to better address the Group’s expanded international business operations. In addition to the Free TV in German-Speaking Europe and Free TV International segments, a Diversification segment was set up. In simplified terms, the Group’s reporting structure looks as follows:

The four German stations (Sat.1, ProSieben, kabel eins and N24) are consolidated in the
Free TV in German-Speaking Europe segment. This segment also includes ProSiebenSat.1
Produktion, the Sat.1 regional companies, the marketing company SevenOne Media, and
the Group’s subsidiaries in Austria (PUL S 4 among them) and Switzerland.

The commercial TV stations in the Benelux countries (Netherlands, Belgium), Northern
Europe (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden) and the CEE region (Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania) are consolidated in the Free TV International segment.

International diversification activities, such as radio and print, are reported together
with other established diversification operations (online, basic pay TV, call TV, video on
demand, licensing/merchandising) under the Diversification segment.
