NOTE O — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 12, 2004, the Company sold its investment in Univision Corporation for $599.4 million in proceeds. As a result, the Company
recorded a gain of $47.0 million in “Gain (loss) on marketable securities”. Proceeds were used to pay down the Company’s domestic credit
facilities.
On February 19, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share on the Company’s Common
Stock. The dividend is payable on April 15, 2004 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2004.
On February 25, 2004, the Company redeemed 454.4 million of its 6.5% senior notes due July 7, 2005, for 477.7 million plus accrued
interest. As a result of this redemption, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $30.3 million on the early extinguishment of debt. After this
redemption, 195.6 million of the 6.5% senior notes remain outstanding. The remaining notes outstanding continue to be designated as a hedge
of the Company’s net investment in Euro denominated assets. Additionally, on February 25, 2004, the Company entered into a United States
dollar — Eurodollar cross currency swap with a notional amount of 497.0 million. The swap requires the Company to make fixed interest
payments on the Euro notional amount while it receives fixed interest payments on the equivalent U.S. dollar notional amount, all on a semi-
annual basis. The Company has designated the swap as a hedge of its net investment in Euro denominated assets.
