Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 7”) amends the Schedule 13D originally filed on April 1, 2009 (the “Original 13D”), as previously amended on May 21, 2009 by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, on December 8, 2009 by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D, on March 4, 2011 by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D, on May 3, 2012 by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D, on June 20, 2012 by Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D and on June 27, 2012 by Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D (the Original 13D as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), filed by Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Time Warner”), TW Media Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Time Warner (“TW Media”), and Time Warner Media Holdings B.V., a besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or a private limited company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of TW Media (“TW Holdings B.V.” and, together with Time Warner and TW Media, the “Reporting Persons”). This Amendment No. 7 relates to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.08 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd., a Bermuda company (the “Issuer”) with its principal executive offices at 85 Tottenham Court Road, London W1T 4TQ, United Kingdom. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 7, items in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraphs at the end thereof:
On July 3, 2012, the Issuer repaid $0.3 million of outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2013 Notes tranche of the TW Loans and exercised the Issuer Option pursuant to which TW Holdings B.V. was required to purchase from the Issuer a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (i) the remaining $90.8 million of outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2013 Notes tranche of the TW Loans divided by (ii) $7.51. Pursuant to the Issuer Option and the terms of the 2012 Subscription Agreement, on July 3, 2012, TW Holdings B.V. purchased 874,819 shares of Class A Common Stock and one share of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which will automatically convert into 11,211,449 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to customary adjustments for stock splits and other similar reclassifications affecting the Class A Common Stock) on the date that is 61 days after the date on which the Group Cap no longer applies. The purchase price for the Class A Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was paid to the Issuer by cancellation of the remaining $90.8 million of outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2013 Notes tranche of the TW Loans, and, as a result, no TW Loans remain outstanding. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the CME Common Stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Issuer.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:
(a) As of the close of business on July 3, 2012, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 32,898,443 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 42.6% of the outstanding shares of CME Common Stock. As of the close of business on July 3, 2012 and by virtue of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own (x) 5,616,936 shares of Class A Common Stock and (y) 30,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 64,000 shares of Class B Common Stock underlying currently exercisable stock options (together, the “Lauder Shares”) beneficially owned by Mr. Lauder as disclosed by Mr. Lauder in the Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC by him on June 22, 2012, representing approximately 7.4% of the outstanding shares of CME Common Stock, based on calculations made in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) of the Act, as amended. The percentages of beneficial ownership have been determined based on the 77,185,129 shares of Class A Common Stock and 0 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of July 3, 2012, each based on a certificate delivered by the Issuer in connection with the Issuer’s exercise of the Issuer Option.
Neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other person named in Annexes A, B or C beneficially owns any shares of CME Common Stock other than as set forth herein.
(b) As of the close of business on July 3, 2012, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 38,609,379 shares of Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Deed and subject to the conditions contained therein, TW Holdings B.V. has irrevocably granted RSL Savannah LLC (a company wholly owned by Mr. Lauder) the right to vote any equity securities of the Issuer owned by TW Holdings B.V. and its permitted transferees during the term of the Voting Deed, with the power to appoint a corporate representative or proxies of such shareholders in all matters (subject to certain exceptions described below in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D) with respect to the voting of the equity securities of the Issuer held by such shareholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, Mr. Lauder and certain of his affiliates have agreed to use their best efforts to vote all equity securities beneficially owned by Mr. Lauder in favor of up to two designees of TW Holdings B.V. to the Issuer’s board of directors, subject to certain limitations and to not vote in favor of certain matters with respect to the capitalization of the Issuer, each as described in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, direct and indirect transfers of the shares of equity securities of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons to unaffiliated third parties are subject to certain restrictions, including consent rights, rights of first offer and tag-along rights, as described in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Lauder Shares.
The descriptions of the Voting Deed and the Investor Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Voting Deed and First Amendment to the Investor Rights Agreement, which were filed as Exhibits 99.10, 99.11 and 99.18 to the Schedule 13D, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.
(c) Except as described in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D, no transactions in the securities of the Issuer were effected by the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, any other person named in Annexes A, B and C during the past 60 days.
(d) Except for the Reporting Persons, no other person is known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(e) Not applicable.
