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 April 25, 2018, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 272,770,350 shares of Class A Common Stock (consisting of (y) 162,334,771 shares of Class A Common Stock (after giving effect to the exercise of the Unit Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Initial Warrants on April 25, 2018), and (z) 110,435,579 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable as of April 23, 2018 upon the conversion of the Series B  Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares (but not yet converted)), representing approximately 75.8% of the outstanding shares of CME Common Stock.  Excluding the Shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares, as of the close of business on April 25, 2018, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of CME Common Stock.  As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 28, 2013, TW Holdings B.V. purchased 200,000 of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares on June 25, 2013. From and after June 25, 2016, TW Holdings B.V. may, at its option, convert the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares into the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock determined by dividing (x) the accreted stated value of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends by (y) the conversion price, which is currently approximately $2.42 following adjustments to the conversion price in connection with the issuance of the Unit Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Initial Warrants.  The adjustments were made pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares. The initial stated value of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares accretes at an annual rate of 7.5%, compounded quarterly, from (and including) June 25, 2013 to (but excluding) June 25, 2016, and at an annual rate of 3.75%, compounded quarterly, from (and including) June 25, 2016 to (but excluding) June 25, 2018. The 75.8% of CME Common Stock that the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership represents has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3, and thus was calculated by dividing (a) 272,770,350 shares of Class A Common Stock (the sum of the 162,334,771 shares of Class A Common Stock (after giving effect to the exercise of the Unit Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Initial Warrants on April 25, 2018) and the conversion of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares (none of which has been converted by the Reporting Persons)) by (b) 360,084,112 shares of Class A Common Stock (the sum of (i) the 148,721,537 shares of Class A Common Stock and 0 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, both as of April 23, 2018, as disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 filed by the Issuer on April 26, 2018, plus (ii) 46,822,524 shares of Class A Common Stock issued under the Unit Warrants, plus (iii) 24,104,472 shares of Class A Common Stock issued under the Private Placement Warrants, plus (iv) 30,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued under the Initial Warrants, plus (v) 110,435,579 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable as of April 23, 2018 upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares), and such calculation should not be read as an indication of the Reporting Persons intentions with respect to converting the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares. None of 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 Class A Common Stock other than as set forth herein.
 
(b) As of the close of business on April 25, 2018, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 272,770,350 shares of Class A Common Stock.  Excluding the 100,926,996 shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the Initial Proxies and the
 
110,435,579 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable as of April 23, 2018 upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to 61,407,775 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1 share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, representing the power to vote 45.4% of the shares entitled to vote on matters voted on at a general meeting other than a Change of Control Event, based on the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of April 23, 2018 and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
 (c) Except as described in Item 6 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.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraph at the end thereof:

Standing Proxies/Authorizations and Proxy Agreement

On April 25, 2018, each of Time Warner and TW Holdings B.V. granted each director of the Company who is "independent" (as determined under Part 229.407 of Title 17 of the United States of America Code of Federal Regulations) a standing proxy/authorization (the "TW Proxy" and "TW Holdings Proxy", as applicable, and collectively, the "Initial Proxies"), pursuant to which Time Warner and TW Holdings B.V. appointed such directors as its agent to vote the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the applicable Initial Proxy (23,700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, in the case of the TW Proxy, and 77,226,996 shares of Class A Common Stock, in the case of the TW Holdings Proxy)  at any general meeting of the Issuer in the same proportion as votes cast at such meeting in respect of shares not subject to the TW Proxy and TW Holdings Proxy.  The Initial Proxies remain effective for a period of one year, unless the applicable grantor and its affiliates cease to beneficially own a majority of the voting equity securities of the Issuer, in which case, the applicable Proxy terminates automatically.  The Initial Proxies do not apply to any general meeting that has been convened to vote on a Change of Control Event (as defined in the applicable Initial Proxy).  Time Warner and TW Holdings B.V. will retain their ability to vote the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the TW Proxy and TW Holdings Proxy at any such meeting, subject to the terms of the Proxy Agreement (as defined herein).
 
On April 25, 2018, the Issuer entered into a letter agreement by and among the Issuer, Time Warner and TW Holdings B.V. (the "Proxy Agreement"), pursuant to which each of Time Warner and TW Holdings B.V. (i) agreed to enter into a new proxy in substantially the same form as the TW Proxy and TW Holdings Proxy, as applicable, with a term commencing on the expiration of the applicable Initial Proxy and ending one year from the date of such new proxy, and (ii) have the ability at their option to deliver to the Issuer a new proxy in substantially the same form as the TW Proxy and TW Holdings Proxy, as applicable, with a term commencing on the expiration of the applicable proxy delivered pursuant to clause (i) and ending one year from the date of such new proxy (the proxies referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the "Additional Proxies"), and (iii) agreed not to revoke the Initial Proxies or Additional Proxies, as applicable, prior to the applicable date of expiration set forth therein.
 

 
 
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Proxy Agreement, during the term of the Initial Proxies and the Additional Proxies, if a general meeting of the Issuer is convened to vote on a Change of Control Event, then with respect to any other matters voted on at such meeting that do not relate to the Change of Control Event, Time Warner and TW Holdings B.V. have agreed that the votes of the Class A Common Stock subject to the Initial Proxies or Additional Proxies, as applicable, will be cast to reflect the proportion of votes cast at such meeting excluding those with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock that are subject to the Initial Proxies or Additional Proxies, as applicable.

Pursuant to the terms of the Proxy Agreement, TWX has agreed to indemnify the Issuer for certain third-party claims arising out of or in connection with the Proxy Agreement. The Proxy Agreement automatically terminates with respect to the Initial Proxies and Additional Proxies on the date the applicable proxy terminates in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing descriptions of the TW Proxy, the TW Holdings Proxy and the Proxy Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the TW Proxy, the TW Holdings Proxy and the Proxy Agreement, which are attached to this Amendment No. 24 as Exhibit 99.48, Exhibit 99.49 and Exhibit 99.50, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
