Discovery Communications Announces the Pricing Terms of its Cash Tender Offer for Certain Outstanding Debt Securities of Discovery Communications, LLC

SILVER SPRING, Md., March 14, 2017

The Total Consideration for each series of Notes is based on the applicable reference yield plus a fixed spread, in each case as set forth in the table below, and is payable to holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2017 (the "Early Tender Deadline") and whose Notes are accepted for purchase. The Reference Yields listed in the table were determined at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 14, 2017 by the dealer managers (identified below). The Total Consideration for each series of Notes includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such holders and accepted for purchase.

Because the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Deadline exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount, all 2020 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase and the 2019 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Deadline accepted for purchase will be subject to proration as described in the Offer to Purchase. Holders who validly tender Notes following the Early Tender Deadline but on or before the Expiration Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.

Settlement of the Tender Offer was conditioned upon receipt by the Offeror of at least $650,000,000 of gross cash proceeds from the issuance of senior notes in a registered public offering.  This condition was satisfied on March 13, 2017.

Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company.

Payments for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for Notes accepted for purchase. The settlement date for the Notes accepted for purchase in connection with the Early Tender Deadline is expected to be on March 15, 2017, two business days following the Early Tender Deadline. In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, the withdrawal deadline was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2017. As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Offeror).

Although the Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 27, 2017 (the "Expiration Date"), because holders of Notes subject to the tender offer validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline for which the aggregate principal amounts exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount, holders who validly tender Notes following the Early Tender Deadline but on or before the Expiration Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.
