PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION—DATED MARCH 15, 2013

AZTECA ACQUISITION CORPORATION

The Stockholders and Public Warrantholders of Azteca Acquisition Corporation ("Azteca") are hereby invited to attend a special meeting.

If you are an Azteca stockholder you will be asked to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 22, 2013, (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Azteca, InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC ("WAPA"), Cine Latino, Inc. ("Cinelatino"), Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. ("Hemisphere"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinelatino, Hemisphere Merger Sub I, LLC, Hemisphere Merger Sub II, Inc. and Hemisphere Merger Sub III, Inc., providing for the combination of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino as indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere (the "Transaction"). Completion of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If you are an Azteca warrantholder, you will be asked to consent to an amendment to the terms of your warrant (the "Warrant Amendment"). Specifically you will be asked to (1) reduce by 50% the number of shares of Azteca common stock for which your warrants are exercisable (from one share to one-half share), with the warrant price being reduced to $6.00 per half share, (2) agree to waive certain re-pricing rights that you would have had, if after consummation of the Transaction, Azteca subsequently entered into certain transactions in which the consideration to be received consisted principally of securities of a private company and (3) agree to amend Azteca's registration obligations in exchange for the ability to exercise the warrants on a cashless basis at the election of Azteca under certain circumstances. Upon approval of this amendment, each warrantholder would receive $0.50 per warrant. Approval of the Warrant Amendment by the holders of at least 65% of the outstanding public warrants is a condition to consummation of the Transaction.

The Transaction is structured as the issuance of stock by a newly-formed entity, Hemisphere, to the equity holders of Azteca, Cinelatino and WAPA in three different mergers with subsidiaries of Hemisphere. Hemisphere will have two classes of common stock, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. These shares will have equal rights, except that each share of Class A common stock will have one vote and each share of Class B common stock will have ten votes. In connection with the Transaction, the following will occur:

Outstanding Azteca Common Stock

  Azteca currently has 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding, of which 2,500,000 are held by the Azteca Initial Stockholders (as defined below). 250,000 of the shares held by the Azteca Initial Stockholders will be contributed to Azteca immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction and cancelled. The remaining 12,250,000 shares of Azteca Common Stock, of which 2,250,000 are held by the Azteca Initial Stockholders, will be converted into an equal number of shares of Hemisphere Class A Common Stock.

Outstanding Amended Azteca Warrants

 

14,666,667 Amended Azteca Warrants will be converted into an equal number of warrants issued by Hemisphere (i.e. warrants to purchase 7,333,334 shares of Hemisphere Class A Common Stock).

Hemisphere Class A Common Stock

 

Aggregate of 19,583,334 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock will be issued to Azteca stockholders or reserved for issuance to holders of warrants to acquire shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock.

Azteca Affiliates

 

Will sell to Azteca, immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, 2,333,334 Amended Azteca Warrants (i.e., warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares) for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50.

Current Owners of WAPA and Cinelatino

 

Will have their ownership interests converted, into an aggregate of 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock plus $5.0 million. In addition, such owners purchase from Hemisphere, immediately after the consummation of the Transaction, 2,333,334 Warrants (i.e., warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock) that are substantially identical to the Amended Azteca Public Warrants for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50. The current owners of WAPA and Cinelatino have agreed to subject a total of 3,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock to certain forfeiture provisions if the market price of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not reach certain levels.

Azteca's Sponsor, Juan Pablo Albán, Alfredo Elias Ayub, John Engelman and Clive Fleissig (the "Azteca Initial Stockholders")

 

Have agreed to subject 250,000 additional shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to certain forfeiture provisions (in addition to the 735,294 shares already subject to forfeiture) if the market price of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not reach certain levels. In addition, the Azteca Initial Stockholders will contribute to Azteca a total of 250,000 shares of Azteca common stock for no consideration and such shares will be cancelled.


Additional Considerations About the Transaction

         In addition to evaluating the consideration to be issued in, and the capital structure that will be outstanding after, the Transaction, there are many other matters that you should consider before you decide whether you will approve (1) the Merger Agreement if you are an Azteca stockholder or (2) the Warrant Amendment if you are an Azteca Public Warrantholder. These include the following:

         AZTECA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THAT WARRANTHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE WARRANT AMENDMENT.

         Information about the special meetings of stockholders and warrantholders and the Transaction is contained in this document, which we urge you to read carefully. In particular, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 42.

         Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meetings of stockholders or warrantholders, please return the enclosed proxy card to vote your shares and/or Public Warrants as soon as possible. If you do not vote either your shares and/or your Public Warrants, it will have the same effect as voting against the respective proposals.

  Sincerely,

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held on April 4, 2013

To Our Stockholders:

        A special meeting of stockholders of Azteca Acquisition Corporation ("Azteca") will be held at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 on April 4, 2013, at 9:30 a.m., Eastern time, for the following purposes:

        When you consider the recommendations of the Azteca Board, you should keep in mind that certain of Azteca's directors and officers may have direct and indirect interests in the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Transaction") that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled, "The Transaction—Interests of Azteca Officers and Directors in the Transaction."

        The Azteca Board has fixed March 10, 2013, as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting of stockholders or one or more adjournments thereof. Only holders of record of shares of Azteca common stock at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on March 10, 2013 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting of stockholders or one or more adjournments or postponements thereof.

        AZTECA IS PROVIDING ITS PUBLIC STOCKHOLDERS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO REDEEM THEIR PUBLIC SHARES OF AZTECA COMMON STOCK FOR CASH IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE GREATER OF $10.05 PER SHARE OR THE QUOTIENT OBTAINED BY DIVIDING (I) THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT THEN ON DEPOSIT IN A TRUST ACCOUNT HOLDING THE PROCEEDS OF AZTECA'S INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (THE "TRUST ACCOUNT"), AS OF TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION, LESS FRANCHISE AND INCOME TAXES PAYABLE AND LESS ANY INTEREST THAT AZTECA WAS PERMITTED TO WITHDRAW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT DATED JUNE 29, 2011, BY AND BETWEEN AZTECA AND CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY (THE "TRUST AGREEMENT") FOR WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS, BY (II) THE TOTAL NUMBER OF THEN OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SHARES (THE "PRO RATA SHARE OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT"). THERE WILL BE NO REDEMPTION RIGHTS UPON THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION WITH RESPECT TO OUTSTANDING WARRANTS OF AZTECA.

        AZTECA'S INITIAL STOCKHOLDERS HAVE AGREED TO WAIVE THEIR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THEIR FOUNDER SHARES AND ANY PUBLIC SHARES THEY MAY HOLD IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONSUMMATION OF A TRANSACTION, AND THE


Table of Contents

FOUNDER SHARES WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM THE PRO RATA CALCULATION USED TO DETERMINE THE PER-SHARE REDEMPTION PRICE.

        Azteca will consummate the Transaction only if holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Azteca common stock are voted in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote all the shares they own in favor of the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

        InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. directly holds 100% of the economic interests in WAPA and indirectly holds 47.5% of the common stock of Cinelatino through its controlling interest in InterMedia Cine Latino, LLC.

        Azteca is simultaneously asking warrantholders owning Azteca warrants issued in Azteca's initial public offering to approve and consent to an amendment (the "Warrant Amendment") to the terms of the warrant agreement governing Azteca's outstanding warrants (the "Warrant Agreement"), pursuant to which (i) each warrant to purchase Azteca common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction (including the warrants issued to Azteca's Sponsor which we refer to as the "Sponsor Warrants") will become exercisable for one-half of the number of shares of common stock of Azteca at an exercise price of $6.00 per half-share (the "Amended Azteca Warrants"), (ii) each holder of Azteca warrants (including Sponsor Warrants) will receive, for each such warrant (in exchange for the reduction of shares for which such warrants are exercisable), $0.50 in cash, (iii) the obligation to reduce the warrant price upon the occurrence of certain transactions in which the consideration to be received includes securities of a private company will be removed to permit the Amended Azteca Warrants to be treated as equity for reporting purposes, and (iv) the Public Warrants will be able to be exercised on a "cashless basis" at the election of Azteca under certain circumstances. Upon consummation of the Transaction, each Amended Azteca Warrant will be converted into an equal number of Hemisphere warrants and will be exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on the same terms as were in effect with respect to such Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock and therefore only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by the registered warrantholder. For example, if a registered warrantholder holds one warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Hemisphere ("Hemisphere Class A common stock"), such warrant shall not be exercisable. If a registered warrantholder holds two warrants, such warrants shall be exercisable for one share of Hemisphere Class A common stock.

        Each public stockholder of Azteca common stock may elect to redeem such holder's Public Shares, irrespective of whether such holder votes for or against the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. Azteca has no specified maximum redemption threshold. However, Azteca will not consummate the Transaction unless it has at least $80.0 million of cash, after giving effect to any redemptions by Azteca's stockholders, but before giving effect to cash payable pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, payment of the deferred underwriting fees payable to Azteca's underwriter in connection with its initial public offering and consulting fees due to certain of Azteca's consultants and advisors, transaction expenses and any cash contribution from WAPA or Cinelatino, held in the Trust Account. Azteca's public stockholders will be able to redeem their shares up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

        As set forth in Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a public stockholder of Azteca, together with any of such holder's affiliates or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming such holder's shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares sold in Azteca's initial public offering.

        Azteca may enter into privately negotiated transactions to purchase Public Shares from stockholders prior to consummation of the Transaction with proceeds to be released from the Trust Account immediately following consummation of the Transaction. As specified under Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, Azteca may instruct the trustee under the Trust Agreement


Table of Contents

that amounts necessary to purchase up to 15% of the Public Shares sold in Azteca's initial public offering at any time commencing after the filing of a preliminary proxy statement for an initial business combination and ending on the record date for the stockholder meeting to approve such initial business combination (such purchases being referred to herein as "Open Market Purchases") be released to Azteca from the Trust Account. Such Open Market Purchases may be made only at per share prices (inclusive of commissions) that do not exceed an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account divided by (B) the total number of Public Shares then outstanding. Any Public Shares so purchased shall be immediately cancelled.

        For more information about the proposals and the special meeting of stockholders, please review carefully the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

        Your vote is important.    Whether or not you expect to attend the special meeting of stockholders in person, please submit a proxy by telephone or over the internet as instructed in these materials, or complete, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, as promptly as possible in order to ensure that we receive your proxy with respect to your shares of Azteca common stock. Instructions are shown on the enclosed proxy card and a return envelope (postage pre-paid if mailed in the United States) is enclosed for your convenience. If your shares of Azteca common stock are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, please follow the instructions that you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares.

        If you sign, date and mail your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and in favor of the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to submit your proxy by telephone or over the Internet and do not attend the special meeting of stockholders in person, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting of stockholders and, if a quorum is present, will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Broker non-votes will count in determining whether a quorum is present. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the special meeting of stockholders and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

        Please do not send documents or certificates representing your ownership of Azteca common stock at this time. If the Transaction is consummated, we will notify you of the procedures for exchanging your shares of Azteca common stock.

    By Order of the Board of Directors,

AZTECA ACQUISITION CORPORATION
421 N. BEVERLY DRIVE, SUITE 300
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90210

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF WARRANTHOLDERS
To be held on April 4, 2013

To Our Public Warrantholders:

        A special meeting of warrantholders owning warrants of Azteca Acquisition Corporation ("Azteca"), each of which is exercisable for one share of Azteca common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued in Azteca's initial public offering (such warrants, the "Public Warrants" and such holders, the "Public Warrantholders") will be held at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 on April 4, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, for the following purposes:

        1.     To consider and vote upon an amendment (the "Warrant Amendment") to the warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") that governs all of the Azteca warrants in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 22, 2013, (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Azteca, Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. ("Hemisphere"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinelatino (as defined below), InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC ("WAPA"), Cine Latino, Inc. ("Cinelatino"), Hemisphere Merger Sub I, LLC, Hemisphere Merger Sub II, Inc. and Hemisphere Merger Sub III, Inc., providing for the combination of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino as indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere, which will be a parent holding company (collectively, the "Transaction"). Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment (i) each warrant to purchase Azteca common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction (including all of the Sponsor Warrants) will become exercisable for one-half of the number of shares of common stock of Azteca at an exercise price of $6.00 per half-share (the "Amended Azteca Warrants"), (ii) each holder of Azteca warrants (including Sponsor Warrants) will receive, for each such warrant (in exchange for the reduction of shares for which such warrants are exercisable), $0.50 in cash, (iii) the obligation to reduce the warrant price upon the occurrence of certain transactions in which the consideration to be received includes securities of a private company will be removed to permit the Amended Azteca Warrants to be treated as equity for reporting purposes, and (iv) the Public Warrants will be able to be exercised on a "cashless basis" at the election of Azteca under certain circumstances. Upon consummation of the Transaction, each outstanding Amended Azteca Warrant will be automatically converted into an equal number of warrants issued by Hemisphere (i.e. warrants to purchase 7,333,334 shares of Hemisphere Class A Common Stock) and will become exercisable on the same terms as were in effect with respect to such warrants immediately prior to the Transaction, as amended by the Warrant Amendment. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock and therefore only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by the registered warrantholder. For example, if a registered warrantholder holds one warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Hemisphere ("Hemisphere Class A common stock"), such warrant shall not be exercisable. If a registered warrantholder holds two warrants, such warrants shall be exercisable for one share of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Approval of the Warrant Amendment requires approval by warrantholders holding at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants. The effect of the Warrant Amendment will be to reduce the number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants by half, thereby reducing the amount by which Hemisphere stockholders would otherwise have been diluted as a result of the exercise in full of the warrants. If the Transaction is not completed, the Warrant Amendment will not become effective, even if warrantholders have approved the Warrant Amendment. The Transaction will not be consummated unless the Warrant Amendment is approved by holders of 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants, even if the Transaction proposal is approved by our stockholders.

        2.     To consider and vote upon the adjournment of the special meeting of warrantholders, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in favor of the Warrant Amendment Proposal (the "Warrantholder Adjournment Proposal"); and

        3.     To transact such other business as may properly come before the special meeting of warrantholders or any reconvened meeting following an adjournment or postponement thereof.

        The board of directors of Azteca (the "Azteca Board") has fixed March 10, 2013, as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, as the record date for the determination of warrantholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting of warrantholders or one or more adjournments thereof. Only holders of record of Public Warrants at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on March 10, 2013 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting of warrantholders or one or more adjournments or postponements thereof.

        The Azteca Board unanimously recommends that Public Warrantholders vote "FOR" the Warrant Amendment Proposal and "FOR" the Warrantholder Adjournment Proposal. When you consider the recommendation of the Azteca Board in favor of the Warrant Amendment Proposal, you should keep in mind that certain of Azteca's directors and officers may have direct and indirect interests in the Transaction that may conflict with your interests as a warrantholder. See the section entitled, "The Transaction—Interests of Azteca Officers and Directors in the Transaction."

If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to submit your proxy by telephone or over the internet and do not attend the special meeting of warrantholders in person, the effect will be that your warrants will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting of warrantholders and, if a quorum is present, will have the same effect as a vote against the Warrant Amendment Proposal. Broker non-votes will count in determining whether a quorum is present. If you are a warrantholder of record and you attend the special meeting of warrantholders and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

        Please do not send documents or certificates representing your ownership of Public Warrants at this time. If the transactions contemplated by the Warrant Amendment Proposal are consummated, you will receive a subsequent letter explaining what to do.

        A complete list of Public Warrantholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting of warrantholders will be available for ten days before the special meeting of warrantholders at the principal executive offices of Azteca for inspection by warrantholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting of warrantholders.

Information about the Transaction and Warrant Amendment

Q:
Why is Azteca holding a special meeting of stockholders?

A:
Azteca, Hemisphere, WAPA, Cinelatino and the Merger Subs have entered into the Merger Agreement providing for the combination of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino as indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Azteca Merger Sub will be merged with and into Azteca, WAPA Merger Sub will be merged with and into WAPA and Cine Merger Sub will be merged with and into Cinelatino. Upon consummation of the Transaction, Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino will each become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere. As a result, following the consummation of the Transaction, (i) the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will own Hemisphere Class B common stock and warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock, (ii) the Azteca stockholders will own Hemisphere Class A common stock and (iii) the Azteca warrantholders will own warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock. In connection with the Transaction, Hemisphere has applied to list its shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "HMTV." Hemisphere expects its warrants will trade on the OTCBB under the symbol "HMTVW" following the consummation of the Transaction.

Q:
Why is Azteca proposing the Transaction?

A:
Azteca is a Delaware blank check company initially formed in the British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on June 8, 2011 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Azteca's business plan is not limited to a particular industry, geographic region or minimum transaction value for purposes of consummating an initial business combination, except that it is not, under its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, permitted to effect a business combination with a blank check company or a similar type of company with nominal operations.
Q:
Why is Azteca holding a special meeting of warrantholders?

A:
At a special meeting of warrantholders, Azteca will ask its Public Warrantholders to approve and consent to the Warrant Amendment pursuant to which (i) each of the warrants to purchase Azteca common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement (including all of the Sponsor Warrants) will become exercisable for one-half of the number of shares of common stock of Azteca at an exercise price of $6.00 per half-share, (ii) each holder of Azteca warrants (including all of the Sponsor Warrants) will receive, for each such warrant (in exchange for the reduction of shares for which such warrants are exercisable), $0.50 in cash, (iii) the obligation to reduce the warrant price upon the occurrence of certain transactions in which the consideration to be received includes securities of a private company will be removed to permit the Amended Azteca Warrants to be treated as equity for reporting purposes and (iv) the Public Warrants will be able to be exercised on a "cashless basis" at the election of Azteca under certain

Table of Contents

Q:
Why is Azteca proposing the Warrant Amendment Proposal?

A:
The approval of the Warrant Amendment Proposal is a condition to consummate the Transaction. Azteca and the Current Sponsor Warrantholders have agreed to effect the Warrant Amendment in connection with the consummation of the Transaction in order to reduce the dilutive effect of the exercise of the Hemisphere warrants (which were Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction), as these warrants will represent the right to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock following the consummation of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not completed, the Warrant Amendment will not become effective, even if warrantholders have approved the Warrant Amendment.

Q:
What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Transaction?

A:
Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino are not required to complete the Transaction unless a number of conditions are satisfied or waived. These conditions include, among others: (1) approval of the Transaction by stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Azteca common stock; (2) approval of the Warrant Amendment by warrantholders holding at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants, (3) absence of any injunctions, orders or laws that would prohibit, restrain or make illegal the Transaction; (4) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, and the absence of any stop order; (5) Azteca's having at least $80.0 million of cash in the Trust Account, after giving effect to any redemptions by Azteca's stockholders, but before giving effect to cash payable pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, payment of the deferred underwriting fees payable to Azteca's underwriter

Q:
When do you expect the Transaction to be completed?

A:
Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino are working to complete the Transaction as quickly as possible, and we anticipate that it will be completed in the first quarter of 2013. However, the Transaction is subject to various regulatory approvals and other conditions which are described in more detail in this proxy statement/prospectus, and it is possible that factors outside the control of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino could result in the Transaction not being completed prior to April 6, 2013, the last possible day for a completion of a business combination.

Q:
What will Azteca stockholders receive in the Transaction?

A:
Upon consummation of the Transaction, each share of Azteca common stock will be automatically converted into one share of Hemisphere Class A common stock. In addition to the 735,294 shares subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 15, 2011, as amended on January 22, 2013 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), the Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to subject an additional 250,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to certain forfeiture provisions if the market price of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not reach certain levels. Shares held by Azteca as treasury stock or that are owned by Azteca, Azteca Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Azteca, which we refer to as the Azteca excluded shares, will not receive the Transaction consideration and will be canceled.

Q:
What will Azteca warrantholders receive in the Transaction?

A:
Upon consummation of the Transaction, each Amended Azteca Warrant will be automatically converted into an equal number of warrants issued by Hemisphere on the same terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, as amended by the Warrant Amendment.

Q:
What will the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors receive in the Transaction?

A:
The WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will receive an aggregate of 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock and a cash payment equal to an aggregate of $5.0 million. The WAPA/Cinelatino Investors have agreed to subject a total of 3,000,000 shares of the 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock to certain forfeiture provisions if the market price of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not reach certain levels.

Table of Contents

Q:
What equity stake and voting percentage will the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors and the Azteca stockholders hold in Hemisphere?

A:
Upon consummation of the Transaction, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will hold 100% of the issued and outstanding Hemisphere Class B common stock and the Azteca stockholders will hold 100% of the issued and outstanding Hemisphere Class A common stock. Assuming no redemptions by the Azteca stockholders and no repurchases of the Azteca common stock prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors and the Azteca stockholders will own approximately 73% and 27%, respectively, of the capital stock of Hemisphere, excluding warrants. Assuming the maximum amount of redemptions by the Azteca stockholders and no repurchases of the Azteca common stock prior to the consummation of the Transaction, such that $80 million remained in the Trust Account, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors and the Azteca stockholders will own approximately 76% and 24%, respectively, of the capital stock of Hemisphere, excluding warrants.
Q:
What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after completion of the Transaction?

A:
Upon consummation of the Transaction, the funds deposited in the Trust Account will be released to pay (i) Azteca public stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights, (ii) approximately $7.3 million to the Azteca warrantholders pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, (iii) the deferred underwriting fees payable to Azteca's underwriter in connection with its initial public offering and consulting fees due to certain of Azteca's consultants and advisors, (iv) approximately $4.0 million of transaction fees and expenses associated with the Transaction, (v) the cash consideration in the aggregate amount of $5.0 million payable to the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (vi) an aggregate of $3.8 million to MVS in consideration for the termination of a multi-year exclusive distribution agreement. Any amounts remaining will be used for the working capital and general corporate purposes of Hemisphere following the consummation of the Transaction.

Q:
If the Transaction is completed, when can I expect to receive the Hemisphere Class A common stock for my shares of Azteca common stock?

A:
Azteca Certificated Shares: As soon as reasonably practicable after the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere will cause an exchange agent to mail to each holder of certificated shares of Azteca common stock a form of letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the exchange of Azteca common stock for Hemisphere Class A common stock. After receiving the proper documentation from a holder of Azteca common stock, the exchange agent will deliver to such holder the Hemisphere Class A common stock to which such holder is entitled under the Merger Agreement.

Table of Contents

Q:
What are my U.S. Federal income tax consequences as a result of the Transaction?

A:
It is anticipated that the Transaction will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code. If the Transaction qualifies as an exchange described in Section 351, then U.S. holders (as defined in the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences") of Azteca common stock generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of Azteca common stock for Hemisphere Class A common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is a risk that a U.S. holder of Azteca common stock will be taxed on the Hemisphere Class A common stock received in the Azteca Merger at ordinary income rates to the extent the stockholder is deemed to receive Hemisphere Class A common stock other than as consideration for the stockholder's Azteca common stock surrendered in the Azteca Merger.
Q:
What interests do Azteca's current officers and directors have in the Transaction?

A:
Azteca's directors and executive officers may have direct and indirect interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in conflict with, yours. These interests include the continued service of certain directors of Azteca as directors of Hemisphere, and the indemnification of former Azteca directors and officers by Hemisphere and the surviving corporations.

Information about the Special Meeting of Stockholders

Q:
How do the Azteca Initial Stockholders intend to vote their shares?

A:
Pursuant to the provisions of the insider letter entered into between Azteca and the Azteca Initial Stockholders prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, each of the Azteca Initial Stockholders has agreed to vote all the shares they own, which constitute approximately 20% of Azteca's outstanding shares of common stock, for the Transaction proposal. To the extent any Azteca insider or officer or director of Azteca has acquired shares of Azteca common stock in, or subsequent to, Azteca's initial public offering, such holder has agreed to vote these acquired shares in favor of the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement. In addition, pursuant to a support agreement entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, each of the Azteca Initial Stockholders, other than Mr. Engelman and Mr. Ayub, has agreed, among other things, to vote all of their shares of Azteca common stock in favor of the Transaction proposal and the stockholder adjournment proposal.

Table of Contents

Q:
What happens if I sell my shares of Azteca common stock before the special meeting of stockholders?

A:
The record date for the special meeting, which we refer to as the record date, is earlier than the date of the special meeting and the date that the Transaction is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares after the record date, but before the special meeting, unless the transferee requests a proxy, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting of stockholders, but will have transferred the right to receive the Transaction consideration. In order to receive the Transaction consideration, you must hold your shares through completion of the Transaction. In addition, you will only be able to exercise redemption rights for the shares of Azteca common stock for which you are the stockholder of record as of the record date.

Q:
What happens if I sell my shares of Azteca common stock after the special meeting, but before the effective time?

A:
If you transfer your shares of Azteca common stock after the special meeting, but before the effective time, you will have transferred the right to receive the Transaction consideration. In order to receive the Transaction consideration, you must hold your shares of Azteca common stock through completion of the Transaction.

Q:
Do Azteca stockholders have redemption rights?

A:
Yes. Azteca is providing its stockholders (but not the Azteca Initial Stockholders) with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to the greater of $10.05 per share or the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Transaction, less franchise and income taxes payable and less any interest that Azteca was permitted to withdraw in accordance with the Trust Agreement, by (ii) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares (the "Pro Rata Share of the Trust Account"). Only stockholders of record as of the record date may exercise redemption rights for their shares of Azteca common stock. Consequently, shares of Azteca common stock transferred after the record date cannot be redeemed. There will be no redemption rights upon the consummation of the Transaction with respect to Azteca warrants. The Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the shares of Azteca common stock initially purchased by Azteca's Sponsor prior to Azteca's initial public offering (the "Founder Shares") and any Public Shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, and the Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

12


Table of Contents

Q:
How much will I receive if I exercise my redemption rights?

A:
Pursuant to Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the redemption price shall be cash equal to the greater of $10.05 per share or the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Transaction, less franchise and income taxes payable and less any interest that Azteca was permitted to withdraw in accordance with the Trust Agreement, by (ii) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares. We anticipate that the redemption price will be $10.05.
Q:
Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A.
No. Unlike most SPAC merger procedures, you may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your shares of Azteca common stock for or against approval of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the Transaction can be approved by stockholders who will redeem shares and no longer remain stockholders leaving stockholders who chose not to redeem, holding shares in a company with a less liquid trading market, substantially fewer stockholders, less cash, and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of NASDAQ.

Q:
How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:
If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

send a letter to Azteca's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, at 17 Battery Place, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, stating that you are exercising your redemption rights and demanding your shares of Azteca common stock be converted into cash; and

either:

physically tender, or if you hold your shares of Azteca common stock in "street name," instruct your broker to physically tender your stock certificates representing shares of Azteca common stock to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company by the later of April 2, 2013, two business days prior to the date of the vote on the Transaction proposal; or

deliver your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company's DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company by the later of April 2, 2013, two business days prior to the date of the vote on the Transaction proposal.
Q.
Will Azteca and its initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates have the ability to purchase Public Shares in the open market prior to the shareholder vote?

A.
Yes. Azteca has the ability to utilize funds in the Trust Account to purchase up to 15% of the total number of shares of Azteca common stock issued in Azteca's initial public offering (the "Offering Shares"), or 1,500,000 shares, in the open market at any time commencing after the filing of a

13


Table of Contents

Q.
What impact will open market purchases by Azteca and its initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates have on the stockholder vote, the likelihood of effectuating the Transaction and Azteca's capitalization after the Transaction?

A.
If Azteca effects open market purchases prior to the consummation of the Transaction (although Azteca does not currently intend to do so), those shares would be cancelled, and therefore the likelihood that a stockholder vote to approve the Transaction would be obtained would increase as the percentage of voting shares held by Azteca's Sponsor, directors, officers who have agreed to vote in favor of the Transaction would represent a higher percentage of total outstanding shares. However, the impact of these open market purchases on the funds in the Trust Account would be similar to that of a redemption and therefore make it less likely that Azteca will fulfill the closing condition that it have at least $80 million of cash at the closing of the Transaction. Furthermore, if the Transaction occurs, these repurchases would have the effect of reducing the funds available to Hemisphere after the Transaction.
Q:
What are the federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:
Azteca stockholders who exercise their redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for their shares of Azteca common stock generally will be required to treat the

14


Table of Contents

Q:
Should I send in my share certificates now for the exchange?

A:
No. Azteca stockholders should keep any share certificates they hold at this time. After the consummation of the Transaction, Azteca stockholders holding Azteca share certificates will receive from Hemisphere's exchange agent a letter of transmittal and instructions on how to obtain shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issued in the Transaction.
Q:
Are Azteca stockholders entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights?

A:
Yes. Under the DGCL, Azteca common stockholders have the right not to consent to the Transaction and to instead exercise appraisal rights in connection with the Transaction so as to receive cash in lieu of the consideration otherwise proposed pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Holders of Azteca common stock who elect to exercise such appraisal rights and who perfect those rights under the DGCL will be entitled to the appraised fair market value of their shares of Azteca common stock paid to them in cash. The appraised fair value of any holder's Azteca common stock may be more or less than the amount that would be paid to such holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement. To exercise appraisal rights, a stockholder must follow carefully the requirements of the DGCL, including not consenting to, or voting in favor of, the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and giving the required written notice to Azteca. These procedures are summarized under the section entitled "The Agreements—Description of the Merger Agreement—Appraisal Rights Under Delaware Law" beginning on page 173. A copy of the relevant provisions of the DGCL addressing appraisal rights is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. Azteca common stockholders intending to exercise appraisal rights should read the statutory provisions carefully and consult with their own legal advisors, as any deviation from the statutory requirements may result in a forfeiture of appraisal rights otherwise available to such stockholder.

Information about the Special Meeting of Warrantholders

Q.
If the Warrant Amendment Proposal is approved, but I don't vote "FOR" it, will the proposed amendments be binding on me and will my warrants be subject to the Warrant Amendment?

A.
Yes. If the Warrant Amendment Proposal is approved, assuming the Transaction is consummated, the proposed amendments to the Warrant Agreement will be binding on all warrantholders, and all of your warrants will be automatically amended, whether or not you voted "FOR" the Warrant Amendment Proposal.

Q.
What happens to my Azteca warrants I hold if I vote my Azteca shares against approval of the Transaction proposal and/or validly exercise my redemption rights?

A.
Your Azteca warrants will not be affected by either an exercise of your redemption rights with respect to shares of Azteca common stock that you currently hold or by your vote, either for or against the Transaction. If the Transaction is consummated, all of your warrants will be amended in exchange for a cash payment of $0.50 per share and your Amended Azteca warrants will be converted into an equal number of warrants issued by Hemisphere and will be exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock (i.e. warrants to purchase 7,333,334 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock) on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as the Amended Azteca Warrants that you held immediately prior to the Transaction. If the Transaction is not consummated, the Warrant Amendment will not be effective.

Q:
If I am an Azteca warrantholder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

A:
No. There are no redemption rights with respect to Azteca's warrants.

Q:
If I am an Azteca warrantholder, will my warrants become exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock if the Transaction is consummated?

A:
Yes. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the terms of the Azteca warrants, each Amended Azteca Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction (other than 2,333,334 Sponsor Warrants that will be retired for cash immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction) will automatically be converted into an equal number of warrants issued by Hemisphere on the same terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, as amended by the Warrant Amendment. It is a condition to the closing of the Transaction that the terms of the warrants are amended as described herein. In the event that Azteca does not consummate the Transaction by April 6, 2013, Azteca will be required to liquidate and any Azteca warrants you own will expire without value.

General

Q:
How will the solicitation of proxies be handled?

A:
Azteca is soliciting proxies for the special meetings from Azteca stockholders and Public Warrantholders. Azteca will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from Azteca stockholders and

Q:
What do I need to do now?

A:
Read and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and then please vote your shares and warrants, as applicable, as soon as possible so that your shares and warrants, as applicable, may be represented at the applicable special meeting.

Q:
How do I vote?

A:
You can vote by proxy before the applicable special meeting or you can vote in person by completing a ballot at the applicable special meeting. Even if you plan to attend the applicable special meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares by proxy as soon as possible. After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, please submit your proxy by telephone or over the Internet in accordance with the instructions set forth on the enclosed proxy card (if you are a beneficial holder), or mark, sign and date the proxy card, and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope as soon as possible so that your shares may be voted at the applicable special meeting. For detailed information, see "The Special Meeting of Warrantholders and Special Meeting of Azteca Stockholders—How to Vote Your Stock and/or Warrants" beginning on page 145. YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Q:
My shares and/or warrants are held in "street name" by my broker. Will my broker automatically vote my shares and/or warrants for me?

A:
No. If your shares and/or warrants are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the "beneficial holder" of the shares and/or warrants held for you in what is known as "street name." If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus has been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares and/or warrants. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares and/or warrants will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a "broker non-vote."

The Proposed Transaction

        Azteca, Hemisphere, WAPA, Cinelatino and the Merger Subs entered into the Merger Agreement providing for the combination of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino as indirect subsidiaries of a new parent holding company, Hemisphere. As a result of the Transaction, former holders of Cinelatino common stock and the former holder of membership interests in WAPA will own Hemisphere Class B common stock and warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock, the Azteca stockholders will own Hemisphere Class A common stock and the Azteca warrantholders will own warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock. In connection with the Transaction, Hemisphere has applied to list its Class A common stock on NASDAQ under the symbol "HMTV." Hemisphere expects its warrants will trade on the OTCBB under the symbol "HMTVW" following the consummation of the Transaction. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, WAPA Merger Sub will be merged with and into WAPA, Cine Merger Sub will be merged with and into Cinelatino and Azteca Merger Sub will be merged with and into Azteca. As a result, Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino will each become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere.

        The Transaction will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the accounting acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of the purchase consideration to be transferred, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquiree and the measurement of goodwill. ASC Topic 805-10, "Business Combinations—Overall" ("ASC 805-10") provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a business combination effected primarily through an exchange of equity interests, the acquirer is usually the entity that issues equity interests but all

 

21


Table of Contents

pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered in determining the acquirer. Other pertinent facts and circumstances to consider include the relative voting rights of the shareholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of equity interests in the Transaction, including payment of any premium. Although Hemisphere issued the equity interests in the Transaction, since it is a new entity formed solely to issue these equity interests to effect the Transaction it would not be considered the acquirer and one of the combining entities that existed before the transaction must be identified as the acquirer. Based on the following, WAPA is the accounting acquirer:

        As WAPA is the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree), the Transaction is considered to be a reverse acquisition. Since WAPA issued no consideration in the Transaction, unless the fair value of accounting acquirees' equity interests are more reliably measurable, the fair value of the consideration transferred by WAPA would be based on the number of shares WAPA would have had to issue to give owners of the other entities in the transaction the same percentage ownership in the combined entities that results from the Transaction. In this situation, since Azteca's shares are publicly traded and they are one of the combining entities in this Transaction, the fair value of those shares are considered to be more reliably measurable than the fair value of WAPA's shares and therefore were used to determine the fair value of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Cinelatino, which is the other operating entity involved in this Transaction. The difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of Cinelatino's identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date will be recorded as goodwill.

        WAPA and Cinelatino are affiliated companies by virtue of InterMedia Partners VII, L.P.'s ownership interests in each company. InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. directly holds 100% of the economic interests in WAPA and indirectly holds 47.5% of the common stock of Cinelatino through its controlling interest in InterMedia Cine Latino, LLC.

Merger Consideration Received by the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors

        As a result of the Transaction, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will receive aggregate consideration of 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and an aggregate cash payment of $5.0 million. The WAPA/Cinelatino Investors have agreed that 3,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock will be subject to certain forfeiture provisions if the market price of the shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock do not reach certain levels. Please see the section entitled "The Agreements—Additional Agreements—The Equity Restructuring and Warrant Purchase Agreement" beginning on page 186 for additional information and a summary of certain terms of this arrangement. A description of the Hemisphere Class A and Hemisphere Class B common stock to be issued in connection with the Transaction is set forth under the section entitled "Description of Hemisphere Securities" beginning on page 211. The Hemisphere Class B common stock will vote on a 10 to 1 basis with the Hemisphere Class A common stock, which means that each share of Hemisphere Class B common stock will have 10 votes and each share of Hemisphere Class A common stock will have 1 vote.

Warrant Issuances

        Immediately following the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere will sell to the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Act an aggregate of 2,333,334 warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50. These warrants, which we refer to as Seller Warrants, will have the same terms as the Amended Azteca Warrants held by the Public Warrantholders immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

Sale of Sponsor Warrants

        Azteca will purchase from the Current Sponsor Warrantholders, 2,333,334 Amended Azteca Warrants (i.e. warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares of Azteca common stock) for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50 immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

Share Forfeiture Provisions

        Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of 735,294 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture by the Azteca Initial Stockholders as follows: (1) 378,788 Founder Shares will be subject to forfeiture in the event the closing sales price of Azteca's shares does not equal or exceed $15.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within at least one 30-trading day period within 36 months following the closing of the Transaction and (2) 356,506 Founder Shares will be subject to forfeiture in the event the closing sales price of Azteca's shares does not equal or exceed $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within at least one 30-trading day period within 36 months following the closing of the Transaction. In connection with the Transaction, such Founder Shares will be converted into Hemisphere Class A common stock and will be subject to the same forfeiture provisions described above. In addition, the Azteca Initial Stockholders also agreed to subject an additional 250,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A

 

25


Table of Contents

common stock to forfeiture provisions similar to those set forth above. Specifically, (i) 125,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock received in the Transaction are subject to forfeiture if Hemisphere Class A common stock does not equal or exceed the $15.00 per share target price discussed above and (ii) 125,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock received in the Transaction are subject to forfeiture if Hemisphere Class A common stock does not equal or exceed the $12.50 per share target price discussed above. Each of these forfeiture provisions shall survive for a period of 60 months following the consummation of the Transaction. Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, the Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to contribute an aggregate of 250,000 Founder Shares to Azteca for no consideration immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, and such shares will be cancelled.

Total Hemisphere Shares to be Issued

        The number of shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock to be issued to the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will not change. Therefore, based on the number of shares of Azteca common stock outstanding as of March 13, 2013, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, and assuming no shares of Azteca common stock are redeemed between the date hereof and April 2, 2013, the total number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock and Hemisphere Class B common stock to be issued by Hemisphere will be approximately 41,264,706 excluding exercise of warrants and shares subject to forfeiture. Assuming no redemptions by the Azteca stockholders and no repurchases of the Azteca common stock prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors and the Azteca stockholders will own approximately 73% and 27%, respectively, of the capital stock of Hemisphere, excluding warrants.

        The Hemisphere Class B common stock will vote on a 10 to 1 basis with the Hemisphere Class A common stock, which means that each share of Hemisphere Class B common stock will have 10 votes and each share of Hemisphere Class A common stock will have 1 vote. Therefore, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will control approximately 96% of the voting power of all of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock.

Comparative Per Share Market Price

        Azteca common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol "AZTA." The following table shows the closing prices of Azteca common stock as reported on January 22, 2013, the last trading day before the Transaction was publicly announced, and on March 13, 2013, the last practicable trading day before the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Table of Contents

Purposes of the Special Meeting

        At the special meeting, Azteca stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters:

Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote

        Holders of shares of Azteca common stock as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on March 10, 2013, or the record date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting or one or more adjournments thereof. Each share of Azteca common stock is entitled to one vote.

        As of the record date, 12,500,000 shares of Azteca common stock were outstanding.

Quorum at the Special Meeting

        Holders of a majority in voting power of the Azteca common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the Azteca stockholders, present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the special meeting. As of the record date, 6,250,001 shares of Azteca common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Vote Required

        Proposal to Approve and Adopt the Merger Agreement by Azteca stockholders:    Approving and adopting the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the shares of Azteca common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Accordingly, an Azteca stockholder's failure to submit a proxy card or to vote in person at the special meeting, an abstention from voting, or the failure of an Azteca stockholder who holds his or her shares in "street name" through a broker or other nominee to give voting instructions to such broker or other nominee, will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Transaction proposal.

        Proposal to Approve the Adjournment of the Special Meeting by Azteca stockholders:    Approving the adjournment of the special meeting (if it is necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement) requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of votes cast by the Azteca stockholders present, in person or represented by proxy, at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the adjournment proposal. Accordingly, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, while broker non-votes and shares not in attendance at the special meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to adjourn the special meeting.

Recommendation of the Azteca Board

        The Azteca Board has unanimously (i) approved the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (ii) determined that the terms of the Transaction are fair to, and in the best interests of, Azteca and its stockholders, (iii) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to

 

27


Table of Contents

Azteca stockholders for approval and adoption, (iv) recommended that Azteca stockholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and (v) declared the advisability of the Merger Agreement, and the Transaction.

        The Azteca Board unanimously recommends that Azteca stockholders vote:

        We refer to the recommendation that Azteca stockholders vote "FOR" the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement as the Azteca recommendation. See "The Transaction—Recommendation of the Azteca Board; Reasons for the Transaction" beginning on page 159.

The Warrant Amendment

        At the special meeting of warrantholders, Azteca will ask its Public Warrantholders to approve and consent to the Warrant Amendment pursuant to which (i) each warrant to purchase Azteca common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction (including all of the Sponsor Warrants) will become exercisable for one-half of the number of shares of common stock of Azteca at an exercise price of $6.00 per half-share, (ii) each holder of Azteca warrants (including Sponsor Warrants) will receive, for each such warrant (in exchange for the reduction of shares for which such warrants are exercisable), $0.50 in cash (the "Cash Amount"), (iii) the obligation to reduce the warrant price upon the occurrence of certain transactions in which the consideration to be received includes securities of a private company will be removed to permit the Amended Azteca Warrants to be treated as equity for reporting purposes, and (iv) the Public Warrants will be able to be exercised on a "cashless basis" at the election of Azteca under certain circumstances. Upon consummation of the Transaction, each Amended Azteca Warrant will be converted into an equal number of Hemisphere warrants and will be exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on the same terms as were in effect with respect to such Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction. The effect of the Warrant Amendment will be to reduce the number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants by half, thereby reducing the amount by which Hemisphere stockholders would otherwise have been diluted as a result of the exercise in full of the warrants. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by the registered warrantholder. For example, if a registered warrantholder holds one warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Hemisphere Class A common stock, such warrant shall not be exercisable. If a registered warrantholder holds two warrants, such warrants shall be exercisable for one share of Hemisphere Class A common stock.

        If the Transaction is not completed, the Warrant Amendment will not become effective, even if warrantholders have approved the Warrant Amendment. The Transaction will not be consummated unless the Warrant Amendment is approved by holders of 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants (as required under section 9.8 of the Warrant Agreement), even if the Transaction proposal is approved by our stockholders. If the Transaction is completed, payment of the Cash Amount will require Azteca to pay an aggregate of $5.0 million to Public Warrantholders and $2.3 million to Azteca's Sponsor.

        If the Warrant Amendment Proposal is not approved at the special meeting of warrantholders, then the Transaction proposal will not be presented to Azteca stockholders for a vote. If Azteca is unable to consummate the Transaction by April 6, 2013, it will be required to liquidate and all Azteca warrants will expire worthless.

Recommendation of the Azteca Board

        The Azteca Board unanimously recommends that Public Warrantholders vote "FOR" the Warrant Amendment Proposal and "FOR" the Warrantholder Adjournment Proposal.

Azteca's Financial Advisors

        Azteca engaged Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., or Deutsche Bank, and Maxim Group LLC as its financial advisors to assist with the Transaction. In addition, Azteca engaged Stan Budeshtsky as a consultant to assist with the Transaction.

        Deutsche Bank is entitled to reimbursement from Azteca of certain of its expenses in connection with its engagement as Azteca's financial advisor. The Azteca Board did not request, and therefore will not receive, a fairness opinion from Deutsche Bank in connection with the Transaction. Deutsche Bank also served as sole underwriter of Azteca's initial public offering and Azteca paid to Deutsche Bank underwriting discounts and commissions equal to approximately $1,750,000 upon consummation of the initial public offering. Deferred underwriting fees payable to Deutsche Bank in connection with Azteca's public offering and consulting fees due to certain of Azteca's consultants and advisors will be paid upon consummation of the Transaction.

Interests of Azteca Officers and Directors in the Transaction

        Azteca's directors and executive officers may have direct and indirect interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in conflict with, yours. These interests include the continued employment of certain executive officers of Azteca by Hemisphere, the continued service of certain directors of Azteca as directors of Hemisphere, and the indemnification of former Azteca directors and officers by Hemisphere and the surviving corporations.

        In addition, certain of Azteca's executive officers and directors have financial interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in conflict with, the interests of Azteca's stockholders, other than the Azteca Initial Stockholders. With respect to Azteca's executive officers and directors, these interests include, among other things:

Table of Contents

        Mr. Gabriel Brener, who controls Azteca's Sponsor and is a member of Azteca's board of directors, has agreed that, if Azteca dissolves prior to the consummation of a business combination, he will personally indemnify Azteca for any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense which it may become subject to as a result of a claim by any vendor, prospective target business or other entity that has not signed a waiver of claims against Azteca's Trust Account and is owed money by Azteca for services rendered or products sold to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds held in Azteca's Trust Account. In addition, on February 1, 2013, Azteca's Sponsor loaned Azteca $250,000 to fund working capital pursuant to a non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note that is payable by Azteca or Hemisphere at or prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

        The members of the Azteca Board were aware of and considered the interests summarized above, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and in recommending to Azteca stockholders, that the Merger Agreement be approved and adopted. You should be aware of these interests when you consider the Azteca Board's recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Cinelatino, respectively and will be subject to certain qualifications and limitations. No rulings will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any tax matters related to the Transaction or the Warrant Amendment.

        In connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, Azteca has received an opinion from Greenberg Traurig, LLP, which is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement. The discussion of the material tax consequences in this subsection is a summary of such opinion.

        Subject to the discussion contained in "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction to Azteca Stockholders," a U.S. holder (as defined in the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences") of Azteca common stock generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of Azteca common stock for Hemisphere Class A common stock, the aggregate tax basis of the Hemisphere Class A common stock the U.S. holder of Azteca common stock receives will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the Azteca common stock exchanged therefor, and the holding period of the Hemisphere Class A common stock will include the U.S. holder's holding period of the Azteca common stock surrendered in exchange therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is a risk that a U.S. holder of Azteca common stock will be taxed on the Hemisphere Class A common stock received in the Azteca Merger at ordinary income rates to the extent the stockholder is deemed to receive Hemisphere Class A common stock other than as consideration for the stockholder's Azteca common stock surrendered in the Azteca Merger.

        A U.S. holder of Public Warrants should recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the Warrant Amendment, and the amount of such capital gain or loss should be equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and one-half of the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the Public Warrants. For purposes of determining the adjusted tax basis in the Public Warrants, a Public Warrantholder that purchased Azteca units would have been required to allocate the cost between the shares of Azteca common stock and the Public Warrants comprising the units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase. A U.S. holder of Public Warrants may also have tax consequences resulting from the deemed exchange of Amended Azteca Warrants for an equal number of warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock. See "Material U.S Federal Income Tax Consequences, Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Warrant Amendment and Transaction to U.S. Holders of Public Warrants."

        You are strongly urged to consult with a tax advisor to determine the particular U.S. federal, state or local or foreign income or other tax consequences of the Transaction to you. See "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" on page 167.

        The Transaction will not be taxable to Azteca, Hemisphere, WAPA or Cinelatino.

Officers and Directors of Hemisphere

        Upon the consummation of the Transaction, the board of directors of Hemisphere will be divided into three classes and will be comprised of nine individuals. Initially, four directors will be designated by WAPA: Peter M. Kern, Leo Hindery, Jr., James M. McNamara and Vincent L. Sadusky; two directors will be designated by Azteca: Gabriel Brener and John Engelman; two directors will be designated by Cinema Aeropuerto: Ernesto Vargas Guardo and Eric Neuman; and one director will be

        For more information on the new directors and management of Hemisphere, see "Hemisphere Executive Officers and Directors" beginning on page 195.

Listing of Hemisphere Class A common stock

        In connection with the Transaction, Hemisphere has applied to list its shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on NASDAQ under the symbol "HMTV." Hemisphere expects its warrants will trade on the OTCBB under the symbol "HMTVW" following the consummation of the Transaction.

Comparison of Stockholder Rights

        As a result of the Transaction, the holders of Azteca common stock will become holders of Hemisphere Class A common stock, and holders of Cinelatino shares and the WAPA Member will become holders of Hemisphere Class B common stock. Following the consummation of the Transaction, Azteca stockholders will have different rights as stockholders of Hemisphere than they had as stockholders of Azteca due to the different provisions of the governing documents of Azteca and Hemisphere. For a summary of the material differences among the rights of Azteca stockholders and Hemisphere stockholders (including the Hemisphere Class A common stock and Hemisphere Class B common stock), see "Comparison of Stockholder Rights" beginning on page 216.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HEMISPHERE

        The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year-ended December 31, 2012 give pro forma effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 gives pro forma effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on such date.

        The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Transaction, are factually supportable and, in the case of the unaudited pro forma statement of operations data, are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented in the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Transaction.

        This information should be read together with the financial statements of Azteca and the notes thereto, the consolidated financial statements of WAPA and the notes thereto, the financial statements of Cinelatino and the notes thereto, the sections entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Azteca," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of WAPA," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cinelatino," included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        This presentation assumes that no Azteca stockholders exercise redemption rights and no repurchases by Azteca of Azteca common stock from the public stockholders.

        The Transaction will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the accounting acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of the purchase consideration to be transferred, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquiree and the measurement of goodwill. ASC Topic 805-10, "Business Combinations—Overall" ("ASC 805-10") provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a business combination effected primarily through an exchange of equity interests, the acquirer is usually the entity that issues equity interests but all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered in determining the acquirer. Other pertinent facts and circumstances to consider include the relative voting rights of the shareholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of equity interests in the Transaction, including payment of any premium. Although Hemisphere issued the equity interests in the Transaction, since it is a new entity formed solely to issue these equity interests to effect the Transaction it would not be considered the acquirer and one of the combining entities that existed before the transaction must be identified as the acquirer. Based on the following, WAPA is the accounting acquirer:

 

37


Table of Contents

        As WAPA is the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree), the Transaction is considered to be a reverse acquisition. Since WAPA issued no consideration in the Transaction, unless the fair value of accounting acquirees' equity interests are more reliably measurable, the fair value of the consideration transferred by WAPA would be based on the number of shares WAPA would have had to issue to give owners of the other entities in the transaction the same percentage ownership in the combined entities that results from the Transaction. In this situation, since Azteca's shares are publicly traded and they are one of the combining entities in this Transaction, the fair value of those shares are considered to be more reliably measurable than the fair value of WAPA's shares and therefore were used to determine the fair value of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Cinelatino, which is the other operating entity involved in this Transaction. The difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of Cinelatino's identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date will be recorded as goodwill.

Pro forma earnings per share, basic and diluted, are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted shares outstanding do not include the effect of the 14,666,667 Amended Azteca Warrants (i.e., warrants to purchase 7,333,334 shares of Azteca common stock) which have an exercise price that is a premium to the per share value of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and therefore their effect has been determined to be anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2012. The diluted shares outstanding also do not include the effect of the 3,985,294 common shares subject to forfeiture held by the Azteca Initial Stockholders and the current owners of WAPA and Cinelatino as these shares are contingently returnable for which all the necessary conditions have not been satisfied.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

        In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        In addition to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, WAPA and Cinelatino have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Management of WAPA and Cinelatino use these measures to assess the operating results and performance of the business, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. WAPA and Cinelatino believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant to investors because it allows them to analyze the operating performance of each business using the same metrics used by management. WAPA and Cinelatino exclude from Adjusted EBITDA depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles, certain impairment charges, loss (gain) on disposition of assets, non-recurring expenses, interest expense, interest income, income tax and loss from discontinued operations.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA

        The following table sets forth selected historical per share data for Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino, and unaudited pro forma combined per share ownership information after giving effect to the proposed Transaction, assuming (i) that no Azteca public stockholders exercise their redemption rights. Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino are providing this information to assist you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the proposed Transaction. The historical information should be read in conjunction with "Selected Consolidated Historical Financial Data of Azteca," "Selected Consolidated Historical Financial Data of WAPA" and "Selected Historical Financial Data of Cinelatino" included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the historical consolidated and combined financial statements of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The diluted shares outstanding also do not include the effect of the 3,985,294 common shares subject to forfeiture held by the Azteca Initial Stockholders and the current owners of WAPA and Cinelatino as these shares are contingently returnable for which all the necessary conditions have not been satisfied.

RISK FACTORS

        In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Risk Factors Relating to Azteca

Azteca's purchases of shares of common stock in the open market may support the market price of the common stock and/or warrants during the buyback period; however, the termination of the support provided by such purchases may materially adversely affect the market price of the units, common stock and/or warrants.

        Unlike many blank check companies, the investment management trust agreement between Azteca and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company permits the release to Azteca from the Trust Account of amounts necessary to purchase up to 15% of the shares sold in Azteca's initial public offering (1,500,000 shares) at any time commencing after the filing of a preliminary proxy statement for Azteca's initial business combination and ending on the record date for the vote to approve Azteca's initial business combination. Purchases will be made only in open market transactions at times when Azteca is not in possession of material non-public information and will not be made during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Consequently, if the market does not view Azteca's initial business combination positively, these purchases may have the effect of counteracting the market's view of Azteca's initial business combination, which would otherwise be reflected in a decline in the market price of Azteca's securities. The termination of the support provided by these purchase may materially adversely affect the market price of Azteca's securities.

Azteca, the initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from stockholders, in which case Azteca or they may influence a vote in favor of the Transaction that you do not support.

        Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, Azteca may request funds necessary to purchase up to 15% of the shares sold in Azteca's initial public offering (1,500,000 shares) at per share prices (inclusive of commissions) that do not exceed an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account divided by (B) the total number of Public Shares then outstanding. Any Public Shares so purchased shall be immediately cancelled. In addition, the initial stockholders and Azteca's directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates also may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions either prior to or following the consummation of Azteca's initial business combination.

        Such a purchase would include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of Azteca's shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that Azteca or its initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Although Azteca's initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates do not currently anticipate paying any premium purchase price (over trust value) for such Public Shares, in the event that they do, the payment of a premium may not be in the best interest of those stockholders not receiving any such premium.

        The purpose of such purchases would be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Transaction and (2), where the purchases are made by Azteca's initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates, to satisfy a closing condition in the Merger Agreement that requires Azteca to have at least $80 million of cash at the closing of the Transaction. This may result in the consummation of the Transaction where it may not otherwise have been possible.

Table of Contents

        As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of Public Shares by Azteca or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Azteca will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Transaction.

Azteca's purchases of shares of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and any redemption of Public Shares would reduce the funds available to Azteca after the Transaction.

        Azteca may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares effective prior to the consummation of the Transaction from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed. In addition, since Azteca is seeking stockholder approval of the Transaction, the investment management trust agreement between Azteca and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company permits the release to Azteca from the Trust Account of amounts necessary to purchase up to 15% of the shares sold in Azteca's initial public offering (1,500,000 shares). As a consequence of such purchases, the funds in Azteca's Trust Account that are so used will not be available to Hemisphere after the Transaction.

        In addition, in connection with the Transaction, Public Stockholders have the right to redeem their Public Shares for cash in an amount equal to the greater of $10.05 per share or the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Transaction, less franchise and income taxes payable and less any interest that Azteca was permitted to withdraw in accordance with the Trust Agreement, by (ii) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares. We anticipate that the redemption price will be $10.05. As a consequence of such redemptions, the funds in Azteca's Trust Account that are so used will not be available to Hemisphere after the Transaction.

Azteca's purchases of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions may have negative economic effects on Azteca's remaining public stockholders.

        If Azteca purchases shares in privately negotiated or market transactions from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, Azteca's remaining public stockholders will bear the economic burden of the franchise and income taxes payable as well as taxes payable with respect to interest earned on the Trust Account (and, in the case of purchases which occur prior to the consummation of Azteca's initial business combination, up to $50,000 of the net interest that may be released to Azteca from the Trust Account to fund Azteca's dissolution expenses in the event Azteca does not complete Azteca's initial business combination by April 6, 2013). In addition, Azteca's remaining public stockholders following the consummation of Azteca's initial business combination will bear the economic burden of the deferred underwriting commission as well as the amount of any premium Azteca may pay to the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account using funds released to Azteca from the Trust Account following the consummation of the Transaction. This is because the stockholders from whom Azteca purchases shares in open market or in privately negotiated transactions may receive a per share purchase price payable from the Trust Account that is not reduced by a pro rata share of the taxes payable on the interest earned by the Trust Account, up to $50,000 of dissolution expenses or the deferred underwriting commission and, in the case of purchases at a premium, have received such premium.

Table of Contents

Azteca stockholders will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

        Azteca's public stockholders shall be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only in the event of (i) a redemption to public stockholders prior to any winding up in the event Azteca does not consummate its initial business combination, (ii) Azteca's liquidation or (iii) pursuant to a tender offer in connection with an initial business combination that Azteca consummates. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to the funds in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

If an Azteca stockholder or a "group" of Azteca stockholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of Azteca's common stock, such stockholder or group will lose the ability to both redeem and vote all such shares in excess of 15% of Azteca's common stock.

        Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, individually or together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Azteca Public Shares. Moreover, any individual stockholder or "group" will also be restricted from voting Public Shares in excess of an aggregate of 15% of the Azteca Public Shares, which Azteca refers to as the "excess shares". A stockholder's inability to vote and redeem the excess shares will reduce its influence over Azteca's ability to consummate the Transaction and such stockholder could suffer a material loss on its investment in Azteca if it sells excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, such stockholder will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the excess shares if Azteca consummates the Transaction. As a result, such stockholder will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, it would be required to sell its shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

If third parties bring claims against Azteca, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share amount received by stockholders upon liquidation may be less than $10.05 per share.

        Azteca's placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against Azteca. Although Azteca has and continues to seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which Azteca does business execute agreements with Azteca waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of Azteca's public stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against Azteca's assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, Azteca's management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to Azteca than any alternative.

        Examples of possible instances where Azteca may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may

44

have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Azteca and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of Azteca's Public Shares, if Azteca is unable to complete its initial business combination within the required time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with Azteca's initial business combination, Azteca will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Azteca within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.05 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, Mr. Brener will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.

        Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, WAPA and Cinelatino have executed a waiver of the kind contemplated by this paragraph. Additionally, Mr. Stan Budeshtsky, a consultant to Azteca, and Maxim Group, LLC, a financial advisor to Azteca, executed such a waiver. However, Greenberg Traurig LLP, Rothstein Kass and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. did not execute such a waiver.

Azteca's stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Azteca to the extent of distributions received by them.

        If Azteca has not completed the Transaction by April 6, 2013, Azteca will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Azteca's remaining stockholders and Azteca's board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to Azteca's obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Azteca may not properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against Azteca. As such, Azteca's stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Azteca's stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, third parties may seek to recover from Azteca's stockholders amounts owed to them by Azteca.

        If Azteca is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against Azteca which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a "preferential transfer" or a "fraudulent conveyance." As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Azteca's stockholders. Furthermore, because Azteca intends to distribute the proceeds held in the Trust Account to Azteca's public stockholders promptly after April 6, 2013, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to Azteca's public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from Azteca's assets. Furthermore, Azteca's board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Azteca's creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Azteca's company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Claims may be brought against Azteca for these reasons.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, and incur restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and Hemisphere's stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

        Hemisphere may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Azteca's preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on Hemisphere's liquidity, the fact that Hemisphere reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about Hemisphere or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause Hemisphere to violate net worth or other covenants to which it may be subject as a result of Hemisphere's post-combination debt agreements.

There may be tax consequences of the Azteca Merger that may adversely affect Azteca stockholders.

        Azteca expects that the Transaction can be effected generally as tax free to Azteca stockholders pursuant to Section 351 of the Code. To the extent the Transaction does not so qualify, it could result in the imposition of substantial taxes on Azteca stockholders. In addition, there is a risk that a U.S. holder of Azteca common stock will be taxed on the Hemisphere Class A common stock received in the Azteca Merger at ordinary income rates to the extent the stockholder is deemed to receive Hemisphere Class A common stock other than as consideration for the stockholder's Azteca common stock surrendered in the Azteca Merger. See "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" on page 167.

There may be tax consequences of the Warrant Amendment or the Transaction that may adversely affect Azteca warrantholders.

        It is expected that holders of Azteca warrants will recognize gain or loss as a result of the Warrant Amendment and the Transaction. A U.S. holder of Public Warrants should recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the Warrant Amendment, and the amount of such capital gain or loss should be equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and one-half of the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the Public Warrants.

        A U.S. holder of Public Warrants may also have tax consequences resulting from the deemed exchange of Amended Azteca Warrants for an equal number of warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock. See "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" on page 167.

The Azteca Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Transaction.

        The Azteca Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the Transaction. In analyzing the Transaction, the Azteca board and management conducted due diligence on WAPA and Cinelatino, researched the industries in which they operate, reviewed comparisons of comparable companies and concluded that the Transaction was in the best interest of its stockholders. The lack of a third-party valuation or fairness opinion may lead an increased number of Azteca stockholders to vote against the Transaction proposal or demand redemption of their shares of Azteca common stock, which could potentially impact Azteca's ability to consummate the Transaction or the amount of liquidity that Hemisphere would have after consummation of the Transaction.

Risk Factors Related to Cinelatino and WAPA's U.S. Cable Network Business

Service providers could discontinue or refrain from carrying Cinelatino or WAPA America or decide not to renew their distribution agreements, which could substantially reduce the number of viewers and harm business and Cinelatino and/or WAPA's operating results.

        Consolidation among cable and satellite operators has given the largest operators considerable leverage in their relationships with programmers, including Cinelatino and WAPA America (referred to herein collectively as the "Cable Businesses"). The success of each of these businesses is dependent, in part, on its ability to enter into new carriage agreements and maintain or renew existing agreements or arrangements with satellite systems, telephone companies (referred to herein as "telcos"), and cable multiple system operators (referred to herein as "MSO"s), and the MSOs' affiliated regional or individual cable systems (all collectively referred to herein as the "Distributors"). Although the Cable Businesses currently have arrangements or agreements with, and are being carried by, many of the largest Distributors, having such relationship or agreement with a Distributor does not always ensure that the Distributors will continue to carry the Cable Businesses. Under the Cable Businesses' current contracts and arrangements, the Cable Businesses typically offer Distributors the right to transmit the programming services comprising the Cable Businesses to their subscribers, but not all such contracts or arrangements require that the programming services comprising the Cable Businesses be offered to all subscribers of, or any specific tiers of, or to a specific minimum number of subscribers of a Distributor. A failure to secure a renewal of the Cable Businesses' agreements or a renewal on less favorable terms may result in a reduction in the Cable Businesses' subscriber fees and, with respect to WAPA America, advertising revenues, and may have a material adverse effect on Cinelatino and/or WAPA's results of operations and financial position.

If the Cable Businesses' viewership declines for any reason, or our audience ratings decline for any reason or the Cable Businesses fail to develop and distribute popular programs, their advertising and subscriber fee revenues could decrease.

        The Cable Businesses' viewership and audience ratings are critical factors affecting both (i) the advertising revenue that WAPA America receives, and (ii) the extent of distribution and subscriber fees each of the Cable Businesses receives under agreements with its Distributors. WAPA America's advertising revenues are largely dependent on WAPA's ability to consistently create programming and on WAPA America's ability to acquire programming that meets the changing preferences of viewers in general and viewers in its target demographic category.

        The Cable Businesses' viewership is also affected by the quality and acceptance of competing programs and other content offered by other networks, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, including general economic conditions, piracy, digital and on-demand distribution and growing competition for consumer discretionary spending. Audience ratings may be impacted by a number of factors outside of our control, including a decline in viewership, changes in ratings technology or methodology or changes in household sampling. Any decline in the Cable Businesses' viewership or audience ratings could cause advertising revenue to decline, subscription revenues to fall, and adversely impact the Cable Businesses' business and operating results.

The Cable Businesses may not be able to grow their subscriber bases and/or subscriber fees, or such bases and/or fees may decline and, as a result, the Cable Businesses' revenues and profitability may not increase and could decrease.

        For WAPA America and Cinelatino, a major component of their financial growth strategy is based on their ability to increase their subscriber base. The growth of the Cables Businesses' subscriber base depends upon many factors, such as overall growth in cable, satellite and telco subscribers; the popularity of their programming; their ability to negotiate new carriage agreements, or amendments to, or renewals of, current carriage agreements, maintenance of existing distribution; and the success of

47


Table of Contents

their marketing efforts in driving consumer demand for their content, as well as other factors that are beyond their control. If a Cable Businesses' programming services are required by the FCC to be offered on an "a la carte" basis, the Cable Businesses could experience higher costs, reduced distribution of its program service, perhaps significantly and lose viewers. There can be no assurance that the Cable Businesses will be able to maintain or increase their subscriber base on cable, satellite and telco systems or that their current carriage will not decrease as a result of a number of factors or that the Cable Businesses will be able to maintain or increase their current subscriber fee rates. In particular, negotiations for new carriage agreements, or amendments to, or renewals of, current carriage agreements, are lengthy and complex, and the Cable Businesses are not able to predict with any accuracy when such increases in their subscriber bases may occur, if at all, or if they can maintain or increase their current subscriber fee rates. If the Cable Businesses are unable to grow their subscriber bases or if they reduce their subscriber fee rates, the Cable Businesses' subscriber and, in the case of WAPA America, advertising revenues, may not increase and could decrease.

The television market in which the Cable Businesses operate is highly competitive, and the Cable Businesses may not be able to compete effectively, particularly against competitors with greater financial resources, brand recognition, marketplace presence and relationships with service providers.

        The Cable Businesses compete with other television channels for the distribution of their programming, development and acquisition of content, audience viewership and, in the case of WAPA America, advertising sales. The Cable Businesses compete with other television channels to be included in the offerings of each video service provider and for placement in the packaged offerings having the most subscribers. The Cable Businesses' ability to secure distribution is dependent upon the production, acquisition and packaging of programming, audience viewership, and the prices charged for carriage and direct subscription. The Cable Businesses' contractual agreements with Distributors are renewed or renegotiated from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

        The Cable Businesses each compete for distribution and for viewership with other channels offering similar programming and/or targeting similar audiences. WAPA America competes for distribution and for viewership with Spanish language broadcast television networks and other cable networks targeting Hispanics in the United States, particularly those outlets with a specific focus on Puerto Ricans and U.S. Hispanics from Caribbean countries. Cinelatino competes for distribution and for viewership with Spanish language broadcast television networks and other Spanish language cable networks targeting Hispanics in the United States, as well as cable networks in Latin America and Canada. It is possible that these or other competitors, many of which have substantially greater financial and operational resources than the Cable Businesses, could revise their programming to offer more competitive programming which is of interest to the Cable Businesses' viewers.

        With respect to the sale of advertising, WAPA America also competes for advertising revenue with general-interest television and other forms of media, including magazines, newspapers, radio and other digital media.

        Certain technological advances, including the increased deployment of fiber optic cable, are expected to allow cable and telecommunication video service providers to continue to expand both their channel and broadband distribution capacities and to increase transmission speeds. In addition, the ability to deliver content via new methods and devices is expected to increase substantially. The impact of such added capacities is hard to predict, but the development of new methods of content distribution could dilute the Cable Businesses' market share and lead to increased competition for viewers by facilitating the emergence of additional channels and mobile and internet platforms through which viewers could view programming that is similar to that offered by the Cable Businesses.

        If these or other competitors, many of which have substantially greater financial and operational resources than WAPA and Cinelatino, significantly expand their operations or their market penetration, the Cable Businesses' business could be harmed. If any of these competitors were able to invent

48


Table of Contents

improved technology, or the Cable Businesses were not able to prevent them from obtaining and using their own proprietary technology and trade secrets, the Cable Businesses' business and operating results, as well as their future growth prospects, could be negatively affected. There can be no assurance that the Cable Businesses will be able to compete successfully in the future against existing or new competitors, or that increasing competition will not have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Cable Businesses may become subject to Program Access restrictions.

        Under the Communications Act of 1934 (the "Communications Act"), vertically integrated cable programmers are generally prohibited from offering different prices, terms, or conditions to competing multichannel video programming distributors unless the differential is justified by certain permissible factors set forth in the FCC's regulations. A cable programmer is considered to be vertically integrated if it owns or is owned by a cable television operator in whole or in part under the FCC's program access attribution rules. Cable television operators for this purpose may include telephone companies that provide video programming directly to subscribers. However, the other holdings of entities that acquire an interest in Hemisphere may be attributable to the Cable Businesses for purposes of the program access rules, and therefore could have the effect of making the Cable Businesses subject to the program access rules. If the Cable Businesses were to become subject to the program access rules, their flexibility to negotiate the most favorable terms available for their content could be adversely affected.

Technologies in the pay television industry are constantly changing, and the Cable Businesses' failure to acquire or maintain state-of-the-art technology or adapt their business models may harm their business and competitive advantage.

        Technology in the video, telecommunications and data services industry is changing rapidly. Many technologies and technological standards are in development and have the potential to significantly transform the ways in which programming is created and transmitted. The Cable Businesses cannot accurately predict the effects that implementing new technologies will have on their programming and broadcasting operations. The Cable Businesses may be required to incur substantial capital expenditures to implement new technologies, or, if they fail to do so, may face significant new challenges due to technological advances adopted by competitors, which in turn could result in harming the Cable Businesses' business and operating results.

The cable, satellite and telco-delivered television industry is subject to substantial governmental regulation for which compliance may increase the Cable Businesses' costs, hinder their growth and possibly expose them to penalties for failure to comply.

        The multichannel video programming distribution industry is subject to extensive legislation and regulation at the federal level, and many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. Operating in a regulated industry increases the Cable Businesses' cost of doing business as video programmers, and such regulation may also hinder the Cable Businesses' ability to increase and/or maintain their distribution and, in the case of WAPA America, advertising revenues. The regulation of programming services is subject to the political process and continues to be under evaluation and subject to change. Material changes in the law and regulatory requirements are difficult to anticipate and the Cable Businesses' business may be harmed by future legislation, new regulation, deregulation and/or court decisions interpreting such laws and regulations.

        The following are examples of the types of currently active legislative, regulatory and judicial inquiries and proceedings that may impact the Cable Businesses' business. The FCC may adopt rules which would require cable and satellite providers to make available programming channels on an a la carte basis. Further, the FCC and certain courts are examining the types of technologies that will be

Table of Contents

considered "multichannel video programming systems" under federal regulation and the rules that will be applied to distribution of television programming via such technologies. There are also pending court proceedings involving the scope of rights to record network programming and the functionalities that allow viewers to skip advertising while viewing such recorded content. The Cable Businesses' cannot predict the outcome of any of these inquiries or proceedings or how their outcome would impact the Cable Businesses' ability to have their content carried on multichannel programming distribution systems and, in the case of WAPA America, the value of its advertising inventories.

Cable, satellite and telco television programming signals have been stolen or could be stolen in the future, which reduces the Cable Businesses' potential revenue from subscriber fees and advertising.

        The delivery of subscription programming requires the use of conditional access technology to limit access to programming to only those who subscribe to programming and are authorized to view it. Conditional access systems use, among other things, encryption technology to protect the transmitted signal from unauthorized access. It is illegal to create, sell or otherwise distribute software or devices to circumvent conditional access technologies. However, theft of programming has been widely reported, and the access or "smart" cards used in service providers' conditional access systems have been compromised and could be further compromised in the future. When conditional access systems are compromised, the Cable Businesses do not receive the potential subscriber fee revenues from the service providers. Further, measures that could be taken by service providers to limit such theft are not under the Cable Businesses' control. Piracy of the Cable Businesses' copyrighted materials could reduce their revenue from subscriber fees, and in the case of WAPA America, from advertising and negatively affect their business and operating results.

"Must-carry" regulations reduce the amount of channel space that is available for carriage of the Cable Businesses cable offerings.

        The Cable Act of 1992 imposed "must carry" or "retransmission consent" regulations on cable systems, requiring them to carry the signals of local broadcast television stations that choose to exercise their must carry rights rather than negotiate a retransmission consent arrangement. Direct broadcast satellite ("DBS") systems are also subject to their own must carry rules. The FCC's implementation of these "must-carry" obligations requires cable and DBS operators to give certain broadcasters preferential access to channel space. This reduces the amount of channel space that is available for carriage of the Cable Businesses offerings by cable television systems and DBS operators in the U.S. Congress, the FCC or any other foreign government may, in the future, adopt new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters which could affect the Cable Businesses.

Risk Factors Related to WAPA PR's Broadcast Business

Federal regulation of the broadcasting industry limits WAPA PR's operating flexibility.

        The ownership, operation and sale of television stations are subject to the jurisdiction of the FCC under the Communications Act. Matters subject to FCC oversight include the assignment of frequency bands for broadcast television; the approval of a television station's frequency, location and operating power; the issuance, renewal, revocation or modification of a television station's FCC license; the approval of changes in the ownership or control of a television station's licensee; the regulation of equipment used by television stations; and the adoption and implementation of regulations and policies concerning the ownership, operation, programming and employment practices of television stations. The FCC has the power to impose penalties, including fines or license revocations, upon a licensee of a television station for violations of the FCC's rules and regulations.

The success of WAPA PR's business is dependent upon advertising revenue, which is seasonal and cyclical, and will also fluctuate as a result of a number of other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

        A significant source of WAPA PR's revenue is the sale of advertising time. WAPA PR's ability to sell advertising time and space depends on, among other things:

50


Table of Contents

        Audience ratings may be impacted by a number of factors outside of our control, including a decline in viewership, changes in ratings technology or methodology or changes in household sampling. Any decline in audience ratings could cause revenue to decline, adversely impacting WAPA PR's business and operating results. WAPA PR's results are also subject to seasonal and cyclical fluctuations that we expect to continue. Seasonal fluctuations typically result in higher broadcast operating income in the fourth quarter than in the first, second, and third quarters of each year. This seasonality is primarily attributable to (i) advertisers' increased expenditures in anticipation of the holiday season spending and (ii) an increase in viewership during this period. In addition, WAPA PR typically experiences an increase in revenue every four years as a result of political spending. The next political year will be 2016. As a result of the seasonality and cyclicality of WAPA PR's revenue, and the historically significant increase in WAPA PR's revenue during election years, investors are cautioned that it has been, and is expected to remain, difficult to engage in period-over-period comparisons of WAPA PR's revenue and results of operations.

WAPA PR is dependent upon retransmission consent agreements with MVPDs, and we cannot predict the outcome of potential regulatory changes to the retransmission consent regime.

        WAPA PR is dependent on its retransmission consent agreements that provide for per subscriber fees with annual rate escalators. No assurances can be provided that WAPA PR will be able to renegotiate all such agreements on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. The failure to renegotiate such agreements may result in the loss of many viewers, which could have a material adverse effect on WAPA PR's business and results of operations.

        WAPA PR's ability to successfully negotiate and renegotiate future retransmission consent agreements may be hindered by potential legislative or regulatory changes to the framework under which these agreements are negotiated. In March 2011, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") to consider changes to its rules governing the negotiation of retransmission consent agreements. The FCC concluded that it lacked statutory authority to impose mandatory arbitration or interim carriage obligations in the event of a dispute between broadcasters and pay television operators. The FCC, however, sought comment on whether it should (1) strengthen existing regulatory provisions requiring broadcasters and MVPDs to negotiate retransmission consent in "good faith," (2) enhance notice obligations to consumers of potential disruptions in service, and/or (3) extend the prohibition on ceasing carriage of a broadcast station's signal during an audience measurement period to DBS systems. The FCC has not yet issued a decision in this proceeding, and we cannot predict the outcome of any FCC regulatory action in this regard.

WAPA PR operates in a highly competitive environment. Competition occurs on multiple levels (for audiences, advertisers, and programming) and is based on a variety of factors. If WAPA PR is not able to successfully compete in all relevant aspects, its revenue will be materially adversely affected.

        Television stations compete for audiences, advertisers, and certain programming. Signal coverage and carriage on MVPD systems also materially affect a television station's competitive position. With

51


Table of Contents

respect to audiences, television stations compete primarily based on broadcast program popularity. We cannot provide any assurances as to the acceptability by audiences of any of the programs WAPA PR broadcasts. Further, because WAPA PR competes with other broadcast stations for the rights to produce or license certain programming, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to produce or obtain any desired programming at costs that we believe are reasonable. Cable network programming, combined with increased access to cable and satellite TV, has become a significant competitor for broadcast television programming viewers.

        In addition, technological innovation and the resulting proliferation of programming alternatives, such as internet websites, mobile apps, and wireless carriers, direct-to-consumer video distribution systems, and home entertainment systems have further fractionalized television viewing audiences and resulted in additional challenges to revenue generation.

        Changes in ratings technology, or methodology or metrics used by advertisers or other changes in advertisers' media buying strategies also could have a material adverse effect on WAPA PR's financial condition and results of operations.

        WAPA PR's inability or failure to broadcast popular programs, or otherwise maintain viewership for any reason, including as a result of significant increases in programming alternatives and the failure to compete with new technological innovations could result in a lack of advertisers, or a reduction in the amount advertisers are willing to pay us to advertise, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If WAPA PR cannot renew its FCC broadcast licenses, its business will be impaired.

        WAPA PR's business depends upon maintaining its broadcast licenses, which are issued by the FCC for a term of eight years and are renewable. Applications to renew the broadcast licenses of all television stations licensed to communities in Puerto Rico, including those associated with WAPA-TV, are currently pending before the FCC. Interested parties may challenge a renewal application. The FCC has the authority to revoke licenses, not renew them, or renew them with conditions, including renewals for less than a full term. It cannot be assured that WAPA PR's license renewal applications will be approved, or that the renewals, if granted, will not include conditions or qualifications that could adversely affect our operations. If WAPA PR's licenses are not renewed, or renewed with substantial conditions or modifications (including renewing one or more of our licenses for a term of fewer than eight years), it could prevent WAPA PR from operating the affected station and generating revenue from it.

WAPA PR is subject to restrictions on foreign ownership.

        Under the Communications Act, a broadcast license may not be granted to or held by any corporation that has more than 20% of its capital stock owned or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, by foreign governments or their representatives, or by non-U.S. corporations.

        Furthermore, the Communications Act provides that no FCC broadcast license may be granted to or held by any corporation that is directly or indirectly controlled by any other corporation of which more than 25% of the capital stock is owned or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, by foreign governments or their representatives, or by non-U.S. corporations, if the FCC finds the public interest will be served by the refusal or revocation of such license. These restrictions apply in modified form to other forms of business organizations, including partnerships and limited liability companies. The FCC has interpreted this provision of the Communications Act to require an affirmative public interest finding before a broadcast license may be granted to or held by any such entity, and the FCC has made such an affirmative finding only in limited circumstances. Thus, the licenses for WAPA PR's television stations could be revoked if more than 25% of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock is issued to or for the benefit of non-U.S. citizens.

52


Table of Contents

        To the extent necessary to comply with the Communications Act and FCC rules and policies, the Hemisphere board of directors may (i) take any action it believes necessary to prohibit the ownership or voting of more than 25% of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock by or for the account of aliens or their representatives or by a foreign government or representative thereof or by any entity organized under the laws of a foreign country (collectively, "Aliens"), or by any other entity (a) that is subject to or deemed to be subject to control by Aliens on a de jure or de facto basis or (b) owned by, or held for the benefit of Aliens in a manner that would cause Hemisphere to be in violation of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies; (ii) prohibit any transfer of the Hemisphere stock which Hemisphere believes could cause more than 25% of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock to be owned or voted by or for any person or entity identified in the foregoing clause (i); (iii) prohibit the ownership, voting or transfer of any portion of its outstanding capital stock to the extent the ownership, voting or transfer of such portion would cause Hemisphere to violate or would otherwise result in violation of any provision of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies; (iv) convert shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock into shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to the extent necessary to bring Hemisphere into compliance with the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies; and (v) redeem capital stock to the extent necessary to bring Hemisphere into compliance with the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies or to prevent the loss or impairment of any of Hemisphere's FCC licenses.

The FCC may impose sanctions or penalties for violations of rules or regulations.

        If WAPA PR or any of its officers, directors, or attributable interest holders materially violate the FCC's rules and regulations or are convicted of a felony or are found to have engaged in unlawful anticompetitive conduct or fraud upon another government agency, the FCC may, in response to a petition by a third party or on its own initiative, in its discretion, commence a proceeding to impose sanctions upon us that could involve the imposition of monetary penalties, the denial of a license renewal application, revocation of a broadcast license or other sanctions. If the FCC were to issue an order denying a license renewal application or revoking a license, WAPA PR would be required to cease operating the broadcast station only after we had exhausted all administrative and judicial review without success. In addition, the FCC has recently emphasized more vigorous enforcement of certain of its regulations, including indecency standards, sponsorship identification requirements, and equal employment opportunity outreach and recordkeeping requirements. These enhanced enforcement efforts could result in increased costs associated with the adoption and implementation of stricter compliance procedures at WAPA PR's broadcast facilities or FCC fines.

The FCC can issue sanctions for programming broadcast by WAPA PR's stations that it finds to be indecent.

        Over the past several years, the FCC has increased its enforcement efforts regarding broadcast indecency and profanity. In 2006, the statutory maximum fine for broadcasting indecent material increased from $32,500 to $325,000 per incident. The effect of recent judicial decisions regarding the FCC's indecency enforcement practices remain unclear and we are unable to predict the impact of these decisions on the FCC's enforcement practices, which could have a material adverse effect on WAPA PR's business.

Recent legislation could result in the reallocation of broadcast spectrum for wireless broadband or other non-broadcast use.

        In February 2012, Congress passed and the President signed legislation that, among other things, grants the FCC authority to conduct a set of incentive auctions to recapture certain spectrum currently used by television broadcasters and repurpose it for other uses. On October 2, 2012, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to begin to develop the rules and procedures to implement the incentive auctions authorized by Congress. That rulemaking process remains ongoing.

53


Table of Contents

        The incentive auction process would have three components. First, the FCC would conduct a reverse auction by which each television broadcaster may choose to retain its rights to a 6 MHz channel of spectrum or volunteer, in return for payment, to relinquish some or all of its station's spectrum by surrendering the station's license; relinquishing the right to some of the station's spectrum and thereafter share spectrum with another station; or, for stations that operate in the UHF spectrum, modifying the station's UHF channel license to a VHF channel license.

        Second, in order to accommodate the spectrum reallocated to new users, the FCC will "repack" the remaining television broadcast spectrum, which may require certain television stations that did not participate in the reverse auction to modify their transmission facilities, including requiring such stations to operate on other channel designations. The FCC is authorized to reimburse stations for reasonable relocation costs up to a total across all stations of $1.75 billion. In addition, Congress directed the FCC, when repacking the television broadcast spectrum, to use reasonable efforts to preserve a station's coverage area and population served. In addition, the FCC is prohibited from requiring a station to move involuntarily from the UHF spectrum band, the band in which WAPA PR's broadcast licenses operate, to the VHF spectrum band or from the high VHF band to the low VHF band.

        Third, the FCC would conduct a forward auction of the relinquished broadcast spectrum to new users. The FCC must complete the reverse auction and the forward auction by September 30, 2022.

        The outcome of the incentive auction and repacking of broadcast television spectrum or the impact of such items on WAPA PR's business cannot be predicted.

WAPA PR's operations, properties and viewers are located in Puerto Rico and could be adversely affected in the event of a hurricane or other extreme weather condition.

        WAPA's corporate headquarters and production facilities are located in Puerto Rico, where major hurricanes have occurred, as well as other extreme weather conditions, such as tornadoes, floods, fires, unusually heavy or prolonged rain, droughts and heat waves. Depending on where any particular hurricane or other weather event makes landfall, WAPA's properties in Puerto Rico could experience significant damage. Such event could have an adverse effect on WAPA's ability to broadcast its programming or produce new shows. Additionally, many of WAPA PR's regular viewers may be left without power and unable to view WAPA programming. If a hurricane, natural disaster or other significant disruption occurs in Puerto Rico, WAPA PR may experience significant disruptions to its operations, properties and viewership, which could have an adverse effect on its businesses and results of operations.

Risk Factors Relating to WAPA Generally

As the primary market for WAPA PR, Puerto Rico's continuing economic hardships may have a negative effect on the overall performance of WAPA's business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Substantially all of WAPA PR's revenues derive from business activities within Puerto Rico and, as such, WAPA is subject to the risks associated with the Puerto Rico economy. Current financial and economic conditions continue to be uncertain and the continuation or worsening of such conditions could reduce consumer confidence and have an adverse effect on WAPA PR's business, results of operations, and/or financial condition. If consumer confidence were to decline, this decline could negatively affect WAPA PR's advertising customers' businesses and their advertising budgets. In addition, continued volatile economic conditions could have a negative impact on the broadcast television industry or the industries of WAPA PR's customers who advertise on WAPA-TV, resulting in reduced advertising sales. Furthermore, it may be possible that actions taken by any governmental or regulatory body for the purpose of stabilizing the economy or financial markets will not achieve their intended effect. In addition to any negative direct consequences to WAPA PR's business or results of operations arising from these financial and economic developments, some of these actions may

54


Table of Contents

adversely affect financial institutions, capital providers, advertisers, or other consumers on whom it relies, including for access to future capital or financing arrangements necessary to support its business. WAPA PR's inability to obtain financing in amounts and at times necessary could make it more difficult or impossible to meet WAPA PR's obligations or otherwise take actions in the best interests of WAPA PR's business.

        Puerto Rico's track record of poor budget controls and high poverty levels compared to the U.S. average presents ongoing challenges. Although Puerto Rico has implemented measures to deal with its budgetary gaps and economic challenges, including significant expenditure controls and revenue enhancement measures, Puerto Rico possesses an economy in recession since 2006, limited economic activity, lower-than-estimated revenue collections, high government debt levels relative to the size of the economy, forecasted budget deficits through 2012, and other potential fiscal challenges. Significant job losses, potential expenses and delays implementing budget solutions, the loss or reduction in the flow of federal funds, and contraction in the manufacturing and construction sectors could further heighten the risks associated with the WAPA PR exposure to Puerto Rico's economy.

        If economic conditions in Puerto Rico deteriorate, WAPA may experience a reduction in existing and new business, which could have a material adverse effect on its businesses, financial conditions and results of operations.

WAPA is subject to interruptions of distribution as a result of their reliance on broadcast towers and cable networks for transmission of its programming. A significant interruption in transmission ability could seriously affect WAPA's business and results of operations, particularly if not fully covered by its insurance.

        WAPA could experience interruptions of distribution or potentially long-term increased costs of delivery if the ability of broadcast towers to transmit WAPA content is disrupted because of accidents, weather interruptions, governmental regulation, terrorism, or other third party action.

        As protection against these hazards, WAPA maintains insurance coverage against some, but not all, such potential losses and liabilities. WAPA may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount it desires at reasonable rates. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain of WAPA's insurance policies may increase substantially. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. For example, coverage for hurricane damage can be limited, and coverage for terrorism risks can include broad exclusions. If WAPA were to incur a significant liability for which it was not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

The success of much of WAPA PR and WAPA America's programming is dependent upon the retention and performance of on-air talent and program hosts and other key employees.

        WAPA employs or independently contracts with several on-air personalities and hosts with significant loyal audiences in their respective markets. Although WAPA has entered into long-term agreements with some of its key on-air talent and program hosts to protect its interests in those relationships, it can give no assurance that all or any of these persons will remain with WAPA or will retain their audiences. Competition for these individuals is intense and many of these individuals are under no legal obligation to remain with WAPA. WAPA's competitors may choose to extend offers to any of these individuals on terms which WAPA may be unable or unwilling to meet. Furthermore, the popularity and audience loyalty of WAPA's key on-air talent and program hosts is highly sensitive to rapidly changing public tastes. A loss of such popularity or audience loyalty is beyond WAPA's control and could limit WAPA's ability to generate revenue.

WAPA could be adversely affected by strikes or other union job actions.

        WAPA is directly or indirectly dependent upon highly specialized union members who are essential to the production of television programs and news. A strike by, or a lockout of, one or more of the

55


Table of Contents

unions that provide personnel essential to the production of television programs could delay or halt WAPA's ongoing production activities. Such a halt or delay, depending on the length of time, could cause a delay or interruption in WAPA's programming schedule, which could have a material adverse effect on WAPA's businesses, results of operations and financial conditions.

WAPA's television segments may not be able to secure sufficient or additional advertising revenue, and as a result, its profitability may be negatively impacted.

        WAPA's ability to secure additional advertising accounts relating to its operations depends upon the size of its audience, the popularity of its programming and the demographics of its viewers, as well as strategies taken by its competitors, strategies taken by advertisers and the relative bargaining power of advertisers. Competition for advertising accounts and related advertising expenditures is intense. WAPA faces competition for such advertising expenditures from a variety of sources, including other networks and other media. WAPA cannot provide assurance that its sponsors will pay advertising rates for commercial air time at levels sufficient for it to make a profit or that it will be able to attract new advertising sponsors or increase advertising revenues. If WAPA is unable to attract advertising accounts in sufficient quantities, its revenues and profitability may be harmed.

Unrelated third parties may bring claims against WAPA based on the nature and content of information posted on websites maintained by WAPA.

        WAPA hosts internet sites that enable individuals to exchange information, generate content, comment on WAPA content, and engage in various online activities. The law relating to the liability of providers of these online services for activities of their users is currently unsettled both within the United States and internationally. Claims may be brought against WAPA for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, unlawful activity, tort, including personal injury, fraud, or other theories based on the nature and content of information that may be posted online or generated by WAPA.tv or other WAPA-controlled internet site users. Defenses of such actions could be costly and involve significant time and attention of WAPA management and other resources.

If WAPA's goodwill or intangibles become impaired, WAPA will be required to recognize a non-cash charge which could have a significant effect on its reported net earnings.

        A significant portion of WAPA's assets consist of goodwill and intangibles. WAPA tests their goodwill and intangibles for impairment each year. A significant downward revision in the present value of estimated future cash flows for a reporting unit could result in an impairment of their goodwill and intangibles and a noncash charge would be required. Such a charge could have a significant effect on WAPA's reported net earnings.

Risks Relating to Cinelatino Generally

Cinelatino has international operations and exposures that incur certain risks not found in doing business in the United States.

        Doing business in foreign countries carries with it certain risks that are not found in doing business in the United States. The risks of doing business in foreign countries that could result in losses against which Cinelatino is not insured include:

56


Table of Contents

A large portion of Cinelatino's revenue is generated from a limited number of customers, and the loss of these customers could adversely affect its businesses.

        Cinelatino has historically depended on a few customers for a significant percentage of its annual net revenues. The loss of one or more contracts with one of these customers could adversely affect Cinelatino's business, results of operations and financial condition if the lost revenues were not replaced with profitable revenues from that customer or other customers.

Risks Related to WAPA and Cinelatino Businesses Generally

Adverse conditions in the U.S. and international economies could negatively impact WAPA and Cinelatino's results of operations.

        Unfavorable general economic conditions, such as a recession or economic slowdown in the parts of the United States or in one or more of WAPA and Cinelatino's other major markets, could negatively affect the affordability of and demand for some of their products and services. In addition, adverse economic conditions may lead to loss of subscriptions for WAPA and Cinelatino. If these events were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on WAPA and Cinelatino's results of operations.

        The risks associated with WAPA's advertising revenue become more acute in periods of a slowing economy or recession, which may be accompanied by a decrease in advertising. Expenditures by advertisers tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and budgeting and buying patterns. Cancellations, reductions or delays in purchases of advertising could, and often do, occur as a result of a strike, a general economic downturn, an economic downturn in one or more industries or in one or more geographic areas, or a failure to agree on contractual terms.

Any potential hostilities, terrorist attacks, or similarly newsworthy events leading to broadcast interruptions, may affect WAPA or Cinelatino's revenues and results of operations.

        If any existing hostilities escalate, or if the United States experiences a terrorist attack or experiences any similar event resulting in interruptions to regularly scheduled broadcasting, WAPA or Cinelatino may lose revenue and/or incur increased expenses. Lost revenue and increased expenses may be due to preemption, delay or cancellation of advertising campaigns, in the case of WAPA PR and WAPA America, or diminished subscriber fees, as well as increased costs of covering such events. WAPA or Cinelatino cannot predict the (i) extent or duration of any future disruption to its programming schedule, (ii) amount of advertising revenue that would be lost or delayed to WAPA PR and WAPA America, (iii) the amount of decline in any subscriber fees or (iv) amount by which

57


Table of Contents

broadcasting expenses would increase as a result. Any such loss of revenue and increased expenses could negatively affect its future results of operations.

WAPA and Cinelatino's results may be adversely affected if long-term programming contracts are not renewed on sufficiently favorable terms.

        WAPA and Cinelatino enter into long-term contracts for acquisition of programming, including movies, television series, and, in WAPA's case, sporting rights and other programs. As these contracts expire, WAPA and Cinelatino must renew or renegotiate the contracts, and if they are unable to renew them on acceptable terms, they may lose programming rights. Even if these contracts are renewed, the cost of obtaining programming rights may increase (or increase at faster rates than their historical experience) or the revenue from distribution of programs may be reduced (or increase at slower rates than their historical experience). With respect to the acquisition of programming rights, the impact of these long-term contracts on WAPA and Cinelatino's results over the term of the contracts depends on a number of factors, including effectiveness of marketing efforts, the size of audiences and with respect to WAPA, the strength of advertising markets. There can be no assurance that revenues from programming based on these rights will exceed the cost of the rights plus the other costs of distributing the programming.

Changes in consumer behavior resulting from new technologies and distribution platforms may impact the performance of WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses.

        WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses are focused on television, and both face emerging competition from other providers of digital media, some of which have greater financial, marketing and other resources than WAPA or Cinelatino do. In particular, programming offered over the Internet has become more prevalent as the speed and quality of broadband networks have improved. Providers such as Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon and Google TV are aggressively working to establish themselves as alternative providers of video services. These services and the growing availability of online content, coupled with an expanding market for connected devices and internet-connected televisions, may impact WAPA and Cinelatino's traditional distribution methods for their services and content. Additionally, devices that allow users to view television programs on a time-shifted basis and technologies that enable users to fast-forward or skip programming have caused changes in consumer behavior that may affect the attractiveness of WAPA's offerings to advertisers and could therefore adversely affect its revenues. If WAPA and Cinelatino cannot ensure that their distribution methods and content are responsive to their target audiences, WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses could be adversely affected.

Possible strategic initiatives may impact WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses.

        WAPA and Cinelatino will continue to evaluate the nature and scope of their operations and various short-term and long-term strategic considerations. There are uncertainties and risks relating to strategic initiatives. Also, prospective competitors may have greater financial resources. Future acquisitions may not be available on attractive terms, or at all. Also, if WAPA and Cinelatino do make acquisitions, they may not be able to successfully integrate the acquired businesses. Finally, certain acquisitions or divestitures may be subject to FCC approval and FCC rules and regulations. Any of these efforts would require varying levels of management resources, which could divert WAPA and Cinelatino attention from other business operations. If WAPA and Cinelatino do not realize the expected benefits or synergies of such transactions, there may be an adverse effect on their financial condition and operating results.

The loss of key personnel could disrupt and adversely affect WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses.

        WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses depend upon the continued efforts, abilities and expertise of their corporate executive teams. There can be no assurance that these individuals will remain with their

58


Table of Contents

respective companies. See also "The success of much of WAPA PR and WAPA America's programming is dependent upon the retention and performance of on-air talent and program hosts and other key employees" above.

Protection of electronically stored data is costly and if WAPA or Cinelatino's data is compromised in spite of this protection, WAPA and Cinelatino may incur additional costs, lost opportunities and damage to its reputation.

        WAPA and Cinelatino maintain information in digital form necessary to conduct their businesses, including confidential and proprietary information regarding their advertisers, customers, Distributors, employees and viewers as well as personal information. Data maintained in digital form is subject to the risk of intrusion, tampering and theft. WAPA and Cinelatino develop and maintain systems to prevent this from occurring, but the development and maintenance of these systems is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated. Moreover, despite WAPA and Cinelatino's efforts, the possibility of intrusion, tampering and theft cannot be eliminated entirely, and risks associated with each of these remain. In addition, WAPA and Cinelatino provide confidential, proprietary and personal information to third parties when it is necessary to pursue business objectives. While WAPA and Cinelatino obtain assurances that these third parties will protect this information and, where appropriate, monitor the protections employed by these third parties, there is a risk the confidentiality of data held by third parties may be compromised. If WAPA and Cinelatino's data systems are compromised, WAPA and Cinelatino's ability to conduct their businesses may be impaired, they may lose profitable opportunities or the value of those opportunities may be diminished and, as described above, WAPA and Cinelatino may lose revenue as a result of unlicensed use of their intellectual property. Further, a penetration of WAPA and Cinelatino's network security or other misappropriation or misuse of personal consumer or employee information could subject WAPA and Cinelatino to financial, litigation and reputation risk, which could have a negative effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations.

If WAPA and Cinelatino are unable to protect their domain names, their reputation and brands could be adversely affected.

        WAPA and Cinelatino currently hold various domain name registrations relating to their brands. The registration and maintenance of domain names generally are regulated by governmental agencies and their designees. Governing bodies may establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, WAPA and Cinelatino may be unable to register or maintain relevant domain names. WAPA and Cinelatino may be unable, without significant cost or at all, to prevent third parties from registering domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of, WAPA and Cinelatino's trademarks and other proprietary rights. Failure to protect their domain names could adversely affect WAPA and Cinelatino's reputation and brands, and make it more difficult for users to find their websites and services.

Changes in governmental regulation, interpretation or legislative reform could increase WAPA and Cinelatino's costs of doing business and adversely affect their profitability.

        Laws and regulations, including in the areas of advertising, consumer affairs, data protection, finance, marketing, privacy, publishing and taxation requirements, are subject to change and differing interpretations. Changes in the political climate or in existing laws or regulations, or their interpretations, or the enactment of new laws or the issuance of new regulations or changes in enforcement priorities or activity could adversely affect WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses by, among other things:

59


Table of Contents

        Compliance with regulations is costly and time-consuming, and WAPA and Cinelatino may encounter difficulties, delays or significant expenses in connection with their compliance, and WAPA and Cinelatino may be exposed to significant penalties, liabilities, reputational harm and loss of business in the event that they fail to comply. While it is not possible to predict when or whether fundamental policy or interpretive changes would occur, these or other changes could fundamentally change the dynamics of WAPA and Cinelatino's industry or the costs associated with their operations. Changes in public policy or enforcement priorities could materially affect WAPA and Cinelatino's profitability, their ability to retain or grow business, or in the event of extreme circumstances, their financial condition. There can be no assurance that legislative or regulatory change or interpretive differences will not have a material adverse effect on WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses.

Changes in accounting standards can significantly impact reported operating results.

        Generally accepted accounting principles, accompanying pronouncements and implementation guidelines for many aspects of WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses, including those related to intangible assets and income taxes, are complex and involve significant judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation could significantly change WAPA and Cinelatino's reported operating results.

WAPA or Cinelatino may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be time-consuming, costly to defend and result in WAPA and/or Cinelatino's loss of significant rights.

        Other parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us, and WAPA or Cinelatino's products may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. From time to time, WAPA and Cinelatino receive letters alleging infringement of intellectual property rights of others. Intellectual property litigation can be expensive and time-consuming and could divert management's attention from WAPA and Cinelatino's businesses. If there is a successful claim of infringement against WAPA or Cinelatino, either may be required to pay substantial damages to the party claiming infringement or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable or desirable terms, if at all. WAPA and Cinelatino's failure to license proprietary rights on a timely basis would harm their businesses.

Disruption or failures of WAPA and Cinelatino's information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on their businesses.

        WAPA and Cinelatino's information technology systems are susceptible to security breaches, operational data loss, general disruptions in functionality, and may not be compatible with new technology. WAPA and Cinelatino depend on their information technology systems for the effectiveness of their operations and to interface with their customers, as well as to maintain financial records and accuracy. Disruption or failures of WAPA or Cinelatino's information technology systems could impair their ability to effectively and timely provide their services and products and maintain their financial records, which could damage their reputation and have a material adverse effect on their businesses.

Any violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other similar laws and regulations could have a negative impact on WAPA and Cinelatino.

        WAPA and Cinelatino are subject to risks associated with doing business outside of the United States, which exposes them to complex foreign and U.S. regulations inherent in doing business cross-border and in each of the countries in which it transacts business. WAPA and Cinelatino are subject to regulations imposed by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, and other anti-corruption laws that generally prohibit U.S. companies and their subsidiaries from offering, promising, authorizing or making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Violations of the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties and the SEC and U.S. Department of Justice have increased their enforcement activities with respect to the FCPA. Internal control policies and procedures and employee training and compliance programs that either WAPA or Cinelatino have implemented to deter prohibited practices may not be effective in prohibiting employees, contractors or agents from violating or circumventing such policies and the law. If WAPA and/or Cinelatino employees or agents fail to comply with applicable laws or company policies governing their international operations, WAPA and Cinelatino may face investigations, prosecutions and other legal proceedings and actions which could result in civil penalties, administrative remedies and criminal sanctions. Any determination that WAPA and Cinelatino have violated the FCPA could have a material adverse effect on their financial condition. Compliance with international and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to international operations increases the cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions.

Risk Factors Relating to the Transaction

Azteca stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of the shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to be issued upon completion of the Transaction.

        Azteca stockholders will receive a fixed number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock in the Transaction rather than a number of shares with a particular fixed market value. The market values of Azteca common stock at the time of the Transaction may vary significantly from prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or the date on which Azteca stockholders vote on the Transaction. Because the merger consideration exchange ratio will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market prices of Azteca common stock, the market value of the Hemisphere Class A common stock issued in the Transaction and the Azteca common stock retired for cash in the Transaction may be higher or lower than the value of these shares on earlier dates. All of the merger consideration to be received by Azteca stockholders will be Hemisphere Class A common stock.

There has been no prior public market for Hemisphere's common stock.

        The Hemisphere Class A common stock is a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. We intend to apply to list the Hemisphere Class A common stock on

61


Table of Contents

NASDAQ, however, an active public market for the Hemisphere Class A common stock may not develop or be sustained after the consummation of the Transaction, which could affect the ability to sell, or depress the market price of, the Hemisphere Class A common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop or how liquid that market might become. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Hemisphere Class A common stock will be approved for listing on NASDAQ.

        The Hemisphere Class B common stock is a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. We do not intend to have Hemisphere Class B common stock listed on a national securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system. Therefore, an active market for the Hemisphere Class B common stock may not develop or, if developed, it may not continue. The liquidity of any market for the Hemisphere Class B common stock will depend upon the number of holders of such securities, Hemisphere's performance, the market for similar securities, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the Hemisphere Class B common stock and other factors. A liquid trading market may not develop for the Hemisphere Class B common stock. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the price and liquidity of the Hemisphere Class B common stock may be adversely affected. In addition, the Hemisphere Class B common stock may trade at a discount from their value on the date you acquired such shares, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, Hemisphere's performance and other factors.

If, following the consummation of the Transaction, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about Hemisphere, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding Hemisphere Class A common stock adversely, the price and trading volume of Hemisphere Class A common stock could decline.

        If, following the consummation of the Transaction, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about Hemisphere, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding Hemisphere Class A common stock adversely, the price and trading volume of Hemisphere Class A common stock could decline. The trading market for Hemisphere Class A common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about it, its business, its market, or its competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on Hemisphere. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of Hemisphere, its stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover Hemisphere change their recommendation regarding its stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about its competitors, the price of Hemisphere Class A common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover Hemisphere were to cease coverage of Hemisphere or fail to regularly publish reports on it, Hemisphere could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause its stock price or trading volume to decline.

The stock price of Hemisphere's common stock may be volatile.

        The stock price of Hemisphere Class A common stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume of Hemisphere Class A common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. Some of the factors that could cause fluctuations in the stock price or trading volume of the Hemisphere Class A common stock include:

Table of Contents

        We cannot assure you that the price of Hemisphere Class A common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. In addition, the stock market in general can experience considerable price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to Hemisphere's performance.

Hemisphere will be a "controlled company" within the meaning of NASDAQ rules and, as a result, Hemisphere will qualify for, and may choose to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

        Upon the closing of the Transaction, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will control approximately 96% of the voting power of all of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock. As a result of the concentration of the voting rights in Hemisphere, it will be a "controlled company" within the meaning of the rules and corporate governance standards of NASDAQ. Under the NASDAQ rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a "controlled company" and may elect not to comply with certain NASDAQ corporate governance requirements, including:

        Accordingly, Hemisphere's stockholders will not be afforded the same protections generally as stockholders of other NASDAQ-listed companies for so long as the former owners of WAPA and Cinelatino control 50% or more of Hemisphere's voting power and Hemisphere relies upon such exemptions. The interests of Hemisphere's controlling stockholders may conflict with the interests of Hemisphere's other stockholders, and the concentration of voting power in such stockholders will limit Hemisphere's other stockholders ability to influence corporate matters.

Following the transaction, Hemisphere will be controlled by the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors; the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will exercise significant influence over Hemisphere and their interests in Hemisphere's business may be different from the interests of Hemisphere stockholders.

        Upon the consummation of the transaction, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will control approximately 96% of the voting power of all of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock. The

63


Table of Contents

consideration paid in the WAPA Merger and the Cinelatino Merger consists of Hemisphere Class B common stock, which will vote on a 10 to 1 basis with the Hemisphere Class A common stock, which means that each share of Hemisphere Class B common stock will have 10 votes and each share of Hemisphere Class A common stock will have 1 vote. All shares of Hemisphere's common stock will vote together as a single class. Accordingly, the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will generally have the ability for the foreseeable future to influence the outcome of any corporate action of Hemisphere which requires stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, the election of directors, significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of Hemisphere or the sale of all or substantially all of Hemisphere's assets. This concentrated voting control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could adversely affect the market price of Hemisphere's Class A common stock.

        The WAPA/Cinelatino Investors may delay or prevent a change in control of Hemisphere. In addition, the significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the value of Hemisphere Class A common stock due to a resulting lack of liquidity of Hemisphere Class A common stock or a perception among investors that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. If the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors sell substantial amounts of Hemisphere Class A common stock (upon conversion of their Class B common stock) in the public market, or investors perceive that these sales could occur, the market price of Hemisphere Class A common stock could be adversely affected.

        The interests of the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors, which have investments in other companies, may from time to time diverge from the interests of other Hemisphere stockholders, particularly with regard to new investment opportunities. The WAPA/Cinelatino Investors are not restricted from investing in other businesses involving or related to programming, content, production and broadcasting. The WAPA/Cinelatino Investors may also engage in other businesses that compete or may in the future compete with Hemisphere.

        In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Hemisphere entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with certain parties including the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors. If requested properly under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, certain of these stockholders have the right to require Hemisphere to register the offer and sale of all or some of Hemisphere Class A common stock (including upon conversion of their Hemisphere Class B common stock and warrants) under the Securities Act in certain circumstances and also have the right to include those shares in a registration initiated by Hemisphere. If Hemisphere is required to include the shares of common stock held by these stockholders pursuant to these registration rights in a registration initiated by Hemisphere, sales made by such stockholders may adversely affect the price of Hemisphere Class A common stock and Hemisphere's ability to raise needed capital. In addition, if these stockholders exercise their demand registration rights and cause a large number of shares to be sold in the public market or demand that Hemisphere include their shares for registration on a shelf registration statement, such sales or shelf registration may have an adverse effect on the market price of Hemisphere Class A common stock. For a complete description of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, see "The Agreements—Additional Agreements—The Registration Rights Agreement."

        Also in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors, the Azteca Initial Stockholders, Gabriel Brener and Brener International Group, LLC have entered into a lock-up agreement with WAPA, Cinelatino and Hemisphere (the "Lock-up Agreement"). Under the Lock-up Agreement, the investors subject to the Lock-up Agreement and their permitted transferees may not transfer (i) all or any portion of their shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock and Hemisphere Class B common stock (including any shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock that may be received upon exercise of warrants) for a period of one year following the consummation of the Transaction, subject to certain exceptions and (ii) any warrants for a period of 30 days following the consummation of the Transaction. For a complete description of the terms of the Lock-up agreement, see "The Agreements—Additional Agreements—The Lock-up Agreement."

Upon the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere will have a staggered board of directors and other anti-takeover provisions, which may entrench management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of stockholders.

        Hemisphere's proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that its board of directors will be divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. As a result, at any annual meeting only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for election. Since this "staggered board" would prevent Hemisphere stockholders from replacing a majority of its board of directors at any annual meeting, it may entrench management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of stockholders. Some of the provisions of Hemisphere's proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law could, together or separately, discourage potential acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control. In particular, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with rights and privileges that might be senior to either class of Hemisphere common stock and, without the consent of the holders of either class of Hemisphere common stock.

If Hemisphere fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, the accuracy and timing of its financial reporting may be impaired, which could adversely affect its business and stock price.

        The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that Hemisphere maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Neither WAPA nor Cinelatino has previously been subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. With respect to its fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, Hemisphere must perform system and process evaluation and testing of Hemisphere's internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of Hemisphere's internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Hemisphere's testing, or the subsequent testing by its independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Compliance with Section 404 will require that Hemisphere incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues. Management expects that integration of Cinelatino and WAPA will require substantial management time and attention during 2013, and the additional need to focus on compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley may strain management and finance resources and otherwise present additional administrative and operational challenges as Hemisphere management seeks to integrate the two businesses.

        If Hemisphere is not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if it fails to remedy any material weakness and maintain effective internal control over its financial reporting in the future, its financial statements may be inaccurate, its ability to report its financial results on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected, its access to the capital markets may be restricted, the trading price of its common stock may decline, and it may be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, including the SEC or NASDAQ.

Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Transaction is pending.

        Uncertainty about the effect of the Transaction on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Azteca, WAPA or Cinelatino and consequently on the combined company. These uncertainties may impair WAPA's or Cinelatino's ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause customers and others that deal with WAPA or Cinelatino to defer entering into contracts with WAPA or Cinelatino or making other decisions concerning WAPA or Cinelatino or seek to change existing business relationships with WAPA or Cinelatino. If key employees depart because of

65


Table of Contents

uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the Transaction, Azteca's, WAPA's and Cinelatino's business could be harmed. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions until the Transaction occurs without the consent of the other party. These restrictions may prevent Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Transaction. See the section entitled "The Agreements—Description of the Merger Agreement—Additional Agreements" beginning on page 181 for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino.

Certain directors and executive officers of Azteca may have direct and indirect interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in addition to or in conflict with, yours.

        Executive officers of Azteca negotiated the terms of the Transaction and the Azteca Board approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement. These directors and executive officers may have direct and indirect interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in addition to or in conflict with, yours. These interests include the continued employment of certain executive officers of Azteca by Hemisphere, the continued positions of certain directors of Azteca as directors of Hemisphere, and the indemnification of former Azteca directors and Azteca officers by Hemisphere and the surviving corporations. You should be aware of these interests when you consider the Azteca Board's recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. For a discussion of the interests of directors and executive officers in the Transaction, see "The Transaction—Interests of Azteca Officers and Directors in the Transaction" beginning on page 164.

Certain current directors and executive officers of Azteca own shares of Azteca common stock and warrants that may be worthless if the Transaction is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Transaction.

        Following the consummation of the Transaction, the current directors and executive officers of Azteca will beneficially own approximately 2,250,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock (after giving effect to the forfeiture of 250,000 founder's shares by the Azteca Initial Stockholders) and will have the right to acquire an additional 1,166,667 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock through the exercise of warrants (after giving effect to the sale of 2,333,334 Amended Azteca Warrants by Brener International Group, LLC, Juan Pablo Albán and Clive Fleissig immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction), subject to certain limitations. Such persons are not entitled to receive any of the cash proceeds that may be distributed upon Azteca's liquidation with respect to shares they acquired prior to Azteca's initial public offering. Therefore, if the Transaction is not approved and Azteca does not consummate another business combination by April 6, 2013 and is forced to liquidate, such founder's shares and Sponsor Warrants held by such persons will be worthless. As of March 8, 2013, the trading day immediately prior to the record date, Azteca's current directors and executive officers beneficially held approximately $25.5 million in Azteca's common stock (based on a market price of $10.20) and approximately $5.4 million in warrants (based on a market price of $1.15). These financial interests of Azteca's current directors and executive officers may have influenced their decision to approve the Transaction and to continue to pursue the Transaction. See "The Transaction—Interests of Azteca Officers and Directors in the Transaction" beginning on page 164.

Hemisphere's dependence on subsidiaries for cash flow may negatively affect Hemisphere's business.

        Hemisphere is a holding company with no business operations of its own. Hemisphere's only significant asset is, and is expected to be, the outstanding capital stock and membership interests of its subsidiaries. Hemisphere conducts, and expects to continue conducting, all of its business operations

66


Table of Contents

through its subsidiaries. Accordingly, Hemisphere's ability to pay its obligations is dependent upon dividends and other distributions from its subsidiaries to Hemisphere. Each of Hemisphere's operating subsidiaries currently has outstanding debt and each of these debt instruments which limit such entity's ability to remit dividends to its shareholder. Consequently, Hemisphere's ability to pay its expenses or pay dividends will be limited by funds that its subsidiaries are permitted to dividend to Hemisphere.

WAPA and Cinelatino's existing debt may limit the businesses' financial and operating flexibility.

        WAPA and Cinelatino's existing debt includes financial covenants restricting their ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other payments, make loans and investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, and consolidate, merge or sell assets. These covenants limit the ability of the respective restricted entities to fund future working capital and capital expenditures, engage in future acquisitions or development activities, or otherwise realize the value of their assets and opportunities fully because of the need to dedicate a portion of cash flow from operations to payments on debt. In addition, such covenants limit the flexibility of the respective restricted entities in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industries in which they operate.

The shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to be received by Azteca stockholders as a result of the Transaction will have different rights from shares of Azteca common stock.

        Following completion of the Transaction, Azteca stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Azteca but will instead be stockholders of Hemisphere. There will be important differences between your current rights as an Azteca stockholder and your rights as a Hemisphere stockholder. See "Comparison of Stockholder Rights" beginning on page 216 for a discussion of the different rights associated with Hemisphere Class A common stock.

Significant costs are expected to be incurred in connection with the consummation of the transaction, including legal, accounting, financial advisory and other costs.

        If the transaction is consummated, Hemisphere, Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino expect to incur significant costs, including a number of non-recurring costs associated with consummating the Transaction. Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino will also incur significant fees and expenses relating to financing arrangements and legal, accounting and other transaction fees and costs associated with the Transaction. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the Transaction is completed.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this document may not be indicative of what Hemisphere's actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

        The unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Hemisphere's actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Transaction been completed on the dates indicated. Hemisphere's actual financial condition and results of operations may materially differ from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" beginning on page 202 for more information.

A registration statement relating to the exercise of the Hemisphere Class A common stock underlying the warrants and a current prospectus may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants; in that case these warrants will be subject to "cashless exercise." If an exemption from registration is not available, this may prevent an investor from being able to exercise its warrants resulting in such warrants expiring worthless.

        Although Hemisphere intends to file with the SEC a new registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the issuance of Hemisphere Class A common stock upon exercise of the

67


Table of Contents

warrants, and cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants, it is not required to do so under the Warrant Agreement, as amended by the Warrant Amendment. In addition, no warrant will be exercisable and Hemisphere will not be obligated to issue Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the common stock so issuable has been registered, qualified or deemed exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered warrantholder. If such warrantholder is unable to exercise its warrants in a particular state, such holder may be forced to sell its warrants and therefore lose the benefit of purchasing Hemisphere Class A common stock. Furthermore, the price such holder receives for its warrant may not equal the difference between the exercise price and the stock price.

        If Hemisphere elects not to file such registration statement, Hemisphere will on the 31st day following the consummation of the Transaction be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, by exchanging the warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Act or another exemption). Even if Hemisphere does file such a registration statement but later withdraws or does not maintain its effectiveness, Hemisphere will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. If an exemption from registration is not available, no warrant will be exercisable on a cashless basis, and Hemisphere will not be obligated to issue any Hemisphere Class A common stock to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of Hemisphere Class A common stock upon such exercise are registered or qualified under the Act and securities laws of the state of the exercising holder as described above. For additional circumstances under which the warrants will not be exercisable, see the risk factor entitled "Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, a warrantholder may exercise its warrant for only a whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock."

Azteca's working capital will be reduced if Azteca's stockholders exercise their right to redeem their shares for cash, which reduced working capital may adversely affect Hemisphere's business and future operations.

        Pursuant to Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, Azteca stockholders may demand that Azteca redeem their shares for cash in an amount equal to the greater of $10.05 per share or the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Transaction, less franchise and income taxes payable and less any interest that Azteca was permitted to withdraw in accordance with the Trust Agreement, by (ii) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Transaction, into a pro rata share of the Trust Account. Funds from the Trust Account will be used to pay deferred underwriting fees payable to Azteca's underwriter in connection with its initial public offering and consulting fees due to certain of Azteca's consultants and advisors and to pay approximately $4.0 million for transaction expenses. If the amount remaining in the Trust Account after these expenses are paid is insufficient to fund Hemisphere's working capital requirements, Hemisphere would need to seek to borrow funds necessary to satisfy such requirements. Azteca cannot assure you that such funds would be available to Hemisphere on terms favorable to it or at all. If such funds were not available to Hemisphere, it may adversely affect Hemisphere's operations and profitability.

Warrants may be exercised in the future, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to Hemisphere's stockholders.

        Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,333,334 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock (issued in exchange for Azteca warrants issued in Azteca's initial public offering and concurrent private placement, taking into account the Warrant Amendment, the sale of Sponsor Warrants to Azteca and the issuance of warrants to the owners of WAPA and Cinelatino) will become exercisable 30 days after the consummation of the Transaction. These warrants likely will be exercised

68


Table of Contents

only if the $6.00 per one half-share exercise price is below the market price of the shares of Azteca common stock. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of common stock of Hemisphere and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the Hemisphere Class A common stock.

If Azteca stockholders fail to deliver their shares in accordance with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of Azteca common stock for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

        Azteca stockholders may demand that Azteca redeem their shares into cash in an amount equal to the greater of $10.05 per share or the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Transaction, less franchise and income taxes payable and less any interest that Azteca was permitted to withdraw in accordance with the Trust Agreement, by (ii) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares. Azteca stockholders who seek to exercise this redemption right must deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Azteca's transfer agent, prior to the Azteca special meeting. Any Azteca stockholder who fails to deliver his or her stock in accordance with the procedures described in this proxy statement/prospectus will not be entitled to redeem his or her shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. See the section entitled "The Transaction—Redemption Rights of Azteca Stockholders" for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares to cash.

The exercise of discretion by Azteca's directors' and officers' in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Transaction may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Transaction or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in stockholders' best interests.

        In the period leading up to the closing of the Transaction, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require Azteca to agree to amend one or more of those agreements, as applicable, to consent to certain actions taken by the other parties to such agreements or to waive rights that they are entitled to under such agreements. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of the respective business of another party to the Transaction, a request by another party to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement, or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Azteca's, WAPA's or Cinelatino's respective businesses and would entitle Azteca to terminate such agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be discretionary on Azteca, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or she may believe is best for Azteca, and what he may believe is best for himself in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Azteca does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that its respective directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Azteca Merger proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, Azteca will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit Azteca's stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material adverse impact on Azteca stockholders are required prior to the stockholder vote on the Azteca Merger proposal.

If the Transaction is completed, a large portion of the funds in the Trust Account may be used for the purchase, directly or indirectly, of Azteca common stock. As a consequence, if the Transaction is completed, such funds will not be available to Hemisphere for working capital and general corporate purposes and the number of beneficial holders of Hemisphere's securities may be reduced to a number that may preclude the quotation, trading or listing of Hemisphere's securities other than on the OTCBB.

        After the payment of expenses associated with the transaction, including investment banking and finder's fees and deferred underwriting commissions, consultant fees, the balance of funds in the Trust Account will be available to Hemisphere for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, a portion of the funds in the Trust Account may be used to acquire Azteca common stock from holders thereof who elect to redeem their shares into cash. As a consequence of such purchases:

There are significant limitations on Azteca's right to make contractual indemnification claims against WAPA or Cinelatino for the breach of any representations and warranties or covenants made by WAPA or Cinelatino in the Merger Agreement.

        Azteca does not have a right under the terms of the Merger Agreement to make contractual indemnification claims after the closing of the Transaction against WAPA or Cinelatino under any circumstances including for a breach by WAPA or Cinelatino of the representations and warranties made to Azteca or for a violation by WAPA or Cinelatino of certain covenants and agreements in the Merger Agreement and related documents. This limitation does not affect any other entitlement, remedy or recourse permitted by law that Azteca may have against WAPA or Cinelatino.

WAPA, Cinelatino and Azteca may not be able to satisfy certain conditions for closing the Transaction, and WAPA and Cinelatino may not be able to obtain the regulatory approvals required to consummate the Transaction unless they agree to material restrictions or conditions.

        The obligation of WAPA, Cinelatino and Azteca to consummate the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and failure to satisfy or waive any of these conditions may result in the Transaction not being consummated. For example, it is a condition of closing of the Transaction that Azteca must have at least $80.0 million of cash in the Trust Account, after giving effect to any redemptions by Azteca's stockholders, but before giving effect to cash payable pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, payment of deferred underwriting fees payable to Azteca's underwriter in connection with its initial public offering and consulting fees due to certain of Azteca's consultants and advisors, transaction expenses and any cash contribution from WAPA or Cinelatino. In addition, consummation of the Transaction is subject to prior receipt of certain approvals and consents required to be obtained from applicable governmental and regulatory authorities, including under the HSR Act and the Communications Act. The FCC has granted its consent for the transfer of control that will occur with regard to the FCC-issued television broadcast, wireless and earth station licenses. WAPA and Cinelatino have agreed to use all reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause their applicable affiliates to obtain, all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations from any governmental or regulatory authority necessary to consummate the transaction as promptly as practicable. Complying with requests from such governmental agencies, including requests for additional information and documents, could delay consummation of the Transaction. In connection

Table of Contents

with granting these consents and authorizations, governmental authorities may require divestitures of Cinelatino or WAPA assets or seek to impose conditions on Hemisphere's operations after consummation of the Transaction. Such divestitures or conditions may jeopardize or delay consummation of the Transaction or may reduce the anticipated benefits of the Transaction. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, although WAPA, Cinelatino and Azteca are required to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary governmental approvals, they are not required to agree to any divestitures in connection with such efforts or take any actions which would bind them even if the consummation of the transaction was not to occur.

Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants for only a whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock.

        Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, among other things, each warrant to purchase Azteca common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction (including warrants initially issued to Azteca's Sponsor) will become exercisable for one half of the number of shares of common stock of Azteca at an exercise price of $6.00 per half-share and each holder of Azteca warrants (including Sponsor Warrants) will receive for each such warrant (in exchange for the reduction in shares for which such warrants are exercisable), $0.50 in cash. Upon consummation of the Transaction, each Amended Azteca Warrant will be converted into an equal number of Hemisphere warrants and will be exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on the same terms as were in effect with respect to such Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock. This means that only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by the warrantholder. For example, if a warrantholder holds one warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Hemisphere Class A common stock, such warrant shall not be exercisable. If a warrantholder holds two warrants, such warrants will be exercisable for one share of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Hemisphere will not pay cash in lieu of fractional warrants and will not cash-settle any warrants after giving effect to the Warrant Amendment.

Risk Factors Relating to the Failure to Consummate the Transaction

Azteca will have insufficient time to complete an alternate business combination if the Transaction proposal is not approved by Azteca's stockholders or the Transaction is otherwise not completed.

        Pursuant to Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in the event Azteca has not consummated a business combination by April 6, 2013, Azteca is required to begin the dissolution process provided for in Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. These requirements may not be eliminated or amended without the vote of Azteca's board, the vote of at least 65% of the voting power of Azteca's outstanding voting stock and Azteca offering to redeem any Public Shares held by holders of Public Shares voting against the amendment. Therefore, if the Warrant Amendment Proposal is not approved by Azteca's warrantholders or the Transaction proposal is not approved by Azteca's stockholders, Azteca will not complete the Transaction and will not be able to complete an alternative business combination by April 6, 2013, and Azteca will be required to commence a process to dissolve and distribute its assets.

Failure to complete the Transaction could negatively affect the businesses and financial results of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino.

        If the Transaction is not completed, the ongoing businesses of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino may be adversely affected and Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino will be subject to several risks and consequences, including the following:

        Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino also could be subject to litigation related to a failure to complete the Transaction or to enforce each company's obligations under the Merger Agreement. If the Transaction is not consummated, it is likely that Azteca will be liquidated and forced to dissolve at the end of its existence on April 6, 2013.

INFORMATION ABOUT AZTECA

Overview

        Azteca is a blank check company that was initially formed in the British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on June 8, 2011, for the purpose of directly or indirectly, effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (a "business combination"). Pursuant to Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, Azteca will have until April 6, 2013 to consummate a business combination. If Azteca is unable to consummate Azteca's initial business combination within such time, Azteca will, (1) as promptly as possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem all Public Shares for cash in a per-share amount equal to the aggregate amount held in the Trust Account, including interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $50,000 of such net interest that may be released to Azteca from the Trust Account to pay liquidation expenses, (2) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of Azteca's affairs, as further described herein and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Azteca's remaining stockholders and Azteca's board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Azteca's obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Prior to June 29, 2011, Azteca's efforts were limited to organizational activities and Azteca's initial public offering, and since that time to the search for a suitable business combination.

        Azteca's executive offices are located at 421 N. Beverly Drive, Suite 300, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 and Azteca's telephone number at that location is (310) 553-7009.

Significant Activities Since Inception

        A registration statement for Azteca's initial public offering was declared effective June 29, 2011. On July 6, 2011, Azteca sold 10,000,000 units in its initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Azteca's common stock, $.0001 par value per share and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from Azteca one share of common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 commencing the later of 30 days following the completion of an initial business combination or July 6, 2012 (one year from the effective date of the initial public offering), and expiring five years from the date of Azteca's initial business combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Azteca may redeem the warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. On July 6, 2011, Azteca received net proceeds of approximately $101,218,000 (which includes proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Warrants, as described below) before deducting deferred underwriting compensation and certain consulting fees.

        On July 6, 2011, Azteca's Sponsor purchased warrants exercisable for up to 4,666,667 shares of common stock from Azteca for $3,500,000. These Sponsor Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the initial public offering, except that if held by the original holders or their permitted assigns, they may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis and are not subject to being called for redemption.

        Subsequent to the initial public offering, an amount of $100,500,000 of the net proceeds of the initial public offering was deposited in the interest-bearing Trust Account and invested only in United States government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest solely in United States treasuries.

73


Table of Contents

        On June 30, 2011, Azteca's units commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "AZTAU." Holders of Azteca's units were able to separately trade the common stock and warrants included in such units commencing on August 22, 2011 and the trading in the units has continued under the symbol AZTAU. The common stock and warrants are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbols AZTA and AZTAW, respectively.

Effecting a Transaction

        Azteca has neither engaged in any commercial operations nor generated any revenues to date. Azteca's only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, and the search for a suitable business combination target. Azteca will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of Azteca's initial business combination. Azteca will, however, generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents until the completion of Azteca's initial combination.

        Because, unlike many blank check companies, Azteca does not have the limitation that a target business have a minimum fair market value equal to a specified percentage of the net assets held in the Trust Account at the time of Azteca's signing a definitive agreement in connection with Azteca's initial business combination, Azteca's management had virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting one or more prospective target businesses, although Azteca was not permitted to effectuate Azteca's initial business combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations. Although Azteca's management has endeavored to evaluate the risks inherent in the target businesses, Azteca may not have properly ascertained or assessed all significant risk factors.

        Based on its available resources, Azteca did not have the resources to complete business combinations with unrelated entities or in a variety of industries. Upon consummation of the Transaction, Azteca will acquire two related entities. As a result, Azteca's lack of diversification may:

Opportunity for Stockholder Approval of the Transaction

        Because Azteca is engaging in the Azteca Merger, Azteca is submitting the Transaction proposal pursuant to the DGCL. The quorum required to constitute this meeting, as for all meetings of Azteca stockholders in accordance with the Azteca bylaws, is a majority of Azteca's common stock (whether or not held by Azteca public stockholders). Azteca will consummate the Azteca Merger only if the required number of shares are voted in favor of the Transaction, and the other conditions to the Transaction are satisfied. If a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock are not voted in favor of the Transaction, it is unlikely that Azteca could continue to seek other target businesses with which to effect its initial business combination by April 6, 2013.

        Unlike many other blank check companies in which the founders agree to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public stockholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, as well as any Public Shares purchased during or after the initial public offering, in favor of the Transaction. The Azteca Initial Stockholders own approximately 20% of Azteca's common stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if the Azteca Initial Stockholders agreed to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by Azteca's public stockholders.

74


Table of Contents

        Azteca may enter into privately negotiated transactions to purchase Public Shares effective as of the consummation of the Transaction from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Azteca's Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates also may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions either prior to or following the consummation of the Transaction. Such a purchase would include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of Azteca's shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that Azteca or its sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares.

        The purpose of such purchases would be to (i) increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Transaction or (ii), where the purchases are made by Azteca's Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates, to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires Azteca to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of the Transaction, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. This may result in the consummation of the Transaction that may not otherwise have been possible.

        As a consequence of any such purchases by Azteca:

        Azteca's Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates anticipate that they will identify the stockholders with whom Azteca's Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting Azteca directly or by Azteca's receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders following Azteca's mailing of proxy materials in connection with Azteca's initial business combination. To the extent that Azteca's Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only

75


Table of Contents

potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against the Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of such arrangements, any shares so purchased by Azteca's Sponsor, officers, advisors, directors and/or their affiliates would then revoke their election to redeem such shares. The terms of such purchases would operate to facilitate Azteca's ability to consummate a proposed business combination by potentially reducing the number of shares redeemed for cash.

Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Initial Transaction

        Azteca's Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed that Azteca must complete its initial business combination by April 6, 2013. Azteca may not be able to consummate Azteca's initial business combination within such time period. If Azteca is unable to consummate its initial business combination prior to April 6, 2013, Azteca will, (1) as promptly as possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem all Public Shares for cash in a per-share amount equal to the aggregate amount held in the Trust Account, including interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $50,000 of such net interest that may be released to Azteca from the Trust Account to pay liquidation expenses, (2) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of Azteca's affairs, as further described herein and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Azteca's remaining stockholders and Azteca's board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Azteca's obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Azteca will pay the costs of its liquidation of the Trust Account from its remaining assets outside of the Trust Account. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover these costs and expenses, Azteca may request the trustee to release to Azteca an amount of up to $50,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

        This redemption of public stockholders from the Trust Account shall be done automatically by function of Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and prior to any voluntary winding up, although at all times subject to the DGCL. Azteca and its directors and officers have agreed not to propose any amendment to Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance and timing of Azteca's obligation to redeem Azteca's Public Shares if Azteca is unable to consummate Azteca's initial business combination by April 6, 2013.

        The redemption will trigger automatic distribution procedures and any subsequent necessary action by Azteca in the discretion of its directors, resulting in Azteca's voluntary liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Azteca would be dissolved once the certificate of dissolution is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

        There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to Azteca's warrants, which will expire worthless in the event Azteca does not consummate its initial business combination by April 6, 2013.

        If Azteca was to expend all of the net proceeds of the initial public offering, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon Azteca's dissolution would be $10.05. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of Azteca's creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of Azteca's public stockholders. The actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.05, plus interest (net of any taxes payable).

        Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of Azteca's Trust Account distributed to its public stockholders upon the redemption of Azteca's outstanding Public Shares in the event Azteca does not complete its initial business combination by April 6, 2013 may be considered a liquidation distribution under the DGCL. If the corporation complies with certain

76


Table of Contents

procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder's pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of Azteca's Trust Account distributed to Azteca's public stockholders upon the redemption of Azteca's Public Shares in the event Azteca does not complete its initial business combination by April 6, 2013 is not considered a liquidation distribution under the DGCL and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation distribution.

        Pursuant to Azteca's amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation Azteca is obligated to redeem its Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following April 6, 2013 but not more than five business days thereafter and, therefore, Azteca does not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, Azteca's stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Azteca's stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

        Because Azteca will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Azteca to adopt a plan, based on facts known to Azteca at such time that will provide for Azteca's payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against Azteca within the subsequent 10 years. However, because Azteca is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and its operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from Azteca's vendors or prospective target businesses.

        Although Azteca has and will continue to seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which Azteca does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of Azteca's public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against Azteca's assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, Azteca's management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to Azteca than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where Azteca may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Azteca and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, Mr. Brener, Azteca's Chairman, CEO and President, has agreed to indemnify Azteca if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Azteca, or a prospective target business with which Azteca has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.05 per share, except as

77


Table of Contents

to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Azteca's indemnity of the underwriter of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, Mr. Brener will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. Azteca has not independently verified whether Mr. Brener has sufficient funds to satisfy his indemnity obligations and, therefore, Mr. Brener may not be able to satisfy those obligations. However, Azteca currently believes Mr. Brener is of substantial means and capable of funding a shortfall in Azteca's Trust Account, even though Azteca has not asked him to reserve for such eventuality. Azteca believes the likelihood of Mr. Brener having to indemnify the Trust Account is limited because Azteca will endeavor to have all vendors and prospective target businesses as well as other entities execute agreements with Azteca waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

        In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below $10.05 per share and Mr. Brener asserts that he is unable to satisfy any applicable obligations or that he has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Azteca's independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against Mr. Brener to enforce his indemnification obligations. While Azteca currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on Azteca's behalf against Mr. Brener to enforce his indemnification obligations to it, it is possible that Azteca's independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, due to claims of creditors, the actual value of the per-share liquidation price may be less than $10.05 per share.

        Azteca will seek to reduce the possibility that Mr. Brener will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which Azteca does business execute agreements with Azteca waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Mr. Brener will also not be liable as to any claims under Azteca's indemnity of the underwriter of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Azteca will have access to the remaining $9,969 from the proceeds of the initial public offering not held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2012, and all of the interest income on the balance of the Trust Account (net of franchise and income taxes payable) with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with Azteca's liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $50,000). Based upon the current interest rate environment, Azteca does not anticipate a meaningful amount of interest to be earned that will be available to Azteca and Azteca estimates such amount will be approximately $70,000 in interest income over the 21 month term of the Trust Account; however; Azteca can provide no assurance as to this amount. If such funds are insufficient, Azteca's Sponsor has agreed to pay the funds necessary to complete such liquidation and has agreed not to seek repayment of such expenses.

        In the event that Azteca liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from Azteca's Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

        Azteca's public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only in the event of a redemption to public stockholders prior to any winding up in the event Azteca does not consummate its initial business combination or its liquidation or if they redeem their shares in connection with an initial business combination that Azteca consummates. In no other circumstances shall a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event Azteca seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Transaction, a stockholder's voting in connection with the Transaction alone will not result in a stockholder's redeeming its shares to Azteca for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above.

78


Table of Contents

        If Azteca is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against Azteca which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Azteca's bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Azteca's stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, Azteca may not be able to return to Azteca's public stockholders at least $10.05 per share.

        If Azteca is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against Azteca which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a "preferential transfer" or a "fraudulent conveyance." As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Azteca's stockholders. Furthermore, because Azteca intends to distribute the proceeds held in the Trust Account to Azteca's public stockholders promptly after April 6, 2013, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to Azteca's public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from Azteca's assets. Furthermore, Azteca's board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Azteca's creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Azteca to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Claims may be brought against Azteca for these reasons.

Employees

        Azteca currently has five executive officers. Members of Azteca's management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Azteca's matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to Azteca's affairs until Azteca has completed its initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for Azteca's initial business combination and the stage of the Transaction process Azteca is in, and regulatory matters. Azteca does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of its initial business combination.

Competition

        If Azteca succeeds in effecting the Transaction, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business in the entertainment industry. Azteca cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, Hemisphere will have the resources or ability to compete effectively.

Properties

        Azteca currently maintains its executive offices at 421 N. Beverly Drive, Suite 300, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The cost for this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee described below that Azteca's Sponsor charges Azteca for general and administrative services. Azteca believes, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Los Angeles metropolitan area that the fee charged by Azteca's Sponsor is at least as favorable as Azteca could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. Azteca considers its current office space adequate for Azteca's current operations.

Legal Proceedings

        There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against Azteca or any members of its management team in their capacity as such.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF AZTECA

OVERVIEW

        Azteca was initially formed in the British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on June 8, 2011, for the purpose of directly or indirectly effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets.

        Azteca presently has no revenue, has had losses since inception from incurring administrative costs of government compliance for a public company and costs related to seeking an acquisition target, has no operations other than the active solicitation of an acquisition target and has relied upon the sale of its securities in its initial public offering and in the private placement and loans from its sponsor to fund its operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Azteca's financial statements, together with the notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Azteca's cumulative net income since inception of approximately $6,013,000 is comprised of interest income of approximately $73,000 and a change in the fair value of the derivative liability related to Azteca's warrants in the aggregate amount of approximately $6,893,000, less expenses relating to the following: (i) payment of officer and director insurance in the amount of approximately $100,000, (ii) payment of Delaware franchise taxes in the aggregate amount of approximately $283,000, (iii) administrative service agreement costs paid to an affiliate of Azteca's sponsor in the aggregate amount of $190,000, (iv) due diligence and transaction related costs including travel reimbursement in the aggregate amount of approximately $167,000 and (v) other general and administrative costs in the aggregate amount of approximately $213,000.

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, Azteca had net income of approximately $1,172,000 comprised of interest income earned during the period of $71,000 and a change in the fair value of the derivative liability related to Azteca's warrants in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,760,000, less expenses related to the following: (i) Delaware state franchise taxes in the amount of $181,000, (ii) $120,000 of expense related to Azteca's administrative service agreement, (iii) $92,000 of costs related to due diligence and transaction related expenses including travel reimbursement, (iv) officer and director insurance expense in the amount of $67,000 and (v) other general and administrative costs of $199,000.

        For the year ended December 31, 2011, Azteca had net income of approximately $4,841,000 comprised of interest income earned during the period of $2,000 and a change in the fair value of the derivative liability related to Azteca's warrants in the aggregate amount of approximately $5,133,000, less expenses related to the following: (i) Delaware state franchise taxes in the amount of $102,000, (ii) $70,000 of expense related to Azteca's administrative service agreement, (iii) $75,000 of costs related to due diligence and transaction related expenses including travel reimbursement, and (v) other general and administrative costs of $48,000.

        Azteca has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. All activity through December 31, 2012 related to Azteca's formation, Azteca's private placements and offering, the identification and evaluation of prospective candidates for an initial business combination, negotiation and execution of the Transaction, and general corporate matters. Since the completion of Azteca's offering, Azteca has not generated any operating revenues and will not until after completion of Azteca's initial business combination, at the earliest. As of December 31, 2012, Azteca had generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents of approximately $73,000. Azteca has incurred increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal,

financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. As of December 31, 2012, approximately $100,572,000 was held in the trust account and Azteca had cash outside of trust of approximately $10,000, and approximately $219,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Interest income on the balance of the trust accounts may be available to Azteca to fund Azteca's working capital requirements. Through December 31, 2012, Azteca had not withdrawn any funds from interest earned on the trust proceeds. Other than the deferred underwriting fees and certain consulting fees, no amounts are payable to the underwriters of Azteca's initial public offering in the event of a business combination.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        Azteca has identified the following as its significant accounting policies.

        Azteca considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

        Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with ASB ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share". Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in the money warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Azteca uses the treasury stock method to calculate potentially dilutive shares, as if they were converted into common stock at the beginning of the period. At December 31, 2012, Azteca had outstanding warrants to purchase 14,666,667 shares of common stock. For all periods presented, the weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, dilutive loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Azteca accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the its initial public offering and private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-45-7D. Azteca's warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, Azteca classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in Azteca's statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by Azteca in connection with private placements of securities has been estimated using the warrants quoted market price.

        Azteca Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on Azteca's financial statements.

81


Table of Contents

        The amounts held in the trust account represent substantially all of the proceeds from the Public Offering and the simultaneous private placement and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts can only be used by Azteca in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The funds held in the trust account are primarily invested in United States Treasury securities.

        Investment securities consist of United States Treasury securities. Azteca classifies its securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 "Investments—Debt and Equity Securities." Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which Azteca has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

        A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities' fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, Azteca considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.

        Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the "interest income" line item in the statements of operations. Some treasury securities were purchased at a small discount during the period from the closing of the Public Offering through December 31, 2012, resulting in a non-material accretion of interest income. Interest income is recognized when earned.

        All of the 10,000,000 common shares sold as part of the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of common shares under Azteca's liquidation or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of Azteca require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although Azteca does not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that in no event will they redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders' equity) to be less than $5,000,001. Furthermore, the redemption threshold with respect to the Transaction will be further limited by a closing condition in the Merger Agreement that requires Azteca to have at least $80 million of cash at the closing of the Transaction after giving effect to any redemptions by Azteca's stockholders, but before giving effect to cash payable pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, payment of deferred underwriting fees payable to Azteca's underwriter in connection with its initial public offering and consulting fees due to certain of Azteca's consultants and advisors, transaction expenses and any cash contribution from WAPA or Cinelatino.

        Azteca recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock shall be affected by charges against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99. Accordingly, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 8,707,126 and 8,590,461 public shares, respectively, are classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value.

82


Table of Contents

The redemption value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable (approximately $10.05 at December 31, 2012 and 2011).

        Azteca complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 740, "Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

        There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Azteca recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2012. Azteca is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The adoption of the provisions of ASC 740 did not have a material impact on Azteca's financial position.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

        Azteca has never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has never established any special purpose entities. Azteca has not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

        Azteca does not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than a monthly fee of $10,000 payable to Galco, Inc., an affiliate of Azteca's Sponsor, for office space, secretarial and administrative services. Azteca began incurring these fees on June 30, 2011 (the date Azteca's securities were first quoted on the OTCBB) and will terminate upon the consummation of the Transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        On July 6, 2011, Azteca consummated its offering of 10,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Simultaneously with the consummation of its offering, Azteca consummated the private sale of 4,666,667 Sponsor Warrants to Azteca's Sponsor for $3.5 million. Azteca received net proceeds from its offering and the sale of the Sponsor Warrants of approximately $101,218,000, net of the non-deferred portion of the underwriting commissions of $1.75 million and offering costs and other expenses of approximately $532,000. Upon the closing of the offering and the private placement, $100.5 million was placed into a trust account. As of December 31, 2012, investment securities in Azteca's trust account consisted of approximately $100,441,000 in U.S. government Treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. The trust account also had approximately $132,000 in cash as of December 31, 2012. Out of the proceeds of its offering which remained available outside of the trust account, Azteca obtained officers and directors insurance covering an 18 month period from June 27, 2011 through December 31, 2012 for a cost of $100,192.

Table of Contents

        As of December 31, 2012, Azteca had a cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately $10,000, held outside of its trust account, which is available for use by Azteca to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating a business combination and other general corporate uses.

        As of December 31, 2011, Azteca had a cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately $506,000, held outside of its trust account, which was available for use by Azteca to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating a business combination and other general corporate uses.

        For the period from April 15, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012, Azteca used cash of approximately $661,000 in operating activities, which was largely attributable to a net operating loss for the period of approximately $880,000, offset by amounts payable for Delaware franchise taxes and other payables.

        Azteca intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes and amounts released to Azteca for working capital purposes) to consummate its initial business combination. To the extent that Azteca's capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to consummate its initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategy.

        As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately $10,000 held outside of its Trust Account, and approximately $132,000 of cash held in its Trust Account, including approximately $72,000 of interest available for working capital and taxes, which the Company expected to use for working capital purposes, including the due diligence investigation of a target business or business and general administrative expenses. However, if its estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and consummating an initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or if interests payments are not available to fund the expenses at the time the Company incurs them, it may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which is currently unascertainable. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate an initial business combination or because it becomes obligated to convert into cash a significant number of Public Shares voting against an initial business combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Following the Company's initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, it may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations. The Company has not taken any steps to obtain such financing and there is no assurance it would be able to obtain such financing.

        As of December 31, 2012, the Company had not withdrawn any of the interest earned on the funds held in the trust account. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's trust agreement governing the trust account, the Company is entitled to use all the earnings for working capital, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all such distributions for working capital and income tax payments shall not exceed the total earnings. On January 24, 2013, pursuant to the terms of this trust agreement, the Company withdrew $75,000 for working capital purposes. The Company's liabilities are all related to costs associated with operating as a public company and search for an acquisition target.

        Azteca believes that it has sufficient funds available to complete its efforts to effect an initial business combination by April 6, 2013. To meet Azteca's working capital needs, its Sponsor, an affiliate of its Sponsor, or Azteca's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan it funds, from time to time, or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in its, his or her sole discretion, which may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $0.75 per warrant at the option of the lender, up to a limit of $500,000. The warrants would be identical to the Sponsor warrants. On February 1, 2013, Azteca's Sponsor loaned Azteca $250,000 pursuant to an

84


Table of Contents

unsecured promissory note that is non-interest bearing and will be payable by Azteca or Hemisphere at or prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

        Azteca does not believe it will need to raise additional funds until the consummation of its initial business combination to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, Azteca may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate an initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, Azteca would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of its initial business combination.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        Azteca is a Delaware blank check company initially formed in the British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011 and reincorporated in the state of Delaware on June 8, 2011 for the purpose of effecting a business combination. Azteca is considered in the development stage at December 31, 2012 and had not yet commenced any operations or generated any revenues. All activity through December 31, 2012 relates to Azteca's formation, its public offering, the identification and evaluation of prospective candidates for an initial business combination, and general corporate matters. The net proceeds of the public offering and the private placement in July 2011 were placed into a Trust Account and invested in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, Azteca believes there is no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

INFORMATION ABOUT WAPA

        InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC ("WAPA") consists of the leading broadcast television network and television content producer in Puerto Rico, and a unique Spanish-language cable network serving Hispanics in the United States. WAPA also operates a sports television network and a news and entertainment website in Puerto Rico. WAPA consists of the following:

        In 2007, InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. (the "WAPA Member") acquired a 100% economic interest in WAPA from LIN Television Corporation. WAPA owns 100% of the holding company that owns 100% of each of WAPA PR and WAPA America.

        Since the WAPA Member's acquisition of WAPA, management has implemented a number of significant initiatives to improve performance at WAPA. These initiatives have had a significant positive impact on television ratings, revenues and EBITDA, and have diversified WAPA's revenue streams to include significant retransmission and subscriber fees. Such strategic and operational initiatives include:

        WAPA has also retained the most experienced management team in broadcast television in Puerto Rico. The executive team at WAPA has an average of more than 25 years of experience in the television industry and more than 15 years of experience at WAPA specifically.

90


Table of Contents

        WAPA intends to leverage its leadership position through the following initiatives:

        As discussed more fully below, WAPA has two primary sources of revenue: advertising and retransmission/subscription fees. For the years ended 2012, 2011 and 2010, WAPA generated approximately 84%, 87% and 87%, respectively, from advertising fees. For the years ended 2012, 2011 and 2010, WAPA generated approximately 16%, 13% and 13%, respectively, from retransmission/subscription fees.

WAPA PR

        Headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, WAPA PR is a full-power independent broadcast television network. WAPA PR was founded in 1954 as the second broadcast television network in the Caribbean and the third in Latin America. WAPA PR occupies a prime channel position (channel 4), and together with its full-power repeater stations, WTIN in Ponce and WNJX in Mayagüez, reaches the entire island with the strongest television signal in Puerto Rico. WAPA PR reaches more television households than any of its competitors in Puerto Rico. According to Mediafax (2009) and Nielsen (2010-2012), WAPA PR has been the #1-rated network in Puerto Rico for four consecutive years, with an average household primetime rating of 18.5 and audience share of 32% in the year ended December 31, 2012. WAPA PR produces nearly 30 hours each week of popular talk, variety, comedy and reality shows, nearly all of which is produced in WAPA PR's state of the art studios, in addition to approximately 39 hours of weekly local news coverage. WAPA PR also licenses and televises blockbuster Hollywood movies and top-rated U.S. television series dubbed into Spanish. This diverse and unique mix of programming has made WAPA PR the market leader in Puerto Rico.

        WAPA PR has two primary sources of revenue: advertising and retransmission fees. Advertising revenue is generated from the sale of advertising time. The advertising sales success is demonstrated by large and diversified portfolio of advertising partners, including many Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industries. No single advertiser represents more than 5% of WAPA's gross advertising revenue. WAPA PR's advertising revenue tends to reflect seasonal patterns of its advertisers' demand, which is generally greatest during the 4th quarter of each year, driven by the holiday buying season. Puerto Rico's political election cycle is every four years and so WAPA benefits from increased advertising sales every four years, including 2012.

91


Table of Contents

        WAPA PR also benefits from retransmission fees received from cable, satellite and telecommunications operators for the right to distribute the channel pursuant to multi-year agreements that provide for monthly subscriber fees.

        With a population of approximately 3.7 million and 1.4 million television households, Puerto Rico is equivalent to a Top 20 U.S. television market and the second-largest Hispanic television market in the U.S., behind only Los Angeles. Puerto Rico's broadcast television market is uniquely attractive. Puerto Rico's top three broadcast networks (WAPA PR, Univision and Telemundo) collectively garner approximately 70% of all television household viewership, and WAPA PR is the clear leader. WAPA PR is the leader in primetime ratings and has grown its household ratings and its audience share each of the last three years.

        The collective 70% share of all television viewership held by the top three broadcast networks in Puerto Rico distinguishes the Puerto Rico television market from the U.S., where the four major national broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) have a collective primetime audience share of approximately 39%. In fact, WAPA PR's ratings are more than three times higher than the most highly-rated broadcast network in the U.S.

WAPA's Ratings Significantly Outpace U.S. Television Networks in Primetime Ratings

Full-Year 2012, Total Household Rating

GRAPHIC


Note:    U.S. Television ratings based on 11/12 Season; Primetime defined as M-F 6:00-11:00PM for Puerto Rico, and M-F 8:00-11:00PM for U.S.

        Broadcast television audience share in Puerto Rico has remained stable at these levels for many years and shows no sign of viewership erosion to cable networks, as has been experienced in the U.S. The strength of the broadcast networks in Puerto Rico is driven primarily by appealing Spanish-language programming offered by the three major networks. Combined cable and satellite penetration in Puerto Rico has remained at or below 52%, significantly lower than penetration levels in the U.S. Cable and satellite penetration is low in Puerto Rico largely as a result of language preferences and socioeconomic differences. The vast majority of Puerto Ricans does not speak English or speak it with difficulty, and the majority of channels available on cable and satellite are U.S.-originated television networks programmed in English. Additionally, many Puerto Ricans subscribing to cable or satellite do so primarily to receive a higher quality broadcast signal in mountainous and other areas where the quality of the over-the-air reception is inferior. The low levels of cable and satellite penetration make Puerto Rico a particularly attractive market for television broadcasters.

produces all scenery and props for the local productions. WAPA also boasts the most technologically advanced news department in Puerto Rico. WAPA recently upgraded its master control to accommodate WAPA PR, WAPA America and WAPA 2 Deportes and installed a digital delivery system to streamline programming and promotions. WAPA is also in the process of upgrading WAPA PR's signal to full HD. This upgrade is expected to be completed in 2013.

        WAPA PR is Puerto Rico's news leader and the largest local producer of entertainment programming, producing over 65 hours in the aggregate each week. WAPA PR is programmed with a combination of local news, locally-produced talk, variety, comedy and reality shows, blockbuster movies and hit television series from the U.S. dubbed into Spanish.

        WAPA PR produces more news programming than any other television network in Puerto Rico. In fact, with its competitors having reduced their news coverage, WAPA PR's 39 hours of local news each week significantly exceeds news hours produced by Univision and Telemundo. WAPA PR is the #1 rated morning, midday and late night news network.

        WAPA PR has continued to invest in its news programming and technology. The news department is WAPA's largest department with 90 employees, and operates the most sophisticated news operation in Puerto Rico, with the only automated production studio, its own Doppler radar system, and the most modern graphics and weather technology.

        WAPA PR produces nearly 30 hours each week of popular talk, variety, comedy and reality shows, nearly all of which is produced in WAPA PR's state of the art studios. Top-rated local shows include Entre Nosotras (the #1-rated local talk show), Pégate al Mediodía (the #1-rated midday program) and Risas En Combo (the #1-rated local primetime show).

        In 2011 and 2012, WAPA PR produced Idol Puerto Rico in partnership with Fremantle Entertainment, the producer of the #1 U.S. television show, American Idol. The season 2 finale reached a staggering 78% audience share among adult women, and the debut album by Christian Pagan, the winner of Idol Puerto Rico's first season, launched at #1 on the Billboard U.S. Latin charts. In 2012, WAPA PR also produced Idol Kids, a spinoff of Idol Puerto Rico, in partnership with Fremantle Entertainment, the first of its kind by Fremantle.

Movie previews and interviews with today's most popular Hollywood stars

        WAPA PR is the primary network for Hollywood blockbuster movies and the highest-rated U.S. television series dubbed into Spanish. As the only significant buyer of Hollywood blockbuster movies and U.S. television series in Puerto Rico, WAPA PR is able to selectively license movies and successful series from all U.S. distributors and typically, in the case of television series, has the opportunity to review initial ratings results from the U.S. before financially committing to the series. Movies and series have proven to be compelling counter-programming to telenovelas aired on WAPA PR's competitors.

        WAPA PR completed the transition from analog to digital broadcast transmission in 2009 making bandwidth within its signal available to launch a second channel in Puerto Rico. WAPA identified a need for a local sports television network and in 2010 launched WAPA 2 Deportes a digital multicast channel broadcast by WAPA-TV. This network is distributed throughout Puerto Rico through WAPA PR's over-the-air signal and is carried by all cable, satellite and telecommunications distributors in Puerto Rico. WAPA 2 Deportes broadcasts various local and U.S. sports programming, including Major League Baseball, with exclusive television rights to the World Series and the All-Star Game, and Puerto Rico's men's professional basketball league, Baloncesto Superior Nacional. In a short period of time, WAPA 2 Deportes has become the leading local sports network in Puerto Rico and, on many nights, the station out-rates all U.S.-based networks, including ESPN, TNT and TBS.

        Launched in 2008, WAPA's website, WAPA.TV has quickly grown into one of the largest digital multimedia platforms in Puerto Rico. WAPA.TV is the #1-rated television network website in Puerto Rico and is ranked #5 among Puerto Rico-originated sites. WAPA.TV has 2.5 million monthly visits, over 13 million monthly page views and over 840,000 monthly unique visitors. WAPA.TV provides up-to-the-minute news and weather, promotional clips of WAPA's most popular shows, additional video content not seen on WAPA PR, and a platform for viewers to share comments and interact, driving further audience engagement. In addition, WAPA has over 1.6 million Facebook and Twitter fans combined. WAPA.TV's mobile web version, WAPA Movil, has over 900,000 monthly visits, over 2 million monthly page views, and over 300,000 monthly unique visitors.

WAPA AMERICA

        WAPA America, launched in 2004, is a Spanish-language cable television network targeting Puerto Ricans and Caribbean Hispanics in the U.S. WAPA America is distributed by all major U.S. cable, satellite and telecommunication operators to more than 5 million subscribers. WAPA America is primarily distributed on Hispanic programming packages, and in select major markets, such as Orlando, Tampa and Miami, WAPA America is distributed on the digital basic package.

        WAPA America benefits from dual revenue streams, subscriber fees and advertising revenue. Subscriber fees are received from cable, satellite and telecommunications operators for the right to distribute the channel pursuant to multi-year agreements that provide for monthly subscriber fees. Advertising is generated from the sale of advertising time. WAPA America sources most of its programming from WAPA PR and has low operating costs.

        The large and growing U.S. Hispanic population represents the largest minority group in the U.S. and 16% of the total U.S. population. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, 50 million Hispanics resided in the United States, which represents an increase of 15 million people or 43% between 2000 and 2010. U.S. Hispanics also represent the second largest Hispanic economy in the world after Mexico. More than half of the growth in the total U.S. population between 2000 and 2010 was attributable to the increase in the Hispanic population. The Hispanic population is expected to grow to 64 million by 2020, an increase of 26%.

        WAPA America believes it is also well-positioned to benefit from the forecasted growth in Hispanic cable television network advertising. The growth in U.S. Hispanic cable network advertising has significantly outpaced overall U.S. cable advertising growth. U.S. Hispanic cable network advertising revenue grew at an 18% CAGR from 2006 to 2011, more than doubling from $119 million to $275 million. Going forward, advertising on U.S. Hispanic cable networks is expected to grow to $398 million in 2014, representing a CAGR of 13%. WAPA America is distributed by all major pay-TV distributors nationwide, and WAPA America believes it occupies a valuable and unique position as one of only a few Hispanic cable networks to have achieved such broad carriage. As a result, WAPA America believes it is well-positioned to capture a share of the growing national advertising spend targeted at the highly sought-after U.S. Hispanic cable television audience.

        WAPA America televises over 60 hours per week of the top-rated news and entertainment programming produced by WAPA PR. WAPA America supplements its programming with acquired telenovelas, popular sports programming from Puerto Rico and other programming from WAPA PR's library.

        WAPA America is distributed throughout the U.S. by all major cable, satellite and telecommunications operators pursuant to multi-year agreements that provide for monthly subscriber fees. With 5 million subscribers, WAPA America is one of the most widely distributed Hispanic cable networks in the U.S. WAPA America is generally offered on the Hispanic programming package and WAPA America is more broadly available on the digital basic package in Orlando, Tampa and Miami. Hispanic programming packages distributed in the U.S. generally consist of 20 or more channels, such as Cinelatino, CNN en Español, Discovery en Español, History en Español, ESPN Deportes and Fox Deportes.

        U.S. Hispanic television households grew from 11.6 million households in 2006 to 14.1 million households in 2012, an increase of over 21%, dramatically outpacing overall U.S. television household growth of only 3%. Hispanic television households are projected to grow 9% from 2012 to 2014, equating to 1.3 million new Hispanic television households. Strong growth in Hispanic television households in the U.S. is expected to continue, driven by the forecasted significant growth in the U.S. Hispanic population to 64 million by 2020. The continuing rapid growth of Hispanic television households creates a significant opportunity to reach an attractive audience at a time when overall television household growth in the U.S. is more modest.

        Hispanic pay-TV subscribers are expected to grow significantly, driven not only by the rapid growth in the Hispanic population and Hispanic television households, but also by increased penetration of pay-TV among Hispanics. Hispanic pay-TV subscribers increased 35% from 2006 to 2012, growing from 8.8 to 11.9 million subscribers, five times the 7% increase in overall U.S. subscribers during the same period. This 35% growth also significantly over-indexes the 21% Hispanic television household growth during the same period.

        Subscribers to Hispanic programming packages in the U.S. increased by approximately 60%, from 2.6 million to 4.2 million subscribers from 2006 to 2012. Hispanic programming package subscribers represented 30% of Hispanic pay-TV households in 2006 and 35% in 2012. In an effort to capitalize on the strong growth of the U.S. Hispanic population, pay-TV distributors have been more aggressively marketing Hispanic programming packages.

        WAPA America expects to benefit from significant growth in subscribers, as the U.S. Hispanic population continues to grow rapidly coupled with related growth in Hispanic pay-TV subscribers and Hispanic package subscribers.

SOURCES OF COMPETITION

        WAPA PR competes with broadcast television networks and cable television networks in Puerto Rico for audience viewership, advertising sales, and programming. WAPA PR's main competitors are Univision and Telemundo, which rely on their U.S. parents for programming, which consists primarily of telenovelas produced in Mexico, the U.S. and Latin America. There are a few other local broadcasters, but they tend not to be competitive due to weak programming and/or poor signal quality. WAPA PR reaches more television households in Puerto Rico than any of its competitors. In addition, while all major English-language U.S. broadcast networks have local affiliates, they are, for the most part, low power stations with nominal ratings. Only approximately 52% of the television households in Puerto Rico subscribe to pay-TV and cable channels are generally not competitive as they tend to be U.S.-based, English-language channels with little relevance to the Puerto Rico Spanish speaking market. WAPA PR has effectively customized its programming for the viewing preferences of the Puerto Rican market with more local entertainment and news programming than its competitors, as well as blockbuster Hollywood movies and hit U.S. television series. As a result, WAPA PR has been the ratings leader for the past four years and during this period has dramatically widened its leadership position.

        WAPA America broadly competes for distribution and for viewership with broadcast and cable television networks in the U.S. More specifically, WAPA America competes for distribution and for viewership with other broadcast and cable television networks targeting Hispanics in the United States. WAPA America does not have any significant competition in the U.S. that targets Puerto Ricans, the second largest U.S. Hispanic population.

        WAPA 2 Deportes competes for viewership, advertising sales and programming with other channels offering similar sports programming in Puerto Rico. Competitors include U.S.-based cable networks including ESPN, TNT, and TBS, and certain satellite distributors who have acquired sports media rights for their owned channels.

        WAPA.TV competes with other news, weather and entertainment websites for the distribution of its content, development and acquisition of content, audience viewership and advertising sales. To an extent, WAPA.TV also competes with U.S. search engines and social networks such as Google, Facebook and Yahoo, for website traffic. WAPA.TV currently ranks as the #5 local website in Puerto Rico.

        With respect to the sale of advertising, WAPA also competes for advertising revenue with other forms of media, including newspapers, billboards, radio, internet and other digital media.

        Certain technological advances, including the increased deployment of fiber optic cable, are expected to allow cable and telecommunication video service providers to continue to expand both their channel and broadband distribution capacities and to increase transmission speeds. In addition, the ability to deliver content via new methods and devices is expected to increase substantially. The impact of such added capacities is hard to predict, but the development of new channels of content distribution could lead to increased competition for viewers by facilitating the emergence of additional channels and mobile and internet platforms through which viewers could view programming that is similar to that offered by WAPA PR and WAPA America.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF WAPA

        The following discussion and analysis summarizes WAPA's financial condition and operating performance and should be read in conjunction with its historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        Significant components of management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition include:

OVERVIEW

        WAPA consists of the leading broadcast television network (WAPA PR) and content producer in Puerto Rico and a unique Spanish-language cable television network (WAPA America) serving Hispanics in the United States. WAPA also operates a sports television network (WAPA 2 Deportes) and a news and entertainment website (WAPA.TV) in Puerto Rico.

        The two predominant sources of revenue for WAPA are advertising revenues and retransmission/subscription fees. WAPA PR primarily derives its revenue from advertising. WAPA America primarily derives its revenue from subscription fees. Advertising revenue is generated from the sale of advertising time on WAPA PR, WAPA 2 Deportes, WAPA America and on WAPA.TV. WAPA's advertising revenue tends to reflect seasonal patterns of its advertisers' demand, which is generally greatest during the 4th quarter of each year, driven by the holiday buying season. Puerto Rico's political election cycle is every four years and so WAPA benefits from increased advertising sales every four years, including 2012.

        WAPA PR is the #1-rated broadcast television network in Puerto Rico for the last four years, with an 18.5 household rating and a 32% audience share in primetime in 2012. WAPA PR is Puerto Rico's news leader and the largest local producer of entertainment programming, producing over 65 hours in the aggregate each week in its state-of-the art production facility in Puerto Rico. WAPA PR continuously reviews the quality of its programming to ensure it can generate the highest ratings as estimated by Nielsen. The continued growth of WAPA PR's advertising revenue will, to a certain extent, be dependent on the growth of WAPA PR's audience viewing as well as the general health of the advertising marketplace.

        WAPA America occupies a valuable and unique position as one of only a few Hispanic cable networks to have achieved broad distribution in the U.S. As a result, management believes WAPA America is well-positioned to capture a share of the growing national advertising spend targeted at the highly sought-after U.S. Hispanic cable television audience. Hispanics represent over 16% of the total U.S. population and approximately 9% of the total U.S. discretionary consumption, but only 5% of the aggregate media spend targets U.S. Hispanics. As a result of the under-indexing of the media spend targeting U.S. Hispanics, advertisers have been and are expected to continue to increase the portion of their marketing dollars targeted towards U.S. Hispanics. U.S. Hispanic cable network advertising revenue grew at an 18% CAGR from 2006 to 2011, significantly outpacing overall U.S. cable advertising which grew at 6%. Going forward, advertising on U.S. Hispanic cable networks is expected

100


Table of Contents

to grow to $398 million in 2014, representing a CAGR of 13%, presenting a significant and growing opportunity for WAPA America.

        WAPA also benefits from retransmission and subscriber revenue earned by WAPA PR and WAPA America, respectively, which are fees received from cable, satellite and telecommunications operators, for the right to distribute WAPA PR and WAPA America, pursuant to multi-year agreements that provide for monthly subscriber fees.

        WAPA PR is distributed by all pay-TV distributors in Puerto Rico and has been successfully growing retransmission fees at a very robust rate. As the #1-rated broadcast television network in Puerto Rico and having grown its ratings and audience share each of the last three years, management believes WAPA PR is highly valued by its viewers and distributors. In fact, WAPA PR's ratings are so strong that its primetime household rating is nearly equal to the aggregate ratings of the four major national broadcast networks in the U.S. (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox). The four major U.S. networks have experienced significant growth in retransmission fees received by U.S. distributors. Accordingly, management believes WAPA PR is well positioned for future growth in retransmission fees.

        WAPA America is distributed by all major pay-TV distributors in the U.S. and has been successfully growing subscriber fees at a robust rate. Management expects WAPA America to benefit from significant growth in subscribers, as the U.S. Hispanic population continues to grow rapidly. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, 50 million Hispanics resided in the United States, which represents an increase of 15 million people, or 43%, between 2000 and 2010, and is expected to grow to 64 million by 2020. Similarly, Hispanic television households are projected to grow from 14.1 million in 2012 to 15.4 million in 2014, an increase of 9% or 1.3 million new Hispanic television households. In an effort to capitalize on the strong growth of the U.S. Hispanic population and Hispanic television households, pay-TV distributors have been more aggressively marketing Hispanic programming packages. Accordingly, management believes WAPA America is well positioned to benefit from growth in subscribers.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        Management discussion and analysis of WAPA's financial condition and results of operations is based upon the amounts reported in WAPA's consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

        The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those reported amounts. The significant accounting policies, outlined in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, are integral to an understanding of WAPA's management's discussion and analysis.

        On an on-going basis, WAPA evaluates its estimates, including those used for allowance for doubtful accounts in receivables, amortization and impairment of program rights and intangible assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, and income taxes. WAPA bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

101


Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable consist of short-term receivables that arise in the normal course of business. WAPA performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Past due receivables do not accrue interest.

        Accounts receivable are carried at the original charge amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon prior experience and its assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. Uncollectible accounts receivable are written off when management determines that all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Accounts that have previously been written off and subsequently recovered are recorded when received. Bad debt (recoveries) expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to ($10,000), $202,000 and $44,000, respectively.

Programming Rights

        WAPA enters into multi-year license agreements with various programming distributors for distribution of their respective programming ("programming rights") and capitalizes amounts paid to secure or extend these programming rights at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. If management estimates that the unamortized cost of its programming rights exceeds their estimated net realizable value, WAPA will write down its programming rights. No such write down was deemed necessary during 2012, 2011 or 2010. WAPA amortizes these programming rights over the term of the related license agreements. The amortization of these rights is recorded as part of cost of revenues in the accompanying statements of income. Costs incurred in connection with the purchase of programs to be broadcast within one year are classified as current assets, while costs of those programs to be broadcast subsequently are considered noncurrent. Program obligations are classified as current or non-current in accordance with the payment terms of the license agreement.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

        WAPA's goodwill was recorded as a result of WAPA's business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Indefinite lived intangible assets include broadcast licenses, and a trademark. Other intangible assets include customer relationships with an estimated useful life of ten years. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the asset.

        WAPA tests its broadcast license annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of these assets with their carrying amounts using a discounted cash flow valuation method, assuming a hypothetical start-up scenario.

        WAPA tests its goodwill annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of WAPA with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of WAPA is determined through the use of a discounted cash flow analysis incorporating variables such as revenue projections, projected operating cash flow margins, and discount rates. The variables used in the analysis reflect historical market growth trends.

        The valuation assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model reflect historical performance of WAPA and prevailing values in the markets for broadcasting properties. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

102


Table of Contents

        WAPA tests its other indefinite lived intangible assets annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value.

Income Taxes

        WAPA considers future taxable income and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for establishing or removing a valuation allowance. WAPA records or subsequently removes a valuation allowance to reflect its deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event that WAPA's determination changes regarding the realization of all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is recorded to WAPA's consolidated statement of operations in the period in which such a determination is made.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2011, there were revisions to the accounting standard for reporting comprehensive income, which requires the presentation of the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. WAPA elected to present this information in a separate statement following the consolidated statement of income. The revisions are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. WAPA adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and the adoption did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, but early adoption is permitted. WAPA does not expect that this guidance will have a material effect on WAPA's consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

        In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that aligns the guidance on fair value measurements in the impairment test of unamortized film costs with the guidance on fair value measurements in other instances within U.S. GAAP. For SEC filers, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15,2012. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2013. WAPA adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2012, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Net Revenues

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, net revenues increased $10.6 million, or 17%, as compared to the same period in 2011, due to an increase in net advertising revenue at WAPA PR due primarily to political advertising, an increase in advertising revenue at WAPA America as a result of having grown its distribution, and an increase in retransmission and subscriber fees at WAPA PR and WAPA America.

Operating Expenses

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, operating expenses increased $5.1 million, or 11%, as compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of changes in the following areas:

        Cost of Revenues:    Cost of revenues consists primarily of programming and production costs, programming amortization and distribution costs. Cost of revenues increased $3.4 million, or 12%, due primarily to the launch of a new reality television program, coverage of the political elections, the acquisition of sports media rights, and an increase in programming amortization.

        Selling, General and Administrative:    Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of promotion and research, corporate employee costs, and other general administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 5%, due in part to increases in insurance, payroll taxes and utility expenses.

        Depreciation and Amortization:    Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangibles. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.3 million, or 9%, due primarily to an increase in capital expenditures related to WAPA PR's upgrade of its production facilities to high definition in 2012.

Net Income

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, net income increased $3.4 million, or 45%, as compared to the same period in 2011.

Operating Expenses

        For the year ended December 31, 2011, operating expenses increased $4.6 million, or 11%, as compared to the same period in 2010, as a result of changes in the following areas:

        Cost of Revenues:    Cost of revenues increased $3.5 million, or 14%, due primarily to the production of a reality television program, which was produced for the first time in 2011.

        Selling, General and Administrative:    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 10%, due primarily to increases in the management services fee charged by the WAPA Member to WAPA, the cost of television ratings measurement services, insurance, payroll taxes and utilities.

        Depreciation and Amortization:    Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.3 million, or 10%, due primarily to the full year impact of an increase in capital expenditures related to the build out of WAPA America's technical operations at WAPA PR's production facility in Puerto Rico during the second half of 2010.

        Loss (Gain) on Disposition of Assets:    Gain on disposition of assets increased $0.4 million as a result of a gain on sales of equipment in 2011 compared with a write-off of assets in 2010.

Operating Income

        Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2011, increased $1.6 million, or 11%, as compared to the same period in 2010.

Other Expenses

        Other expenses increased $2.1 million, or 117%, due primarily to an increase in interest expense due to a higher average term loan balance as a result of the refinancing completed in March 2011.

Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $4.0 million, as compared to an income tax benefit of $19.0 million in 2010, due primarily to the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance in 2010.

Net Income

        Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011, decreased $23.4 million, or 75%, as compared to the same period in 2010, due to higher operating income offset by higher income tax expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Uses of Cash

        WAPA's principal sources of cash are cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2012, WAPA had $10.1 million of cash on hand and $10.0 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility as compared to $10.2 million of cash on hand and $10.0 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2011.

        WAPA's primary uses of cash include the production and acquisition of programming, operational costs, personnel costs, interest payments on its outstanding debt and income tax payments.

        Management believes cash on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under the credit facility will be sufficient to meet its current contractual financial obligations and to fund anticipated

Operating Activities

        Cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by WAPA's net income, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in working capital. Non-cash items consist primarily of depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangibles, programming amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, deferred taxes and provision for bad debts.

        Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $16.5 million, an increase of $2.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2011, due primarily to a $3.4 million increase in net income and a $0.6 million increase in non-cash items, offset partly by a $1.2 million increase in net working capital. Non-cash items increased primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in programming amortization, a $0.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization, and a $0.2 million increase in amortization of deferred financing fees, offset by a $1.1 million decrease in deferred taxes and a $0.2 million decrease in the provision for bad debts.

Investing Activities

Financing Activities

        Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $6.5 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2010, due to a decrease in repayments of the term loan and line of credit of $7.7 million, offset in part by a distribution to shareholders in March 2011 of $24.0 million funded in large part by proceeds from the new term loan of $19.2 million.

Discussion of Indebtedness

        On March 31, 2011, WAPA entered into a loan agreement with various financial institutions, of which The Bank of Nova Scotia and RBC Capital Markets acted as joint lead arrangers, that included a $66,000,000 term loan and a $10,000,000 revolving credit line with a maturity of March 31, 2016 (the "WAPA Loan Agreement"). The proceeds from the term loan were used to repay an existing term loan, to finance a distribution to the WAPA Member, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the financing.

        The loan bears interest at London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate plus an applicable LIBOR rate margin, or at a base rate plus an applicable based rate margin (3.80% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012). The applicable margins may be amended from time to time based upon the consolidated leverage ratio for the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter. The term loan is payable on quarterly due dates commencing July 15, 2011 and a final installment on March 31, 2016.

        In 2012, WAPA made principal payments of $7.4 million.

        On April 13, 2011, WAPA entered into a two year interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $33,000,000 to receive interest at a variable rate equal to three (3) months LIBOR and to pay interest at fixed rate of 1.143%. The interest swap agreement expires on April 15, 2013.

        The WAPA Loan Agreement contains certain covenants that limit the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other payments, make loans and investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, and consolidate, merge or sell assets.

        WAPA may pay cash dividends and distributions (other than management or similar fees) to their equityholders, so long as (i) no default under the WAPA Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) the consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the WAPA Credit Agreement and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to all such dividends or distributions) is less than 3.25 to 1.00, (iii) the administrative agent shall have received all financial statements and other information then required to be delivered for the most recently ended fiscal year and fiscal quarter, and (iv) the amount does not exceed (a) excess cash flow for the preceding fiscal year minus (b) the amount of the prepayment required to be made in respect of such excess cash flow, provided that the amount then available to be drawn under the revolving credit loans, together with free cash on hand of the credit parties, shall be at least equal to $5,000,000.

        In connection with the Transaction, no amendment is necessary with respect to the WAPA Loan Agreement. As of December 31, 2012, WAPA was in compliance with the financial covenants of the WAPA Loan Agreement. The WAPA Loan Agreement will remain outstanding after the consummation of the Transaction.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

        WAPA does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        WAPA is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates primarily through its term loan, on which pays a variable-rate of interest. As of December 31, 2012 total outstanding balance on the term loan was of $57.0 million and the revolving credit facility of $10 million was fully undrawn. In the event of an increase in the interest rate of 100 basis points, assuming a principal of $57.0 million and no offset from the interest rate swap, WAPA would incur an increase in interest expense of $0.6 million per year. Such potential increases or decreases are based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level of debt, no interest rate swap or hedge in place, and an immediate, across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for one year. WAPA's risk management policy is to use derivative financial instruments, as appropriate, to manage the interest expense related to the debt with variable interest rates.

INFORMATION ABOUT CINELATINO

        Cinelatino is the leading Spanish-language cable movie network with approximately 12 million subscribers across the U.S., Latin America and Canada. Cinelatino is programmed with a lineup featuring what it believes to be the best contemporary films and original television series from Mexico, Latin America, the U.S. and Spain. Cinelatino is the only Spanish-language movie network focused on premium, contemporary films. Driven by the strength of its programming and distribution, Cinelatino is the #2-Nielsen rated Spanish-language cable television network in the U.S.

        Cinelatino is distributed by all major U.S. cable, satellite and telecommunications operators on Hispanic program packages, and by many Latin American distributors, generally on basic video packages. Hispanic packages distributed in the U.S. generally consist of 20 or more Spanish-language channels, such as WAPA America, CNN en Español, Discovery en Español, History en Español, ESPN Deportes and Fox Deportes.

        Cinelatino is currently commercial-free and generates 100% of its revenue through subscriber fees pursuant to multi-year distribution agreements.

        In 2007 InterMedia Cine acquired a 50% economic interest in Cinelatino from MVS Cine Latino, S.A. de C.V. Shortly thereafter, Cinelatino hired James M.

CINELATINO

        Cinelatino is the leading Spanish-language cable movie network with approximately 12 million subscribers across the U.S., Latin America and Canada. Cinelatino is programmed with a lineup featuring contemporary films and original television series from Mexico, Latin America, the U.S. and Spain. Cinelatino was launched in Mexico in 1993, and introduced into the U.S. in 1995. Cinelatino is headquartered in Coral Gables, and the network operations, as well as satellite and uplinking services are provided by MVS in Mexico City. Cinelatino is very well positioned to benefit from the growth in the U.S. Hispanic population.

        The large and growing U.S. Hispanic population represents the largest minority group in the U.S. and 16% of the total U.S. population. As of the 2010 Census, 50 million Hispanics resided in the United States, which represents an increase of 15 million people or 43% between 2000 and 2010. U.S. Hispanics also represent the second largest Hispanic economy in the world after Mexico. More than half of the growth in the total U.S. population between 2000 and 2010 was attributable to the increase in the Hispanic population. The Hispanic population is expected to grow to 64 million by 2020, an increase of 26%.

        Cinelatino believes its programming is strategically aligned with the viewing preference of U.S. Hispanics. In 2011, Hispanics had the highest per capita movie attendance, visiting theaters on average 5.3 times per year compared to under 4 times for the overall population. Hispanics make up 16% of the total U.S. population and 22% of movie ticket sales. Cinelatino's robust movie lineup makes Cinelatino an important and attractive destination for television viewing. Spanish remains the preferred language in the homes of most U.S. Hispanics, and this powerfully influences television viewing habits. According to Nielsen, approximately 61% of Hispanics aged 18 and over prefer to speak Spanish in their homes. Spanish-dominant or bilingual homes comprise about 66% of U.S. Hispanic households, and these homes exhibit a strong preference to watch television in their native language. Spanish-dominant households view 78% of television in Spanish and bilingual homes view about 50% in Spanish.

        Driven by the strength of its programming and distribution, Cinelatino is the #2-Nielsen rated Spanish-language cable television network in the U.S. As a result, Cinelatino believes it is well-positioned to capitalize on the sizable and growing U.S. Hispanic television advertising market.

Table of Contents

        Cinelatino's programming is distributed to the U.S. and Latin America via two distinct feeds, which allows it to tailor its programming strategy specifically to each audience. With a dedicated feed for the U.S., Cinelatino has been able to acquire titles for the U.S., even if the title is unavailable in Latin America, thereby expanding its acquisition opportunities for the U.S. market and enabling Cinelatino to deliver a "red carpet" experience to its U.S. subscribers. Cinelatino frequently offers movies to its viewers within weeks following their theatrical release in their home country. The dedicated U.S. feed has been critical to Cinelatino's ratings success.

        Cinelatino's programming acquisition strategy is specifically intended to provide the audience with the broadest selection of the highest grossing box office films across all of the popular genres, from Mexico and all other Latin American countries which have significant populations in the U.S., including Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Colombia and Venezuela. Consistent with its programming strategy, Cinelatino has acquired the rights to the majority of the highest grossing box office films in Mexico each year from 2007 to 2012. In a typical year, Cinelatino acquires 160-200 titles across 18 Latin American countries from 53 distributors, and has an expansive library of over 400 of the best Spanish-language titles from suppliers across the globe. Cinelatino believes it is the only U.S. cable movie network programmed with the top titles from these countries, and, as a result, has built tremendous loyalty from these viewers. In addition, Cinelatino has longstanding relationships with major U.S. studios such as Warner Brothers, Lionsgate, Sony, Walt Disney Studios and MGM and acquires titles relevant to the Hispanic audience.

        The Spanish-language film industry is highly fragmented. Unlike the U.S., where a small number of major movie studios produce and/or distribute the overwhelming majority of theatrical films released each year, an organized and formal Spanish-language movie studio system does not exist within Mexico, or more broadly throughout all of Latin America. The absence of an organized film industry is attributable in part to the limited opportunities for theatrical releases for most Spanish-language titles outside of their home market. The cost of marketing theatrical releases makes international theatrical distribution impractical. As a result, Cinelatino often provides the first window for U.S. audiences to see these movies. This distinguishes Cinelatino from English-language premium movie channels, such as HBO and Showtime, which air movies during a much later distribution window subsequent to their theatrical release (often a year or so), as well as release on home video and pay per view. Cinelatino secures the first window as the only television network licensing current Spanish-language movies consistently and in significant quantities for the U.S. and Latin American markets, allowing Cinelatino to serve as a "one-stop shop" and providing it with a unique advantage.

        Cinelatino has expanded its programming variety by licensing exclusive first run television series. Cinelatino believes its series all share extremely high production values, promotable stars and compelling stories. These original series provide Cinelatino with high quality and repeatable content that can also be aired in multiple formats (single episodes, double episodes and feature length packaging).

        Cinelatino has grown to be one of the most widely distributed Spanish-language cable networks, distributed to over 4 million U.S. subscribers and to nearly 8 million Latin American subscribers. Cinelatino is distributed on Hispanic programming packages in the U.S. and generally on basic video packages internationally. While the U.S. represents approximately 35% of Cinelatino's subscriber base, 82% of Cinelatino's 2012 revenues were derived from U.S. distributors.

        More than half the growth in the total population of the United States between 2000 and 2010 attributable to the increase in the Hispanic population. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, 50 million Hispanics resided in the United States, which represents an increase of 15 million people, or 43%,

between 2000 and 2010. U.S. Hispanics represent the second largest Hispanic economy in the world. U.S. Hispanic television households grew from 11.6 million households in 2006 to 14.1 million households in 2012, an increase of over 21%, dramatically outpacing overall U.S. television household growth of only 3%. Hispanic television households are projected to grow 9% from 2012 to 2014, equating to 1.3 million new Hispanic television households. Strong growth in Hispanic television households in the U.S. is expected to continue, driven by the forecasted significant growth in the U.S. Hispanic population to 64 million by 2020. The continuing rapid growth of Hispanic television households creates a significant opportunity to reach an attractive audience at a time when overall television household growth in the U.S. is more modest.

        Hispanic pay-TV subscribers are expected to grow significantly, driven not only by the rapid growth in Hispanic television households, but also by increased penetration of pay-TV among Hispanics. Hispanic pay-TV subscribers increased 35% from 2006 to 2012, growing from 8.8 to 11.9 million subscribers, five times the 7% increase in overall U.S. subscribers during the same period. This 35% growth also significantly over-indexes the 21% Hispanic television household growth during the same period.

        Subscribers to Hispanic programming packages in the U.S. increased by approximately 60%, from 2.6 million to 4.2 million subscribers from 2006 to 2012. Hispanic programming package subscribers represented 30% of Hispanic pay-TV households in 2006 and 35% in 2012. In an effort to capitalize on the strong growth of the U.S. Hispanic population, pay-TV distributors have been more aggressively marketing Hispanic programming packages. Cinelatino expects to capitalize on this strong growth.

        Cinelatino's nearly 8 million Latin American subscribers are distributed among 15 countries throughout Latin America. Cinelatino is presently distributed to only 21% of total pay-TV subscribers throughout Latin America (excluding Brazil), representing a significant growth opportunity. Cinelatino is a top-rated network on one of the major satellite operators in Mexico (see chart below). Cinelatino believes the network's content has widespread appeal throughout Latin America, and therefore will grow distribution throughout the region.

MVS Service Agreements

        MVS was founded in 1976, and is one of the largest media and telecommunications conglomerates in Mexico, with a presence in television, broadband, mobile telecom, radio and publishing. Through its subsidiaries, MVS operates several cable channels in Mexico and throughout Latin America. In 2008, MVS partnered with DISH Network to create DISH Mexico, a satellite television service in Mexico. MVS provides operational and technical expertise to Cinelatino pursuant to the following agreements:

        Cinelatino contracts with MVS for satellite and support services including origination, uplinking and satellite delivery of two feeds of Cinelatino's channel (for U.S. and Latin America), master control and monitoring, dubbing, subtitling and close captioning, and other support services. MVS provides such services from their broadcast facilities in Mexico City, and total expenses incurred by Cinelatino for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $2,836,000, $3,565,000 and $3,814,000, respectively. This agreement expires on August 1, 2017.

        At the time of InterMedia Cine's investment in Cinelatino, Cinelatino entered into a Distribution Agreement providing MVS with the exclusive right to negotiate the terms of the distribution and exhibition of Cinelatino with cable, satellite and telecommunications operators throughout the U.S. Pursuant to the agreement, Cinelatino pays MVS a percentage of affiliate fees received from U.S. distributors, which totaled $2,458,000, $2,398,000, and $2,355,000 for the years ended 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Upon consummation of the Transaction, this agreement will terminate with an effective date of January 1, 2013.

        At the time of InterMedia Cine's investment in Cinelatino, Cinelatino entered into a Master License Agreement providing MVS with the exclusive rights to distribute and exhibit Cinelatino via cable, satellite or by any other means in Latin America and Mexico. Pursuant to the agreement, Cinelatino receives revenue net of MVS's distribution fees, which is presently equal to 13.5% of all license fees collected from distributors in Latin America and Mexico. Total revenues recognized by Cinelatino for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $2,496,000, $2,194,000 and $1,885,000, respectively. Upon consummation of the Transaction, this agreement will be amended such that MVS' rights to duplicate, distribute and exhibit Cinelatino's service will be non-exclusive on a going forward basis (except with respect to pre-existing distribution arrangements between MVS and third party distributors that are effective at the time of the amendment). Management believes that the amendment to this agreement will not impact Cinelatino's current distribution, and should enhance Cinelatino's ability to drive new distribution in Latin America.

        Cinelatino is party to a six-year affiliation agreement with DISH Mexico through December 2014 for the distribution and exhibition of Cinelatino's programming service through DISH Mexico. Total revenues recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $1,702,000, $1,569,000, and $1,250,000, respectively. Upon consummation of the Transaction, this agreement will be amended such that the term will be extended until August 1, 2017. This agreement is non-exclusive and does not restrict Cinelatino from being distributed by other distributors unaffiliated with MVS.

COMPETITION

        Cinelatino broadly competes for distribution and for viewership with broadcast and cable television networks in the U.S. More specifically, Cinelatino competes for distribution and for viewership with other broadcast networks targeting Hispanics in the United States such as Univision and Telemundo and other cable networks such as CNN en Español, Discovery en Español, History en Español, ESPN Deportes and Fox Deportes. Cinelatino also competes for distribution and for viewership with other channels offering Spanish-language movie programming. Competitors include De Pelicula/De Pelicula Clasico, Cine Estelar/Cine Nostalgia and Viendo Movies. These other movie channels are generally programmed with older and/or lower budget movies. Cinelatino is the only Spanish-language movie network focused on premium, contemporary films. With over 4 million U.S. subscribers, Cinelatino has the largest subscriber base of any Spanish-language cable television movie network.

        Certain technological advances, including the increased deployment of fiber optic cable, are expected to allow cable and telecommunication video service providers to continue to expand both their channel and broadband distribution capacities and to increase transmission speeds. In addition, the ability to deliver content via new methods and devices is expected to increase substantially. The impact of such added capacities is hard to predict, but the development of new channels of content distribution could lead to increased competition for viewers by facilitating the emergence of additional channels and mobile and internet platforms through which viewers could view programming that is similar to that offered by Cinelatino.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

        Cinelatino's intellectual property assets principally include copyrights in television programming, websites and other content, trademarks in brands, names and logos, domain names and licenses of intellectual property rights of various kinds. The protection of Cinelatino's brands and content is of primary importance to its success. To protect its intellectual property assets, Cinelatino relies upon a combination of copyright, trademark, unfair competition, trade secret and Internet/domain name statutes and laws and contract provisions. However, there can be no assurance of the degree to which these measures will be successful in any given case.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

        Cinelatino's cable network operations are subject to and affected by various statutes and government regulations, as well as certain U.S. federal government authorities. Cinelatino's foreign operation are also subject to additional laws and regulations. The rules, regulations, policies and procedures affecting Cinelatino's businesses are constantly subject to change. The "Government Regulation of Hemisphere" section of this document, beginning on page 133 contains a summary of certain government regulations that may affect Cinelatino's operations. That information is summary in nature and does not purport to describe all present and proposed laws and regulations affecting Cinelatino's businesses, particularly its foreign operations. Reference should be made to the Communications Act, other legislation, FCC rules, public notices, and rulings for further information concerning the nature and extent of the FCC's regulatory authority. FCC laws and regulations are subject to change, and Cinelatino generally cannot predict whether new legislation, court action or regulations, or a change in the extent of application or enforcement of current laws and regulations, would have an adverse impact on its operations.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        From time to time, Cinelatino may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm Cinelatino's

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CINELATINO

        The following discussion and analysis summarizes Cinelatino's financial condition and operating performance and should be read in conjunction with its historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        Significant components of management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition for Cinelatino include:

OVERVIEW

        Cinelatino, a Delaware corporation, is a leading Spanish-language cable television movie network, distributed in the U.S., Latin America and Canada. Cinelatino is programmed with a lineup featuring contemporary films and original television series from Mexico, Latin America, the U.S. and Spain. Cinelatino is the #2-rated Spanish-language pay-TV channel in the U.S., driven by the strength of its programming. Cinelatino's programming is distributed to the U.S. and Latin America via two distinct feeds, which allow it to tailor its programming strategy specifically to each audience.

        Cinelatino is currently commercial-free and generates most of its revenue through subscriber fees received from cable, satellite and telecommunications operators distributing the network pursuant to multi-year distribution agreements that provide for monthly subscriber fees. With over 80% of Cinelatino's 2012 revenues derived from U.S. distributors, management has strategically acquired earlier exhibition windows for many of its titles for the U.S., thereby enhancing the value of the network and the programming it offers to its rapidly growing target audience.

        Management expects Cinelatino to benefit from significant growth in subscribers, as the U.S. Hispanic population continues to grow rapidly. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, 50 million Hispanics resided in the United States, which represents an increase of 15 million people, or 43%, between 2000 and 2010, and is expected to grow to 64 million by 2020. Similarly, Hispanic television households are projected to grow from 14.1 million in 2012 to 15.4 million in 2014, and increase of 9% or 1.3 million new Hispanic television households. In an effort to capitalize on the strong growth of the U.S. Hispanic population and Hispanic television households, pay-TV distributors have been more aggressively marketing Hispanic programming packages. Accordingly, management believes Cinelatino is well positioned to benefit from growth in subscribers.

        Similarly, management expects Cinelatino to benefit from significant growth in Latin America. Fueled by a sizeable and growing population, a strong macroeconomic backdrop and rising disposable incomes, as well as investments in network infrastructure resulting in improved service and performance, pay-TV subscribers in Latin America (excluding Brazil) are projected to grow from 34 million in 2011 to 48 million in 2016, representing a 7% compounded annual growth rate. Furthermore, with approximately 8 million subscribers in Latin America, Cinelatino is presently distributed to only 21% of total pay-TV subscribers throughout Latin America. Accordingly, growth

118


Table of Contents

through new system launches represents a significant growth opportunity. Cinelatino is a top-rated network and management believes the network's content has widespread appeal throughout Latin America, and therefore will be able grow distribution throughout the region.

        Cinelatino continuously reviews the quality of its programming to ensure that it is maximizing its viewership and giving its subscribers a premium, high-value experience. The continued growth in Cinelatino's subscriber fees will, to a certain extent, be dependent on the growth in subscribers of the cable, satellite and telecommunications operators distributing its network, and new system launches, particularly in Latin America.

        Revenues derived from three major unrelated customers were $5,924,345, $4,864,338, and $2,957,113 for the year ended December 31, 2012. These revenues are earned pursuant to multi-year agreements and such agreements have previously been renewed. Given that Cinelatino is the #2-rated Hispanic cable network and its unique position of being distributed by all major U.S. distributors, management believes these agreements will be renewed and extended as they expire in the future.

        MVS, a 47.5% shareholder of Cinelatino, provides operational and technical services to Cinelatino pursuant to several agreements described described in the section entitled "Information About Cinelatino—MVS Service Agreements" on page 115. Upon consummation of the Transaction, certain of the agreements will be amended to what management believes to be to the benefit of Cinelatino. An agreement which grants MVS the exclusive right to distribute the service in the U.S will be terminated upon consummation of the Transaction. Management believes Hemisphere can assume responsibility for those activities previously provided by MVS, given the resources of WAPA that will be available to it, thus having no impact on Cinelatino's operations. A similar agreement which grants MVS the exclusive right to distribute the service throughout Latin America will be amended upon consummation of the Transaction so that MVS's rights will be on a non-exclusive basis, except for distribution agreements currently in effect. Management believes that the amendment to this agreement will not impact Cinelatino's current distribution, and should enhance Cinelatino's ability to drive new distribution in Latin America. Also upon consummation of the Transaction, Cinelatino's affiliation agreement with Dish Mexico (an affiliate of MVS), pursuant to which Dish Mexico distributes the network and Cinelatino receives revenue, will be extended through August 1, 2017.

        Cinelatino is seeking to introduce advertising on its U.S. feed in an effort to further monetize its strong ratings and attractive audience, and to capitalize on the growing Hispanic cable advertising market. Cinelatino's audience offers advertisers an unmatched opportunity to target a rapidly growing demographic with high media consumption patterns.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Management discussion and analysis of Cinelatino's financial condition and results of operations is based upon the amounts reported in Cinelatino's consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

        The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those reported amounts. The significant accounting policies, outlined in Note 1, "Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies," to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, are integral to an understanding of Cinelatino's management's discussion and analysis.

        On an on-going basis, Cinelatino evaluates its estimates, including those used for allowance for doubtful accounts in receivables and due from related parties, amortization and impairment of program rights and intangible assets, and income taxes. Cinelatino bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results

119


Table of Contents

of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Programming Costs

        Programming costs are recorded based on Cinelatino's contractual agreements with various third party programming distributors and are generally multi-year agreements.

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable are carried at the original charge amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. An account receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 60 days.

Amounts Due From Related Parties

        Certain amounts due from related parties are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts based on management's expectations related to the realization of collections and remittances by the related party.

Programming Rights

        Cinelatino enters into multi-year license agreements with various programming distributors for distribution of their respective programming ("programming rights") and capitalizes amounts paid to secure or extend these programming rights at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. If management estimates that the unamortized cost of its programming rights exceeds their estimated net realizable value, Cinelatino will write down its programming rights. Cinelatino determined $32,965 of its programming rights was impaired during 2012. No such write down was deemed necessary during 2011 or 2010. Cinelatino amortizes these programming rights over the term of the related license agreements or the number of exhibitions, whichever occurs first. The amortization of these rights, which was approximately $2,302,000, $2,458,000 and $2,486,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is recorded as part of cost of revenues in the accompanying statements of income.

Income Taxes

        Cinelatino considers future taxable income and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for establishing or removing a valuation allowance. Cinelatino records or subsequently removes a valuation allowance to reflect its deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event that Cinelatino determines changes regarding the realization of all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is recorded to Cinelatino's consolidated statement of operations in the period in which such a determination is made.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 820): Presentation of Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2011-05"). The amendments in ASU 2011-05 require an entity to present the total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of

120


Table of Contents

the statement of stockholders' equity. Cinelatino elected to present this information in a separate statement following the statement of income. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. Cinelatino adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and the adoption did not have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

        In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-07, Entertainment - Films (Topic 926): Accounting for Fair Value Information That Arises after the Measurement Date and its Inclusion in the Impairment Analysis of Unamortized Film Costs. This ASU aligns the guidance on fair value measurements in the impairment test of unamortized film costs with the guidance on fair value measurements in other instances within accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For SEC filers, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2012. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2013. Cinelatino adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2012, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

        Cinelatino's primary uses of cash include the acquisition of programming, operational costs, personnel costs, interest payments on its outstanding debt and income tax payments.

        Management believes cash on hand and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its current contractual financial obligations and to fund anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for existing operations. Cinelatino's current financial obligations include maturities of debt and other commitments from ordinary course of business that require cash payments to vendors and suppliers.

        Net cash used in financing activities decreased $1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011, due to a distribution paid to shareholders in June 2011 of $23.2 million funded in large part by proceeds from a new term loan of $19.3 million, offset in part by an increase in repayments of the term loan of $2.8 million.

Comparison for the Year Ended December 31, 2011 and the Year Ended December 31, 2010

Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities increased $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to same period in 2010, due to a $0.4 million increase in net income and a $3.3 million decrease in net working capital.

Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011, was relatively unchanged as compared to the same period in 2010.

Financing Activities

        Net cash used in financing activities decreased $2.1 million due to a decrease in repayments of the term loan of $2.0 million, and though distributions to stockholders increased $19.1 million it was funded with net proceeds from the new loan of $19.2 million.

Discussion of Indebtedness

        During 2011, Cinelatino amended its credit facility with the General Electric Capital Corporation, as sole lead arranger and bookrunner (the "Cinelatino Term Loan"), increasing its maximum borrowing to $40.0 million. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4% (4.31% as of December 31, 2012) and matures in June 2017. Principal and interest payments are due quarterly and a balloon payment of the remaining principal is due at maturity. Amounts outstanding under the Cinelatino Term Loan as of December 31, 2012 were $33,050,868.

        The Cinelatino Term Loan contains certain covenants that limit Cinelatino's ability and the ability of the subsidiaries of Cinelatino to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other payments, make loans and investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, and consolidate, merge or sell assets.

        In 2012, Cinelatino made term loan principal repayments of $4.9 million.

        In connection with the Transaction, Cinelatino, the lenders thereto and the agent thereto amended the Cinelatino Term Loan to ensure that the "change of control" provision contained therein will not be violated by the mergers contemplated by the Transaction. As of December 31, 2012, Cinelatino was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Cinelatino Term Loan. The Cinelatino Term Loan will remain outstanding after the consummation of the Transaction.

        During 2011, Cinelatino entered into an interest rate cap and an interest rate swap agreement which as of December 31, 2012 had outstanding notional amounts of $0 and $17,000,000, respectively. The interest rate cap agreement limited the LIBOR rate on $19,000,000 of the Cinelatino Term Loan borrowed to a maximum 1.0% rate. The interest rate cap matured on June 30, 2012. The interest rate swap agreement converts the variable interest rate of LIBOR on $18,000,000 of the Cinelatino Term Loan to a fixed rate of 1.195%. The interest rate swap became effective on June 30, 2012, and matures on July 8, 2013. The effective portion of the change in fair values of the interest rate cap and swap is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and is reclassified into interest expense in the

same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. These derivative instruments are being utilized to manage interest rate exposure over the period of the derivative instruments and are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges.

        Cinelatino may declare and directly or indirectly pay cash dividends and distributions to its stockholders in any fiscal year provided (i) no default under the Cinelatino Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) the consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Cinelatino Credit Agreement) was less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, (iii) no such cash dividend or distribution may be paid in excess of $20,000,000 in the aggregate for all such dividends or distributions for the term of the agreement, (iv) no such cash dividend or distribution may be paid in any fiscal year until after Cinelatino makes the mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow required in such fiscal year, (v) the aggregate amount of such cash dividends and distributions paid in any fiscal year shall not exceed an amount equal to (x) excess cash flow for the preceding year minus (y) the amount of excess cash flow for such preceding year required to be applied to the prepayment of the loans and (vi) immediately before and immediately after giving pro forma effect to any such payment, the Borrower shall be in compliance with all covenants contained in the Cinelatino Credit Agreement.

Contractual Obligations

        Cinelatino's contractual obligations as of December 31, 2012 are as follows:

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

        Cinelatino does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Cinelatino maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses interest rate cap and swap derivative instruments, as discussed above, to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility related to its LIBOR-based borrowing on the Cinelatino Term Loan.

        Cinelatino is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates primarily through the unhedged portion of the Cinelatino Term Loan, which is variable-rate debt with a total outstanding balance of $33.1 million as of December 31, 2012. An increase in the interest rate of 100 basis points would result in an increase of interest expense of $0.3 million per year, based upon the current Cinelatino Term Loan balance. Such potential increase is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level of debt, no interest rate hedges, and an immediate, across-the-board increase in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for one year.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of Azteca

        In April 2011, Azteca issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares to Azteca's Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.0087 per share. On June 8, 2011, the sponsor transferred 50,000 shares to each of John Engelman and Alfredo Elias Ayub, Azteca's two independent directors.

        On August 15, 2011, as a result of the underwriter of the initial public offering electing not to exercise the over-allotment option, the Azteca Initial Stockholders forfeited an aggregate of 375,000 shares of Azteca common stock and as a result, there are 12,500,000 shares of Azteca common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

        Pursuant to a letter agreement with Azteca, the Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed that 735,294 Founder Shares will be subject to forfeiture by the Azteca Initial Stockholders as follows: (1) 378,788 Founder Shares will be subject to forfeiture in the event the closing sales price of Azteca's common stock does not equal or exceed $15.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within at least one 30-trading day period within 36 months following the closing of a business combination and (2) 356,506 Founder Shares will be subject to forfeiture in the event the closing sales price of Azteca's common stock does not equal or exceed $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within at least one 30-trading day period within 36 months following the closing of a business combination. Any forfeiture of shares will be effected by Azteca redeeming such shares from the Azteca Initial Stockholders for nominal consideration pursuant to the provisions of the insider letter entered into between Azteca and Azteca's Sponsor prior to the consummation of the initial public offering. If such shares are forfeited, Azteca would record the aggregate fair value of the shares forfeited and reacquired to treasury shares and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital based on the difference between the fair market value of the forfeited shares and the price paid to Azteca for such forfeited shares of approximately $6,397. Upon receipt, such forfeited shares would then be immediately cancelled, which would result in the retirement of the treasury shares and a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital.

        In connection with the Transaction, such Founder Shares will be converted into Hemisphere Class A common stock and will be subject to the same forfeiture provisions described above. In addition, the Azteca Initial Stockholders also agreed to subject an additional 250,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to forfeiture provisions similar to those set forth above. Specifically, (i) 125,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock received in the Transaction are subject to forfeiture if Hemisphere Class A common stock does not equal or exceed the $15.00 per share target price discussed above and (ii) 125,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock received in the Transaction are subject to forfeiture if Hemisphere's Class A common stock does not equal or exceed the $12.50 per share target price discussed above. Each of these forfeiture provisions shall survive for a period of 60 months following the consummation of the Transaction. Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, the Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to contribute an aggregate of 250,000 Founder Shares to Azteca for no consideration immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, and such shares will be cancelled.

        Azteca's Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,666,667 warrants in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering. Each such Sponsor Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $12.00 per share. The Sponsor Warrants (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by it until 30 days after the completion of the Transaction.

128


Table of Contents

        On March 6, 2012, Azteca's Sponsor sold all of the Sponsor Warrants to Brener International Group, LLC, an affiliate of Azteca's Sponsor and Mr. Brener. Azteca will purchase from the Current Sponsor Warrantholders, 2,333,334 Amended Azteca Warrants (i.e. warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares of Azteca common stock) for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50 immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

        On December 7, 2012, (i) Azteca's Sponsor sold 160,000 Founder Shares to each of Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 (the "Share Purchase Price") paid by each of Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán, respectively and (ii) Brener International Group, LLC sold 311,111 Sponsor Warrants to each of Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 (the "Warrant Purchase Price") paid by each of Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán, respectively. In connection therewith, each of Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán agreed that if the market price of Azteca common stock is less than $3.11 per share on the one year anniversary of the consummation of the Transaction (the "Make Whole Date"), each of Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán is obligated to sell a sufficient number of Founder Shares (including shares subject to forfeiture) and Sponsor Warrants to Azteca's Sponsor and Brener International Group, at the Share Purchase Price and the Warrant Purchase Price, respectively, having a value equal to the difference between (A) the sum of (i) all proceeds received by Azteca's Sponsor and Brener International Group from the sale, redemption or other disposal of shares of Azteca common stock (including shares subject to forfeiture which have been earned) and Sponsor Warrants through the Make Whole Date plus (ii) the aggregate market price of all shares of Azteca common stock (including shares subject to forfeiture which have been earned) and Sponsor Warrants then owned by Azteca's Sponsor and Brener International Group and (B) the sum of (i) $2,333,333, plus (ii) a seven percent (7%) annualized return on $2,333,333, calculated from the date of purchase of the Sponsor Warrants by Azteca's Sponsor through the Make Whole Date. The rights and obligations of Azteca's Sponsor, Brener International Group, Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán shall be applicable to the Hemisphere Class A common stock and the warrants to be received by Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán upon consummation of the Transaction. The transfer of securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements dated December 7, 2012 among Azteca's Sponsor and Brener International Group, on the one hand, and each of Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán, on the other hand, shall apply only up to the maximum number of securities purchased by Mr. Fleissig and Mr. Albán thereunder and will not require either Mr. Fleissig or Mr. Albán to remit any cash or other compensation to Azteca's Sponsor or Brener International Group, other than securities purchased thereunder.

        Each of Azteca's officers and directors (other than its independent directors) has agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with Azteca, that until the earliest of Azteca's initial business combination, Azteca's liquidation or such time as he ceases to be an officer or director, to present to us for Azteca's consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable business combination opportunities, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations he might have. If any of Azteca's officers or directors (other than its independent directors) becomes aware of Azteca's initial business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he has pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to Azteca. With the exception of Messrs. Gabriel Brener and Pablo Brener, none of Azteca's officers or directors currently has fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to Azteca.

        Galco, Inc., an affiliate of Azteca's Sponsor has agreed, from June 30, 2011 through the earlier of Azteca's consummation of Azteca's initial business combination and Azteca's liquidation, to make available to Azteca office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services, as Azteca may require from time to time. Azteca has agreed to pay its sponsor or an affiliate of its sponsor $10,000 per month for these services. However, this arrangement is solely for Azteca's benefit and is not intended to provide its sponsor with compensation in lieu of salary. Azteca believes, based on rents and

129


Table of Contents

fees for similar services in the Beverly Hills metropolitan area, that the fee charged by Azteca's Sponsor is at least as favorable as Azteca could have obtained from an unaffiliated person.

        Other than the $10,000 per-month administrative fee paid to Galco, Inc., an affiliate of Azteca's Sponsor, and reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Azteca's behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder's fees, consulting fees or other similar compensation, will be paid to Azteca's Sponsor, officers or directors, or to any of their respective affiliates, prior to or with respect to its initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). Azteca's independent directors review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to its sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and are responsible for reviewing and approving all related party transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K, after reviewing each such transaction for potential conflicts of interest and other improprieties.

        Azteca's Sponsor advanced to Azteca an aggregate of $100,000 to cover expenses related to the initial public offering. This loan was repaid on July 7, 2011 upon the closing of the initial public offering.

        In addition, on February 1, 2013, Azteca's Sponsor loaned Azteca $250,000 to fund working capital pursuant to a non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note that is payable by Azteca or Hemisphere at or prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

        After Azteca's initial business combination, members of its management team who remain with Azteca may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to its stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to its stockholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider Azteca's initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

        All ongoing and future transactions between Azteca and any member of its management team or his or her respective affiliates will be on terms believed by Azteca at that time, based upon other similar arrangements known to Azteca, to be no less favorable to Azteca than are available from unaffiliated third parties. It is Azteca's intention to obtain estimates from unaffiliated third parties for similar goods or services to ascertain whether such transactions with affiliates are on terms that are no less favorable to Azteca than are otherwise available from such unaffiliated third parties. If a transaction with an affiliated third party were found to be on terms less favorable to us than with an unaffiliated third party, Azteca would not engage in such transaction.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of WAPA

        In March 2011, WAPA entered into an agreement with the WAPA Member to provide management services, including strategic planning, assistance with licensing of programming rights, and participation in distribution negotiations with cable and satellite operators (the "Management Services Fee"). This agreement replaced a prior agreement entered into between the parties in 2007. The Management Services Fee is payable so long as no default shall have occurred or would result therefrom. Pursuant to the WAPA Loan Agreement (as defined herein), the payment of the Management Services Fee is expressly subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies to the payment in full of the related term loan. Total expenses for management services for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $625,000, $625,000 and $250,000, respectively. Upon consummation of the Transaction, this agreement will be terminated.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of Cinelatino

        Cinelatino is party to certain agreements with MVS, with which Cinelatino has certain officers and stockholders in common and whose affiliate, Cinema Aeropuerto, owns 47.5% of Cinelatino. These agreements include:

        Cinelatino has a five-year consulting agreement with an entity owned by Cinelatino's non-executive chairman and 5% stockholder James M. McNamara to provide the development, production and maintenance of programming, affiliate relations, identification and negotiation of carriage opportunities, and the development, identification and negotiation of new business initiatives including sponsorship, new channels, direct-to-consumer programs and other interactive initiatives through April 2013. Total expenses incurred under the consulting agreement for each of the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $230,000, $230,000 and $194,000, respectively.

        Cinelatino entered into programming agreements with an entity owned by James M. McNamara for the distribution of three specific movie titles. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $112,500 and $150,000, respectively, is included in other assets as prepaid programming related to these

131


Table of Contents

agreements. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately $103,800 and $73,800, respectively, is included in programming rights related to these agreements.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of Hemisphere

        In connection with the Transaction, Cinema Aeropuerto and Hemisphere entered into a letter agreement governing the terms of Cinema Aeropuerto's ownership of shares of Hemisphere common stock from and after the Effective Time. Pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement, Cinema Aeropuerto agrees that at no time shall it own an amount of shares of Hemisphere common stock having in excess of 20% of the voting power of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hemisphere common stock. If, at any time after consummation of the Transaction, Cinema Aeropuerto's ownership of shares of Hemisphere common stock would result in Cinema Aeropuerto having voting power in excess of 20% of the voting power of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hemisphere common stock, Cinema Aeropuerto agrees that it will convert a portion or all, as applicable, of its shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock into shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Hemisphere, so as to ensure that the voting power of its shares does not exceed 20% of the voting power of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hemisphere common stock.

        In addition, pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement, Cinema Aeropuerto agrees that Hemisphere has the right, as specified in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Hemisphere, to require the conversion of Cinema Aeropuerto's shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock into shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock in the event of an issuance by Hemisphere of its capital stock in connection with an acquisition of the stock or assets of another person or entity or a merger or other business combination with an entity in which the consideration payable consists of or includes capital stock of Hemisphere, in each case in an amount that may result in an FCC Regulatory Limitation being imposed on Hemisphere.

Table of Contents


GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF HEMISPHERE

        Upon consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere's operations will be subject to and affected by various statutes and government regulations, as well as certain U.S. federal, state, territorial, and local government authorities. In particular, Hemisphere's broadcast television and cable network operations, through its interests in WAPA and Cinelatino, will be subject to regulation by the FCC under the Communications Act. Under authority of the Communications Act, the FCC, among other things, assigns frequency bands for broadcast stations, including the WAPA PR station, and other uses; determines the location, frequency and operating power of stations; grants permits and licenses to construct and operate television stations on particular frequencies; issues, revokes, modifies and renews television broadcast station licenses; regulates equipment used by stations; determines whether to approve changes in ownership or control of station licenses; and adopts and implements regulations and policies which directly or indirectly affect the ownership, operations and profitability of broadcasting stations. Additionally, the FCC's rules require broadcast stations to implement equal employment opportunity outreach programs and maintain records and make filings with the FCC evidencing such efforts.

        The FCC has also adopted various rules that regulate the content of programming broadcast by television stations, including the WAPA PR stations, and carried by cable networks, including WAPA America and Cinelatino. These rules regulate, among other things, children's programming, sponsorship identification disclosures, closed captioning of certain television programming, and obscene, indecent and profane content. The FCC could also adopt other regulations that affect cable networks, such as the requirement that the cable programming services be on an "á la carte" basis, which could affect their business operations. The FCC has the power to impose penalties for violations of its rules.

        The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of the Communications Act, and specific FCC rules and policies and certain other statutes and regulations. The summaries are not intended to describe all present and proposed statutes and FCC rules and regulations that impact television and cable network operations. Failure to observe the provisions of the Communications Act and the FCC's rules and policies can result in the imposition of various sanctions, including monetary forfeitures, the grant of "short-term" (less than the maximum term) broadcast license renewals or, for particularly egregious violations, the denial of a broadcast license renewal application, the revocation of a broadcast license, or the withholding of approval for acquisition of additional broadcast properties.

Commission Approval of Transfer of Control of FCC Licenses

        The FCC's prior approval is required for the transfer of control that will occur with regard to the FCC-issued television broadcast, wireless, and earth station licenses (the "FCC Licenses") held by WAPA PR due to the transaction contemplated by the Transaction. As the transaction contemplated by the Transaction will not affect the ultimate control of the FCC Licenses, which will be controlled, both before and after the contemplated transaction, by the same individuals, the FCC treated the transaction as a pro forma transfer of control. The FCC granted its consent in February 2013.

        Should a subsequent transaction involving Hemisphere result in a transfer of control from the individuals that currently have ultimate control of the FCC Licenses to other parties, the FCC's prior approval would also be needed for that transaction. The applications seeking the FCC's consent for such a transfer of control or assignment of the licenses to new parties would be subject to a formal public notice and comment period during which petitions to deny the applications would be accepted by the FCC.

        Such a subsequent transaction would also require the FCC to continue to classify television stations WNJX-TV and WTIN-TV as "satellite" stations of WAPA-TV. Stations granted satellite status are exempt from the FCC's local television ownership rule. Thus, this status permits the common ownership of the three WAPA PR broadcast stations that would not otherwise be permitted. WNJX-TV

133


Table of Contents

and WTIN-TV were first accorded satellite status in 2001 due to the unique circumstances of the Puerto Rico market, including its topography and economic conditions. The FCC continued the grant of satellite status to WNJX-TV and WTIN-TV as to WAPA-TV when WAPA acquired its 100% economic interest in the FCC licensee of the three WAPA PR broadcast stations in 2007.

FCC Licenses and Renewal

        The Communications Act permits the operation of a broadcast station only in accordance with a license issued by the FCC upon a finding that the grant of a license would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity. The FCC grants broadcast licenses for specified periods of time and, upon application, may renew the licenses for additional terms (ordinarily for the full term of eight years). Generally, the FCC renews a broadcast license upon a finding that (i) the broadcast station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity; (ii) there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the FCC's rules; and (iii) there have been no other violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or other FCC rules which, taken together, indicate a pattern of abuse. After considering these factors, the FCC may renew a broadcast station's license, either with conditions or without, or it may designate the renewal application for hearing. Currently license renewal applications for the three WAPA PR broadcast stations are pending with the FCC. Assurances cannot be made that any of WAPA PR's licenses will be renewed. The failure to renew any of WAPA PR's licenses upon the expiration of any license term could have a material adverse effect on its business. Under the Communications Act, the term of a broadcast license is automatically extended pending the FCC's processing of a renewal application.

        With the exception of a wireless license for a weather radar system, which expires in 2015, each of the wireless licenses held by WAPA PR expires on the same date as the license of the broadcast television station with which it is associated. WAPA PR's two earth station licenses have expiration dates in 2025.

Digital Television

        As of June 12, 2009, all full-power broadcast television stations were required to cease broadcasting analog programming and convert to all digital broadcasts. Digital broadcasting allows stations to offer digital channels for a wide variety of services such as high definition video programming, multiple channels of standard definition video programming, such as WAPA 2 Deportes, data, and other types of communications. Each station is required to provide at least one free over-the-air video program signal.

        To the extent a station has "excess" digital capacity (i.e., digital capacity not used to transmit free, over-the-air video programming), it may elect to use that capacity in any manner consistent with FCC technical requirements, including for data transmission, interactive or subscription video services, or paging and information services. If a station uses its digital capacity to provide any such "ancillary or supplementary" services on a subscription or otherwise "feeable" basis, it must pay the FCC an annual fee equal to 5% of the gross revenues realized from such services.

Media Ownership Restrictions and FCC Proceedings

        The FCC's broadcast ownership rules affect the number, type and location of broadcast and newspaper properties that Hemisphere will be allowed to hold or acquire. The rules now in effect limit the common ownership, operation or control of, and "attributable" interests or voting power in: (i) television stations serving the same area; (ii) television stations and daily newspapers serving the same area; and (iii) television stations and radio stations serving the same area. The rules also limit the aggregate national audience reach of television stations that may be under common ownership, operation and control, or in which a single person or entity may hold an official position or have more

134


Table of Contents

than a specified interest or percentage of voting power. The FCC's rules also define the types of positions and interests that are considered attributable for purposes of the ownership limits, which will also apply to Hemisphere principals and certain investors.

        The FCC is required by statute to review all of its broadcast ownership rules every four years to determine if such rules remain necessary in the public interest. In 2007, the FCC adopted a Report and Order fulfilling the FCC's obligation to review its media ownership rules every four years. That Order left most of the FCC's existing ownership restrictions in place, but modified the newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership restriction. A number of parties appealed the FCC's order; those appeals were consolidated in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ("Third Circuit"). In May 2010, while these appeals were still pending, the FCC began a new comprehensive review of its broadcast ownership rules to determine whether the rules remain necessary in the public interest by releasing a Notice of Inquiry ("Ownership NOI"). The Ownership NOI sought comments on (1) whether the current rules continue to foster competition, localism, and diversity; (2) how to define, measure, and promote competition, localism and diversity; and (3) how to weigh these public interest goals if there is conflict between them. In July 2011, the Third Circuit vacated and remanded the FCC's 2007 changes to the newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership rule, but upheld the FCC's retention of the remainder of its media ownership rules. In December 2011, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the "2011 NPRM") that addressed issues remanded by the Third Circuit. In addition, the 2011 NPRM requested comments on the FCC's proposals to leave the local TV ownership rule and local radio ownership rule largely intact; eliminate the radio/television cross-ownership rule; and presumptively permit waivers of the newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership ban in the 20 largest television markets. Finally, the 2011 NPRM requested comments on whether local news service agreements and/or shared services agreements should be considered attributable for purposes of applying the media ownership restrictions. The FCC recently sought additional comments in this proceeding based on information from broadcast ownership reports regarding minority and female ownership of broadcast stations. Comments and reply comments have been filed as of January 4, 2013. The FCC has not issued an order addressing the 2011 NPRM.

        The FCC is also seeking comments on whether certain broadcast ownership interests that are not deemed attributable to the interest holder under the FCC's rules should nonetheless be reported to the FCC on the biennial ownership reports that broadcast licensees file with the FCC. Such a requirement might require Hemisphere and its interest holders to obtain additional information about some of its interest holders and report that information on the biennial ownership reports that are filed with the FCC in connection with WAPA PR. Comments on this proposal are due February 14, 2013 and reply comments are due March 1, 2013.

        Certain of the FCC's ownership rules that are currently in effect are briefly summarized below.

Local Television Ownership Rule

        Under the local television ownership rule, one party may own, operate, or control up to two television stations in a market, so long as the market would have at least eight independently owned full power television stations after the combination and at least one of the stations is not one of the top-four-rated stations (based on audience share) in the television market. The rule also permits the ownership, operation or control of two television stations in a market as long as the stations' Noise Limited Service contours do not overlap. In 2011 the FCC sought comments on its proposal to eliminate the contour overlap exception that permits common ownership of two television stations in the same market. At that time, the FCC proposed to grandfather existing common ownership of stations that would not be permitted after the elimination of this exception. The matter remains pending. Broadcast stations designated by the FCC as "satellite" stations are exempt from the local television ownership rule. WNJX-TV and WTIN-TV have been designated by the FCC as "satellite" stations of WAPA-TV. The FCC may also waive its local television ownership rule to permit ownership,

135


Table of Contents

operation or control of two television stations in a market that would not otherwise be permissible if one of the stations is in involuntary bankruptcy, is a "failed" station, or is "failing" (i.e., stations with negative cash flow and less than a four share all day audience rating). Under the rule, the licensee of a television station that provides more than 15% of another in-market station's weekly programming will be deemed to have an attributable interest in the other station.

Radio-Television Cross-Ownership Rule

        The radio-television cross-ownership rule generally allows common ownership of one or two television stations and up to six radio stations, or, in certain circumstances, one television station and seven radio stations, in any market where at least 20 independent voices would remain after the combination; two television stations and up to four radio stations in a market where at least 10 independent voices would remain after the combination; and one television and one radio station notwithstanding the number of independent voices in the market. A "voice" generally includes independently owned, same-market commercial and noncommercial broadcast television and radio stations, newspapers of certain minimum circulation, and one cable system per market.

Cross Media Limits

        Under the currently effective newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership rule, unless grandfathered or subject to waiver, no party can have an attributable interest in both a daily English-language newspaper and either a television station or a radio station in the same market if specified signal contours of the television station or the radio station encompass the entire community in which the newspaper is published. The FCC is considering whether to relax this rule.

Attribution Rules

        Under the FCC's ownership rules, a direct or indirect purchaser of Hemisphere shares could violate FCC regulations if that purchaser owned or acquired an "attributable" interest in other media properties in the Puerto Rico market. Pursuant to FCC rules, the following relationships and interests are generally considered attributable for purposes of broadcast ownership restrictions: (i) all officers and directors of a corporate licensee and its direct or indirect parent(s); (ii) voting stock interests of at least five percent; (iii) voting stock interests of at least 20 percent, if the holder is a passive institutional investor (such as an investment company, bank, or insurance company); (iv) any equity interest in a limited partnership or limited liability company, unless properly "insulated" from management activities; (v) equity and/or debt interests that in the aggregate exceed 33 percent of a licensee's total assets, if the interest holder supplies more than 15 percent of the station's total weekly programming or is a same-market broadcast company or daily newspaper publisher; (vi) time brokerage of a broadcast station by a same-market broadcast company; and (vii) same-market radio joint sales agreements.

        Management services agreements and other types of shared services arrangements between same-market stations that do not include attributable time brokerage or joint sales components generally are not deemed attributable under the FCC's current rules and policies.

        To WAPA's knowledge, no officer, director, five percent voting stockholder, or other attributable interest holder currently holds an attributable interest in another television station, radio station or daily newspaper that is inconsistent with the FCC's ownership rules and policies or with our ownership of WAPA PR's stations.

Alien Ownership Restrictions

        Under the Communications Act, a broadcast license may not be granted to or held by any corporation that has more than 20% of its capital stock owned or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities,

136


Table of Contents

whom the FCC refers to as "aliens," or their representatives, by foreign governments or their representatives, or by non-U.S. corporations.

        Furthermore, the Communications Act provides that no FCC broadcast license may be granted to or held by any corporation directly or indirectly controlled by any other corporation of which more than 25% of the capital stock is owned or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, by foreign governments or their representatives, or by non-U.S. corporations, if the FCC finds the public interest will be served by the refusal or revocation of such license. These restrictions apply in modified form to other forms of business organizations, including partnerships and limited liability companies. The FCC has interpreted this provision of the Communications Act to require an affirmative public interest finding before a broadcast license may be granted to or held by any such entity, and the FCC has made such an affirmative finding only in limited circumstances. Thus, the licenses for WAPA PR's television stations could be revoked if more than 25% of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock is issued to or for the benefit of non-U.S. citizens. The FCC would likely not consent to the assignment or transfer of control of WAPA PR's television licenses if more than 25% of the assignee/transferee's outstanding capital stock is held by or for the benefit of non-U.S. citizens.

        To the extent necessary to comply with the Communications Act and FCC rules and policies, Hemisphere's board of directors may (i) take any action it believes necessary to prohibit the ownership or voting of more than 25% of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock by or for the account of aliens or their representatives or by a foreign government or representative thereof or by any entity organized under the laws of a foreign country (collectively, "Aliens"), or by any other entity (a) that is subject to or deemed to be subject to control by Aliens on a de jure or de facto basis or (b) owned by, or held for the benefit of Aliens in a manner that would cause Hemisphere to be in violation of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies; (ii) prohibit any transfer of Hemisphere stock which Hemisphere believes could cause more than 25% of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock to be owned or voted by or for any person or entity identified in the foregoing clause (i); (iii) prohibit the ownership, voting or transfer of any portion of its outstanding capital stock to the extent the ownership, voting or transfer of such portion would cause Hemisphere to violate or would otherwise result in violation of any provision of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies; (iv) convert shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock into shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to the extent necessary to bring Hemisphere into compliance with the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies; and (v) redeem capital stock to the extent necessary to bring Hemisphere into compliance with the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies or to prevent the loss or impairment of any of Hemisphere's FCC licenses. See "Description of Hemisphere Securities—Regulatory Restrictions" beginning on page 215.

MVPD Retransmission of Local Television Signals

        A number of provisions of the Communications Act and FCC rules govern aspects of the relationship between broadcast television stations and distributors of multiple channels of video programming such as cable, satellite and telecommunications companies (referred to as MVPDs). The rules generally provide certain protections for local broadcast stations, for which MPVDs are an important means of distribution and a provider of competing program channels.

        To ensure that every local television station can be received in its local market without requiring a cable subscriber to switch between cable and off-air signals, the FCC allows every full-power television broadcast station to require that all local cable systems and direct broadcast satellite transmit that station's primary digital channel to their subscribers within the station's market (the so-called "must-carry" rule). Alternatively, a station may elect to forego its must-carry rights and seek a negotiated agreement to establish the terms of its carriage by a local MVPD—referred to as "retransmission consent." A station electing retransmission consent assumes the risk that it will not be able to strike a deal with the MPVD and will not be carried. A station has the opportunity to elect

137


Table of Contents

must-carry or retransmission consent every three years. Elections were made in October 2011 for the 2012-2014 three year period. WAPA PR elected retransmission consent and has entered into retransmission consent contracts with virtually all MVPD systems serving Puerto Rico.

        In March 2011, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") reviewing the retransmission consent rules. The NPRM requests comment on proposals to strengthen the good faith negotiation requirements and to require advance notice of the potential that a television station could be dropped from an MVPD's programming lineup. In a separate proceeding, the FCC has requested comment on whether the definition of MVPD should be expanded to include entities that make available multiple channels of video programming to subscribers through Internet connections. Both proceedings are pending, and we cannot predict what impact, if any, they will have on our negotiations with video programming distributors.

Broadcast Spectrum

        In February 2012, Congress passed and the President signed legislation that, among other things, grants the FCC authority to conduct a set of incentive auctions to recapture certain spectrum currently used by television broadcasters and repurpose it for other uses. On October 2, 2012, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to begin to develop the rules and procedures to implement incentive auctions authorized by Congress. That rulemaking process remains ongoing.

        The incentive auction process would have three components. First, the FCC would conduct a reverse auction by which each television broadcaster may choose to retain its rights to a 6 MHz channel of spectrum or volunteer, in return for payment, to relinquish all of the station's spectrum by surrendering its license; relinquishing the right to some of its spectrum and thereafter share spectrum with another station; or modifying its UHF channel license to a VHF channel license.

        Second, in order to accommodate the spectrum reallocated to new users, the FCC will "repack" the remaining television broadcast spectrum, which may require certain television stations that did not participate in the reverse auction to modify their transmission facilities, including requiring such stations to operate on other channel designations. The FCC is authorized to reimburse stations for reasonable relocation costs up to a total across all stations of $1.75 billion. In addition, Congress directed the FCC, when repacking to television broadcast spectrum, to make reasonable efforts to preserve a station's coverage area and population served. In addition, the FCC is prohibited from requiring a station to move involuntarily from the UHF band, the band in which WAPA PR's broadcast licenses operate, to the VHF band or from the high VHF band to the low VHF band.

        Third, the FCC would conduct a forward auction of the relinquished spectrum to new users. The FCC must complete the reverse auction and the forward auction by September 30, 2022.

        The outcome of the incentive auction and repacking of broadcast television spectrum, or the impact of such items on WAPA PR's business, cannot be predicted.

EEO Rules

        The FCC's Equal Employment Opportunity ("EEO") rules impose job information dissemination, recruitment, documentation and reporting requirements on broadcast television stations. Broadcasters are also subject to random audits to ensure compliance with the FCC's EEO rules and may be sanctioned for noncompliance.

Recordkeeping

        The FCC rules require broadcast television stations to maintain various records regarding operations, including equipment performance records and a log of the station's operating parameters. Television stations must also maintain a public inspection file, portions of which are hosted on an

138


Table of Contents

FCC-maintained website. This file must contain various records, including the station license, FCC applications, contour maps, ownership reports, political broadcasting records, EEO public file reports, a copy of the manual "The Public and Broadcasting", correspondence from the public, material regarding FCC investigations or complaints, issues/programs lists, children's television programming reports; records concerning compliance with commercial limits in children's programming, time brokerage agreements and joint sales agreements, statements of must-carry/retransmission elections.

Broadcast Localism

        In 2007, the FCC issued a Report on Broadcast Localism and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the "Localism Report"). The Localism Report tentatively concluded that broadcast stations should be required to have regular meetings with permanent local advisory boards to ascertain the needs and interests of their communities. The Localism Report also tentatively adopted specific renewal application processing guidelines that would require broadcasters to air a minimum amount of local programming. The Localism Report sought public comment on two additional rule changes that would impact television broadcasters. These rule changes would restrict a broadcaster's ability to locate a station's main studio outside the community of license and the right to operate a station remotely. To date, the FCC has not issued a decision adopting rules to implement any of the initiatives in the Localism Report, and it cannot be predicted whether or when the FCC might act to codify any such initiatives.

Programming and Operations

        Rules and policies of the FCC and other federal agencies regulate certain programming practices and other areas affecting the business or operations of broadcast stations, including WAPA PR, and cable networks, including WAPA America and Cinelatino.

        Obscenity, Indecency and Profanity.    Federal statutes prohibit the broadcast or transmission of obscene material at any time by broadcast television stations, including the WAPA PR stations or on cable networks, including WAPA America and Cinelatino. The FCC's rules also prohibit television stations, including the WAPA PR stations, from broadcasting indecent or profane material between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. In recent years, the FCC has intensified its enforcement activities with respect to programming it considers indecent and has issued numerous fines to licensees found to have violated the indecency rules.

        In July 2007, the FCC implemented increased forfeiture amounts for indecency violations that were enacted by Congress. The maximum permitted fine for an indecency violation is $325,000 per incident and $3,000,000 for any continuing violation arising from a single act or failure to act.

        Because the FCC may investigate indecency complaints on an ex parte basis, a licensee may not have knowledge of an indecency complaint unless and until the complaint results in the issuance of a formal FCC letter of inquiry or notice of apparent liability for forfeiture. In July 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision finding that the FCC's indecency standard was too vague for broadcasters to interpret and therefore inconsistent with the First Amendment. In June 2011, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in this case. In June 2012, the Supreme Court issued a decision which held that the FCC could not fine ABC and FOX (two television networks that were fined for airing allegedly indecent material) for the specific broadcasts at issue because the FCC had not provided them with sufficient notice of its intent to issue fines for the use of fleeting expletives or momentary nudity. However, the Supreme Court did not make any substantive ruling regarding the FCC's current indecency policies. The result of this decision on the FCC's indecency enforcement practices remains unclear, and the FCC has not issued any decisions regarding indecency enforcement since the Supreme Court's decision was issued.

        Children's Programming.    Federal statutes and FCC rules require broadcast television stations, including the WAPA PR stations, to broadcast three hours per week of educational and informational programming ("E/I programming") designed for children 16 years of age and younger. FCC rules also require television stations to air E/I programming on each additional digital multicast program stream broadcast, with the requirement increasing in proportion to the additional hours of free programming offered on multicast channels.

        Federal statutes and FCC rules also limit the amount and content of commercial matter that may be included in programming primarily produced and carried for children 12 years and younger by broadcast television stations and cable networks, including WAPA America and Cinelatino. The FCC's rules also limit the display, during children's programming on broadcast stations and cable networks, of Internet addresses of websites that contain or link to commercial material or that use program characters to sell products. In October 2009, the FCC issued a Notice of Inquiry ("Children's NOI") seeking comment on a broad range of issues related to children's usage of electronic media and the current regulatory landscape that governs the availability of electronic media to children. The Children's NOI remains pending, and it cannot be predicted what recommendations or further action, if any, will result from it.

        Some U.S. policymakers have sought limitations on food and beverage marketing in media popular with children and teens. In April 2011, the Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children, which is comprised of the Federal Trade Commission, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, jointly requested comment on proposed nutritional restrictions for food and beverage marketing directed to children and teens aged 17 years and under. Although the proposed guidelines are nominally voluntary, if these or other similar guidelines are implemented by food and beverage marketers, they could have a negative impact WAPA PR and WAPA America's advertising revenues.

        Commercial Loudness.    The 2010 Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act ("CALM Act") and the FCC rules implementing the CALM Act, require television stations, cable television operators, satellite television providers, and other pay television providers to limit the average volume of commercials, including promotional announcements, to the same average volume as the programming it accompanies. The FCC rules do not specifically require video programming providers, such as WAPA America or Cinelatino, to comply with the rules regarding the loudness of commercials. However, video programming distributors may request or require by contract that programming providers certify compliance with those rules for commercials embedded in programming.

        Closed Captioning.    FCC rules require the majority of programming broadcast by television stations and carried on cable networks to contain closed captions. In January 2012, the FCC adopted rules to require that television programming broadcast by television stations, including the WAPA PR stations, or transmitted by cable, including on WAPA America or Cinelatino, with captioning include captioning if subsequently made available online, for example, by streaming on WAPA.TV. These rules are being phased-in over a 12 month period that began in September 2012.

        Sponsorship Identification.    Both the Communications Act and the FCC's rules generally require that, when payment or other consideration has been received or promised to a broadcast television station for the airing of program material, the station must disclose that fact and identify who paid or promised to provide the consideration at the time of broadcast. Cable systems are subject to the same requirement when the system is originating programming, also known as cablecasting. In June 2008 the FCC sought comments on whether it should adopt additional regulations with respect to sponsorship identification requirements on cable programmers. That proceeding remains pending.

140

Local Cable Regulation

        Cable television systems, including those that carry WAPA PR, WAPA America, and Cinelatino, are regulated by municipalities or other local or state government authorities which have the jurisdiction to grant and to assign franchises, and to negotiate generally the terms and conditions of such franchises, including rates for basic service charged to subscribers, except to the extent that such jurisdiction is preempted by federal law. Any such rate regulation could place downward pressure on the potential subscriber fees WAPA PR, WAPA America, and Cinelatino can earn.

Program Access Restrictions

        Under the Communications Act, vertically integrated cable programmers are generally prohibited from offering different prices, terms, or conditions to competing multichannel video programming distributors unless the differential is justified by certain permissible factors set forth in the FCC's regulations. The FCC's "program access" rules previously limited the ability of a vertically integrated cable programmer to enter into exclusive distribution arrangements with cable television operators. However, in 2012, the FCC declined to extend the exclusive contract prohibition section of the program access rules beyond its October 5, 2012 sunset date. A cable programmer is considered to be vertically integrated if it owns or is owned by a cable television operator, in whole or in part, under the FCC's program access attribution rules. Cable television operators for this purpose may include telephone companies that provide video programming directly to subscribers. Any holdings of cable television operators by shareholders, officers, and directors of Hemisphere may be attributable to Hemisphere, and therefore could have the effect of making WAPA America and Cinelatino subject to the program access rules, which could adversely affect the flexibility to negotiate the most favorable terms available for their content and the ability to offer cable television operators exclusive programming.

Regulation of the Internet

        Internet services, including WAPA.TV and CINELATINO.COM, are subject to regulation in the U.S. relating to the privacy and security of personally identifiable user information and acquisition of personal information from children under 13, including the federal Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM). In addition, a majority of states have enacted laws that impose data security and security breach obligations. Additional federal, state, territorial laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet or other online services, covering such issues as user privacy, child safety, data security, advertising, pricing, content, copyrights and trademarks, access by persons with disabilities, distribution, taxation and characteristics and quality of products and services.

Other Regulations

        In addition to the regulations applicable to the broadcast, cable television and Internet industries in general, Hemisphere will also be subject to various federal, state, territorial, and local regulations, including, without limitation, regulations promulgated by federal, state, and territorial environmental, health and labor agencies. Cinelatino is also subject to laws and regulations that may be adopted or promulgated by the governments of other jurisdictions in which it operates.

Record Date; Outstanding Shares and Public Warrants Entitled to Vote

        The Azteca Board has fixed March 10, 2013, as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, as the record date for each of the special meetings, or the record date. If you were a holder of record of shares of Azteca common stock at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to vote your Azteca shares of common stock held on the record date at the special meeting. If you were a holder of record of Public Warrants at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to notice of and to vote/consent at the special meeting of warrantholders.

        As of the record date, 12,500,000 shares of Azteca common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting of stockholders and 10,000,000 Public Warrants were outstanding.

Ownership of Azteca Shares and Public Warrants

        If your Azteca shares are registered directly in your name with Azteca's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those Azteca shares, the "stockholder of record." This proxy statement/prospectus and the enclosed proxy card have been sent directly to you by Azteca. If your Azteca shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of Azteca shares held in "street name." This proxy statement/prospectus has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered, with respect to those Azteca shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner of Azteca shares held in street name, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your Azteca shares by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing or by following their instructions for voting by telephone or the Internet.

        If your Azteca warrants are registered directly in your name with Azteca's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those Azteca warrants, the "warrantholder of record." This proxy statement/prospectus and the enclosed proxy card have been sent directly to you by Azteca. If your Azteca warrants are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of Azteca warrants held in "street name." This proxy statement/prospectus has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered, with respect to those Azteca warrants, the warrantholder of record. As the beneficial owner of Azteca warrants held in street name, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your Azteca warrants by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing or by following their instructions for voting by telephone or the Internet.

Quorum at the Special Meeting of Stockholders

        In order to transact business at the special meeting of stockholders, a quorum of Azteca stockholders must be present. A quorum will exist if holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Azteca common stock entitled to vote on a matter are present in person, or represented by proxy, at the special meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, the presence at the Azteca special meeting of stockholders, either in person or by proxy, of holders of at least 6,250,001 shares of Azteca common stock will be required to establish a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the special meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, pending stockholder approval, to a later date. Broker non-votes will count in determining a quorum.

        Holders of shares of Azteca common stock present in person at the special meeting of stockholders but not voting, and shares of Azteca common stock for which Azteca has received proxies

indicating that their holders have abstained, will be counted as present at the special meeting of stockholders for purposes of determining whether a quorum is established.

Vote Required for Stockholder Proposals

        Under the DGCL and Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Azteca common stock is required to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

        The affirmative vote of at least a majority of votes cast by the Azteca stockholders who are present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the applicable matter is required to:

        Because approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of Azteca common stock as of the record date, if you mark "abstain" or fail to vote on the proposed business combination, it will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. If you mark "abstain" with respect to the adjournment, it will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" that proposal. With respect to the adjournment proposal, (i) if you are the record holder and fail to vote, or (ii) if you are the beneficial owner and fail to instruct your broker or other nominee on how to vote, your Azteca shares will not be voted, and will have no impact on the approval of the proposal.

Vote Required for Warrantholder Proposals

        The approval of the Warrant Amendment Proposal requires the written consent of the registered holders of at least 65% of Public Warrants issued and outstanding as of the record date. Your vote in favor of the Warrant Amendment Proposal will be deemed to be your written consent to the proposed amendments to the Warrant Agreement.

        If you fail to vote in person or by proxy with respect to any Azteca warrants for which you are the record owner or fail to instruct your broker or other nominee on how to vote the Azteca warrants you hold in street name with respect to the Warrant Amendment Proposal, your Azteca warrants will not be voted, or treated as present at the special meeting of warrantholders and entitled to vote, on the Warrant Amendment Proposal, and as such, your failure to vote or to instruct your broker or nominee how to vote will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the approval and adoption of the Warrant Amendment Proposal. If the Warrant Amendment Proposal does not receive the necessary votes for approval, then Azteca may adjourn or postpone the warrantholder meeting to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies, subject to the approval of a majority of the warrantholders deemed present.

Recommendation of the Azteca Board with respect to the Stockholder Proposals

        Proposal No. 1:    The Azteca Board unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder are advisable, fair and in the best interests of Azteca and its stockholders and unanimously approved the Merger Agreement. The Azteca Board recommends that the stockholders of Azteca vote "FOR" the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

        Proposal No. 2:    The Azteca Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders of Azteca vote "FOR" the adjournment of the special meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes at the special meeting to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

Recommendation of the Azteca Board with respect to the Warrantholder Proposals

        Proposal No. 1:    The Azteca Board unanimously determined that the Warrant Amendment is in the best interests of Azteca and its warrantholders and unanimously approved the Warrant Amendment and unanimously recommends that Public Warrantholders vote or instruct that their vote be cast "FOR" the Warrant Amendment Proposal;

        Proposal No. 2:    The Azteca Board unanimously recommends that the warrantholders of Azteca vote "FOR" the adjournment of the special meeting of warrantholders to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in favor of the Warrant Amendment Proposal.

Voting by Azteca's Directors, Executive Officers and Initial Stockholders

        As of the record date, Azteca's directors and executive officers and certain of their affiliates beneficially owned 2,500,000 shares of Azteca common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting of stockholders. This represents approximately 20% of the total votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting of stockholders. Each Azteca director and executive officer and certain of their affiliates have indicated his or her present intention to vote, or cause to be voted, the shares of Azteca common stock owned by him or her for the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote all the shares they own in favor of the Transaction. The Azteca Initial Stockholders own approximately 20% of Azteca's outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if Azteca's directors, officers and initial stockholders agreed to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by Azteca's public stockholders.

of shares and/or warrants held in street name, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee and present it to the inspectors of election with your ballot when you vote at the meeting.

Attending the Special Meetings

        All Azteca stockholders as of the record date may attend the special meeting of stockholders and all Azteca warrantholders as of the record date may attend the special meeting of warrantholders. If you are a beneficial owner of Azteca shares and/or warrants held in street name, you may request to attend the applicable meeting by writing to Azteca Acquisition Corporation, 421 N. Beverly Drive, Suite 3001, Beverly Hills, California 90210. You must provide evidence of your ownership of Azteca shares and/or warrants, as applicable, which you can obtain from your broker, banker or nominee.

Voting of Proxies

        If you vote by Internet, telephone or by completing, signing, dating and mailing your proxy card or voting instruction card, your Azteca shares and/or warrants will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you are a stockholder of record and you sign, date and return your proxy card but do not indicate how you want to vote or do not indicate that you wish to abstain, your Azteca shares will be voted "FOR" the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and "FOR" the approval of the adjournment proposal. If you are a warrantholder of record and you sign, date and return your proxy card but do not indicate how you want to vote or do not indicate that you wish to abstain, your Azteca warrants will be voted "FOR" the approval and adoption of the Warrant Amendment Proposal and "FOR" the approval of the adjournment proposal.

Voting of Azteca Shares and Warrants Held in Street Name

        Azteca stockholders who hold shares of Azteca common stock in a brokerage account or through a bank, broker or other nominee (referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as "street name" stockholders) who wish to vote at the special meeting of stockholders should be provided a voting instruction card by the institution that holds their Azteca shares. Azteca warrantholders who hold Azteca warrants in a brokerage account or through a bank, broker or other nominee (referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as "street name" warrantholders) who wish to vote at the special meeting of warrantholders should be provided a voting instruction card by the institution that holds their Azteca warrants. If this has not occurred, contact the institution that holds your Azteca shares and/or warrants, as applicable.

        A number of banks and brokerage firms participate in a program that also permits stockholders and warrantholders whose Azteca shares and/or warrants are held in "street name" to direct their vote by telephone or over the Internet. If your Azteca shares and/or warrants are held in an account at a bank or brokerage firm that participates in such a program, you may direct the vote of these Azteca shares and/or warrants by telephone or over the Internet by following the voting instructions enclosed with the proxy form from the bank or brokerage firm. The Internet and telephone proxy procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders'/warrantholders' identities, to allow stockholders/warrantholders to give their proxy voting instructions and to confirm that those instructions have been properly recorded. Votes directed by telephone or over the Internet through such a program must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 3, 2013. Directing the voting of your Azteca shares and/or warrants will not affect your right to vote in person if you decide to attend the applicable special meeting; however, you must first obtain a signed and properly executed legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee to vote your Azteca shares and/or warrants held in "street name" at the applicable special meeting. Requesting a legal proxy prior to the deadline described above will automatically cancel any voting directions you have previously given by telephone or over the Internet with respect to your Azteca shares and/or warrants.

Revoking your Proxy

        If you are a stockholder and/or warrantholder of record you can revoke your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the applicable special meeting. You can do this in one of three ways:

        If you choose either of the first two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy no later than the beginning of the applicable special meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of Azteca shares and/or warrants held in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or nominee. You may also vote in person at the applicable special meeting if you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee and present it to the inspectors of election with your ballot when you vote at the applicable special meeting.

Proxy Solicitations

        Azteca is soliciting proxies for the special meetings from Azteca stockholders and Public Warrantholders. Azteca will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from Azteca stockholders and warrantholders, except that Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino have agreed to bear 50%, 31% and 19%, respectively, of the costs incurred in connection with the printing and mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to this mailing, Azteca's directors, officers and employees (who will not receive any additional compensation for such services) may solicit proxies by telephone or in-person meeting.

        Azteca has also engaged the services of Morrow & Co., LLC, to assist in the solicitation and distribution of the proxies, for an initial fee of $12,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses. Azteca will pay Morrow & Co., LLC an additional fee of $27,500 upon successful completion of the Transaction.

        Azteca will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials the beneficial owners of Azteca common stock.

Other Business

        The Azteca Board is not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the special meetings.

Adjournments and Postponements

        Adjournments or postponements may be made for the purpose of, among other things, soliciting additional proxies. One or more adjournments may be made from time to time with the approval of a majority of the votes cast by the Azteca stockholders or warrantholders, as the case may be, in person at the applicable special meeting or represented by proxy at the time of the vote. Azteca is not required to notify stockholders or warrantholders of one or more adjournments if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.

        In addition, at any time prior to convening the special meeting of stockholders, the special meeting of stockholders may be postponed without the approval of Azteca stockholders. If postponed, Azteca will publicly announce a new meeting date. Similarly, at any time prior to convening the special meeting of warrantholders, the special meeting of warrantholders may be postponed without the approval of Public Warrantholders. If postponed, Azteca will publicly announce a new meeting date.

        At any adjourned or postponed meeting, Azteca may transact any business that it might have transacted at the original meeting, provided that a quorum is present at such adjourned or postponed meeting. Proxies submitted by Azteca stockholders and/or warrantholders, as applicable, for use at the special meeting will be used at one or more adjournments or postponement of the meeting. References to the special meetings in this proxy statement/prospectus are to the special meetings as adjourned or postponed.

PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE AZTECA STOCKHOLDERS

PROPOSAL NO. 1—APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT

        As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Azteca is asking its stockholders to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement. Azteca stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part. Please see the section entitled "The Agreements—Description of the Merger Agreement" beginning on page 172 for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the entire Merger Agreement before voting on this proposal.

        Approval of this proposal is a condition to the completion of the Transaction. If the proposal is not approved, the Transaction will not occur.

Vote Required for Approval

        The Merger Agreement will be approved and adopted if the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Azteca common stock vote "FOR" this proposal.

        As of the record date, Azteca's directors and executive officers and certain of their affiliates beneficially owned 2,500,000 shares of Azteca common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. This represents approximately 20% of the total votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting. Each Azteca director and executive officer and certain of their affiliates have indicated his or her present intention to vote, or cause to be voted, the shares of Azteca common stock owned by him or her for the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, as well as any Public Shares purchased during or after the initial public offering, in favor of the Transaction. The Azteca Initial Stockholders own approximately 20% of Azteca's outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if Azteca's directors, officers and initial stockholders agreed to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by Azteca's public stockholders.

Recommendation of the Azteca Board

        THE AZTECA BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THE AZTECA STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.


PROPOSAL NO. 2—ADJOURNMENT OF SPECIAL MEETING

        Azteca is requesting the Azteca stockholders' approval on a proposal to adjourn the Azteca special meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes at the special meeting to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

Vote Required for Approval

        The vote to adjourn the Azteca special meeting, if necessary, to permit the further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes at the special meeting to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement will be approved if at least a majority of the votes cast by the Azteca stockholders who are present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on this proposal vote "FOR" this proposal.

Recommendation of the Azteca Board

        THE AZTECA BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT AZTECA STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO PERMIT FURTHER SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES AT THE SPECIAL MEETING TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE MERGER AGREEMENT.


PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE PUBLIC WARRANTHOLDERS

        The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Warrant Amendment. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Amendment, the form of which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference. You should read the Warrant Amendment in its entirety, as it is the legal document governing the matters discussed below.

        In connection with the proposed Transaction, Public Warrantholders are being asked to approve and consent to an amendment to the terms of the Warrant Agreement that will (1) reduce by 50% the number of shares of Azteca common stock for which the Azteca warrants will be exercisable (from one share to half of one share), with the warrant price being proportionately reduced to $6.00 per half-share, (2) waive certain re-pricing rights that the Azteca Warrantholder would have had, if after consummation of the Transaction, Azteca subsequently entered into certain merger or sale transactions in which the consideration to be received consisted principally of securities of a private company (the "warrant re-pricing rights") and (3) amend Azteca's registration obligation in exchange for the ability to exercise the warrants on a cashless basis at the election of Azteca under certain circumstances. Upon effectiveness of the Warrant Amendment (at the closing of the Transaction), each warrantholder would receive $0.50 per warrant. Approval of the Warrant Amendment is a condition to consummation of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not completed, the Warrant Amendment will not become effective, even if warrantholders have approved the Warrant Amendment. Upon consummation of the Transaction, each Amended Azteca Warrant will be converted into an equal number of Hemisphere warrants and will be exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on the same terms as were in effect with respect to such Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

        The principal effect of the Warrant Amendment will be to reduce the number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants by half, thereby reducing the amount by which Hemisphere stockholders would otherwise have been diluted as a result of the exercise in full of the warrants. In addition, the Warrant Amendment will:

149


Table of Contents

        Other than as set forth above, the terms of the Azteca warrants will remain essentially the same. Both the Public Warrants and the Sponsor Warrants will be amended pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, and both the Public Warrants and the Sponsor Warrants will be treated the same for purposes of the Warrant Amendment.

        The following is a summary of the material tax consequences in the event Hemisphere requires the Public Warrantholders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-free, either because the exercise is not a gain recognition event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-free situation, a Public Warrantholder's basis in the common stock received would equal the holder's basis in the warrant to acquire Hemisphere Class A common stock. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a gain recognition event, a warrantholder's holding period in the Hemisphere Class A common stock would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise of the warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Hemisphere Class A common stock would include the holding period of the warrant. It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a Public Warrantholder could be deemed to have surrendered warrants equal to the number of common shares having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of warrants to be exercised. The Public Warrantholder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the warrants deemed surrendered to pay the exercise price and such Public Warrantholder's tax basis in such warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a warrantholder's tax basis in the Hemisphere Class A common stock received would equal the sum of the fair market value of the warrants deemed surrendered to pay the exercise price and the holder's tax basis in the warrants exercised. A warrantholder's holding period for the common stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise of the warrant. Due to the absence of authority as to the federal income tax treatment of a warrantholder making a cashless exercise, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences described above, or of other possible characterizations of a cashless exercise, would be adopted by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of law. Accordingly, Public Warrantholders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of making a cashless exercise of their Public Warrants.

        Azteca believes the consummation of the Warrant Amendment and the payment of the Cash Amount will provide benefits to Azteca and its warrantholders. For example, Azteca believes that the Warrant Amendment and the payment of the Cash Amount are important to the consummation of the Transaction because reduction of the outstanding warrants in Hemisphere's capital structure following the consummation of the Transaction will increase Hemisphere's strategic opportunities and

150


Table of Contents

attractiveness to future investors. Azteca believes that the reduction in the number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants due to the Warrant Amendment will result in an increase in value to holders of Azteca common stock that will otherwise offset the impact of payment of the Cash Amount.

        If the Warrant Amendment Proposal is not approved at the special meeting of warrantholders, the Transaction proposal will not be presented to Azteca stockholders for a vote. If Azteca is unable to consummate the Transaction by April 6, 2013, it will be required to liquidate and all Azteca warrants will expire worthless.

        The approval of the Warrant Amendment Proposal is a condition to consummate the Transaction. However, if the parties do not complete the Transaction, they will not enter into the Warrant Amendment, even if warrantholders have approved the Warrant Amendment.

        At the special meeting of warrantholders, holders of Public Warrants will also be asked to approve a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting of warrantholders to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Warrant Amendment Proposal. This is referred to herein as the Warrantholder Adjournment Proposal. This proposal will only be presented at the special meeting of warrantholders if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Warrant Amendment Proposal.

        Azteca, Hemisphere and the Warrant Agent will enter into the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment of Warrant Agreement upon the consummation of the Transaction to effect the Warrant Amendment, upon its approval by the warrantholders, and to permit Azteca to assign to Hemisphere all of its right, title and interest in the Warrant Agreement and permit Hemisphere to assume all of Azteca's liabilities and obligations under the Warrant Agreement. See "The Agreements—Additional Agreements—The Assignment, Assumption and Amendment of Warrant Agreement."

Certain Effects of the Approval of the Warrant Amendment Proposal

        If the Warrant Amendment Proposal is approved and the Transaction is consummated, warrants will be subject to the terms of the Warrant Amendment whether or not a given holder voted in favor of the Warrant Amendment Proposal.

        Public Warrantholders should note that there may be income tax consequences in connection with the Warrant Amendment. For a discussion of the tax consequences of the Warrant Amendment, please see the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Procedure for Exchanging Warrants

        Payment of the Cash Amount will be made by the exchange agent upon the presentation and surrender of the warrants for payment at any time after the date on which the Transaction is consummated. As soon as reasonably practicable after the consummation of the Transaction, the exchange agent will, upon receipt of any documents as may be reasonably required by the exchange agent, deliver the warrant consideration to the holders of Azteca warrants. To physically surrender warrants for exchange, holders should deliver their warrants in certificated form to the exchange agent at the address specified in the letter of transmittal.

Vote Required for Approval

        Pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Warrant Agreement, Azteca and the warrant agent may amend the Warrant Agreement with the consent of the holders of at least 65% of the outstanding public warrants.

Recommendation of the Azteca Board

        THE AZTECA BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THE AZTECA PUBLIC WARRANTHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE WARRANT AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.

THE TRANSACTION

        The following is a description of certain material aspects of the Transaction. While we believe that the following description covers the material terms of the Transaction, the description may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. The discussion of the Transaction in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. Azteca encourages you to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the Merger Agreement, for a more complete understanding of the Transaction.

General Description of the Transaction

        Cinelatino incorporated Hemisphere, as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinelatino. Cinelatino and Hemisphere have also formed Hemisphere Media Holdings, LLC ("Holdco") and Holdco has formed Azteca Merger Sub, WAPA Merger Sub and Cine Merger Sub as direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdco.

        Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Azteca Merger Sub will be merged with and into Azteca, WAPA Merger Sub will be merged with and into WAPA and Cine Merger Sub will be merged with and into Cinelatino. Upon consummation of the Transaction, Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino will each become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere. In connection with the Transaction:

Table of Contents

        Upon consummation of the Transaction, the funds then held in the Azteca Trust Account will be released to Azteca as promptly as practicable (less any fees paid to the trustee or to third parties who rendered services to Azteca in connection with the Transaction, amounts paid to stockholders who exercise their redemption rights, amounts released as deferred underwriting compensation or amounts paid for filings or other action required under the Merger Agreement).

        WAPA and Cinelatino are affiliated companies by virtue of InterMedia Partners VII, L.P.'s ownership interests in each company. InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. directly holds 100% of the economic interests in WAPA and indirectly holds 47.5% of the common stock of Cinelatino through its controlling interest in InterMedia Cine Latino, LLC.

Background of the Transaction

        The terms of the Merger Agreement are the result of negotiations between the management and representatives of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the Transaction and related transactions.

153


Table of Contents

        Azteca is a blank check company formed in the British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011 and reincorporated in the state of Delaware on June 8, 2011 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

        Prior to the consummation of its initial public offering, neither Azteca, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to such a transaction with any third party. During the period from the completion of its public offering to December 2012, Azteca management evaluated over 80 potential transactions and entered into confidentiality agreements with 22 potential targets. The targets ranged across industries and segments, including transportation, manufacturing, retail, restaurants, oil and gas, technology and media. Azteca met with various representatives of these potential target businesses, including management, boards, advisors, representatives and lawyers. Furthermore, Azteca entered into preliminary and non-binding discussions with potential targets regarding structure and valuation. Prior to the time that Azteca's board approved the Merger Agreement, Azteca had not proceeded as far as delivering an indicative term sheet to any company and the Board did not consider any of the other potential transactions to be a viable alternative to the Transaction as the combination of business prospects, strategy, management teams and valuation were not as attractive.

        On September 6, 2011, Alan Sokol, by way of a mutual relationship, contacted Clive Fleissig, co-CFO of Azteca, to discuss whether Azteca would have interest in exploring a potential business combination with WAPA and Cinelatino. Mr. Fleissig responded that Azteca was interested.

        On September 22, 2011, Mr. Sokol informed Mr. Fleissig that WAPA and Cinelatino had decided to retain a financial advisor to assist in conducting a more formal process for their sale. In late January, 2012, WAPA and Cinelatino retained Morgan Stanley to act as their financial advisor in connection with a formal sale process.

        On September 28, 2011, Azteca and InterMedia Partners, L.P. ("InterMedia") signed a mutual non-disclosure agreement to facilitate Azteca's review of a possible business combination with WAPA and Cinelatino (the "NDA").

        On April 9, 2012, a representative of Morgan Stanley sent a brief information package with regard to WAPA and Cinelatino to Gabriel Brener, Chairman and CEO of Azteca. The brief information package included a concise two-to-three page summary of each of WAPA and Cinelatino and their respective businesses.

        On April 19, 2012, Azteca engaged Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as its financial advisor, to provide preliminary views of potential business combination targets that met its criteria. This agreement was amended on January 10, 2013.

        During the period from September 2011 through September 2012, Azteca's management continued to evaluate potential transactions and meet with various representatives of those potential target businesses.

        Mr. Sokol initiated a telephone call to Mr. Fleissig on September 21, 2012, wherein Mr. Fleissig again expressed interest in Azteca specifically pursuing further discussions with WAPA and Cinelatino. During that discussion, Mr. Sokol advised Mr. Fleissig that InterMedia was willing to continue negotiations on an exclusive basis.

        On September 25, 2012, a representative of Azteca received Confidential Information Memoranda on WAPA and Cinelatino from Morgan Stanley. The Confidential Information Memorandum for WAPA included a discussion of WAPA's business, a summary of WAPA's sales and marketing, a summary of WAPA's facilities, management and employees, an overview of the Puerto Rico broadcast television market, an overview of the Hispanic television market in the United States and comparisons of WAPA with Telemundo and Univision in the Puerto Rico television market as well as key strategies and growth opportunities for WAPA. The Confidential Information Memorandum for Cinelatino

154

included a discussion of Cinelatino's business, a summary of Cinelatino's management and employees, an overview of the Hispanic television market in the United States, an overview of the Latin American television market and an overview of the Spanish language film industry, as well as key strategies and growth opportunities for Cinelatino.

        On September 28, 2012, Azteca and InterMedia amended their NDA to reflect the then-current date.

        On October 18, 2012, John Engelman, director of Azteca, met with Messrs. Sokol and Kern. The parties discussed the business of WAPA and Cinelatino, the business plan of the companies, and the valuation and structure of a possible transaction between Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino. The parties discussed a structure in which the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors would be the majority shareholders of the combined company and the existing management of WAPA and Cinelatino would stay in place.

        On October 25, 2012, Messrs. Brener, Fleissig and Albán from Azteca, Messrs. Sokol and Fischer from InterMedia, and representatives from Morgan Stanley participated in a conference call to continue discussions about valuation and structure of a possible transaction between Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino. The items discussed on the call included an overview of the platform and strategy for WAPA and Cinelatino, an update on the performance of WAPA and Cinelatino year-to-date, InterMedia's perspectives on transaction structure, the proposed management team of the combined company, and Azteca's perspectives on public market trading values for the combined company. At the conclusion of the conversation, the parties agreed to continue discussions. Members of Azteca's management received access to on-line data rooms for WAPA and Cinelatino on the same day.

        Between October 25, 2012 and November 13, 2012, the parties continued discussions about valuation, structure and other key provisions of the Transaction. By this time, the basic transaction structure (i.e., a merger where the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors would receive a majority of the shares in the combined company) had been agreed. InterMedia was negotiating the amendments to the related party agreements with MVS and considering the most tax efficient structure for those equity holders. Azteca began reviewing and analyzing WAPA and Cinelatino's on-line data rooms.

        On November 14, 2012, Messrs. Fleissig and Albán from Azteca, Messrs. Stan Budeshtsky and John Shaw (who were employees of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. until September 2012), Messrs. Sokol and Fischer from InterMedia, a representative from Morgan Stanley, James McNamara, Chairman of Cinelatino, and Sandra Austin, Chief Financial Officer of Cinelatino, met in New York City to discuss the business and operations of Cinelatino. The discussions included a detailed presentation by Cinelatino's management covering business operations, including its history, current business, strategy, positioning, programming distribution and summary financial data.

        On November 15, 2012, Mr. Fleissig, Mr. Budeshtsky, Messrs. Sokol and Fischer, José E. Ramos, President and General Manager of WAPA, and other senior management personnel, including the Chief Financial Officer and Head of Sales of WAPA, met in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to discuss the business and operations of WAPA. The discussions included a management presentation by WAPA's management, covering the business operations of WAPA, including its history, current business, strategy, positioning, programming, sales and marketing, broadcast operations and distribution, and summary financial data. The meeting also included a tour of WAPA's facilities in San Juan as part of Azteca's on-going due diligence of WAPA.

        Beginning on November 23, 2012, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP began advising InterMedia in connection with the proposed Transaction.

        WAPA, Cinelatino and Azteca negotiated a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") setting forth a number of the key terms of a potential transaction. Specifically, the LOI provided for the acquisition by Azteca of 100% of the equity of WAPA and Cinelatino (but did not specify the structure such acquisition would take), that the Azteca Initial Stockholders would contribute 250,000 shares of Azteca common stock to Azteca for no consideration and agree to subject an additional 250,000 shares to

forfeiture if market prices did not reach certain levels, that Azteca would seek to acquire 50% of Azteca's outstanding Public Warrants for a price of $1.00 per warrant and that Azteca's Sponsor would sell half of its warrants to Azteca for a price of $1.00 per warrant. In addition, the LOI provided that WAPA and Cinelatino would, collectively, distribute $10 million to the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors, that the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors would receive a total of 33 million shares of the combined company, of which 3 million would be subject to forfeiture if market prices did not reach certain levels and that the combined company would issue warrants to the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors. The LOI also included provisions relating to a one year lock-up period for Azteca's Sponsor and the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors, registration rights for the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors, potential directors and management of the combined company, conditions to the closing of a potential transaction (specifically relating to the amount of available cash at closing and the restructuring of the number of outstanding Azteca warrants) and a proposed time frame in which to accomplish the transaction. The LOI was finalized and executed by Azteca on December 7, 2012, and by each of WAPA and Cinelatino's owners effective December 11, 2012. The economic and business terms of the letter of intent were non-binding, but the letter of intent included a binding agreement by WAPA and Cinelatino's owners to grant Azteca exclusivity with respect to a business combination for up to ninety days.

        Azteca retained Greenberg Traurig, LLP as legal counsel on December 6, 2012 to represent it in the transaction and conduct its legal due diligence. Prior to this retention, Azteca consulted with Greenberg Traurig, LLP regarding the letter of intent described above.

        On December 10, 2012, Azteca formally retained Mr. Stan Budeshtsky as a consultant to assist it with executing the Transaction, especially as it pertained to SPAC specific issues. Mr. Budeshtsky was a former employee of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and had been assisting Azteca on these matters prior to this retention.

        On December 10, 2012, Azteca formally retained Maxim Group LLC as a financial advisor to assist it with executing the Transaction, especially as it pertained to SPAC-specific issues. Mr. John Shaw, a managing director at Maxim Group LLC, was a former employee of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and had been assisting Azteca on these matters prior to this retention.

        On December 12, 2012, Messrs. Brener, Fleissig, Albán, Budeshtsky, Shaw, Hindery, Kern, Sokol and Fischer, met in New York City to continue discussions about the companies and the Transaction. The discussions focused on timing and key deliverables to announce the Transaction in mid-January and close by April 6.

        Between approximately December 12, 2012 and January 21, 2013, Rothstein Kass, a nationally recognized accounting firm, assisted Azteca's management with its financial due diligence of WAPA, Cinelatino and the potential Transaction.

        Between approximately December 19, 2012 and January 22, 2013, Azteca's financial advisors assisted Azteca's management with its continued review of WAPA and Cinelatino's business, operations, financial condition and prospects. While the LOI specified that Azteca would acquire 100% of the equity of WAPA and Cinelatino, it did not specify the structure such acquisition would take. The parties discussed whether such acquisition should take the form of a stock exchange with the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors or a merger with merger subsidiaries of Azteca. During the course of such discussions, the parties decided that the most tax efficient manner in which to structure the transaction would be for Hemisphere, a newly incorporated company, to form three merger subsidiaries and to have each of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino merge with such merger subsidiaries, with the merger consideration being shares of Hemisphere common stock.

        The LOI specified that Azteca would acquire 50% of the Public Warrants for a price of $1.00 per warrant, which would have resulted in an aggregate payment by Azteca to the holders of Public Warrants of $5.0 million. Such a structure would also have required Azteca to make a tender offer to all of its existing holders of Public Warrants. However, such a tender offer could have resulted in some holders of Public Warrants not tendering their Public Warrants and, therefore, not receiving any

156


Table of Contents

payment with respect to their Public Warrants. The parties determined that it would be more equitable to the holders of Public Warrants if they all received a payment for all of such warrants. Such determination resulted in the parties deciding to propose an amendment to the Warrant Agreement that would provide for a payment of $0.50 per Azteca Warrant. Such amendment would result in an aggregate payment to the holders of Public Warrants of $5.0 million, thereby keeping the economics unchanged, but allowing every holder of Public Warrants to receive a cash payment for their Public Warrants.

        During the course of the negotiations, the parties reviewed the terms of the existing Warrant Agreement and determined additional changes would be proposed which the parties believed would be beneficial to Hemisphere and, as to certain proposed changes, the holders of Public Warrants as well. Specifically, the parties agreed to propose additional amendments to the existing Warrant Agreement that would (i) permit holders of Public Warrants to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis beginning on the 31st day following the consummation of the Transaction in the event Hemisphere elects not to file an effective registration statement (which would allow holders to "tack" the time that they held the Hemisphere warrants to the time they held the Hemisphere Class A common stock and would be able to sell such shares pursuant to Rule 144) and (ii) eliminate the obligation to reduce the exercise price of the warrants if, after the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere entered into a merger, sale or similar transaction in which less than 70% of the consideration received by the holders of Hemisphere Class A common stock in the applicable event was payable in the form of common stock that was not, or would not be, listed for trading on a national securities exchange or on the OTC Bulletin Board (which would permit the warrants to be treated as equity rather than classified as liabilities that would be required by GAAP to be marked-to-market on a quarterly basis).

        On December 27, 2012, the parties exchanged the initial draft of the Merger Agreement.

        After December 27, 2012, the parties and their respective legal, accounting and financial advisors continued to exchange drafts of the Merger Agreement and related documents, and had numerous communications to discuss the terms therein, through January 22, 2013. During the course of the negotiations and exchanges of drafts, the parties negotiated the representations and warranties, closing conditions and other covenants contained in the Merger Agreement. The parties also negotiated the Warrant Amendment to reduce by half the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants in order to reduce the dilutive effects of the Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants and the potential negative impact such effects could have on the post-Transaction trading market of the shares of Hemisphere. The parties discussed and reached compromise with respect to who would be the post closing directors of Hemisphere, the manner in which transaction expenses would be shared, the contents of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Hemisphere, the manner in which the shares subject to forfeiture provisions would be treated and the terms of new lock up arrangements.

        On January 9, 2013, Greenberg Traurig, LLP provided a due diligence report to Azteca's management. The due diligence report provided a legal summary of the businesses of WAPA and Cinelatino, including a summary of the matters reviewed during the course of Greenberg Traurig, LLP's due diligence investigation. Azteca's management and Greenberg Traurig, LLP held a telephone conference to discuss the report's findings on the same day.

        On January 9, 2013, Azteca held a telephonic board meeting to discuss the Transaction. Each member of Azteca's board of directors was present. Messrs. Fleissig, Klip and Albán were also present from Azteca's management as were representatives from Greenberg Traurig, LLP and Azteca's financial advisors. The purpose of the meeting was for the Azteca Board to get an update and ask questions pertaining to the Transaction and its structure in addition to the value proposition of the Transaction. The value proposition involved the proposed enterprise value of the combined company and the resulting percentage ownership of the combined company which would be delivered to the owners of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino; the likely appeal to media investors of the combined company's revenues, operating leverage, margins and free cash profile; cable TV network companies as the closest

Table of Contents

public company peers to the combined company because of the combined company's ownership of two cable TV networks and WAPA's production of much of its own content; the high quality of Hemisphere's proposed management; and a compelling growth profile of the combined company relative to those peers because of favorable Hispanic population drivers, Hemisphere management's business plan, and potential acquisition opportunities.

        On January 14, 2013, Azteca held a telephonic board meeting with representatives of Greenberg Traurig, LLP and Azteca's financial advisors, at which time Azteca's board of directors unanimously approved the terms of the proposed Transaction and related actions subject to (i) the satisfactory resolution of the following open issues: that the merger consideration would include a cash component of $5 million, reduced from $10 million, so long as there were no further dividends paid by WAPA or Cinelatino; the cancellation of InterMedia's management agreement; the completion of amendments to the MVS agreements with Cinelatino; whether the Cinelatino stockholders other than InterMedia Cine Latino, LLC, would be getting shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock or Class A common stock; the limited ability to transfer Hemisphere Class B common stock as specified in Hemisphere's amended and restated certificate of incorporation; that the warrants being purchased by the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors would be exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock rather than shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock; and the determination as to which members of Hemisphere's board of directors to be designated by Cinelatino, InterMedia and Azteca would be independent; and (ii) the receipt and satisfactory review of Management's expected EBITDA for WAPA and Cinelatino for the year ended December 31, 2012 and management's budgeted EBITDA for Hemisphere for the year ended December 31, 2013.

        On January 22, 2013, the parties agreed on all remaining open terms of the Merger Agreement and related documents. The final open issues included final changes to the Warrant Amendment (including the exercise of all warrants into shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock), completion of amendments to the MVS agreements with Cinelatino and confirmation that the issues discussed by the Azteca Board on January 14, 2013 were concluded to Azteca's management's satisfaction (i.e., that the merger consideration would include a cash component of $5 million, that the owners of WAPA would all be getting shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock, the limited ability to transfer Hemisphere Class B common stock as specified in Hemisphere's proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the independence of the members of the board of directors to be designated by InterMedia and Azteca). On the same day, Azteca's management informed its board of directors of the results of these discussions, and stated that it did not believe the final forms of the Merger Agreement and related documents were materially different from what was discussed and approved during the January 14, 2013 meeting of Azteca's board of directors.

        On January 22, 2013, the parties and members of their respective legal, accounting and finance teams approved the Merger Agreement and related documents, and the parties executed the Merger Agreement and related documents. The parties allocated the number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to Azteca stockholders and Hemisphere Class B common stock to the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors based upon the relative valuations of the companies. In calculating those allocations, the parties considered that the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors were essentially rolling over their equity into the combined company and not being cashed out. As a result the Azteca Initial Stockholders agreed to contribute a total of 250,000 shares of Azteca common stock to Azteca for no consideration and to subject an additional 250,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to forfeiture if the market price of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock did not reach certain levels.

        The parties also discussed the possibility of issuing additional warrants or having the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors purchase certain Public Warrants in addition to issuing additional shares subject to forfeiture in order to offset the dilution that will be incurred by the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors. The Azteca Board was concerned about the immediate dilutive effect of issuing additional shares or warrants. The parties determined that the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors would receive an additional 3,000,000 shares, but that such shares would be subject to forfeiture if the market price of shares of

158


Table of Contents

Hemisphere Class A common stock did not reach certain levels. This would reduce the immediate dilutive effect of such shares and the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors would benefit from such shares only to the extent the market price of the Hemisphere Class A common stock reached certain levels.

        On January 22, 2013, a press release was issued announcing the Transaction and shortly thereafter Azteca filed a Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits thereto announcing Azteca's entry into the Merger Agreement.

        During the course of its deliberations on the Transaction, on January 9, 2013, Azteca's board received and considered information prepared by WAPA and Cinelatino's management with respect to WAPA and Cinelatino's estimated adjusted 2012 EBITDA and estimated adjusted 2013 EBITDA. On January 21, 2013, Azteca's Board received an update to these projections after the amendments to the MVS related party agreements were finalized. Azteca's board was advised that estimated adjusted 2012 EBITDA would be approximately $34 million, before net revenues from political advertising of $4.9 million for the period, and estimated adjusted 2013 EBITDA would be approximately $43 million before estimated public Company and overhead costs for the period from the close of the transaction through the end of the year of $2.25 million. The material assumption underlying these estimates was a 26% growth rate in 2013 in WAPA and Cinelatino's EBITDA before political expenses, driven by growth in revenue drivers of advertising, subscription and retransmission revenues, as well as reductions in operating cost, as a result of amendments to the MVS related party agreements. Azteca's board considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction, but did not attach any specific significance to any particular factor, including the assumptions underlying these estimates. The Azteca Board's consideration of the Transaction was based on the cumulative analysis of all of the information that it received. However, individual directors may have given different weight to these estimates and the underlying material assumption.

        The Azteca Board was acutely aware of the impending requirement to liquidate Azteca if no business transaction could be consummated in connection with its decision to approve the Transaction with WAPA and Cinelatino. The Azteca Board had reviewed several alternative transactions and determined that the proposed Transaction with WAPA and Cinelatino was attractive enough that the Azteca stockholders should be given an opportunity to consider that Transaction prior to Azteca's termination date.

        The impending termination of Azteca had no impact on the Azteca Board's decision not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of Azteca have substantial media experience. Certain outside directors of Azteca were familiar with Cinelatino's Mexican operations. Azteca's advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions. Finally, Azteca's stockholders are substantially more sophisticated than many investors. Based on all of those factors, the Azteca Board had determined that a fairness opinion was neither necessary nor appropriate.

Recommendation of the Azteca Board; Reasons for the Transaction

        At a meeting held on January 14, 2013, the Azteca Board unanimously (i) approved the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (ii) determined that the terms of the Transaction are fair to, and in the best interests of, Azteca and its stockholders, (iii) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to Azteca stockholders for approval and adoption, (iv) recommended that Azteca stockholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and (v) declared the advisability of the Merger Agreement and the Azteca Merger. ACCORDINGLY, THE AZTECA BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT AZTECA STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING (IF IT IS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES TO APPROVE ADOPT THE MERGER AGREEMENT) .

        As described under "Background of the Transaction" above, the Azteca Board, in evaluating the Transaction, consulted with Azteca's management and legal and financial advisors and, in reaching its decision to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, considered a variety of factors weighing positively and negatively in connection with the Transaction. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the transactions, the Azteca Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its determination. The Azteca Board viewed its position as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of Azteca's reasons for the Transaction and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements."

        Azteca has been in search of a business combination partner since its initial public offering in July 2011. The Azteca Board believes that a business combination of WAPA, Cinelatino and Azteca presents an opportunity to increase stockholder value because the combined entity will be an attractive offering to public company investors as a pure play, independently-owned Hispanic media platform. The reasons in favor of the Transaction considered by the Azteca Board include, but are not limited to, the following:

160


Table of Contents

        The Azteca Board also considered the following potentially negative factors associated with the Transaction:

        The Azteca Board concluded, however, that the potentially negative factors associated with the Transaction were outweighed by the potential benefits of the Transaction, including the ability of Azteca's stockholders to either convert their shares into Hemisphere Class A common stock, or to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the cash balance in the Trust Account. This compares to Azteca's stockholders having only a right to a pro rata portion of the cash balance in the Trust Account upon liquidation of Azteca if the Azteca Board had disapproved the Transaction. The board also noted that the Azteca stockholders would have a substantial minority economic interest in the combined company (approximately 27%), that the warrantholders would receive a cash payment of $0.50 per warrant in exchange for a reduction in the number of outstanding warrants, and would continue to hold the remaining half of the warrants, and that the combined company would have at least $80.0 million in available cash from Azteca's trust account following the consummation of the Transaction (after giving effect to any redemptions by Azteca's stockholders, but before giving effect to cash payable pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, payment of the deferred underwriting fees payable to Azteca's underwriter in connection with its initial public offering and consulting fees due to certain of Azteca's consultants and advisors, transaction expenses and any cash contribution from WAPA or Cinelatino). Based on all of the above factors, the board determined that the terms of the Transaction were fair to, and in the best interests of, Azteca and its stockholders. The above discussion of the material factors considered by the

161


Table of Contents

Azteca Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but does set forth the principal factors considered by the Azteca Board.

        The comparable companies the Azteca Board reviewed were AMC Networks, Discovery Communications and Scripps Networks. These companies were selected by Azteca's financial advisors as having businesses most similar to Hemisphere's combined business.

        The enterprise value of Discovery Communications, Scripps Networks and AMC Networks were approximately $29.7 billion, $10.7 billion and $6.0 billion respectively, based on balance sheet data of such companies as of September 30, 2012. These compared to a pro forma enterprise value of $407 million for Hemisphere. The Azteca Board compared the estimated 2013 EBITDA growth of the companies, which showed 26% for Hemisphere (pro forma), and according to consensus estimates, 15% for AMC Networks, 13% for Discovery Communications and 8% for Scripps Networks. The Azteca Board also compared the estimated 2012 and 2013 EBITDA margins for each of the companies, which showed 41% for 2012 and 42% for 2013 with respect to Hemisphere (pro forma), 47% for 2012 and 46% for 2013 with respect to Discovery Communications, 45% for 2012 and 46% for 2013 with respect to Scripps Networks and 36% for 2012 and 37% for 2013 with respect to AMC Networks. The Azteca Board also compared the implied total enterprise value over estimated 2012 and 2013 EBITDA for Hemisphere (pro forma) with the total enterprise value over estimated 2012 and 2013 EBITDA for each of AMC Networks, Discovery Communications and Scripps Networks. This comparison showed an implied total enterprise value over estimated EBITDA of 10.4x for 2012 and 9.9x for 2013 with respect to Hemisphere (pro forma), 14.1x for 2012 and 12.5x for 2013 with respect to Discovery Communications, 12.4x for 2012 and 10.8x for 2013 with respect to AMC Networks and 10.2x for 2012 and 9.4x for 2013 with respect to Scripps Networks. The Azteca Board's comparison of Hemisphere to companies such as Discovery Communications, Scripps Networks and AMC Networks allowed the Azteca Board to conclude that Hemisphere's pro forma estimated EBITDA margins and pro forma implied total enterprise value over estimated EBITDA were comparable to similar benchmarks at such companies. More significantly, the Azteca Board was able to determine that because of the growth profile of Hemisphere's targeted business segment, pro forma estimated 2013 EBITDA growth was substantially higher than such benchmark companies. That analysis supported the Azteca Board's determination that the terms of the Transaction were fair to and in the best interests of Azteca and its stockholders.

        The Azteca Board decided not to obtain a fairness opinion in connection with the Transaction. The officers and directors of Azteca have substantial media experience. Alfredo Elias Ayub, an outside director of Azteca, was familiar with Cinelatino as a result of his service on the board of directors of another company with a member of the Vargas Guajardo family. Azteca's advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions. Finally, Azteca's stockholders are substantially more sophisticated than many investors. Based on all of those factors, the Azteca Board had determined that a fairness opinion was neither necessary nor appropriate.

Consequences to Azteca if the Merger agreement Is Not Approved and Adopted

        If the Azteca Merger proposal is not approved and adopted by the Azteca stockholders, if required regulatory approvals are denied or delayed or certain other closing conditions are not met and are not waived, the Transaction will not occur. In addition, If Azteca does not complete the Transaction or any other business combination by April 6, 2013, Azteca will automatically dissolve and liquidate. In any liquidation, the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $50,000 of such net interest that may be released to Azteca from the Trust Account to pay liquidation expenses, will be distributed pro rata to Azteca public stockholders and Azteca will be dissolved in accordance with the Azteca's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The Azteca Initial Stockholders have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to their Founder Shares and any Public Shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of a business combination.

Azteca's Financial Advisors

        Azteca engaged Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., or Deutsche Bank and Maxim Group LLC as its financial advisors to assist with the Transaction. In addition, Azteca engaged Stan Budeshtsky as a consultant to assist with the Transaction.

        Deutsche Bank is entitled to reimbursement from Azteca of certain of its expenses in connection with its engagement as Azteca's financial advisor. The Azteca Board did not request, and therefore will not receive, a fairness opinion from Deutsche Bank in connection with the Transaction. For more information, please refer to "Risk Factors—Risk Factors Relating to Azteca—The Azteca Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Transaction" on page 46. Deutsche Bank served as sole underwriter of Azteca's initial public offering and Azteca paid to Deutsche Bank underwriting discounts and commissions equal to approximately $1,750,000 upon consummation of the initial public offering.

Redemption Rights of Azteca Stockholders

        Azteca is providing its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares of Azteca stock for cash in an amount equal to the greater of $10.05 per share or the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Transaction, less franchise and income taxes payable and less any interest that Azteca was permitted to withdraw in accordance with the Trust Agreement, by (ii) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares. Based on the amount outstanding in the Trust Account as of January 10, 2013, we anticipate that the redemption price will be $10.05. Public Shares will only be redeemed if the Transaction is consummated. However, even if the Transaction is not consummated, holders of Public Shares who elected to redeem Public Shares would receive the same portion of the Trust Account that they would receive upon liquidation. As of March 1, 2013, the redemption value would be equal to approximately $10.05 per share. The initial public offering price of Azteca's units was $10.00 per unit.

        Only stockholders of record as of the record date may exercise redemption rights for their shares of Azteca common stock. Consequently, shares of Azteca common stock transferred after the record date cannot be redeemed. There will be no redemption rights upon the consummation of the Transaction with respect to Azteca warrants. The Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any Public Shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, and the Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

        Azteca will consummate the Transaction only if at least a majority of the outstanding shares of its common stock are voted in favor of the Azteca Merger proposal. The Azteca Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares in favor of the Azteca Merger proposal. Each public shareholder of Azteca common stock may elect to redeem such holder's Public Shares irrespective of whether such holder votes for or against the approval of the Azteca Merger proposal. Azteca has no specified maximum redemption threshold. However, Azteca will not close the Transaction unless it has at least $80.0 million of cash held in the Trust Account. Azteca's public stockholders would be able to redeem their shares up to two business days prior to the vote on the Azteca Merger proposal.

        Azteca stockholders, together with any of their affiliates or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming their shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in Azteca's initial public offering. Azteca may enter into privately negotiated transactions to purchase Public Shares from stockholders prior to consummation of the Transaction with proceeds to be released from the Trust Account immediately following consummation of the Transaction.

Interests of Azteca Officers and Directors in the Transaction

        Azteca's directors and executive officers may have direct and indirect interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in addition to or in conflict with, yours. These interests include the continued employment of certain executive officers of Azteca by Hemisphere, the continued service of certain directors of Azteca as directors of Hemisphere, and the indemnification of former Azteca directors and officers by Hemisphere and the surviving entities.

        In addition, certain of Azteca's executive officers and directors have financial interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Azteca's stockholders, other than the Azteca Initial Stockholders. These interests are:

        Mr. Gabriel Brener, who controls Azteca's Sponsor and is a member of Azteca's board of directors, has agreed that, if Azteca dissolves prior to the consummation of a business combination, he will personally indemnify Azteca for any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense which it may become subject to as a result of a claim by any vendor, prospective target business or other entity that has not signed a waiver of claims against Azteca's Trust Account and is owed money by Azteca for services rendered or products sold to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds held in Azteca's Trust Account. In addition, on February 1, 2013, Azteca's Sponsor loaned Azteca $250,000 to fund working capital pursuant to a non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note that is payable by Azteca or Hemisphere at or prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

        The members of the Azteca Board were aware of and considered the interests summarized above, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and the transactions

164

contemplated thereby and in recommending to Azteca stockholders, that the Merger Agreement be approved and adopted. You should be aware of these interests when you consider the Azteca Board's recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Interests of WAPA and Cinelatino Officers and Directors in the Transaction

        No director, executive officer, or any such person's affiliate holds a votable interest in either of WAPA or Cinelatino respectively. WAPA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the WAPA Member, which has approved WAPA's entry into the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Transaction. Cinelatino's board of directors and shareholders have each unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction.

        The WAPA/Cinelatino Investors have agreed to subject a total of 3,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock to certain forfeiture provisions if the market price of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not reach certain levels.

Accounting Treatment of the Transaction

        The Transaction will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the accounting acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of the purchase consideration to be transferred, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquiree and the measurement of goodwill. ASC Topic 805-10, "Business Combinations—Overall" ("ASC 805-10") provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a business combination effected primarily through an exchange of equity interests, the acquirer is usually the entity that issues equity interests but all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered in determining the acquirer. Other pertinent facts and circumstances to consider include the relative voting rights of the shareholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of equity interests in the Transaction, including payment of any premium. Although Hemisphere issued the equity interests in the Transaction, since it is a new entity formed solely to issue these equity interests to effect the Transaction it would not be considered the acquirer and one of the combining entities that existed before the transaction must be identified as the acquirer. Based on the following, WAPA is the accounting acquirer:

        As WAPA is the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree), the Transaction is considered to be a reverse acquisition. Since WAPA issued no consideration in the Transaction, unless the fair value of accounting acquirees' equity interests are more reliably measurable, the fair value of the consideration transferred by WAPA would be based on the number of shares WAPA would have had to issue to give owners of the other entities in the transaction the same percentage ownership in the combined entities that results from the Transaction. In this situation, since Azteca's shares are publicly traded and they are one of the combining entities in this Transaction, the fair value of those shares are considered to be more reliably measurable than the fair value of WAPA's shares and therefore were used to determine the fair value of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Cinelatino, which is the other operating entity involved in this Transaction. The difference between the fair value of the consideration

165


Table of Contents

transferred and the fair value of Cinelatino's identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date will be recorded as goodwill.

Listing of Hemisphere Class A common stock

        Hemisphere, Azteca, Cinelatino, and WAPA have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to be issued in connection with the Transaction to be listed on NASDAQ. Additionally, the listing of the Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable under the Merger Agreement and those shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock required to be reserved for issuance in connection with the Transaction on NASDAQ is a condition of the consummation of the Transaction, provided that the foregoing condition shall be deemed to be satisfied if the sole reason Hemisphere Class A Common Stock has not been authorized for listing on NASDAQ shall be the failure of Hemisphere to have at least the minimum number of "Round Lot Holders" (as defined in Rule 5005(a)(37) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules) required for such a listing.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        Subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations in the opinion attached as Exhibit 8.1, the statements of law and legal conclusions set forth below (unless otherwise noted in the following discussion), represent the opinion of Greenberg Traurig, LLP. As set forth below and in the attached opinion, Greenberg Traurig, LLP is unable to give an unqualified opinion on the tax consequences of the receipt of Hemisphere Class A common stock in the Transaction and the Warrant Amendment. In addition, Greenberg Traurig, LLP has not opined on the tax consequences of the deemed exchange of Amended Azteca Warrants for warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock.

        The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transaction and Warrant Amendment applicable to U.S. holders of Azteca common stock and U.S. holders of Public Warrants. This discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury Regulations, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the IRS, and other applicable authorities, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). This discussion does not address U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift tax laws or the recently implemented Medicare tax on investment income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation.

        This discussion is limited to U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold their shares of Azteca common stock and Public Warrants as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular stockholder or warrantholder or to stockholders or warrantholders that are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

        As used herein, the term "U.S. holder" means any beneficial owner of Azteca common stock or Public Warrants that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, (iv) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and (B) one or more United States persons have the authority to control

167


Table of Contents

all substantial decisions of the trust, or (v) an eligible trust that elects to be taxed as a U.S. person under applicable Treasury Regulations.

        If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Azteca common stock or Public Warrants, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding Azteca common stock or Public Warrants and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transaction and the Warrant Amendment.

        It is a condition to Azteca's obligation to complete the Transaction that Hemisphere receives an opinion of its counsel, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, to the effect that the Azteca Merger, the WAPA Merger and the Cinelatino Merger, taken together, will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. It is a condition of WAPA's and Cinelatino's obligations to complete the WAPA Merger and Cinelatino Merger that WAPA and Cinelatino receive a written opinion of their counsel, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, to the effect that the Azteca Merger, the WAPA Merger and the Cinelatino Merger, taken together, will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. In rendering the opinions, counsel for Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino, respectively, may require and rely upon representations contained in letters and certificates to be received from these companies. If the letters or certificates are incorrect, the conclusions reached in the tax opinions could be jeopardized. In addition, the opinions will be subject to certain qualifications and limitations as set forth in the opinions.

        None of the tax opinions given in connection with the Transaction will be binding on the IRS. Azteca does not intend to request any ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transaction. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which those opinions are based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transaction could be adversely affected.

        This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior or subsequent to, or concurrently with, the Transaction or the Warrant Amendment (whether or not any such transactions are undertaken in connection with the Transaction or the Warrant Amendment).

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING AND ADVICE. U.S. HOLDERS OF AZTECA COMMON STOCK AND PUBLIC WARRANTS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION AND WARRANT AMENDMENT, AND CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND POSSIBLE DISPOSITION OF HEMISPHERE CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

HOLDERS OF AZTECA COMMON STOCK AND PUBLIC WARRANTS THAT ARE NOT U.S. HOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISERS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION AND WARRANT AMENDMENT, AND CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND POSSIBLE DISPOSITION OF HEMISPHERE CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction to Azteca Stockholders

        The Azteca Merger, the WAPA Merger and the Cinelatino Merger, taken together, will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. Subject to the discussion below, a U.S. holder of Azteca common stock will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of Azteca common stock for

168


Table of Contents

Hemisphere Class A common stock, the aggregate tax basis of the Hemisphere Class A common stock the U.S. holder of Azteca common stock receives will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the Azteca common stock exchanged therefor, and the holding period of the Hemisphere Class A common stock will include the U.S. holder's holding period of the Azteca common stock surrendered in exchange therefor.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is a risk that a U.S. holder of Azteca common stock will be taxed on the Hemisphere Class A common stock received in the Azteca Merger at ordinary income rates to the extent the stockholder is deemed to receive Hemisphere Class A common stock other than as consideration for the stockholder's Azteca common stock surrendered in the Azteca Merger. In this regard, in Revenue Ruling 73-233, the IRS ruled that certain stockholders of an acquired company realized ordinary income upon the receipt of merger consideration in excess of their pro rata share of the aggregate consideration paid by the acquiring corporation in a circumstance where the excess consideration was paid to such stockholders to induce them to vote for the Transaction. As a result of the cancellation of common stock held by the Azteca Initial Stockholders, the Azteca Initial Stockholders may be deemed to be forgoing a portion of the consideration to which they might otherwise be entitled and paying that amount to the public holders of Azteca common stock in order to secure favorable public stockholder acceptance of the Azteca Merger. Based on the terms of the Merger Agreement, under this theory, a relatively small portion of the shares of the Hemisphere Class A common stock could be treated as having been received by the public shareholders of Azteca common stock from the Azteca Initial Stockholders. Hemisphere and Azteca intend to treat the entire amount of Hemisphere Class A common stock received by the holders of Azteca common stock as consideration for their Azteca common stock surrendered in the Azteca Merger, giving rise to the income tax consequences described in the preceding paragraph. However, due to the lack of definitive authority and uncertain scope of Revenue Ruling 73-233, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, has not rendered an opinion regarding the issue described in this paragraph. U.S. holders of Azteca common stock are urged to consult with their tax advisers regarding this matter.

Redemption of Azteca Common Stock

        In the event that a U.S. holder of Azteca common stock exercises such holder's right to have such holder's common stock redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this registration statement, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such common stock or whether the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Whether that redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Azteca common stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of, among other things, owning warrants) relative to all of shares of Azteca common stock both before and after the redemption. The redemption of common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption is "substantially disproportionate" with respect to the U.S. holder, results in a "complete termination" of the U.S. holder's interest in Azteca or is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

        In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of Azteca common stock that are constructively owned by such U.S. holder. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which generally would include common stock that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Public Warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of Azteca's outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S.

169


Table of Contents

holder immediately following the redemption of common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80 percent of the percentage of Azteca's outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder's interest if either all the shares of Azteca common stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or all the shares of Azteca common stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder's redemption results in a "meaningful reduction" of the U.S. holder's proportionate interest in Azteca. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder's proportionate interest in Azteca will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a "meaningful reduction." A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

        If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock by the U.S. holder under Section 302 of the Code, the U.S. holder generally will be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of Azteca common stock redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. A stockholder's tax basis in such holder's shares of Azteca common stock generally will equal the cost of such shares. A stockholder that purchased Azteca units would have been required to allocate the cost between the shares of common stock and the Public Warrants comprising the units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase.

        If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of common stock under Section 302 of the Code, then the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder's Azteca common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock. Special rules apply to dividends received by U.S. holders that are taxable corporations. After the application of the foregoing rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed common stock will be added to the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Warrant Amendment and Transaction to U.S. Holders of Public Warrants

        The Warrant Amendment will reduce the number of shares of Azteca common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants by half, and each holder of Public Warrants will receive, for each such Azteca Warrant (in exchange for the reduction of shares for which such Public Warrants are exercisable), the Cash Amount. While there are no legal authorities which are directly on point and accordingly, counsel is unable to render an unqualified "will" opinion, the Warrant Amendment should be treated as if each holder of Public Warrants sold one-half of its Public Warrants. Accordingly, in the opinion of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, a U.S. holder of Public Warrants should recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the Warrant Amendment, and the amount of such capital gain or loss should be equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and one-half of the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the Public Warrants. Although unlikely, it is also possible that the Warrant Amendment

170


Table of Contents

would be treated as a taxable exchange of all of a Public Warrantholder's Public Warrants for Amended Azteca Warrants, and in such instance, a Public Warrantholder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the Warrant Amendment equal to the difference between the amount of cash received plus the fair market value of the Amended Azteca Warrants and the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its Public Warrants. For purposes of determining the adjusted tax basis in the Public Warrants, a Public Warrantholder that purchased Azteca units would have been required to allocate the cost between the shares of common stock and the Public Warrants comprising the units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase.

        As part of the Transaction, all of the Amended Azteca Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction will be exchanged for an equal number of warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock. A U.S. holder whose Amended Azteca Warrants are converted into warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock will be treated as if they had exchanged their Amended Azteca Warrants for warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock. If the merger of Azteca Merger Sub with and into Azteca were to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a), a U.S. holder would not recognize gain or loss in connection with its exchange of Amended Azteca Warrants for warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock, and such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis and holding period in the warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock received would be the same as such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis and holding period in the Amended Azteca Warrants exchanged or deemed exchanged in connection with the Warrant Amendment. If, however, the merger of Azteca Merger Sub with and into Azteca does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a), a U.S. holder of Amended Azteca Warrants generally would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the excess of the fair market value of the warrants to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock received over such U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Amended Azteca Warrants surrendered. The merger of Azteca Merger Sub with and into Azteca in exchange for Hemisphere Class A common stock takes the form of a reverse triangular merger, which subject to certain requirements, may qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) and Section 368(a)(2)(E). However, to qualify as reorganization, the acquiring corporation must either continue the acquired corporation's historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation's historic business assets in a business. Since Azteca has never been engaged in an active business, it is unclear whether this requirement can be satisfied. While it is possible that the merger of Azteca Merger Sub with and into Azteca will qualify as reorganization under Section 368(a), such qualification is not a condition of the Transaction and due to the lack of authority, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, is not rendering an opinion on this issue. A U.S. holder of Azteca Warrants should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the Warrant Amendment and the Transaction.

        For a discussion of the federal income tax consequences of the possible cashless exercise of Hemisphere warrants, see page 150.

Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding

        U.S. holders generally are subject to information reporting requirements and back-up withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) with respect to payments of dividends on, and gross proceeds from the disposition of, the Azteca common stock and Public Warrants, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient or, in the case of back-up withholding, the U.S. holder provides an IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption from back-up withholding. Back-up withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any back-up withholding may be allowed as a credit against a holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

THIS SECTION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, LEGAL, BUSINESS OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR U.S. HOLDER OF AZTECA COMMON STOCK OR PUBLIC WARRANTS. U.S. HOLDERS OF AZTECA COMMON STOCK OR PUBLIC WARRANTS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DESCRIBED TRANSACTIONS IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE AGREEMENTS

        The following summary describes certain material provisions of the Merger Agreement entered into in connection with the Transaction. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to carefully read the Merger Agreement in its entirety for a more complete understanding of the Transaction. The Merger Agreement is included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by WAPA, Cinelatino and Azteca contained in the Merger Agreement are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also qualified, modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. WAPA, Cinelatino and Azteca do not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

Description of the Merger Agreement

Structure of the Mergers

        The Merger Agreement provides for three mergers: (i) Azteca Merger Sub will merge with and into Azteca, whereupon the separate existence of Azteca Merger Sub will cease and Azteca will be the surviving corporation; (ii) WAPA Merger Sub will merge with and into WAPA, whereupon the separate existence of WAPA Merger Sub will cease and WAPA will be the surviving limited liability company; and (iii) Cine Merger Sub will merge with and into Cinelatino, whereupon the separate existence of Cine Merger Sub will cease and Cinelatino will be the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of such mergers, each of WAPA, Cinelatino and Azteca will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere.

Closing and Effective Time of the Mergers

        The Azteca Merger is to become effective as soon as practicable by the filing of a certificate of merger, certified by the Secretary of Azteca in accordance with the DGCL (the "Azteca Merger Filing"), with the Delaware Secretary of State and making all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Azteca Merger. Concurrently with the Azteca Merger Filing and the Cine Merger Filing, as defined below, the WAPA Merger is to become effective by filing a certificate of merger, certified by the Secretary of WAPA in accordance with the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the "WAPA Merger Filing"), with the Delaware Secretary of State and making all other filings or recordings required by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act in connection with the WAPA Merger. Concurrently with the Azteca Merger Filing and the WAPA Merger Filing, the Cine merger is to become effective by the filing of a certificate of merger, certified by the Secretary of Cinelatino in accordance with the DGCL (the "Cine Merger Filing"), with the Delaware Secretary of State and making all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Cine merger. The parties will hold a closing to verify that all closing conditions have been satisfied or waived immediately prior to the filing of the certificates of merger.

Merger Consideration

        Each of the shares of Azteca common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than any shares canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement, redeemed shares, or

172


Table of Contents

dissenting shares), will be automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of Hemisphere Class A common stock.

        If you are a holder of shares of Azteca common stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Azteca Merger consideration, upon surrender of an Azteca certificate, together with the appropriate transmittal materials, you will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock that you have the right to receive.

        Each share of Azteca Merger Sub common stock held by Holdco immediately prior to the effective time will be canceled and converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of Azteca common stock.

        The WAPA units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be automatically converted into the right to receive (i) an aggregate of 20,432,462 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock and (ii) a cash payment.

        Each equity interest of WAPA Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be canceled and converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable equity interest WAPA.

        The shares of Cinelatino common stock issued and outstanding prior to the effective time of the merger will be automatically converted into the right to receive (i) an aggregate of 12,567,538 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock and (ii) a cash payment.

        Each share of common stock of Cine Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be cancelled and converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock of Cinelatino.

        At the effective time, all of the Amended Azteca Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction will be automatically converted into an equal number of warrants issued by Hemisphere (i.e. warrants to purchase 7,333,334 shares of Hemisphere Class A Common Stock) on the same terms as were in effect with respect to the Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction. In addition, immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, Azteca will purchase from the Current Sponsor Warrantholders, 2,333,334 Amended Azteca Warrants (i.e., warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares of Azteca common stock) for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50. Immediately following the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere will sell to the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Act an aggregate of 2,333,334 warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50, the Seller Warrants. The Seller Warrants will have the same terms as in effect with respect to the Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

Appraisal Rights Under Delaware Law

        Under Section 262 of the DGCL, holders of Azteca common stock will have dissenters' rights in connection with the Azteca Merger to seek appraisal of the fair value of those shares, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, if the Azteca Merger is completed. In general, shares of Azteca common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Azteca Merger that are held by a holder who (i) has not voted "FOR" the adoption of the Merger Agreement, (ii) has filed a written demand of appraisal with Azteca in accordance with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL before the taking of the vote on the Azteca Merger at the special meeting, and (iii) has not effectively withdrawn or forfeited such dissenter's rights prior to the effective time of the Azteca Merger, will not be converted into a right to receive Azteca Merger consideration at the effective time. A person having a beneficial interest in shares of Azteca common stock held of record in the name of

173


Table of Contents

another person, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, must act promptly to cause the record holder to follow the steps set forth under Section 262 of the DGCL in a timely manner to perfect appraisal rights. If, after the effective time of the Azteca Merger, such holder fails to perfect in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or withdraws, forfeits or otherwise loses such holder's dissenter's rights, then (A) such shares of Azteca common stock will be treated as if they had been converted as of the effective time of the Azteca Merger into a right to receive the Azteca Merger consideration, without interest thereon, and (B) such holder will receive the Azteca Merger consideration in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. To exercise dissenters' rights, holders of Azteca common stock must strictly follow the procedures prescribed by the DGCL. A stockholder who elects to exercise appraisal rights should mail or deliver such holder's written demand to Azteca at 421 N. Beverly Drive, Suite 300, Beverly Hills, California 90210, attention: Secretary. Attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus is a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL, which is reproduced in full and describes the procedures relating to the exercise of such dissenters' rights.

        Since any payments made to stockholders who validly elect to exercise appraisal rights will not be required to be made by Hemisphere until after the consummation of the Transaction, such elections will not have any impact on the closing condition that Azteca have at least $80.0 million of cash in the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemptions by Azteca's stockholders, but before giving effect to cash payable pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, payment of the deferred underwriting fees payable to Azteca's underwriter in connection with its initial public offering and consulting fees due to certain of Azteca's consultants and advisors, transaction expenses and any cash contribution from WAPA or Cinelatino). By contrast, if holders of Public Shares elected to exercise their redemption rights with respect to more than 2,049,752 shares (representing more than 16% of the number of shares outstanding), such redemptions would impact the closing condition that Azteca have at least $80.0 million of cash in the Trust Account.

Exchange of Certificates

        As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the mergers, Hemisphere shall cause the exchange agent selected by Hemisphere to mail appropriate transmittal materials to each holder of record of Azteca common stock as of the effective time for use in effecting the surrender of those certificates in exchange for Azteca Merger consideration. Risk of loss and title to the Azteca certificates will remain with the holder until proper delivery of such certificates to the exchange agent. At or prior to the effective time, Hemisphere shall deposit with the exchange agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of shares of Azteca common stock, shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock sufficient to be issued under the Merger Agreement, payable upon due surrender of the Azteca certificates. The exchange agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, shall deliver the appropriate Azteca Merger consideration out of the exchange fund. The Azteca Merger consideration shall be paid as promptly as practicable after the exchange agent receives the Azteca certificate and letter of transmittal, and in any event no later than three business days following the later to occur of (i) the effective time, and (ii) the exchange agent's receipt of the Azteca certificate and letter of transmittal. The certificate or certificates so retired for cash must be duly endorsed as the exchange agent may require. No dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock will be paid to the holder of any unretired Azteca certificates, until such Azteca certificates are retired. Following such surrender, the record holder of the shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock will be entitled to receive (i) at the time of such surrender, all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of any such shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock with a record date after the effective time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock with a record date after the effective time, but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender.

174


Table of Contents

        After the effective time of the mergers, holders of Azteca certificates representing shares of Azteca common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will have no rights with respect to such shares of Azteca common stock, except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement or by applicable law.

        Any portion of the exchange fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Azteca common stock one year after the effective time of the Transaction will be returned to Hemisphere upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged its shares of Azteca common stock for the Azteca Merger consideration prior to that time will look only to Hemisphere for delivery of the Azteca Merger consideration. None of Hemisphere, WAPA, WAPA Merger Sub, Azteca, Azteca Merger Sub, Cinelatino or Cine Merger Sub will be liable to any holder of shares of Azteca common stock for any Azteca Merger consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property laws.

        Hemisphere and the exchange agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement to any person who was a holder of Azteca common stock such amounts as Hemisphere or the exchange agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code or any provision of federal, state, local, or foreign tax law.

        In the event that any Azteca certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, the exchange agent shall issue, upon the holder making an affidavit of that fact, cash for any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that Hemisphere may require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed Azteca certificates to deliver an agreement of indemnification or a bond in such reasonable sum as Hemisphere may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Hemisphere or the exchange agent.

Representations and Warranties

        The Merger Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties that each of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino has made to each other.

        The equity restructuring and warrant purchase agreement will automatically terminate upon the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

        Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of WAPA, Cinelatino, IM, InterMedia Cine, James M. McNamara, Cinema Aeropuerto, Azteca's Sponsor, Brener International Group, LLC, Gabriel Brener, Clive Fleissig, Juan Pablo Albán, John Engelman and Alfredo E. Ayub have entered into a lock-up agreement with Hemisphere (the "Lock-up Agreement") pursuant to which each of them have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer or sell (i) any shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock and Hemisphere Class B common stock (including any shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock that may be received upon exercise of warrants) for a period of one year following the consummation of the Transaction and (ii) any warrants for a period of 30 days following the consummation of the Transaction. However, following 150 days after the closing of the Transaction, if the last sale price of the Hemisphere common stock reaches or exceeds (a) $11.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period during the final seven months of the lock-up period, one-half of the shares of Hemisphere common stock that are subject to the Lock-up Agreement (other than the shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock or Hemisphere Class B common stock that are subject to forfeiture) will be released from the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Lock-up Agreement or (b) $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period during the final seven months of the lock-up period, the remaining one-half of the shares of Hemisphere common stock that are subject to the Lock-up Agreement (other than the shares of Class A common stock or Hemisphere Class B common stock that are subject to forfeiture) will be released from the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Lock-up Agreement

        The Lock-up Agreement contains exceptions for (i) transfers to permitted transferees (as defined below); (ii) transfers to Hemisphere or any of its officers or directors; (iii) transfers to any other person subject to the Lock-up Agreement and its affiliates; (iv) transfers in connection with Hemisphere's consummation of a merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of Hemisphere's security holders having the right to exchange their securities for cash, securities or other property; (v) transfers pursuant to an acceptance of a general offer for the securities made to all holders of the securities on equal terms; (vi) the provision of an irrevocable undertaking to accept an offer as described in clause (v) above; (vii) transfers of any securities acquired after the consummation of the Transaction in any open-market transaction; and (viii) as may be approved in writing from time to time by the Hemisphere board of directors.

        A "Permitted Transferee" means, (i) with respect to any person subject to the Lock-up Agreement who is an individual, (x) a member of such holder's immediate family (which shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin) or a trust, corporation, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of such person and/or an immediate family member, all of the beneficial interests of which shall be held by such holder and/or one or more members of such holder's immediate family, and shall include such holder's heirs, successors, administrators and executor, (y) any beneficiary pursuant to will, other testamentary document or

applicable laws of decent and (z) any person receiving securities pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (ii) with respect to any holder that is an entity, any affiliate of such entity or any of its or its affiliate's holders of equity, and (iii) with respect to the WAPA member and InterMedia Cine, any managing director, general partner, director, limited partner, member, officer or employee of such WAPA member or InterMedia Cine, or any corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the stockholders, members or general or limited partners of which, include such WAPA member, or its affiliates, (iv) with respect to Cinema Aeropuerto, (a) any managing director, general partner, director, limited partner, member, officer or employee of Cinema Aeropuerto or (b) any corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the stockholders, members or general or limited partners of which, include Cinema Aeropuerto, or its affiliates, (v) with respect to any Azteca initial stockholder or existing Azteca Sponsor Warrant holder that is an entity (a) any managing director, general partner, director, limited partner, member, officer or employee of such Azteca initial stockholder or existing Azteca Sponsor Warrant holder or any corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the stockholders, members or general or limited partners of which, include such Azteca initial stockholder or existing Azteca Sponsor Warrant holder, or its affiliates, (b) by virtue of the charter documents of any Azteca initial stockholder or existing Azteca Sponsor Warrant holder that is an entity, upon dissolution of such person; and (vi) as a bona fide gift or gifts to any institution qualified as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions.

        The Lock-up Agreement further provides that no party thereto may exercise any registration rights until the expiration of the lock-up period, except (i) as may be separately approved in writing by the Hemisphere board of directors in connection with any permitted transfer or (ii) to the extent that such registration statement does not become effective prior to the end of the lock-up period.

        The Lock-up Agreement supersedes any existing lock-up agreements between the Azteca Initial Stockholders and existing sponsor warrantholders and Azteca contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the letter agreement dated June 29, 2011.

        In connection with the Transaction, Hemisphere and the Investors (as defined below) entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 22, 2013, pursuant to which, after the consummation of the Transaction, the Investors will, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, have certain demand and so-called "piggy back" registration rights with respect to their shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities of the Company including the Class B common stock and the warrants), warrants held as of the effective time of the Transaction and any shares of Class A common stock or warrants issued in respect of the shares of Common Stock of Hemisphere issued or issuable by way of a dividend, stock or otherwise (collectively, the "Registrable Securities"). The Investors are Intermedia Partners VII, L.P., Intermedia Cine Latino, LLC (together, the "IM Investors"), Cinema Aeropuerto, James McNamara (together the "CA Investors") and Azteca Acquisition Holdings, LLC, Brener International Group, LLC, Juan Pablo Albán, Alfredo Elias Ayub, John Engleman and Clive Fleissig (together, the "Sponsor Investors").

        Under the Registration Rights Agreement, after the consummation of the Transaction, (i) IM Investors and their permitted transferees holding at least a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities held by them (ii) CA Investors and their permitted transferees holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by them and (iii) Sponsor Investors and their permitted transferees holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by them may demand that Hemisphere register the offer and sale of all or a portion of their Registrable Securities under the Act so long as the anticipated aggregate offering amount of the securities to be offered to the public is (x) at least $10 million if registration is to be effected pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or similar

188


Table of Contents

"long-form" registration (which "long-form" registration may only be requested by the IM Investors) or (ii) at least $5 million if registration is to be effected pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 or a similar "short form" registration. Each of the initiating holders described above shall be entitled to no more than one short-form registration every six months. The IM Investors shall be entitled no more than three long-form registrations in general.

        Upon such demand registration request, Hemisphere is obligated to file the relevant demand registration statement as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request of the initiating holders and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days (in the case of a long-form registration) or 45 days (in the case of a short-form registration) of the date on which it receives the relevant request, and to cause such registration to remain effective for the lesser of (A) the period during which all Registrable Securities so included are sold and (B) 120 days. If so requested by the initiating holders holding a majority of Registrable Securities to be included in the relevant registration statement, or elected by Hemisphere, Hemisphere will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the offering to be made in the form of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, provided, that the anticipated aggregate offering price to the public equals or exceeds $10 million.

        If Hemisphere becomes eligible to use a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 in connection with a secondary public offering of its equity securities (other than as a result of Hemisphere becoming a "well known seasoned issuer," as discussed below), any Investor (or its permitted transferees) may request that Hemisphere register the offer and sale of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Act, so long as the anticipated aggregate market value of such shares is at least $5 million. Following the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement, upon request of any Investor, Hemisphere is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to cause shares included under the shelf registration to be offered in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, so long as the anticipated aggregate offering amount to the public is at least $10 million. With respect to each such shelf registration, Hemisphere shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective within 45 days after it receives a request therefor, and remain effective until there are no longer any shelf registrable securities. If, prior to Hemisphere becoming eligible to use a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 in connection with a secondary public offering of its equity securities, the Sponsor Investors holding at least a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities held by the Sponsor Investors (the "Sponsor Requesting Investors"), make a written request that Hemisphere register, on Form S-1, in an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Act (an "S-1 Shelf Registration") the sale by the Sponsor Requesting Investors of Registrable Securities owned by such Sponsor Requesting Investors, Hemisphere shall (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable after such written request of the Sponsor Requesting Investors, file a registration statement on Form S-1 and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days after it receives the request therefor. Hemisphere shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement effective for 30 days following such first date of effectiveness (as such 30 day period may be extended in certain circumstances, the "Initial Registration Period"). In the event Hemisphere receives, prior to the expiration of the Initial Registration Period, a written request for the Sponsor Requesting Investors to extend such 30 day period, Hemisphere shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement effective for an additional 30 days following the expiration of the Initial Registration Period, (as such additional 30 day period may be extended in certain circumstances). The Sponsor Requesting Investors shall be entitled to no more than one S-1 Shelf Registration. Any stock sold by the Sponsor Requesting Investors pursuant to an S-1 Shelf Registration shall not be sold pursuant to an underwritten public offering.

        If Hemisphere becomes a "well known seasoned issuer," it is obligated, as soon as reasonably practicable, to include all of the Registrable Securities entitled to registration under the Registration Rights Agreement on a single "automatic shelf registration statement," to use its reasonable best

189


Table of Contents

efforts to cause such automatic shelf registration statement to become effective within ten business days of becoming a well-known seasoned issuer, and to cause such automatic shelf registration statement to remain effective until there are no longer any Registrable Securities.

        If Hemisphere's board of directors determines that a demand registration or shelf registration (or the continuation of any such registration thereunder) would materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger or other material transaction or would require premature disclosure of a matter that the board of directors has determined would not be in the best interests of Hemisphere to be disclosed at such time, including any registration that is requested or continuing at a time during a blackout period in accordance with Hemisphere's trading policies or such time that any initiating holder may be deemed to hold material non-public information regarding Hemisphere, due to such person's status as a director or officer or otherwise, Hemisphere may delay filing the registration statement until such intervening circumstance no longer exists, or if the registration statement has already been filed, it may withdraw the registration statement or postpone, suspend or terminate its effectiveness if determined by the board of directors to be in the best interests of Hemisphere. The Hemisphere board of directors may not, however, withdraw a registration statement demanded under the Registration Rights Agreement more than once in any 12-month period or postpone an offering for a period of greater than 120 days in any 12-month period.

        If any initiating holder demands registration (or shelf registration) under the Registration Rights Agreement, the other Investors are entitled to notice thereof and to have all or a portion of their shares of registrable securities included in the registration and offering. In addition, if Hemisphere decides to register the offer and sale of shares of its Hemisphere Class A common stock for its own account or the account of a stockholder other than the Investors (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement), the holders may require Hemisphere to include all or a portion of their shares of Registrable Securities in the registration, and to the extent the registration is in connection with an underwritten public offering, to have such Registrable Securities included in the offering.

        The Investors right to demand or include their shares of registrable securities in a registration is subject to the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares included in the offering in the event such underwriter determines that registration of all or a portion of the securities which the holders have requested to be included in the offering would materially adversely affect the success of such offering.

        Hemisphere has agreed that, during the period beginning on the effective date of a demand registration statement and ending on the date that is 90 days (or 180 days in the case of an initial public offering) after the date of the final prospectus relating to the offering, it will not sell, offer for sale or otherwise transfer shares of its common stock or any securities convertible into such shares of common stock, except for transfers pursuant to such underwritten public offering. In addition, Hemisphere has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors and holders of greater than 1% of its Registrable Securities and securities of Hemisphere that are of the same as the Registrable Securities (or any securities convertible into such shares of Registrable Securities) to enter into similar lock-up agreements that contain restrictions that are no less restrictive than the restrictions applicable to Hemisphere.

        The rights of a given Investor to demand registration with respect to such Registrable Securities shall terminate (i) when a registration statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective under the Act by the SEC and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement (ii) upon the sale of the relevant Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act, (iii) once such Investor (together with certain other relevant holders) owns less than 1% of the outstanding Class A common stock on a fully-diluted basis, (iv) if the Hemisphere common stock is proposed to be sold by a person not entitled

190


Table of Contents

to registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, or (v) once such Registrable Securities are no longer outstanding.

        The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary provisions allocating rights and responsibilities among the parties thereto and obligating Hemisphere and the other parties to the Registration Rights Agreement to indemnify each other against certain liabilities arising from any registration of securities thereunder. The obligations of the parties under the Registration Rights Agreement terminate upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

        The full text of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement on Form S-4 and incorporated into this document by reference.

        The Assignment, Assumption and Amendment of Warrant Agreement will be entered into by Azteca, Hemisphere and the Warrant Agent upon the consummation of the Transaction to effect the Warrant Amendment, upon its approval by the warrantholders, and to permit Azteca to assign to Hemisphere all of its right, title and interest in the Warrant Agreement and permit Hemisphere to assume all of Azteca's liabilities and obligations under the Warrant Agreement.

        The Warrant Amendment provides that, among other things, (i) each warrant to purchase Azteca common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction (including the Sponsor Warrants) will become exercisable for one-half of the number of shares of common stock of Azteca at an exercise price of $6.00 per half-share and (ii) each holder of Azteca warrants (including the Sponsor Warrants) will receive, for each such warrant (in exchange for the reduction of shares for which such warrants are exercisable), $0.50 in cash. Upon consummation of the Transaction, each Amended Azteca Warrant will be converted into an equal number of Hemisphere warrants and will be exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on the same terms as were in effect with respect to such Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by the registered warrantholder. For example, if a registered warrantholder holds one warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Hemisphere Class A common stock, such warrant shall not be exercisable. If a registered warrantholder holds two warrants, such warrants shall be exercisable for one share of Hemisphere Class A common stock.

        In addition, the Warrant Amendment:

OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT OF HEMISPHERE

        The following table sets forth certain information upon the consummation of the Transaction with respect to (i) each director and each named executive officer of Hemisphere; (ii) all directors and named executive officers of Hemisphere as a group; and (iii) persons (including any "group" as that term is used in Section l3(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), expected to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of each class of common stock of Hemisphere. Shares of common stock subject to options exercisable within 60 days from the date of the anticipated closing are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of others.

Committees of the Board of Directors of Hemisphere

General

        Upon the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere will be a "controlled company" within the meaning of the rules and corporate governance standards of NASDAQ. "Controlled companies" under those rules are companies of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company. The WAPA/Cinelatino Investors will control approximately 96% of all of the voting power of Hemisphere's outstanding capital stock upon consummation of the Transaction and be able to elect all of Hemisphere's nine members of its board of directors. As a result, Hemisphere will be considered a "controlled company."

        As a "controlled company," Hemisphere will be permitted to, and intends to, opt out of the any exchange listing requirements that would otherwise require a majority of the members of its board of directors to be independent and require that Hemisphere either establish a compensation committee and a nominating and governance committee, each comprised entirely of independent directors, or otherwise ensure that the compensation of its executive officers and nominees for directors are determined or recommended to its board by the independent members of the board.

        Upon consummation of the Transaction, the Hemisphere board of directors will establish one standing committee: the audit committee.

Audit Committee

        Hemisphere's audit committee will be responsible for preparing such reports, statements or charters as may be required by the exchange it is listed on or federal securities laws, as well as, among other things:

Table of Contents

        Hemisphere's audit committee will consist of three members that are independent, as that term is defined in the NASDAQ listing rules, upon the consummation of the Transaction. Upon the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere's board of directors will nominate Messrs. Neuman, Engelman and Sadusky to serve as the initial members of Hemisphere's audit committee, and Mr. Neuman will serve as Chairman of the audit committee. It is expected that Mr. Neuman will qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," as that term is defined under the SEC rules implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Executive Compensation

Golden Parachute Compensation for Hemisphere Named Executive Officers

        No compensation or benefits will or may be paid or provided to any of Hemisphere's named executive officers in connection with the mergers.

Executive Compensation of Hemisphere

        Hemisphere was formed on January 16, 2013 for the purpose of holding Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino as wholly-owned subsidiaries following completion of the Transaction. As a newly formed company with no operations, Hemisphere currently has no employees and, accordingly, has not paid any executive compensation or adopted any executive compensation programs. Accordingly, the compensation amounts presented in the compensation tables below may not be indicative of future compensation that Hemisphere will award to its executive officers or directors. As discussed in "Risk Factors Relating to the Transaction," Hemisphere will be considered a "controlled company" for purposes of the NASDAQ listing requirements, and will be permitted to, and intends to, opt out of the NASDAQ listing requirements that would require that Hemisphere, among other things, to establish a compensation committee.

        The philosophy and objectives of Hemisphere's future compensation programs have not yet been determined. The formulation of Hemisphere's compensation philosophy and objectives and the adoption and implementation of Hemisphere's compensation programs will be undertaken after completion of the mergers.

Summary Compensation Table

        Prior to the formation of Hemisphere, Alan Sokol and Craig Fischer provided services to InterMedia Advisors, LLC ("InterMedia Advisors"). The following table shows the compensation paid in 2012 by InterMedia Advisors to Messrs. Sokol and Fischer who, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, are expected to serve as executive officers of Hemisphere.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 are based on the historical financial statements of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino after giving effect to the Transaction.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 give pro forma effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 gives pro forma effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on such date.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was derived from Azteca's audited statement of operations, WAPA's audited consolidated statement of income and Cinelatino's audited statement of income, in each case, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        This presentation assumes that no Azteca stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares of Azteca common stock into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

        The Transaction will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the accounting acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of the purchase consideration to be transferred, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquiree and the measurement of goodwill. ASC Topic 805-10, "Business Combinations—Overall" ("ASC 805-10") provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a business combination effected primarily through an exchange of equity interests, the acquirer is usually the entity that issues equity interests but all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered in determining the acquirer. Other pertinent facts and circumstances to consider include the relative voting rights of the shareholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of equity interests in the Transaction, including payment of any premium. Although Hemisphere issued the equity interests in the Transaction, since it is a new entity formed solely to issue these equity interests to effect the Transaction it would not be considered the acquirer and one of the combining entities that existed before the transaction must be identified as the acquirer. Based on the following, WAPA is the accounting acquirer:

        As WAPA is the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree), the Transaction is considered to be a reverse acquisition. Since WAPA issued no consideration in the Transaction, unless the fair value of accounting acquirees' equity interests are more reliably measurable, the fair value of the consideration transferred by WAPA would be based on the number of shares WAPA would have had to issue to give owners of the other entities in the transaction the same percentage ownership in the combined entities that results from the Transaction. In this situation, since Azteca's shares are publicly traded and they are one of the combining entities in this Transaction, the fair value of those shares are considered to be more reliably measurable than the fair value of WAPA's shares and therefore were used to determine the fair value of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Cinelatino, which is the other operating entity involved in this Transaction. The difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of Cinelatino's identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date will be recorded as goodwill.

DESCRIPTION OF HEMISPHERE SECURITIES

        The following is a summary of the material terms of Hemisphere's securities as of the effective time of the Transaction and is not complete. You should also refer to (1) Hemisphere's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which we refer to as the Hemisphere certificate of incorporation, which will be in effect upon the consummation of the Transaction and (2) Hemisphere's amended and restated bylaws, which we refer to as the Hemisphere bylaws, which will be in effect upon the consummation of the Transaction. The following summary should be read in conjunction with the section entitled "Comparison of Stockholder Rights" beginning on page 216. For purposes of this section, all references to Hemisphere warrants shall include Seller Warrants.

Capital Stock

        Hemisphere will have authorized 100,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock, 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock and 50,000,000 shares of Hemisphere preferred stock, each with a par value $0.0001 per share. As of the consummation of the Transaction, it is expected that Hemisphere will have 12,250,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock outstanding, 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock outstanding and no shares of Hemisphere preferred stock outstanding.

        Stockholders of record of Hemisphere Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by holders of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Stockholders of record of Hemisphere Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes for each share held on all matters to be voted on by holders of Hemisphere Class B common stock. The Hemisphere board of directors will be divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected at each annual meeting of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. The Hemisphere stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the Hemisphere board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

        The shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock shall be convertible in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder or holders thereof, into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Such right shall be exercised by delivering to the office of Hemisphere (i) the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed proper instruments of transfer, and (ii) written notice to Hemisphere stating that such holder or holders elect(s) to convert such share or shares and stating the name and address in which each certificate for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issued upon conversion is to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the date as of which the conversion is recorded on the books of Hemisphere. Any conversion of Hemisphere Class B common stock shall be subject to any necessary approval of the FCC and such conversion shall not become effective until such time and date as the order of the FCC approving such event shall be granted.

        The Hemisphere certificate of incorporation provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Hemisphere board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The Hemisphere board of directors will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue

211


Table of Contents

preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Hemisphere Class A common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of Hemisphere board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Hemisphere or the removal of existing management. No shares of Hemisphere preferred stock are being issued in connection with the Transaction or registered hereunder.

Hemisphere Warrants

        Each Hemisphere warrant issued upon conversion of the Amended Azteca Warrants as a result of the consummation of the Transaction will entitle the registered holder to purchase shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on the same terms as were in effect with respect to the Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, subject to adjustment as discussed below. Hemisphere may, but is not required to, file with the SEC a new registration statement for the registration under the Act of the exercise of the warrants for Hemisphere Class A common stock. If Hemisphere shall elect to file such new registration statement, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as is necessary to register or qualify for sale, in those states in which the warrants were initially offered by Hemisphere, the Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, Hemisphere shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the earlier of (x) the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement and (y) the date Hemisphere shall determine to suspend such effectiveness or withdraw such registration statement. Hemisphere intends to file a registration statement relating to the Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Hemisphere warrants and to keep such registration statement effective after the consummation of the Transaction. If Hemisphere shall have filed a new registration statement following the consummation of the Transaction and such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th business day after the consummation of the Transaction, holders of the Hemisphere warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st business day after the consummation of the Transaction and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective, and during any other period when Hemisphere shall otherwise not have an effective registration statement covering the Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Hemisphere warrants, to exercise such warrants on a "cashless basis." If Hemisphere shall not have filed a new registration statement within 30 days following the consummation of the Transaction, holders of the Hemisphere warrants shall have the right, beginning on the 31st day following the consummation of the Transaction, to exercise such warrants on a "cashless basis," exchanging the warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Act or another exemption).

        Even if Hemisphere does file such a registration statement but later withdraws or does not maintain its effectiveness, Hemisphere will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. If an exemption is not available, the Hemisphere warrants will be exercisable only if a registration statement relating to the Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Hemisphere warrants is effective and a prospectus relating to the Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Hemisphere warrants is current. The Hemisphere warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Transaction, at 5:00 p.m., New York time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

        Once the Hemisphere warrants become exercisable, Hemisphere may call the Hemisphere warrants (except for the Sponsor Warrants and Seller Warrants) (as described below) for redemption:

212


Table of Contents

        The redemption notice will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered holders of the Hemisphere warrants.

        Hemisphere has established the last of the redemption criteria discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the exercise price of the Hemisphere warrants. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and Hemisphere issues a notice of redemption of the Hemisphere warrants, each Hemisphere warrant holder will be entitled to exercise of such holder's Hemisphere warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the per share price of Hemisphere Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price as well as the $12.00 exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

        If Hemisphere calls the Hemisphere warrants for redemption as described above, Hemisphere management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise such holder's Hemisphere warrants to do so on a "cashless basis." If Hemisphere management takes advantage of this option, all holders of Hemisphere warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering such holder's Hemisphere warrants for that number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock underlying the Hemisphere warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Hemisphere warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" shall mean the average closing sales price of the Hemisphere Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Hemisphere warrants. If Hemisphere management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock to be received upon exercise of the Hemisphere warrants, including the "fair market value" in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of an Hemisphere warrant redemption.

        The exercise price, the redemption price and number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable on exercise of the Hemisphere warrants (as described above) may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the exercise price and number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issuable on exercise of the Hemisphere warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Hemisphere Class A common stock at a price below the exercise price of the Hemisphere warrants.

        The Hemisphere warrants will be issued in registered form and governed by the Warrant Agreement, as amended by the Warrant Amendment, between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Hemisphere. You should review a copy of the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment of Warrant Agreement, which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Hemisphere warrants.

        The Hemisphere warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of

213


Table of Contents

the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to Hemisphere, for the number of Hemisphere warrants being exercised. The Hemisphere warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Hemisphere Class A common stock or any voting rights until they exercise their Hemisphere warrants and receive shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock upon exercise of the Hemisphere warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by holders of Hemisphere Class A common stock.

        It is a condition to the closing of the Transaction that the terms of the Amended Azteca Warrants are amended as described herein. In addition, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement, Azteca will purchase from the Current Sponsor Warrantholders 2,333,334 Amended Azteca Warrants (i.e. warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares of Azteca common stock) for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50.

        Immediately following the consummation of the Transaction, Hemisphere will sell to the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, an aggregate of 2,333,334 warrants to purchase 1,166,667 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock that are substantially identical to the Amended Azteca Warrants held by the Public Warrantholders for a purchase price per warrant equal to $0.50. We refer to these warrants as the "Seller Warrants."

        Hemisphere will not be required to cash settle any such exercise of Hemisphere warrant under any circumstances.

        No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Hemisphere warrants. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by the registered warrantholder. For example, if a registered warrantholder holds one warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Hemisphere Class A common stock, such warrant shall not be exercisable. If a registered warrantholder holds two warrants, such warrants shall be exercisable for one share of Hemisphere Class A common stock.

Sponsor Warrants and Seller Warrants

        Upon consummation of the Transaction, the Sponsor Warrants and Seller Warrants will have terms and provisions that will be identical to the Amended Azteca Warrants, except that (i) the Sponsor Warrants and Seller Warrants will not be redeemable by Hemisphere so long as they are held by Azteca's Current Sponsor Warrantholders, and the WAPA/Cinelatino Investors, respectively, or their respective permitted transferees and may be exercised on a cashless basis and (ii) Amended Azteca Warrants will be redeemable by Hemisphere and may be exercised by their holders on a cashless basis. The Sponsor Warrants and Seller Warrants are subject to the transfer restrictions described above under "The Agreements—Additional Agreements—The Lock-up Agreement."

Dividends

        The payment of cash dividends will be dependent upon the revenues and earnings of Hemisphere, if any, capital requirements, the general financial condition of Hemisphere and by the funds that its subsidiaries are permitted to dividend to Hemisphere. Both WAPA and Cinelatino are limited in their ability to (i) pay cash dividends or make other distributions (including management or similar fees) to their equity holders and (ii) make investments in non-credit parties, including, following the consummation of the Transaction. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of WAPA—Discussion of Indebtedness" beginning on page 108 and

        The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of the Hemisphere board of directors at such time. It is the present intention of the Hemisphere board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the business operations and, accordingly, the Hemisphere board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

        The transfer agent for Hemisphere Class A common stock and Hemisphere Class B common stock and warrant agent for warrants will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Hemisphere has agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

Regulatory Restrictions

        Hemisphere's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that if Hemisphere believes that the ownership or proposed ownership of shares of capital stock of Hemisphere by any person may result in a violation of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies (an "FCC Regulatory Limitation"), such person shall furnish promptly to Hemisphere such information as Hemisphere shall request. If (a) any person from whom information is requested should not provide all the information requested by Hemisphere or (b) Hemisphere shall conclude that a stockholder's ownership or proposed ownership of, or that a stockholder's exercise of any rights of ownership with respect to, shares of capital stock of Hemisphere results or could result in an FCC Regulatory Limitation, then Hemisphere may (i) refuse to permit the transfer of shares of capital stock of Hemisphere to such proposed stockholder, (ii) suspend those rights of stock ownership the exercise of which causes or could cause such FCC Regulatory Limitation, (iii) redeem such shares of capital stock of Hemisphere held by such stockholder in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Hemisphere's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (iv) require the conversion of any or all of the shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock held by such stockholder into an equal number of Hemisphere Class A common stock and/or (v) exercise any and all appropriate remedies, at law or in equity, in any court of competent jurisdiction, against any such stockholder or proposed transferee, with a view towards obtaining such information or preventing or curing any situation which causes or could cause an FCC Regulatory Limitation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Azteca Acquisition Corporation

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Azteca Acquisition Corporation (a corporation in the development stage) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the periods from April 15, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011, as well as for the period from April 15, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2012. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Azteca Acquisition Corporation (a corporation in the development stage) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the periods from April 15, 2011 (inception) to December 31 2011 and April 15, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in

the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company's will commence with liquidation procedures in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination (as defined) prior to April 6, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

        As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the accompanying 2011 financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

Azteca Acquisition Corporation
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012

(1) Organization and Nature of Business Operations

        Azteca Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") is a recently-formed Delaware blank check company, initially formed in the British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on June 8, 2011, for the purpose of, directly or indirectly, effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets ("Business Combination").

        The Company expects that the Transaction (described in Note (10)) will be completed in April 2013. All activity through December 31, 2012 relates to the Company's formation, initial public offering ("Public Offering") described below in Note 4, and after the Public Offering, the identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate a Business Combination and execution of the Transaction.

        The registration statement for the Public Offering was declared effective on June 29, 2011. The Company consummated the Public Offering on July 6, 2011 and received net proceeds of approximately $101,218,000, which included $3,500,000 received for the purchase of 4,666,667 warrants by Azteca Acquisition Holdings, LLC (the "Sponsor") and is net of non-deferred underwriting commissions of $1,750,000 and approximately $532,000 of offering costs.

        The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward effecting a Business Combination. For purposes of consummating its initial Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on operating businesses that have their primary operations located in either Mexico or the United States. While the Company may pursue a Business Combination in any business industry or sector, the Company intends to focus on industries or sectors that complement its management team's background, such as the fields of transportation, industrials, manufacturing, food and beverage, financial services, hospitality, agribusiness, media (including television and newspapers), sports, real estate, energy, and businesses focused on serving the needs of Hispanic markets. The Transaction is with WAPA and Cinelatino, two businesses focused on serving the needs of Hispanic markets.

(2) Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

        In February 2013, the Company concluded it should correct its accounting related to the Company's outstanding warrants. The Company had initially accounted for the warrants as a component of equity but upon further evaluation of the terms of the warrant, concluded that the warrants should be accounted for as a derivative liability. The warrants contain a restructuring price adjustment provision, such that, in the event the Company completes a business combination subsequent to the initial Business Combination which results in the Company's shares no longer being listed on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, the exercise price of the warrants will decrease by a formula that causes the warrants to not be indexed to the Company's own shares. As a result of this provision, the Company has restated its financial statements to reflect the Company's warrants as a derivative liability with changes in the fair value recorded in current period earnings. The restructuring price adjustment provision will be eliminated in connection with the Transaction.

        Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with ASB ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share". Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in the money warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate potentially dilutive shares, as if they were converted into common stock at the beginning of the period. At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 14,666,667 shares of common stock. For all periods presented, the weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, dilutive loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250.000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

        The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined by FASB ASC 915, "Development Stage Entities," and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any income to date. All activity through the date the financial statements were issued relates to the Company's organizational activities relating to the Public Offering, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, activities relating to execution of the Transaction, and activities relating to general corporate matters. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company has generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on the trust account.

        Investment securities consist of United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 "Investments—Debt and Equity Securities." Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

        A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities' fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.

        Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the "interest income" line item in the statements of operations. Some treasury securities were purchased at a small discount during the period from the closing of the Public Offering through

December 31, 2012, resulting in a non-material accretion of interest income. Interest income is recognized when earned.

        As discussed in Note (1), all of the 10,000,000 common shares sold as part of the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of common shares under the Company's liquidation or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company does not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that in no event will they redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders' equity) to be less than $5,000,001. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the Company would be required to pay for all shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required pursuant to the minimum cash condition of the Merger Agreement exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to it, the Company will not consummate the Transaction, and any shares validly submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, which such shares may subsequently be redeemed upon liquidation of the Company for a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account.

        The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock shall be affected by charges against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99. Accordingly, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 8,707,126 and 8,590,461 public shares, respectively, are classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value. The redemption value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable (approximately $10.05 at December 31, 2012 and 2011).

        The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 740, "Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had recorded a full valuation allowance of $299,000 and $99,000, respectively, related to the Company's deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset is primarily comprised of expenses not deductible in the development state. Effective tax rates differ from statutory rates due to timing differences in the deductibility of expenses.

        There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2012. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The adoption of the provisions of ASC 740 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

        The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is therefore required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.

        The Company accounts for the 14,666,667 warrants issued in connection with the its Initial Public Offering (10,000,000) and Private Placement (4,666,667) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-45-7D whereby under that provision they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with private placements of securities has been estimated using the warrants quoted market price.

(4) Public Offering

        The Public Offering called for the Company to offer for sale 10,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (each, a "unit"). Each unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, and one warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at a price of $12.00 per share. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination or twelve months from the closing of the Public Offering, provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the public Warrants has not been declared effective within 60 business days following the closing of its initial Business Combination, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of common stock to the holder upon exercise of Warrants during the exercise period, or if Warrant holders did not exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis under the above provision, there will be no cash settlement of the Warrants and the Warrants will expire worthless. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants

(4) Public Offering (Continued)

in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the closing sales price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

        A contingent fee equal to 3.75% of the gross offering proceeds from the Public Offering will become payable to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the "Underwriter") from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event the Company consummates its initial Business Combination.

        The Underwriter was also granted a 45-day option (August 15, 2011) to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. The Underwriter did not exercise the over-allotment option and as such the Sponsor forfeited 375,000 of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note (6) below).

(5) Liquidation and Going Concern

        If the Company does not effect a Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the public offering (April 6, 2013), as discussed in Note 4, the Company will liquidate the trust account and distribute the amount then held in the trust account, including interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $50,000 of such net interest that may be released to the Company from the trust account to pay liquidation expenses, to the Company's public stockholders, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. On January 22, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which it will combine with Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. This transaction is further described in Note 10.

(6) Related Party Transactions

        The Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor for an aggregate of $100,000 on April 20, 2011. The note was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of March 31, 2012 or the date on which the Company consummated the Public Offering. This note was repaid in full on July 7, 2011.

        The Company has agreed to pay $10,000 a month for office space, utilities, administrative services and secretarial support to Galco, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor. Services commenced on June 30, 2011, the date the securities were first quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system, and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial Business Combination and the liquidation of the Company. The Company paid $120,000 under this agreement for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $70,000 for the period ended December 31, 2011.

(6) Related Party Transactions (Continued)

        The Sponsor purchased, in a private placement, 4,666,667 warrants simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering on July 6, 2011, at a price of $0.75 per warrant (a purchase price of $3,500,000) from the Company, proceeds of which are being held in the trust account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then these proceeds will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants issued to the Sponsor will expire worthless. The Company classifies the private placement warrants within permanent equity as additional paid-in capital in accordance with FASB ASC 815-40.

        On April 15, 2011, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares of common stock ("Founder Shares") for an aggregate amount of $25,000, or $0.0087 per share. On June 8, 2011, the Sponsor transferred 50,000 shares to each of John Engelman and Alfredo Elias Ayub, its two independent directors, for nominal consideration (the Sponsor and Messrs. Engelman and Elias together are the "initial stockholders").

        The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the units that were sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions. The Sponsor agreed to and did forfeit 375,000 Founder Shares after the Underwriter informed the Company that it would not exercise any of the over-allotment option described in Note 4 above.

(7) Investments Held In Trust Account

        Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the simultaneous private placement of the Sponsor warrants, a total of $100,500,000 was placed in the trust account. As of December 31, 2012, investment securities in the Company's trust account consisted of $100,440,549 in U.S. government Treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. In addition, the trust account also included $131,565 held in cash. The carrying amount, excluding accrued interest income, gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2012, was as follows:

(8) Fair Value Measurements

        The Company has adopted ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement", for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        The following tables present information about the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

active trades the Company uses the last reported closing trade price of the warrants to determine the fair value (Level 2).

        United States Treasury Securities: The Company used Level 1 inputs to value the U.S. Treasury securities in our trust account for disclosure purposes.

(9) Stockholders' Equity

        Common Shares—the Company has 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. Holders of the Company's common shares are entitled to one vote for each common share. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 12,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding, which includes 8,707,126 and 8,590,461 shares, respectively, subject to possible redemption.

        Preferred Shares—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

(10) The Transaction

        On January 22, 2013, Azteca Acquisition Corporation ("Azteca"), Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. ("Hemisphere"), InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC ("WAPA"), Cine Latino, Inc. ("Cinelatino"), Hemisphere Merger Sub I, LLC ("WAPA Merger Sub"), Hemisphere Merger Sub II, Inc. ("Azteca Merger Sub") and Hemisphere Merger Sub III, Inc. ("Cinelatino Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the combination of Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino (the "Transaction") as indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere, which will be a parent holding company.

        As a result of the Transaction, the holders of Azteca common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Azteca Common Stock"), will receive shares of Hemisphere Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Hemisphere Class A Common Stock"), and the equityholders of WAPA and Cinelatino (the "WAPA/Cinelatino Investors") will receive shares of Hemisphere Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Hemisphere Class B Common Stock", and together with the Hemisphere Class A Common Stock, the "Hemisphere Common Stock"). All shares of Hemisphere Common Stock will vote together as a single class, with the Hemisphere Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and the Hemisphere Class B Common Stock having 10 votes per share. In connection with the Transaction, Hemisphere intends to apply to list its shares of Hemisphere Class A Common Stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") and expects that its warrants will trade on the OTCBB following the consummation of the Transaction.

(11) Subsequent Events

        On February 1, 2013, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor in an aggregate amount of $250,000. The note is non-interest bearing and is payable by Azteca or Hemisphere at or prior to consummation of the Transaction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC
New York, NY

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in member's capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

        Nature of business:    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of InterMedia Español Holdings,  LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. For the purpose of these financial statements, "the Company" is used to refer to InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC and/or any or all of its subsidiaries. The Company conducts its business through its subsidiaries and has no operations or assets other than the investments in its subsidiaries.

        The Company was organized as an infinite lived Limited Liability Company by its Parent Company, InterMedia Partners VII, L.P, as InterMedia Puerto Rico Holdings, LLC, and then its name was changed to its current name.

        As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company is the owner of the following corporations:

        A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:

        Principles of consolidation:    The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        Revenue recognition:    Revenue related to the sale of advertising and contracted time is recognized at the time of broadcast. Retransmission consent fees and subscriber fees received from cable, telecommunications and satellite operators are recognized in the period in which the services are performed, generally under multi-year carriage agreements based on the number of subscribers.

        Barter transactions:    The Company engages in barter transactions in which advertising time is exchanged for products or services. Barter transactions are accounted for at the estimated fair value of the products or services received, or advertising time given up, whichever is more clearly determinable. Barter revenue is recognized at the time the advertising is broadcast. Barter expense is recorded at the time the merchandise or services are used and/or received.

        Barter revenue and expense included in the consolidated statements of income are as follows:

 
  2012   2011   2010  

Barter revenue

  $ 1,363,066   $ 1,021,418   $ 1,284,852  

Barter expense

    (996,034 )   (849,552 )   (1,169,997 )
               

  $ 367,032   $ 171,866   $ 114,855

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Accounts receivable:    Accounts receivable consist of short-term receivables that arise in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Past due receivables do not accrue interest.

        Accounts receivable are carried at the original charge amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon prior experience and its assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. Uncollectible accounts receivable are written off when management determines that all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Accounts that have previously been written off and subsequently recovered are recorded when received. Bad debt (recoveries) expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to ($10,000), $202,000 and $44,000, respectively.

        Programming rights:    The Company enters into multi-year license agreements with various programming distributors for distribution of their respective programming ("programming rights") and capitalizes amounts paid to secure or extend these programming rights at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. If management estimates that the unamortized cost of its programming rights exceeds their estimated net realizable value, the Company will write down its programming rights. No such write down was deemed necessary during 2012, 2011 or 2010. The Company amortizes these programming rights over the term of the related license agreements. The amortization of these rights is recorded as part of cost of revenues in the accompanying statements of income. Costs incurred in connection with the purchase of programs to be broadcast within one year are classified as current assets, while costs of those programs to be broadcast subsequently are considered noncurrent. Program obligations are classified as current or non-current in accordance with the payment terms of the license agreement.

        Derivative financial instruments:    The Company's risk management policy is to use derivative financial instruments, as appropriate, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates related to debt with variable interest rates. The derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. These instruments are not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes; accordingly, gains and losses related to the net change in the fair value of the instruments are reflected as interest income or expense in the statement of income for each reporting period (see Note 6).

        Property and equipment:    Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the expected remaining useful lives of the respective assets. Useful lives range from 1 – 19 years for improvements, equipment, buildings and towers. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the determination of net income or loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

        Goodwill and other intangibles:    The Company's goodwill was recorded as a result of the Company's business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Indefinite lived intangible assets include a broadcast license, and a trademark. Other intangible assets include customer relationships with an estimated useful life of ten years. Other intangible assets are amortized over their

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

estimated lives using the straight-line method. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the asset.

        The Company tests its broadcast license annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of these assets with their carrying amounts using a discounted cash flow valuation method, assuming a hypothetical start-up scenario.

        The Company tests its goodwill annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the Company with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the Company is determined through the use of a discounted cash flow analysis incorporating variables such as revenue projections, projected operating cash flow margins, and discount rates.

        The valuation assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model reflect historical performance of the Company and prevailing values in the markets for broadcasting properties. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

        The Company tests its other indefinite lived intangible assets annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value.

        Cash:    The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

        Fair value of financial instruments:    The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value because this instrument bears interest at a variable rate and is at terms currently available to the Company. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument is the estimated amount the Company would pay to terminate the interest rate swap agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparty for an asset and creditworthiness of the Company for a liability.

        Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Under this guidance, assets and liabilities carried at fair value must be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

F-27


Table of Contents


InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        The categorization of an asset or liability within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

        Fair value of the Company's derivative financial instrument, its sole financial instrument measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is derived using valuation models that take into account the contract terms such as maturity dates, interest rate yield curves, the Company's creditworthiness as well as that of the counterparty and other data. The data sources utilized in these valuation models that are significant to the fair value measurement are Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

        The Company's programming rights are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as they are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values exceed their fair values. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 there were no adjustments to fair value.

        Income taxes:    Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting using statutory rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is applied against deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

        The Company follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These standards require management to perform an evaluation of all income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's income tax returns to determine whether the income tax position meets a "more likely that not" standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for federal and state purposes. To the extent that interest and penalties are assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income taxes, such amounts are accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense.

        Deferred costs:    Deferred costs consist of deferred financing costs, which are recorded net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on the effective-interest method over the term of the applicable loan. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $858,357, $678,640, and $0, which is included in interest expense, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years

ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $1,536,997 and $678,640 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        Recent accounting pronouncements:    In June 2011, there were revisions to the accounting standard for reporting comprehensive income, which requires the presentation of the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company elected to present this information in a separate statement following the consolidated statement of income. The revisions are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and the adoption did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

        In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that aligns the guidance on fair value measurements in the impairment test of unamortized film costs with the guidance on fair value measurements in other instances within U.S. GAAP. For SEC filers, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2012. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2012, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

        Use of estimates:    In preparing these financial statements, management had to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheets date, and the reported revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Reclassifications:    Certain items in the 2011 consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 consolidated balance sheet presentation with no effect on net income or changes in member's capital.

        Subsequent events:    Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 1, 2013, the date on which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

        The deferred tax amounts mentioned above have been classified on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 as follows:

 
  2012   2011  

Current assets

  $ 3,049,047   $ 4,247,953

  $ 3,912,299   $ 5,631,357  
           

        The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate taxing jurisdiction during the future periods in which the related temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce such deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be ultimately realized. The Company believes it is more than likely than not that it will realize the benefits of these deductible differences and has not provided a valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that it will be able to utilize its net operating losses carried forward and recognized an income tax benefit of $11,770,639 related to the reversal of the valuation allowance.

        As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward for US federal purposes of $0 and $9,676,801 respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards for US federal purposes totaling $14,872,636 and $13,455,096, respectively, which expire during the years 2028 through 2032.

Note 4. Income Taxes (Continued)

        For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the items that significantly affect the differences between the tax provision calculated at the statutory federal income tax rate and the actual tax expense recorded relates to increases in taxes in Puerto Rico that will not generate offsetting U.S. tax credits and permanent differences for meals and entertainment, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the items that significantly affected the differences between the tax provision calculated at the statutory federal income tax rate and the actual tax benefit recorded, are the change in valuation allowance, establishing a deferred tax branch benefit, and permanent differences for meals and entertainment.

        The Company may be audited by federal, state and local tax authorities, and from time to time these audits could result in proposed assessments. The Company has open tax years from 2007 forward for federal and state tax purposes. The Company believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

        Upon audit, taxing authorities may prohibit the realization of all or part of an uncertain tax position. While the Company has no history of tax audits, the Company regularly assesses the outcome of potential examinations in each of the tax jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has accrued no uncertain tax position reserves or related interest and penalties.

  $ 52,404,000   $ 57,012,000  
           

        Loan payable to Bank of Nova Scotia:    On March 31, 2011, InterMedia Español, Inc. and Televicentro of Puerto Rico, LLC, collectively known in this note as "the Borrowers", entered into a loan agreement that included a $66,000,000 term loan and a $10,000,000 revolving credit line with a maturity of March 31, 2016. The loan is guaranteed by InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC, the direct holding company of InterMedia Español, Inc. and Televicentro of Puerto Rico, LLC, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries other than the Borrowers and secured by a first-priority perfected lien on all capital stock of and equity interests in each of the Borrowers and all other property and assets (tangible and intangible) of the Borrowers, whenever acquired and wherever located, subject to certain exceptions. The proceeds from the term loan were used to pay off in full a pre-existing loan, to finance a distribution to the member, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the financing.

        The loan bears interest at LIBOR rate plus an applicable LIBOR rate, or at a base rate plus an applicable base rate margin; both as amended from time to time based upon the consolidated leverage ratio for the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter, which as of December 31, 2012 was 3.8%. The term loan principal payments shall be payable on quarterly due dates commencing July 15, 2011 and a final installment on March 31, 2016.

Note 6. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

        In addition, pursuant to the terms of the loan, within 130 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Borrowers shall make a prepayment of the loan principal in an amount equal to 50% of the excess cash flow of the most recently completed fiscal year. Excess cash flow is generally defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization expense, less mandatory prepayments of the term loan, interest charges, income taxes and capital expenditures, and adjusted for the change in working capital. The percentage of the excess cash flow used to determine the amount of the prepayment of the loan declines from 50% to 25% at a lower leverage ratio for the Borrowers.

        There is an annual commitment fee of 0.75%, paid quarterly, on the revolving credit line for the unfunded amounts calculated daily as the amount by which the aggregate revolving credit line limit exceeds the aggregate outstanding unpaid principal amount. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the commitment fees were approximately $75,000 and $60,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no outstanding balances due under the revolving credit commitment.

        The credit facilities require that the Borrowers maintain certain financial ratios and restrict certain expenditures. As of December 31, 2012, the Borrowers were in compliance with all the loan covenants.

        Following are maturities of long-term debt, as of December 31, 2012, for the next five years:

2016

    32,868,000  
       

  $ 57,012,000  
       

        On April 13, 2011, the Company entered into a two-year interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $33,000,000 to receive interest at a variable rate equal to three (3) months LIBOR and to pay interest at a fixed rate of 1.143%. The interest rate swap agreement expires on April 15, 2013. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, this interest rate swap agreement had a fair value of $122,032 and $234,803 and is recognized in other accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized additional financing income (expense) of $112,772 and ($234,803) related to the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In connection with an interest rate swap agreement that expired on April 25, 2010, the Company recognized additional financing income of $952,934 related to the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement for the year ended December 31, 2010.

This agreement replaced a prior agreement entered into between the parties in 2007. The Management Services Fee is payable so long as no default shall have occurred or would result therefrom. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the payment of the Management Services Fee is expressly subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies to the payment in full of the term loan. Total expenses for management services amounted to $625,000, $625,000 and $250,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
Cine Latino, Inc.
Coral Gables, Florida

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cine Latino, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cine Latino, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

        Nature of business:    Cine Latino, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware entity, formed in 2007, which is 47.5% owned by MVS Multivision, S.A. de C.V. (formerly known as MVS Cine Latino, S.A. de C.V.) (a Mexican entity), 47.5% owned by InterMedia Cine Latino, LLC (a Delaware limited liability company) and 5% owned by the non-executive chairman of the Company's Board of Directors. InterMedia Cine Latino, LLC is owned by InterMedia Partners VII, LP ("InterMedia"). Through contractual and other special rights, InterMedia is considered to be in control of the Company. The Company is engaged in the business of producing, offering and distributing a 24-hours per day and seven-days per week, pay television channel designated "Cine Latino," the content for which is Spanish-language motion pictures or other film products. The channel is being distributed to various pay television systems pursuant to multi-year agreements throughout the United States, Mexico, Central America, South America, the Caribbean and Canada.

        The Company has significant transactions with MVS Multivision Digital S. de R.L. de C.V. and its affiliates (collectively "MVS"), which have officers and stockholders in common with the Company, as discussed in Note 2.

        Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, in the event of liquidation, InterMedia Cine Latino, LLC and the individual owner of a 5% interest have preference over MVS Multivision, S.A. de C.V. to the extent of their unreturned investment, as defined in the agreement.

        A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:

        Use of accounting estimates:    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Revenue recognition:    The Company recognizes revenue from cable, telecommunications and satellite operators as programming is provided, generally under multi-year carriage agreements based on the numbers of subscribers.

        Programming costs:    Programming costs are recorded in cost of revenues based on the Company's contractual agreements with various third party programming distributors which are generally multi-year agreements.

        Cash concentration:    The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

        Accounts receivable:    Accounts receivable are carried at the original charge amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. An account receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 60 days.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Due from related parties:    Certain amounts due from related parties are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts based on management's expectations related to the realization of collections and remittances by the related party.

        Programming rights:    The Company enters into multi-year license agreements with various programming distributors for distribution of their respective programming ("programming rights") and capitalizes amounts paid to secure or extend these programming rights at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. If management estimates that the unamortized cost of its programming rights exceeds their estimated net realizable value, the Company will write down its programming rights. The Company determined $32,965 of its programming rights was impaired during 2012. No such write down was deemed necessary during 2011 or 2010. The Company amortizes these programming rights over the term of the related license agreements or the number of exhibitions, whichever occurs first. The amortization of these rights, which was $2,302,185, $2,457,660 and $2,485,758 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is recorded as part of cost of revenues in the accompanying statements of income. Accumulated amortization of the programming rights was $3,247,258 and $ 3,342,456 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        Deferred financing costs:    Deferred financing costs are recorded net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on the effective-interest method over the term of the applicable loan. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $218,647, $338,083 and $100,638, which is included in interest expense, net on the accompanying statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $303,726 and $80,271 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        Income taxes:    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

        The Company records foreign withholding tax which is withheld by foreign customers from their remittance to the Company, on a gross basis as a component of income taxes and separate from revenue in the statement of income.

        The Company follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. To the extent

F-45


Table of Contents


Cine Latino, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

that interest and penalties are assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income taxes, such amounts are accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense.

        Derivative instruments:    The Company has entered into derivative instruments with the objective of managing its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates (see Note 3). The Company designated these instruments as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to its term loan. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective, and that is designated and qualifies as a cash-flow hedge, are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative that is used in a hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

        Fair value of financial instruments:    The carrying amount of cash, receivables and payables approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value because this instrument bears interest at a variable rate and is at terms currently available to the Company.

        Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Under this guidance, assets and liabilities carried at fair value must be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

        The categorization of an asset or liability within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

        Fair value of the Company's derivative instruments, its sole financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is derived using valuation models that take into account the contract terms such as maturity dates, interest rate yield curves, the Company's creditworthiness as well as that of the counterparty and other data. The data sources utilized in these valuation models that are significant to the fair value measurement are Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

        The Company's programming rights are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only when the unamortized costs exceed their fair values. For the years ended

December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 the Company recognized an impairment of $32,965, $0 and $0, respectively.

        Marketing costs:    The Company expenses marketing costs as incurred. The Company incurred marketing costs of $1,669,197, $1,101,771, and $1,381,880 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        Reclassifications:    Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 balance sheet to conform with the 2012 presentation with no effect on net income or stockholders' deficit.

        Recent accounting pronouncements:    In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 820): Presentation of Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2011-05"). The amendments in ASU 2011-05 require an entity to present the total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. The Company elected to present this information in a separate statement following the statement of income. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and the adoption did not have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

        In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-07, Entertainment—Films (Topic 926): Accounting for Fair Value Information That Arises after the Measurement Date and Its Inclusion in the Impairment Analysis of Unamortized Film Costs. This ASU aligns the guidance on fair value measurements in the impairment test of unamortized film costs with the guidance on fair value measurements in other instances within accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For SEC filers, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2012. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2012, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

        Subsequent events:    Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 1, 2013, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 2. Related Party Transactions

F-48

Note 2. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

development; identification and negotiation of new business initiatives; including sponsorship, new channels, direct-to-consumer products and other interactive initiatives through April 2013. Total expenses incurred under the consulting agreement for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $230,000, $230,000 and $194,000, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Future minimum payments under the agreement total $48,000. Amounts due to this related party amounted to $75,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        The agreement also grants the consultant the right to receive, upon a Liquidation Event, as defined in the agreement, or termination of the consultant agreement by the Company without cause, a Stock Appreciation Right Bonus equal to 5% of the excess of the Company's fair market value over an amount specified in the agreement. In the event the agreement is terminated by the Company without cause or by the consultant with cause as defined in the agreement, the Company will pay the consultant severance in an amount no greater than $120,000.

        The Company entered into programming agreements with an entity owned by the Company's non-executive chairman and 5% stockholder for the distribution of three specific movie titles. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, $112,500 and $150,000, respectively, is included in other assets as prepaid programming related to these agreements. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, $103,787 and $73,754, respectively, is included in programming rights related to these agreements.

Note 3. Term Loan and Derivative Instruments

        During 2011, the Company amended its credit facility with a financial institution and maximum borrowings were increased to $40,000,000. The loan is collateralized by the Company's assets and common stock, which the stockholders have pledged, and is guaranteed by the Company's stockholders. Principal and interest payments are due quarterly with interest at LIBOR plus 4% (4.31% as of December 31, 2012) through June 2017, at which time a balloon payment of the remaining principal is due. Amounts outstanding under the term loan as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $33,050,868 and $38,000,000, respectively. The term loan agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including the maintenance of certain ratios, as defined in the agreement. Interest expense, including amortization of loan costs, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $1,969,966, $1,638,030 and $1,519,330, respectively, of which $44,503 and $189,427 is included in accrued interest as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        Pursuant to the terms of the term loan agreement, within 95 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Company must make a prepayment of the loan principal. The prepayment is an amount equal to 50% of the excess cash flow of the most recently completed fiscal year, if the leverage ratio, as calculated as of the last day of such fiscal year, is 2.5 to 1.00 or greater, or 25% of such excess cash flow if the leverage ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 2.50 to 1.00. Excess cash flow is generally defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization expense, less mandatory prepayments of the term loan, interest charges, income taxes, and capital expenditures, and adjusted for the change in working capital.

        Aggregate future maturities required on long-term debt as of December 31, 2012 are as follows: $4,370,449 in 2013; $3,680,102 in 2014; $4,600,127 in 2015; $5,520,152 in 2016; and $14,880,038 in 2017.

        The Company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses interest rate cap and swap derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by

F-49

Note 3. Term Loan and Derivative Instruments (Continued)

interest rate volatility related to its LIBOR-based borrowings on its term loan. The Company had an interest rate swap agreement with a bank which expired in October 2010. This swap was designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge, which effectively fixed the interest rate at 5.12% on a notional principal amount of $17,500,000 through October 2010. During 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap and an interest rate swap agreement which as of December 31, 2012 have outstanding notional amounts of $0 and $17,000,000, respectively. The interest rate cap agreement limited the LIBOR rate on $19,000,000 of the amount borrowed to a maximum 1.0% rate and matured on June 30, 2012. The interest rate swap agreement converts the variable interest rate of LIBOR on $18,000,000 of the amount borrowed to a fixed rate of 1.195%, becoming effective on June 30, 2012, and maturing on July 8, 2013. These derivative instruments are being utilized to manage interest rate exposure over the period of the derivative instruments and are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the change in fair values of the derivative instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

        The following is the effect on the balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, of the derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow hedges:

Note 4. Income Taxes

        For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, income tax expense consists of the following:

 
  2012   2011   2010  

Current tax expense

  $ 3,105,658   $ 2,736,945   $ 1,598,457  

Deferred tax expense

    1,000,470     1,289,490     1,513,730  
               

  $ 4,106,128   $ 4,026,435   $ 3,112,187  
               

        Current tax expense includes foreign withholding taxes of $640,708, $550,586 and $181,869 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        Income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pre-tax book income primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal benefit, and foreign withholding taxes and credits. Income taxes in the amount of $778, $30,320 and $308,530 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were allocated to accumulate other comprehensive loss related to the change in fair value of the Company's derivative instruments (see Note 3).

        The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are presented below:

 
  2012   2011  

Deferred tax assets:

             

Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable

  $ 129,336   $ 150,890  

Reserve for pricing adjustments

    763,875     359,320  

Derivative instruments

    29,542     30,320  

Foreign withholding

    40,700      

Tax basis step-up

    13,691,686     15,115,176  
           

    14,655,139     15,655,706  

Deferred tax liabilities:

             

Prepaid expenses

    (24,317 )   (23,636 )
           

  $ 14,630,822   $ 15,632,070  
           

        The deferred tax amounts mentioned above have been classified on the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 as follows:

 
  2012   2011  

Current assets

  $ 2,362,627   $ 1,927,716  

Noncurrent assets

    12,268,195     13,704,354  
           

  $ 14,630,822   $ 15,632,070  

        In connection with the asset contribution agreement entered into in 2007, the Company was able to increase the tax basis of the assets acquired to their purchase price plus assumed liabilities (approximately $56,200,000). This increase in tax basis allows the Company to reduce ratably over 15 years the amount of future tax payments to the extent that the Company has future taxable income.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 4. Income Taxes (Continued)

As a result of the increase in tax basis, the Company is entitled to future tax benefits of $13,691,686 and $15,115,176 which is included as a deferred tax asset in the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which temporary differences are expected to reverse, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of these deductible differences and has not provided a valuation allowance.

        Management has evaluated the Company's tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. The Company does not anticipate that changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months will have a significant impact on its effective tax rate should any changes lead to the recognition of unrecognized tax benefits.

        The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Florida state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2009.

Note 5. Major Customers

        Revenues include amounts from three major unrelated customers totaling $5,924,345, $4,864,338, $2,957,113 and $5,452,000, $5,222,000, $3,069,000 and $5,160,000, $5,400,000 and $2,690,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The receivables due from those customers were $1,542,876, $777,969, $577,696 and $1,364,800, $861,000, $500,500 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 6. Other Commitments

        In 2010, the Company supports various initiatives to promote the channel. Total expenses incurred amounted to $1,388,801, $1,182,959 and $965,572, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and are included in cost of revenues. Future estimated payments required under the agreements as of December 31, 2012, are as follows: 2013 $1,350,619; 2014 $1,106,458; and 2015 $119,669.

A-64



        Section 10.6
    Counterparts.     This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together will be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. For purposes of this Agreement, facsimile signatures or signatures by other electronic form of transfer shall be deemed originals, and the parties agree to exchange original signatures as promptly as possible.


        Section 10.7
    Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.     This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including the Confidentiality Agreement and the documents and instruments referred to herein) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and except for, after the Effective Time, the rights of Azteca's stockholders to receive the Azteca Merger Consideration as specified in Section 2.1, and the rights of Azteca's, Cine's and IM's current directors and officers under Section 7.10, this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.


        Section 10.8
    Governing Law.     This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related thereto, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties, whether arising in Law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its rules regarding conflicts of Law to the extent that the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.


        Section 10.9
    Assignment.     Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.


        Section 10.10
    Consent to Jurisdiction.     Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement or the Transaction and obligations arising hereunder brought by any other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and

A-65


determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such Action for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transaction in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 10.10, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the Action in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement or the Transaction or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.


        Section 10.11
    Effect of Disclosure.     The disclosure of any matter in the Azteca Disclosure Schedule, the Cine Disclosure Schedule or the IM Disclosure Schedule shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by Azteca, Cine or IM, respectively, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purpose of this Agreement.


        Section 10.12
    Severability.     If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transaction is fulfilled to the extent possible.


        Section 10.13
    Waiver and Amendment; Remedies Cumulative.     Subject to applicable Law, (a) any provision of this Agreement (other than Section 8.1(a)) or any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any of the parties or compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement may be waived or (b) the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the parties here may be extended at any time prior to Closing. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom waiver is sought; provided, that any extension or waiver given in compliance with this Section 10.13 or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Subject to applicable Law, any of the provisions of this Agreement (other than Section 8.1(a) and the first sentence of this Section 10.13) may be amended at any time, whether before or after the receipt of the Azteca Stockholder Approval, by the mutual written agreement of IM, Cine and Azteca; provided, however, that after the Azteca Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no such amendment shall be made which by law requires further stockholder approval without such approval. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.


        Section 10.14
    Waiver of Jury Trial.     EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR

A-66


COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF IM, AZTECA OR ANY OF THE MERGER SUBSIDIARIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.


        Section 10.15
    Specific Performance.     The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by any party. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches and/or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or in Delaware state court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled to at Law or in equity.

ANNEX C

        Excerpt of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware on Appraisal Rights

§ 262. Appraisal rights.

        (a)   Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

        (b)   Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

C-1


Table of Contents

        (c)   Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

        (d)   Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

C-2


Table of Contents

        (e)   Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

        (f)    Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

        (g)   At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

        (h)   After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the

C-3


Table of Contents

fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

        (i)    The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

        (j)    The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

        (k)   From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

        (l)    The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20.    Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

Exculpation and Indemnification

        Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that are not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for the payment of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Hemisphere' certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of a director to the Registrant and its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by law.

        In addition, Section 145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or agents who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any third party proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or firm, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation is permitted to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made if such person will have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite the adjudication of liability. Hemisphere's certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of directors or officers of the Registrant for any liability incurred in their official capacity to the fullest extent permissible under the DGCL.

Indemnification Agreements

        Hemisphere may enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and key employees which may, in certain cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. The indemnification agreements may require Hemisphere, among other things, to indemnify such officers, directors and key employees against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or key employees of Hemisphere or of another entity at the request of Hemisphere and to advance the expenses incurred by such parties as a result of any threatened claims or proceedings brought against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Merger Agreement Provisions Relating to Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino Directors and Officers

        Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed that all rights of indemnification to Azteca's, WAPA's and Cinelatino's current and former directors, officers, managers and members, and any person who assumes such position prior to the effective date, provided by Azteca, WAPA or Cinelatino, as applicable, in their respective organizational documents or indemnification contracts will survive the mergers and continue in full force and effect and will be assumed and performed by Hemisphere and the surviving entities after consummation of the mergers. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires that Hemisphere maintain either (i) "tail" insurance policies purchased by Azteca, WAPA and Cinelatino with a claims period of no more than six years from the effective time of the mergers with respect to directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with benefits and levels no less favorable than Azteca's, WAPA's and Cinelatino's existing policies, or (ii) maintain Azteca's, WAPA's and Cinelatino's current directors' and officers' liability insurance policies for a period of six years from the effective time of the mergers or obtain substitute policies, in each case that provides coverage for events occurring on or before the effective time of mergers. The terms of the insurance policies will be no less favorable than Azteca's, WAPA's and Cinelatino's respective existing policies, unless the annual premiums of the policies would exceed 200% of the current policies' premiums as of the date of the merger agreement, in which case the coverage will be the greatest amount of coverage available for a premium amount not exceeding 200% of such current premiums.

Item 22.    Undertakings.

        (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

Table of Contents

        (b)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (c)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of Form S-4 within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

        (d)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
