Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On February 27, 2020, Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (the “Company”) held a Special General Meeting of shareholders (the "Special General Meeting").

As of the close of business on December 27, 2019, the record date for the Special General Meeting, there were issued and outstanding 253,607,026 shares of Class A Common Stock, one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to 11,211,449 votes, and 200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock entitled to 111,136,877 votes in total. Holders of Class A Common Stock and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to vote on every proposal presented to the Special General Meeting and the holder of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock was entitled to vote on the first proposal only. There were shareholders present in person or by proxy holding more than a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast for each proposal and, therefore, a requisite quorum was present. The number of shares voted for or against, as well as abstentions and broker non-votes, if applicable, with respect to each proposal voted on at the Special General Meeting is set forth below.

Proposal 1. Approval of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 27, 2019, by and among the Company, TV Bidco B.V. (“Parent”), and TV Bermuda Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), the statutory merger agreement required in accordance with Section 105 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company of such merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).



For	Against	Abstain	Broker non-votes
325,691,592	1,650,443	100,273	Not applicable

Because the proposal received votes in favor of more than 75% of the votes cast by the holders of the shares of the Company entitled to vote at the Special General Meeting on this proposal, this proposal was approved.

Proposal 2. Approval on an advisory (non-binding) basis of the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger.



For	Against	Abstain	Broker non-votes
195,697,050	20,224,525	383,856	Not applicable

Because the proposal received votes in favor of more than a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares of the Company entitled to vote at the Special General Meeting on this proposal, this proposal was approved on an advisory basis.

Proposal 3. Approval of an adjournment of the Special General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve Proposal 1 at the Special General Meeting.

Because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special General Meeting to approve Proposal 1, the vote on this proposal was not called.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
