Overview of Discussion Topics

Goldman Sachs appreciates the opportunity to continue working with Getty to assess current market dynamics and potential alternatives to maximize long term shareholder value

Getty has a legacy of success in the visual content market with its portfolio of creative imagery and footage

Business growth prospects remain strong but the traditional businesses face challenges

— New content forms and purchasing models emerge as viable competitors

The valuation of the Company has experienced a significant decline due to a change in views on fundamental growth potential of the Company as it is undergoing a business portfolio and model transition

To support the Board in its evaluation of alternatives, in today’s materials we review:

— Stand-alone financial outlook

— Current stand-alone valuation

— Capital structure management alternatives and potential impact on standalone valuation

— Potential sale alternatives to strategic and financial buyers

Goldman Sachs

Overview of Alternatives

Company remains public

Status Quo Assumes current capital structure

— Re-financing of extant convertible (including associated taxes) and short-term line of credit

— Assumes no incremental/new share repurchases

Company remains public and undertakes more aggressive recapitalization funded by incremental debt to drive EPS growth and lower cost of capital

Target leverage levels up to 3.5x LTM EBITDA

Levered Recapitalization

— Incur incremental debt to fund share repurchase

Scenarios assume upfront FY2008 repurchase

Assume no change in forward Price/Earnings ratio

Change of control transaction

Buyer expected to assume maximum reasonable and marketable leverage

— In a normal market environment, target leverage levels up to 6x LTM EBITDA

Leveraged Buyout

— Today’s financial market would likely support up to 4x LTM EBITDA leverage levels

Change-of-control transaction

Strategic Sale

Limited probable buyer universe

— Lack of strategic approaches in recent past

Research Analysts’ Perspectives on Getty Images

Opportunities

“The Getty Images business model remains attractive. Most of the images offered on gettyimages.com are owned by independent photographers, and are created at their expense. This means Getty’s Cost of Goods Sold expense (a photographer royalty) is incurred only if an image is sold and paid for only after Getty Images is paid. Those images that are owned by Getty (~20% of total) are capitalized and depreciated, and therefore carry a 100% gross margin. Thus, the business model has high fixed costs, resulting in significant operating leverage.” (Robert Baird, 2-Aug-2007)

“Micro-payment Momentum: While traditional still image volumes shrank in the quarter, micro-payment volumes came in at 4.25mn (above our 4mn estimate) up 113%Y/Y. ASPs continued to move higher, as the price increases in Jan continue to flow through to this quarter.” (Deutsche Bank 2-Aug-2007)

“Each of the people [at micro-payment companies] we spoke with mentioned growing quickly. However, even in the micro-payment market, Getty and Corbis continue to take the lion’s share of a price of picture sold (70-80%).” (Kaufman Brothers, 2-July-2007)

“[Pump] represents Getty’s initial foray into the music licensing business, which the Company characterized as highly fragmented and similar to where the imagery business was 10 years ago.” (William Blair, 21-June-2007)

Risks

“While we have long-term confidence in CEO Jonathan Klein’s ability to navigate the evolving business landscape in the visual content industry, we continue to expect this evolution to be highly disruptive to near-term financial results.

Accordingly, we see no rush to own the shares, despite a valuation that looks appealing relative to the stock’s historic trading range. (GS, 6-Aug-2007)

“The challenge is that demand is shifting toward less expensive images. Customers who might have bought RM in the past (ASP of $536) are buying RF images (ASP of $245), and customers who bought RF images are now buying micropayments (ASP $2).” (Robert Baird, 2-Aug-2007)

“Getty reported its third consecutive quarter of relatively in-line performance, following a string of four disappointing quarters; however, the company’s dramatic reduction in guidance will be coldly received by the market … There are no signs that Getty will reaccelerate revenue growth anytime soon, and we see risk that organic revenue contraction could worsen before it improves … As time passes and industry conditions continue to shift, we believe the likelihood that Getty will reestablish itself as a “growth” company is somewhat slim.” (William Blair, 2-Aug-2007)

High Yield Market Update

Recent New Issue Market and Backlog

The high yield primary market was quiet last week coming out of the Labor Day holiday as no new deals priced

The currently announced backlog remains very low, standing at 1 deal for $110 million. Investors are turning their attention to the substantial backlog, the majority of which is LBO-related, as it remains at unprecedented levels

Overall the market remains focused on the large forward calendar that is slated to come to market in the coming months

Market Conditions Weakening, Spreads Wider

Over the past three months, credit spreads have widened significantly as investor concern about the large forward calendar has decreased overall risk appetite. Market volatility has contributed to wider primary market pricing and decreased total issuance

Treasury yields have moved lower in recent weeks, but investors continue to demand high new issue premiums on top of the widening secondary levels, increasing the overall cost of new financing in the high yield market

The high yield market has witnessed continued mutual fund outflows over the course of the summer, although two consecutive weeks of inflows suggest that some capital is returning

Default rates remain substantially below historical averages

High Yield Market Statistics

Volume of Issuance: $126.0 bn YTD in 2007 vs. $97.2 bn YTD in 2006

Average Deal Size: $534 mm YTD in 2007 vs. $482 mm YTD in 2006

Average Yield: 8.863% YTD in 2007 vs. 8.876% YTD in 2006

Market Indicators

The US Treasury yields fell again last week. The 10-year was 16 bps stronger on the week to yield 4.37%. The yield on the 30-year was 12 bps better, ending at 4.70%

Key Issues to Consider in a Take Private Transaction

Rationale

Unique franchise value

Leveragability of the assets / business

— Good cash flow generation and relative projected stability

— Sustainability of strategic position

Potential for enhanced financial performance

— Portfolio reconfigurations

— More aggressive P&L management

— Investment for top line growth

Intact, experienced management team

Viable exit alternatives (sale, IPO, recap, consolidation platform, spin-offs)

Embedded option value in new businesses

Key Issues to Consider

Company/Management Perspective

Illiquid investment of uncertain duration

— Exit dependent on future market conditions and company performance

— Illiquid equity-based employee incentives

Equity sponsor(s) as new owner, decision maker

Substantially increases financial leverage and risk

— May limit financial flexibility for growth investments and acquisitions

— Debt covenants constrain financial flexibility

— Vulnerability to downturn in the industry

Less access to capital

— Potentially higher cost of financing

Sponsor Perspective

Potentially sub-optimal initial headline returns

Consideration of potential downside risk in traditional business

Need to underwrite venture risk of new businesses

New Challenges to LBO Transactions Have Arisen

ISS

ISS’s Contentious List highlights deals that are facing opposition or which ISS views to have “risks”

The list currently includes over 55% of pending LBO transactions

ISS has increasingly recommended votes against LBO transactions, including Clear Channel, Cornell Companies, Genesis Healthcare, Lone Star Steakhouse, Riviera Holdings and Shopko

Increased Disclosure

Rule 13e-3 requires exhaustive public disclosure

Courts are increasingly demanding detailed disclosure of projections, interactions between sponsors and management and other aspects of the process

Hedge Fund Activism

Trying to obtain “alpha” returns by demanding a higher price or asserting appraisal rights

Criticism of transactions, analyses and processes in public filings

Increasing Dissatisfaction from Mutual Funds

Dissatisfaction with high returns achieved by sponsors after public company is taken “private”

Skepticism about management’s role in process

Fewer U.S. public companies means fewer opportunities to invest

Mutual fund shareholders are sometimes publicly reported to be opposing certain LBO transactions

Increased Court Scrutiny

Litigation continues to target “going private” deals due to perceived settlement value

Recent court cases are focusing on the risks relating to LBO processes

Appraisal rights offer opportunity for court to recalculate the value of the company (plus interest) years after the deal closes
