Process Update

Process launched on October 23, 2007

5 sponsors invited to participate in phase 1. All submitted indications of interest. Sponsor D was eliminated from the process.

Based on inbound interest, three additional sponsors were invited to participate in the process and evaluated phase 1 diligence information. All three submitted indications of interest. Sponsor G was eliminated from the process.

Over the last few weeks, 2 sponsors indicated a potential inability to get to a final bid at reasonably attractive values and were removed from the process.

Getty Investments and its advisor, Allen & Co. were allowed access to data room information and management to evaluate their view on their potential participation in a potential transaction. They have not been allowed access to any of the bidders.

Private equity bidders have been prohibited from discussing rollover, incentive and employment opportunities with management and Getty Investments.

Strategic buyers were contacted during the week of January 14th (Strategic Party A and Strategic Party B). Additional strategic buyers have made inbound inquiries after the leak of the transaction in NY Times on January 21 (Reuters, Strategic Party C, Discovery Communications, Thomson, NBC)

— All have declined to participate in the process after initial discussions except for Strategic Party C. An NDA has been executed.

— One additional strategic party indicated an interest in partnering with potential buyer(s).

Since the press leak on January 21, GS has taken a number of inbound calls from other private equity firms, none of which, after careful consideration, have been added to the process.

H&F and Sponsor C submitted bids on Feb 4

— H&F: $32.75, with committed financing

— Sponsor C: $30.00, without financing

Recent Leveraged Loan Market Conditions

As of February 4, 2008

5 deals launched for $2.8 billion in the past week, up in number and volume from the 3 deals that launched for $564 million in the previous week

Blackstone announced that it was doubtful that regulators would approve Alliance Data’s $7.8 billion LBO financing. The removal of Alliance Data dropped the forward calendar to $153 billion

Single-B spreads widened by 11 bps to L+460, while Double-B spreads remained unchanged at L+298

Bleak economic tone continued to strain the secondary market:

— LCDX9: Despite a modest mid-week recovery from a record low of 92.5, the index ended this past week at 93.09

— Cash: Average secondary bids took a turn for the worse this past week, plunging to 88.98, marking the first time that secondary bids have traded in the optically significant sub-90’s context

— Alltel, First Data and TXU: The cash bellwethers all traded below 90.0, showing investor’s lack of confidence in even the largest LBO’s

High Yield Market Update

Recent New Issue Market and Backlog

The high yield primary market had 2 deals pricing for $6.5 billion, the vast majority of which backed the financing for Harrah’s jumbo LBO

After funding $6.3 billion Harrah’s bonds, the underwriters sold roughly $1.2 billion bonds in a large block trade to a single buy-and-hold account

Amid the turbulent market conditions this year, accounts continue to require considerable new issue premiums to insulate themselves from further volatility

Investors remain focused on the considerable LBO forward calendar that tops $60 billion of financing expected to come to market in the next few months

Economic worries, pending US recession, and bank loan market weakness continue to drive high yield market sentiment

Investors are still focused on the considerable overhang that remains in the forward calendar ($225bn+ between bank and bond)

Market Conditions Strengthen, Spreads Mixed

Equity markets rallied considerably last week as the central bank cut both the Fed Funds rate and discount rate by 50 bps to 3.0% and 3.5%, respectively

Economic data was mixed with home sales unexpectedly falling to a 12-year low and anemic fourth quarter GDP growth elevating recessionary concerns

The high yield market has witnessed perpetual mutual fund outflows in 2008 after continued outflows in the later half of 2007

Default rates for high yield issuers ended at 0.86%, the lowest level since 1981

High Yield Market Statistics

Volume of Issuance: $7.4 bn YTD in 2008 vs. $13.4 bn YTD in 2007

Average Deal Size: $1,846 mm YTD in 2008 vs. $436 mm YTD in 2007

Average Yield: 10.400% YTD in 2008 vs. 8.445% YTD in 2007

Market Indicators

Treasuries slumped modestly this week, with the yield on the 10-year benchmark Treasury weakening 4 bps from 3.59% to 3.55%

The yield on the 30-year Treasury weakened 5 bps, ending at 4.31%

Research Analysts’ Views

Comments

Opportunities

“We do believe iStockPhoto continues to be undervalued by investors. In 2008 we estimate iStock could contribute $95.1mm in revenue.” (Thomas Weisel, 1-Feb-2008)

“Getty has been investing aggressively in an effort to build out additional revenue streams through internal investment and acquisitions. As a result of this focus, the company is much better diversified than several years back and now boasts operations in areas outside of creative still single imagery…” (William Blair, 1-Feb-2008)

“While we believe it is too early to declare that the company’s core CSSI business has found a bottom, the fourth quarter offered up some encouraging signs of hope that a bottom may be near.”

(William Blair, 1-Feb-2008)

“Despite the challenges at Getty, its business model remains compelling and capable of generating significant amounts of free cash flow (FCF).” (William Blair, 1-Feb-2008)

“Film in particular could become an important driver in the future as technology on the internet and handheld devices makes film a more and more viable alternative to stills in Getty’s traditional end markets.” (Robert W. Baird, 1-Feb-2008)

“The Editorial segment showed 50% year-over-year growth. We expect that 2008 being an election and Olympic year that the Editorial area will continue to be a highlight for the company.” (Kaufman, 1-Feb-2008)

“Getty remains by far the leader of the stock photography industry, with revenues three times greater than its biggest competitor, Corbis.” (Robert W. Baird, 1-Feb-2008)

Risks

“The broader issues around the use of imagery within the advertising and media environment remain largely unchanged since last year as we continue to see pressure related to micro-payment substitution, competition and changes in purchasing patterns.” (Thomas Weisel, 1-Feb-2008)

“We believe the steps management has taken to improve the business have helped to offset a further acceleration of declines. While we view this as a positive, we believe it too early to call stabilization in the core business.” (Lehman Brothers, 1-Feb-2008)

“iStock is growing rapidly (84% yr-yr increase in downloads in the recent 3Q07) and Getty is well positioned to benefit from this trend. The unknown, however, is the extent to which micropayments will cannibalize traditional RF.” (Robert W. Baird, 1-Feb-2008)

“A downturn in the advertising market could negatively affect demand for the company’s photographic images, which are used primarily in marketing and advertising campaigns. Specifically, the stock photography market saw decreased demand during the 2001–2003 advertising market slump. Similarly, a failure of the Internet to develop as an advertising medium may result in our revenue estimates and 12-month target price not being achieved.” (Natixis Bleichroeder, 1-Feb-2008)

“Competition from existing firms or new entrants may affect the pricing structure of the industry or result in a loss of market share for Getty.” (Natixis Bleichroeder, 1-Feb-2008)

“With over half of Getty’s revenue non-U.S. dollar-denominated, currency fluctuations may negatively affect our financial forecasts.” (Natixis Bleichroeder, 1-Feb-2008)
