Page 1 of 12 ISP-PDR-20160209-00002 E Channel 51 License Co LLC Petition for Declaratory Ruling Grant of Authority Date of Action: 12/06/2018 Channel 51 License Co LLC (Channel 51 Licensee or Petitioner) has filed a petition for declaratory ruling (Petition), pursuant to section 1.5000(a)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR § 1.5000(a)(1), asking the Commission to permit foreign ownership of Channel 51 Licensee's controlling U.S. parent, Channel 51, LLC (Channel 51 Parent), to exceed the 25 percent benchmark in section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4). Channel 51 Licensee filed its petition to qualify to bid in Auction 1002. On April 13, 2017, Petitioner was announced as a winning bidder in Auction 1002 (Public Notice, DA 17-314 (WTB 2017)). It filed its long-form application (FCC Form 601) on April 27, 2017 (ULS File No. 0007753604) and an updated Petition on May 11, 2017 (supplemented on Sept. 13, 2017; corrected on Nov. 21, 2017; updated on Oct. 31, 2018). According to the Petition, Channel 51 Licensee is wholly owned and controlled by Channel 51 Parent, both of which are limited liability companies organized in Delaware. The sole managing member of Channel 51 Parent is Mr. Paul Chisholm, a U.S. citizen. Petitioner asserts that Mr. Chisholm is vested with exclusive and full operational control over Channel 51 Parent and holds 0.62% of its equity interests in the form of Class A and Class B equity. The Petition states that Channel 51 recruited passive investors to finance the licenses it won at auction and created a "waterfall" investment structure with three classes of investors: Class A, Class B, and Class C. According to the Petition, two groups of such investors hold, directly and indirectly, equity interests of 10 percent or more in Channel 51 Parent: the Columbia Parties (an aggregate 19.78%, consisting of Classes A, B, and C equity) and the Future Fund Parties (an aggregate 48.16%, consisting of Classes A and B equity). The Petition explains that the Columbia Parties are organized in Delaware and commonly controlled by Columbia Capital, a U.S. venture capital firm founded in 1989 with headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. There are two branches of Columbia-controlled investment in Channel 51 Parent: one in Classes A and B, controlled by Columbia Capital VI, LLC (Columbia VI), and one in Class C, controlled by Columbia Spectrum, LLC (Columbia Spectrum). According to Petitioner, the Columbia VI investment is held directly by Columbia Capital Equity Partners VI (QP), L.P. (CCEP) (4.38% equity) and indirectly by its general partner, Columbia Capital Equity Partners VI L.P. (CCEP VI) (0.73% equity). The general partner of CCEP VI, Columbia VI, controls additional direct equity investment in Channel 51 Parent (0.03%, in the form of Class A interests, and 2.58%, in the form of Class B interests), bringing the total Columbia VI-controlled investment in Channel 51 Parent to 7.72%. Petitioner states that all of the limited partnership interests in CCEP VI are insulated within the meaning of section 1.5003 of the rules. It also asserts that, although nine of the limited partnership interests in CCEP are not insulated, the limited partners that hold these interests are U.S. citizens. Petitioner further explains that the Columbia Spectrum investment is held directly by Columbia Spectrum Partners I-A, L.P. (Columbia Spectrum I-A) (11.49%) and indirectly by its general partner, Columbia Spectrum Partners G.P., L.P. (Columbia Spectrum Partners) (0.57%), bringing the total Columbia Spectrum-controlled investment in Channel 51 Parent to 12.06%. Petitioner states that all of the limited partnership interests in Columbia Spectrum I-A are insulated within the meaning of section 1.5003 of the rules (and, according to the Petition, there is no foreign ownership in Columbia Spectrum I-A). It asserts that, although the limited partnership interests in Columbia Spectrum Partners are not insulated, the limited partners that hold these interests are U.S. citizens. According to the Petition, each of Columbia VI and Columbia Spectrum is controlled by its managing members, James B. Fleming, Jr. and John T. Siegel, Jr. Messrs. Fleming and Siegel are U.S. citizens and share control of the Columbia Parties' aggregate 19.78% equity investment in Channel 51 (7.72% + 12.06%). Columbia VI and Columbia Spectrum each have four non-managing members, all of whom are U.S. citizens. The Petition states that the Future Fund Parties consist of Future Fund Investment Company No.5 Pty Ltd (FFIC5) (an Australian sovereign wealth fund) and its sole beneficial member, Future Fund Board of Guardians (FFBG) (a statutory body corporate established by the Future Fund Act of 2006 (Commonwealth of Australia)). FFIC5 holds directly 46.55% equity investment in Channel 51 and indirectly an additional 0.59%, both in the form of Class B equity for a total equity interest of 47.14%. FFBG, in turn, indirectly holds FFIC5's 47.14% equity interest, and it indirectly holds an additional 1.02% equity interest in Channel 51, in the form of Class A equity, through another wholly-owned subsidiary. Thus, Petitioner states, FFBG holds an aggregate 48.16% equity interest in Channel 51. According to the Petition, FFBG, supported by the Future Fund Management Agency, has responsibility for investing and managing Future Fund assets. Petitioner states that, while FFBG holds Future Fund assets for and on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia, FFBG is responsible for specific investment decisions and any control exercised in respect of those investments within the framework of the Act is exercised independently of the Government of Australia. FFBG holds all of the shares of FFIC5 through its custodian The Northern Trust Company (TNTC, organized in the State of Illinois). Likewise, FFIC5 has appointed TNTC to hold legal title to its interests in Channel 51 Parent. Petitioner states that, in relation to the investment in Channel 51, TNTC has no power or authority in respect of the investment except to the extent it is specifically directed to take action by FFIC5. Petitioner estimates that other foreign investors hold directly an aggregate 11.62% equity interest in Channel 51. It also estimates an additional 7.60% aggregate amount of indirect foreign investment. Pursuant to the rules and policies established by the Commission's Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order in IB Docket No. 11-133, FCC 13-50, 28 FCC Rcd 5741 (2013), as amended in GN Docket No. 15-236, FCC 16-128, 31 FCC Rcd 11272 (2016), we find that the public interest would not be served by prohibiting foreign ownership of Channel 51 Licensee in excess of the 25 percent benchmark in section 310(b)(4) of the Act. This ruling authorizes aggregate foreign ownership of Channel 51 Licensee's controlling U.S.-organized parent, Channel 51 Parent, to exceed, directly and/or indirectly, 25 percent of its equity and/or voting interests, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in section 1.5004 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR § 1.5004, including the requirement to obtain Commission approval before foreign ownership of Channel 51 Licensee exceeds the terms and conditions of this ruling. Specifically, this ruling approves the (1) 47.14% direct and indirect equity investment in Channel 51 Parent by FFIC5 and (2) the 48.16% indirect equity investment by FFBG. Channel 51 Licensee has an affirmative duty to monitor its foreign equity and voting interests, calculate these interests consistent with the principles enunciated by the Commission, including the standardsPage and criteria 2 of set forth12 in sections 1.5002 through 1.5003 of the Commission's principles enunciated by the Commission, including the standards and criteria set forth in sections 1.5002 through 1.5003 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR §§ 1.5002-1.5003, and otherwise ensure continuing compliance with the provisions of section 310(b) of the Act. See 47 CFR § 1.5004, Note to paragraph (a). We grant the Petition to Adopt Conditions to Authorizations and Licenses (Petition to Adopt Conditions) filed in this proceeding on June 27, 2018 by the Department of Justice (DOJ), including its components, the National Security Division (NSD) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) (Petition).
