the company in 2003. The 13 members of the management team, including CEO, John Porter, sold about 30 million shares in the Australian pay TV group to media mogul John Malone for $A1.15 each. They used about $A10 million of the proceeds to repay the loans. Austar's employee share plan aimed to provide

equity incentives similar to those used in Castle Harlan Australian Mezzanine Partners' investment in private businesses.
