TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

The first part is this prospectus supplement, which contains specific information about the terms on which we are offering and selling our Class A common stock and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which contains and incorporates by reference important business and financial information about us and other information about the offering. If the information set forth in this prospectus supplement differs in any way from the information set forth in the accompanying prospectus or the information contained in any document or other information incorporated by reference herein, the information contained in the most recently dated document shall control.

Neither we nor the underwriters have authorized anyone to provide any information other than that contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or information to which we have referred you. We and the underwriters take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. Neither we nor the underwriters are making an offer to sell the shares of Class A common stock in any jurisdiction where the offer to sell is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents and other information incorporated by reference in either this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

TRADEMARKS

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To provide potential investors with additional financial information in connection with our results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows, or any other measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items and other gains and expenses that we believe are not part of our core operating business and are not an indication of our future earnings performance. Management uses this measure to assess the operating results and performance of the business, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is relevant to investors because it allows them to analyze the operating performance of our Business using the same metrics used by management and is important to investors’ understanding of the Business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income attributable to the Company adjusted for (i) net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), (iii) gain from insurance proceeds and other, net, (iv) interest expense and other, net, (v) impairment charges, (vi) gain from FCC spectrum repack and other, (vii) transaction and non-recurring expenses, (viii) depreciation and

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights only selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein, but does not contain all the information that may be important to you. Accordingly, you are encouraged to read this prospectus the supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the incorporated documents, carefully and in their entirety, especially the risks of investing in our Class A common stock discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report for the three months ended September 30, 2021 on Form 10-Q. See also the section entitled “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.”

Overview

We are a leading U.S. Spanish-language media company serving the fast growing and highly attractive U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets with a premium Spanish-language subscription video on-demand (“SVOD”) service, as well as broadcast and cable television networks. Our assets include a Spanish-language SVOD service distributed in the U.S., five Spanish-language cable television networks distributed in the U.S., two Spanish-language cable television networks distributed in Latin America, the #1-rated broadcast television network in Puerto Rico, a 40% interest in the #3-rated broadcast television network in Colombia and a leading distributor of content to television and digital media platforms in Latin America.

We target the fast growing and highly attractive U.S. Hispanic and Latin America markets. The number of U.S. Hispanic television households grew 6.8x more than the overall U.S. households between the period from the start of 2010 through the end of 2020. Additionally, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that between 2019 and 2030 there will be a 24% increase in the U.S. Hispanic population, reaching 75 million Hispanics in 2030. Pew Hispanic Trends estimates that 96% of Latinos believe that it’s important for future generations of U.S. Hispanics to speak Spanish.

On March 31, 2021, we acquired the remaining 75% in Pantaya that we did not already own. Pantaya is the number one Spanish-language SVOD platform in the United States by subscribers, with one million subscribers as of September 30, 2021, and approximately $50 million current annualized subscriber revenue run-rate (calculated based on our most recent subscriber count and annualizing our average monthly revenue per user in the quarter ended September 30, 2021). Pantaya targets a large, untapped addressable over-the-top (“OTT”) market for U.S. Hispanic viewers, offering content directly to viewers on smart phones, connected TVs and other internet-enabled devices. According to Collage Group, there are 34 million Spanish dominant and bicultural adults over the age of 18 in the U.S. accessing at least one streaming service. Out of that group, 25.2 million want more reflective characters and seek out shows and movies about Hispanic characters and stories. According to the Pantaya Brands Study 2021 by the Collage Group, only 32% of Spanish dominant and bicultural adults over the age of 18 are aware of Pantaya. This provides a substantial addressable market for us to target. As of September 30, 2021, Pantaya’s Android app was in the top 15 and the iOS app was in the top 18 for entertainment apps in the United States, the number one grossing Spanish-language entertainment app for both Android and iOS, and the most downloaded Android entertainment app in Puerto Rico since June 1, 2021.

Headquartered in Miami, Florida, our portfolio consists of the following:

Pantaya: the first ever premium subscription streaming service of Spanish-language media offering the largest selection of current and classic, commercial free blockbusters and exclusive rights to critically acclaimed movies and series from Latin America and the U.S. including original productions from Pantaya’s production arm, Pantelion, and titles from our library, as well as comedy series and concerts. The Company formed Pantaya in partnership with Lionsgate and launched the service in August 2017 with a 25% equity interest. On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 75% equity interest from Lionsgate, and Pantaya is now a fully consolidated subsidiary of the Company. As of

Snap Media is responsible for the distribution of content owned and/or controlled by our Networks, as well as content to be produced by the production joint venture between Snap Media and MarVista.

				REMEZCLA: a digital media company targeting English speaking and bilingual U.S. Hispanic millennials through innovative content. On April 28, 2017, we acquired a 25.5% interest in REMEZCLA.

Hemisphere was incorporated in Delaware on January 16, 2013. Shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”) are publicly traded under the symbol “HMTV” on NASDAQ.

Our Strategy

Our strategy in the U.S. is to provide unique programming focused on the large and rapidly growing U.S. Hispanic population, including super serving those segments often overlooked by our competitors. Our networks allow many viewers in the U.S. to feel connected with their home countries, including high quality, differentiated local news, sports and premium entertainment content. For instance, WAPA America is the only nightly newscast from Puerto Rico created for U.S. Hispanics, which is a part of the network’s over 67 hours of weekly original news and entertainment programming. Additionally, Pasiones remains the highest rated telenovela cable network in primetime to offer unique and popular telenovelas from around the globe. Pantaya furthers our deep and broad reach among the U.S. Hispanic population, as the leading premium subscription Spanish-language SVOD service to cater to this highly attractive demographic. By focusing on these specific Hispanic markets, we provide targeted, attractive and relevant content, while avoiding direct competition with channels such as Univision and Telemundo, which more acutely target the U.S. Mexican demographic. We believe that our portfolio of brands offers the only platform that speaks to all segments of the U.S. Hispanic population.

WAPA has been the #1-rated broadcast television network in Puerto Rico since the start of Nielsen audience measurement eleven years ago and management believes it is highly valued by its viewers and cable, satellite and telecommunications service providers. WAPA is distributed by all pay-TV distributors in Puerto Rico and has been successfully growing subscriber revenue. WAPA’s primetime household rating from January through September 2021 was over four times higher than the most highly rated English-language U.S. broadcast network in the U.S., NBC, and higher than the combined ratings of CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX. As a result of its ratings success since the start of Nielsen audience measurement, management believes WAPA is well positioned for future growth in subscriber revenue.

WAPA America, Cinelatino, Pasiones, Centroamerica TV and Television Dominicana occupy a valuable and unique position, as they are among the small group of Hispanic cable networks to have achieved broad distribution in the U.S. We expect WAPA America, Cinelatino and Pasiones to launch on YouTube TV in the quarter ending March 31, 2022, further accelerating the breadth of their distribution. As a result, management believes our U.S. cable networks are well-positioned to benefit from growth in both the growing national advertising spend targeted at the highly sought-after U.S. Hispanic cable television audience, and growth in the U.S. Hispanic population, which is expected to continue its long-term upward trajectory. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that nearly 60.5 million Hispanics resided in the United States in 2019, representing an increase of more than 25 million people between 2000 and 2019, and that number is projected to grow to 75 million by 2030. U.S. Hispanic television households grew by 33% during

S-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the period from 2010 to 2021, from 12.9 million households to 17.2 million households. Although our U.S. cable networks total subscribers declined during 2020, given the projected growth of the U.S. Hispanic population, we are optimistic that our U.S. cable networks total subscribers will see renewed long-term growth.

Our strategy in Latin America is to make similar strides as our networks in the U.S. Additionally, Canal 1 represents one of only three national broadcast television networks in Colombia, the second largest Latin American advertising market (excluding Brazil). We believe that Canal 1 can create a compelling, differentiated programming option in Colombia, similar to our experience with WAPA in Puerto Rico. In Latin America, Cinelatino and Pasiones are included in basic broadcast packages. We believe we are underpenetrated in the market, which provides room for growth and increased market share. We believe that our business model is highly scalable and that we could drive profitable growth by replicating this model across Latin America.

We believe that our platform value is significant, allowing us to leverage content and distribution relationships across different geographies. We are able to use compelling content that we own or have licensed across our media properties, giving us economies of scale.

Our objective is to maintain and improve our position as a leading U.S. Spanish-language media company serving the U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets by, among other things:

Growing subscriber revenue—We believe Pantaya and our Networks are well-positioned to further grow our subscriber revenue, fueled by strong ratings, continued growth in our target demographic audiences and robust content portfolio. For example, WAPA entered into renewals with two of the largest Distributors in Puerto Rico on very favorable terms by virtue of its dominance in the Puerto Rico market, and these agreements will generate significant subscriber revenue growth for us. With no reverse compensation, our subscriber revenue has high margin flow through to income. We expect to continue to expand the distribution of our Networks in the U.S. through virtual MVPDs, such as YouTube TV, launches in the coming year, and our two Latin American cable networks on additional systems in under-penetrated markets. For example, on April 1, 2019, Pasiones was launched by Charter Communications, Inc. across Spectrum’s systems nationally in the U.S. and, as a result, Pasiones is now available on all major Distributors nationwide. Pantaya launched on YouTube TV in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, expanding its customer base and driving subscriber revenue. As multi-channel video distributors, such as cable, satellite and telecommunications service providers, which we refer to MVPD, and app platform distributors become more focused on targeting the Hispanic audience as a way to grow subscribers, we believe that our Networks and SVOD service will be well-positioned to capture the upside. In Latin America, Cinelatino and Pasiones are each currently distributed to only approximately 26% of pay-TV subscribers (excluding Brazil), creating an opportunity to expand distribution through new launches. We plan to leverage the promotional strength of our Networks to meaningfully accelerate Pantaya’s subscriber growth.

Investing in content for our Networks to build viewership—We have made substantial investment in our programming and marketing efforts in order to expand our distribution reach, build viewership and subscriber base, as well as increase our attractiveness to advertisers. We will continue to invest in programming in 2022 through original production, licensing and acquisition. Pantaya is set to more than double its slate of original premium content in the coming year, increasing both the quality and volume of its programming, including through leveraging studios in Puerto Rico. At WAPA, we have successfully created a highly differentiated content strategy and in doing so, have maintained a #1 ratings ranking in the Puerto Rico market for twelve consecutive years. Cinelatino, as the only buyer of scale that can cover both the U.S. and Latin American markets for television rights to Spanish-language films, is well-positioned to acquire the best content available at favorable terms and has built an expansive content library.

Driving growth in advertising sales—We continue to see a large opportunity to increase our advertising revenues. Our U.S. cable networks are well positioned to benefit from the advertising spend targeted at the highly sought-after U.S. Hispanic audience. Over the past ten years, Hispanics have accounted for 51% of all U.S. population growth, outpacing all other non-Hispanic groups. U.S. Hispanics are an attractive group for advertisers with massive and rapidly growing buying power expected to reach $2.6 trillion by 2024, according to Nielsen Diverse Intelligence Series, 2020. From 2010 to 2019, Hispanic buying power increased by 69%, outpacing non-Hispanics, whose buying power increased by 41% during the same

TABLE OF CONTENTS

time, according to The Multicultural Economy, 2019 by the Selig Center for Economic Growth. We offer a unique and differentiated target audience for our advertisers, driven by our targeted demographic and our ability to segment the U.S. Hispanic population. The Latin American feed of Cinelatino remains commercial-free, presenting an opportunity to be converted to an ad-supported model in select robust advertising markets.

Develop and expand content licensing revenue—Presently, our two primary revenue streams are subscriber revenue and advertising revenue, but we believe an opportunity exists to grow our revenues from content licensing. We own and control all media rights for a vast majority of our content and we continue to produce original content for our channels. In November 2018, we acquired Snap Media, which provides us with the expertise and relationships to expand our content licensing business. Our strategy is to window content across our platforms and to license the content to third parties for exploitation on free-TV, pay-TV, OTT, SVOD and AVOD platforms in the U.S. and Latin America. We believe this high-margin revenue from content licensing will help drive our revenue growth and profitability.

Well-positioned to capture growth from over-the-top distribution—We believe that the digital media opportunity has the potential of providing long-term growth and value, and that we are well-positioned to capture that upside. We own digital rights for the vast majority of our content and are distribution agnostic when it comes to capturing viewers wherever and however they choose to consume video content.

Opportunity to expand data analytics with in-house technology platform—We continue to believe in the value of listening to our customers and responding with content that is meaningful and applicable. To that end, we are in the process of migrating off of the Starz, LLC technology platform and creating a content and marketing infrastructure of our own. With growth at Pantaya, we will be able to generate more data-driven insights regarding our customers and their preferences and stay at the cutting edge of market trends.

Acquisition-driven growth—We continue to look for attractive opportunities that are complementary and accretive to our existing business. We intend to take a long-term view and primarily seek opportunities which will expand our leadership position in the fast growing and highly desirable Spanish-language media market in the U.S. and Latin America. We intend to seek a variety of acquisition opportunities, including businesses where we believe a catalyst for value realization is already present, or where we can realize synergies with our existing businesses. These may include Spanish-language cable networks distributed in the U.S., Latin American broadcast and cable television networks, radio stations, production companies and content libraries.

Revenue Sources

Our two primary sources of revenues are advertising revenue and subscriber revenue. All of our Networks derive revenues from advertising. Advertising revenue is generated from the sale of advertising time, which is typically sold pursuant to advertising orders with advertisers. Our advertising revenue is tied to the success of our programming, including the popularity of our programming with our target audience. Our advertising is variable in nature and tends to reflect seasonal patterns of our advertisers’ demand, which is generally greatest during the fourth quarter of each year, driven by the holiday buying season. In addition, Puerto Rico’s political election cycle occurs every four years and we benefit from political advertising in an election year. For example, in 2020, we experienced higher advertising sales as a result of political advertising spending during the 2020 Puerto Rico gubernatorial elections. The next gubernatorial election in Puerto Rico will be in 2024.

All of our Networks receive fees paid by MVPDs. These revenues are generally based on a per subscriber fee pursuant to multi-year contracts, commonly referred to as “affiliation agreements,” which typically provide for annual rate increases. The specific subscriber revenue we earn varies from period to period, Distributor to Distributor and also varies among our Networks, but is generally based upon the number of each Distributor’s paying subscribers who receive our Networks. The terms of certain non-U.S. affiliation agreements provide for payment of a fixed contractual monthly fee. Changes in subscriber revenue at our Networks are primarily derived from changes in contractual affiliation rates charged for our Networks and changes in the number of subscribers. MVPDs report their subscriber numbers to our Networks generally on a two month lag. We record revenue based on estimates of the number of subscribers utilizing the most recently received remittance reporting of each MVPD, which is consistent with our past practice and industry practice. Revenue is recognized on a month by month basis when the performance obligations to

S-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provide service to the MVPDs is satisfied. Payment is typically due and received within sixty days of the remittance. Our Networks depend upon agreements with a limited number of Distributors.

We also generate subscriber revenue from monthly subscriptions to Pantaya, our SVOD service. The SVOD service is available directly to consumers through our web application as well as through distribution partners. Certain distribution partners charge a per subscriber fee, which is recorded in cost of revenues. Subscribers are billed at the start of their monthly or annual membership and revenue is recognized ratably over each applicable membership period. Subscriber revenue varies from period to period and is generally based upon the number of paying subscribers to our SVOD service. Estimates of revenue generated but not yet reported by the Company’s third party Distributors are made based on the estimated number of subscribers using the most recently received remittance reporting from each Distributor, which is consistent with our past practice and industry practice.

We continually review the quality of our programming to ensure that it is maximizing our platforms’ viewership and giving our platforms’ subscribers a premium, high-value experience. Growth in our subscriber revenue will, to a certain extent, be dependent on the growth in direct subscribers to our SVOD service, growth in subscribers of the cable, satellite and telecommunication service providers distributing our Networks as well as the app platforms distributing our SVOD service, new system launches including launches on virtual MVPDs (e.g. YouTube TV, Hulu, etc.) and continued carriage of our Networks and SVOD service by our distribution partners. Our revenues also benefit from contractual rate increases stipulated in most of our affiliation agreements.

Industry

U.S. Hispanic Market

Hispanics represent the largest minority group in the U.S. at 18% of the total U.S. population and a rapidly expanding demographic, accounting for 60% of the total U.S. population growth between 2000 and 2019. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 60.5 million Hispanics resided in the United States in 2019, an increase of more than 25 million people between 2000 and 2019. This trend is expected to continue as the U.S. Hispanic population is projected to grow to 75 million by 2030, an increase of 24% from 2019. As a result of this growth, the U.S. Hispanic market represents massive addressable market equivalent to the eighth largest economy in the world and with buying power expected to reach $1.9 trillion by 2022. In addition, the Hispanic population on average is significantly younger than the overall population. For example, the median age of U.S. Hispanics is 30, which is 14 years younger than the median age for non-Hispanic whites.

Not only is the Hispanic population in the U.S. significantly younger than the overall population, but the Hispanic population is more connected and more inclined to consume information online. Connected device penetration is significantly higher, with ownership of smartphones, computers and smart TVs over-indexed to the total U.S. population by 104%, 113% and 125%, respectively. Four out of ten hours of Hispanic TV content viewing are streamed, and the Hispanic population over-indexes on streaming as their number one source of entertainment, at 34% versus 28% for the total U.S. population. Moreover, Hispanics average 4.9 subscription services compared to 3.9 for non-Hispanic whites according to Independent Pricing Study by Price AI, 2021 and Horowitz’s State of Pay TV, OTT & SVOD 2021 survey (mixed methodology online / phone).

Claritas estimates that as of January 1, 2021, about 62% of the U.S. Hispanic population was of Mexican origin, followed by Puerto Rican, the second largest Hispanic national group, at approximately 10%. There are more than 6.2 million Puerto Ricans and an additional 5.6 million Hispanics from other Caribbean countries residing in the mainland U.S., and together, Puerto Ricans and other Caribbean Hispanics represent approximately 19% of the total U.S. Hispanic population. The Puerto Rican population in the U.S. (outside of Puerto Rico) grew 84% from 2000 to 2021, while the overall Caribbean Hispanic population grew 99% during the same time period, including the Dominican population which grew 130% from 2000 to 2021.

Central Americans are the third largest U.S. Hispanic regional population group in the U.S. (behind Mexicans and Caribbean Hispanics), and represent the fastest growing segment of the U.S. Hispanic population. There are over 5 million Central Americans residing in the U.S., an increase of 218% since 2000. Central Americans comprise approximately 8% of the U.S. Hispanic population in 2021, compared to approximately 4% in 2000.

Hispanic Television and Pay-TV Landscape

Within the U.S. cable network industry, the U.S. Hispanic demographic is attractive for a number of reasons:

•

Growth in Hispanic TV households: U.S. Hispanic television households grew by 33% during the period from 2010 to 2021, from 12.9 million households to 17.2 million households, over six times the overall U.S. television household growth of only 5.3%. The continued long-term growth of Hispanic television households creates a significant opportunity to reach an attractive audience at a time when overall household growth in the U.S. is more modest.

•

Hispanic pay-TV subscribers: Although Hispanic pay-TV subscribers declined during 2020, given the expected growth in the Hispanic population in the U.S., we are optimistic that Hispanic pay-TV subscribers will see renewed long-term growth, particularly as our Networks launch on virtual MVPDs.

Television Viewing and Language Preferences

•

Hispanics Enjoy Movies: In 2019, the last year in which data is available, Hispanics made up only 18% of the U.S. population, yet they comprised 26% of the country’s frequent moviegoers (i.e., those who attend movies at least once per month). In fact, the President of the National Association of Theater Owners described Hispanics as “the most valuable component of moviegoers.” In 2019, Hispanics saw 4.7 movies per year, higher than any other ethnicity group.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Hispanics Prefer Television in Spanish: Spanish remains the most used language in the home by U.S. Hispanic adults, and this powerfully influences television viewing habits. According to Nielsen, 58% of Hispanics aged 18 and over speak Spanish as much as or more than English in their homes. Spanish-dominant or bilingual (Spanish/English Equal) homes comprise about 64% of U.S. Hispanic households, and these homes exhibit a strong preference to watch television in their native language. In 2020, Spanish-dominant adults in key marketing demographics viewed 64% of television in Spanish and bilingual adults viewed about 20% of television in Spanish.

Hispanic Advertising Market

Persons living in Hispanic television households represent 18% of the total U.S. television household population and 11% of the total U.S. buying power, but the aggregate media spend targeted at U.S. Hispanics significantly under-indexes both of these metrics. As a result, advertisers have been allocating a higher proportion of marketing dollars to the Hispanic market, but U.S. Hispanic cable advertising still under-indexes relative to its consumption. Hispanic household income is growing much faster than the generally population making this an increasingly attractive demographic for advertisers. From 2010 to 2019, U.S. Hispanic buying power increased by 69%, outpacing non-Hispanics, whose buying power increased by 41% during the same time, according to The Multicultural Economy, 2019 by the Selig Center for Economic Growth.

Similar to the under-indexing of U.S. general market cable advertising relative to viewing share in the 1980’s and 1990’s, U.S. Hispanic cable advertising today significantly under-indexes relative to its share of the Spanish-language television audience. In 2018, the latest year in which U.S. Hispanic television advertising data is available, U.S. Hispanic cable networks garnered only 5% of total U.S. Hispanic national television advertising, while accounting for a 17% share of total Spanish-language television viewing in 2018. Viewing of Spanish-language cable networks as a percentage of total Spanish-language television viewing has grown dramatically from 11% in 2008 to 16% in 2020.

Latin American Market (excluding Brazil)

Pay-TV subscribers in Latin America grew by 17% from 2014 to 2020, and are projected to grow an additional 5 million from 55 million in 2020 to 60 million by 2025. Pay-TV penetration of television households has expanded from 46% in 2014 to 48% in 2020 and is projected to remain stable at 48% through 2025. Cinelatino and Pasiones are currently distributed to less than 30% of pay-TV subscribers in Latin America (excluding Brazil) presenting an attractive growth opportunity.

Colombia, where we own 40% of Canal 1, the #3-rated broadcast television network, is a large and appealing market for broadcast television. Colombia had a population of 51 million as of December 31, 2020, the second largest in Latin America (excluding Brazil). According to IBOPE, the three major broadcast networks in Colombia receive a 59% share of overall viewing. These factors result in an annual market for free-to-air television advertising of approximately $207 million (as converted utilizing the average foreign exchange rate during the period).

Puerto Rico Overview

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and has a U.S. dollar-based economy, U.S. rule of law and strong governmental ties to the United States. The broadcast television industry in Puerto Rico is regulated by the FCC, and the banking system is regulated under the U.S. system (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation). Puerto Rico has a population of approximately 2.8 million, with an additional 6.2 million Puerto Ricans living in the mainland U.S. All Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.

Economy

Oxford Economics estimates the gross domestic product (GDP) for Puerto Rico decreased by 5.2% in 2020 due primarily to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by the government in response to the same. They are estimating strong growth in 2021 as recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continues, with GDP growth of 4.2%. Longer term, generous US funding for fiscal

S-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stimulus should allow gradual fiscal adjustment to remain viable. They are forecasting GDP growth of 3.3% in 2022 followed by GDP growth of 2.5% in both 2023 and 2024.

Puerto Rico has also made tremendous progress on the vaccination front. In fact, Puerto Rico has a lower rate of COVID-19 cases than any U.S. state and a higher rate of vaccination against COVID-19 than any state except Vermont (according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data as of November 10, 2021), which has facilitated a return to normalized commercial activity and strong growth in the advertising market. Most key economic metrics are trending very positively. The tourism and hospitality sector in Puerto Rico has seen tremendous growth. In August 2021, occupancy rates exceeded the comparable period in 2019 for the fourth consecutive month, according to Tourism Analytics. Year-to-date, airport passenger traffic has more than doubled compared to last year and has now exceeded 2019 levels, according to Tourism Analytics. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, auto sales were up 66% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 32% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, according to the United Automobile Importers Group (based on units), and year-to-date cement sales through August were higher than the level of sales seen through the same periods in 2018 and 2019 when the island was rebuilding following the 2017 hurricanes, according to the Economic Development Bank for Puerto Rico.

Stimulus packages passed by Congress managed to contain some of the damage caused by the pandemic and saved many businesses from bankruptcy. The CARES act established the PUA (Pandemic Unemployment Assistance) and PPP (Pandemic Payroll Protection) programs. More than $16 billion in federal funds were assigned to the island. Combined with funds received due to damages from Irma and María, the past 4 years have seen more than $76 billion in federal funds assigned to the island, out of which approximately 43% have been disbursed. The continued disbursement of these funds, in addition to Puerto Rico’s leading rates of vaccination, should stimulate significant consumer spending and growing economic activity over the coming years.

Puerto Rico Broadcast Television Market

Puerto Rico has 1.3 million television households, comparable to that of a top 25 U.S. television market. Puerto Rico is the third largest U.S. Hispanic market behind Los Angeles and New York.

Puerto Rican television broadcasters capture the dominant share of viewership, which is unique relative to the U.S. The three primary broadcasters in Puerto Rico—WAPA, Telemundo and TeleOnce (formerly Univision)—collectively garner approximately 75% of all television household viewership in primetime, distinguishing Puerto Rico from the U.S. television market, where the four major national broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) garner a collective primetime audience share of approximately 25%. In fact, WAPA’s primetime household rating from January through September 2021 was over four times higher than the most highly rated English-language U.S. broadcast network in the U.S., NBC, and higher than the combined ratings of CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX.

Our Platforms and Joint Ventures

Pantaya

Started in 2016 and launched in 2017, Pantaya is a premier Spanish-language streaming service. Pantaya targets the growing U.S. Hispanic audience and offers a unique premium selection of blockbuster and critically acclaimed current theatrical releases and exclusive original series unavailable anywhere else. Pantaya owns the rights for many films, comprising the vast majority of Mexico’s domestic film box office since 2017 and 14 of the 20 highest grossing Mexican films of all time. In March 2021, we acquired the remaining 75% of Pantaya from Lionsgate that we did not already own.

Pantaya also has an in-house production studio, Pantelion, which has accounted for many of Pantaya’s hit programming. Pantaya has output deals with the top four film distributors in Mexico. We believe Pantaya has access to over 80% of theatrical productions from Mexico and the Caribbean and a wide breadth of genres and titles produced in the U.S., Mexico, Latin America and Spain, as well as to super star talent for future programming. As of September 30, 2021, Pantaya had 1.0 million subscribers.

Pasiones

Pasiones, launched in August 2008, focuses on one of the most popular program genres among Hispanics, telenovelas. The network sets itself apart by showcasing telenovelas produced in Latin America, Turkey, India, South Korea and other countries (dubbed into Spanish), in contrast to competitor networks such as Univision TLNnovelas, which focus almost exclusively on Mexican telenovelas. This diverse programming strategy made Pasiones the highest rated telenovela cable television network in primetime in 2020. In owning both Pasiones and Cinelatino, we provide content in two of the most popular genres with Hispanics, telenovelas and movies.

Pasiones has two feeds of its service, one that is distributed in the U.S. and a second that is distributed throughout Latin America.

Joint Ventures/Investments

On November 30, 2016, we, in partnership with Colombian content producers, Radio Television Interamericana S.A., Compania de Medios de Informacion S.A.S. and NTC Nacional de Television y Comunicaciones S.A., were awarded a ten (10) year renewable television broadcast concession license for Canal 1 in Colombia. Canal 1 is one of only three national broadcast television networks in Colombia. The partnership began operating Canal 1 on May 1, 2017. In July 2019, the Colombian government enacted legislation resulting in the extension of the concession license for an additional ten years for no additional consideration. The concession is now due to expire on April 30, 2037 and is renewable for an additional 20-year period. Canal 1 is the #3-rated broadcast television network in Colombia. At December 31, 2020, we owned a 40% interest in the joint venture, which is deemed a VIE that is accounted for under the equity method.

On April 28, 2017, we acquired a 25.5% interest in REMEZCLA, digital media company targeting English speaking and bilingual U.S. Hispanic millennials through innovative content. The investment is accounted for under the equity method.

On November 26, 2018, Snap Media acquired a 50% interest in Snap JV, LLC (“Snap JV”) (we own 75% of Snap Media), a joint venture with MarVista, to co-produce original movies and series. The investment is deemed a VIE that is accounted for under the equity method. We expect to wind down this joint venture in the near term.

Our Competition

We compete for the development and acquisition of programming, distribution of our Networks and Pantaya, selling of commercial time on our Networks, viewership of our Networks and Pantaya, and on-air and creative talent.

Pantaya has numerous competitors who offer subscription streaming services, including Netflix, Discovery, Viacom, Disney, Amazon and AT&T. Additionally, Univision has announced that they are launching their own subscription streaming service in 2022. These competitors may secure better terms from content suppliers, adopt more aggressive pricing and devote more resources to product development, technology, infrastructure, content acquisitions and marketing. We also compete with providers of AVOD, which offer consumers free content in exchange for viewing advertisements.

Our Networks compete with other Spanish-language broadcast and cable television networks, streaming platforms and other digital media companies for the acquisition of programming, viewership, the sale of advertising and creative talent. Our ability to produce and acquire popular content impacts our viewership and the sale of advertising.

We also compete with both Spanish-language and English-language broadcast and cable television networks for distribution of our Networks and the fees paid by cable, satellite and telecommunication service providers. Our ability to retain and secure distribution agreements is necessary to maintain and grow subscriber revenue, and to attain viewership which drives advertising sales. Our contractual agreements

with Distributors are renewed or renegotiated from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The launch of new networks and consolidation within the cable and satellite distribution industry may adversely affect our ability to obtain and maintain distribution of our Networks.

Additionally, new entrants may enter the market or existing providers may adjust their services with unique offerings or approaches to providing entertainment video. Companies also may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions.

Certain technological advances, including the increased deployment of fiber optic cable, are expected to allow cable and telecommunication video service providers to continue to expand both their channel and broadband distribution capacities and to increase transmission speeds. In addition, the ability to deliver content via new methods and devices is expected to increase substantially. The impact of such added capacities is hard to predict, but the development of new channels of content distribution could lead to increased competition for viewers by facilitating the emergence of additional channels and mobile and internet platforms through which viewers could view programming that is similar to that offered by our Networks.

WAPA competes with broadcast television networks and cable television networks in Puerto Rico for audience viewership, advertising sales, and programming. WAPA’s main competitor is the Puerto Rican Telemundo affiliate, which relies heavily on programming from the U.S., consisting primarily of telenovelas produced in Mexico, the U.S. and Latin America. There are a few other local broadcasters, but they tend not to be competitive due to weak programming and/or poor signal quality. In addition, while all major English-language U.S. broadcast networks have local affiliates, they are, for the most part, low power stations with nominal ratings. Cable channels are generally not competitive, as they tend to be U.S.-based, English-language channels with little relevance to the Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican audience, and pay television is much less widely penetrated in Puerto Rico than the U.S. WAPA has effectively customized its programming for the viewing preferences of the Puerto Rican market with more local entertainment and news programming than its competitors, as well as blockbuster Hollywood movies and hit U.S. television series (dubbed into Spanish). As a result, since the start of Nielsen audience measurement, WAPA has been the ratings leader for the past eleven years. WAPA Deportes competes for viewership, advertising sales and programming with other channels offering similar sports programming in Puerto Rico. Competitors include U.S.-based cable networks, such as ESPN, TNT, and TBS. WAPA.TV, WAPA’s mobile-optimized website, directly competes with other local news, weather and entertainment sites for traffic and advertising sales. To some extent, WAPA.TV also competes with search engines and social networks, such as Google and Facebook, for digital advertising revenue.

Many of the competitors noted in this section have long operating histories, large customer bases, strong brand recognition, exclusive rights to certain content and significant financial, marketing and other resources, and our financial resources may be relatively limited when contrasted with many of these competitors.

Summary Risk Factors

Participating in this offering involves substantial risk. Some of the more significant challenges and risks we face include the following:

•

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had and could continue to have significant negative effects on our Business and poses risks to our Business, results of operations and financial position, as well as our investment in a joint venture among us and Radio Television Interamericana S.A., Compania de Medios de Informacion S.A.S. and NTC Nacional de Television y Comunicaciones S.A. to operate a broadcast television network in Colombia, Canal 1;

S-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Service providers could discontinue or refrain from carrying our Networks, decide not to renew their distribution agreements or renew on less favorable terms, which could substantially reduce the number of viewers and harm our Business and operating results;

•

The success of our Business is dependent upon advertising revenue, which is seasonal and cyclical, and will also fluctuate as a result of a number of other factors, some of which are beyond our control;

•

If our Networks’ or Pantaya’s viewership declines for any reason, or our audience ratings decline for any reason or our Networks fail to develop and distribute popular programs, our advertising and subscriber fee revenues could decrease;

•

Our Networks and Pantaya may not be able to grow their subscribers and/or affiliate revenue, or such subscribers and/or revenues may decline and, as a result, our revenues and profitability may not increase and could decrease;

•

Demand for our programming and our Business, financial condition and results of operations are affected by changes that impact Hispanics living in the United States;

•

The television markets in which our Networks operate is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively, particularly against competitors with greater financial resources, brand recognition, marketplace presence and relationships with service providers;

•

Interpretation of certain terms of our distribution agreements may have an adverse effect on the distribution payments we receive under those agreements;

•

We have operations, properties and viewers that are located in Puerto Rico and Florida and could be adversely affected in the event of a hurricane or other extreme weather conditions;

•

A large portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number of customers, and the loss of these customers could adversely affect our Business;

•

The success of our Business is highly dependent on the existence and maintenance of intellectual property rights in the entertainment products and services we create; and

•

The cable, satellite and telco-delivered television industry is subject to substantial governmental regulation for which compliance may increase our Networks’ costs, hinder our growth and possibly expose us to penalties for failure to comply.

The ordering of the risk factors set forth above is not intended to reflect our indication of priority or likelihood. These and other risks are more fully described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment in our Class A common stock.

Summary Historical And Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data

The following tables set forth our summary selected historical financial data as of September 30, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and as of December 31, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The summary selected historical financial data as of December 31, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are incorporated by reference herein. The summary selected historical financial data of September 30, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 has been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are incorporated by reference herein. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for these periods. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2021. The summary selected historical consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-Q and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes which are incorporated by reference herein.

On March 31, 2021, we acquired (the “Pantaya Acquisition”) from Artisan Home Entertainment Inc. its seventy five percent (75%) equity interest in Pantaya, LLC (“Pantaya”). Prior to the Pantaya Acquisition, the Company owned a twenty five percent (25%) equity interest in Pantaya, and as a result of the acquisition, Pantaya is now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary.

The summary unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data presented below gives effect to the Pantaya Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020. The summary unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, and Pantaya’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for its year ended March 31, 2021 included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K/A filed on June 16, 2021. As permitted under Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X, because the difference between the Company’s and Pantaya’s fiscal year ends are less than 93 days, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2020 was prepared using the Company’s and Pantaya’s annual audited statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company’s and Pantaya’s historical consolidated financial statements were adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition; (2) factually supportable; and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any revenue enhancements or cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies which could result from the Pantaya Acquisition.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the managements of Company and Pantaya believe reasonably reflect the Pantaya Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements data is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of the Company would have been had the Pantaya Acquisition occurred on the date assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

Reconciliation Of GAAP To Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented a certain non-GAAP financial measure, “Adjusted EBITDA.” Management uses this measure to assess the operating results and performance of the business, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is relevant to investors because it allows them to analyze the operating performance of the Company’s business using the same metrics used by management and is important to investors’ understanding of the Company’s business.

The following table presents our Adjusted EBITDA measures for the periods indicated and provides a reconciliation of net income (loss), which we believe is the most closely comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

An investment in shares of our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prior to investing in our shares of Class A common stock, we encourage each prospective investor to carefully read this entire prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following risk factors and the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus and the risk factors set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. See “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” and “Available Information” in this prospectus supplement. Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently view as immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. If any of these risks occur, the value of our shares of Class A common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your original investment.

Risks Related to This Offering and our Class A Common Stock

Our management will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock offered hereby and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock offered hereby, and our shareholders will not have the opportunity as part of their investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. You may not agree with our decisions, and our use of the net proceeds may not yield any return on your investment. Our failure to apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock offered hereby effectively could compromise our business strategy and we might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on our investment of these net proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use our net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock offered hereby.

Raising additional funds by issuing equity securities may cause additional dilution.

We have taken, and may continue to take, significant actions to secure additional financing to increase our liquidity, including through equity financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, you may experience substantial dilution.

Future sales of our common stock by us or our existing shareholders, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our share price.

Our board of directors has the authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue any or all authorized but unissued shares of our Class A common stock, including securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock and authorized but unissued shares under our equity compensation plans or otherwise. In the future, we may issue such additional securities, through public or private offerings, in order to raise additional capital. Any such issuance will dilute the percentage ownership of shareholders and may dilute the per share projected earnings or book value of our Class A common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market after this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Class common stock to decline and may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

We, our executive officers and directors, and certain of our affiliates have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriter under which we and they have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, directly or indirectly, any of their shares of common stock without the permission of the underwriter for a period of 90 days following the date of this prospectus supplement. We refer to such period as the lock-up period. When the lock-up period expires, we, our executive officers and directors and certain of our affiliates will be able to sell Class A common stock in the public market, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws restrictions. In addition, the underwriters may in its sole discretion, release all or some portion of the shares of Class A common stock subject to lock-up agreements at any time and for any reason. Sales of shares of our Class A common stock upon expiration of the lock-up agreements or otherwise, the perception that such sales may occur or early release of these agreements could cause the

S-20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

market price of our Class A common stock to fall or make it more difficult for you to sell your shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our Business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock adversely, the price and trading volume of our Class A common stock could decline. The trading market for our Class A common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about our Business, our market, or our competitors. As of December 31, 2020, only two industry analysts published research on our Business. If any of the analysts who may cover our Business change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our Class A common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover our Business were to cease coverage of Hemisphere or fail to regularly publish reports about us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

The stock price of our Class A common stock may be volatile.

The stock price of our Class A common stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume of our Class A common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. Some of the factors that could cause fluctuations in the stock price or trading volume of our Class A common stock include:

•

market and economic conditions, including market conditions in the cable television programming and broadcasting industries;

•

actual or expected variations in quarterly operating results;

•

liquidity of our Class A common stock;

•

differences between actual operating results and those expected by investors and analysts;

•

changes in recommendations by securities analysts;

•

operations and stock performance of our competitors;

•

accounting charges, including charges relating to the impairment of goodwill;

•

significant acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or by our competitors;

•

sales of our Class A common stock, including sales by our directors and officers or significant investors;

•

recruitment or departure of key personnel;

•

loss of key advertisers; and

•

changes in reserves for professional liability claims.

We cannot assure you that the price of our Class A common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. In addition, the stock market in general can experience considerable price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to our performance.

The market liquidity for our Class A common stock is relatively low and may make it difficult to purchase or sell our Class A common stock.

The average daily trading volume in our Class A common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately 53,286 shares. Although a more active trading market may develop in the future, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our Class A

common stock or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our Class A common stock and the limited market liquidity for our securities could affect a holder’s ability to sell at a price satisfactory to that holder.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of NASDAQ rules and, as a result, we qualify for, and choose to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

Our controlling stockholder, Gato Investments LP, controls the majority of the voting power of all of our outstanding capital stock. As a result of the concentration of the voting rights in our Company, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules and corporate governance standards of NASDAQ. Under the NASDAQ rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain NASDAQ corporate governance requirements, including:

•

the requirement that a majority of our board of directors consists of independent directors;

•

the requirement that we have a nominating/corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors;

•

the requirement that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; and

•

the requirement for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating/corporate governance and compensation committees.

We have elected not to comply with the above corporate governance requirements. Accordingly, our stockholders are not afforded the same protections generally as stockholders of other NASDAQ-listed companies for so long as we remain a “controlled company” and rely upon such exemptions. The interests of our controlling stockholder may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders, and the concentration of voting power in such stockholder will limit our other stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters.

Our controlling stockholder exercises significant influence over us and their interests in our Business may be different from the interests of our stockholders; future sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock may adversely affect our market price.

Our controlling stockholder, Gato Investments LP, controls the majority of the voting power of all of our outstanding capital stock. The controlling stockholders’ Class B common stock vote on a 10 to 1 basis with our Class A common stock, which means that each share of our Class B common stock has 10 votes and each share of our Class A common stock has 1 vote. All shares of our capital stock vote together as a single class. Accordingly, our controlling stockholder generally has the ability for the foreseeable future to influence the outcome of any of our corporate actions which require stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, the election of directors, significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentrated voting control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common.

Our controlling stockholder may delay or prevent a change in control in our Business. In addition, the significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the value of our Class A common stock due to a resulting lack of liquidity of our Class A common stock or a perception among investors that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. If our controlling stockholder sells a substantial amount of our Class A common stock (upon conversion of their Class B common stock, which may be converted at any time in their sole discretion) in the public market, or investors perceive that these sales could occur, the market price of our Class A common stock could be adversely affected.

The interests of our controlling stockholder, which has investments in other companies, may from time to time diverge from the interests of our other stockholders, particularly with regard to new investment opportunities. Our controlling stockholder is not restricted from investing in other businesses involving or related to programming, content, production and broadcasting. Our controlling stockholder may also engage in other businesses that compete or may in the future compete with our Business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have entered into a registration rights agreement and joinders thereto with certain parties, including our controlling stockholder. If requested properly under the terms of the registration rights agreement, certain of these stockholders have the right to require us to register the offer and sale of all or some of their Class A common stock (including upon conversion of their Class B common stock) under the Securities Act in certain circumstances and also have the right to include those shares in a registration initiated by us. If we are required to include the shares of capital stock held by these stockholders pursuant to these registration rights in a registration initiated by us, sales made by such stockholders may adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock and our ability to raise needed capital. In addition, if these stockholders exercise their demand registration rights and cause a large number of shares to be sold in the public market or demand that we include their shares for registration on a shelf registration statement, such sales or shelf registration may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A common stock.

Any other future sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock into the public market, or perceptions in the market that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Class A common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

We have a staggered board of directors and other anti-takeover provisions, which may entrench management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors will be divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. As a result, at any annual meeting only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for election. Since this “staggered board” would prevent our stockholders from replacing a majority of our board of directors at any annual meeting, it may entrench management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of our stockholders. Some of the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law could, together or separately, discourage potential acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control. In particular, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with rights and privileges that might be senior to either class of our common stock and, without the consent of the holders of either class of our common stock.

The Company’s amended and restated bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain legal actions between the Company and its stockholders, which could increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit the ability of the Company’s stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum viewed by the stockholders as more favorable for disputes with the Company or the Company’s directors, officers or other employees.

The Company’s amended and restated bylaws provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee or stockholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or other employees, or stockholders arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time), and (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or other employees, or stockholders governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or the Company’s directors, officers or other employees, or stockholders which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company or the Company’s directors, officers and other employees or stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Company’s amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions. The exclusive forum provision in the Company’s amended and restated bylaws will not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the federal securities laws including the Exchange Act, or the Securities Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our dependence on subsidiaries for cash flow may negatively affect our Business.

We are a holding company with no business operations of our own. Our only significant asset is the outstanding capital stock and membership interests of our subsidiaries. We conduct, and expect to continue conducting, all of our business operations through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our ability to pay our obligations is dependent upon dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to us. Although our term loan facility permits certain restricted payments from our subsidiaries to us to pay for our administrative expenses corporate overhead, franchise taxes, public company costs, directors’ fees and certain insurance premiums and deductibles, it restricts our subsidiaries ability to remit dividends to us in other instances at certain leverage ratios. Additionally, dividends to us from WAPA are also subject to certain local taxation. Consequently, our ability to pay dividends is limited by funds that our subsidiaries are permitted to dividend to us, and in certain instances, will subject us to certain tax liabilities.

Our pro forma financial information may not be representative of our future performance.

In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, we have made adjustments to our historical financial information based upon currently available information and upon assumptions that our management believes are reasonable in order to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of the Pantaya Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020. The estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus may be materially different from our actual experience. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus does not purport to indicate the results that may be realized in the future, nor does it give effect to any events other than those described in our unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our 8-K/A filed June 16, 2021.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined herein) with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock issued pursuant to this offering. The following discussion is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), U.S. judicial decisions, published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the “Treasury Regulations”), all as in effect as of the date hereof. All of the preceding authorities are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. We have not requested, and will not request, a ruling from the IRS with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and as a result there can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions we have reached and describe herein.

This discussion only addresses beneficial owners of our Class A common stock that hold such Class A common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a Non-U.S. Holder in light of such Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances or that may be applicable to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation: financial institutions, regulated investment companies, foreign governments, real estate investment trusts, brokers, dealers or traders in securities, Non-U.S. Holders that elect to mark their securities to market, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, Non-U.S. Holders who acquire our Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for their services, “qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds, Non-U.S. Holders liable for the alternative minimum tax, Non-U.S. Holders required to conform the timing of income accruals to financial statements pursuant to section 451 of the Code, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, certain former citizens or former residents of the U.S., and Non-U.S. Holders that hold our Class A common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, other integrated transaction, constructive sale or conversion transaction. In addition, this discussion does not address U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income tax (such as U.S. federal estate or gift tax, the Medicare contribution tax on certain net investment income, or the alternative minimum tax), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. taxes. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of these taxes.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock that is an individual, corporation, estate or trust, other than:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in the U.S. or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

•

a trust if: (i) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a domestic trust.

If you are an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are the beneficial owner of shares of our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a person treated as one of your partners (or other owners) for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will depend on the status of such partner (or other owner) and your activities. Persons that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are treated as partners (or other owners) in a partnership or other

TABLE OF CONTENTS

pass-through entity that is the beneficial owner of shares of our Class A common stock are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our Class A common stock.

Prospective purchasers are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them under U.S. federal, state and local, and applicable non-U.S. tax laws of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.

Distributions

As discussed above under “Dividend Policy,” we do not currently anticipate paying any dividends or other distributions on our Class A common stock. If we make distributions of cash or property in respect of our Class A common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Subject to the discussions below under “— U.S. Trade or Business Income,” “— Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “— FATCA,” you generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate, or at a reduced rate prescribed by an applicable income tax treaty, on any dividends received in respect of our Class A common stock. If the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess first will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of your tax basis in shares of our Class A common stock, and thereafter will be treated as capital gain (which will be treated in the manner described below under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock”). However, except to the extent that we elect (or the paying agent or other intermediary through which you hold your Class A common stock elects) otherwise, we (or the intermediary) must generally withhold at the applicable rate on the entire distribution, in which case you would be entitled to a refund from the IRS for the withholding tax on the portion, if any, of the distribution that exceeded our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

In order to obtain a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty, you will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, another applicable form or an appropriate successor form) certifying your entitlement to benefits under the treaty. Special certifications and other requirements apply if Non-U.S. Holders hold our Class A common stock through pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an income tax treaty, you may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding your possible entitlement to benefits under an applicable income tax treaty.

Dividend income that is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. will be taxed in the manner described in “— U.S. Trade or Business Income” below.

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below under “— FATCA,” you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of any gain on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A common stock unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, you maintain a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable), in which case, such gain will be taxed as described in “— U.S. Trade or Business Income” below;

•

you are an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case you will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount by which certain capital gains allocable to U.S. sources exceed certain capital losses allocable to U.S. sources (provided that you have timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses); or

S-29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” (a “USRPHC”) as defined under Section 897 of the Code at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition and your holding period for the Class A common stock, in which case, subject to the exception set forth in the second sentence of the next paragraph, such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as described in “— U.S. Trade or Business Income” below.

In general, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. In the event that we are determined to be a USRPHC, gain will, nonetheless, not be subject to tax as U.S. trade or business income if your holdings (direct and indirect, taking into account certain constructive ownership rules) at all times during the applicable period described in the third bullet point above constituted 5% or less of our Class A common stock, provided that our Class A common stock was regularly traded on an established securities market during such period. We believe that we are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming in the future, a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. Trade or Business Income

For purposes of this discussion, dividend income and gain on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A common stock will be considered to be “U.S. trade or business income” if (A)(i) such income or gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. and (ii) if you are eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty with the U.S. and such treaty requires, such income or gain is attributable to a permanent establishment (or, if you are an individual, a fixed base) that you maintain in the U.S. or (B) with respect to gain, we are or have been a USRPHC at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition of our Class A common stock and your holding period for our Class A common stock (subject to the exception set forth above in the second paragraph of “— Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock”). Generally, U.S. trade or business income is not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax (provided that you will need to comply with applicable certification and disclosure requirements, including providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form or an appropriate successor form) in order to avoid withholding); instead, you are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at regular U.S. federal income tax rates (generally in the same manner as a U.S. person) on your U.S. trade or business income. If you are a non-U.S. corporation, any U.S. trade or business income that you receive may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate, or at a lower rate prescribed by an applicable income tax treaty, as adjusted for certain items, although the branch profits tax will not apply to any gain described in clause (B) above.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

You will be subject to information reporting for dividends paid by us, whether or not U.S. federal income withholding tax is applicable. Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which you reside. Under certain circumstances, the Code imposes a backup withholding obligation on certain reportable payments. Dividends paid to you will generally be exempt from backup withholding if you provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI (or, in each case, an appropriate successor form) or otherwise establish an exemption and the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a U.S. person or that the conditions of such other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied.

The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of our Class A common stock to or through the U.S. office of any broker (U.S. or non-U.S.) will be subject to information reporting and possible backup withholding unless you certify as to your non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establish an exemption and the broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a U.S. person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied. The payment of proceeds from the disposition of our Class A common stock to or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding unless the non-U.S. broker has certain types of relationships with the U.S. (a “U.S. related financial intermediary”). In the case of the payment of proceeds

S-30

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from the disposition of our Class A common stock to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is either a U.S. person or a U.S. related financial intermediary, the Treasury Regulations require information reporting (but not backup withholding) on the payment unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that you are a non-U.S. person and the broker has no knowledge to the contrary. You are urged to consult your tax advisors as to the application of information reporting and backup withholding in light of your particular circumstances.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to you may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA”) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, impose a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax on “withholdable payments” to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide substantial information regarding U.S. account holders, including certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners, (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification that it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or a certification identifying its direct or indirect substantial U.S. owners, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules.

Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

FATCA currently applies to dividends made in respect of our Class A common stock. Proposed Treasury Regulations, the preamble to which states that they can be relied upon until final regulations are issued, eliminated withholding under FATCA on payments of gross proceeds on the disposition of stock.

To avoid withholding on dividends, you may be required to provide us (or your withholding agent) with applicable tax forms or other information. In addition, under certain circumstances, you may be eligible for refunds or credits of withholding tax under FATCA upon filing a U.S. federal income tax return containing the required information (which may entail a significant administrative burden). You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on your investment in our Class A common stock and the entities through which you hold our Class A common stock, including, without limitation, the process and deadlines for meeting the applicable requirements to prevent the imposition of the 30% withholding tax under FATCA.

Our directors, executive officers and certain of our significant stockholders have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each of these persons or entities, with limited exceptions, for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus, may not, without the prior written consent of BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P.

NASDAQ Listing

The shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol “HMTV.”

Price Stabilization, Short Positions

Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our Class A common stock. However, the representatives may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the Class A common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our Class A common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option granted to them. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our Class A common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of Class A common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our Class A common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our Class A common stock. As a result, the price of our Class A common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on NASDAQ, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Class A common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, underwriters and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in the Class A common stock on NASDAQ in accordance with Rule 103 of

S-34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Regulation M under the Exchange Act during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of Class A common stock and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may cause the price of our Class A common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of those transactions. The underwriters and dealers are not required to engage in passive market making and may end passive market making activities at any time.

Electronic Distribution

In connection with the offering, certain of the underwriters or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as e-mail.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

Capital Stock

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock, 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock and 50,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Preferred Stock, each with a par value $0.0001 per share. As of May 31, 2019, Hemisphere had 19,759,620 shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock outstanding, 19,720,381 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock outstanding and no shares of Hemisphere Preferred Stock outstanding.

Common Stock

Stockholders of record of Hemisphere Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by holders of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Stockholders of record of Hemisphere Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes for each share held on all matters to be voted on by holders of Hemisphere Class B common stock. Our board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which generally serves for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected at each annual meeting of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Our stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

The shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock are convertible in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder or holders thereof, into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock. Such right may be exercised by delivering to our office (i) the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed proper instruments of transfer, and (ii) written notice to us stating that such holder or holders elect(s) to convert such share or shares and stating the name and address in which each certificate for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock issued upon conversion is to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the date as of which the conversion is recorded on our books. Any conversion of Hemisphere Class B common stock shall be subject to any necessary approval of the FCC and such conversion shall not become effective until such time and date as the order of the FCC approving such event shall be granted. Each share of our Hemisphere Class B common stock will be deemed to have been converted automatically into a share of our Hemisphere Class A common stock upon transfer to any transferee other than certain permitted transferees, generally limited to the Company, and family members and affiliates of certain Hemisphere Class B stockholders.

Preferred Stock

Our certificate of incorporation provides that shares of Hemisphere Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue Hemisphere Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our Hemisphere Class A common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue Hemisphere Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or the removal of existing management.

Dividends

We have not declared any dividends in the past and we do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our term loan facility restricts our ability to declare dividends in certain situations. Additionally, dividends to us from WAPA are also subject to certain local taxation. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the business operations and,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accordingly, the Hemisphere board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Certain Certificate of Incorporation, By-Law and Statutory Provisions

The provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws and of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt of the Company. The description of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such organizational documents, copies of which are filed as exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 in this registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part.

Directors’ Liability; Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or those of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. The provisions do not alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer to the fullest extent provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Corporate Opportunity

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that the doctrine of “corporate opportunity” will not apply against our stockholders, their affiliates and the directors elected or appointed to serve on the board in a manner that would prohibit them from investing in competing businesses or doing business with our clients or customers. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our stockholders, their affiliates and the directors elected or appointed by the stockholders (other than the Chief Executive Officer, who may also serve as a director) to the Board shall have no obligation to us, our stockholders or any other person to present any such business opportunity to us before presenting and/or developing it with any other person, other than business opportunities specifically presented to any such stockholder or director (in his or her capacity as stockholder or director, respectively) for our benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation waives any and all claims and causes of action, and renounces any interest or expectancy, that we believe we may have for or in such business opportunities.

Special Meetings of Stockholders

Our amended and restated by-laws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by our board or directors and may not be called by any other person or persons. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting of stockholders, to require that the chairman call a special meeting or to require that our board of directors request the calling of a special meeting of stockholders.

Stockholder Action; Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

Our amended and restated by-laws provide that stockholders may take action by written consent if such consent is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. In addition, our amended and restated by-laws establish advance notice procedures for:

•

stockholders to nominate candidates for election as a director; and

•

stockholders to propose topics for consideration at stockholders’ meetings.

Stockholders must notify our corporate secretary in writing prior to the meeting at which the matters are to be acted upon or directors are to be elected. The notice must contain the information specified in our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

amended and restated by-laws. To be timely, the notice must be received at our corporate headquarters, addressed to our secretary, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders. If the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 60 days, from the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year or for the first annual meeting following this offering, notice by the stockholder, to be timely, must be received not earlier than the 120th day prior to the annual meeting and not later than the later of the 90th day prior to the annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which we notify stockholders of the date of the annual meeting, either by mail or other public disclosure. These provisions may preclude some stockholders from bringing matters before the stockholders at an annual or from nominating candidates for director at an annual meeting.

Election and Removal of Directors

Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The directors in each class serve for a three-year term, one class being elected each year by our stockholders. Our stockholders may only remove directors for cause and with the affirmative vote of a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Our board of directors may elect a director to fill a vacancy, including vacancies created by the expansion of the board of directors. This system of electing and removing directors may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of our directors.

Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the shares of the then outstanding voting stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal or adopt any provisions inconsistent with the provisions in our certificate of incorporation relating to our board of directors, stock ownership, limitations of liability, indemnification, conflicts of interest or amendments.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prevents an interested stockholder (defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock) of a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination (as defined) for three years following the date that person became an interested stockholder unless various conditions are satisfied.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for Hemisphere Class A common stock and Hemisphere Class B common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Regulatory Restrictions

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we may restrict the ownership or proposed ownership of shares of our capital stock by any person if such ownership or proposed ownership may (a) be inconsistent with or result in a violation of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies, (b) limit or impair any existing or proposed business activities under the Federal Communications Laws (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) or (c) subject us to any regulation under the Federal Communications Laws to which we would not be subject but for such ownership or proposed ownership (collectively, “FCC Regulatory Limitations”). If we believe that such ownership or proposed ownership may result in an FCC Regulatory Limitation, such person shall furnish promptly to us such information as we shall request. If (a) any person from whom information is requested should not provide all the information requested by us or (b) we shall conclude that a stockholder’s ownership or proposed ownership of, or that a stockholder’s exercise of any rights of ownership with respect to, shares of our capital stock results or could result in an FCC Regulatory Limitation, then we may (i) refuse to permit the transfer of shares of our capital stock to such proposed stockholder, (ii) suspend those rights of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The debt securities may be either secured or unsecured and will either be our senior debt securities or our subordinated debt securities. The debt securities will be issued under one or more separate indentures between us and a trustee to be specified in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Senior debt securities will be issued under a senior indenture and subordinated debt securities will be issued under a subordinated indenture. Together, the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are called indentures in this description. This prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplement, will describe the terms of a particular series of debt securities.

The following is a summary of selected provisions and definitions of the indentures and debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The summary of selected provisions of the indentures and the debt securities appearing below is not complete and is subject to, and qualified entirely by reference to, all of the provisions of the applicable indenture and certificates evidencing the applicable debt securities. For additional information, you should look at the applicable indenture and the certificate evidencing the applicable debt security that is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes the prospectus. In this description of the debt securities, the words “we,” “us,” or “our” refer only to Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. and not to any of our subsidiaries, unless we expressly state or the context otherwise requires.

The following description sets forth selected general terms and provisions of the applicable indenture and debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. Other specific terms of the applicable indenture and debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If any particular terms of the indenture or debt securities described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement.

General

Debt securities may be issued in separate series up to an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 under this prospectus. We may specify a maximum aggregate principal amount for the debt securities of any series.

Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Debt securities may be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at time of issuance is below market rates.

The material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities sold at a discount will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Exchange and Transfer

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, debt securities may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us.

We will not impose a service charge for any transfer or exchange, but we may require holders to pay any tax or other governmental charges associated with any transfer or exchange.

In the event of any partial redemption of debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

•

issue, register the transfer of, or exchange, any debt security of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

register the transfer of or exchange any debt security of that series selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion being redeemed in part.

We will appoint the trustee as the initial security registrar. Any transfer agent, in addition to the security registrar initially designated by us, will be named in the prospectus supplement. We may designate additional transfer agents or change transfer agents or change the office of the transfer agent. However, we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

Global Securities

The debt securities of any series may be represented, in whole or in part, by one or more global securities. Each global security will:

•

be registered in the name of a depositary, or its nominee, that we will identify in a prospectus supplement;

•

be deposited with the depositary or nominee or custodian; and

•

bear any required legends.

No global security may be exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities registered in the name of any person other than the depositary or any nominee unless:

•

the depositary has notified us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or has ceased to be qualified to act as depositary;

•

an event of default is continuing with respect to the debt securities of the applicable series; or

•

any other circumstance described in a prospectus supplement has occurred permitting or requiring the issuance of any such security.

As long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a global security, the depositary or nominee will be considered the sole owner and holder of the debt securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the indentures. Except in the above limited circumstances, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be:

•

entitled to have the debt securities registered in their names;

•

entitled to physical delivery of certificated debt securities; or

•

considered to be holders of those debt securities under the indenture.

Payments on a global security will be made to the depositary or its nominee as the holder of the global security. Some jurisdictions have laws that require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

Institutions that have accounts with the depositary or its nominee are referred to as “participants.” Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants and to persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. The depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of its participants.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on and effected through records maintained by the depositary, with respect to participants’ interests, or any participant, with respect to interests of persons held by participants on their behalf. Payments, transfers and exchanges relating to beneficial interests in a global security will be subject to policies and procedures of the depositary. The depositary policies and procedures may change from time to time. Neither any trustee nor we will have any responsibility or liability for the depositary’s or any participant’s records with respect to beneficial interests in a global security.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Payment and Paying Agents

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the provisions described in this paragraph will apply to the debt securities. Payment of interest on a debt security on any interest payment date will be made to the person in whose name the debt security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date. Payment on debt securities of a particular series will be payable at the office of a paying agent or paying agents designated by us. However, at our option, we may pay interest by mailing a check to the record holder. The trustee will be designated as our initial paying agent.

We may also name any other paying agents in a prospectus supplement. We may designate additional paying agents, change paying agents or change the office of any paying agent. However, we will be required to maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

All moneys paid by us to a paying agent for payment on any debt security that remain unclaimed for a period two years after such payment was due will be repaid to us thereafter.

The holder may look only to us for such payment.

No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement with respect to a particular series of debt securities, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, whether or not such transaction results in a change in control.

Covenants

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement with respect to a particular series of debt securities, the debt securities will not contain any financial or restrictive covenants.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

Unless we indicate otherwise in a prospectus supplement with respect to a particular series of debt securities, we may not consolidate with or merge into any other person (other than one of our subsidiaries), in a transaction in which we are not the surviving corporation, or convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any person (other than a subsidiary of Hemisphere), unless:

•

the successor entity, if any, is a U.S. corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other business entity;

•

the successor entity assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indentures;

•

immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

•

certain other conditions specified in the indenture are met.

Events of Default

Unless we indicate otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the following will be events of default for any series of debt securities under the indentures:

we fail to pay principal of or any premium on any debt security of that series when due;

we fail to pay any interest on any debt security of that series for 30 days after it becomes due;

we fail to perform any other covenant in the indenture and such failure continues for 90 days after we are given the notice required in the indentures; and

certain events involving our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.

Additional or different events of default applicable to a series of debt securities may be described in a prospectus supplement. An event of default of one series of debt securities is not necessarily an event of default for any other series of debt securities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any default, except defaults in the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, any sinking fund installment on, or with respect to any conversion right of, the debt securities of such series. However, the trustee must consider it to be in the interest of the holders of the debt securities of such series to withhold this notice.

Unless we indicate otherwise in a prospectus supplement, if an event of default, other than an event of default described in clause (4) above, shall occur and be continuing with respect to any series of debt securities, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series may declare the principal amount and premium, if any, of the debt securities of that series, or if any debt securities of that series are original issue discount securities, such other amount as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to be due and payable immediately.

Unless we indicate otherwise in a prospectus supplement, if an event of default described in clause (4) above shall occur, the principal amount and premium, if any, of all the debt securities of that series, or if any debt securities of that series are original issue discount securities, such other amount as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, will automatically become immediately due and payable.

Modification and Waiver

Unless we indicate otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the applicable trustee and we may make modifications and amendments to an indenture with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of each series affected by the modification or amendment.

We may also make modifications and amendments to the indentures for the benefit of holders without their consent, for certain purposes including, but not limited to:

•

to evidence the succession of another person to us and the assumption by such successor of our company’s obligations under the applicable indenture and the debt securities of any series;

•

to add to the covenants of our company, or to surrender any rights or powers of our company, for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any or all series issued under such indenture;

•

to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the applicable indenture which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under such indenture or to conform the text of the indenture or the debt securities to this description of notes or the description of notes in an applicable prospectus supplement;

•

to add to the applicable indenture any provisions that may be expressly permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), excluding the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act as in effect at the date as of which the applicable indenture was executed or any corresponding provision in any similar federal statute hereafter enacted;

•

to provide any additional events of default;

•

to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities; provided that the uncertificated securities are issued in registered form for certain federal tax purposes;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

to secure any series of debt securities pursuant to the applicable indenture’s limitation on liens; to make any change necessary to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the applicable indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depository; and

•

to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of the holders of the debt securities.

However, neither the trustee nor we may make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holder of each outstanding security of that series affected by the modification or amendment if such modification or amendment would:

•

change the maturity of the principal of, or the maturity of any premium on, or any installment of interest on, any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount or the interest or any premium of any such debt securities, or change the method of computing the amount of principal or interest on any such debt securities on any date or change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any debt securities or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity of principal or premium, as the case may be;

•

impair or adversely affect the right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, such senior debt securities on or after the maturity of such debt securities.

Satisfaction and Discharge

Each indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the applicable series of the debt securities, as expressly provided for in the indenture) as to all outstanding debt securities of a series, when:

Either:

all of the applicable series of the debt securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed notes which have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by us and thereafter repaid to us or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

all of the applicable series off debt securities not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the trustee in the name, and at the expense, of us, and we have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee funds in an amount in the required currency sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the applicable series of debt securities not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable series of debt securities to the date of deposit or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be;

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We or the selling stockholders may offer and sell the securities in any one or more of the following ways:

•

to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;

•

directly to one or more other purchasers;

•

through a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•

through agents on a best-efforts basis;

•

in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents; or

•

otherwise through a combination of any of the above methods of sale.

In addition, we or the selling stockholders may enter into option, share lending or other types of transactions that require us to deliver the securities to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the securities under this prospectus. We may also enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we or the selling stockholders may:

•

enter into transactions involving short sales of the securities by underwriters, brokers or dealers;

•

sell the securities short and deliver the shares to close out short positions;

•

enter into option or other types of transactions that require us to deliver the securities to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the securities under this prospectus; or

loan or pledge the securities to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged securities.

Any selling stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock covered by this prospectus.

We or the selling stockholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or such selling stockholders, as applicable, or borrowed from us, such selling stockholders or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us or such selling stockholders in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we or the selling stockholders may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or the securities of the selling stockholders, as applicable, or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

Shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock may also be exchanged for satisfaction of the selling stockholders’ obligations or other liabilities to their creditors. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers.

Each time we or the selling stockholders sell securities, we or the selling stockholders will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. The prospectus supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including:
