Summary of the Exchange Offer
On November 26, 2012, we issued $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unregistered 4.375% Senior Debentures due 2043. On December 4, 2012,
we issued $1,194,528,000 aggregate principal amount of unregistered 4.375% Senior Debentures due 2043. On December 17, 2012, we issued $1,837,000
aggregate principal amount of unregistered 4.375% Senior Debentures due 2043. The 4.375% Senior Debentures due 2043 issued on December 4, 2012 and
December 17, 2012 were each a further issuance of, and were in addition to the 4.375% Senior Debentures due 2043 we issued on November 26, 2012. On
November 26, 2012, we and certain initial purchasers of the unregistered senior debentures issued on this date entered into a registration rights agreement in
connection with such debt offering and on December 4, 2012, we and certain dealer managers entered into a registration rights agreement in connection with the
issuance of the unregistered senior debentures issued on December 4, 2012 and December 17, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of each such registration rights
agreement, we agreed that you, as a holder of unregistered senior debentures, would be entitled to exchange your unregistered senior debentures for exchange
senior debentures registered under the Securities Act but otherwise having substantially identical terms to the respective unregistered senior debentures. This
exchange offer is intended to satisfy these rights. After the exchange offer is completed, you will no longer be entitled to any registration rights with respect to the
senior debentures. The exchange senior debentures will be our obligations and will be entitled to the benefits of the base indenture and supplemental indentures
relating to the unregistered senior debentures. The form and terms of the exchange senior debentures are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of
the unregistered senior debentures, except that:

· the exchange senior debentures have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will contain no restrictive legends;

· the exchange senior debentures will not have registration rights; and

· the exchange senior debentures will not have rights to additional interest.
For additional information on the terms of this exchange offer, see "The Exchange Offer."

The Exchange Offer
We are offering to exchange $1,000 principal amount of our exchange senior debentures, which have
been registered under the Securities Act for each $1,000 principal amount of our outstanding
unregistered senior debentures that were issued on November 26, 2012, December 4, 2012 and
December 17, 2012. As of the date of this prospectus, $1,446,365,000 in aggregate principal amount
of our unregistered senior debentures are outstanding.

Expiration of the Exchange Offer
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 18, 2013, unless we decide
to extend the expiration date.

Conditions of the Exchange Offer
We will not be required to accept for exchange any unregistered senior debentures, and we may
amend or terminate the exchange offer, if any of the following conditions or events occurs:

· the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of unregistered senior debentures,

violates applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC");

· any action or proceeding shall have been instituted with respect to the exchange offer which, in

our reasonable judgment, would impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or

Table of Contents
· any law, rule or regulation or applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC has been issued or

promulgated which, in our good faith determination, does not permit us to effect the exchange
offer.

We will give oral or written notice of any non-acceptance of the unregistered senior debentures or of
any amendment or termination of the exchange offer to the registered holders of the unregistered
senior debentures as promptly as practicable. We reserve the right to waive any conditions of the
exchange offer.

Resale of the Exchange Senior Debentures
Based on existing interpretations of the SEC staff set forth in several no-action letters issued to third
parties unrelated to us, we believe that you can resell and transfer the exchange senior debentures
you receive pursuant to this exchange offer without complying with the registration and prospectus
delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

· any exchange senior debentures to be received by you will be acquired in the ordinary course of

your business;

· you are not engaged in, do not intend to engage in and have no arrangement or understanding with

any person to participate in the distribution of the unregistered senior debentures or exchange
senior debentures;

· you are not an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of Viacom, or, if you

are such an affiliate, you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act to the extent applicable;

· if you are a broker-dealer, you have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with

Viacom or any "affiliate" of Viacom (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) to
distribute the exchange senior debentures;

· if you are a broker-dealer, you will receive exchange senior debentures for your own account in
exchange for unregistered senior debentures that were acquired as a result of market-making

activities or other trading activities and you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any
resale of such exchange senior debentures; and

· you are not acting on behalf of any person or entity that could not truthfully make these

representations.

If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must represent to us in writing that these
conditions have been met. See "The Exchange Offer--Purpose and Effect of Exchange Offer;
Registration Rights."

If our belief is inaccurate and you transfer any exchange senior debentures without delivering a

prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration

the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not assume or indemnify

you against such liability, but we do not believe that any such liability should exist.

If you are a broker-dealer and you will receive exchange senior debentures for your own account in
exchange for unregistered senior debentures that were acquired as a result of market-making

activities or other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange senior debentures. See "Plan of
Distribution" for a description of the prospectus delivery obligations of broker-dealers.

Accrued Interest on the Exchange Senior Debentures and
The exchange senior debentures will accrue interest from and including March 15, 2013. We will
Unregistered Senior Debentures
pay interest on the exchange senior debentures semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and
September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2013.

In order to ensure that holders of unregistered senior debentures that are accepted for exchange do
not receive payments in respect of interest accrued on both the unregistered senior debentures and the
exchange senior debentures for the period from and including March 15, 2013 until the date of the
issuance of the exchange senior debentures (the "Overlap Period"), such holders will be deemed to

have waived the right to receive any payment in respect of interest accrued on the unregistered senior
debentures during the Overlap Period. Consequently, holders of exchange senior debentures will
receive the same interest payments that they would have received had they not accepted the exchange
offer.

Procedures for Tendering Unregistered Senior Debentures
If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must transmit a properly completed and signed
letter of transmittal and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal to the Exchange
Agent (as defined below) at the address set forth in the letter of transmittal. These materials must be
received by the Exchange Agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 18, 2013, the
expiration date of the exchange offer. You must also provide:

· a confirmation of any book-entry transfer of unregistered senior debentures tendered
electronically into the Exchange Agent's account with DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream

Luxembourg. You must comply with DTC's, Euroclear's or Clearstream Luxembourg's respective
standard operating procedures for electronic tenders, by which you will agree to be bound in the
letter of transmittal; or

· physical delivery of your unregistered senior debentures to the Exchange Agent's address as set

forth in the letter of transmittal. The letter of transmittal must also contain the representations you
must make to us as described under "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering."

Table of Contents

The letter of transmittal must also contain the representations you must make to us as described under
"The Exchange Offer--Purpose and Effect of Exchange Offer; Registration Rights."

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners
If you are a beneficial owner of unregistered senior debentures that are held through a broker, dealer,
commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender such unregistered senior
debentures, you should contact the person promptly and instruct the person to tender your
unregistered senior debentures on your behalf.

No Guaranteed Delivery
There are no guaranteed delivery provisions applicable to the exchange offer under the terms of this
prospectus. Holders must tender their unregistered senior debentures in accordance with the
procedures set forth under "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering."

Withdrawal Rights
You may withdraw the tender of your unregistered senior debentures at any time prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on July 18, 2013, the expiration date of the exchange offer.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange
If you are eligible to participate in this exchange offer and you do not tender your unregistered senior
debentures as described in this prospectus, you will not have any further registration rights. In that
case, your unregistered senior debentures will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer. As a
result of the transfer restrictions and the availability of exchange senior debentures, the market for
the unregistered senior debentures is likely to be much less liquid after the consummation of the
exchange offer. The unregistered senior debentures will bear interest at the same rate as the exchange
senior debentures after the consummation of the exchange offer.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The exchange of the unregistered senior debentures for exchange senior debentures pursuant to the
exchange offer will not be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See "Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of exchange senior debentures pursuant to the
exchange offer.

Exchange Agent for Unregistered Senior Debentures
Global Bondholder Services Corporation is the exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") and also is
the information agent (the "Information Agent") for the exchange offer.
