EXPLANATORY NOTE



DHX Media Ltd. (the “Registrant”)
is a Canadian corporation eligible to file its Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 40-F. The Registrant is a “foreign private issuer” as defined
in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Equity securities of the Registrant are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c),
14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3 thereunder.



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Certain statements in this Annual Report
on Form 40-F are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Additionally, the safe harbor provided in Section 21E of the
Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act applies to any forward-looking information provided pursuant to “Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements” and “Disclosure of Contractual Obligations” in this Annual Report on Form 40-F. Please see

NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS -
DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES



The Registrant is permitted, under a multijurisdictional
disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this Annual Report on Form 40-F in accordance with Canadian disclosure
requirements, which are different from those of the United States.



The Registrant prepares its consolidated
financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board. As a result, the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable
to financial statements of U.S. companies prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.



Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar
amounts in this Annual Report on Form 40-F are in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars,
on June 30, 2015, based upon the Bank of Canada noon exchange rate, was U.S.$1.00 = CDN$1.2474.



Purchasing, holding, or disposing of securities
of the Registrant may have tax consequences under the laws of the United States and Canada that are not described in this Annual
Report on Form 40-F.



PRINCIPAL DOCUMENTS



Annual Information Form



The Registrant’s Annual Information
Form for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form
40-F.



Audited Annual Financial Statements



The audited consolidated financial statements
of the Registrant for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, including the Independent Auditor’s Report with respect thereto,
are filed as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis



The Registrant’s Management’s
Discussion and Analysis is filed as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 40-F.



CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Certifications



The required certifications
are included in Exhibits 99.4, 99.5, 99.6 and 99.7 of this Annual Report on Form 40-F.



Disclosure Controls and Procedures



At the end of the period covered by this
report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant’s “disclosure controls and
procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) was carried out by the Registrant’s principal
executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Registrant’s principal executive officer
and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation
of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed
in reports that the Registrant files or submits to regulatory authorities is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified by regulation, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Registrant’s
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



It should be noted that while the Registrant’s
principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures
provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Registrant’s disclosure controls
and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.



Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting



This Annual Report on Form 40-F does not
include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period
established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for newly public companies.



Attestation Report of Independent
Auditor



This Annual Report on Form 40-F does not
include an attestation report of the Registrant’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established
by rules of the Commission for newly public companies.



In accordance with the United States Jumpstart
Our Business Startup Act (the “JOBS Act”) enacted on April 5, 2012, the Registrant qualifies as an “emerging
growth company” (an “EGC”), which entitles the Registrant to take advantage of certain exemptions from
various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. Specifically, the JOBS Act defers
the requirement to have the Registrant’s independent auditor assess the Registrant’s internal controls over financial
reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As such, the Registrant is exempted from the requirement to include an
auditor attestation report in this Form 40-F for so long as the Registrant remains an EGC, which may be for as long as five years
following its initial registration in the United States.



Changes in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting



During the year ended June 30, 2015, there
were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

There were no notices required by Rule
104 of Regulation BTR that the Registrant sent during the year ended June 30, 2015 concerning any equity security subject to a
blackout period under Rule 101 of Regulation BTR.



AUDIT COMMITTEE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL
EXPERT



Audit Committee



The Board of Directors has a separately-designated
standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act for the purpose of overseeing the
accounting and financial reporting processes of the Registrant and audits of the Registrant’s annual financial statements.
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 40-F, the members of the Audit Committee are Elizabeth Beale, David Colville, Sir
Judson Graham Day and Donald Wright.



The Board of Directors of the Registrant
has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent,” as such term is defined under the rules of
The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). Further, the Registrant has determined that all members of the Audit
Committee are financially literate, meaning that they must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements.



Audit Committee Financial Expert



The Board of Directors of the Registrant
has determined that the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Donald Wright, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as
defined in General Instruction B(8)(b) of Form 40-F. The Commission has indicated that the designation of Donald Wright as an audit
committee financial expert does not make him an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability
on him that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and board of directors who do not carry this designation
or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee.



CODE OF ETHICS



The Registrant has adopted a written code
of ethics for its directors, officers and employees entitled “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” (the “Code”)
that complies with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5610. The Code includes, among
other things, written standards for the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal
accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, which are required by the Commission for a code of ethics
applicable to such officers. A copy of the Code is posted on the Registrant’s website at www.dhxmedia.com under the Investors
tab and under the Governance Documents tab.



No substantive amendments to the Code were
adopted during the year ended June 30, 2015. No “waiver” or “implicit waiver,” as such terms are defined
in Note 6 to General Instruction B(9) of Form 40-F, was granted relating to any provision of the Code during the year ended June
30, 2015.

MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.



CORPORATE GOVERNANCE



The Registrant is a foreign private issuer
and its variable voting shares are listed on NASDAQ.



NASDAQ Marketplace Rule (“Rule”)
5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of the requirements of the Rule 5600 Series,
the requirement to distribute annual and interim reports set forth in Rule 5250(d), and the Direct Registration Program requirement
set forth in Rules 5210(c) and 5255; provided, however, that such a company shall comply with the Notification of Material Noncompliance
requirement (Rule 5625), the Voting Rights requirement (Rule 5640), have an audit committee that satisfies Rule 5605(c)(3), and
ensure that such audit committee’s members meet the independence requirement in Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii).



The Registrant does not follow Rule 5620(c)
(shareholder quorum) and Rule 5635 (shareholder approval) but instead follows its home country practices, as described below.



Shareholder Meeting Quorum Requirements:
Rule 5620(c) requires that the minimum quorum requirement for a meeting of shareholders is 33.33% of the outstanding shares of
a company’s common voting stock. In addition, Rule 5620(c) requires that an issuer listed on NASDAQ state its quorum requirement
in its bylaws. The Registrant follows applicable Canadian laws with respect to quorum requirements. The Registrant’s quorum
requirement for a meeting of shareholders is set forth in the Registrant’s by-laws, and requires not less than two shareholders
holding or representing by proxy not less than 25% of the issued and outstanding shares which carry voting rights at the meeting.



Shareholder Approval: The Registrant does
not follow Rule 5635, which establishes shareholder approval requirements prior to the issuance of securities in certain circumstances.
In lieu of following Rule 5635, the Registrant follows the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange.



The foregoing is consistent with the laws,
customs and practices in Canada.



UNDERTAKING



The Registrant undertakes to make available,
in person or by telephone, representatives to respond to inquiries made by the Commission staff, and to furnish promptly, when
requested to do so by the Commission staff, information relating to: the securities registered pursuant to Form 40-F; the securities
in relation to which the obligation to file an Annual Report on Form 40-F arises; or transactions in said securities.



-6-







CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS



The Registrant filed an Appointment of
Agent for Service of Process and Undertaking on Form F-X on May 28, 2015, with respect to the class of securities in relation to
which the obligation to file this Annual Report on Form 40-F arises.



Any further change to the name or address
of the agent for service of process of the Registrant shall be communicated promptly to the Commission by an amendment to the Form
F-X referencing the file number of the Registrant.
