("formerly Hollinger International Inc.). This Amendment No. 7 amends an Amendment No. 6 to a Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC and dated November 4, 2005. However, the filing of this Amendment No. 7 should not be deemed an admission that TBC comprises a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the"Act"). This Amendment No. 7 relates to the Class A - Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Sun-Times Media Group, Inc. (the "Company"), which, to the best knowledge of the person filing this Schedule 13D, is a company organized under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices located at 712 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10019. This Amendment No. 7 contains information regarding shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held in the accounts of various customers of TBC (the "TBC Accounts"), with respect to which TBC has obtained sole or shared voting power. Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC, there has been no material change in the information set forth in response to Items 1, 2, 6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly, those Items are omitted from this Amendment No. 7. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNTS OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION As of the date hereof, the number of shares with respect to which TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner is 10,837,565 shares of Common Stock (the "TBC Shares"). The aggregate cost of the TBC Shares, including brokerage commissions, was $122,001,065. The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts, the funds therefore coming from the funds on hand in each individual managed account. In some instances, certain TBC accounts have access to funds that may come from standard margin account borrowings from brokerage accounts maintained at Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. To date, none of the TBC accounts have utilized margin account borrowings relating to their interest in the Common Stock. It is expected that funds used by the TBC Accounts to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, if additional shares are purchased by the TBC Accounts (see Item 4 hereof), will come from the funds on hand for each individual managed account, which funds on hand at any time and from time to time may include, among others, funds borrowed pursuant to margin accounts maintained at Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. Borrowings made by certain TBC Accounts pursuant to such margin accounts are secured by margin securities owned by the respective accounts, including some of the TBC Shares. Interest on outstanding borrowings under such margin accounts ranges from 1/2% to 3 1/4% over the brokers' call rate in effect from time to time at Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, New York, depending upon the amount of outstanding borrowings at any given time. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The sole purpose of the filing of this Amendment No. 7 is due a change in the share outstanding number reported on the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2006 and which was filed August 9, 2006, causing an increase in TBC's reporting percentage by over 1%. No purchases have been made since TBC's last amendment filing dated November 4, 2005. The updated share outstanding number is more fully set forth herein. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) As of the date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 10,837,565 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 16.68% of the 64,956,299 shares of Common Stock which TBC believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts. TBC and its Members (as defined in Item 2 of a Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC dated May 19, 2003) disclaims that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which TBC could be deemed to be the beneficial owner as of the date hereof, is 10,837,565 shares, which constitutes approximately 16.68% of the 64,956,299 shares of Common Stock, which the filing person believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission that TBC is the beneficial owner of any of the TBC Shares. The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect to which each of the Members may be deemed to be the beneficial owner by reason of his being a member of TBC, is 10,837,565 shares, which constitutes approximately 16.68% of the 64,956,299 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of TBC, no person who may be deemed to comprise a group with TBC or any other person named in Item 2 of the Statement, beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock. (b) TBC has investment discretion with respect to 10,837,565 shares of Common Stock held by the TBC Accounts and has shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of all of such shares. Of these shares of Common Stock, TBC has sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 10,792,260 shares of Common Stock held in certain TBC Accounts. Each of the Members of TBC, solely by reason of their positions as such, may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts; and (ii) sole power to vote or direct the vote of 10,792,260 shares of Common Stock held in certain TBC Accounts. (c) Transactions in Common Stock effected by TBC during the sixty-day period and ended as of the date hereof are set forth below:
