The Plan was established effective May 1, 2003 by Tribune Company (the “Company”). The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers any employee of KPLR, Inc. at its St. Louis, Missouri location who is either not covered by a collective bargaining agreement or who is a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (“IBEW”) or the AFL-CIO-CFL Local Union No. 4. The eligible participants must also meet age and service requirements. Separate benefit accounts are maintained for each participant.

Full-time employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries are generally eligible to participate if they are 21 years of age, except for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements which do not provide for their participation in the Plan. Part-time employees are generally eligible if they are age 21 and have completed 1 year of service.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, distributions will be made in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.

The Plan is administered by the Tribune Company Employee Benefits Committee (the “Committee”), which is appointed by the board of directors of the Company. The Plan’s trustee, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“Vanguard” or the “Trustee”), is responsible for the custody of the Plan’s assets and the investment management of some of the Plan’s assets. Effective January 1, 2006 the Northern Trust Company became the Plan’s trustee.

Participants may elect to make before-tax contributions of up to 25% of their compensation (as defined in the Plan) subject to Plan and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan offers nine investment alternatives, including seven publicly traded mutual funds, the Tribune Company Stock Fund Master Trust (“Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust”) and the Fidelity Stable Value Fund Master Trust (“Stable Value Fund Master Trust”). After the first full

year of service, the Company makes a contribution to the Plan in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of a participant’s before-tax contributions for that period. The Company contribution is allocated according to the participants’ investment elections.

Participants may elect to have all or a percentage (in 1% increments) of their contributions and their share of the Company’s contributions invested in or transferred among one or more of the investment funds. Participants may elect that up to 100% of their contributions and up to 100% of their share of the Company’s matching contributions be invested in the Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust. During 2005, the Company contributions were automatically allocated to the Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust, unless the eligible participant elected to have them allocated otherwise. Beginning in 2006, the Company contributions are automatically allocated to the Vanguard Wellington Admiral Fund, unless the eligible participant elects to have them allocated otherwise. The Trustee’s purchases of Tribune Company common stock are made in the open market. Participants may change how contributions are invested at any time, and these changes are effective the next period. Participants may make interfund transfers on a daily basis.

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company contributions and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant elections or account balances, as defined in the Plan document. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Participants may make withdrawals of any part or all of the balance in their before-tax contribution accounts, prior to termination, in order for the participant to meet an immediate and significant financial need for which a withdrawal would be permitted by IRS regulations. Participants who make hardship withdrawals will cease to be eligible to make before-tax contributions for six months.

Distributions of account balances are generally made to participants in a single sum payment. Distributions are generally made in cash, except that participants may elect to receive Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust investments in shares of Tribune Company common stock.

(a) $50,000 less the highest outstanding loan balance during the most recent 12 month period or (b) 50% of their vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Loans fund. Loan terms range from one to thirty years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account. The interest rate for a loan is the prime rate on the last business day of the prior month and is fixed for the life of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, and subject to any collective bargaining agreement, the Company has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their employer contribution.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value, except for guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) held by the Stable Value Fund Master Trust. The GICs are stated at contract value, which consists of amounts invested (net of withdrawals) plus reinvested earnings. Publicly traded mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. The Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust is valued at the unit closing price as determined by the Trustee on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans are valued at amounts originally borrowed by participants, less amounts subsequently repaid.

Distributions are recorded when paid. Benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31, but not yet distributed as of that date are shown as a liability on the Form 5500, filed with the Department of Labor. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, all benefit claims that were processed and approved for payment had been distributed.

The Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust was established effective January 1, 2004. A portion of the Plan’s assets are invested in the Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust, which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and several other Tribune Company sponsored retirement plans. Each participating retirement plan owns units of the Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust. The assets of the Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust are held by the Trustee. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust was less than 1%. Investment income and administrative expenses related to the Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust are allocated to the individual plans based upon balances invested by each plan.

The Stable Value Fund Master Trust was established effective January 1, 2004. A portion of the Plan’s assets are invested in the Stable Value Fund Master Trust, which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and several other Tribune Company sponsored retirement plans. Each participating retirement plan has an interest in the Stable Value Fund Master Trust. The assets of the Stable Value Fund Master Trust are held by the Trustee. At December 31, 2004, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Stable Value Fund Master Trust was less than 1%. Investment income and administrative expenses related to the Stable Value Fund Master Trust are allocated to the individual plans based upon balances invested by each plan.

The Stable Value Fund Master Trust primarily invests in synthetic GICs issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions. The Stable Value Fund Master Trust provides participants principal preservation and a stable interest rate that is reset quarterly. The Stable Value Fund Master Trust allows for daily withdrawals and exchanges that are paid at contract value (principal and interest accrued to date). All GICs included in the Stable Value Fund Master Trust are accounted for at contract value.

Synthetic GICs simulate the performance of a traditional investment contract. The Stable Value Fund Master Trust owns the assets underlying the synthetic GICs. To enable the Stable Value Fund Master Trust to realize a specific known value for the assets if it needs to liquidate them to make benefit payments, the Stable Value Fund Master Trust purchases fully benefit responsive “wrapper” contracts issued by financial institutions. These contracts provide the Stable Value Fund Master Trust with market and cash flow risk protection. The Stable Value Fund Master Trust’s investment guidelines for synthetic GICs require that the financial institutions have a minimum credit rating of “AA” or equivalent. The average yield of the GICs was 4.12% in

The IRS has not yet determined and informed the Company that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Plan’s ERISA counsel believes the Plan is designed to comply with, and the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently being operated in compliance with, the applicable requirements of the IRC.

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Vanguard. Vanguard was the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Tribune Stock Fund Master Trust and participant loan transactions also qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

During the first quarter of 2006, all union participants transferred out of the Plan into specific union plans, which are not sponsored by the Company. On June 30, 2006, all remaining participants will transfer to the Tribune Company 401(k) Savings Plan.

The Plan provides for various investment options in several investment securities and instruments. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risks associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks and values in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

On December 29, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released FASB Staff Position Nos. AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans ("FSP"). The FSP will require enhanced financial statement presentation and disclosures. Management intends to adopt the requirements of the FSP in the Plan's financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2006.
