l. The only business of Journal Employes' Stock Trust (Trust), under
agreement dated May 15, 1937, as amended, is the record holding of
common stock of Journal Communications, Inc. ("Company"), the
issuance of Units of Beneficial Interest in such shares ("Units"),
and in limited instances, the voting of shares of the Company's
common stock held by it. The Trust is administered by five
trustees who are officer/directors of the Company and receive no
remuneration for services performed for the Trust. The trustees
are required to distribute all Trust income (consisting solely of
dividends paid by the Company), less such amounts as the trustees
deem necessary for payment of taxes and administrative expenses, as
soon as practicable after receipt. Since its origination,
substantially all expenses of the Trust have been paid by the
Company, and cash dividends payable to the Trust have been paid
directly to the unitholders by the Company. The Trust distributes
all of its income and, therefore, pays no income taxes.
2. Common Stock of the Company
Upon deposit by the Company of shares of common stock, the Trust
issues a like number of Units and the Company offers such Units to
employees of the Company ("Employees"). Sales of Units by the
Trust are made the formula price determined in accordance with the
Trust Agreement.
3. Unitholders' Sales of Units of Beneficial Interest
Unitholders may sell all or a portion of their Units only to other
Employees designated by the President of the Company or, under
certain circumstances, to shareholders of the Company, at the
current formula price under the terms and conditions of the Trust
Agreement. If the Units are not sold in this manner, the Units are
freely transferable, subject to a five-year right of the Company to
purchase the Units at any time at the formula price. Payments for
Units sold by employees to other employees are deposited with the
Trust by the purchaser and remitted by the Trust to the seller.
The payable for incomplete transactions in the statement of assets
and liabilities represents amounts due sellers for Units purchased
by the Trust on March 31, as well as incomplete transactions
between unitholders.
