THE COMPANY
The Company is the largest media and entertainment
company in the world. Its businesses are conducted in five
principal areas: Publishing, Music, Filmed Entertainment,
Programming-HBO and Cable. Publishing consists principally of the
publication and distribution of magazines and books; Music
consists principally of the production and distribution of
recorded music and the ownership and administration of music
copyrights; Filmed Entertainment consists principally of the

programming, the distribution of video cassettes and the

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware
in August 1983 and is the successor to a New York corporation
that was originally organized in 1922. The Company changed its
name from Time Incorporated to Time Warner Inc. following its
acquisition of 59.3% of the common stock of Warner Communications
Inc. ("WCI") in July 1989. WCI became a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company in January 1990 upon the completion of the merger
of WCI and a subsidiary of the Company.
Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE") was
formed as a Delaware limited partnership in 1992 to own and
operate substantially all of the Filmed Entertainment,
Programming-HBO and Cable businesses owned and operated by the
Company prior to such date. The Company and certain of its wholly
owned subsidiaries (the "Time Warner General Partners")
collectively own 74.49% of the pro rata priority capital and
residual equity interests in TWE and a wholly owned subsidiary of
U S WEST, Inc. owns pro rata priority capital and residual equity
interests in TWE of 25.51%. In addition, the Time Warner General
Partners directly or indirectly own priority capital interests
senior and junior to the pro rata priority capital interests.
The Company has agreed to acquire Turner Broadcasting
System, Inc. ("TBS") in a transaction in which both the Company
and TBS will become wholly owned subsidiaries of a new holding
company ("New Time Warner") and enter into certain related
transactions (the "TBS Transaction"). The TBS Transaction is
described in the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated
November 14, 1995, and December 1, 1995.
The Company's principal executive offices are located
at 75 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10019, and its
telephone number is (212) 484-8000.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from
the sale from time to time of the Common Stock offered hereby.
All proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby
will be for the account of the Selling Shareholders, as described

<PAGE>
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON STOCK
The following general summary of the Common Stock is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of
Incorporation"), which is an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
The Company is authorized by the Certificate of
Incorporation to issue 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
250,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share.
On September 30, 1995, 387,404,816 shares of Common Stock
(excluding approximately 45.7 million shares of Common Stock held
as treasury shares by the Company, as to which approximately 43.7
million were held by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company)
were issued and outstanding and approximately 148 million shares
were reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock
options and warrants and conversion of outstanding convertible
securities. Also, as of the date of this Prospectus, 464,638
shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, 3,264,508
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 11,000,000 shares of Series D
Preferred Stock, 6,200,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock,
1,800,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock and 7,000,000 shares
of Series I Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. Upon
consummation of the Acquisition, the Company will have
outstanding approximately 2.9 million additional shares of Common
Stock, 3.25 million shares of Series E Preferred Stock and
approximately 3.23 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock.
The Series C, D, E, F, G, H and I Preferred Stock are or will be,
as the case may be, convertible in the aggregate into
approximately 74.1 million shares of Common Stock. Each such
series of Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $100 per
share and will receive, for a period of five years with respect
to the Series C and E Preferred Stock and for a period of four
years with respect to the Series D, F, G, H and I Preferred
Stock, an annual dividend per share equal to the greater of $3.75
and an amount equal to the dividends paid on the Common Stock
into which such share of Preferred Stock may be converted. The
Series C, D, E, F, G and I Preferred Stock are or will be, as the
case may be, entitled to vote with the Common Stock on matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders and will have two votes per
share in any such matter. For a discussion of the Series C, D, E,
F, G, H and I Preferred Stock reference is made to the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 14, 1995. Upon the
consummation of the TBS Transaction, each outstanding share of
Time Warner capital stock will be converted into one share of a
substantially identical series of New Time Warner capital stock
and New Time Warner will issue an additional 171.3 million shares
of common stock and approximately 13 million stock options in
exchange for the outstanding shares of TBS capital stock and
outstanding TBS stock options, respectively (plus an additional 5
million shares of New Time Warner common stock in connection with
a related agreement). Additional information on the TBS
Transaction is set forth in the Company's Current Reports on Form
8-K dated November 14, 1995, and December 1, 1995.
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive
dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of
the Company out of funds legally available therefore, subject to
the rights of any preferred stock at the time outstanding.
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one
vote for each share on all matters voted on by stockholders,
including elections of directors. The holders of the Common Stock
do not have any cumulative voting, conversion, redemption or
preemptive rights. In the event of dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company, holders of the Common Stock will be
entitled
<PAGE>
to share ratably in any assets remaining after the satisfaction
in full of the prior rights of creditors, including holders of
the Company's indebtedness, and the aggregate liquidation
preference of any preferred stock then outstanding.
Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
provided that full dividends on all outstanding shares of any
series of the Company's preferred stock have been paid,
outstanding shares of Common Stock may be redeemed by action of
the Company's Board of Directors to the extent necessary to
prevent the loss of any governmental license or franchise, the
holding of which is conditioned upon stockholders possessing
prescribed qualifications.
The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, the Pacific Stock Exchange and the International Stock
Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Ltd.
Chemical Bank is the transfer agent and registrar for the Common
Stock.
Each share of Common Stock has associated with it one
right (a "Right") to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of
Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (or in certain
cases other securities) of the Company. The terms of the Rights
are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement")
dated as of January 20, 1994, between the Company and Chemical
Bank, as Rights Agent. Prior to the occurrence of certain events,
including a determination by the Board of Directors following the
public disclosure of a tender or exchange offer for shares of
Common Stock representing 15% or more of the outstanding shares
of the Common Stock, the Rights will not be represented by
separate certificates and will be transferable with and only with
the associated Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, in the event that,
among other things, a third party acquires beneficial ownership
of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock,
each holder of Rights will be entitled to purchase securities of
the Company having a market value equal to twice the purchase
price thereof. In certain circumstances, including an acquisition
involving 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the
Company, the Rights will become exercisable to purchase common
shares of the acquiror having a market value equal to twice the
purchase price thereof. In addition, Rights held by an Acquiring
Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) will become null and
void, nontransferable and nonexercisable.
The Rights Agreement provides that the Rights will not
become exercisable in the event of a Qualifying Offer. A
"Qualifying Offer" is defined as an all-cash tender offer for all
outstanding shares of the Common Stock that meets certain
fairness requirements, including the provision of a written
opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm
stating that the price to be paid to stockholders pursuant to the
offer is fair from a financial point of view.
Subject to certain limitations, the Company may redeem
the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per
Right. The Rights will expire on January 20, 2004, unless earlier
redeemed by the Company. Concurrent with the closing of TBS
Transaction, the Company expects that New Time Warner will adopt
a Rights Agreement substantially identical to the Company's
Rights Agreement except for the changes referred to in the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 1, 1995.
<PAGE>
The foregoing summary of certain terms of the Rights
does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Rights Agreement,
a copy of which is on file with the Commission.

Stockholders' Agreement. Pursuant to such provisions, this
Prospectus shall be available for the offer and sale of Common
Stock (i) subject to certain Blackout Periods described below,
during the 10 business day period immediately following the
Closing Date and (ii) subject to any Blackout Periods and certain
Holdback provisions described below, during each 15 business day
period beginning on the third business day after the Company's
public announcement of its quarterly or year-end financial
results, subject, however, to certain volume limitations set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that such 15
business day period may be extended and such volume limitations
may be increased in certain circumstances, as provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement. Under the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness
of the registration statement to which this Prospectus relates
for a minimum period of 36 calendar months from the date hereof
(which period may be extended under certain circumstances).
In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement, this Prospectus covers
sales and other dispositions (i) to a third party in a
transaction that complies with the volume and manner of sale
provisions contained in Rule 144(e) and (f) as in effect on the
Closing Date under the Securities Act of 1933 and (ii) to any
third party except in any case where the Selling Shareholder or
any of its Affiliates or Associates (as defined for purposes of
the Stockholders' Agreement) knows or, after commercially
reasonable inquiry should have known, that such third party
beneficially owns or, after giving effect to such sale will
beneficially own, more than 5% of the aggregate Voting Power of
the Voting Securities of the Parent. "Voting Power", when used in
reference to any class or series of securities of the Parent, is
the power of such class or series to vote for the election of
directors. "Voting Securities", when used in reference to any
person, are any securities of such person having Voting Power or
any securities of such person convertible into or exchangeable
for any securities having Voting Power. For purposes of
determining the percentage of Voting Power for any class or
series beneficially owned by any person, any securities not
outstanding which are subject to conversion rights, exchange
rights, rights, warrants, options or similar securities held by
such person shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of
computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class
or series beneficially owned by such person, but shall not be
deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the
percentage of the class or series beneficially owned by any other
person.
Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement
and subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth
therein, the Company may determine that this Prospectus will not
be usable by Holders for reasonable periods of time not in excess
of 90 consecutive days (a "Blackout Period") if the Company (a)
determines in good faith that the registration and distribution
of the Common Stock (or use of this Prospectus) would interfere
with any pending financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization
or other corporate development involving the Company or any of
its subsidiaries (other than a matter covered by the next
sentence) or would require premature disclosure thereof, and (b)
promptly gives the Holders written notice thereof, such notice to
contain a general
<PAGE>
statement of the reasons for the postponement or restriction on
use and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The Company
shall not be entitled to initiate a Blackout Period unless it
shall concurrently forbid purchases or sales in the open market
by senior executives of the Company. The aggregate number of days
included in all Blackout Periods during any consecutive twelve
months shall not exceed the aggregate of 180 days less the number
of days in such period during which the Company shall maintain in
effect a Holdback as described below. The Registration Rights
Agreement provides that, subject to certain conditions and
limitations set forth therein, the Company may require the
Holders to refrain from any public sale or distribution of the
Common Stock (a "Holdback") if the Company or the underwriters
for the Company determines that such transactions would adversely
affect an offering of Common Stock or certain related securities
by the Company.
The Common Stock may be offered for sale at prices and
on terms then prevailing on the securities exchanges where the
Common Stock is traded at prices related to such prices or at
negotiated prices. Such sales may be made on one or more
securities exchanges or in the over-the- counter market or
otherwise. Subject in all cases to the restrictions contained in
the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement
which are summarized above, the Common Stock may be sold by one
or more of the following means of distribution: (a) a block trade
in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the
Common Stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b)
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such
broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this Prospectus;
and (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which
the broker solicits purchasers. This Prospectus may be amended
and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of
distribution.
In connection with distributions of the Common Stock or
otherwise, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions.
In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other
financial institutions may engage in short sales of Common Stock
in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling
Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders may also sell Common Stock
short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions.
The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions
which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of the Common Stock offered hereby, which
Common Stock such broker-dealer or other financial institution,
subject to the Stockholders' Agreement, may resell pursuant to
this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction). The Selling Shareholders may also pledge the shares
registered hereunder to a broker-dealer or other financial
institution and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other
financial institution may, subject to the Stockholders'
Agreement, effect sales of the pledged Common Stock pursuant to
this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
Brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in
the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling
Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated in connection with sales
pursuant hereto. Any such remuneration will be disclosed in a
prospectus or prospectus supplement filed under the Securities
Act. Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers
or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales and any such
commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
In addition, any securities covered
<PAGE>
by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144
may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
Prospectus.
Certain costs, expenses and fees in connection with the
registration of the Common Stock, including certain costs of
legal counsel for the Selling Shareholders, will be borne by the
Company. Commissions, discounts and transfer taxes, if any,
attributable to the sales of the Common Stock will be borne by
the Selling Shareholders, as may a portion of the costs of legal
counsel for the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders
have agreed to indemnify the Company or any underwriter, as the
case may be, and any of their respective affiliates, directors,
officers and controlling persons, against certain liabilities in
connection with the offering of the Common Stock pursuant to this
Prospectus, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Shareholders or any underwriter, as the case may be, and any of
their respective affiliates, directors, officers, trustees,
partners, and controlling persons, and any agent or investment
advisor thereof against certain liabilities in connection with
the offering of the Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors
and officers as well as other employees and individuals against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions,
suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation -- a "derivative action"), if they acted in good
faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable
cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard
is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires
court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of
other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's
charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote,
agreement or otherwise.
Article VI of By-Laws of the Company requires
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware
law of any person who is or was a director or officer of the
Company who is or was involved or threatened to be made so
involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal,
civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact
that such person is or was serving as a director, officer or
employee of the Company or any predecessor of the Company or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or
employee of any other enterprise.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in
the certificate of incorporation of each corporation organized
thereunder, such as the Company, eliminating or limiting, with
certain exceptions, the personal liability of a director to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 1, Article X of the
Certificate of
<PAGE>
Incorporation of the Company eliminates the liability of
directors to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed
provisions of Section 145 and 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article VI
of such By-laws and Section 1, Article X of such Certificate of
Incorporation, as applicable.
The Company's Directors' and Officers' Liability and
Reimbursement Insurance Policy is designed to reimburse the
Company for any payments made by it pursuant to the foregoing
indemnification. Such policy has coverage of $50,000,000.

Item 17. Undertakings.
A. Undertaking Pursuant to Rule 415.
The Company hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act");
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) do
not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 and
the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement;
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
B. Undertaking Regarding Filings Incorporating
Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference.
The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
<PAGE>
C. Undertaking in Respect of Indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions
described and the documents referenced under Item 15 above, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
