PRESS RELEASE
FINAL TERMS OF RIGHTS OFFERING
Toronto, Canada, June 8, 1999 -- Hollinger Inc. ("Hollinger")
(TSE, ME, VSE: HLG.C, NASDAQ: HLGCF) announced today the final terms of its
previously announced retractable common share rights offering to its
shareholders to raise up to approximately Cdn. $115 million. Holders of
record of retractable common shares at the close of business on June 17,
1999 will be entitled to one right for each share held. Five rights will
entitle the holder to purchase one retractable common share at a
subscription price of Cdn. $17.50, for an aggregate of up to 6,578,300
retractable common shares. The rights expire at 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on
July 9, 1999. Holders who exercise their rights in full will be entitled to
subscribe for additional retractable common shares, if any remain
available, on a pro rata basis.
A circular in respect of the rights offering will be mailed to
holders of record on June 17, 1999 as soon as practicable after June 17,
1999.
The Ravelston Corporation Limited (which indirectly owns
approximately 63% of Hollinger's retractable common shares) intends,
subject to market conditions, to subscribe for its pro rata share of the
rights offering (approximately Cdn. $73 million).
The proceeds of the rights offering will be used to repay bank
indebtedness.
