DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
on S-4 (the "Registration Statement") of The Times Mirror Company (the
"Registrant") is to deregister shares of the Conversion Preferred Stock, Series
B, $1.00 par value per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), of the Registrant
that were not issued to stockholders of the Registrant in the Exchange Offer (as
defined in the Registration Statement). Of the 18,000,000 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock heretofore registered, only 16,561,178 shares were issued in the
Exchange Offer. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby deregisters the remaining
1,438,822 shares of Series B Preferred Stock which were not issued in the
Exchange Offer (the "Deregistered Shares"). Also being deregistered hereby are
1,438,822 shares of the Series A Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the
"Series A Common Stock"), of the Registrant issuable upon conversion of the
Deregistered Shares, as well as such indeterminate number of shares of Series A
Common Stock as may be issuable upon or in connection with the conversion of the
Deregistered Shares as a consequence of adjustments to the Common Equivalent
Rate (i.e., the rate at which shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are
converted into shares of Series A Common Stock), upon the redemption of the
Deregistered Shares or as payment in lieu of cash dividends.
