DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This post-effective amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the following registration statement of Time Warner Inc. (the “Issuer”) and Historic TW Inc., Home Box Office, Inc. and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.

On June 14, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 22, 2016, by and among the Issuer, AT&T Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AT&T”), West Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T (“Corporate Merger Sub”), and West Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T (“LLC Merger Sub”), Corporate Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the “First Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving company in the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T.  Immediately thereafter, the Issuer merged with and into LLC Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Transaction”), with LLC Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity in the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T.  Upon the effective time of the Second Merger, the name of LLC Merger Sub was changed from “West Merger Sub II, LLC” to “Time Warner LLC.”

As a result of the Transaction, the Registrants have terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.  Accordingly, Time Warner LLC, as successor by merger to the Issuer, and the other Registrants hereby terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with undertakings made by the Registrants in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered but remained unsold at the termination of the offering, remove from registration any and all securities of the Registrants registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
