DEREGISTRATION

The New York Times Company (the "Company") registered plan interests in the BNG/Boston Globe Savings 401(k) Plan (f.k.a. the BGEA/Boston Globe Employee Savings Plan) (the "Plan"), which were offered to eligible employees of Globe Newspaper Company, a subsidiary of the Company. The Company also registered 121,200 shares of its Class A common stock (such number reflecting a two-for-one stock split which took effect subsequent to the effectiveness of the registration) in which such employee contributions could be invested pursuant to the Plan.

The Plan has been amended so as no longer to permit participants in the Plan to invest their contributions in the Company's Class A common stock. Accordingly, the Company hereby removes from registration all plan interests and Class A common stock not sold pursuant to the Plan.
