The following e-mail communication was sent from Dennis J. FitzSimons, Tribune Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, to employees of Tribune Company on Friday, August 3, 2007:

Subject line: ESOP Communication

Dear Fellow Employee:

By now, employees who own Tribune shares should have received notice of the August 21 shareholder meeting to approve our going-private transaction, as well as the related proxy materials. Be sure to read the materials carefully and cast your vote by mail, phone or Internet.

We realize that many employees still have questions about the Employee Stock Ownership Plan that is part of our going-private transaction. Please remember that extensive information is available on our employee website, www.tribuneathome.com. Answers to nearly 100 “Frequently Asked Questions” are included. If your question is not addressed there, use the “Ask a Question” feature on the site and you will receive a prompt response.

We will communicate the shareholder voting results immediately following the meeting, and further information on the ESOP beginning in September.

Sincerely,

Important Additional Information Regarding the Merger is on file with the SEC

In connection with the proposed merger transaction, Tribune Company has filed a definitive proxy statement and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIALS, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement and other documents filed by Tribune with the SEC at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. The definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents may also be obtained free of charge on Tribune’s website at www.tribune.com or by directing a request to Tribune Company, 435 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611, Attention: Investor Relations. You may also read and copy any reports, statements and other information filed by Tribune with the SEC at the SEC public

Tribune Company and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be “participants” in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of Tribune in connection with the proposed merger transaction. Information about Tribune and its directors and executive officers and their ownership of Tribune common stock is set forth in the proxy statement for Tribune’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Shareholders and investors may obtain additional information regarding the interests of Tribune Company and its directors and executive officers in the merger transaction, which may be different than those of Tribune’s shareholders generally, by reading the definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents regarding the merger transaction.
