The Schedule TO relates to the offer by JS Acquisition to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Emmis (the “Shares”) pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 2, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”).
     All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 6 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in this Amendment No. 6, the Schedule TO or the Offer to Purchase.
     The items of the Schedule TO set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Items 1 through 9, 11 and 13.
  1.   The Offer has been extended from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 13, 2010 until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 20, 2010. All references in the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal, the Letter to Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees, the Letter to Clients for use by Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees and the Letter to Participants in the Emmis Operating Company 401(k) Plan to the Expiration Date of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 13, 2010 are hereby amended and restated to refer to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 20, 2010.
 
  2.   As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 13, 2010, 20,745,196.463 Shares had been tendered into and not withdrawn from the Offer. If not withdrawn at or prior to expiration of the Offer, these Shares would satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition. In addition, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 13, 2010, 423,203 shares of Existing Preferred Stock had been tendered into and not withdrawn from the Exchange Offer.
 
  3.   “Special Factors” (Section 1 — Background of the Offer; Past Contacts and Negotiations with Emmis) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by inserting the following text after the last paragraph thereof:
 
      “In light of the ongoing discussions and negotiations between the representatives of JS Acquisition, Emmis and Alden and the representatives of the Locked-Up Holders as of August 13, 2010, Emmis further extended the Exchange Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 20, 2010 and issued a press release announcing the further extension of the Exchange Offer and the adjournment of the special meeting of Emmis shareholders, which was convened at 6:30 p.m., local time, on Friday, August 13, 2010, at Emmis’ Headquarters, to vote on the Proposed Amendments, until 6:30 p.m., local time, on Friday, August 20, 2010, at Emmis’ Headquarters, and JS Acquisition further extended the Offer and issued a press release announcing the further extension of the Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 20, 2010. On the same day, Alden consented to the further extension of the Offer and the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of the Alden Purchase Agreement. Emmis (with the approval of the Committee) had previously consented to the further extension of the Offer, and JS Parent had previously consented to the further extension of the Exchange Offer, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As of August 13, 2010, JS Parent, JS Acquisition and Mr. Smulyan have stated that they expect to continue to negotiate in an effort to reach an agreement with the Locked-Up Holders. There was no assurance that such an agreement would be reached, in which case alternative structures will be explored.
 
      On August 16, 2010, JS Acquisition, JS Parent, Mr. Smulyan and Emmis filed an Amendment to their combined Statement on Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3 with the SEC with respect to the further extension of the Offer. On that same day, Emmis filed Amendment No. 6 to its Schedule TO/13E-3
