Explanation of Responses:
1. On July 14, 2006, Sun-Times Media Group, Inc. (f/k/a Hollinger International Inc.) (the "Company") issued Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs") to certain of its directors in accordance with the Company's compensation program for non-employee directors in connection with the payment of a cash dividend on the shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock").
2. 1-for-1.
3. The DSUs were issued pursuant to the Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and the Company's compensation program for non-employee directors. Upon the settlement of the DSUs, the Company shall transfer to the Reporting Person one share of common stock for each DSU held by the Reporting Person. Each such DSU granted represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of the Class A Common Stock as soon as is reasonably practicable after the date such non-employee Board member ceases to be a member of the Board (or, if later, on the date the non-employee director suffers a "separation from service," as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). The non-employee Board member will receive a cash payment for any fractional shares of the Class A Common Stock when the DSUs are settled.
4. Not applicable.
