        <footnote id="F1">On March 30, 2007, Sun-Times Media Group, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) issued Deferred Stock Units (&quot;DSUs&quot;) to certain of its
 directors in accordance with the Company's compensation program for non-employee directors.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">1-for-1.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">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 Company's 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 &quot;separation
 from service,&quot; 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 Company's Class A Common Stock when the DSUs are settled.</footnote>
