Black, et al. c/o Hollinger International Inc. 401 North Wabash, Suite 740 Chicago, Illinois 60611 Issuer Name and Ticker or Trading Symbol: Hollinger International Inc./HLR Statement for Month/Year May 1999 Explanations: (1) Beginning on May 13, 1999, each Series II Exchangeable Non-Voting Preference Share of Hollinger Inc. (a "Series II Preference Share") became exchangeable, at the option of the holder, for 0.46 (subject to adjustment) of a share of Class A Common Stock of Hollinger International Inc. (the "Issuer") (subject to a cash redemption option available to Hollinger Inc.) and entitled its holder to receive a dividend equal to the Canadian dollar equivalent of the amount of any dividend on 0.46 of a Class A Common Share of the Issuer (less any U.S. withholding tax thereon payable by Hollinger Inc. or any subsidiary thereof). The Series II Preference Shares were originally issued in 1997 and 1998 in exchange for Equity Units of Hollinger Inc. and for Series I Non-Voting Preference Shares of Hollinger Inc., respectively, at a stated value of $10.00 per share. (2) As of May 13, 1999, Hollinger Inc. had outstanding 25,000,000 Series II Preference Shares that were exchangeable for Class A Common Stock of the Issuer at a fixed exchange rate as described in Note 1. As a result of the transaction described in Note 1, Hollinger Inc. had a put equivalent position with respect to 11,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. As of May 13, 1999, Conrad M. Black directly owned 1,611,039 Series II Preference Shares that were exchangeable for Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, creating a call equivalent position with respect to 741,077 shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock, and The Ravelston Corporation Limited owned 66,963 Series II Preference Shares that were exchangeable for Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, Page 8 of 9 creating a call equivalent position with respect to 30,802 shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock. Hollinger Corporation is effectively controlled by The Ravelston Corporation Limited, which is indirectly controlled by Conrad M. Black. (3) The conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock was initially based upon the Canadian Dollar equivalent of U.S.$14.00 per share of Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. (4) On May 13, 1999, the Issuer issued one share of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred Stock") in exchange for each outstanding share of its Series D Preferred Stock. (5) Owned by 504468 N.B. Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hollinger Inc. (6) The shares of Series E Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer at the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the Conversion Price. For purposes of this conversion, each share of Series E Preferred Stock is taken at Cdn.$146.625. The "Conversion Price" is initially U.S. $14.00 per share of Class A Common Stock, and the "Canadian Dollar Equivalent" of the Conversion Price on any particular day is the Conversion Price expressed in Canadian currency based on the noon buying rate in New York City. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. (7) Barbara Amiel Black disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held directly or indirectly by her spouse, Conrad M. Black, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that Barbara Amiel Black is a beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
