Recent Events

On April 17, 2006, Stanley Beck was named Chairman of Hollinger, replacing Joseph Wright who resigned from the Board of Directors effective on that date. Mr. Beck is a corporate director, former Dean of Osgoode Hall Law School, and a former chairman of the Ontario Securities Commission. He has been a director of Hollinger since July 2005.

The Board has appointed a Nominating Committee, consisting of Stanley Beck, David Drinkwater and David Rattee, with a view to identifying up to three new directors to be added to the current Board.

On April 18, 2006, Hollinger filed with securities regulators its notice of intention to change the end of its financial year from December 31 to March 31, effective March 31, 2006. The change in the financial year-end is subject to approval by the Canada Revenue Agency. The full filing is available at www.sedar.com.

Financial Statements

Hollinger has been unable to file its annual financial statements, Management’s Discussion & Analysis and Annual Information Form for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 on a timely basis as required by Canadian securities legislation. Hollinger has not filed its interim financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30 in each of its 2004 and 2005 fiscal years. The Audit Committee is working with the auditors, and discussing with regulators, various alternatives to return its financial reporting requirements to current status.

Hollinger has released financial information in the form of an unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2004, together with notes thereto, prepared on a non-GAAP alternative basis (the "Alternative Financial Information"). The Alternative Financial Information, which may be found as part of Hollinger's press release issued on March 4, 2005, was prepared by the management of Hollinger at that time and was not audited or reviewed by Hollinger's auditors.
