As of the close of business September 1, 2006, Hollinger and its subsidiaries - other than Sun-Times Media Group Inc. ("Sun-Times") and its subsidiaries - had approximately US$31.0 million of cash or cash equivalents on hand, including restricted cash, other than as described separately below. At that date, Hollinger owned, directly or indirectly, 782,923 shares of Class A Common Stock and 14,990,000 shares of Class B Common Stock of Sun-Times. Based on the September 1, 2006 closing price of the shares of Class A Common Stock of Sun-Times on the New York Stock Exchange of US$7.43, the market value of Hollinger's direct and indirect holdings in Sun-Times was US$117.2 million. All of Hollinger's direct and indirect interest in the shares of Class A Common Stock of Sun-Times is being held in escrow in support of future retractions of its Series II Preference Shares. All of Hollinger's direct and indirect interest in the shares of Class B Common Stock of Sun-Times is pledged as security in connection with the senior notes (the "Senior Notes") and the second senior notes (the "Second Senior Notes"). Collectively, the Senior Notes and Second Senior Notes are referred to as the “Notes”. In addition to the cash or cash equivalents on hand noted above, Hollinger has previously deposited approximately C$8.7 million in trust with the law firm of Aird & Berlis LLP, as trustee, in support of Hollinger's indemnification obligations to six former independent directors and two current officers. In addition, C$754,000 has been deposited in escrow with the law firm of Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP in support of the obligations of a certain Hollinger subsidiary.

On April 20, 2005, the Court issued two orders by which The Ravelston Corporation Limited ("Ravelston") and Ravelston Management Inc. ("RMI") were: (i) placed in receivership pursuant to the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act (Canada) and the Courts of Justice Act (Ontario) (the "Receivership Order"); and (ii) granted protection pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the "CCAA Order"). Pursuant thereto, RSM Richter Inc. ("Richter") was appointed receiver and manager of all of the property, assets and undertakings of Ravelston and RMI. Ravelston holds approximately 16.5% of the outstanding Retractable Common Shares of Hollinger. On May 18, 2005, the Court further ordered that the Receivership Order and the CCAA Order be extended to include Argus Corporation Limited and its five subsidiary companies which collectively own, directly or indirectly, 61.8% of the outstanding Retractable Common Shares and approximately 4% of the Series II Preference Shares of Hollinger (collectively, Argus Corporation Limited and its five subsidiary companies, as well as Ravelston and RMI are referred to as the "Ravelston Entities"). On June 12, 2006, the Court appointed Richter as receiver and manager and interim receiver of all the property, assets and undertaking of Argent News Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ravelston. The Ravelston Entities own, in aggregate, approximately 78% of the outstanding Retractable Common Shares and approximately 4% of the Series II Preference Shares of Hollinger. The Court has extended the stay of proceedings against the Ravelston Entities to September 29, 2006.

(formerly Hollinger International Inc.), a newspaper publisher with assets which include the Chicago Sun-Times and a large number of community newspapers in the Chicago area. Hollinger’s percentage ownership in Sun-Times has increased due to the implementation by Sun-Times of its stock repurchase program announced on March 15, 2006.
