Dear Sun-Times Media Group Stockholder:

Sun-Times Media Group Inc. (“Sun-Times” or the “Company”) is experiencing a serious financial and operating crisis. In his recent November 6, 2008 letter to stockholders, Cyrus Freidheim, Sun-Times’ President and Chief Executive Officer, detailed the Company’s deteriorating financial and operating condition. Mr. Freidheim pointed out, among other things, that during the third quarter of 2008:

• “Revenue declines affected all of our properties”

• “In the first half of 2008, we successfully implemented a $50 million annual cost reduction, which we expected would stabilize the Company’s cash flow. It didn’t.”

• “…the Company’s cash position decreased by $16 million.”

Sun-Times’ third quarter performance extends the downward trend that has gripped this Company for a number of years. The harsh reality is that weakening consumer demand, rising input costs of ink and newsprint, a slowdown in advertising, and a long term secular trend away from print towards online readership have already resulted in negative normalized free cash flow for Sun-Times of roughly $20 million per quarter on average since 2006.

In our view, the Company must take dramatic steps to arrest the cash burn rate before it exhausts the remaining liquidity on the balance sheet. Davidson Kempner Capital Management LLC affiliates are collectively one of the largest stockholders of Sun-Times. As such, Davidson Kempner strongly believes it is in Sun-Times’ best interests to change the Company’s leadership, both at the CEO and the Board level, by reconstituting the Board with new Directors who combine deep experience in the publishing space with the rigors of financial restructuring.

On October 31, 2008, Davidson Kempner sent a letter to the Chairman of the Board of Sun-Times proposing a specific reconstitution of the Board. To maximize its working efficiency, we proposed reducing the Board’s size to five directors from its present total of seven. In addition to current independent Director Robert Poile of Polar Securities, a large Sun-Times stockholder, we submitted four new director candidates whom we have researched and believe will make significant contributions to the future of Sun-Times. Each of these candidates is independent of both Sun-Times and Davidson Kempner. They are:

Jeremy L. Halbreich. Mr. Halbreich is the former President and General Manager of The Dallas Morning News, where he spent 24 years working in marketing and general management positions. In 1998 he founded American Consolidated Media (ACM), which today operates over 100 community newspapers across the country. Mr. Halbreich sold ACM in 2007 to an Australian media group. He is a graduate of Harvard College and the Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program.

Robert A. Schmitz. Mr. Schmitz is a partner at Quest Turnaround Advisors, a restructuring firm. He has led turnarounds at PTV Inc., Cablecom, and the Spectran Corporation. As a former Managing Director of Trust Company of the West (TCW), he was responsible for all media related investments, including a number of community newspaper groups. Mr. Schmitz is a former partner at McKinsey & Co., the management consulting firm, where he advised Dow Jones on its reorganization of the Wall Street Journal and later joined the Dow Jones Management Committee to oversee various publishing divisions. Mr. Schmitz is a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lee Hillman. Mr. Hillman, a Chicago native, has led a number of well-known operational turnarounds. He served as the CFO of Bally Entertainment and later the Chairman and CEO of Bally Total Fitness, the casino and fitness conglomerate where he led the restructuring that resulted in a public listing of Bally’s shares on the New York Stock Exchange. He is a former audit partner at Ernst & Young and has held director positions at RCN Corporation, Wyndham International, Healthsouth, and the Adelphia Recovery Trust. Mr. Hillman is a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania and the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago. He is a Certified Public Accountant.

Michael E. Katzenstein. Mr. Katzenstein is founder and principal of CXO, L.L.C., a restructuring and turnaround management firm. Mr. Katzenstein has served as Chief Restructuring Officer and in other senior management roles in a number of recent turnarounds including the predecessor to One Communications Corp., Pacific Crossing Limited, Pac-West Telecomm, and VarTec Telecom and advises many companies and investor groups in the media, technology and telecommunications industries, among others. He currently serves as Chairman of the board of directors at RCN Corporation. He was formerly a law partner at the New York predecessor to Cooley Godward Kronish in New York. Mr. Katzenstein is a graduate of the State University of New York at Binghamton, and the Boston University School of Law.

If the reconstituted Board were to determine that a new Chief Executive is required, it would weigh how best to fill that role. In our letter, we recommended that the changeover of the Board occur at its next scheduled meeting on November 17, 2008. Our letter was made public through a Schedule 13D filing.

On November 7, 2008, the Chairman of the Board of Sun-Times sent us a letter in which he stated his agreement with our assessment of the challenges facing the Company. He also stated that the current Board agrees “that it may be appropriate to restructure the Board over the course of the next few months so that a renewed (and perhaps smaller) Board may guide the Company through the difficulties it faces in 2009.” In that letter, the Chairman wrote that earlier this year “the Board initiated efforts to identify potential new directors of Sun-Times Media Group” and that “we have also identified candidates whom we are in the process of vetting.” The letter concluded with the recognition that “holders of a majority of our shares may act in concert to elect a new Board without further action by the existing directors.” This letter was made public by the Company in a Form 8-K filing dated the same day as the letter.

On November 18, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the intention of the Chairman of the Board to resign by December 31, 2008, along with two other Directors who are currently members of the Board’s Special Committee. In this press release, the Board said that it is “evaluating a general restructuring of the Board” and is “evaluating candidates for appointment to the Board” that include our aforementioned Director candidates.

We do not believe these pronouncements are sufficient to address the urgent need for new leadership at Sun-Times. In our opinion, a partly reconstituted Board, which leaves the Chief Executive and two existing Directors in place on the Board with no assurances regarding the selection of three future Directors, is an inadequate gesture given the magnitude of the issues confronting the Company. Sun-Times is burning significant cash as detailed in its recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Company and its stakeholders cannot afford to risk delay to a wholesale changeover at the Board level. As a large stockholder, we have been consistent in voicing the need for seasoned directors with deep publishing and financial restructuring experience who can immediately begin the critical mission to streamline the Company’s cost structure and mediate liabilities. We have proposed five highly competent and qualified candidates to guide the Company as new Directors in these endeavors which we believe are essential to resuscitate the Company and preserve this franchise for all stakeholders.

The failure of the Sun-Times Directors to commit to the immediate reconstitution of the Board we have proposed has left us with no alternative but to seek this reconstitution through the consent of Sun-Times stockholders. As time is of the essence, we are moving forward to undertake this solicitation. We view a direct solicitation as the most expeditious means of reconstituting the Board so that new Directors can work to position Sun-Times to move forward over the long term as a financially healthy and operationally sound media enterprise over the long term.

Davidson Kempner is seeking the consent of Sun-Times Media Group stockholders to the changes it has proposed for the Sun-Times Board of Directors. Davidson Kempner and its affiliated entities hold in aggregate 4,858,073 Sun-Times shares or 5.9% of common stock outstanding as disclosed in our Schedule 13D filing dated

September 10, 2008. Additionally, as described in our Schedule 13D, certain of these affiliated funds own substantial amounts of Hollinger Inc. notes that are secured by a pledge over 16.5 million of the Company’s shares of which we disclaim any beneficial ownership.

By providing your consent, you will help to enable the proposals we have made to reconstitute the Sun-Times Board to succeed. We urge all stockholders to support this effort.

We thank you for your support.

SUN-TIMES MEDIA GROUP INC.

CONSENT STATEMENT

OF

DAVIDSON KEMPNER CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC

This Consent Statement and the enclosed WHITE consent card are being furnished by Davidson Kempner Capital Management LLC and certain of affiliated entities and persons (as described below), in connection with our solicitation of written consents from you, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Sun-Times Media Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sun-Times”). A solicitation of written consents is a process that allows a company’s stockholders to act by submitting written consents to any proposed stockholder actions in lieu of voting in person or by proxy at an annual or special meeting of stockholders. Davidson Kempner (as defined below) is soliciting written consents from the holders of shares of Common Stock to take the following actions (each, as more fully described in this Consent Statement, a “Proposal” and together, the “Proposals”), in the following order, without a stockholders’ meeting, as authorized by Delaware law:

1. Repeal any provision of the Sun-Times bylaws in effect at the time this proposal becomes effective that were not included in the amended and restated bylaws filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 9, 2008 (the “Bylaw Restoration Proposal”);

2. Remove (i) each member of the board of directors of Sun-Times (the “Board” or “Sun-Times Board”) other than Robert B. Poile at the time this proposal becomes effective, and (ii) each person appointed to the Board to fill any vacancy or newly-created directorship prior to the effectiveness of the Election Proposal (the “Removal Proposal”); and

3. Elect each of Jeremy L. Halbreich, Robert A. Schmitz, Lee S. Hillman, and Michael E. Katzenstein (each, a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Nominees”) to serve as a director of Sun-Times (or, if any such Nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director of Sun-Times, any other person designated as a Nominee by the remaining Nominee or Nominees) (the “Election Proposal”).

This Consent Statement and the enclosed WHITE consent card are first being sent or given to the stockholders of Sun-Times on or about [                    ], 2008.

We are seeking stockholder consents to replace each of the members of the Sun-Times Board other than Robert B. Poile. On October 31, 2008, we sent a letter to Raymond G.H. Seitz, the chairman of the Sun-Times Board, proposing a specific reconstitution of the Board. To maximize its working efficiency, we proposed reducing the Board’s size to five directors from its present total of seven. We believe it is in Sun-Times’ best interest to change the company’s leadership by reconstituting the Board with new directors who combine deep experience in the publishing space with the rigors of financial restructuring.

Specifically, Davidson Kempner is soliciting your consent in favor of the adoption of the Removal Proposal and the Election Proposal because Davidson Kempner believes Sun-Times stockholders will be best served by independent Nominees who are committed to safeguarding and promoting the best interests of all Sun-Times stockholders.

In addition, we are also soliciting your consent in favor of the adoption of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal to ensure that the incumbent Sun-Times Board does not limit the effect of your consent to the removal of the incumbent members of the Board as set forth herein and the election of the Nominees through changes to the Sun-Times bylaws not filed with the SEC on or before May 9, 2008.

The effectiveness of each of the Proposals requires the affirmative consent of the holders of record of a majority of the Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date (as defined under the caption “Consent Procedure” on page 9). Each Proposal will be effective without further action when we deliver to Sun-Times such requisite number of consents. Neither the Bylaw Restoration Proposal nor the Removal Proposal is subject to, or is conditioned upon, the effectiveness of the other Proposals. The Election Proposal is conditioned in part upon the effectiveness of the Removal Proposal. If none of the then existing members of (or appointees to) the Sun-Times Board are removed in the Removal Proposal, and there are no vacancies to fill, none of the Nominees can be elected pursuant to the Election Proposal.

In addition, none of the Proposals will be effective unless the delivery of the written consents complies with Section 228(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). For the Proposals to be effective, properly completed and unrevoked written consents must be delivered to Sun-Times within 60 days of the earliest dated written consent delivered to Sun-Times. Davidson Kempner delivered its written consent to Sun-Times on [    ], 2008. Consequently, by [                    ], 2009 Davidson Kempner will need to deliver properly completed and unrevoked written consents to the Proposals from the holders of record of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below). We intend to set [                    ], 2008 as the goal for submission of written consents. Effectively, this means that you have until [                    ], 2009 to consent to the Proposals. WE URGE YOU TO ACT TODAY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR CONSENT WILL COUNT. Davidson Kempner reserves the right to submit to Sun-Times consents at any time within 60 days of the earliest dated written consent delivered to Sun-Times. See “Consent Procedures” for additional information regarding such procedures.

This solicitation is being made by Davidson Kempner and not by or on behalf of the Sun-Times Board. As used in this solicitation statement, Davidson Kempner means Davidson Kempner Capital Management LLC, Davidson Kempner Partners, Davidson Kempner Institutional Partners, L.P., M.H. Davidson & Co., Davidson Kempner International, Ltd., Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP, Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities International Ltd., Davidson Kempner Event Driven Equities Fund LP, Davidson Kempner Event Driven Equities International Fund Ltd., MHD Management Co., DK Group LLC, DK Management Partners LP, DK Stillwater GP LLC, Davidson Kempner Advisers Inc., Davidson Kempner International Advisors, L.L.C., and Messrs.

According to Sun-Times’ public filings, there were 82,312,709 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2008. The stockholders of Sun-Times are entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock.

Davidson Kempner is asking you to consent to the Removal Proposal and the Election Proposal to remove Sun-Times’ current directors (other than Robert B. Poile) and any appointees to the Sun-Times Board prior to the effectiveness of the Removal Proposal, and to replace them with the Nominees.

Please see the sections titled “PROPOSAL 1 — THE BYLAW RESTORATION PROPOSAL”, “PROPOSAL 2 — THE REMOVAL PROPOSAL” and “PROPOSAL 3 — THE ELECTION PROPOSAL” for the full text of, and a more complete description of, the Proposals.

Who can consent to the Proposals?

If you are a record owner of shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on [                    ], 2008, the Record Date with respect to the consent solicitation, you have the right to consent to the Proposals.

firm, dealer, trust company or other nominee. Please see the section titled “VOTING SECURITIES” for details regarding how to instruct your bank, broker firm, dealer, trust company or other nominee to consent to the Proposals.

When is the deadline for submitting consents?

In order for the Proposals to be adopted, Davidson Kempner must receive written consents signed by the holders of record of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date within 60 days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to Sun-Times. Davidson Kempner delivered its written consent to Sun-Times on [    ], 2008. Consequently, Davidson Kempner will need to deliver properly completed and unrevoked written consents to the Proposals from the holders of record of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date no later than [                    ], 2009. Nevertheless, we intend to set [                    ], 2008 as the goal for submission of written consents. Effectively, this means that you have until [                    ], 2009 to consent to the Proposals. WE URGE YOU TO ACT TODAY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR CONSENT WILL COUNT. Davidson Kempner reserves the right to submit to Sun-Times consents at any time within 60 days of the earliest dated written consent delivered to Sun-Times. See “CONSENT PROCEDURES” for additional information regarding such procedures.

How many consents must be granted in favor of each of the Proposals?

Each of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal, the Removal Proposal and the election of each Nominee to replace the removed members of (and any appointees to) the Sun-Times Board will be adopted and become effective when properly completed, unrevoked consents are signed by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date, provided that such consents are delivered to Sun-Times within 60 days of the earliest dated written consent delivered to Sun-Times. According to Sun-Times’ quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 7, 2008, as of October 31, 2008 there were 82,312,709 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Assuming that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is 82,312,709 on the Record Date, the consent of stockholders holding at least 41,156,355 shares of Common Stock would be necessary to effect each of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal, the Removal Proposal and the election of each Nominee to the Sun-Times Board.

IF YOU TAKE NO ACTION, YOU WILL IN EFFECT BE REJECTING THE PROPOSALS. ABSTENTIONS, FAILURES TO CONSENT AND BROKER NON-VOTES WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS WITHHOLDING CONSENT.

What should you do to consent?

If your shares of Common Stock are registered in your own name, please submit your consent to us by signing, dating and returning the enclosed WHITE consent card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

If you hold your shares in “street” name with a bank, broker firm, dealer, trust company or other nominee, only they can exercise your right to consent with respect to your shares of Common Stock and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, it is critical that you promptly give instructions to consent to the Proposals to your bank, broker firm, dealer, trust company or other nominee. Please follow the instructions to consent provided on the enclosed WHITE consent card.

IMPORTANT

Davidson Kempner urges you to express your consent on the WHITE consent card TODAY to:

• the Removal Proposal and the Election Proposal to remove and replace the incumbent Sun-Times Board (excluding Robert B. Poile, but including any pending appointees) with the Nominees; and

• the Bylaw Restoration Proposal to ensure that the incumbent Sun-Times Board does not limit the effect of your consent to the removal of the incumbent Board and the election of the Nominees.

PROPOSAL 1 — THE BYLAW RESTORATION PROPOSAL

Davidson Kempner is asking you to consent to the adoption of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal to ensure that the incumbent Sun-Times Board does not limit the effect of your consent to the removal of the incumbent Board and the election of the Nominees through changes to the Sun-Times bylaws not filed with the SEC on or before May 9, 2008.

The following is the text of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal:

“RESOLVED, that any provision of the bylaws of Sun-Times Media Group, Inc. as of the effectiveness of this resolution that were not included in the amended and restated bylaws filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2008, be and are hereby repealed.”

Davidson Kempner believes that any change to the Sun-Times bylaws adopted after May 9, 2008 could serve to limit the ability of the Nominees to pursue the best interests of Sun-Times and its stockholders. If the incumbent Sun-Times Board does not effect any change to the version of the bylaws publicly available in filings by Sun-Times with the SEC on or before May 9, 2008, the Bylaw Restoration Proposal will have no effect. However, if the incumbent Sun-Times Board has made changes since that time, the Bylaw Restoration Proposal, if adopted, will restore the Sun-Times bylaws to the version that was publicly available in filings by Sun-Times with the SEC on May 9, 2008, without considering the nature of any changes the incumbent Sun-Times Board may have adopted. As a result, the Bylaw Restoration Proposal could have the effect of repealing bylaw amendments which one or more stockholders of Sun-Times may consider to be beneficial to them or to Sun-Times. However, the Bylaw Restoration Proposal will not preclude the newly-elected Sun-Times Board from reconsidering any repealed bylaw changes following the consent solicitation. Davidson Kempner is not currently aware of any specific bylaw provisions that would be repealed by the adoption of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal.

DAVIDSON KEMPNER URGES YOU TO CONSENT TO THE BYLAW RESTORATION PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 2 — THE REMOVAL PROPOSAL

Davidson Kempner is asking you to consent to the Removal Proposal to remove each member of the Sun-Times Board (other than Robert B. Poile) and any other person or persons appointed to the Sun-Times Board to fill any vacancy or any newly-created directorships (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes persons elected pursuant to this consent solicitation). The following is the text of the Removal Proposal:

“RESOLVED, that (i) each member of the board of directors of Sun-Times Media Group, Inc. at the time this resolution becomes effective (other than Robert B. Poile), and (ii) each person appointed to the Board to fill any vacancy or newly-created directorship prior to the effectiveness of Proposal 3 (Election Proposal), be and hereby is removed.”

Sun-Times held its 2008 annual meeting of stockholders on June 17, 2008. According to publicly available information, as of June 24, 2008, the Sun-Times Board is comprised of seven (7) directors, such members being Herbert A. Denton, Peter J. Dey, Cyrus F. Freidheim, Jr., Gordon A. Paris, Robert B. Poile, Graham W. Savage, and Raymond G.H. Seitz.

On November 18, 2008, Sun-Times announced the intention of Gordon A. Paris, Graham W. Savage and Raymond G.H. Seitz to resign from the Board by December 31, 2008.

Under Delaware law, directors not serving on a classified board may be removed from office by the stockholders without cause. According to publicly available information, Davidson Kempner believes that the Sun-Times Board is not classified under Delaware law and that, accordingly, the members of the Sun-Times Board (other than Robert B. Poile) may be removed without cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote or consent.

DAVIDSON KEMPNER URGES YOU TO CONSENT TO THE REMOVAL PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 3 — THE ELECTION PROPOSAL

Davidson Kempner is asking you to consent to elect, without a stockholders’ meeting, each of the following individuals to serve as a director of Sun-Times:

Name

(1) Jeremy L. Halbreich

(2) Robert A. Schmitz

(3) Lee S. Hillman

(4) Michael E. Katzenstein

Although Davidson Kempner has no reason to believe that any of the Nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as directors, if any of the Nominees is not available for election, the persons named on the WHITE consent card may designate such other nominee or nominees to be elected to the Sun-Times Board. Each of the Nominees has agreed to be named in this Consent Statement and to serve as a director of Sun-Times, if elected. If elected, each Nominee will hold office and until his successor is elected and qualified at Sun-Times’ 2009 annual meeting or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

As described above, it is possible that some, but not all, of the current directors of the Sun-Times Board may be removed pursuant to the Removal Proposal. To the extent that not all of the existing directors (other than Mr. Poile) are removed, vacancies will be filled by the Nominee receiving the most number of consents filling the first available vacancy, until all vacancies are filled. If two or more Nominees receive an equal number of consents, the Nominees with the lowest number set forth opposite such Nominee’s name in the table above will fill the next available vacancy until all vacancies are filled. To the extent that a Nominee is elected by you but such Nominee cannot serve because there is no vacancy, the new Board may, based on the support of the holders representing at least a majority of the Common Stock then outstanding and in order to effect the consent of such holders, vote to enlarge the size of the Board and name such Nominee to a newly-created directorship.

For information on the Nominees, please see the section titled “THE NOMINEES” and Annex A of this Consent Statement.

DAVIDSON KEMPNER URGES YOU TO CONSENT TO THE ELECTION OF ALL NOMINEES.

NUMBER OF CONSENTS REQUIRED FOR THE PROPOSALS

Each of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal, the Removal Proposal and the election of each Nominee will be adopted and become effective when properly completed, unrevoked consents are signed by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, provided that such consents are delivered to Sun-Times within 60 days of the earliest dated written consent delivered to Sun-Times. According to Sun-Times’ quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 7, 2008, as of October 31, 2008 there were 82,312,709 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Assuming that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is 82,312,709 as of the Record Date, the consent of stockholders holding at least 41,156,355 shares of Common Stock would be necessary to effect each of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal, the Removal Proposal and the election of each Nominee to the Sun-Times Board. IF YOU TAKE NO ACTION, YOU WILL IN EFFECT BE REJECTING THE PROPOSALS. ABSTENTIONS, FAILURES TO CONSENT AND BROKER NON-VOTES WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS WITHHOLDING CONSENT. “Broker non-votes” occur when a bank, broker or other nominee holder has not received instructions with respect to a particular matter, including the Proposals, and therefore does not have discretionary power to vote on that matter. As a result, we urge you to contact your broker, banker or other nominee TODAY if any shares of Common Stock you own are held in the name of a broker, banker or other nominee and you have not provided to them instructions to promptly consent to the Bylaw Restoration Proposal, the Removal Proposal and the Election Proposal. Please follow the instructions to consent provided on the enclosed WHITE consent card. If your bank, broker firm, dealer, trust company or other nominee provides for consent instructions to be delivered to them by telephone or internet, instructions will be included on the enclosed WHITE consent card.

Neither the Bylaw Restoration Proposal nor the Removal Proposal is subject to, or is conditioned upon, the effectiveness of the other Proposals. The Election Proposal is conditioned in part upon the effectiveness of the Removal Proposal. If none of the then existing members of (or appointees to) the Sun-Times Board are removed in the Removal Proposal, and there are no vacancies to fill, none of the Nominees can be elected pursuant to the Election Proposal.

Compensation of Sun-Times Directors

If elected to the Sun-Times Board, the Nominees will not receive any form of compensation or indemnification from Davidson Kempner for their service as directors of Sun-Times. They will, however, receive whatever compensation for directors the Sun-Times Board has established unless and until the Sun-Times Board determines to change such compensation. The following discussion summarizes Sun-Times’ compensation of directors based solely on Sun-Times’ proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 16, 2008.

Under the terms of the Sun-Times’ compensation arrangements with directors, each non-management director receives an annual director retainer of $50,000 per annum and a fee of $3,000 for each board meeting attended. Committee chairs and committee members receive retainers and meeting attendance fees which vary among committees. The chair of the audit committee receives a $20,000 annual retainer, while audit committee members receive a $10,000 annual retainer and all audit committee members receive a fee of $3,000 per meeting attended. The chair of the compensation committee receives an annual retainer of $5,000, and all compensation committee members receive a fee of $3,000 per meeting attended. The chair of the nominating and governance committee receives an annual retainer of $5,000, and all nominating and governance committee members receive a fee of $3,000 per meeting attended. The chair of the special committee receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500, and all special committee members receive a fee of $5,000 per meeting attended. All members of the strategic alternatives committee, which was established by the Board in February 2008, receive a fee of $3,000 per meeting attended. Directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board.

One-half of the annual director’s retainer for 2007 was paid in the form of deferred stock units (“DSUs”) granted under Sun-Times’ 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. The remainder of the annual director’s retainer was payable in cash unless the non-management director elects to receive DSUs in lieu of such payment. Effective January 1, 2008, the Board of Directors approved changes to Sun-Times’ compensation arrangements with non-management directors to provide that all of the annual director’s retainer be paid in the form of DSUs. Each non-management director will also receive a grant of an additional 1,000 DSUs under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan each fiscal quarter. The DSUs will be issued in quarterly installments as of the last business day of each fiscal quarter, with the number of DSUs being issued with respect to annual director retainer payments as of each such date being determined by dividing the amount of the annual director retainer payable by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the last trading day of such fiscal quarter. Each DSU represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of Common Stock after the date the non-management director ceases to be a member of the Board. DSUs attract additional dividend equivalent DSUs if Sun-Times declares a cash or stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock.

The Board also maintains a stock ownership requirement for non-management Board members. Each non-management director is required to own shares of Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value equal to at least five times the amount of the annual director retainer. Non-management directors will have five years to satisfy this requirement and all DSUs granted to a non-management director will count towards the satisfaction of this requirement.

Arrangement between Davidson Kempner and the Nominees

Pursuant to an agreement with each of the Nominees (each, an “Indemnification Agreement”), Davidson Kempner has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Nominee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses to which such Nominee may become subject or which such Nominee may incur in connection with his being a nominee for election to the Sun-Times Board. Other than the Indemnification Agreement, there is no arrangement or understanding between any Nominee and any other person or persons, including Davidson Kempner, pursuant to which any Nominee was selected as a nominee for election to the Sun-Times Board.

Additional Information Concerning the Nominees

VOTING SECURITIES

According to Sun-Times’ public filings, the shares of Common Stock constitute the only class of outstanding voting securities of Sun-Times, and as of October 31, 2008 there were 82,312,709 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote, and only record holders of Common Stock are entitled to execute consents. Sun-Times’ stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

ON THE ENCLOSED WHITE CONSENT CARD

Revocation of Written Consents. An executed consent card may be revoked at any time by delivering a written consent revocation before the time that the action authorized by the executed consent becomes effective. Revocations may only be made by the record holder that granted such consent. A revocation may be in any written form validly signed by the record holder as long as it clearly states that the consent previously given is no longer effective. The delivery of a subsequently dated WHITE consent card that is properly executed will constitute a revocation of any earlier consent. The revocation may be delivered either to Davidson Kempner, in care of Innisfree, or to the principal executive offices of Sun-Times. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to Sun-Times, Davidson Kempner requests that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations of consents be mailed or delivered to Davidson Kempner, c/o Innisfree M&A Incorporated, 501 Madison Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, New York 10022, so that Davidson Kempner will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when sufficient unrevoked consents to the actions described in this Consent Statement have been received.

YOUR CONSENT IS IMPORTANT.

CONSENT PROCEDURES

Section 228 of the DGCL provides that, absent a contrary provision in a Delaware corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action that is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the corporation’s stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and such consents are properly delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Sun-Times’ Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not contain any such contrary provision.

The Sun-Times bylaws provide that the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Sun-Times Board is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to Sun-Times by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of Sun-Times having custody of the book in which the proceeding of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Davidson Kempner delivered its signed written consent to Sun-Times on [    ], 2008, and no prior action by the Board was required. Accordingly, the record date for the solicitation made hereby is [    ], 2008 (the “Record Date”).

For the Proposals to be effective, properly completed and unrevoked written consents must be delivered to Sun-Times within 60 days of the earliest dated written consent delivered to Sun-Times. Consequently, Davidson Kempner will need to deliver properly completed and unrevoked written consents to the Proposals from the holders of record of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date no later than [                    ], 2009. Nevertheless, we intend to set [                    ], 2008 as the goal for submission of written consents. Effectively, this means that you have until [                    ], 2009 to consent to the Proposals. WE URGE YOU TO ACT TODAY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR CONSENT WILL COUNT. Davidson Kempner reserves the right to submit to Sun-Times consents at any time within 60 days of the earliest dated written consent delivered to Sun-Times.

If the Proposals become effective as a result of this consent solicitation by less than unanimous written consent, prompt notice of the Proposals will be given under Section 228(e) of the DGCL to stockholders who have not executed written consents. All stockholders will be notified as promptly as possible by press release of the results of the solicitation.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Sun-Times’ stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Proposals or this Consent Statement.
