On June 24, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PRIMEDIA Inc. (the “Company”) met and discussed the attached ruling of the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Supreme Court”) which reversed and remanded a decision by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissing, with prejudice, the operative complaint in a shareholder derivative action captioned In re Primedia Inc. Derivative Litigation, C.A. No. 1808-N. At the meeting, the members of a Special Litigation Committee of the Board, both of whom are not named as defendants in the derivative action, informed the Board that with the assistance of their counsel, they had reviewed and considered the ruling by the Delaware Supreme Court and determined that the ruling did not alter the conclusion previously reached in their report that it was not in the best interests of the Company to pursue the claims asserted in the derivative action. The Board further determined that the ruling by the Delaware Supreme Court did not alter the Board’s previously reached conclusion that the claims asserted in the derivative action had limited, if any, value to the Company. For a description of the derivative action, see “Litigation Related to the Pending Shareholder Derivative Action” beginning on page 48 of the Information Statement filed on June 20, 2011 by the Company.
