On March 4, 2010, the Compensation Committee (the Committee) approved amendments to the Companys two
pension transition benefit plans, the Belo Pension Transition Supplement Plan and the Belo Pension Transition
Supplement Restoration Plan, to permit the reinstatement of Company contributions under these plans in respect of
participants 2010 compensation. The amendments provide that pension transition supplement payments will resume in

Transition Supplement Restoration Plan as initially adopted is filed as Exhibit 99.5 to the Companys Form 8-K filed
December 11, 2007, and the first amendment to the Belo Pension Transition Supplement Restoration Plan suspending
payments under the Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Form 8-K filed May 14, 2009. The Second Amendment to
the Belo Pension Transition Supplement Restoration Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein by reference.
