Time Warner Statement on Agreement with Icahn Partners

February 17, 2006, NEW YORK – Time Warner Inc. (NYSE: TWX) today issued the following statement from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dick Parsons on the company’s agreement with Icahn Partners, under which Icahn Partners will not contest the company’s slate of directors at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Mr. Parsons said: “We are very pleased to have reached an understanding with Mr. Icahn. We appreciate his role as a significant shareholder as well as his constructive suggestions. As we’ve said, our board and management are committed to building value for all of our shareholders.”

In connection with the agreement, Time Warner said it will undertake the following:

1. The company will increase its existing share repurchase program and extend the program’s ending date. Under the expanded program, management will be authorized to repurchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of the corporation’s common stock during the period from July 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. At existing price levels, the company intends to continue the current pace of purchases under its share repurchase program within its stated objective of maintaining a net debt-to-OIBDA ratio of around 3-to-1, and expects it will purchase approximately $15 billion of its common stock by the end of 2006, and the remainder in 2007.

2. The Nominating and Governance Committee will recommend the election or appointment of two new independent directors to the board. The company will seek the advice and recommendations of its major shareholders, including Icahn Partners, in this process. This will be accomplished by no later than July 31, 2006.

3. Time Warner has begun a comprehensive review of costs at each of its operating divisions and at its corporate parent with the objective of better aligning its costs with the long term needs of the business. This resulted in at least $500 million of cost reductions that are reflected in its current operating plan for 2006. The company will intensify these efforts with the objective of achieving commensurate reductions against planned expenses in 2007, for a total reduction of $1 billion over the period. These initiatives should improve the company’s operating margins and increase both free cash flow and earnings per share.

4. The company will continue to review the Lazard Report and will continue its dialogue with Icahn Partners regarding the recommendations in the report. Management’s view continues to be that a different capital and corporate structure may be appropriate for Time Warner Cable in the future so long as it provides strategic flexibility with the company’s content businesses.
