Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 4, 2008, Time Warner Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which became effective upon filing. The Company included a proposal in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement dated March 31, 2008 seeking stockholder approval to amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to replace the remaining super-majority vote requirements with a majority vote standard. The Company’s proposal was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 16, 2008.

The Certificate of Amendment amended Article VIII of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the 80% vote requirement for stockholders to amend provisions in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation that provide for (i) the limitation of directors’ liability and (ii) the Company’s ability to redeem shares when a redemption is necessary to prevent the loss or secure the reinstatement of any license or franchise of the Company or its subsidiaries from a government agency. The amendment also eliminated the 80% vote requirement for stockholders to amend, alter or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with the vote requirement. The super-majority vote standard was replaced by a majority vote standard that requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority or more of the combined voting power of all classes and series of capital stock entitled generally to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, to amend, alter or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, Article VIII, Article IX or Section 5 of Article IV of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

A copy of the Certificate of Amendment as filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
