On May 21, 2008, Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Time Warner”), issued a joint press

On May 21, 2008, beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET, Time Warner and TWC will host a conference call for

Agreement (the “Transactions”). There will be a live audio webcast of the call available via Time
Warner’s Web site at www.timewarner.com/investors. A copy of the presentation slides (the
“Presentation”), as well as reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures (the “Reconciliations”)
used in the Presentation, are attached as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively. The
information contained in the Presentation and the Reconciliations may also be used subsequently in
other settings, including, but not limited to conversations or meetings with investors and media,
and communications with employees, government authorities and other constituencies.
The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the press release, the
Presentation and the Reconciliations, attached as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3,
respectively, is provided to satisfy the public disclosure requirements of Regulation FD. This
information is being “furnished” to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed
“filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Securities Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it
be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act or the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a
filing.
Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. Such
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the
Transactions involving Time Warner and TWC and their subsidiaries, including future financial and
operating results, the plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of Time Warner and TWC, and
other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on the current
expectations and beliefs of the management of Time Warner and TWC, and are subject to uncertainty
and changes in circumstances.
Time Warner cautions readers that any forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future
performance and that actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the
statements herein, due to the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions, changes in
economic, business, competitive, technological, strategic or other regulatory factors, as well as
factors affecting the operation of the businesses of Time Warner and TWC. More detailed
information about certain of these and other factors may be found in filings by Time Warner with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the sections entitled “Caution Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements” and “Risk Factors.” In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause
actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the failure to
obtain governmental approvals; the failure to receive required tax rulings or tax opinions; and the
risk that the anticipated benefits from the Transactions may not be fully realized or may take
longer to realize than expected. Time Warner is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any
obligation to, update or alter the forward-looking statements contained in this document, whether
as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
