LA Times Media Group, Inc is targeting a public listing after the completion of the private placement. As part of this process, the company has reserved the stock ticker "LAT"*.

If the Company does close its Public Offering, the Company intends to register the shares of common stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted prior to the Public Offering, such that those shares of common stock will become tradeable upon the Company's listing on a major stock exchange after the appropriate registrations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

If the Company consummates its Public Offering, then the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares purchased in this private offering will be determined based on a 25% discount to the value of the shares price offered in the Public Offering, directly benefitting investors who purchase Series A Convertible Preferred Shares in this private offering.

To purchase Preferred Shares in this private offering you must be an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Generally, the term "accredited investor" refers to any person or entity who satisfy the requirements set forth in Rule 501 and who the Company takes reasonable steps to verify comes within any of the following categories, at the time of the sale of the Preferred Shares to such investor. For example, the following requirements apply with respect to an individual investor:

(i) Any natural person whose individual net worth or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of purchase, exceeds USD $1,000,000 (including spouse’s net worth and fair market value of the person’s home furnishings and automobiles, but excluding from the calculation the value of the person’s primary residence and the related amount of any indebtedness on primary residence up to the fair market value of the primary residence (any indebtedness that exceeds the fair market value of the primary residence must be deducted from the person’s net worth); or

(ii) Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of USD $200,000 in each of the two (2) most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of USD $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income in the current year.

You may wish to visit the SEC website to learn more, and view the Accredited Investor Information provided therein. Listed below are three (3) ways for you to get verified as an accredited investor. Note that income verification is valid for 12 months from the date we confirm it, while net worth verification is only valid for 3 months from the date we confirm it. Unverified investors will not be permitted to participate in this private offering.

Three Ways to Get Verified as an Accredited Investor:
1. Please have your CPA, attorney, registered investment advisor or broker-dealer email us a letter on their letterhead, using this template (the pro-letter document which you will find when you fill out the subscription process online), attesting to your status as an accredited investor based upon their knowledge of your income or your net worth. This letter must be dated within the prior 60 days.
‍
2. You may instead send income verification documents (such as IRS Forms 1040 or W-2) for us to review that evidence your income for the prior two years. All such information is kept strictly confidential.
‍
3. You may instead send asset verification documents (such as bank or brokerage statements dated within the past 60 days), which we will review. If you use this method we will request a credit report from a national credit reporting agency to verify your debt, obtain a letter from you verifying that no debt exists other than what appears on the credit report, and calculate your estimated net worth to assist us in making a determination.

Investing in private companies is risky and there is no guarantee you will get a return on your investment or that you may be able to sell the Preferred Shares. However, an "exit" event could open up the opportunity where you could convert your shares into cash or more liquid assets. "Exits" include going public or getting acquired by another company or a financial investor. If the value of the Company grows, then could have a higher potential of making a profit on your investment in the Preferred Shares in connection with a potential exit event. No public market currently exists for the Preferred Shares (or the common shares into which the Preferred Shares may be converted).

Any investment in the Preferred Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risk factors information, together with the other information contained in the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum, before you decide to buy any Preferred Shares.

Preferred Shares that you purchase will be held in your name, in electronic form at the transfer agent for this private offering. No stock certificates will be sent to you, but you will receive a Welcome Letter directly from the Company’s transfer agent with information on how to access and manage your account within 30 days after the Company accepts your proposed investment in Preferred Shares.

Generally, a transfer agent maintains a record of ownership, including contact information, of an issuer’s registered stockholders.

The transfer agent for this private offering is Equity Stock Transfer. All investors will receive a Welcome Letter directly from Equity Stock Transfer with information on how to access and manage their accounts within 30 days after the Company accepts your proposed investment.

There is currently no public trading market for the Preferred Shares or the common shares into which the Preferred Shares may be converted, and there can be no assurance that any such public market will develop in the foreseeable future, if at all. This private offering relies upon exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws. Those exemptions require that the securities be purchased for investment purposes only, and not with a current view toward their distribution or resale. Unless the Preferred Shares, or the common shares into which the Preferred Shares may be converted, are subsequently registered or qualified with the SEC and any required state securities authorities, or appropriate exemptions from registration are available, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in the Company even if your financial condition makes such liquidation necessary. Accordingly, prospective investors who require liquidity in their investments should not invest in the Preferred Shares. An investment in the Preferred Shares should only be made by those who can afford the loss of their entire investment.

If the Company consummates the Public Offering, then we intend to apply to have certain of shares of our common stock listed on the NYSE under the symbol "LAT". However, the listing of our common stock on the NYSE is not a condition of our proceeding with this private offering, and no assurance can be given that our application to list will be approved or that an active trading market for our common stock will develop. If shares of our common stock are listed on NYSE, you will be able to deposit any shares you purchased with a broker. Until you deposit your shares in a brokerage account, the transfer agent will maintain the record of your ownership. Once you deposit your shares with a broker, the broker will maintain that record.*
