On May 14, 2009, the Board of Directors of A. H. Belo Corporation approved a change in the Company’s non-employee director compensation. The nominal value of the annual retainer package for non-employee directors has been reduced from $140,000 to $112,000. One-half of the annual retainer will be paid in cash and one-half of the retainer package will be divided between options to purchase A. H. Belo Series B common stock and time-based restricted stock units for A. H. Belo Series A common stock. Directors who serve as committee chairs will receive an additional $8,000 in cash compensation, reduced from $10,000. These changes represent an approximately 20% reduction in non-employee director compensation.
