Lee Enterprises, Incorporated ("Lee") is filing this Form 8-K/A to correct a filing error involving Exhibit 99.2 to Lee's Form 8-K,
filed on February 1, 2005.
Exhibit 99.2 was captioned as the Transcript of Lee's January 31, 2005 conference call and webcast held to discuss the Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger") dated as of January 29, 2005 among Pulitzer Inc., Lee and LP Acquisition Corp. However, Exhibit 99.2
inadvertently contained a series of questions with answers for Lee stockholders about the Merger (which was previously filed on Lee's
Form 8-K on January 31, 2005).
Exhibit 99.1 hereto is the Transcript of Lee's January 31, 2005 conference call and webcast, and is incorporated herein by
reference.
With the exception of the foregoing corrections, no other information in the Form 8-K filed on February 1, 2005 has been
supplemented, updated or amended.
The proposed transaction will be submitted to Pulitzer’s stockholders for their consideration, and Pulitzer will file with the SEC a proxy statement to be used to solicit the stockholders’ approval of the proposed transaction, as well as other relevant documents concerning the proposed transaction. STOCKHOLDERS OF PULITZER ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THOSE DOCUMENTS, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. A free copy of the proxy statement, as well as other filings containing information about Pulitzer, may be obtained at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of the proxy statement and the SEC filings that will be incorporated by reference in the proxy statement can also be obtained, without charge, by directing a request to James V. Maloney, Secretary, Pulitzer Inc., 900 North Tucker Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri 63101.
Pulitzer and its directors and executive officers and other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Pulitzer in connection with the proposed transaction. Information regarding Pulitzer’s directors and executive officers is available in Pulitzer’s proxy statement for its 2004 annual meeting of stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 2, 2004. Additional information regarding the interests of such potential participants will be included in the proxy statement and the other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available.
