Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

PRIMEDIA Inc. (the “Company”) stated in its second quarter earnings release dated August 3, 2006 that it expected to file its Form 10 related to a possible spin-off with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the third calendar quarter. It is now anticipated by the Company that the Form 10 will be filed by the end of 2006. The change in the anticipated filing date is due to the ongoing work related to the allocation of tax net operating losses between the Company and the entity which may be spun-off and the financial statement presentation in the Form 10 resulting from the allocation of those net operating losses.

 

Although the Company anticipates making the Form 10 filing, there has been no final decision on whether to complete the spin-off and there can be no assurances the spin-off will occur.
