      “JS Acquisition, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“JS Acquisition”) whose equity securities are owned entirely by Mr. Jeffrey H. Smulyan, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Emmis Communications Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Emmis”) and JS Acquisition, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company that is wholly owned by Mr. Smulyan (“JS Parent”), is offering to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Emmis (the “Shares”).

The offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase dated June 2, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, this “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

As further described below, Shares held by Alden and the Retained Shares (as defined below) will be cashed out in the Merger (as defined below) for the Offer Price and all other Shares held by the Purchaser Group and the Rollover Shares will be contributed to Emmis and cancelled in the Merger.”
 
      Similarly, all other references in the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal, the Letter to Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees, the Letter to Clients for use by Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees and the Letter to Participants in the Emmis Operating Company 401(k) Plan to the Offer being made by JS Acquisition only for Shares other than the Rollover Shares or Shares beneficially owned by the Purchaser Group and Alden, are hereby deemed amended as set forth above, to clarify that the Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares.
 
  12.   The cover page of the Offer to Purchase is hereby also amended by inserting the following paragraph after the ninth paragraph thereof:
 
      “The factors considered by the Board and the Committee in making the determinations and recommendations described above are described in Emmis’ Schedule 14D-9, which has been filed with

Table of Contents

      the SEC and is being mailed to the shareholders of Emmis together with this Offer to Purchase. Shareholders of Emmis are urged to, and should, carefully read Emmis’ Schedule 14D-9.”
 
  13.   “Summary Term Sheet” (The Merger) of the Offer to Purchase, discussing the cash consideration payable in the Merger to holders of Existing Preferred Stock, is hereby amended by inserting the following at the end of the eighth bullet point thereof:
 
      “and is not comparable to the $30.00 principal amount of New Notes per $50.00 liquidation preference of Existing Preferred Stock (as described above)”.
 
  14.   “Summary Term Sheet” (Position of the Committee and the Board) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting “Shares, other than the Interested Party Shares” in its entirety from the first paragraph thereof and replacing the deleted text with “Shares held by unaffiliated holders of Shares.”
 
  15.   “Questions and Answers” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting the response to the question “Is your financial condition relevant to my decision to tender my Shares in the Offer?” in its entirety and restating it as follows:
 
      “We do not believe our financial condition is relevant to your decision to tender your Shares in this tender offer because:
    the Offer is being made for the Shares solely for cash;
 
    if we complete the Offer, we will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, cash out the remaining Shares in the subsequent Merger for cash consideration equal to the Offer Price;
 
    the Offer is not subject to any financing condition; and
 
    the Offer is for all outstanding Shares.
      Both JS Acquisition and JS Parent were formed for the purpose of completing the Offer and the Merger or similar prior potential going private transactions and have no significant assets or liabilities other than those incidental to the acquisition of Emmis. Therefore, JS Acquisition and JS Parent have no meaningful historical financial information. See “The Offer” (Section 10 — Source and Amount of Funds; Section 13 — Merger Agreement; Other Agreements — Alden Purchase Agreement).”
 
  16.   “Special Factors” (Section 1 — Background of the Offer; Past Contacts and Negotiations with Emmis) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by inserting the following after the penultimate sentence of the last paragraph on page 22:

The Board further authorized Emmis to pay each member of the Committee $2,000 per meeting attended in person or by telephone in accordance with Emmis’ Director Compensation Policy.”
 
  17.   “Special Factors” (Section 1 — Background of the Offer; Past Contacts and Negotiations with Emmis) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby also amended by inserting the following paragraph after the ninth paragraph thereof:
 
      “The structure of the Transactions (defined below) proposed to Alden had been developed by Mr. Smulyan, after consultation with his outside legal advisors, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, over time, including in connection with Mr. Smulyan’s previously-proposed going-private

      transactions with respect to Emmis. On April 19, 2010, Moelis prepared certain materials showing illustrative transaction scenarios, which materials are attached as Exhibit (c)(i) to Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule TO of Jeffrey H. Smulyan, JS Acquisition and JS Parent, filed with the SEC on June 23, 2010. The materials illustrated potential outcomes for the illustrative transaction scenarios across a broad range of future EBITDA and asset dispositions possibilities. Mr. Smulyan did not adopt any of the illustrative transaction scenarios because he did not believe the assumptions underlying the illustrative transaction scenarios were realistic and he was not willing to assume the risks contemplated in the scenarios. Instead, Mr. Smulyan, with the assistance of Moelis, utilized assumptions that were more realistic to develop his initial proposal with respect to the Transactions that was negotiated as described below and eventually publicized in the Letter of Intent.”
 
  18.   “Special Factors” (Section 1 — Background of the Offer; Past Contacts and Negotiations with Emmis) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby also amended by inserting the following paragraph after the last paragraph thereof:
 
      “On June 23, 2010, Alden, JS Parent and Mr. Smulyan entered into an Amendment and Consent Letter Agreement, with respect to, among other things, the extension of the Offer and certain other amendments and consents relating to the Alden Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Offer, the Operating Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Rollover Agreement. On that same day, JS Acquisition, JS Parent, Mr. Smulyan and Emmis filed an Amendment to their combined Statement on Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3. In addition, on June 23, 2010, JS Acquisition issued a press release announcing, among other things, the extension of the Offer and the removal of the condition to the Offer that Alden Media pay the purchase price pursuant to the Alden Purchase Agreement. See “The Offer” (Section 13 — Merger Agreement; Other Agreements). Also on that same day, Emmis filed an Amended and Restated Preliminary Proxy Statement/Offer to Exchange with the SEC with respect to the Exchange Offer and issued a press release regarding the filing.”
 
      The press release issued by JS Acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(xi). The Amended and Restated Proxy Statement/Offer to Exchange (which includes the Amendment and Consent Letter Agreement as Appendix 5 thereto) has been filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) to Amendment No. 1 to Emmis’ Statement on Schedule TO/13E-3, and the press release issued by Emmis on June 23, 2010 has been filed with the SEC under Exchange Act Rule 14a-12.
 
  19.   “Special Factors” (Section 3 — The Position of the Purchaser Group Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the Merger) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety the last sentence of the first paragraph thereof, and inserting the following after the first paragraph:
 
      “The Purchaser Group did not engage an independent financial advisor to advise on the fairness of the Offer or the Merger, or to appraise or calculate the value of the Shares or the Offer Price being paid in the Offer or the Merger.
 
      Moelis prepared certain materials showing illustrative transaction scenarios, which materials are summarized in “Special Factors” (Section 1 — Background of the Offer; Past Contacts and Negotiations with Emmis) of this Offer to Purchase. These materials will be made available for inspection and copying at the principal executive offices of JS Acquisition during its regular business hours by any interested Emmis shareholder or representative who has been so designated in writing.
 
      JS Acquisition retained Moelis based upon Moelis’ experience and knowledge. Moelis is an investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the proposed Transactions. Moelis, as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with business combinations and acquisitions and for other purposes.
 
      Moelis acted as financial advisor to JS Acquisition in connection with the Transactions and JS Acquisition has agreed to pay Moelis for its services an aggregate fee of $3,500,000 in connection with the Transactions. JS Acquisition has agreed to reimburse Moelis for its expenses, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, and to indemnify Moelis and certain related parties against certain liabilities that may arise out of the rendering of its services, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. Moelis’ engagement letter with JS Acquisition contemplates that Moelis will have the right of first refusal to be retained by JS Acquisition in the event that JS Acquisition pursues certain other corporate finance transactions.”
 
  20.   “Special Factors” (Section 3 — The Position of the Purchaser Group Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the Merger) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby also amended by deleting in its entirety the last bullet point of the Purchaser Group’s reasons for believing that the Offer and the Merger are financially fair to Emmis shareholders who participate in the Offer or determine to remain as shareholders of Emmis and restating it as follows:
    “There are no unusual requirements or conditions to the Offer and there is no financing condition. See “The Offer” (Section 10 — Source and Amount of Funds; Section 13 — Merger Agreement; Other Agreements). Accordingly, the Offer can be completed by JS Acquisition expeditiously to the benefit of unaffiliated holders of Shares tendering their Shares.”
  21.   “Special Factors” (Section 4 — Position of the Board and the Committee) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting the second paragraph thereof in its entirety and replacing the deleted text with the following:
 
      “In making its recommendation, the Board expressly adopted the recommendation of the Committee and the analyses and discussion of the Committee with respect to the fairness of the Offer and the Merger to unaffiliated holders of Shares, as summarized in Item 4 “The Solicitation or Recommendation – Background and Reasons for the Recommendation of the Board” of Emmis’ Schedule 14D-9. Morgan Stanley’s opinion was rendered solely for the benefit of the Committee and Morgan Stanley did not make a presentation or deliver any materials for discussion to the Board. The Board did not adopt Morgan Stanley’s opinion or the related analyses in making its fairness

      determination. However, the Board took into account, in concluding that the Offer Price is fair from a financial point of view, among other considerations, the fact that the Committee received from Morgan Stanley a fairness opinion dated May 25, 2010 to the effect that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, considerations, limitations and qualifications set forth in the written opinion, the Offer Price to be received by the holders of Shares (other than the Purchaser Group, Alden and the Rolling Shareholders) pursuant to the Offer and the Merger was fair from a financial point of view to such holders.”

  28.   “The Offer” (Section 8 — Certain Information Concerning Jeffrey H. Smulyan, JS Acquisition and JS Parent) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby also amended by deleting the sixth paragraph thereof in its entirety and restating it as follows:
 
      “We do not believe our financial condition is relevant to your decision whether to tender your Shares and accept the Offer because:
    the Offer is being made for the Shares solely for cash;

    the Offer is for all outstanding Shares.
      JS Acquisition was formed for the purpose of engaging in a going private transaction with Emmis and has carried on no other activities other than in connection with the Offer, the Merger and prior potential going private transactions, so it has no significant assets or operations.
