Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 21, 2010, the stockholders of Time Warner Inc. (the Company) approved the Time Warner Inc.
2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2010 Plan) at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 2010
Annual Meeting). The Companys Board of Directors had approved the 2010 Plan on March 25, 2010,
subject to stockholder approval. The 2010 Plan includes an authorization to issue up to 70 million
shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), pursuant to
awards under the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan provides for the issuance of various types of
stock-based awards to the Companys directors, employees and advisors in the United States and
foreign jurisdictions. As of the date hereof, there have been no awards under the 2010 Plan and,
therefore, no amounts are payable under the 2010 Plan to the principal executive officer, principal
financial officer or any named executive officer.
A description of the 2010 Plan is set forth in the Companys Definitive Proxy Statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2010 (the 2010 Proxy Statement) under the
caption Company Proposals Proposal Three: Approval of the Time Warner Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive
Plan Description of the 2010 Plan. The description of the 2010 Plan is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the 2010 Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and which also was included as Annex A to the 2010 Proxy Statement.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
At the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Companys stockholders approved an amendment to the By-laws of the
Company to change the percentage of the Companys outstanding shares of Common Stock required to
request that the Board of Directors call a special meeting of stockholders from 25% to 15%. The
amendment to the By-laws is described in the 2010 Proxy Statement under the caption Company
Proposals Proposal Four: Approval of an Amendment to the Companys By-laws to Provide that
Holders of at Least 15% of the Combined Voting Power of the Companys Outstanding Capital Stock May
Request a Special Meeting of Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference. The
amendment to the By-laws became effective on May 21, 2010. The By-laws, as amended, are filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
