Item 8.01 Other Events.
Recast Financial Statements
Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Time Warner”), has recast its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, including the accompanying supplementary information and schedule, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 to reflect the retrospective adoption of amendments to accounting guidance pertaining to the accounting for transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities. These changes were previously reflected in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that was filed with the SEC on May 5, 2010 (the “March 2010 Form 10-Q”). The recast financial information has not been updated for other transactions or events; accordingly, the information should be read in conjunction with the March 2010 Form 10-Q.
Legal Proceedings
Reference is made to lawsuits filed by the heirs of Jerome Siegel described on page 27 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. On May 14, 2010, DC Comics filed a related lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joseph Shuster, the Siegel heirs, their attorney Marc Toberoff and certain companies that Mr. Toberoff controls. The complaint asserts claims for, inter alia, declaratory relief concerning the validity and scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs, the validity of various agreements between Mr. Toberoff, his companies and the Shuster and Siegel heirs, as well as claims for intentional interference by Mr. Toberoff with DC Comics’ contracts and prospective economic advantage with the Shuster and Siegel heirs.
