    FAIRFAX MEDIA LIMITEDINVESTOR DAY 2013

    SYDNEY, 6 June, 2013: Fairfax Media Limited [ASX:FXJ] is holding an Investor Day inSydney today. The event will be webcast (fxj.com.au to register) and the presentation packis lodged with the ASX. Chief Executive Officer, Greg Hywood, will make the followingintroductory comments:

    Good morning everyone and welcome to the Fairfax Media Investor Day.

    Its great to have so many of our investors with us here in Sydney today and many moreof you joining via webcast. Id also like to welcome the many analysts that cover Fairfax.

    We have a full program today. You will hear from senior management from our newlycreated Australian Publishing Media division, from Fairfax Radio, Stayz and Domain. Weare focused on delivering detail and transparency in relation to our activities.

    Throughout the day, we will be discussing what we are doing at Fairfax to lead the changein the media sector, to transform our business and deliver strong returns to shareholders.

    Were leading the change because Fairfax is a media company that fully understands thecomplexity of the issues that we are facing.

    Youve heard me say before that Fairfax will never be about using the profits of good

    businesses to cross-subsidise poor performing assets. We have been very clear that we willnot produce unprofitable newspapers and we stand by that.

    So what are we doing to make our business lean? A fundamental initiative is theconsolidation of our core publishing activities into our new Australian Publishing Mediadivision. The formation of APM allows us to reduce duplication through a more orderedgrouping of our businesses and activities, and to drive additional revenue by leveraging ourcore business news, business media, lifestyle and community media.

    We are becoming more agile by breaking out our digital businesses into freestanding unitsthat have the support, resources and most importantly the autonomy needed to deliver

    on their potential.

    Our presenters today will be talking in detail about the new structure, what it means for ouroperations, and how the structure empowers them to lead the change in the media sector.

    One important outcome of the restructure is that it will allow us to deliver an additional$60 million in savings by the end of September, this September, over and above the$251 million that we have previously set out.

    The savings will come from reducing duplication right across our business, but with anemphasis on minimising the impact on content and sales.

    We expect that the majority of the charges associated with implementing these changes willbe accommodated within our existing provision.

    On top of the $60 million, we have commenced a product review a step-by-step review ofwhat we produce, what we do ourselves and what we can do differently to deliver even

    more savings. This is a major exercise Fairfax publishes 431 publications and 337websites, we have 7 radio stations and almost 100 apps. We will provide an update on theprogress of this review with the full-year result in August

    websites.
