(the “DCL Plan Proponents”) filed the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization For Tribune Company and Its Subsidiaries (the “Third Amended DCL Plan”), together with a supplement to the previously-approved disclosures respecting the Second Amended DCL Plan (the “Supplemental Disclosure Document"), which describes the modifications reflected in the Third Amended DCL Plan that were made to address the issues identified in the Confirmation Opinion as preventing confirmation of the Plan.
