Dear Shareholder:
It has come to our attention that, due to a clerical error, we incorrectly reported in the Proxy Statement the number of shares of common stock of Meredith Corporation (the “Company”) outstanding as of the record date of September 11, 2008.
On the record date, there were issued and outstanding 36,015,155 shares of common stock, not 39,015,155 as set forth in the Proxy Statement. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting of the Company to be held on November 5, 2008. On the record date, there were also issued and outstanding 9,167,935 shares of class B common stock, each entitled to ten votes at the Annual Meeting of the Company, for a total of 127,694,505 eligible votes.
If you have already returned your proxy card and wish to change your vote because of this information, please follow the instructions for revoking your proxy as set forth on page 2 of the Proxy Statement.
Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote promptly so that your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting. We appreciate your continued support of the Company.
Sincerely,
JOHN S. ZIESER
Chief Development Officer
General Counsel and Secretary
