Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 27, 2009, AOL Holdings LLC (“AOL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Time Warner”), filed a registration statement on Form 10 (File No. 001-34419) (the “Form 10”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in connection with the planned legal and structural separation from Time Warner of AOL. Prior to the consummation of the proposed separation, AOL Holdings LLC will be converted into a Delaware corporation and renamed AOL Inc. Accordingly, the Form 10 has been filed under the name AOL Inc.

The Form 10 contains a preliminary information statement that includes detailed information about AOL as a standalone company, including, among other things, historical financial information for AOL and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation. The preliminary information statement also includes a description of AOL’s business and strategy, its management and their compensation, and other legal and financial disclosures, including risk factors. In addition, the preliminary information statement contains certain information relating to the mechanics of, and conditions to, a proposed spin-off of AOL. The preliminary information statement is incomplete and subject to change, and Time Warner reserves the right not to complete the separation of AOL.

The information included in this report, including the information in the Form 10 attached as Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01 in satisfaction of the public disclosure requirements of Regulation FD. This information is being “furnished” to the Commission and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results of AOL, the plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of Time Warner and AOL, and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of the management of Time Warner and AOL, and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances.

Time Warner cautions readers that any forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the statements herein, due to changes in economic, business, competitive, technological, strategic or other regulatory factors, as well as factors affecting the operations of the businesses of Time Warner and AOL. More detailed information about certain of these and other factors may be found in the preliminary information statement included in the Form 10 in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” as well as in filings by Time Warner with the Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K in the sections entitled “Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” Time Warner is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter the forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
