The New York Times Company (the "Company") registered plan interests in the Mechanical Unions Savings Trust 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"), which were offered to eligible employees of Globe Newspaper Company, a subsidiary of the Company. The Company also registered 156,350 shares of its Class A common stock (such number reflecting a two-for-one stock split which took effect subsequent to the effectiveness of the registration) in which such employee contributions could be invested pursuant to the Plan.
The Plan has been amended so as no longer to permit participants in the Plan to invest their contributions in the Company's Class A common stock. Accordingly, the Company hereby removes from registration all plan interests and Class A common stock not sold pursuant to the Plan.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on a Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in New York, New York, on this 23rd day of June, 2005.
