DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS;
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS
On April 10, 2006, Henry R. Kravis notified PRIMEDIA Inc. (the "Company") that he did not intend to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors (the "Board") at its 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("Annual Meeting"). Mr. Kravis has served as director of the Company since November 1991. Mr. Kravis's decision not to stand for re-election to the Board did not involve any disagreements with the Company. The text of Mr. Kravis's letter to the Chairman of the Board is as follows: "This letter is to formally announce that I will not be standing for reelection as a director of Primedia this year. My travel schedule has increased dramatically over the past several years and, at this point, I do not have adequate time to devote to board directorships." Mr. Kravis will continue to serve on the Board through the Annual Meeting when his term will expire.
