This annual report includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections
regarding future events or future results, and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms

or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this annual report and include
statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, expenditures, costs and the industry in which we operate.
These statements reflect managements current beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and

statements, including, without limitation, those listed in the Risk Factors section of the MD&A, attached hereto as Exhibit 15.2. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report. Such risks include, but are not limited
to: competition from other newspapers and alternative forms of media; the Corporations ability to compete successfully in newspaper and online industries; the influence of prevailing economic conditions and the prospects of the
Corporations advertising customers on advertising revenue; the failure to fulfill the Corporations strategy of building its digital media and online businesses; failure to maintain print and online newspaper readership and circulation

internal controls; change of laws; the substantial indebtedness of the Corporation and the possibility that it may be able to incur substantially more debt which could adversely affect its financial condition; the terms of the ABL Facility, and the
indentures that govern the First-Lien Notes and Second-Lien Notes, may restrict the Corporations current and future operations; interest rate risks; the possibility that the Corporation will not be able to generate sufficient cash to service
all of its indebtedness; the possibility that an active public market for the Shares will not develop; volatility of the market price for Shares; dual class share structure; Postmedia Network Canada Corp. having a holding company structure; risks
relating to the future sales of Shares by directors and officers and risks relating to dilution. See the section entitled Risk Factors in the Corporations MD&A dated October 25, 2012, attached hereto as Exhibit 15.2 and
which is posted on SEDAR, EDGAR and the Corporations website at www.postmedia.com, for a complete description of risks relating to an investment in the Corporation. These risk factors are incorporated in this annual report by reference. By
their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Those factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with
the other cautionary statements in this annual report.

##### Table of Contents

These risk factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue
reliance on the forward-looking statements. Although the Corporation bases its forward-looking statements on assumptions that it believes were reasonable when made, which assumptions include, but are not limited to, the Corporations future
growth potential, results of operations, future prospects and opportunities, execution of the Corporations business strategy, a stable workforce, no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environments, future levels of
indebtedness and the ability to achieve future cost savings, the Corporation cautions the reader that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that the Corporations actual results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which the Corporation operates, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report. In addition, even if the
Corporations results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which it operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report, those results or developments
may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Any forward-looking statements which are made in this
annual report speak only as of the date of such statement, and the Corporation does not undertake, and specifically declines, except as required by applicable law, any obligation to update such statements or to publicly announce the results of any
revisions to any such statements to reflect future events or developments. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and
should only be viewed as historical data. All of the forward-looking statements made in this annual report are qualified by these cautionary statements.

Statements as to the Corporations market position and ranking are based in part
on market data currently available to it and managements estimates and assumptions that have been made regarding the size of its markets within its industry. The Corporation believes data regarding the size of the markets and market share are

uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the section entitled Risk Factors in the Corporations MD&A dated October 25, 2012, attached hereto as Exhibit 15.2. The

NOTICE REGARDING PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial statements included in this annual report are
presented in Canadian dollars. In this annual report, references to $ and dollars are to Canadian dollars and references to US$ and US dollars are to United States dollars. See Item 3.A Selected
Financial Data  Currency and Exchange Rates.

The Corporation is a holding company that has a 100% interest in its
subsidiary Postmedia Network Inc. The Corporation was incorporated on April 26, 2010 to purchase indirectly, the assets and certain liabilities of Canwest Limited Partnership, or Canwest LP, on July 13, 2010, which we
refer to as the Acquisition. Concurrent with such Acquisition, Postmedia Network Canada Corp. issued 27 million shares for gross proceeds of $250 million. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, which we will refer to as
the Asset Purchase Agreement, in connection with the implementation of the Plan under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), which we refer to as the CCAA, relating to the LP Entities and
certain of their affiliates, Postmedia Network Inc. purchased substantially all of the assets, including all of the outstanding shares of National Post Inc., and assumed certain liabilities of Canwest LP for $927.8 million payable in cash and the
issuance of 13 million shares of the Corporation.

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial statement data in this
annual report in respect of periods commencing on or after September 1, 2010 has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. For the periods prior to September 1, 2010, financial statement data has been prepared in accordance with
Canadian GAAP and therefore may not be comparable. In 2010, the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants was revised to incorporate IFRS, and require publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for
fiscal years (and comparative prior year periods) beginning on or after January 1, 2011, which for Postmedia Network Canada Corp. is Fiscal 2012, which began on September 1, 2011. Accordingly, Postmedia Network Canada Corp.s audited
consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 included in this annual report, attached hereto as Exhibit 15.1 and the selected financial data included in this annual report for Postmedia Network Canada Corp. as
at and for the year ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 are prepared in accordance with IFRS. For a discussion of Postmedia Network Canada Corp.s transition to IFRS, see note 25 in our audited consolidated financial statements for the years
ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, attached hereto as Exhibit 15.1.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

A. Selected Financial Data.

Set forth below is selected financial data of the Corporation and Canwest LP, at the dates and for the periods indicated.

The selected financial data, presented in accordance with IFRS, as of and for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 have been derived from Postmedias audited consolidated financial
statements for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, attached hereto as Exhibit 15.1, which have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent auditors, and were prepared in accordance with IFRS. The audited consolidated
financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 describe the effects of the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS as at September 1, 2010 and for the year ended August 31, 2011 as well as the effects of the
presentation of the Disposed Properties as discontinued operations for the year ended August 31, 2011.

The selected
financial data, presented in accordance with Canadian GAAP, as of August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010, and for the year ended August 31, 2011 and the period from July 13, 2010 to August 31, 2010 have been derived from
Postmedias audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2011 and the period ended August 31, 2010, which have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent auditors, and were prepared in
accordance with Canadian GAAP.

The selected financial data, presented in accordance with Canadian GAAP, as of and for the
years ended August 31, 2008, August 31, 2009 and for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and the period from June 1, 2010 to July 12, 2010 have been derived from Canwest LPs audited financial statements for the
periods ended May 31, 2010 and July 12, 2010 and the years ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008. Canwest LPs financial data has been reclassified where possible to be consistent with Postmedias revenue,
expense and segment presentation, excluding the presentation of the Disposed Properties as discontinued operations. Canwest LPs audited financial statements for the periods ended May 31, 2010 and July 12, 2010 and
years ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, its independent auditors, and were prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.

Canwest LP adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of May 31, 2010 and as a result, did not present a statement of earnings
or statement of cash flows subsequent to May 31, 2010 or a balance sheet as at May 31, 2010 or subsequent thereto.

The selected financial data should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified by reference to, Items 4 and 5 of this annual report on
Form 20-F. The audited consolidated financial statements, attached hereto as Exhibit 15.1, and related notes of Postmedia for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 and the historical financial statements of Canwest LP are not comparable
following the Acquisition due to the effect of the Plan and do not represent and are not purported to represent the results that would have been achieved had Postmedia owned the assets of Canwest LP and shares of National Post Inc. at that
time.

Financial information based on IFRS is not comparable to financial information prepared in accordance with Canadian
GAAP. In addition, IFRS and Canadian GAAP differ from U.S. GAAP in several respects. For a discussion of the principal differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, see note 26 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended
August 31, 2012 and 2011, attached hereto as Exhibit 15.1. For a discussion of the principal differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP please see note 20 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31,
2011, filed previously with the SEC as Exhibit 15.1 to our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended August 31, 2011.

##### Table of Contents

Notes:



|(1) | The financial data of Postmedia prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP as at and for the year ended August 31, 2011 and the period ended
August 31, 2010 and the financial data of Canwest LP are not comparable to the financial data of Postmedia as at and for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Additionally, the results of Postmedia prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP as at and for the year ended August 31, 2011 and the period ended August 31, 2010 and the results of Canwest LP for the periods ending
May 31, 2010 and July 12, 2010 and the years ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 have not been restated to reflect the presentation of the Disposed Properties as discontinued operations.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Depreciation expense reflects depreciation of property and equipment. Amortization expense reflects amortization of definite life intangible assets. Postmedia presents
software as an intangible asset on the statement of financial position and the related amortization as amortization in the statement of operations. Canwest LP presented software as property and equipment on the statement of financial position
and the related amortization as depreciation in the statement of operations.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Restructuring and other items expense primarily reflects employee termination costs related to various initiatives undertaken by Canwest LP and PNCC with the
objective of permanently reducing or eliminating costs. Also included in this line item for the years ending August 31, 2011 and 2012 are curtailment gains relating to employee benefit plans a result of the termination of employees under the
restructuring initiatives. The restructuring initiatives resulted in the elimination, for a significant number of employees, of the right to earn defined benefits and as a result curtailments occurred.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | During the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2012, Postmedia recorded a loss on debt repayment related to the First Amendment and termination of the Term Loan
Facility, respectively.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) | Under IFRS, Postmedia elected an accounting policy of recognizing the components of the defined benefit expense for its employee benefit plans within different line
items in the statement of operations. Under Canadian GAAP, the components of the defined benefit expense for employee benefit plans were aggregated and presented as a net amount in expenses in the statement of operations. Comparative periods prior
to September 1, 2010 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) | Other income recognized by Canwest LP represents a charge to the Canwest group of companies under the shared services agreement for the use of equipment that was
owned by Canwest LP.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(7) | During Fiscal 2008, Canwest LP divested an investment in Edmonton Investors Group Holdings Ltd and recorded a gain of $1.2 million.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(8) | On May 29, 2009, as a result of a payment default by Canwest LP, the hedging agreements in place were terminated resulting in the termination of hedging
derivative instruments. In the year ended August 31, 2009, Canwest LP recorded an interest rate and foreign currency swap loss of $180.2 million, reclassified $60.1 million of accumulated other comprehensive losses to the
income statement as a result of hedge ineffectiveness and recorded a foreign currency exchange gain on the related long-term debt of $152.1 million.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(9) | (Gain) loss on derivative financial instruments reflects Postmedias accounting treatment for a foreign currency interest rate swap that was not designated as a
hedge, variable prepayment options on Postmedias First-Lien Notes and Second-Lien Notes that represent embedded derivatives that are accounted for separately at fair value, and the settlement of foreign currency interest rate swaps designated
as hedges that were settled during the year ended August 31, 2012.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(10) | During Fiscal 2009, due to a decline in operating results, and lower expectations for revenue growth, Canwest LP recorded an impairment charge on intangible assets of
$28.3 million related to the masthead of the National Post.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(11) | Foreign currency exchange gains and losses were nominal for Fiscal 2008 due to hedging agreements that were put in place by Canwest LP. For the nine months ended
May 31, 2010 and the period ended July 12, 2010, Canwest LP did not enter into any derivatives to hedge foreign currency risk. Postmedia has entered into derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risk on the
majority of its US dollar denominated debt; however, Postmedia did not designate all of these derivative financial instruments as hedges and as a result does not use hedge accounting for financial reporting purposes on the entire amounts outstanding
under the Second-Lien Notes or Term Loan Facility resulting in foreign currency exchange gains and losses.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(12) | Acquisition costs relate to advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees incurred in connection with the Acquisition of Canwest LP which are
non-recurring. These costs were expensed as they were not directly related to either the issuance of debt or equity.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(13) | Reorganization costs represent costs that can be directly associated with the reorganization and CCAA filing of Canwest LP. These costs consist of professional fees,
advisory fees, management incentive plan and key employee retention plan costs, and foreign currency exchange losses resulting from translating monetary items that are subject to compromise at the period end compared to the translated amounts at
January 8, 2010, the date of the CCAA filing, and amounts related to resolution of legal claims outstanding on the date of Canwest LPs CCAA filing.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(14) | Canwest LP was not a taxable entity, so the income tax recoveries for the years ended August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2009 as well as the nine
months ended May 31, 2010 represent income taxes recoverable by its corporate subsidiaries. Postmedia has not recorded current or deferred tax expense as any current taxes recoverable result in an increase in our tax loss carryforward
balances. The cumulative carryforward balances have not been recognized as a deferred tax asset on the statement of financial position in accordance with IFRS and Canadian GAAP.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(15) | Canwest LP adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of May 31, 2010 and, as a result, a consolidated balance sheet was not presented. As
Canwest LP was under the liquidation basis of accounting for the period from June 1, 2010 to July 12, 2010, the supplementary financial information in note 5 of the annual audited financial statements of Canwest LP did
not include a provision for income taxes. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting a balance sheet as at July 12, 2010 and a cash flow statement for the period from June 1, 2010 to July 12, 2010 was not
prepared for Canwest LP, and as a result balance sheet information as at May 31, 2010 and July 12, 2010 has not been presented in the above table.

Development of the Corporation  Acquisition below.

##### Table of Contents

Acquisition

Canwest LP was formed on September 7, 2005 under the laws of the Province of Ontario to acquire the newspaper and related online, digital, and mobile assets of CanWest MediaWorks Inc. for purposes of
facilitating an income fund spinoff whereby approximately 25.8% of Canwest LPs business was offered to the public. On May 5, 2007, Canwest LP was privatized pursuant to a privatization agreement and Canwest LPs business was once
again indirectly, but wholly, owned by Canwest Global, a parent company that also wholly owned, among other entities, CPI, CBI and CCI.

CPI, CBI, and CCI sought, and on January 8, 2010 obtained, protection under the CCAA granting protection from creditors. Although not itself an applicant, the protections provided by the CCAA were
extended to Canwest LP. National Post Inc. was excluded from the CCAA protection.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement
that was entered into in connection with the implementation of the plan of arrangement and compromise under the CCAA relating to the LP Entities (the Plan), Postmedia Network Inc. purchased substantially all of the assets,
including the shares of National Post Inc., and assumed certain liabilities of Canwest LP (the Acquisition) for $1.05 billion (the Acquisition Consideration). The Acquisition Consideration consisted of cash
consideration of $927.8 million and non-cash consideration, through the issuance of equity having a value of $120.1 million. To satisfy the cash portion of the purchase price and to fund certain transaction costs under the Asset Purchase Agreement
and the Plan, Postmedia raised an aggregate of $954.4 million of financing, consisting of the Term Loan Facility, Second-Lien Notes and the Funding Commitment (as defined below). See Item 10. C Material Contracts  Term Loan Facility and
Item 10. C Material Contracts  Second-Lien Notes Indenture.

Pursuant to an amended funding commitment letter
received by the Corporation and Postmedia Network Inc. (the Funding Commitment) and a subscription agreement dated July 2, 2010 (the Subscription Agreement), on the acquisition date of July 13, 2010,
members of the Ad Hoc Committee or their assignees purchased 27 million Shares of Postmedia Network Canada Corp. for an aggregate of $250 million. The proceeds from the sale of the Shares to the members of the Ad Hoc Committee or their
assignees pursuant to the Funding Commitment and the Subscription Agreement were contributed by Postmedia Network Canada Corp. to Postmedia Network Inc. as a capital contribution and Postmedia Network Inc. used such capital contribution as part of
the consideration for the Acquisition. The Acquisition closed, and the Plan was implemented, on July 13, 2010 and, at such time, title to and in all of the assets were transferred to Postmedia Network Inc., free and clear of encumbrances (other
than certain permitted encumbrances) pursuant to a vesting order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) issued on June 18, 2010 and an assignment and assumption agreement dated as of July 13, 2010 between certain of the
LP Entities and Postmedia Network Inc.

Significant Post-Acquisition Events

On January 31, 2011, National Post Inc. was dissolved and its assets and liabilities were transferred to Postmedia Network Inc.

On June 7, 2011, the Corporation filed the Prospectus in all provinces of Canada other than Quebec. On June 14,
2011, the Corporations Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares were listed and began trading on the TSX under the symbols PNC.A and PNC.B, respectively.

On October 18, 2011, the Corporation entered into an asset purchase agreement with affiliates of Glacier Media Inc. (the
Transaction) to sell substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Lower Mainland Publishing Group, the Victoria Times Colonist and the Vancouver Island Newspaper Group, collectively herein referred to as the
Disposed Properties, for a purchase price of $86.5 million. On November 30, 2011, the Corporation completed the Transaction and recorded a gain on the sale of the Disposed Properties of $17.1 million. In
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Facility, on November 30, 2011, the proceeds from the sale of the Disposed Properties were used to make a principal payment of US$84.6 million ($86.5 million) on the Term
Loan Facility. Additional information on the Transaction is available in note 4 of the Corporations audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011.

On June 26, 2012, the Corporation entered into an agreement of purchase and sale
with The Rose & Thistle Group Ltd. for the sale of the Toronto Head Office at a purchase price of $24 million. The sale closed October 12, 2012. The purchase and sale agreement includes a leaseback of the property to
Postmedia Network Inc. for a period of 18 to 24 months while new accommodations are readied for relocation. On August 17, 2012, Postmedia announced that it had entered into a 15-year lease commencing December 1, 2013 for its new
head office located at 365 Bloor Street East in downtown Toronto, Ontario. The net proceeds from the sale of the Toronto Head Office were used on November 13, 2012 for a mandatory redemption of $23.2 million aggregate principal amount
of First-Lien Notes at par in accordance with the terms and conditions of the First-Lien Notes indenture.

On
August 16, 2012, the Corporation issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of First-Lien Notes, the proceeds of which were used to repay the Term Loan Facility in its entirety. In conjunction with the issuance of the First-Lien
Notes and the repayment of the Term Loan Facility, the Corporation settled the foreign currency interest rate swaps related to the Term Loan Facility. See Item 10.C Material Contracts.

Intercompany Reorganizations

In 2009, the Canwest Group and the LP
Entities determined to undergo discrete and parallel restructurings to separate their businesses, with a view to enabling the Canwest Group and the LP Entities to operate independently of one another as restructured enterprises. The process of
disentangling certain shared services commenced in October 2009 through an internal corporate reorganization that was agreed to by the Canwest Group and the LP Entities pursuant to the terms of a transition and reorganization agreement dated
October 26, 2009 and related agreements.

In connection with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Canwest
Group and the LP Entities determined that additional steps were necessary to complete the disentanglement of their respective businesses. These steps were set out in an omnibus transition and reorganization agreement (the OTRA),
dated June 8, 2010, which was approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) in connection with the Plan. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the OTRA was assigned to Postmedia Network Inc.

Through the Corporations proprietary content, as well as technology partners and third
party content providers, the Postmedia digital network provides a number of personalized online tools, including internet search and other services. The Postmedia digital network currently provides up-to-date international, national and local news
coverage sourced from the Corporations newspapers and third-party newswire services.

Newspaper Websites and e-Papers

As part of its effort to grow its digital media and online business, Postmedias newspapers newsrooms produce
todays news today in multiple formats specifically tailored for the applicable platform.

Through their
expertise in exporting electronic press pages intended for print editions to web-friendly formats, the daily newspapers publish page-by-page e-Papers (formerly referred to as digital editions), complete with stories, columns, photos and advertising.
The e-Papers are available without charge to print subscribers and as digital-only paid subscriptions. Readers of the e-Papers are able to view page layouts, photos and advertisements exactly as they appear in the print edition of the newspaper. The
experience is enhanced by a variety of digital features and tools, including search, aimed to ease navigation and add value.

Headlines, breaking news, analysis, commentary and selected stories from the daily newspaper editions are available to the public on the
newspapers websites and on mobile devices. The Corporations newspapers websites also serve as customer relationship tools, promoting subscriptions to the print editions, allowing for the purchase or renewal of newspaper
subscriptions, permitting notification of vacation stops and reactivations, and processing of billing inquiries.

Postmedia
newspaper website audiences have continued to grow, having expanded from approximately 2.3 million average monthly unique visitors in Fiscal 2008 to more than 5.3 million average monthly unique visitors in Fiscal 2012, according to
comScore. Postmedias newspaper websites ranked number one for average monthly unique visitors in the newspaper category based on the year ended August 31, 2012 in Canada, also according to comScore, and these sites reach 32% of all
Canadians who visit newspaper websites.

Infomart

Infomart is an electronic resource for Canadian news and business information and a one-stop resource for media monitoring, business intelligence and financial and corporate data. The service offers
online media monitoring covering print, broadcast television and radio, social media, and newswires in a single integrated platform. Print sources include all of the Corporations publications plus other Canadian and international sources such
as third party newspapers.

Infomart is a subscription-based business-to-business service that provides a wide range of
products to support cross-organizational research, media-monitoring, reputation/issue management and business intelligence. As of August 31, 2012, Infomart had approximately 1,000 subscribers.

In addition to subscriptions, Infomart also generates revenue through an electronic licensing and rights management service of the
Corporations news content, corporate data and third-party content via domestic and international third-party channels used by businesses across North America.

Mobile Applications

The Corporation has also developed its mobile network,
which includes mobile optimized websites and mobile applications across various smartphone platforms such as iOS, Android and Blackberry. The Corporations mobile network had over 3.7 million average monthly unique visitors during the year
ended August 31, 2012, according to Omniture Site Catalyst and Google Analytics.

Third-party and other websites

The Corporation sells online advertising and advertising production and placement services on third-party branded websites. These
agreements extend the reach of the Postmedia digital network and increase the Corporations advertising sales opportunities.

Other
digital media agreements

The Corporation is party to various agreements under which it licenses content from third parties
for its websites, including text, photos, videos, databases and interactive applications. The licensed content covers a broad range of topics, including sports, entertainment, automotive, recreation and travel from a variety of well-known content
providers.

Operations

Editorial

Editorial
content is generated across the Corporations websites and publications and Postmedias infrastructure allows for sharing of its generated content among sites in an efficient and cost effective manner. Editorial policy is developed for
each of the Corporations newspapers by an editorial board led by the newspapers editor-in-chief and publisher. Each editorial group ensures that each newspaper is responsive to national and local issues and meets the editorial needs of
its readers. The Corporations newspapers focus on readers of various ages and demographics and aim to reflect the values and interests of their respective markets. Each of the Corporations newspapers has its own editorial staff that is
responsible for producing local editorial content of the newspaper, supplemented by certain content which comes from PES, other wire services and freelancers.

The Corporation owns or has the rights to use the editorial content that is produced by its employees and freelancers, which allows for sharing of information and editorial content among its various
publications. Further, since the Corporations newspapers operate across a broad geographic spectrum, reporters familiar with local issues can be assigned to cover events in a particular region. Management believes that sharing of editorial
content and expertise allows the Corporation to achieve substantial operating efficiencies compared to other publishers which own a smaller number of publications.

The Corporation also provides various centralized editorial services, including PES, the Corporations editorial services division, to its newspapers and third parties. PES provides centralized
pagination services and standardized editorial content packages to all of the Corporations newspapers and external newspaper clients, reducing editorial content costs across Postmedias Newspaper operations. In addition, during the fourth
quarter of Fiscal 2012, the Corporation centralized editorial production services through PES. External clients rely on PESs pagination products for sports and business updates, television listings, comics and puzzles, and paginated features
content. PES supports the Corporations newspapers and during Fiscal 2012, had four external newspaper clients in Canada and between 19 and 81 external newspaper clients in the United States, due to the seasonal fluctuations associated
with professional sports seasons.

The Corporation offers advertisers extensive audience reach through a combination of circulation and
readership of its newspapers, e-Papers, unique visitors to its websites and various mobile products.

Each of the
Corporations newspapers has a dedicated sales force and uses a centralized classified call centre to generate local sales. The centralized classified call centre is located in Calgary. The remainder of the Corporations advertising sales
are generated from national and multi-market retail accounts. National and multi-market retail sales for the Corporation are sold by PIA. PIA operates through offices in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, in addition to two contract representatives in
the U.S.

The Corporations local retail and classified advertising is sold on a publication-by-publication basis. Each
of the Corporations newspapers has a locally-based sales team that sells display, commercial and third-party classified advertisement space, principally to local businesses and organizations. The majority of commercial classifieds relate to
automotive, employment and real estate advertisements. In addition to commercial classified advertising, each newspaper also sells private party classifieds and online classified advertisement placement, which are primarily administered locally.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, Postmedia has digital advertising sales specialists to develop digital
advertising opportunities for its newspapers. Currently, a significant portion of the Corporations local and national sales forces sell both newspaper and digital media and online advertising.

National advertising takes the form of advertisements primarily from large national companies. The sale of national advertisements is
handled by PIA, which employs a dedicated sales team that services the Corporations group of newspapers and digital properties and provides individual newspapers with advertising sales representation, insertion order processing, invoicing and
payment processing. The largest segment of the Corporations total advertising revenues is its advertising that runs in the printed newspaper, often referred to as Postmedias run-of-press advertising revenue. PIA also
represents several third-party publishers and publications acting as their national advertising sales agent on a commissioned basis.

Production and Services

Circulation
and distribution

The Corporations circulation revenue is generated from home delivery sales, single copy sales made
through retailers and vending boxes, and corporate bulk sales. Newspapers are shipped from the Corporations printing plants to depot drop locations or single copy retail outlets by independent trucking companies in each market.
Postmedias newspaper distribution is carried out primarily by independent distributors and carriers along with other third-party distributors that deliver newspapers to subscribers. These third-party distribution networks enable the
Corporation to operate via short-term contracts and reduce supplier concentration issues. Single copies are also sold through vending boxes and retail outlets in the relevant circulation areas.

The Corporation benefits from agreements with distributors which provide for the delivery of newspapers from printing facilities to bulk
locations, retailers, vending boxes and residential and corporate subscribers. Typically, a newspaper division is party to several distribution agreements, covering different stages of delivery and geographical areas.

The Corporation offers pre-authorized monthly payment programs to its subscribers. These automatic credit card and bank debit payment
programs lower the cost of collection and enhance subscriber retention.

In addition to distributing newspapers, Postmedia
also offers three types of insert distribution services:



| |  |  | Paid subscriber basedistribution to existing newspaper subscribers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Extended market coveragedistribution of flyers or other materials to non-subscriber households; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Total market coverageboth subscriber and non-subscriber households for full coverage to specific areas.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These distribution options allow broader penetration of the Corporations markets, allowing advertisers to target specific
demographic and geographic segments. In addition, Flyer Force, a distribution service for advertising flyers, distributes insert packages to non-subscribers in Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa, providing extended market coverage for their associated
Postmedia newspapers (the Calgary Herald, the Edmonton Journal and the Ottawa Citizen, respectively).

Customer service

The Corporation has entered into outsourcing agreements pursuant to which services previously provided by the Corporations subscriber services call centre in Winnipeg, Canada (Reach Canada) were
outsourced to a third party. These subscriber services included answering and handling customer calls, customer service inquiries and complaints.

Printing

Other than with regard to the National Post in certain markets,
the Corporation owns all of the manufacturing equipment for its newspapers and other publications, including printing presses and mailroom inserting equipment. The National Post is printed by different printers (owned or third party) across the
country. The Corporation intends to outsource its printing operations for the Edmonton Journal starting in Fiscal 2013.

In
some markets, in order to improve the operating efficiency of its printing presses, the Corporation also uses its printing press capacity to print advertising inserts, flyers and other third-party publications.

Outsourcing

As part of
Postmedias ongoing focus on cost containment, various outsourcing initiatives have been implemented. In Fiscal 2011, Postmedia completed the outsourcing of advertising production at certain of its daily newspapers to lower cost suppliers in
the Philippines and India. Postmedia has also outsourced certain call centre operations to a third party. Except for the Ottawa market, the National Post is printed by various third parties in all other regions in Canada where the National Post is
distributed. In Fiscal 2012, the Corporation outsourced certain of its flyer force and inserting operations, and in Fiscal 2013 intends to outsource its printing operations for the Edmonton Journal. The Corporation continues to look at future
outsourcing opportunities as part of its business transformation initiatives.

Competitive Conditions

The Corporation faces competition in each of its markets as information is now widely disseminated through many media platforms on a
local, national and international basis. Participants in the newspaper publishing industry depend primarily upon advertising sales, paid subscriptions and single copy newspaper sales in order to generate revenue. Competition for advertising,
subscribers, readers and distribution is intense and comes primarily from television; radio; local, regional and national newspapers; magazines; free publications; direct mail; internet; telephone directories; and other communications and
advertising and subscriber-based media that operate in these markets. In recent years there has been a growing shift in advertising dollars from newspaper advertising to other advertising platforms, including new media outlets, and this shift may be
permanent. Participants in the online media industry also depend upon the sale of advertisements and paid subscriptions in order to generate revenue. The online media industry experiences additional competitive challenges because barriers to entry
are low and geographic location is less relevant. Newspapers attract a relatively high percentage of local advertising in Canada. The Corporation believes local radio is the primary competitor to local newspapers for Canadian retail advertisers who
utilize daily newspapers and local radio more than television or digital media.

In addition, there is increasing
consolidation in the Canadian newspaper publishing and other media industries, and competitors increasingly include market participants with interests in multiple media. These competitors may be more attractive than Postmedia to certain advertisers
because they may be able to bundle advertising sales across newspaper, television and internet platforms. Some of these competitors also have access to greater financial and other resources than Postmedia does.

##### Table of Contents

In 2011, the Canadian newspaper industry was comprised of approximately 95 paid daily
English and French newspapers and 27 free dailies for a total of 122 daily newspapers. Paid daily newspapers accounted for a total of 3,844,434 copies on an average publishing day, according to Newspapers Canada.

The Canadian daily newspaper industrys revenue was $3.0 billion in 2011, with 74% of that revenue derived from print and
online advertising and the balance from circulation, according to the Canadian Newspaper Association. Canadian newspaper publishers typically sell advertising based primarily on readership and secondarily on circulation. In contrast, U.S. newspaper
publishers typically sell advertising based solely on circulation figures. Canadian newspapers have also achieved higher penetration compared to the U.S., with 73% of Canadian adults reading a daily newspaper each week compared to only 57% of
Americans, according to NADbank and eMarketer data.

In recent years and continuing to date, the economic downturn and
structural changes in the industry have driven significant declines in print advertising as well as a continuing shift in advertising dollars from print newspaper advertising to advertising in other formats, particularly online and other digital
platforms, including search and social media websites. This shift may be permanent. To date, the newspaper industry has made limited progress in replacing print advertising revenue with digital advertising revenue.

Components

Newsprint is
the principal raw material used in the production of Postmedias daily newspapers and other print publications. It is a commodity that is generally subject to price volatility. Newsprint expenses fluctuate due to both changes in volume and
changes in price.

Postmedias cost of newsprint is influenced by its strong supplier relationships, volume purchasing
power, proximity to Canadian paper mills and regional supply arrangements that reduce transportation costs. The Corporation opportunistically enters into newsprint purchase agreements with varying terms of up to 12 months depending on external
factors such as foreign export demand, North American mill capacity, operating rates and inventory.

Intangible Properties

Postmedia uses a number of trademarks, service marks and trade names to identify its products and services. Many of these trademarks are
registered by the Corporation in the appropriate jurisdictions. In addition, the Corporation has legal rights in the unregistered marks arising from their use. Postmedia has taken affirmative legal steps to protect its trademarks, and it believes
its trademarks are adequately protected.

The content of Postmedias newspapers and websites is protected by copyright.
The Corporation owns copyrights in each of its publications as a whole and in all individual content items created by its employees in the course of their employment, subject to limited exceptions. Postmedia has entered into licensing agreements
with wire services, freelancers and other content suppliers on terms that it believes are sufficient to meet the needs of its publishing operations. Postmedia believes that it has taken appropriate and reasonable measures to secure, protect and
maintain its rights or obtain agreements from licensees to secure, protect and maintain copyright protection of content produced or distributed by the Corporation.

Postmedia has registered a number of domain names, many of which constitute trademarks, service marks and trade names used in its business, under which it operates websites associated with its publishing
and online operations. As every Internet domain name is unique, its domain names cannot be registered by other entities as long as its registrations are valid.

##### Table of Contents

Postmedias intellectual property constitutes a significant part of the value of the
Company. The Corporation relies on the trademark, copyright, internet/domain name, trade secret and other laws of Canada and other countries, as well as nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements, to protect its intellectual property rights.
However, the Corporation may be unable to prevent third parties from using its intellectual property without its authorization, breaching any nondisclosure agreements with the Corporation, acquiring and maintaining domain names that infringe or
otherwise decrease the value of its trademarks and other proprietary rights, or independently developing intellectual property that is similar to the Corporations, particularly in those countries that do not protect the Corporations
proprietary rights as fully as in Canada.

Third parties may challenge the validity or scope of Postmedias intellectual
property rights from time to time, and such challenges could result in the limitation or loss of intellectual property rights. Irrespective of their validity, such claims may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, which could have
an adverse effect on the Corporations operations.

Cycles

Postmedias revenues largely depend on its retail customers advertising budgets. Advertisers budgets tend to be cyclical,
reflecting the general economic climate and consumers buying habits. As a result, Postmedias revenue has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, significant seasonal variances due to advertising patterns and influences on
peoples media consumption habits. Typically, the Corporations revenue is lowest during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, which ends in August, and highest during the first and third quarters, which end in November and May,
respectively, while expenses are relatively constant throughout the fiscal year. These seasonal variations may lead to increased borrowing needs at certain points within the fiscal year. As a result, Postmedia may use amounts available under the ABL
Facility to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in cash flow.

Environmental Protection

Postmedias operations are subject to a variety of laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions to the air, water
and land, sewer discharges, handling, storage and disposal of, or exposure to, hazardous substances and wastes, recycling, remediation of contaminated sites or otherwise relating to protection of the environment and employee health and safety. The
Corporation uses and stores hazardous substances such as inks and solvents in conjunction with its operations at its printing facilities. Such hazardous substances have in the past been stored in underground storage tanks at some of the
Corporations properties. Some of its printing and other facilities are located in areas with a history of long-term industrial use, and may be impacted by past activities onsite or by contamination emanating from nearby industrial sites. In
the past, a Postmedia predecessor has had contamination resulting from leaks and spills at some of its locations. Postmedia has incurred and will continue to incur costs to comply with environmental, health and safety requirements; but, to date,
such costs have not been material.

Regulation

The publication of newspapers in Canada is not directly regulated by federal or provincial laws. There are, however, indirect restrictions on the foreign ownership of Canadian newspapers by virtue of
certain provisions of the Tax Act. The Tax Act limits the deductibility by Canadian taxpayers of expenditures for advertisements in issues of newspapers other than, except in limited circumstances, Canadian issues of Canadian
newspapers.

In order to qualify as a Canadian issue, the issue generally must have its type set in Canada,
be edited in Canada by individuals resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and be printed and published in Canada. Issues of Postmedias newspapers currently meet these criteria.

##### Table of Contents

The test of whether a newspaper is a Canadian newspaper depends on the
jurisdiction, governance, factual control and share ownership of the corporation which directly publishes the newspaper. Postmedia Network Inc. publishes its newspapers directly. In order to satisfy the requirements of a Canadian
newspaper (subject to a statutory 12 month grace period), Postmedia Network Inc. must satisfy the following: (i) the corporation must be incorporated under the laws of Canada or a province thereof, (ii) the chairperson or other
presiding officer and at least 75% of the directors or other similar officers of the corporation must be Canadian citizens, and (iii) the corporation must not be controlled, in fact, directly or indirectly, by citizens or subjects of a country
other than Canada.

In addition, under the share ownership requirements set out in subsection (iii) of the preceding
paragraph, at least 75% of the voting shares of a non-public corporation and shares having a fair market value in total of at least 75% of the fair market value of all issued shares of a non-public corporation, must be beneficially owned by either
(i) Canadian citizens or (ii) one or more corporations incorporated in Canada each of which is a public corporation a class or classes of shares of which are listed on a designated stock exchange in Canada (which includes the TSX) other
than a public corporation controlled by citizens or subjects of a country other than Canada (Qualifying Public Corporations). Upon the listing of Postmedia Network Canada Corp.s shares on the TSX, Postmedia Network Canada
Corp. became a Qualifying Public Corporation. As Postmedia Network Inc. is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Postmedia Network Canada Corp., Postmedias newspapers qualify as Canadian newspapers.

Issues of Postmedia Network Inc.s newspapers therefore qualify as Canadian issues of Canadian newspapers
(or otherwise fall outside of the limitation on deductibility of advertising expenses) and as a result advertisers currently have the right to deduct their advertising expenditures for Canadian tax purposes.

C. Organizational Structure.

The following chart illustrates Postmedias structure and its material subsidiary.

D. Property, Plant and Equipment.

Postmedia operates from facilities located in each of its major markets. The facilities meet the Corporations current needs and Postmedia believes they are adequate to meet anticipated future
demands. The Corporation owns most of the facilities at which it conducts its business and leases the remainder. The following table provides certain information with respect to Postmedias largest facilities, both owned and leased.

B. Compensation.

The
following discussion and analysis examines the compensation earned by the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer (the CEO), the Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer (the CFO)
and the three other most highly compensated executive officers (collectively, the Named Executive Officers or NEOs), who served as executive officers of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2012
(Fiscal 2012). In addition, it describes and explains Postmedias compensation philosophy and objectives and the significant elements of compensation of the Companys NEOs during Fiscal 2012.

The NEOs for Fiscal 2012 were:



| |  |  | Paul Godfrey, President and Chief Executive Officer
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Douglas Lamb, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Wayne Parrish, Chief Operating Officer
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | Gordon Fisher, President, National Post and Executive Vice President, Eastern Canada
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Michelle Hall, Executive Vice President, Human Resources
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------

Executive Compensation Components and Their Objectives

Postmedias
executive compensation program is comprised of the following compensation components:



| |  |  | base salary;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | annual short-term incentives (annual bonuses);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | long-term management incentives, which include stock options and restricted share units (RSUs);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pension benefits; and
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | perquisites.
| | - |  | ------------

The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to attract and motivate key executives to carry out business strategies that are aligned with the creation of shareholder value. The level of
compensation paid to each NEO is based on the executives qualifications, experience, responsibility and performance.

(i) Salary

Base salary remunerates executives for discharging job requirements. The NEOs base salary represents a fixed level of
cash compensation and it is reviewed annually by the Compensation and Pension Committee with recommendations to the Board for their approval with the goal of ensuring that each NEO is paid fairly, taking into consideration the requirements of the
position, the executives performance, knowledge, skills, experience and equity with other executives within Postmedia and compared to the external market for competitiveness. The Companys policy is to target base salary compensation for
the NEOs at the median level or just above, based on external market considerations, organizational and individual performance. The NEOs are also reviewed based upon the comparator group recommended by Hugessen (see Item 6C. Board Practices
 Competitive Benchmarking).

##### Table of Contents

(ii) Annual Short-term Incentive Plan (STIP)

The STIP represents variable cash compensation. Short-term incentive targets for the NEOs are expressed as a percentage of base salary and
are determined based on competitive market practices and the program is designed to attract and motivate executive performance. The Compensation and Pension Committee recommends for approval by the Board the short-term incentive plan design,
performance measures, weightings and targets for each fiscal year.

The Companys policy is to target short-term
incentives at median for the NEOs with the purpose of being externally competitive while incenting for maximum performance to achieve Company goals.

In designing the STIP, the goal is to align the payouts with the business strategy and to motivate plan participants to achieve defined goals. The CEO is eligible for 100% of base salary at target and the
other four NEOs are eligible for 50% of base salary at target. The short-term incentives all have a maximum payout opportunity equal to 150% of target.

For Fiscal 2012, the Board provided the CEO with discretion to recommend an adjustment on incentive bonus payments under the STIP subject to the performance of pre-defined and pre-approved criteria (the
Discretionary Payout). The Discretionary Payout is subject to Board approval and cannot exceed an established fixed percentage of the overall STIP. The payout is capped at 150% of target (including any Discretionary Payout).

The CEO STIP plan design for Fiscal 2012 remained the same as the prior fiscal year, with the minimum payout threshold set at
80% of performance target. The payout is capped at 150% when performance reaches 125% of target. Payouts are graduated proportionately for achievements between 80% and 100% and between 100% and 125% of target.

The plan for the other four NEOs remained the same as the prior fiscal year with the minimum payout threshold set at 85% of performance
target. The payout is capped at 150% of target when performance achievement reaches 125% of performance target.

In October
2011, the Board approved plan payouts for Fiscal 2012 based upon the level of achievement of targets (established for purposes of the STIP) based on the corporate performance of consolidated operating profit and consolidated digital revenue. The
CEO, CFO and two of the NEOs were measured 70% against corporate performance relating to consolidated operating profit before depreciation, amortization and restructuring (the Consolidated Operating Target) and 30% against
consolidated digital revenue. One other NEO was measured 40% against the Consolidated Operating Target and 60% against similar targets established at the individual operating unit level.

The Consolidated Operating Target and consolidated digital revenue established for the STIP for Fiscal 2012 were $197 million and $112
million, respectively, whereas the actual achievement was $144 million and $89 million, respectively. With respect to the targets for individual operating units, we are relying on the exemption pursuant to the applicable securities laws in order to
not disclose such targets, as doing so would be seriously prejudicial to our competitive market position. The level of difficulty in reaching the undisclosed targets is similar to that in meeting the Consolidated Operating Target and consolidated
digital revenue. The undisclosed targets for individual operating units apply only to one NEO and represents 20% of such NEOs base salary and STIP.

The threshold performance targets described above were not met for Fiscal 2012. The Board approved a Discretionary Payout of $75,000 (as noted in the table below) for the CFO in recognition of his
significant accomplishments on two organizational initiatives for Fiscal 2012.

(iii) Long-term Management Incentive Plans

The Company has an Option Plan and an RSU Plan that are intended to, among other things, attract, motivate and retain certain executive
officers and other grantees and align their interests with the interests of shareholders. The long-term incentive programs are designed to reward performance over a ten year period, and vest over a five year period, and are provided to senior
leaders in value driven roles and key contributors who are critical to the organizations future. See Incentive Plan Awards  Option Plan and Incentive Plan Awards  RSU Plan.

In Fiscal 2012 the Compensation and Pension Committee made recommendations to the Board for approval of stock option grants to certain
NEOs and senior executives which grants took into account previous grants to such NEOs. The recommendations made to the Board were for senior management who did not already have options including Senior Vice Presidents and Publishers. The
allocations of the grants to the NEOs are disclosed under the Summary Compensation Table, the Outstanding Share Based Awards Table and the Option Based Awards Table, below.

Pension Plan

Postmedia maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the
Pension Plan) for its executives which is the same pension plan offered to a majority of other employees in the Company and does not offer a supplemental executive retirement plan. The benefit formula takes into consideration the
members pensionable earnings and credited service in the plan along with the maximum Canada Pension Plan levels. The formula is: 1.25% multiplied by the final average earnings up to the average yearly maximum pensionable earnings multiplied by
the credited service plus 1.75% multiplied by the final average earnings in excess of the average yearly maximum pensionable earnings multiplied by the credited service. The Pension Plan averages the members best five years of pensionable
earnings during the last ten years prior to retirement or termination.

The maximum pension payable under the Plan is as
prescribed by the Income Tax Act. An executive officer contributes to the plan an amount of 2.5% of pensionable earnings up to the yearly maximum pensionable earnings and 5% thereafter.

The Pension Plan also provides for an early retirement subsidy for the executive officers and all participants who take early retirement
following the attainment of both age 62 and 10 years of continuous service. A participant retiring after age 55 but before age 62 with 10 or more years of continuous years of service may elect to receive an unreduced deferred retirement income
payable at age 62. For a participant retiring after age 55 but before age 62 with less than 10 years of continuous employment, the pension is reduced by a factor of one-third of 1% for each complete month by which the early retirement date precedes
the normal retirement date.

benchmark bond yield in effect on the date of grant, dividend yield of nil, a volatility factor of 54% based in part on the volatility of the Companys Shares and the volatility of the shares of similar companies in the media and publishing
industry and an expected life of options of 5 years based partly on contractual terms and a published academic study.

Incentive Plan Awards

Option Plan

The Option Plan is intended to assist Postmedia in
attracting, motivating and retaining officers and employees by granting the right to purchase Shares (Options), as applicable, under the Option Plan (the Option Plan), in order to allow them to participate in
the long-term success of Postmedia and to promote a greater alignment of their interests with the interests of the shareholders of Postmedia.

Under the Option Plan, Options may be granted to participants in respect of unissued Shares. Participants are current full-time or part-time officers, employees or consultants of Postmedia or certain
related entities (herein referred to as Participants). The Option Plan is administered by the Board (the Plan Administrator). In administering the Option Plan, the Plan Administrator may determine, among other
things, Participants to whom Options are granted and the amounts, terms and conditions relating to Options, including the exercise price, and the time(s) when and circumstances under which Options become exercisable.

The maximum number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance at any time for the exercise of Options under the Option Plan is 3,000,000
Shares or 7.44% of the total number of Shares issued and outstanding. As of August 31, 2012, 2,080,000 Options, including 600,000 tandem Options/RSUs, or 69% of the number of Options that are reserved for issuance, have been granted under the
Option Plan, representing 5.2% of the total number of Shares issued and outstanding. Therefore, there are currently 920,000 Options available to be granted under the Option Plan representing a maximum of 2.3% of the total number of Shares issued and
outstanding. All Options will have a fixed exercise price, which shall not be less than the fair market value at the date of grant, being the volume-weighted average closing price of the applicable Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the
TSX) for the five trading days in which the Shares have actually traded immediately preceding such date, or if the Shares are not listed and posted for trading on any stock exchange, the fair market value of the Shares as
determined by the Board in its sole discretion (Fair Market Value). At the election of a Participant, in lieu of exercising an Option a Participant may instead choose to surrender such Option, in whole or in part, in consideration
of (i) the difference between the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Shares subject to the Option and the exercise price for such Option (the Option Value) in the form of Shares, or (ii) the Option Value in
the form of cash, subject to the consent of Postmedia. The term of any Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant, subject to extension of up to ten
business days in the event the expiration of an Option would otherwise occur during or within two business days after the end of a Blackout Period (as such term is defined in the Option Plan). Options (including the rights attached thereto) are
non-assignable and non-transferable except through devolution by death. The terms and conditions of Options granted under the Option Plan are subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator.

The Option Plan limits insider participation such that (i) the number of Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options granted
to insiders (as such term is used in the TSX Company Manual) of Postmedia under the Option Plan, together with the number of securities issuable to insiders under Postmedias other security based compensation arrangements (as such term is used
in the TSX Company Manual), at any time, must not exceed 10% of Postmedias issued and outstanding Shares, and (ii) the number of Shares issued to insiders of Postmedia within any one year period pursuant to the exercise of Options,
together with the number of securities issued to insiders pursuant to all of Postmedias other security based compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of Postmedias issued and outstanding Shares.

Under the Option Plan, in the case of the death of a Participant, all outstanding unvested Options granted to such Participant shall
immediately and automatically be deemed to be vested and the legal representatives of such Participant shall have the right to exercise part or all of the Participants outstanding and vested Options at any time up to and including (but not
after) the earlier of the last business day on or prior to: (i) the date that is one year following the date of death of such Participant; or

(ii) the date on which the exercise period of the particular Option expires. In the case of Incapacity (as such term is defined in the Option Plan), all outstanding unvested Options granted to
such Participant continue to vest and the Participant shall have the right to exercise part or all of the Participants outstanding and vested Options at any time up to and including the date on which the particular Option expires. In the case
of resignation or cessation of office or employment of the Participant with the prior written consent of Postmedia, all outstanding and unvested Options granted to such Participant immediately and automatically terminate provided that, the Board
may, but is not obligated to, allow a portion or all of the unvested Options to have an extended time period by which such Options may remain in effect and shall not automatically terminate. Such Participant shall have the right to exercise part or
all of the Participants outstanding and vested Options at any time up to and including (but not after) the earlier of the last business day on or prior to: (i) the date on which the exercise period of the particular Option expires; or
(ii) the date that is 90 days following the date of resignation. In the case of Retirement (as such term is defined in the Option Plan) of a Participant, all outstanding unvested Options granted to such Participant shall not terminate but shall
continue to vest in accordance with their terms and the Participant shall have the right to exercise part or all of such Options once vested at any time up to and including (but not after) the earlier of the last business day on or prior to:
(i) the date that is three years following the date of Retirement; or (ii) the date on which the exercise period of the particular Option expires, and the Participant shall have the right to exercise part or all of the Participants
outstanding and vested Options as at the date of Retirement at any time up to and including (but not after) the earlier of the last Business Day on or prior to: (x) the date that is three years following the date of Retirement; or (y) the
date on which the exercise period of the particular Option expires. Where a Participants employment terminates by reason of termination without Cause (as such term is defined in the Option Plan), unless otherwise determined by the Plan
Administrator, all outstanding and unvested Options granted to such Participant will immediately and automatically terminate provided that, the Board may, but is not obligated to, allow a portion or all of the unvested Options to have an extended
time period by which such Options may remain in effect and shall not automatically terminate. The Participant will have the right to exercise part or all of the Participants outstanding and vested Options at any time up to and including (but
not after) the earlier of: (i) the date on which the exercise period of the particular Option expires; and (ii) the date that is 90 days after the Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Option Plan). Where a Participants
employment is terminated by Postmedia or certain related entities for Cause, then any Options held by such Participant, whether or not exercisable at the Termination Date, immediately expire and are cancelled on such date at a time determined by the
Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

If, before the expiry of an Option in accordance with the terms thereof, a Change
of Control (as such term is defined in the Option Plan) occurs and a Participant ceases to be an employee of Postmedia or certain related entities by reason of termination: (i) by Postmedia or related entity or by the entity that has entered
into a valid and binding agreement with Postmedia and/or its affiliates to effect the Change of Control at any time after such agreement is entered into or during the Control Period (as such term is defined in the Option Plan) and such termination
was for any reason other than for Cause; or (ii) by the Participant within sixty days after an act of Constructive Dismissal (as such term is defined in the Option Plan), the Participants Options become fully vested and may be exercised
or surrendered by the Participant at any time within 120 days of the Participants Termination Date. In the event of a Change of Control, all outstanding Options shall be replaced with similar options of the entity resulting from the
transaction on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Options, unless such replacement is not possible, practical or advisable, as the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine. If such determination is made that replacement is not
possible, practical or advisable, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any or all outstanding Options to provide that such outstanding Options shall be fully vested and conditionally exercisable upon (or
prior to) the completion of the transaction resulting in the change in control. In the event the Plan Administrator accelerates the vesting of any outstanding Options (i) provided at least 10 days notice has been provided to an Optionee,
all vested Options, unless exercised prior to or at the time of the Change of Control, will expire and be of no further force or effect upon completion of the Change of Control, and (ii) if, for any reason, the transaction that would result in
a Change of Control is not completed, the Plan Administrator may cause the acceleration of exercise periods of any Options or acceleration of the time for the fulfillment of any conditions or restrictions on such exercise of Options to be retracted
and the vesting of such Options to revert to the manner provided in the applicable Option agreement, unless such Options have already been exercised.

The Board may amend the Option Plan without shareholder approval in certain instances,
including, without limitation: (i) for the purpose of making formal, minor or technical modifications to any of the provisions of the Option Plan, including amendments of a housekeeping nature; (ii) to correct any ambiguity,
defective provision, error or omission in the provisions of the Option Plan; (iii) to amend the vesting provisions of Options; (iv) to change the termination provisions of Options or the Option Plan that does not entail an extension beyond
the original expiry date; or (v) any other amendment that does not require shareholder approval under applicable laws or the applicable rules of the TSX, provided that no such amendment may be made without the consent of each affected optionee
if such amendment would adversely affect the rights of such affected optionee for Options previously granted. Shareholder approval will be required for any amendment to the Option Plan to: (a) reduce the exercise price; (b) extend the term
of Options (other than as set out in the Option Plan); (c) increase the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Option Plan, subject to certain exceptions in connection with a reorganization or other event affecting the capital
of Postmedia; (d) remove or exceed the insider participation limit; and (e) amend the amendment provisions of the Option Plan.

RSU Plan

The RSU Plan provides for the grant of the right to acquire any number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares, as applicable, in
accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan (RSUs) to Participants, being current part-time or full-time officers, employees or consultants of Postmedia or certain related entities. The maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable
pursuant to RSUs outstanding at any time under the RSU Plan shall not exceed 600,000 Shares. Effective July 13, 2010, Postmedia granted 600,000 RSUs to Mr. Godfrey as part of the tandem Options/RSUs (Tandem Award)
described under  Employment AgreementsPresident and Chief Executive Officer and, as a result, there are currently no RSUs available to be granted under the RSU Plan.

The RSU Plan is administered by the Board. In administering the RSU Plan, the Board may determine, among other things, Participants to
whom RSUs are granted and the amounts, terms and vesting dates of RSUs. Each RSU will be settled for one Share, without payment of additional consideration, after such RSU has vested; however, at any time, a Participant may request in writing, upon
exercising vested RSUs, subject to the consent of Postmedia, that Postmedia pay an amount in cash equal to the aggregate current Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of such exercise in consideration for the surrender by the Participant to
Postmedia of the rights to receive Shares under such RSUs. The Board may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting date for all or any RSUs for any Participant at any time and from time to time. RSUs are non-transferable. The terms and
conditions of RSUs granted under the RSU Plan will be subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, in the discretion of the Board.

The RSU Plan limits insider participation such that: (i) the number of Shares issuable to insiders (as such term is used in the TSX Company Manual) at any time, under all security based compensation
arrangements (as such term is used in the TSX Company Manual) of Postmedia, shall not exceed 10% of the number of Shares issued and outstanding from time to time; and (ii) the number of Shares issued to insiders, within any one year period,
under all security based compensation arrangements of Postmedia, shall not exceed 10% of the number of Shares issued and outstanding from time to time.

Under the RSU Plan, in the case of the death of a Participant, all outstanding unvested RSUs granted to such Participant shall immediately and automatically be deemed to be vested and the legal
representatives of such Participant shall have the right to exercise part or all of the Participants outstanding and vested RSUs at any time up to and including (but not after) the last business day on or prior to the date that is one year
following the date of death of such Participant. In the case of Incapacity (as such term is defined in the RSU Plan), all outstanding unvested RSUs granted to such Participant continue to vest and the Participant shall have the right to exercise
part or all of the Participants outstanding and vested RSUs at any time. In the case of resignation or cessation of office or employment

of the Participant with the prior written consent of Postmedia, all outstanding and unvested RSUs granted to
such Participant will immediately and automatically terminate provided that, the Board may, but is not obligated to, allow a portion or all of the unvested RSUs to have an extended time period by which such RSUs may remain in effect and shall not
automatically terminate. Such Participant shall have the right to exercise part or all of the Participants outstanding and vested RSUs at any time up to and including (but not after) the last business day on or prior to the date that is 90
days following the date of resignation. In the case of Retirement (as such term is defined in the RSU Plan) of a Participant, all outstanding unvested RSUs granted to such Participant shall not terminate but shall continue to vest in accordance with
their terms and the Participant shall have the right to exercise part or all of such RSUs once vested at any time up to and including (but not after) the last business day on or prior to the date that is three years following the date of Retirement,
and the Participant shall have the right to exercise part or all of the Participants outstanding and vested RSUs as at the date of Retirement at any time up to and including (but not after) the last Business Day on or prior to the date that is
three years following the date of Retirement. Where a Participants employment terminates by reason of termination without Cause (as such term is defined in the RSU Plan), unless otherwise determined by the Board, all outstanding and unvested
RSUs granted to such Participant will immediately and automatically terminate provided that, the Board may, but is not obligated to, allow a portion or all of the unvested RSUs to have an extended time period by which such RSUs may remain in effect
and shall not automatically terminate. The Participant will have the right to exercise part or all of the Participants outstanding and vested RSUs at any time up to and including (but not after) the date that is 90 days after the Termination
Date (as such term is defined in the RSU Plan). Where a Participants employment is terminated by Postmedia or certain related entities for Cause, then any RSUs held by such Participant, whether or not exercisable at the Termination Date,
immediately expire and are cancelled on such date at a time determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

If,
before the expiry of a RSU in accordance with the terms thereof, a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the RSU Plan) occurs and a Participant ceases to be an employee of Postmedia or certain related entities by reason of termination:
(i) by Postmedia or a related entity or by the entity that has entered into a valid and binding agreement with Postmedia and/or its affiliates to effect the Change of Control at any time after such agreement is entered into or during the
Control Period (as such term is defined in the RSU Plan) and such termination was for any reason other than for Cause; or (ii) by the Participant within sixty days after an act of Constructive Dismissal (as such term is defined in the RSU
Plan), the Participants RSUs become fully vested and may be exercised or surrendered by the Participant at any time within 120 days of the Participants Termination Date. In the event of a Change of Control, all outstanding RSUs shall be
replaced with similar restricted share units of the entity resulting from the transaction on substantially the same terms and conditions as the RSU Plan, unless such replacement is not possible, practical or advisable, as the Board may, in its sole
discretion, determine. If such determination is made that replacement is not possible, practical or advisable, the Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any or all outstanding RSUs to provide that such outstanding RSUs shall
be fully vested and conditionally exercisable upon (or prior to) the completion of the transaction resulting in the Change of Control. In the event the Board accelerates the vesting of any outstanding RSUs (i) provided at least 10 days
notice has been provided to a Participant, all vested RSUs, unless exercised prior to or at the time of the Change of Control, will expire and be of no further force or effect upon completion of the Change of Control, and (ii) if, for any
reason, the transaction that would result in a Change of Control is not completed, the Board may cause the acceleration of exercise periods of any RSUs or acceleration of the time for the fulfillment of any conditions or restrictions on such
exercise of RSUs to be retracted and the vesting of such RSUs to revert to the manner provided in the applicable RSU agreement, unless such RSUs have already been exercised.

The Board may amend the RSU Plan without shareholder approval in certain instances, including, but not limited to: (i) for the purpose of making formal, minor or technical modifications to any of the
provisions of the Plan, including amendments of a housekeeping nature; (ii) to correct any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission in the provisions of the plan; (iii) to amend the vesting, redemption or payment
provisions of the plan or any RSUs; (iv) to change the termination provisions of RSUs or the plan that does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; (v) to facilitate a cash payment; or (vi) any other amendment that
does not require shareholder approval under applicable laws

or the applicable rules of the TSX, provided that no such amendment of the plan may be made without the consent of each affected Participant if such amendment would adversely affect the rights of
such affected Participant for RSUs previously granted. Shareholder approval will be required for any amendment to the RSU Plan to: (a) extend the term of RSUs; (b) increase the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the plan,
subject to certain exceptions in connection with a reorganization or other event affecting the capital of Postmedia; (c) remove or exceed the insider participation limit; and (d) amend the amendment provisions of the plan.

|(2) | Does not include Mr. Godfreys Tandem Award, which has been reflected in the share-based awards column and is described in notes 4 and 5 below.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | This column contains the aggregate value of the in-the-money vested and unvested unexercised Options as of August 31, 2012, computed using the weighted average
share price for the five trading days in which Shares have actually traded immediately preceding August 31, 2012, of $0.81 for the Voting Shares. None of the Options issued to the CEO, CFO and the NEOs are currently in-the-money as the exercise
price is currently in excess of the value of a Voting Share. The Options have not been and may never be exercised and the actual gain, if any, on exercise will depend on the value of the Voting Shares on the date of such exercise.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | This represents the portion of RSUs under Mr. Godfreys Tandem Award that have not yet vested, with the assumption that Mr. Godfrey would exercise his
RSUs under the Tandem Award. The Tandem Award is further described in  Employment Agreements  President and Chief Executive Officer.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) | The weighted average for the five trading days in which Shares have actually traded immediately preceding August 31, 2012, of $0.81 for the Voting Shares was used
to value Mr. Godfreys unvested Tandem Award.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) | The class of Shares that underlie a particular Option is determined based on the citizenship for the holder of the Option, with holders that are Non-Canadian receiving
a Variable Voting Share upon the exercise of an Option and holders that are not Non-Canadian receiving a Voting Share upon the exercise of an Option. All NEOs hold Options exercisable for Voting Shares.

Notes:

|(1) | For Messrs. Godfrey, Lamb and Fisher the value of the Options granted which vested in Fiscal 2012 were computed using the weighted average share price for the five
trading days in which Shares have actually traded immediately preceding the vesting date of July 13, 2012 of $1.41 for the Voting Shares. For Mr. Parrish and Ms. Hall the value of the Options granted which vested in Fiscal 2012 were
computed using the weighted average share price for the five trading days in which Shares have actually traded immediately preceding the vesting date of January 26, 2012, which was the initial date of grant, of $6.53 for the Voting Shares. None
of the Options issued to the CEO, CFO and the NEOs were in-the-money on the vesting dates during Fiscal 2012 as the exercise price was in excess of the value of a Voting Share. The Options have not been and may never be exercised and actual gain, if
any, on exercise will depend on the value of the Voting Shares on the date of such exercise.

|(2) | One-fifth of the Tandem Award granted in 2010, which equals 120,000 RSUs, vested on July 13, 2012. The value of the Tandem Award which vested in
Fiscal 2012 was computed using the weighted average for the five trading days in which Shares have actually traded immediately preceding July 13, 2012 of $1.41 for the Voting Shares. Mr. Godfrey has not yet exercised either the vested
Options or vested RSUs associated with this Tandem Award and for purposes of this disclosure we have assumed Mr. Godfrey will exercise the RSUs. The Options associated with this Tandem Award will expire upon the tenth anniversary of the
exercise date, and the RSUs will not expire. There are no exercise prices for RSUs issued under the RSU Plan.

Employment Agreements

President
and Chief Executive Officer

On July 13, 2010, Mr. Godfrey entered into an employment agreement with
Postmedia Network Inc. with an expiry date of August 31, 2014. The employment agreement for Mr. Godfrey provides him with an annual base salary of $950,000 and an annual cash incentive target opportunity of 100% of his base salary, based
on full achievement of the annual plan target as fixed by the Board, with enhanced eligibility for up to an additional 50% of Mr. Godfreys base salary, based on exceeding the plan target fixed by the Board by 20% or more (together with
prorated amounts for achieving between 80% and 120% of the annual plan target). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Godfrey subscribed for $1,000,000 of Voting Shares at a price of $9.26 per share (which shares are currently held in a
trust for the benefit of certain members of Mr. Godfreys family). In addition, Mr. Godfrey received Options (as defined under  Incentive Plan Awards  Option Plan) to acquire 400,000 Voting Shares exercisable
at a price of $9.85 per share and a grant of an additional 600,000 tandem Options/RSUs (an RSU defined under   Incentive Plan Awards  RSU Plan). These tandem Options/RSUs were granted concurrently and, upon the
exercise of any or all of such Options, the corresponding number of RSUs will be automatically forfeited by Mr. Godfrey for no consideration and, upon the exercise of any or all of such RSUs, the corresponding number of Options will be
automatically forfeited by Mr. Godfrey for no consideration. Upon the exercise of an Option, Mr. Godfrey will, upon payment of the exercise price, receive one Share in accordance with the terms of the Option Plan. Upon exercise of an RSU,
Mr. Godfrey will receive one Share without payment of additional consideration, however Mr. Godfrey may request in writing upon exercising his vested RSUs, subject to the consent of Postmedia, to receive the Fair Market Value of the Shares
in cash in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan. In no event will Mr. Godfrey receive more than 600,000 share entitlements (either in the form of Shares or the value of a Share, as applicable) in respect of the Tandem Award. The Options
and RSUs will vest, as to 20% of the Shares subject to each award immediately upon grant and, as to the balance of the Shares subject to each award, equally on each of the first four anniversaries of the effective date of the employment agreement.

Mr. Godfrey is entitled to receive various employee benefits and perquisites. The employment agreement provides that if
Mr. Godfreys position is terminated without cause by Postmedia Network Inc. or by Mr. Godfrey for good reason, Mr. Godfrey will be paid an amount equal to the base salary that

would have been payable to him until the expiry of the term of his employment agreement as if it had not been terminated. Mr. Godfreys termination clause also provides for an amount
equal to the average of annual cash incentive bonuses paid to Mr. Godfrey for each fiscal year of Postmedia Network Inc. during which Mr. Godfrey was employed with Postmedia Network Inc. prorated for any partial year to the expiry of the
term, together with continuation of benefits, perquisites and allowances to which Mr. Godfrey was entitled at the date of termination for the same period. In the event of a termination of Mr. Godfreys employment by reason of
incapacity, Mr. Godfrey is entitled to the base salary and benefits, perquisites and allowances to which he was entitled at the date of termination to the end of the term. Mr. Godfreys employment agreement also includes
non-competition and non-solicitation covenants effective during the term of employment and post-termination (until the later of 12 months following termination and the entirety of the term of the agreement) in favour of Postmedia Network Inc. The
agreement provides that Mr. Godfreys position is intended to be full-time and exclusive, subject only to the reasonable fulfillment of his responsibilities in connection with his other positions as approved by Postmedia Network Inc. from
time to time. Mr. Godfrey is not eligible for any pension and/or post retirement income from Postmedia Network Inc.

Other
Executive Employment Agreements

The employment agreements for each of Messrs. Lamb, Parrish, Fisher and Ms. Hall
(each, an Executive) provide each such Executive with an initial annual base salary ranging from $295,000 to $475,000, subject to annual review by Postmedia Network Inc., and each Executive is eligible for an annual cash incentive
target opportunity of 50% of such Executives base salary, with an opportunity to achieve up to 75% if financial performance is 125% of budget. The awarding of incentives will be based on the financial performance of the Company.

Each of the Executives is eligible to participate in the Option Plan and is entitled to receive various employee benefits and
perquisites. See  Incentive Plan Awards. Pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements, Messrs. Lamb and Parrish exercised rights to subscribe for $200,000 of Shares, Mr. Fisher exercised his right to
subscribe for $500,000 of Shares and Ms. Hall exercised her right to subscribe for $25,000 of Shares, each at a price of $9.26 per share. With the exception of Mr. Lambs employment agreement, the employment agreements provide that,
if the Executives position is terminated without cause by Postmedia Network Inc., they will be paid a lump sum severance payment equivalent to (a) one months base salary for each year of service they have completed on behalf of
Postmedia Network Inc. or any predecessor entity (with a minimum of 18 months up to a maximum of 24 months), and (b) one month of the Executives average annual bonus for each full year of service that they have completed on behalf of
Postmedia Network Inc. or any predecessor entity (with a minimum of 18 months up to a maximum of 24 months). Ms. Hall will also continue to receive benefits for a period of 18 months. Mr. Lambs employment agreement provides that if

Notes:

|(1) | Mr. Godfrey will not be entitled to any additional Options or RSUs after his termination date, but all existing Options and his Tandem Award will continue to vest
in accordance with the provisions of the relevant plan. The Company has calculated the value of the unvested Tandem Award, based on the assumption Mr. Godfrey would exercise RSUs as his Tandem Award vests. The unvested RSUs as at
August 31, 2012 totalled 240,000. For purposes of computing the value of the Tandem Award and the Options under the Option Plan, the weighted average for the five trading days in which Shares have actually traded immediately preceding
August 31, 2012 of $0.81 for the Voting Shares was used. Using a value for a Voting Share of $0.81, the value of Mr. Godfreys vested Tandem Award (which amount is not reflected in the above table) would be $291,600. Under the Option
Plan, all of Mr. Godfreys vested Options will continue to be available to be exercised upon termination of his employment contract. Using a value for a Voting Share of $0.81, the value of Mr. Godfreys vested Options (which
amount is not reflected in the above table), if exercised, would be nil. If Mr. Godfreys employment contract is terminated due to incapacity, his unvested Options under the Option Plan will continue to vest. The value of these unvested
Options (which amount is reflected in the table), using a value of $0.81, would be nil.

|(2) | In the event of the resignation by Mr. Lamb of his employment due to a change in control (as defined in his employment contract), Mr. Lamb will be entitled to
the same payments as he would be entitled to receive in respect of a termination without cause as described above. Under the Option Plan, all of Mr. Lambs vested Options will continue to be available to be exercised upon termination of
his employment contract. Using a value of a Voting Share of $0.81 at August 31, 2012, the value of the vested Options (which amount is not reflected in the above table), if exercised, would be nil. If Mr. Lambs employment contract is
terminated due to incapacity, his unvested Options under the Option Plan will continue to vest. The value of these unvested Options (which amount is reflected in the table), using a value of $0.81, would be nil.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Under the Option Plan, all of Mr. Parrishs vested Options will continue to be available to be exercised upon termination of his employment contract. Using a
value of a Voting Share of $0.81 at August 31, 2012, the value of the vested Options (which amount is not reflected in the above table), if exercised, would be nil. If Mr. Parrishs employment contract is terminated due to incapacity,
his unvested Options under the Option Plan will continue to vest. The value of these unvested Options (which amount is reflected in the table), using a value of $0.81, would be nil.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | Under the Option Plan, all of Mr. Fishers vested Options will continue to be available to be exercised upon termination of his employment contract. Using a
value of a Voting Share of $0.81 at August 31, 2012, the value of the vested Options (which amount is not reflected in the above table), if exercised, would be nil. If Mr. Fishers employment contract is terminated due to incapacity,
his unvested Options under the Option Plan will continue to vest. The value of these unvested Options (which amount is reflected in the above table), using a value of $0.81, would be nil.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) | Under the Option Plan, all of Ms. Halls vested Options will continue to be available to be exercised upon termination of her employment contract. Using a
value of a Voting Share of $0.81 at August 31, 2012, the value of the vested Options (which amount is not reflected in the above table), if exercised, would be nil. If Ms. Halls employment contract is terminated due to incapacity,
her unvested Options under the Option Plan will continue to vest. The value of these unvested Options (which amount is reflected in the table), using a value of $0.81, would be nil.

##### Table of Contents

Except for those payments to Mr. Lamb described in note 2 above and the ability of the
Board, at its discretion, to accelerate the vesting of unvested Options and unvested RSUs, no incremental payments to the NEOs are triggered upon a change in control of the Company.

Director Compensation

Annual Fees

The compensation of any director of Postmedia (other than any members of management who receive no compensation for serving on the Board)
has been structured so that at least one-half of such compensation is equity-based, with vesting subject to specified criteria. The chairman of the Board receives an annual fee of $270,000. A director who serves as the chair of the Audit Committee
or the Compensation and Pension Committee receives an annual fee of $170,000 and a director who serves as the chair of any other committee receives an annual fee of $150,000, with the exception of John Paton who has waived the portion of his fees
attributable to his service as the chair of the Digital Oversight Committee. Each director who is not the chair of the Board or the chair of a committee of the Board is entitled to be paid an annual fee of $120,000, and each director who is not the
Chair of the Board receives an additional fee of $10,000 in respect of each Board committee on which the director serves but does not chair. Directors do not receive a fee for each meeting attended unless it is determined by the Board that an
extraordinary number of meetings are being held. Annual fees for all of the directors are paid 50% (or at the election of a particular director, a greater percentage) in the form of a grant of DSUs (as defined below) and the balance in cash. For any
director who was appointed prior to, or within 90 days following, the acquisition date of July 13, 2010, and Hugh F. Dow (the Initial Directors), the first three years of DSUs, representing 50% of the annual fees, have been
granted as of July 13, 2010 and vested in three equal installments over three years in advance of each such year. Due to the extensive work that was required to be performed by the Initial Directors in Postmedias first fiscal year, these
directors received one years additional remuneration in the form of DSUs, which vested in three equal installments over three years, in advance of each such year, and are subject to a performance threshold based on Postmedia achieving an
EBITDA (as that term is defined in the applicable Board resolution) of $201.8 million in any one fiscal year. On January 11, 2012, the threshold was adjusted from $220.0 million to reflect the impact of the divestiture of the Victoria Times
Colonist, Lower Mainland Publishing Group and Vancouver Island Newspaper Group on Postmedias consolidated operating profit before amortization, depreciation and restructuring. The performance threshold has not been met.

DSUs totaling 489,687 (inclusive of the 100,000 granted to John Paton as described in the table included in the DSU Plan
discussion below) have been granted under the DSU Plan, with the Value of a Share (as such term is defined in the DSU Plan) used to determine the number of DSUs granted. Value of a Share means the five-day weighted average closing
price of the Voting Shares for the five trading days in which Shares have actually traded, or, if the Voting Shares are not trading on the TSX, on the relevant day, the Value of a Voting Share on such stock exchange on which such Voting Shares are
listed and posted for trading as may be selected for such purpose by the Board; however, in the event that Voting Shares are not listed and posted for trading on any stock exchange, the value of a Share shall be the fair market value thereof as
determined by the Board in its sole discretion. During Fiscal 2012, the Corporation paid $885,000 in cash payments to its directors and issued 5,552 DSUs in compensation (as described in the Director Compensation Table below) to its directors.

Director Compensation Table

The following table describes the compensation that was paid by the Corporation to its non-employee directors during the year ended August 31, 2012. All non-employee directors elected to receive all
of the eligible portion of their Fiscal 2012 compensation in cash. For more detail on this election, see   Director Compensation  DSU Plan. Mr. Godfrey does not receive any compensation for serving as a director of the
Corporation. His compensation for serving as President and CEO is included under  Summary Compensation Table. The total compensation received by the Corporations non-employee directors in Fiscal 2012 was approximately $0.9
million.

DSU Plan

Postmedia has adopted the DSU Plan for the benefit of its non-employee directors. Under the DSU Plan, non-employee directors of Postmedia
are required to elect to receive at least 50% (and may elect to receive up to 100%) of their annual fees satisfied in the form of DSUs, and may receive additional grants of DSUs under the DSU Plan from time to time in accordance with the terms of
the DSU Plan. The number of DSUs to be credited to a director will be calculated on the date that fees are payable to such director, by dividing the dollar amount elected by such director in respect of such fees by the Value of a Share on such date.
The vesting conditions (which may include time restrictions, performance conditions or a combination of both) of each DSU granted under the DSU Plan, will be determined by the Board, and on redemption (which would occur after the holder of the DSUs
ceases to serve as a director and is not otherwise employed by Postmedia) DSUs will be paid out in cash. The DSUs are generally non-transferrable. Whenever cash dividends or distributions are paid on the Shares, additional DSUs will be credited to
directors. The Board may discontinue the DSU Plan at any time or, subject to certain exceptions set out in the DSU Plan, may amend the DSU Plan at any time.

Notes

|(1) | Certain of the DSUs noted in this column as Performance, are subject to performance criteria requiring Postmedia to achieve a specified EBITDA threshold as
defined in  Director Compensation  Annual Fees. As noted earlier, the performance threshold has not been met.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Market DSUs were issued to Mr. Paton on July 13, 2010 in recognition of his enhanced director role and are subject to the achievement of market criteria
whereby the Fair Market Value of a Voting Share must be equal to, or greater than, $9.85. Based on the criteria for the Market DSUs, Mr. Paton would not be able to exercise his Market DSUs as at August 31, 2012, even though they are fully
vested, as the Fair Market Value of a Voting Share was not equal to or greater than $9.85.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Based on the vesting criteria as per the DSU Plan.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------

|(4) | The value of the DSUs vested during the year, and as of the end of the year, are computed using the weighted average for the five trading days in which Shares have
actually traded immediately preceding August 31, 2012 of $0.81 for the Voting Shares.

C. Board Practices.

Postmedia is required to have a minimum of three directors and a maximum of 15 directors.

The Board has adopted a majority voting policy in director elections that will apply at any meeting of the Postmedia shareholders where an uncontested election of directors is held. Pursuant to this
policy, if the number of proxy votes withheld for a particular director nominee is greater than the votes for such director, the director nominee will be required to submit his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board promptly following the
applicable shareholders meeting. Following receipt of resignation, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider whether or not to accept the offer of resignation and make a recommendation to the Board. Within 90 days
following the applicable shareholders meeting, the Board shall publicly disclose their decision whether to accept the applicable directors resignation or not, including the reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable. A director
who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to this policy will not be permitted to participate in any meeting of the Board or the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee at which the resignation is considered. A copy of the majority voting
policy may be found on the Postmedia website at www.postmedia.com.

The following table set forth below identifies the names
and residence of the persons proposed to be nominated for election by shareholders as directors and the date when they first became a director of Postmedia. David Emerson has decided not to stand for re-election, and therefore, his existing term
will end on the date of the Corporations 2013 annual meeting of shareholders currently scheduled for January 10, 2013. All of the nominees are currently directors of Postmedia and have been elected for a term ending on the date of the
annual meeting of shareholders, or until the election of his or her successor, unless he or she resigns or his or her office becomes vacant by reason of his or her death, removal or other cause. Each director elected will hold office for a term
expiring at the close of the next annual meeting.

Details relating to the Companys Audit Committee

Audit Committee Charter

The text of the Audit Committees charter as at October 25, 2012 is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3. The Audit Committees
charter was revised on October 25, 2012 to make minor administrative changes and remove certain responsibilities contemplated in the Audit Committees charter which resulted in overlap between the responsibilities of the Audit Committee
and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in connection with the Companys Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Composition
of the Audit Committee

The members of the Corporations Audit Committee are:



|                            |  |  |             |     |  |

Notes:

|(1) | Pursuant to Canadian Law, a member of an audit committee is Independent if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation, which could,
in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a members independent judgment.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | An individual is financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth of complexity of

The Audit Committee assists the Board in, among other things, its oversight and evaluation of:



| |  |  | the quality and integrity of the financial statements of Postmedia;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the compliance by Postmedia with legal and regulatory requirements in respect of financial disclosure;

| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the enterprise risk management process; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the performance of the Chief Financial Officer.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

In addition, the Audit Committee provides an avenue for communication between the independent auditor, the Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer and other financial staff, other
employees and the Board concerning accounting, auditing and risk management matters.

All members of the Audit Committee are
independent and financially literate as contemplated by the rules of the Canadian Securities Administrators. When considering criteria for determinations of financial literacy, Audit Committee members must be able to read and understand
a balance sheet, an income statement and cash flow statement of a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues generally comparable to the issues expected to be raised by our financial statements.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention (and termination) and oversight of the
independent auditor (including oversight of the resolution of any disagreements between senior management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purposes of preparing audit reports and performing other audit, review or
attest services. The Audit Committee has the authority to approve significant non-audit relationships with the independent auditor and the terms of and fees for audit and non-audit engagements. The Audit Committee assesses the independence of the
independent auditor and the independent auditors other relationships with Postmedia and reviews the scope and planning of the external audit, the form of audit report and any correspondence from or comment by the independent auditor regarding
financial reporting and internal controls.

##### Table of Contents

We have adopted a policy requiring Audit Committee pre-approval of audit and non-audit
services. Specifically, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services (including any internal control-related services) provided by the independent auditor (subject to any restrictions on such non-audit services
imposed by applicable legislation, regulatory requirements and policies), with such responsibility delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee to pre-approve up to $250,000 of audit fees beyond the approved annual audit fee if approval of such
fees is required between meetings of the Audit Committee.

Please see Item 16.C Principal Accountant Fees and Services
for the fees billed by the Corporations external auditors for fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 for audit and non-audit related services provided to the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The Audit Committee has unrestricted access to our personnel and documents and to the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has
primary oversight responsibility for our financial reporting and internal controls. It meets to review and discuss the annual and quarterly financial statements and accompanying managements discussion and analysis and recommend their approval
to the Board. However, it is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to determine that our financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which is the responsibility of
senior management, or to plan and conduct audits of the financial statements, which is the responsibility of the independent auditor.

The Audit Committee reviews significant accounting policies and principles and is updated regularly about current accounting issues and developments. The Audit Committee reviews the competence of key
partners and managers of the independent auditor.

The Audit Committee oversees an employee complaint procedure, pursuant to
which our directors, officers and employees and those of our subsidiaries will be encouraged to talk to supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel about observed illegal or unethical behaviour and when in doubt about the best course of
action in a particular situation. Confidential complaint procedures have been established to facilitate the submission of complaints relating to any questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters.

The Audit Committee charter provides that the Audit Committee is to meet at least quarterly and is to meet separately with senior
management periodically, and with the independent auditor as appropriate. The Audit Committee will also meet in camera at each of its meetings.

None of the members of the Audit Committee may serve on the audit committee of more than three public companies in addition to Postmedia without the prior approval of the Audit Committee, the Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board. None of the members of the Audit Committee serves on the audit committee of more than three other public companies.

Role of the Compensation and Pension Committee

The Compensation and
Pension Committee of the Board is made up of a majority of independent directors with many years of diverse business experience. The members of the Compensation and Pension Committee are Messrs. Savage (Chair), Dow, Paton, Sharpe and Steacy. Members
of the Committee have gained relevant skills and experience with respect to their responsibilities for executive compensation through holding a variety of senior executive management roles, including, for certain members, as CEO of a business with
the HR and Finance functions reporting directly to them. In connection with their past roles, most Committee members have managed and implemented a variety of compensation policies and programs. The Compensation and Pension Committee regularly
reports to the Board in carrying out its responsibilities and duties relating to compensation matters of the Company. To ensure that an objective process for determining compensation is taken, the Compensation and Pension Committee regularly holds
in camera sessions exclusive of management including directors who are members of management and consults with independent advisors in respect of compensation matters (see C. Board Practices  Role of the Independent Consultant).

Compensation and Pension Committees charter and based on input from management and the Compensation and Pension Committees independent advisor (see Role of the Independent Consultant), the Compensation and Pension Committee
reviews executive compensation and awards for each of the NEOs.

As part of the executive compensation review, the
Compensation and Pension Committee makes recommendations to the Board on compensation levels and incentive plan awards for each of the NEOs based on the guiding principles described below, with particular reference to performance measures. The
following outlines the principal responsibilities of the Committee with respect to compensation matters:



| |  |  | Review with the CEO at least annually, the long-term goals and objectives of the Company which are relevant to the CEOs compensation, evaluate
the CEOs performance in light of those goals and objectives, determine and recommend to the independent directors for approval the CEOs compensation based on that evaluation, and report to the Board of Directors thereon. In determining
the CEOs compensation, the Compensation and Pension Committee shall consider the Companys performance, the value of similar incentive awards to chief executive officers at comparable companies, the CEOs existing employment contract
and the awards given to the CEO in past years, with a view to maintaining a compensation program for the CEO at a fair and competitive level consistent with the best interests of the Company.

| |  |  | Review and make recommendations to the Board of Directors at least annually (and upon appointment), in consultation with the CEO, on the compensation
of those members of senior management that report directly to the CEO (including incentive-compensation plans, equity based plans, the terms of any employment agreements, severance arrangements, and change in control arrangements or provisions, and
any special or supplemental benefits), with a view to maintaining a compensation program for the senior management at a fair and competitive level, consistent with the best interests of the Company.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Review all executive compensation packages with annual cash compensation in excess of $300,000.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fix and determine (and, as it determines to be appropriate, delegate the authority to fix and determine) awards (and the vesting criteria thereof) to
employees of stock or stock options or other awards pursuant to any of the Companys equity-based plans now or from time to time in effect or otherwise as permitted by applicable legislation, regulatory requirements and policies and exercise
such other power and authority as may be permitted or required under those plans.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Review the efficacy of incentive compensation programs (including short-term and long-term incentive plans), and equity-based compensation programs for
the Companys directors, officers and employees, including share ownership guidelines and, when necessary, make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding, the role and design thereof.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Review the financial implications of the Companys senior compensation plans, including post-retirement benefits and supplemental employee
retirement plan and funding thereto, if any.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Review the potential results of its senior compensation programs under a wide variety of scenarios to ensure that the Committee has an understanding of
the linkage between shareholder interests and senior management payouts.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Review and approve annually any adjustments and guidelines made in respect of the Companys compensation plans.

With respect to the Corporations pension plans, the Compensation and Pension Committees principal duties are to oversee and monitor the management and overall governance of the pension and
retirement plans sponsored and administered by the Corporation.

The Compensation and Pension Committee follows corporate
governance rules and principles in reviewing and determining the executive compensation policies and programs. The Committee recognizes that the business and competitive environment in which the Company operates requires a balanced level of
risk-taking to promote growth and achieve the expected financial performance required to provide shareholders with good returns. The Committee is aware that compensation programs, policies and practices should not encourage senior executives to take
excessive and unnecessary risks. The Committee monitors this on an ongoing basis by reviewing compensation arrangements to ensure that executives do not make short-term decisions that could be detrimental to long-term shareholder returns. The
Committee reviews the performance based compensation for senior executives and in doing so, reviews the compensation mix of base salary to short-term and long-term incentives. The Company promotes adequate risk taking through the use of performance
targets for its short-term incentive plan which has predefined payout thresholds. Risk is mitigated under long-term incentives through the grant of stock options that have vesting provisions. Long-term incentives reward executives for taking a
balanced focus on long-term performance and the achievement of long-term goals over a ten year period. The Committee is satisfied that current programs, policies and practices, combined with the risk compliance reviews of the organization, promote
adequate risk taking with appropriate and reasonable incentive compensation and has not identified any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company has a policy of prohibiting its employees from purchasing financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid
variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of securities of Postmedia held, directly or indirectly, by such employees, including equity securities
granted as compensation. Such policy is contained in the Companys Timely Disclosure and Confidentiality Policy.

Role of the
Independent Consultant

The Compensation and Pension Committee engaged Hugessen Consulting Inc.
(Hugessen) on November 5, 2010 to act as its independent advisor to provide advice and guidance on compensation issues. All work undertaken by Hugessen is pre-approved by the Chair of the Compensation and Pension Committee.
Hugessen provides no other services to Postmedia. Hugessen is directly retained and instructed by and reports to the Compensation and Pension Committee. The decisions made by the Compensation and Pension Committee are the responsibility of the
Compensation and Pension Committee and may reflect other factors and considerations in addition to the information and recommendations from Hugessen.

Executive Compensation Guiding Principles

The executive compensation philosophy is based on the following guiding principles:



| |  | Creating compensation programs with appropriate levels of pay for performance to encourage and motivate performance that drives Postmedias business strategy and
generates financial results that align with shareholder interests;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Creating a total compensation package that is attractive to leaders, proportional to the executives contribution, and fair to stakeholders within the context of
financial and non-financial total rewards;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Creating compensation programs that are consistent with market practices both in terms of value and design, while considering internal value and fit;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Delivering compensation and performance management programs that focus on connecting rewards and the desired/expected behaviors, actions and results that drive a strong
return on investment at the organization level, and striving for clarity and transparency of these programs with the goal of simplifying them where possible;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Ensuring good governance of compensation programs, with accountability for design and administration held by appropriate internal stakeholders (including input from
internal and external experts) and appropriate oversight by the Compensation and Pension Committee and the Board.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the guiding principles, the following design principles are followed:



| |  | Performance is a key driver of compensation levels, both on short-term and long-term incentives;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Sound performance management processes have been developed to provide for effectiveness and consistency in defining expected performance outcomes (as embedded in
accountabilities and related goals) and assessing their achievement; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Pay at risk, as represented by short-term and long-term incentive compensation, will be proportional to the jobs level of influence on overall business results.
The Company continues to review and refine its programs, and recognizes the importance of long-term performance and therefore emphasizes rewards that align to an increase in shareholder value.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competitive Benchmarking

In October 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee requested that Hugessen assist the Committee by reviewing the competitiveness of
the compensation levels for the CEO, CFO, COO and one of the NEOs, using a comparator group of publicly listed companies. Benchmarking was not performed on one of the NEOs as at the time of the review, that senior executive was not an NEO (a midyear
stock option grant placed that senior executive in the NEO group by the end of Fiscal 2012). The compensation of that NEO was reviewed and approved by the Compensation and Pension Committee.

Hugessen selected a comparator group of companies, generally using the following four
screening criteria:



|                          |  |                                                                                  
|------------------------- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Comparator Group Criteria
|Primary Listing           |  | Toronto Stock Exchange                                                           
|Geographic Location       |  | Headquartered in Canada                                                          
|Industry Classification   |  | Media                                                                            
|Financial Criteria        |  | Latest Total Enterprise Value between approximately $400 million and $2.5 billion

The screening identified the following eleven companies:



| |  | Cogeco Inc.
| | - | -----------



| |  | AIMIA (formerly Groupe Aeroplan Inc.)
| | - | -------------------------------------



| |  | Astral Media Inc.
| | - | -----------------



| |  | Corus Entertainment Inc.
| | - | ------------------------



| |  | Cineplex Inc.
| | - | -------------



| |  | IMAX Corporation
| | - | ----------------



| |  | MDC Partners Inc.
| | - | -----------------



| |  | Mood Media Corporation
| | - | ----------------------



| |  | Torstar Corporation
| | - | -------------------



| |  | Canadian Satellite Radio
| | - | ------------------------



| |  | Glacier Media Inc.
| | - | ------------------

The
compensation review focused on the total direct compensation (TDC) composed of base salary, short-term incentives and long-term incentives received by the NEOs. For benchmarking purposes, Hugessen matched the CEO and CFO positions
with the counterparts of the comparator companies. For the remaining two NEO positions, Hugessen matched these positions based on their TDC ranking. Following a review of the benchmarking report, the Committee decided to leave the compensation
levels of the CEO, CFO and two NEOs unchanged.

D. Employees

As of August 31, 2012, the Corporation employed 3,754 full time equivalent employees. Approximately 37% of the Corporations employees are unionized under 25 separate collective agreements as of
August 31, 2012. In general, the Corporations collective bargaining agreements cover operations at individual locations, rather than multiple locations. Agreements covering approximately 161 FTEs will expire on
December 31, 2012. The Corporations remaining agreements will expire in 2013 and 2014, with the exception of one agreement that will expire in 2017.

E. Share Ownership

The following table set forth below identifies the
names and residence of those individuals who are directors and NEOs of the Corporation, their current positions or offices with the Corporation, and the number of Shares, Options, DSUs and RSUs beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or under
their direction or control as of November 15, 2012:

B. Related Party Transactions

Intercompany Reorganizations

In 2009, the Canwest Group and the LP Entities determined to undergo discrete and parallel restructurings to separate their businesses, with a view to enabling the Canwest Group and the LP Entities to
operate independently of one another as restructured enterprises. The process of disentangling certain shared services commenced in October 2009 through an internal corporate reorganization that was agreed to by the Canwest Group and the LP Entities
pursuant to the terms of a transition and reorganization agreement dated October 26, 2009 and related agreements.

monthly fee of $12,500, payable solely in cash, and 100,000 DSUs granted on July 13, 2010 and which vest in three equal installments over three years, in advance of each such year, and may be redeemed only if the Value of a Share, as defined in
the DSU plan, is at least a minimum price at the time of redemption.

Other than as disclosed in this annual report, to the
knowledge of the directors and executive officers of Postmedia, no informed person or any associate or affiliate of any informed person, has had any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or
otherwise, in any material transaction with us since September 1, 2010 or has any such interest in any proposed transaction that has materially affected or would materially affect Postmedia or our subsidiaries.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information.

Please refer to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, attached
hereto as Exhibit 15.1.

Legal Proceedings

The Corporation is involved in various legal claims arising in the ordinary course of its newspaper and digital media and online businesses. The majority of these claims are brought pursuant to defamation
legislation in the province of publication. The Corporation maintains a multi-media liability insurance policy in respect of defamation claims. Subject to the terms and conditions of that policy, and the insurers coverage position in respect
of individual claims, the resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporations consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The CEP Application

On
May 25, 2011, the Corporation was made aware of an application (the CEP Application) brought on April 20, 2011 by the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada, Local 145 (the
CEP) against the Minister of Heritage under the Federal Courts Act seeking an order to quash his decision not to conduct a review of the Acquisition under the Investment Canada Act and seeking an order for such a
review to be conducted by the Minister of Heritage. In the alternative, the CEP Application sought an order directing the Minister of Heritage to reconsider his decision not to review the Acquisition, together with directions for the
reconsideration. On March 15, 2012, CEP amended its application. The amended application is confined to requesting that the Minister of Heritage (a) determine whether he is satisfied that the Corporation is, in fact, a non-Canadian
controlled entity; and (b) if he is so satisfied, review the Acquisition for whether it is likely to be of net benefit to Canada based on the factors

articulated in section 20 of the Investment Canada Act. The application is scheduled for hearing on January 8, 2013. The Corporation is of the view that it is a Canadian
controlled entity for purposes of the Investment Canada Act and, as such, it is not subject to the Investment Canada Act and, if necessary, it intends to defend its interests in connection with these proceedings.

In addition, CEP alleges that newspapers owned by Postmedia did not meet the definition of Canadian newspapers for purposes
of the Tax Act at the end of a grace period that ran until the end of July 31, 2011. However, Postmedia believes that, upon the listing of the Shares on the TSX that occurred on June 14, 2011, its newspapers met the definition of
Canadian newspapers for purposes of the Tax Act. Postmedia intends to protect its interests in connection with the subject matter of these proceedings, although no assurance is given as to the outcome.

B. Significant Changes.

In September 2012, the Corporation settled a notional amount of US$97.5 million of the foreign currency interest rate swap associated with
the Second-Lien Notes for cash consideration of $9.6 million.

On November 13, 2012, the net proceeds from the sale of
the Toronto Head Office were used for a mandatory redemption of $23.2 million aggregate principal amount of First-Lien Notes at par in accordance with the terms and conditions of the First-Lien Notes indenture. See Item 4.A History and
Development of the Corporation  Signficant Post-Acquisition Events.

##### Table of Contents

No further changes have been made to the Companys Articles/Bylaws. The Companys
Articles do not place any restrictions on the business that the Company may carry on.

Certain Powers of Directors

The Canada Business Corporations Act(the CBCA) requires that every director who is a party to a
material contract or transaction or a proposed material contract or transaction with a corporation, or who is a director or officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract or transaction or a proposed
material contract or transaction with the corporation, shall disclose in writing to the corporation or request to have entered in the minutes of the meetings of directors the nature and extent of his or her interest, and shall refrain from voting in
respect of the material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction is: (a) one relating primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or an affiliate; (b) one for indemnity of or insurance for directors as contemplated under the CBCA; or (c) one with an affiliate. However, a director who is prohibited by the CBCA from voting on a material contract or proposed
material contract may be counted in determining whether a quorum is present for the purpose of the resolution, if the director disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the CBCA, the directors approved the contract or transaction, and the
contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the corporation at the time it was approved. The Companys by-laws provide that the directors shall from time to time determine by resolution the remuneration to be paid to the directors, which
shall be in addition to the salary paid to any officer or employee of the Company who is also a director.

The directors may also by
resolution award special remuneration to any director in undertaking any special services on the Companys behalf other than the normal work ordinarily required of a director of the Company. The by-laws provide that confirmation of any such
resolution by the Companys shareholders is not required.

The CBCA provides that, unless otherwise provided in the
Companys articles or by-laws, the directors may: (a) borrow money on the credit of the Company; (b) issue, reissue, sell, pledge or hypothecate debt obligations of the Company; (c) give a guarantee on behalf of the Company to
secure performance of an obligation of any person; and (d) mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest in all or any property of the Company, owned or subsequently acquired, to secure any obligation of the Company.

The directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any by-laws that regulate the business or affairs of the Company. The
CBCA requires the directors to submit any such amendment or repeal to the Companys shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the by-law, amendment or repeal.

Meetings of Shareholders

The CBCA requires the Company to call an annual shareholders meeting not later than 15 months after holding the last preceding
annual meeting but no later than six months after the end of the Companys preceding financial year and permits the Company to call a special shareholders meeting at any time. In addition, in accordance with the CBCA, the holders of not
less than 5% of the Companys shares carrying the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a shareholders meeting for the purposes stated in the requisition. The Company is required to mail a
notice of meeting and management information circular to registered shareholders not less than 21 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date of any annual or special shareholders meeting. These materials also are filed with Canadian
securities regulatory authorities and the SEC. The Companys by-laws provide that a quorum of two shareholders in person or represented by proxy holding or representing by proxy not less than 10% of the Companys issued shares carrying the
right to vote at the meeting is required to transact business at a shareholders meeting. Shareholders, and their duly appointed proxies and corporate representatives, as well as the Companys auditors, are entitled to be admitted to the
Companys annual and special shareholders meetings.

##### Table of Contents

Disclosure of Share Ownership

The Securities Act(Ontario) provides that a person or company that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting
securities of an issuer or that exercises control or direction over voting securities of an issuer or a combination of both, carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all the issuers outstanding voting securities (a
reporting insider) must, within 10 days of becoming a reporting insider, file a report in the required form disclosing the reporting insiders (i) beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, whether direct or
indirect, securities of the issuer and (ii) any interest in, or right or obligation associated with, a related financial instrument involving a security of the issuer. The Securities Act(Ontario) also provides for the filing
of a report by a reporting insider of a reporting issuer in respect of a change in the reporting insiders (i) beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, whether direct or indirect, securities of the reporting issuer or
(ii) interest in, or right or obligation associated with, a related financial instrument involving a security of the reporting issuer. This report must be filed within 5 days after the date on which the change occurs. The Securities
Act(Ontario) also provides that a person or company that acquires beneficial ownership of, or the power to exercise control or direction over, voting or equity securities of any class or securities convertible into voting or equity
securities of any class of a reporting issuer that, together with previously held securities brings the total holdings of such holder to 10% or more of the outstanding securities of that class, must (a) promptly issue and file a news release
containing the prescribed information and (b) file a report within two business days from the date of the acquisition containing the same information set out in the news release. The acquiring person or company must also issue a press release
and file a report each time it acquires an additional 2% or more of the outstanding securities of the same class and every time there is a material change to the contents of the news release and report previously issued and filed.

Dividends

The Corporation has not paid dividends and its current intention is not to declare dividends for the foreseeable future. Any future
determination to pay cash dividends is at the discretion of the Board and will depend on Postmedias financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board deems relevant. Pursuant to the CBCA, the
Corporation may not declare or pay a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (i) the Corporation is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of its
assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes. There are also certain restrictions in the agreements relating to the ABL Facility, the First-Lien Notes and the Second-Lien Notes which limit the
ability of the Corporation to pay dividends.

Authorized CapitalGeneral

The Corporations authorized capital consists of two classes: Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares. The Corporation is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares. As of November 15, 2012, there were 1,298,830 Voting Shares and 39,024,340 Variable Voting Shares issued and outstanding. A summary of the rights attaching to the Voting
Shares and Variable Voting Shares are set forth below.

Rights upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up

Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any future shares of the Corporation ranking senior to the
Voting Shares, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or other distribution of the Corporations assets among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of the Voting Shares and Variable
Voting Shares shall be entitled to share equally, share for share, in all distributions of such assets.

##### Table of Contents

Voting Shares

Voting rights

Holders of the Voting Shares shall be entitled to receive
notice of, and to attend and vote at, all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation (except where the holders of a specified class are entitled to vote separately as a class as provided in the CBCA), and each Voting Share shall confer the
right to one vote in person or by proxy at all meetings of shareholders of the Corporation.

Dividends

Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of the Corporation of any future class ranking
senior to the Voting Shares, the holders of the Voting Shares shall, at the discretion of the directors, be entitled to receive, out of monies, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, any dividends
declared and payable by the Corporation on the Voting Shares. The Voting Shares shall rank equally as to dividends on a share-for-share basis with the Variable Voting Shares and all dividends declared in any fiscal year of the Corporation shall be
declared in equal or equivalent amounts per share on all Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares at the time outstanding, without preference or distinction.

Subdivision or consolidation

No subdivision or consolidation of the Voting
Shares or the Variable Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the shares of the other class are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner, so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the
said classes.

Conversion

An issued and outstanding Voting Share shall be converted into one Variable Voting Share, automatically and without any further act of the Corporation or the holder, if such Voting Share becomes held or
beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, otherwise than by way of security only, by one or more persons who are citizens or subjects of a country other than Canada or are controlled by one or more citizens or subjects of a country
other than Canada (each a Non-Canadian). In addition to the automatic conversion feature, a holder of Voting Shares shall have the option at any time to convert some or all of such shares into Variable Voting Shares on a
one-for-one basis and to convert those shares back to Voting Shares on a one-for-one basis.

Constraints on ownership of shares

The Voting Shares may only be beneficially owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by persons that are not
Non-Canadian.

Variable Voting Shares

General

The Variable Voting Shares have identical terms as the Voting
Shares and rank equally with respect to voting, dividends and rights upon liquidation, distribution and winding up, except that Variable Voting Shares shall not carry one vote per Variable Voting Share if:



| | (a) | the number of issued and outstanding Variable Voting Shares exceeds 49.9% of the total number of all issued and outstanding Shares; or
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | the total number of votes that may be cast by or on behalf of holders of Variable Voting Shares present at any meeting of holders of Shares exceeds 49.9% of the total
number of votes that may be cast by all holders of Shares present and entitled to vote at such meeting.

##### Table of Contents

If either of the above-noted thresholds is surpassed at any time, the vote attached to each
Variable Voting Share will decrease automatically and without further act or formality, to equal the maximum permitted vote per Variable Voting Share as indicated below. Under the circumstance described in subparagraph (a) above, the Variable
Voting Shares as a class cannot carry more than 49.9% of the aggregate votes. Under the circumstance described in subparagraph (b) above, the Variable Voting Shares as a class cannot, for the applicable shareholders meeting, carry more
than 49.9% of the total number of votes that can be cast at the meeting.

Conversion

An issued and outstanding Variable Voting Share shall be converted into one Voting Share, automatically and without any further act of the
Corporation or the holder, if (a) such Variable Voting Share is not or ceases to be beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, otherwise than by way of security only, by one or more Non-Canadians, unless such Variable Voting
Shares resulted from the exercise of a voluntary election to convert a Voting Share into a Variable Voting Share, or (b)(i) the foreign ownership restrictions of the Tax Act are repealed and not replaced with other similar restrictions in the
Tax Act or other applicable legislation and (ii) there is no Canadian federal or provincial law applicable to the Corporation prescribed for the purposes of subsection 46(1) or paragraph 174(1)(c) of the CBCA or any other similar provision in
the CBCA or the CBCA Regulations.

Coattail Provision

In the event that an offer is made to purchase Voting Shares or Variable Voting Shares and the offer is one which must, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on
which the Shares are then listed, be made to all or substantially all the holders of the Shares of such class, and a concurrent offer at an equal price and with identical terms (subject to certain exceptions) is not made to purchase the Shares of
such other class, each Variable Voting Share or Voting Share, as the case may be, shall become convertible at the option of the holder into one Share of the other class that shall be subject to the offer at any time while the offer is in effect. The
conversion right may only be exercised in respect of Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Shares in response to the offer and a Canadian trustee designated by the Corporation shall deposit the resulting Shares on behalf of the
shareholder.

If the Shares resulting from the conversion and deposited pursuant to the offer are withdrawn from the offer or
are not taken up by the offeror or if the offer is abandoned or withdrawn, the Shares resulting from the conversion shall be reconverted back into the original class automatically and without further act from the Corporation or the holder.

Declaration as to Canadian Status

Under the Corporations articles of incorporation, the directors may, prior to the issuance of any Shares or the registration or transfer of any Shares, require that there be submitted to the
Corporation and/or its transfer agent, a declaration setting forth the name of the person who beneficially will own or control such Shares and whether or not such person is a Non-Canadian, as well as such other information as the Board considers
relevant for purposes of determining whether that person is in compliance with the restrictions on issue or transfer of the Shares.

In order to ensure it complies with its share ownership restrictions, Postmedia has in place special operating procedures for monitoring share ownership that are designed to ensure that the share register
of each of the Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares remains accurate. These procedures establish that Computershare Investor Services Inc., the Corporations transfer agent, will make periodic inquiries of intermediaries holding Voting
Shares for non-registered holders to ensure compliance with shareholding ownership requirements.

##### Table of Contents

Shareholder Rights Plan

The Postmedia Rights Plan was entered into on November 8, 2010 and was ratified by shareholders of the Corporation at the annual and special meeting of the Corporation on February 24, 2011.

The following is a summary of the key features of the Postmedia Rights Plan. This summary does not purport to be complete and
is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Postmedia Rights Plan, the full text of which is available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. on the EDGAR website at www.sec.gov and on Postmedias website
at www.postmedia.com. (Capitalized terms used in this section not otherwise defined herein have the meaning attributed to them in the Postmedia Rights Plan).

Issuance of Rights

One Right has been issued by Postmedia in respect of
each Voting Share and Variable Voting Share outstanding at the Effective Time and will continue to be issued in respect of each Voting Share and Variable Voting Share issued thereafter and prior to the earlier of the Separation Time and the
Expiration Time. Under the Postmedia Rights Plan, the Rights are confirmed and Postmedia confirms its authorization to continue the issuance of new Rights for each Voting Share and Variable Voting Share issued. Each Right entitles the registered
holder thereof to purchase from Postmedia one Voting Share or Variable Voting Share, as the case may be. The exercise price under the Postmedia Rights Plan is an amount equal to three times the Market Price, from time to time, per Voting Share or
Variable Voting Share, as the case may be. The Rights are not exercisable until the Separation Time. If a Flip-In Event occurs, each Right will entitle the registered holder to receive, upon payment of the Exercise Price, the number of Voting Shares
or Variable Voting Shares, as applicable, having an aggregate Market Price on the date of consummation or occurrence of such Flip-in Event equal to ten times the relevant Exercise Price for an amount in cash equal to the relevant Exercise Price.

Under the Postmedia Rights Plan, Postmedia is not required to issue or deliver Rights, or securities issuable upon the
exercise of Rights, outside of Canada, where such issuance or delivery would be unlawful without registration of the relevant Persons or securities. If the Postmedia Rights Plan would require compliance with securities laws or comparable legislation
of a jurisdiction outside of Canada, Postmedia may establish procedures for the issuance to a Canadian resident fiduciary of such securities, to hold such Rights or other securities in trust for the Persons beneficially entitled to them, to sell
such securities, and to remit the proceeds to such Persons.

Trading of Rights

Until the Separation Time (or the earlier termination or expiration of the Rights), the Rights will be evidenced by the certificates
representing Voting Shares or Variable Voting Shares, as the case may be, and will be transferable only together with such associated shares. From and after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, separate certificates evidencing the
Rights (Rights Certificates), together with a disclosure statement prepared by Postmedia describing the Rights, will be mailed to holders of record of Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares (other than an Acquiring Person) as of
the Separation Time. Rights Certificates will also be issued in respect of Voting Share and Variable Voting Share issued prior to the Expiration Time, to each holder (other than an Acquiring Person) converting, after the Separation Time, securities
(Convertible Securities) convertible into or exchangeable for Voting Shares or Variable Voting Shares. The Rights will trade separately from the Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares, as the case may be, after the Separation
Time.

##### Table of Contents

Separation Time

The Separation Time is the close of business on the tenth Business Day after the earlier of (i) the Share Acquisition Date, which is generally the first date of public announcement of facts
indicating that a Person has become an Acquiring Person; and (ii) the date of the commencement of, or first public announcement of the intent of any Person (other than Postmedia or any Subsidiary of Postmedia) to commence a Take-over Bid (other
than a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid, so long as such bid continues to satisfy the requirements of a Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid). In either case, the Separation Time can be such later date as may be determined by the Board
acting in good faith. If a Take-over Bid expires, is cancelled, terminated or otherwise withdrawn prior to the Separation Time, it will be deemed never to have been made.

Acquiring Person

In general, an Acquiring Person is a Person

Shares or Convertible Securities by way of prospectus or private placement by Postmedia, provided that the Person does not thereby acquire (or is deemed to Beneficially Own) a greater percentage of Voting Shares or Variable Voting Shares so offered

Beneficial Ownership

In general, a Person is deemed to Beneficially Own
Voting Shares or Variable Voting Shares actually held by others in circumstances where those holdings are or should be grouped together for purposes of the Postmedia Rights Plan. Included are holdings by the Persons Affiliates (generally, a
person that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another person) and Associates (generally, relatives sharing the same residence). Also included are securities which the Person or any of the Persons Affiliates or
Associates has the right to acquire within 60 days (other than (i) customary agreements with and between underwriters and/or banking group and/or selling group members with respect to a public offering or private placement of securities; or
(ii) pursuant to a pledge of securities in the ordinary course of the pledgees business) including Voting Shares into which Variable Voting Shares held by a citizen or subject of Canada are convertible pursuant to the Corporations
Constating Documents and the share provisions contained therein; provided, however, that a Non-Canadian who holds Variable Voting Shares will not be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of, have Beneficial Ownership of or
Beneficially Own any Voting Shares into which the Variable Voting Shares owned by such Person are convertible.

##### Table of Contents

A Person is also deemed to Beneficially Own any securities that are Beneficially
Owned (as described above) by any other Person with which the Person is acting jointly or in concert (a Joint Actor). A Person is a Joint Actor with any Person who is a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with the
first Person or an Associate or Affiliate thereof for the purpose of acquiring or offering to acquire Shares.

Institutional Shareholder
Exemptions from Beneficial Ownership

The definition of Beneficial Ownership contains several exclusions
whereby a Person is not considered to Beneficially Own a security. There are exemptions from the deemed Beneficial Ownership provisions for institutional investors acting in the ordinary course of business. These exemptions
apply to: (i) an investment manager (Investment Manager) which holds securities in the ordinary course of business in the performance of its duties for the account of any other Person (a Client), including
the acquisition or holding of securities for non-discretionary accounts held on behalf of a Client by a broker or dealer registered under applicable securities law, provided, however, that for greater certainty, Investment Manager does not include a
hedge fund, a private equity fund or similar fund or entity or any Person who manages any of the foregoing; (ii) a licensed trust company (Trust Company) acting as trustee or administrator or in a similar capacity in relation
to the estates of deceased or incompetent persons (each an Estate Account) or in relation to other accounts (each an Other Account) and which holds such security in the ordinary course of its duties for such
accounts; (iii) the administrator or the trustee (a Plan Trustee) of one or more pension funds or plans (a Pension Plan) registered under applicable law; (iv) a Person who is a Pension Plan or is a
Person established by statute (the Statutory Body), and its ordinary business or activity includes the management of investment funds for employee benefit plans, pension plans, insurance plans or various public bodies; or
(v) a Crown agent or agency. The foregoing exemptions only apply so long as the Investment Manager, the Trust Company, the Plan Trustee, the Pension Plan, the Statutory Body or the Crown agent or agency is not then making or has not then
announced an intention to make a Take-over Bid alone or acting jointly or in concert with any other Person, other than an Offer to Acquire Voting Shares or Variable Voting Shares or other securities pursuant to a distribution by Postmedia or by
means of ordinary market transactions.

A Person will not be deemed to Beneficially Own a security because
(i) the Person is a Client of the same Investment Manager, an Estate Account or an Other Account of the same Trust Company, or Pension Plan with the same Plan Trustee as another Person or Pension Plan on whose account the Investment Manager,
Trust Company or Plan Trustee, as the case may be, holds such security; or (ii) the Person is a Client of an Investment Manager, Estate Account, Other Account or Pension Plan, and the security is owned at law or in equity by the Investment
Manager, Trust Company or Plan Trustee, as the case may be.

Flip-In Event

A Flip-In Event occurs when any Person becomes an Acquiring Person. In the event that, prior to the Expiration Time, a Flip-In Event which
has not been waived by the Board (whether before or after the occurrence of such Flip-In Event) occurs (see Waiver of Flip-In Events below), each Right (except for Rights Beneficially Owned or which may thereafter be Beneficially Owned
by an Acquiring Person or a transferee of such a Person, which Rights will become null and void) will constitute the right to purchase from Postmedia, upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of the Postmedia Rights Plan, that number of
Voting Shares or Variable Voting Shares, as applicable, having an aggregate Market Price on the date of the Flip-In Event equal to ten times the Exercise Price, for the Exercise Price (such Right being subject to anti-dilution adjustments).

for not less than 10 Business Days from the date of such public announcement.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Competing Permitted Bid is a
Take-over Bid that is made after a Permitted Bid or another Competing Permitted Bid has been made but prior to its expiry, satisfies all the requirements of a Permitted Bid as described above, except that a Competing Permitted Bid is not required to
remain open for 60 days so long as it is open until the later of (i) the earliest date on which securities may be taken-up or paid for under any earlier Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid that is in existence; and (ii) 35 days (or
such other minimum period of days as may be prescribed by applicable law in Ontario) after the date of the Take-over Bid constituting the Competing Permitted Bid.

Redemption and Termination of Rights



| | (a) | Redemption of Rights on Approval of Holders of Shares and Rights. The Board may, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, elect to redeem all but
not less than all of the outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.000001 per Right, appropriately adjusted for anti-dilution as provided in the Postmedia Rights Plan (the Redemption Price).
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | Redemption of Rights on Withdrawal or Termination of Bid. Where a Take-over Bid that is not a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid expires, is terminated
or is otherwise withdrawn after the Separation Time and prior to the occurrence of a Flip-In Event, the Board may elect to redeem all of the outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price. In such event, all the provisions of the Postmedia Rights Plan
shall continue to apply as if the Separation Time had not occurred and Rights Certificates representing the number of Rights held by each holder of record of Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares as of the Separation Time had not been mailed to
each such holder and, for all purposes of the Postmedia Rights Plan, the Separation Time shall be deemed not to have occurred and Rights shall remain attached to the outstanding Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the Board is deemed to have elected or elects to redeem the Rights as described above, the right to exercise the Rights will
thereupon, without further action and without notice, terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price. Within 10 Business Days of any such election or deemed election to redeem the Rights,
Postmedia will notify the holders of the Shares or, after the Separation Time, the holders of the Rights.

Waiver of Flip-In Events

The Board may waive the application of the events that occur under a Flip-in Event (see Shareholder Rights Plan
 Flip-In Event above) to any Flip-in Event by written notice delivered to the Rights Agent and in the event of such waiver, the Flip-in Event shall be deemed never to have occurred and, if such waiver is provided after the Separation
Time, all the provisions of Postmedia Rights Plan shall continue to apply as if the Separation Time had not occurred and Rights Certificates representing the number of Rights held by each holder of record of Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares
as of the Separation Time had not been mailed to each such holder, and the Separation Time shall be deemed not to have occurred and Rights shall remain attached to the outstanding Voting Shares and Variable Voting Shares.

C. Material Contracts

Term Loan Facility

On
July 13, 2010, Postmedia Network Inc. entered into a senior secured term loan credit facility (the Term Loan Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, Morgan Stanley Senior
Funding, Inc. as syndication agent, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, Postmedia Network Canada Corp. as guarantor and certain lenders from time to time
party thereto. The proceeds from the issuance of the First-Lien Notes on August 16, 2012, described below, were used to repay amounts then outstanding on the Term Loan Facility of $238.3 million (US$240.0 million).

First-Lien Notes Indenture

On August 16, 2012, Postmedia Network Inc. issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of First-Lien Notes. The First-Lien Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of August 16, 2012
with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee and as collateral agent and Postmedia Network Canada Corp. as guarantor. The First-Lien Notes are secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all of the assets of Postmedia Network Inc.
(other than the ABL Collateral then owned or thereafter acquired by Postmedia Network Inc. and the guarantors thereunder) (the First-Lien Notes Collateral) and on a second-priority basis by the ABL Collateral. The First-Lien Notes
indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the issuers ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem certain indebtedness or capital stock, make loans and
investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, alter the businesses it conducts, enter into agreements restricting its subsidiaries ability to pay dividends, consolidate, merge or sell all or

ABL Facility

On July 13, 2010, Postmedia entered into a four year senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in the aggregate amount of $60 million (such revolving credit facility, together with a $10
million letter of credit sub-facility,the ABL Facility), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a revolving credit agreement (the ABL Credit Agreement) among Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as
administrative agent, collateral agent, joint collateral agent, co-syndication agent and paying agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. as co-syndication agent, Wells Fargo Capital Finance Corporation of Canada, as joint collateral agent and
co-documentation agent, Royal Bank of Canada as co-documentation agent, Postmedia Network Canada Corp. as guarantor and certain lenders party thereto. The Corporation has the option of two interest rates for borrowings under the ABL Facility with
such rates being the Canadian prime rate plus a margin of 2.75% per annum (such margin may be reduced to 2.50% in certain events when the average availability under the ABL Facility is greater than $30 million at the end of the relevant fiscal
quarter) and a CDOR rate plus a margin of 3.75% per annum (such margin may be reduced to 3.50% in certain events when the average availability under the ABL Facility is greater than $30 million at the end of the relevant fiscal quarter). The
maximum amount that Postmedia may borrow under the ABL Facility is the Borrowing Base.

The ABL Facility is secured on a
third-priority basis by the First-Lien Notes Collateral (as defined below) and on a first-priority basis by the ABL Collateral. The proceeds of the loans under the ABL Facility are permitted to be used to finance the working capital needs and
general corporate purposes of Postmedia Network Inc. and any subsidiaries. As at August 31, 2012, no amounts were drawn under the ABL Facility.

On August 8, 2012, Postmedia entered into a first amendment of its ABL Credit Agreement in order to clarify certain provisions with respect to the First-Lien Notes and amend the provision entitled
Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

The Registration Rights Agreement

On July 13, 2010, Postmedia entered into a registration rights agreement with GoldenTree. Under the agreement, GoldenTree was granted
demand registration rights pursuant to which GoldenTree may require Postmedia to file a prospectus with the Canadian securities administrators qualifying the Shares owned by GoldenTree for sale in Canada. The agreement also grants piggyback
registration rights to GoldenTree in the event that Postmedia proposes to distribute Shares by way of a prospectus, which rights allow GoldenTree to require Postmedia in certain circumstances to include Shares owned by GoldenTree in such prospectus
distribution.

D. Exchange Controls.

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to
non-resident holders of the Companys common shares other than withholding tax requirements. (E.g., Remittances of dividends to United States residents are generally subject to a 15% withholding tax (5% if the shareholder is a company
beneficially owning at least 10% of the common shares of the Company) pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal treaty between Canada and the United States.

As described in greater detail in Item 10.B, the Voting Shares may only be beneficially owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by persons that are not Non-Canadian. Except for the restrictions
on ownership described under Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association and except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the ICA), there are no provisions under the laws of Canada or in the Articles of the Company
restricting the right of foreigners to hold or vote the common shares of the Company.

Under the ICA, certain transactions
involving the acquisition of control of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian that exceed prescribed monetary thresholds are subject to review and cannot be implemented unless the applicable Minister responsible for the ICA is satisfied that the
acquisition is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. The Minister of Canadian Heritage (for cultural businesses) and the Minister of Industry (for all other activities) are the two Ministers who are responsible for reviewing transactions. Where a
transaction is subject to the review requirement (a Reviewable Transaction), an application for review must be filed with the applicable Director of Investments appointed by the responsible Minister prior to the implementation of
the Reviewable Transaction. The responsible Minister is then required to determine whether the Reviewable Transaction is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, taking into account the application for review, any written undertakings from the
investor and the prescribed factors of assessment set out in the ICA.

The monetary threshold for the review of Canadian
businesses carrying on a cultural business within the meaning of the ICA is $5 million. The Company carries on a cultural business within the meaning of the ICA. An acquisition of control of the Company by a non-Canadian
would be a Reviewable Transaction if the value of the assets of the Company equalled or exceeded $5 million. The transaction would also be a Reviewable Transaction even if the Companys assets were less than $5 million if the Governor in
Council (the Canadian federal cabinet) elected to review the transaction. In this latter case, the transaction could be implemented prior to such determination.

The ICA sets out rules to determine, inter alia, who is a non-Canadian and whether there has been an acquisition of control of a Canadian business. Notwithstanding these rules, under the ICA, where a
transaction involves a Canadian business which carries on a cultural business, the Minister of Canadian Heritage has discretion to make a determination that an investor which may qualify as a Canadian under the rules is in fact a
non-Canadian and that there has been in fact an acquisition of control of the Canadian business notwithstanding that there may not have been an acquisition of control under the other provisions of the ICA.

E. Taxation.

Material Canadian
Federal Income Tax Consequences for United States Residents

The following summarizes the material Canadian federal income
tax consequences generally applicable to the holding and disposition of our shares by a holder (in this summary, a U.S. holder), who, (a) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the Tax Act), and
at all relevant times, is not resident in Canada, deals at arms length with us, is not affiliated with us, holds our shares as capital property and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold our shares in the course of carrying on,
or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada, and (b) for the purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the Treaty), and at all relevant times, is a resident of the U.S. and is a
qualifying person for purposes of the Treaty. This summary does not apply to traders or dealers in

##### Table of Contents

securities, limited liability companies, tax-exempt entities, insurers, financial institutions (including those to which the mark-to-market provisions of the Tax Act apply), or any other holder
in special circumstances. This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act including all regulations thereunder, the Treaty, all proposed amendments to the Tax Act, the regulations and the Treaty publicly announced by the Government of
Canada to the date hereof, and our understanding of the current administrative practices and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency. It has been assumed that all currently proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed and that there will
be no other relevant change in any governing law or administrative practice, although no assurances can be given in these respects. The summary does not take into account Canadian provincial, U.S. federal, state or other foreign income tax law or
practice. The tax consequences to any particular U.S. holder will vary according to the status of that holder as an individual, trust, corporation, partnership or other entity, the jurisdictions in which that holder is subject to taxation, and
generally according to that holders particular circumstances. Accordingly, this summary is not, and is not to be construed as, Canadian tax advice to any particular U.S. holder. All U.S. holders are advised to consult with their own tax
advisors regarding their particular circumstances. The discussion below is qualified accordingly.

Dividends

Dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, to a U.S. holder by us will be subject to Canadian withholding tax under the
Tax Act at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividends, unless reduced under an applicable tax treaty. Under the Treaty, the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. holder that is the beneficial owner of such dividends is
generally limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividends (or 5% if the U.S. holder is a company which beneficially owns at least 10% of our voting shares). We will be required to withhold the applicable withholding tax from any dividend and
remit it to the Canadian government for the U.S. holders account.

Disposition

For purposes of the following discussion, we have assumed that our shares will remain listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. A U.S. holder
is not subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition of our shares in the open market unless the shares constitute taxable Canadian property to the holder thereof and the U.S. holder is not
entitled to relief under the Treaty. Our shares will constitute taxable Canadian property to a U.S. holder if, at any time during the 60 month period preceding the disposition, the U.S. holder or persons with whom the U.S. holder did not deal at
arms length alone or together owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of our capital stock, and more than 50% of the fair market value of such shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from any one or a combination of
(i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) Canadian resource properties, (iii) timber resource properties, and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil rights law rights in, property described in any
of (i) to (iii), whether or not that property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in other specific circumstances, including where shares were acquired for other securities in a tax-deferred transaction, our shares could be deemed to be
taxable Canadian property.

If our shares constitute taxable Canadian property to the U.S. holder, the U.S. holder will
(unless relieved under the Treaty) be subject to Canadian income tax on any gain realized. The taxpayers capital gain (or loss) from a disposition of the shares is the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition exceed (or are
exceeded by) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the shares and reasonable expenses of disposition. One-half of the capital gain is included in income. Under the Treaty, the U.S. holder will generally be exempt from Canadian tax on any
capital gain realized on a disposition of our shares provided that, at the time of the disposition, the shares do not derive their value principally from real property situated in Canada.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls
and Procedures

As required by Rule 15d-15 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, management
has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures
refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of August 31, 2012, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

Internal controls over financial reporting have been designed by management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the
Corporations Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Corporations financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:



| |  |  | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable
IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To evaluate the effectiveness of the Corporations
internal control over financial reporting, Management has used the Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, which is a suitable, recognized control framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective as of August 31, 2012.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Corporations management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure
controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the
design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can
occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design safeguards into the process to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Attestation Report of the Registered Accounting Firm

This annual report
does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm
pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012, there were no changes in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 15T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ITEM 16. [RESERVED]

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Postmedias board of directors has determined that it has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit
Committee. Each of Mr. Steacy, Ms. Burke, and Messrs. Emerson and Savage has been determined to by the board to be an audit committee financial expert. Each of Mr. Steacy, Ms. Burke, and Messrs. Emerson and Savage are
independent under Canadian securities law.

Under SEC rules, the designation of persons as audit committee
financial experts does not make them experts for any other purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on them that are greater than those imposed on members of their committee and the Board of Directors who do not carry this
designation or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of their committee.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

Postmedia has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to all directors, officers and employees of our Company, its
subsidiaries and affiliates and other persons in similar relationships with those entities. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is provided to all directors, officers and employees and is further available on Postmedias website at
www.postmedia.com. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics addresses such matters as compliance with laws, conflicts of interest, confidential information, protection and proper use of Postmedia assets and the reporting of illegal and unethical
behaviour.

We encourage personnel who become aware of a conflict or potential conflict or departures from the Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics to bring it to the attention of a supervisor or department head. We have also established additional procedures for confidential and anonymous reporting of complaints concerning accounting, internal accounting controls,
auditing matters and breaches of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Board requires every director and executive officer to disclose any direct or indirect conflict of interest that he or she has, and obtains formal confirmation of
compliance with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics annually from directors, officers and a group of senior managers from across the Company that includes direct reports to officers of Postmedia.

Any waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors or members of senior management may only be granted by the Board (or
a Committee to whom that authority has been delegated), while any waiver for all other employees may only be made by the President and CEO.

In order to help ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering any transaction or agreement in which a director or executive officer has a material interest, any director or executive
officer with such an interest is expected to declare the interest and would generally not be present for any discussion or vote regarding the matter.

The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed as exhibit 10.7 to the Companys Registration Statement on form F-4, filed with the SEC on June 8, 2011.
