THE COMPANY The Company is the largest media and entertainment company in the world. Its businesses are conducted in five principal areas: Publishing, Music, Filmed Entertainment, Programming-HBO and Cable. Publishing consists principally of the publication and distribution of magazines and books; Music consists principally of the production and distribution of recorded music and the ownership and administration of music copyrights; Filmed Entertainment consists principally of the production and distribution of motion pictures and television programming, the distribution of video cassettes and the ownership and operation of retail stores and theme parks; Programming-HBO consists principally of the production and distribution of pay television and cable programming; and Cable consists principally of the operation of cable television systems. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1983 and is the successor to a New York corporation that was originally organized in 1922. The Company changed its name from Time Incorporated to Time Warner Inc. following its acquisition of 59.3% of the common stock of Warner Communications Inc. ("WCI") in July 1989. WCI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in January 1990 upon the completion of the merger of WCI and a subsidiary of the Company. Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE") was formed as a Delaware limited partnership in 1992 to own and operate substantially all of the Filmed Entertainment, Programming-HBO and Cable businesses owned and operated by the Company prior to such date. The Company and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Time Warner General Partners") collectively own 74.49% of the pro rata priority capital and residual equity interests in TWE and a wholly owned subsidiary of U S WEST, Inc. owns pro rata priority capital and residual equity interests in TWE of 25.51%. In addition, the Time Warner General Partners directly or indirectly own priority capital interests senior and junior to the pro rata priority capital interests. The Company has agreed to acquire Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. ("TBS") in a transaction in which both the Company and TBS will become wholly owned subsidiaries of a new holding company ("New Time Warner") and enter into certain related transactions (the "TBS Transaction"). The TBS Transaction is described in the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated November 14, 1995, and December 1, 1995. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 75 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10019, and its telephone number is (212) 484-8000. USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale from time to time of the Common Stock offered hereby. All proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby will be for the account of the Selling Shareholders, as described below. See "Selling Shareholders" and "Plan of Distribution" described below. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON STOCK The following general summary of the Common Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), which is an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The Company is authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation to issue 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. On September 30, 1995, 387,404,816 shares of Common Stock (excluding approximately 45.7 million shares of Common Stock held as treasury shares by the Company, as to which approximately 43.7 million were held by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company) were issued and outstanding and approximately 148 million shares were reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and conversion of outstanding convertible securities. Also, as of the date of this Prospectus, 464,638 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, 3,264,508 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 11,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, 6,200,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, 1,800,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock and 7,000,000 shares of Series I Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the Company will have outstanding approximately 2.9 million additional shares of Common Stock, 3.25 million shares of Series E Preferred Stock and approximately 3.23 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Series C, D, E, F, G, H and I Preferred Stock are or will be, as the case may be, convertible in the aggregate into approximately 74.1 million shares of Common Stock. Each such series of Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $100 per share and will receive, for a period of five years with respect to the Series C and E Preferred Stock and for a period of four years with respect to the Series D, F, G, H and I Preferred Stock, an annual dividend per share equal to the greater of $3.75 and an amount equal to the dividends paid on the Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock may be converted. The Series C, D, E, F, G and I Preferred Stock are or will be, as the case may be, entitled to vote with the Common Stock on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and will have two votes per share in any such matter. For a discussion of the Series C, D, E, F, G, H and I Preferred Stock reference is made to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 14, 1995. Upon the consummation of the TBS Transaction, each outstanding share of Time Warner capital stock will be converted into one share of a substantially identical series of New Time Warner capital stock and New Time Warner will issue an additional 171.3 million shares of common stock and approximately 13 million stock options in exchange for the outstanding shares of TBS capital stock and outstanding TBS stock options, respectively (plus an additional 5 million shares of New Time Warner common stock in connection with a related agreement). Additional information on the TBS Transaction is set forth in the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated November 14, 1995, and December 1, 1995. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of funds legally available therefore, subject to the rights of any preferred stock at the time outstanding. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including elections of directors. The holders of the Common Stock do not have any cumulative voting, conversion, redemption or preemptive rights. In the event of dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, holders of the Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in any assets remaining after the satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors, including holders of the Company's indebtedness, and the aggregate liquidation preference of any preferred stock then outstanding. Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, provided that full dividends on all outstanding shares of any series of the Company's preferred stock have been paid, outstanding shares of Common Stock may be redeemed by action of the Company's Board of Directors to the extent necessary to prevent the loss of any governmental license or franchise, the holding of which is conditioned upon stockholders possessing prescribed qualifications. The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Pacific Stock Exchange and the International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Ltd. Chemical Bank is the transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock has associated with it one right (a "Right") to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (or in certain cases other securities) of the Company. The terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") dated as of January 20, 1994, between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Rights Agent. Prior to the occurrence of certain events, including a determination by the Board of Directors following the public disclosure of a tender or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock representing 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Rights will not be represented by separate certificates and will be transferable with and only with the associated Common Stock. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, in the event that, among other things, a third party acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, each holder of Rights will be entitled to purchase securities of the Company having a market value equal to twice the purchase price thereof. In certain circumstances, including an acquisition involving 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company, the Rights will become exercisable to purchase common shares of the acquiror having a market value equal to twice the purchase price thereof. In addition, Rights held by an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) will become null and void, nontransferable and nonexercisable. The Rights Agreement provides that the Rights will not become exercisable in the event of a Qualifying Offer. A "Qualifying Offer" is defined as an all-cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of the Common Stock that meets certain fairness requirements, including the provision of a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm stating that the price to be paid to stockholders pursuant to the offer is fair from a financial point of view. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right. The Rights will expire on January 20, 2004, unless earlier redeemed by the Company. Concurrent with the closing of TBS Transaction, the Company expects that New Time Warner will adopt a Rights Agreement substantially identical to the Company's Rights Agreement except for the changes referred to in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 1, 1995. The foregoing summary of certain terms of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Rights Agreement, a copy of which is on file with the Commission.

The Company has the right to exchange each of the Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock for Common Stock at the stated conversion price after five years and four years, respectively, and is permitted to redeem each series, in whole or in part, for cash at the liquidation value plus accrued dividends, in each case, after five years.

The table also sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Selling Shareholder that may be offered for sale from time to time by this Prospectus and the number of shares of Common Stock to be held by each such Selling Shareholder assuming the sale of all the Common Stock offered hereby.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Common Stock covered by this Prospectus may be offered for sale by the Selling Shareholders named herein (as may be amended) from time to time pursuant and subject to the applicable provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and Stockholders' Agreement. Pursuant to such provisions, this Prospectus shall be available for the offer and sale of Common Stock (i) subject to certain Blackout Periods described below, during the 10 business day period immediately following the Closing Date and (ii) subject to any Blackout Periods and certain Holdback provisions described below, during each 15 business day period beginning on the third business day after the Company's public announcement of its quarterly or year-end financial results, subject, however, to certain volume limitations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that such 15 business day period may be extended and such volume limitations may be increased in certain circumstances, as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this Prospectus relates for a minimum period of 36 calendar months from the date hereof (which period may be extended under certain circumstances). In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement, this Prospectus covers sales and other dispositions (i) to a third party in a transaction that complies with the volume and manner of sale provisions contained in Rule 144(e) and (f) as in effect on the Closing Date under the Securities Act of 1933 and (ii) to any third party except in any case where the Selling Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or Associates (as defined for purposes of the Stockholders' Agreement) knows or, after commercially reasonable inquiry should have known, that such third party beneficially owns or, after giving effect to such sale will beneficially own, more than 5% of the aggregate Voting Power of the Voting Securities of the Parent. "Voting Power", when used in reference to any class or series of securities of the Parent, is the power of such class or series to vote for the election of directors. "Voting Securities", when used in reference to any person, are any securities of such person having Voting Power or any securities of such person convertible into or exchangeable for any securities having Voting Power. For purposes of determining the percentage of Voting Power for any class or series beneficially owned by any person, any securities not outstanding which are subject to conversion rights, exchange rights, rights, warrants, options or similar securities held by such person shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class or series beneficially owned by such person, but shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class or series beneficially owned by any other person. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth therein, the Company may determine that this Prospectus will not be usable by Holders for reasonable periods of time not in excess of 90 consecutive days (a "Blackout Period") if the Company (a) determines in good faith that the registration and distribution of the Common Stock (or use of this Prospectus) would interfere with any pending financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other corporate development involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than a matter covered by the next sentence) or would require premature disclosure thereof, and (b) promptly gives the Holders written notice thereof, such notice to contain a general statement of the reasons for the postponement or restriction on use and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The Company shall not be entitled to initiate a Blackout Period unless it shall concurrently forbid purchases or sales in the open market by senior executives of the Company. The aggregate number of days included in all Blackout Periods during any consecutive twelve months shall not exceed the aggregate of 180 days less the number of days in such period during which the Company shall maintain in effect a Holdback as described below. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth therein, the Company may require the Holders to refrain from any public sale or distribution of the Common Stock (a "Holdback") if the Company or the underwriters for the Company determines that such transactions would adversely affect an offering of Common Stock or certain related securities by the Company. The Common Stock may be offered for sale at prices and on terms then prevailing on the securities exchanges where the Common Stock is traded at prices related to such prices or at negotiated prices. Such sales may be made on one or more securities exchanges or in the over-the- counter market or otherwise. Subject in all cases to the restrictions contained in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement which are summarized above, the Common Stock may be sold by one or more of the following means of distribution: (a) a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Common Stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this Prospectus; and (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. This Prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the Common Stock or otherwise, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders may also sell Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the Common Stock offered hereby, which Common Stock such broker-dealer or other financial institution, subject to the Stockholders' Agreement, may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Shareholders may also pledge the shares registered hereunder to a broker-dealer or other financial institution and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution may, subject to the Stockholders' Agreement, effect sales of the pledged Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). Brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated in connection with sales pursuant hereto. Any such remuneration will be disclosed in a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed under the Securities Act. Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales and any such commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. Certain costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Common Stock, including certain costs of legal counsel for the Selling Shareholders, will be borne by the Company. Commissions, discounts and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sales of the Common Stock will be borne by the Selling Shareholders, as may a portion of the costs of legal counsel for the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders have agreed to indemnify the Company or any underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers and controlling persons, against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders or any underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, trustees, partners, and controlling persons, and any agent or investment advisor thereof against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation -- a "derivative action"), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise. Article VI of By-Laws of the Company requires indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company who is or was involved or threatened to be made so involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any predecessor of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or employee of any other enterprise. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the certificate of incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder, such as the Company, eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 1, Article X of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company eliminates the liability of directors to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7). The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section 145 and 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article VI of such By-laws and Section 1, Article X of such Certificate of Incorporation, as applicable. The Company's Directors' and Officers' Liability and Reimbursement Insurance Policy is designed to reimburse the Company for any payments made by it pursuant to the foregoing indemnification. Such policy has coverage of $50,000,000. Item 16.

Item 17. Undertakings. A. Undertaking Pursuant to Rule 415. The Company hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"); (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. B. Undertaking Regarding Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference. The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. C. Undertaking in Respect of Indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions described and the documents referenced under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
