NEW YORK TIMES CO

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2025. Based upon such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

We are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business that are now pending against us. These actions generally assert damages claims that are greatly in excess of the amount, if any, that we would be liable to pay if we lost or settled the cases. We record a liability for legal claims when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters, no amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts as of March 31, 2025, is believed to be reasonably possible.

On December 27, 2023, we filed a lawsuit against Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), Open AI Inc. and various of its corporate affiliates (collectively, “OpenAI”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), alleging copyright infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), related to their unlawful and unauthorized copying and use of our journalism and other content. We are seeking monetary relief, injunctive relief preventing Microsoft and OpenAI from continuing their unlawful, unfair and infringing conduct and other relief. On February 26, 2024, and March 4, 2024, respectively, OpenAI and Microsoft filed partial motions to dismiss, seeking dismissal of the unfair competition, contributory copyright infringement and DMCA claims. OpenAI also sought dismissal of a portion of the direct copyright infringement claim as time-barred. On March 26, 2025, the court dismissed our unfair competition claim and DMCA claims, with leave to replead the latter, but permitted our other disputed claims to go forward. On April 3, 2025, the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation consolidated our case with 11 others pending against OpenAI before our assigned judge in the SDNY. We intend to vigorously pursue all of our legal remedies in this litigation, but there is no guarantee that we will be successful in our efforts.
