Explanation of responses
- F1In connection with the spin-off of the Issuer from TEGNA Inc. on June 29, 2015, each outstanding TEGNA stock option award was converted into an award of options to purchase both shares of TEGNA's common stock and shares of the Issuer's common stock. The number of shares and exercise prices of each option award will be adjusted (based in part on the volume weighted average per-share price of the Issuer's common stock during each of the first five full NYSE trading sessions commencing June 29, 2015) in a manner intended to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original TEGNA stock option. Once the exercise price and number of underlying shares has been determined in respect of each grant, an amended Form 4 will be filed disclosing such information.
- F2The option has vested as to all shares subject to the grant.
- F3In connection with the spin-off, this outstanding and unvested time-vesting TEGNA restricted stock unit (RSU) award granted in 2015 was converted into an RSU award denominated in shares of the Issuer's common stock. The number of underlying shares will be adjusted (based in part on the volume weighted average per-share price of the Issuer's common stock during each of the first five full NYSE trading sessions commencing June 29, 2015) in a manner intended to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original TEGNA RSU award . Once the number of shares of the Issuer's common stock underlying this RSU award has been determined, an amended Form 4 will be filed disclosing such information. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's underlying common stock.
- F4These RSUs vest in four equal quarterly installments beginning on August 1, 2015. Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person as soon as administratively practicable upon the reporting person's separation from service with the Issuer.
