Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 18, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement), by and among TEGNA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Nexstar Media Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Nexstar"), and Teton Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Nexstar ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nexstar. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of the Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Company Common Stock"), was converted into the right to receive $22.00 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration").

2. Each time-based restricted stock unit award in respect of shares of Company Common Stock ("Company RSU Award") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the underlying Company Common Stock.

3. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award held by the reporting person that was granted before August 18, 2025 was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying the Company RSU Award. Each Company RSU Award granted on or after August 18, 2025 held by the reporting person and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a time-based restricted stock unit award in respect of a number of shares of Nexstar common stock calculated based on the value of the Merger Consideration and Nexstar's stock price, subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

4. Each performance-based restricted stock unit or performance share award in respect of shares of Company Common Stock ("Company PSU Award") represents a contingent right to receive a certain number of shares of the underlying Company Common Stock.

5. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company PSU Award was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying the Company PSU Award, with the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company PSU Award determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement.
