All of the individual reporting persons are U.S. citizens. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. The Trust acquired the shares of Common Stock through a dividend distribution of the Issuer's shares made by Gaylord Entertainment Company ("Old GET"), the predecessor to the Issuer, which were obtained by way of a dividend distribution to the shareholders of The Oklahoma Publishing Company ("OPUBCO") effective September 30, 1997. Prior to the effective date of the distribution, the Issuer, formerly Gaylord Broadcasting Company, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Old GET. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. The distribution of shares of Common Stock to the Trust described in Item 3, was effected in connection with a merger between Old GET and Westinghouse Electric Corporation ("Westinghouse"), whereby assets of Old GET that were not included as part of the merger with Westinghouse were transferred to the Issuer. The Trust acquired shares of the Issuer in a dividend distribution to continue its investments in the businesses associated with the non-included assets, which consisted of the hospitality, attractions, music, television and radio businesses of Old GET, as well as an international cable network and an option to acquire another such network. Except as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph, the reporting persons have no current plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer; any extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer or a subsidiary; a sell or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any subsidiary; any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or similar instruments that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any other person; causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange; a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration under Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or any similar action. Pursuant to the terms of the trust instrument governing the Trust, certain beneficiaries are named who will have the right to receive the securities and/or proceeds and dividends from such securities. The Inasmuch Foundation, a charitable, scientific and educational foundation, of which David O. Hogan, J. Hugh Roff, Jr. and William J. Ross are the directors, is entitled to receive 75% of the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds thereof. The Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation, a charitable, scientific and educational foundation, of which David O. Hogan, J. Hugh Roff, Jr. and William J. Ross are the directors, is entitled to receive 25% of the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds thereof. The directors may from time to time, directly or indirectly, purchase additional shares of Common Stock or sell shares of Common Stock on the open market or otherwise depending on an evaluation of market price, diversification of assets, or other considerations.

OPUBCO has the power to vote or direct the vote of, or to dispose or direct the disposition of, 2,103,766 shares of Common Stock, constituting 6.30% of the total shares outstanding of the Issuer. This includes 1,833,366 shares beneficially owned by GFI Company, a corporation wholly owned by OPUBCO. The Trust disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by OPUBCO and GFI. The Trust has currently instituted a program of selling shares of Common Stock and, as of November 8, 2001, had sold 126,000 shares since January 28, 2001 (90,000 shares in the past sixty days). There are no other persons with the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sell of, such securities. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
