QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q:   What am I voting on?

A:    You are voting on the election of Directors for a term of one year. A Board of 11 Directors is to be elected, 7 by the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a class, and 4 by the holders of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class. All Directors will hold office until the next Annual Meeting or until their respective successors shall have been elected and shall have qualified or as otherwise provided in the bylaws of the Company.

In the event that any nominee withdraws or for any reason is not able to serve as a Director, Donald E. Graham, Hal S. Jones, Veronica Dillon and Gerald M. Rosberg, acting as your proxies, may vote for such other person as the Board of Directors may nominate.

In addition, if you are a holder of Class A Stock, you are voting on whether to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers for 2013. In accordance with rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), these votes are advisory in nature and non-binding.

Each of your shares entitles you to one vote with respect to each matter on which you may vote.

Q:   What are the voting recommendations of the Board?

A:   The Board recommends voting for each of the nominated Directors listed on the Proxy card. The Board knows of no reason that would cause any nominee to be unable to act or to refuse to accept nomination or election.

The Board recommends voting for the approval of the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers for 2013.

Q:   Will any other matters be voted on?

A:    We are not aware of any matters to be voted on other than the election of Directors and the Class A Shareholder advisory vote on compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers for 2013. If any other matter is properly brought before the Meeting, Donald E. Graham, Hal S. Jones, Veronica Dillon and Gerald M. Rosberg, acting as your proxies, will vote for you at their discretion.

Q:   How do I vote?

A:    There are four ways to vote:

• By Internet at www.investorvote.com. We encourage you to vote this way;

• By toll-free telephone at 1-800-652-8683;

• By completing and mailing your Proxy card; or

• By written ballot at the Meeting.

If you vote by Internet or telephone, your vote must be received by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving Time, on the day before the Meeting. Your shares will be voted as you indicate. If you are a Class B Shareholder and do not indicate your voting preferences, Donald E. Graham, Hal S. Jones, Veronica Dillon and Gerald M. Rosberg, acting as your proxies, will vote your shares in favor of the applicable nominated Directors.

3

If you are a Class A Shareholder and do not indicate your voting preferences, the foregoing persons, acting as your proxies, will vote your shares in favor of the applicable nominated Directors and for approval of the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers for 2013.

Q:   Who can vote?

A:    You can vote if you were a shareholder of record as of the close of business on March 12, 2014 (the “Record Date”). If you hold shares in street name, your broker, bank or other nominee will instruct you as to how your shares may be voted by proxy, including whether telephonic or Internet voting options are available. You may not vote shares held in street name in person at the Meeting unless you have a Proxy executed in your favor by your broker, bank or other nominee.

In accordance with the Company’s constitutive documents and under Delaware corporate law, only Class A Shareholders are entitled to vote on Proposal 2: Approval of 2013 Compensation Awarded to Named Executive Officers. If you are a Class B Shareholder, you are entitled to vote on Proposal 1: Election of Directors.

Q:   Can I change my vote?

A:    Yes. You can change your vote or revoke your Proxy at any time before the Meeting:

• By entering a new vote by Internet or telephone;

• By returning a later-dated Proxy card; or

• By voting in person at the Meeting, provided you first revoke your previously voted Proxy.

Q:  What vote is required to approve a proposal?

A:   Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting. This means that the 7 Class A Shareholder nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast and the four Class B Shareholder nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast shall be elected. You do not have the right to cumulate votes in the election of Directors. A properly executed Proxy marked “WITHHELD” with respect to the election of one or more Directors will not be voted with respect to the Director or Directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

While the proposal to approve the 2013 compensation awarded to the Company’s named executive officers is non-binding and advisory in nature, it will be approved only on the favorable vote of a majority of the Class A Shareholders present or represented at the Meeting.

Broker non-votes will have no impact on the voting results for any of the proposals presented at the Meeting, and abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal to approve the 2013 compensation awarded to the Company’s named executive officers. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Q:  Who will count the vote?

A:  Computershare, the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, will count the vote. One of its representatives will be included among the persons authorized to certify the vote.

Q:  Who can attend the Meeting?

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

NOMINEES FOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Company seeks Directors of the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and business acumen who are committed to representing the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders. In considering its composition, the Board considers the skills and experience of prospective nominees in the context of the needs of the Board and seeks Directors who are “independent” under applicable law and listing standards, despite being exempt from such requirement as a “controlled company.” The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines do not prescribe specific standards regarding the diversity of the Board, but the Board considers as a matter of practice the diversity of prospective nominees (including incumbent Directors), both culturally and in terms of the range of perspectives that the Board as a whole brings to its work. The following nominees for Director have established records of accomplishment in areas relevant to the Company’s strategy and operations and share characteristics identified in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and Statement of Ethical Principles as essential to a well-functioning deliberative body: honesty, integrity, independence, competence, diligence and commitment to the interests of all shareholders to build long-term shareholder value.

The Company is a diversified education and media company serving customers in a rapidly evolving, highly regulated, competitive and technological environment. The Directors’ expertise and experience encompass the areas of education, media, technology, marketing, international business and finance, journalism, law and public policy. All of the Directors have held senior positions as leaders of complex organizations (both for-profit and non-profit) and gained expertise in core management skills, such as strategy and business development, innovation, line operations, brand management, finance, compensation and leadership development, compliance and risk management. They have significant experience in corporate governance and oversight through their positions as senior executives and as Directors (or Trustees) of public companies and other institutions, and many have served as members of audit, compensation and governance committees at such companies or institutions, as well as at the Company. These skills and experience are pertinent to the Company’s current and evolving business strategies, as well as to the Board’s oversight role, and enable the Company’s Directors to provide diverse perspectives about the complex issues facing the Company.

The following biographies highlight specific qualifications, skills and experience of each of the Director nominees.

Board Committees

The standing committees of the Board include the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Finance Committee and Executive Committee.

Given the ownership structure of the Company and its status as a “controlled company” (see page 12), the Board does not have a nominating committee. Decisions on nominees to the Board are made through consultation among the Chairman of the Board and the other members of the Board. The Company has not utilized the services of any third party to assist in identifying and evaluating nominees.

Audit Committee

The functions of the Audit Committee include overseeing (i) management’s conduct of the Company’s financial reporting process (including the development and maintenance of systems of internal accounting and financial controls); (ii) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements; (iii) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iv) the qualifications and independence of the Company’s outside auditor; (v) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function; (vi) the outside auditor’s annual audit of the Company’s financial statements; and (vii) the preparation of certain reports required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. A current copy of the Audit Committee’s Charter is available on the Company’s website, www.ghco.com; a copy of such Charter will be furnished without charge to any shareholder upon written request addressed to the Treasurer, Graham Holdings Company at 1150 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20071.

Christopher C. Davis, Thomas S. Gayner (Chairman) and G. Richard Wagoner, Jr. served on the Audit Committee in 2013. The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are non-employee, “financially literate,” “independent” Directors within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. None of the members of the Audit Committee has accepted, other than in his capacity as a Committee or Board member, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company or its affiliates, and none of the members of the Audit Committee has a material relationship with the Company.

The Board has determined that Thomas S. Gayner has the requisite background and experience to be (and is) designated an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K due to his extensive experience, as discussed under “Proposal 1: Election of Directors.” In addition, the Board has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are well grounded in financial matters and are familiar with generally accepted accounting principles. All of the members of the Audit Committee have a general understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, as well as an understanding of audit committee functions. To the extent that matters come before the Audit Committee that involve accounting issues, the members of the Audit Committee consult with and rely on management, in addition to external experts, such as the Company’s independent registered public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. In addition, the Audit Committee has authority to obtain advice from internal or external legal or other advisors.

The Audit Committee held six meetings in 2013.

Compensation Committee

The functions of the Compensation Committee include (i) reviewing the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; (ii) consulting with the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of the Company’s other executives (including, specifically, approving all salaries of $300,000 or more per year; all incentive compensation awards and all other bonuses, other than sales bonuses, of $75,000 or more for employees of all business units, including Corporate; and awards of restricted stock and stock options); (iii) overseeing the administration and determination of awards under the Company’s compensation plans; and (iv) preparing any report on executive compensation required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. A current copy of the Compensation Committee’s Charter is available on the Company’s website, www.ghco.com; a copy of such Charter will be furnished without charge to any shareholder upon written request addressed to the Treasurer, Graham Holdings Company at 1150 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20071.

Lee C. Bollinger, Barry Diller, Anne M. Mulcahy (Chairman) and Larry D. Thompson served on the Compensation Committee in 2013. All members of the Compensation Committee are non-employee, “independent” Directors within the meaning of the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

The Compensation Committee held seven meetings in 2013.

10

Finance Committee

The functions of the Finance Committee include (i) reviewing with management the capital needs of the Company and (ii) considering and making recommendations to the Board related to dividend policy, major acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, incurrence of indebtedness, selection of managers of defined benefit plan assets, stock repurchase programs and certain other financial matters.

Christopher C. Davis (Chairman), Barry Diller, Thomas S. Gayner, David Goldberg, Donald E. Graham and Katharine Weymouth served on the Finance Committee in 2013.

The Finance Committee held one meeting in 2013.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee has and may exercise all of the powers of the Board that may be delegated by law in the management of the business and affairs of the Company and exercises the authority of the Board between meetings.

Christopher C. Davis, Barry Diller, Donald E. Graham (Chairman), Anne M. Mulcahy and Ronald L. Olson serve on the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee held two meetings in 2013.

Meeting Attendance

The Board held a total of five regular meetings and one special meeting in 2013. Each Director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which the Director served.

The Board does not have a policy of requiring Directors to attend annual meetings of shareholders and leaves it at the discretion of each Director as to whether he or she will attend the meeting. In addition to the Chairman, two Directors attended the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Director Compensation

During 2013, non-employee Directors received the following annual payments:

•$80,000 as a cash retainer; and

•reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses for the meetings they attended.

Each non-employee Chair of a committee of the Board received an additional $10,000. Members of the Audit Committee received an additional $12,000 annually for their service on that committee. Employee Directors received no compensation for serving on the Board.

The Company regularly evaluates the level of its non-employee Director compensation and occasionally makes recommendations to the Board to better align its non-employee Director compensation with the market. In 2014, the Company recommended and the Board approved increasing the annual cash retainer to $150,000; the compensation payable for service as a Chair of a committee of the Board, to $20,000; and the compensation payable for service as a member of the Audit Committee, to $20,000. These amounts are paid only to non-employee Directors. Employee Directors do not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board.

11

The total 2013 compensation of non-employee Directors is shown on the following table:

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Name (a)	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($) (b)	Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings ($) (f)	All Other Compensation ($)  (g)	Total ($) (h)
Lee C. Bollinger	$80,000	—	—	$80,000
Christopher C. Davis	102,000	—	—	102,000
Barry Diller	80,000	—	—	80,000
Thomas S. Gayner	102,000	—	—	102,000
David Goldberg	80,000	—	—	80,000
Anne M. Mulcahy	90,000	—	—	90,000
Ronald L. Olson	80,000	—	—	80,000
Larry D. Thompson	80,000	—	—	80,000
G. Richard Wagoner, Jr.	92,000	—	4,000 (2)	96,000
Katharine Weymouth	20,000 (1)	—	—	20,000

(1) Ms. Weymouth became a non-employee Director in October 2013. Represents prorated fees after such date.

(2) Charitable contribution made pursuant to the Company’s matching gift program.

The Company has in place a voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors of the Company. Amounts deferred pursuant to the Plan are reflected in the “Fees Earned or Paid in Cash” column in the table above. The Plan provides an opportunity for participants to elect to defer the receipt of either all or a portion of the fees received for service as a Director. Elections to defer must be filed in advance of earning such fees. Deferred amounts will earn investment credits in accordance with participant elections from a choice of investment funds (based on the funds available under the Company’s 401(k) plan). None of the deferred amounts was credited with above-market interest. Deferred amounts are payable upon separation of service or such other future date as specified by the participant at the time of election. The Company does not provide stock awards, option awards or other non-equity compensation to Directors.

“Controlled Company”

The descendants of Katharine Graham (including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board) and trusts for the benefit of those descendants own the majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and have the right to vote for 70% of the Board of Directors; thus the Company is a “controlled company” for purposes of Section 303A.00 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. As a “controlled company,” the Company is exempt from certain governance requirements, including the requirement that it have a nominating/corporate governance committee, and the Company does not deem it necessary to have such a committee. The Company does not have a procedure by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Board, given the Company’s ownership structure. Notwithstanding the fact that as a “controlled company,” the Company is not required to have a Board of Directors that comprises a majority of “independent” directors, the Board has determined that current members Lee C. Bollinger, Christopher C. Davis, Barry Diller, Thomas S. Gayner, Anne M. Mulcahy, Ronald L. Olson, Larry D. Thompson and G. Richard Wagoner, Jr. (who, together, constitute a majority of the Board) are “independent” within the meaning of Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered commercial relationships with companies at which Directors or their family members served as outside directors or executive officers. These relationships involved the Company’s purchases of services in the ordinary course of business that were made on arm’s-length terms under circumstances and in amounts that did not affect the relevant Directors’ independence.

Meetings of the Non-Management Directors

The listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange call for the non-management Directors of the Company to meet regularly in executive session without management. The Board has appointed Christopher C. Davis as lead Director and has authorized him to preside at the executive sessions. The non-management Directors met in executive session in November 2013 and expect to meet in executive session in 2014 as appropriate.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Lee C. Bollinger, Barry Diller, Anne M. Mulcahy and Larry D. Thompson served as members of the Compensation Committee in 2013. No member of the Compensation Committee has ever been an employee of the Company. No executive officer of the Company serves on the compensation committee of any other entity that has, or has had, one or more of its executive officers serving on the Company’s Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Donald E. Graham serves as Chairman of the Board of the Company, as well as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Graham’s service as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interests of the Company. This structure is appropriate, given the significant shareholdings in the Company of Mr. Graham and the Graham family, and also serves other purposes. Mr. Graham possesses in-depth strategic and operational knowledge of the opportunities and challenges facing the Company and is best positioned to develop agendas that focus on matters that merit Board attention. At his request, Mr. Graham has not received a raise in his annual salary nor received an annual bonus in 23 years in his current non-Board roles. Because his shareholdings represent his main financial interest in the Company, the Board believes that Mr. Graham’s interests are well aligned with those of shareholders and that his dual role promotes decisive leadership, accountability and clarity in the overall direction of the Company’s business strategy. The Board also believes that this approach facilitates clear and consistent communication of the Company’s strategy to all stakeholders.

While as a “controlled company,” the Company is not legally required to have a majority of independent Directors, the majority of the Board, in fact, comprises independent Directors who act as an effective counterbalance to Mr. Graham in his dual role. The Board also appoints a lead independent Director. Christopher C. Davis serves in this capacity. The lead independent Director typically chairs executive sessions of Board meetings and consults with Mr. Graham and senior management regarding issues to be included in Board meeting agendas. The lead independent Director is also expected to collaborate with Mr. Graham in reviewing key operational and other matters and to act as a liaison between Mr. Graham and the independent Directors.

The Board as a whole actively considers strategic decisions proposed by management, including matters affecting the business strategy and competitive and financial positions of the Company, and monitors the Company’s risk profile. Board meetings are focused on strategic matters affecting major areas of the Company’s business, including operational, execution and competitive risks and risk management initiatives. The Board fulfills certain risk oversight functions through its standing committees. For example, the Finance Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board related to major acquisitions or dispositions, including with respect to attendant risks, and the Compensation Committee addresses the risk profile of the Company’s compensation program and arrangements. The Audit Committee also plays a key role in risk oversight, particularly with respect to financial reporting, accounting and compliance matters.

Risk oversight activities are supported by internal reporting structures that aim to surface directly to the Board key matters that can affect the Company’s risk exposures. For example, the head of the Company’s internal audit function reports directly to the Audit Committee. The Company has also established a management-level compliance committee that reports periodically to the Audit Committee about regulatory risks affecting the Company’s education businesses, as well as a Disclosure Controls Committee, chaired by the General Counsel, that reports directly to the Audit Committee on certain matters relating to the Company’s public disclosures.

Communicating With Directors

Interested parties may communicate concerns to the lead Director or to the other Directors of the Company through Global Compliance Services, the Company’s third-party-managed hotline, via telephone at 1-866-687-8972 or online at https://www.compliance-helpline.com/GHCO.jsp.

STOCK HOLDINGS OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The information in the following two tables relates to each person who, on February 3, 2014, was a “beneficial owner” (as defined under the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of more than 5% of the Company’s Class A or Class B Stock and to the stock holdings of Directors and officers. Under the proxy rules, a person is deemed to be the “beneficial owner” of stock if such person has (or shares) either investment power or voting power over such stock or has (or shares) the right to acquire such stock within 60 days by any of a number of means, including the conversion of another security that is convertible into such stock. A substantial number of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock are held in trusts or subject to other agreements that provide for the sharing of investment power, voting power or both among several persons, each of whom is deemed by the Securities and Exchange Commission to be a “beneficial owner” of the shares so held. Furthermore, in many cases, such persons do not include the beneficiary of the trust who, although not deemed to be a “beneficial owner” in the absence of voting or investment power over the shares, is nevertheless shown below as a “beneficial owner” because of the beneficiary’s economic interest in the shares. In addition, since all of the shares of Class A Stock are convertible at the option of the holder into Class B Stock on a share-for-share basis, each “beneficial owner” of shares of Class A Stock is deemed by the Securities and Exchange Commission to be a “beneficial owner” of the same number of shares of Class B Stock. In indicating below a person’s “beneficial ownership” of shares of Class B Stock, it has been

13

assumed that such person has converted into Class B Stock all shares of Class A Stock of which such person is a “beneficial owner.” For these reasons, there is very substantial duplication in the numbers of shares and percentages shown in the following table.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s Directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Class B Stock. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company is not aware of any deficiency in reporting.

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF 2013 COMPENSATION AWARDED TO NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

As required by Schedule 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the corresponding SEC rules, the Company is seeking an advisory, non-binding shareholder vote from its Class A Shareholders with respect to compensation awarded to its named executive officers for 2013. On May 12, 2011, the majority of the Company’s Class A Shareholders voted in favor of an annual, non-binding shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation and, in consideration of the outcome of the frequency vote, the Board determined to hold such advisory vote each year. The Company’s executive compensation program and compensation paid to its named executive officers are described under the heading "Executive Compensation" in this Proxy Statement. The Compensation Committee oversees the program and compensation awarded, adopting changes to the program and awarding compensation as appropriate to reflect the Company’s circumstances and to promote the main objective of the program: to motivate talented employees in order to increase value for shareholders by facilitating long-term growth of the Company. If you are a Class A Shareholder, you may vote for or against the following resolution, or you may abstain. The Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote, along with other relevant factors, in evaluating its executive compensation program. Following the Meeting, the next such non-binding advisory vote to approve the Company’s executive compensation is scheduled to occur at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Resolved, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers for 2013, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, narrative discussion and related material included in this Proxy Statement, is hereby APPROVED.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT CLASS A SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing and continually monitoring adherence to the Company’s compensation philosophy—a philosophy designed to attract, retain and motivate qualified and talented employees who are enthusiastic about the Company’s mission and culture. The Committee, which is chaired by Anne M. Mulcahy and includes Lee C. Bollinger, Barry Diller and Larry D. Thompson, seeks to establish total compensation packages that are attractive to employees and comparable to, but not dramatically different from, those offered by peer companies with comparable revenue in the education and media industries. Through regular meetings and discussions with management, the Committee ensures that the total compensation paid to all executives, including named executive officers of the Company, and all employees earning more than $300,000 in salary, is fair, reasonable and based on performance goals established to increase value for Shareholders by facilitating the long-term growth of the Company. The Committee considers both short-term and long-term plans in determining compensation. Annual plans are used to motivate and reward management for achieving specific yearly goals. Long-term plans, typically three or four years in duration, are designed to reward cumulative long-term goals. All performance criteria, however, including those in annual or relatively short-term plans, are designed to reward executives for making decisions that will enhance the long-term value of the Company. Except in the case of sales executives or executives in high-growth revenue-focused business units, no targets are based on quarterly or partial-year results. Some of these plans reward with cash, and others reward with stock-based compensation. The Company has no specific formula for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation or between long-term and current compensation. Management and the Committee select the method of compensation thought most likely to lead to achievement of the particular goal; however, the Company has historically favored cash compensation over non-cash compensation. Management and the Committee believe that cash incentives provide more targeted rewards for specific performance.

All named executive officers, except Donald E. Graham, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, receive an annual salary and restricted stock awards every other year and participate in performance-based annual bonus plans and four-year cash-based Performance Unit Plans. Named executive officers and others occasionally receive restricted stock or stock option grants in off-cycle years as a reward for past performance and incentive for future performance. They also receive the benefits of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”). Mr. Graham receives an annual salary and participates in the Performance Unit Plans and the defined benefit portion of the SERP as described below.

Compensation Committee Charter

The Board has delegated to the Committee the responsibility of overseeing the administration of the Company’s compensation plans and the preparation of all reports and documents required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. To meet this responsibility, the Committee is required to meet at least once a year. The Committee annually reviews and approves the corporate goals and objectives upon which the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and senior management, including the named executive officers, is based. The Committee evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives. Furthermore, the Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to any incentive compensation plans, including equity-based plans, to be adopted or submitted to shareholders for approval. The Committee reviews the Company’s succession plans, including (i) the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations as to a successor, should he be disabled or unable to perform his duties for an extended period of time, and (ii) annually, the Company’s efforts at management development.

The Committee may request that any officer or employee of the Company, including its affiliates, or the Company’s outside counsel or an independent auditor, attend meetings of the Committee or meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee. The Committee has authority to retain or terminate any compensation consultant used to assist in the evaluation of Director, Chief Executive Officer or senior management compensation and has sole authority to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms. The Committee did not retain any consultant for such purpose in 2013. The Committee also has authority to obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors.

During 2013, the Committee met seven times. A copy of the Company’s Compensation Committee Charter is available under the “Investor Relations” tab at www.ghco.com.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

Mr. Graham, the Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. McDaniel, Senior Vice President and secretary of the Committee (also a named executive officer), attended all Committee meetings during 2013. Veronica Dillon, Senior Vice President and

17

General Counsel (also a named executive officer), attended one meeting to assist the Committee in determining compensation terms related to the sale of most of the Company’s newspaper publishing and affiliated businesses.

The Committee makes all compensation decisions for the named executive officers of the Company, except those perquisites under $200,000 per named executive officer that may be approved by Mr. Graham. The Committee also approves the compensation of all employees earning annual salaries of $300,000 or more and bonuses of $75,000 or more.

Except for awards involving themselves, Mr. Graham and Ms. McDaniel recommend to the Committee the size of each component of compensation, based on a discussion with the head of the division where the employee works, a review of his or her performance and a comparison of available compensation survey data for that job and geographic area. The Committee examines each of the suggested compensation actions and, in its sole discretion, modifies the awards when appropriate to better reflect the goals of the Company.

At his request, Mr. Graham has not received a raise in his annual salary nor has he received an annual bonus since 1991. He stopped accepting grants of restricted stock in the Company in 2004 and requested that he receive no payment for his performance units beginning with the 2007–2010 award cycle. All compensation for Ms. McDaniel is determined solely by the Chief Executive Officer and the Committee. The Chief Executive Officer and the Committee use the same performance-based criteria to set Ms. McDaniel’s compensation as they do for all other named executive officers and other senior staff (other than Mr. Graham). Ms. McDaniel is asked to leave the Committee meetings when her performance is discussed.

Setting Executive Compensation

To meet its objectives, the Committee asks the Chief Executive Officer and the secretary of the Committee to draft annual and long-term incentive-based cash and non-cash executive compensation plans. The Committee reviews and, in its sole discretion, modifies the formula and goals established for various awards under the plans before the plans take effect, which is typically no later than the end of the first quarter of the first year covered by the plan.

Through the programs described below, a significant portion of the Company’s executive compensation is linked directly to business unit and corporate performance and stock price appreciation. The Committee intends to continue the policy of linking executive compensation to corporate performance and returns to shareholders and deems it desirable that certain compensation paid under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code concerning deductibility of executive compensation. However, the Committee reserves the right to put in place certain compensation programs that do not meet those requirements, which may result in compensation payments that are not deductible to the Company, if such programs are otherwise in the best interests of the Company.

Elements of Compensation

The compensation package offered by the Company to its executive officers comprises the following components:

• Competitive base salary;

• Short-term incentive compensation in the form of performance-based annual bonuses;

• Long-term incentive compensation, typically based on performance over three to four years;

• Long-term equity-based incentive compensation in the form of restricted stock and stock options;

• Perquisites; and

• Retirement benefits.

Base Salary

The Company pays named executive officers base salaries to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Salaries for named executive officers are based on their responsibilities, their prior experience and their recent performance and are evaluated against market data provided by outside surveys. In 2013, the Committee reviewed data from Towers Watson surveys of U.S. General Industry and Media executives and the Equilar Top 25 Survey. The Company compares its management salaries to those of companies in similar industries and with comparable revenues in order to get a general understanding of the compensation structures maintained by similarly situated companies, but does not target its executive compensation at a certain level or percentage based upon other companies’ arrangements. Salaries are typically reviewed on a 12-month or longer cycle, except when there is a significant change in an executive’s responsibilities during a shorter period of time. Such adjustments are determined by evaluating (i) the scope of the new responsibilities, (ii) the competitive market value of that role, (iii) the performance of the individual and (iv) the performance of the Company.

18

With respect to the base salary paid to Mr. Graham in 2013, the Committee took into account a comparison of base salaries paid to chief executive officers of peer education and media companies, the Company’s results in 2012 and Mr. Graham’s performance since 1979, when he became publisher of The Washington Post. The Committee noted that Mr. Graham’s base salary was, and has long been, significantly below the median of base salaries paid to chief executive officers of these peer companies: other prominent media companies, including The New York Times Company and Gannett Co., Inc.; and publicly held education companies, including Apollo Group, Inc., DeVry, Inc., Strayer Education, Inc., and Corinthian Colleges, Inc. However, at Mr. Graham’s request, the Committee left his salary at $400,000. The Committee does not give significance to Mr. Graham’s below-market salary when reviewing and establishing salaries for other named executive officers.

Performance-Based Incentive Compensation

To supplement base salaries and to reward management (including named executive officers and other employees key to the long-term success of the Company) for meeting specific individual and financial goals, the Class A Shareholders of the Company adopted in December 1981 the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. In 2001, the Annual Compensation Plan, originally approved by the Class A Shareholders in February 1974, was combined with the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan to create the Incentive Compensation Plan. In May 2012, the Class A and Class B Shareholders of the Company adopted the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Incentive Compensation Plan was combined with the Stock Option Plan, which the shareholders reauthorized in 2003, to create the Plan. The purpose of these plans was and is to provide greater incentives to those employees who have been or will be responsible for the Company’s future growth, profitability and continued success and to strengthen the ability of the Company to attract, motivate and retain such employees. There are at present approximately 167 employees of the Company who are participants under the Plan and receive annual bonus awards and/or hold restricted stock, and/or stock options and/or grants of Performance Units. Each named executive officer, except Mr. Graham (who only participates in the Performance Units portion of the Plan), participates in each of these programs.

Annual Bonuses

The Plan calls for annual incentive compensation awards based on the Company and its business units’ financial performance compared to goals set immediately prior to or at the beginning of the year in which the award is to be earned. The payout upon the achievement of such goals is equal to a percentage of base salary, which is also set at the beginning of the year. Those percentages are determined on an individual basis, taking into account the responsibilities, prior experience and recent performance of the relevant employee. The 2013 target percentage of base salary for each of the named executive officers was as follows: Mr. Jones, 50%; Mr. Rosberg, 40%; Ms. McDaniel, 70% (to reflect additional responsibilities relating to the management of Slate, Post–Newsweek Media and The Herald); and Ms. Dillon, 40%. Mr. Graham has asked the Committee not to grant him an annual bonus award. In 2014, Ms. McDaniel's bonus target was reduced to 50% of base salary to reflect the sales of Post–Newsweek Media and the Herald, which both occurred in 2013.

In 2013, the annual bonus formula for the named executive officers was based on a diluted earnings per share target because the Committee believed that such a goal would align the interests of shareholders and the named executive officers in growing the value of the Company. Management and the Committee believe that they have designed the targets to be challenging, but achievable. The Company has achieved its financial goals and paid out at target or above in the bonus portion of the Plan in four of the past five years; in one of the past five years, the Company achieved less than 100% of its earnings per share goal, as adjusted to exclude certain items.

The original diluted earnings per share goal for 2013 was $20.12; however the Committee adjusted the goal to exclude the impact of discontinued operations, resulting in a revised diluted earnings per share goal of $23.54. In setting the original goal, the Committee established a formula for bonus purposes that included adjustments for certain items, to the extent that actual amounts varied from those in the 2013 annual budget. Specifically, these adjustments included credits for unbudgeted divestitures and a pension budget variance, offset by additions for foreign exchange losses, acquisitions and a Kaplan stock compensation expense budget variance.

In calculating the Company’s achievement of 2013 diluted earnings per share for purposes of making its final bonus determinations for the named executive officers, the Committee also exercised its discretion to exclude certain unusual and unbudgeted items, in addition to the adjustments included in the diluted earnings per share formula. Specifically, the adjustments included unbudgeted restructuring charges at Kaplan, a non-cash intangible and other long-lived assets impairment charge at one of the Kaplan businesses, a write-down of a marketable equity security, other investment write-downs and unbudgeted costs related to the sale of certain publishing businesses. The Committee adjusted for these items as they do not relate to the regular operating results that are customarily considered by the Committee in determining bonus amounts. The

19

exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 21, 2014, detailed most of these items, as does page 40 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2014. These items collectively amounted to $2.30 in diluted earnings per share net additions, or 70% of the total adjustments made.

Taking into account these adjustments, the Company’s 2013 diluted earnings per share, as adjusted for purposes of the bonus determination, was $30.14 (compared to reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $25.78), resulting in the Company’s achievement of 128% of its revised earnings per share goal for 2013. Annual bonuses are paid at a maximum of 175% of target for earnings per share performance of 135% of budget. As a result, the annual bonus payout was approximately 165% of target, based on the established annual formula.    

In addition to the annual bonus based on a pre-established formula, in 2013, the Committee exercised its discretion to award special bonus payments to certain individuals, including three of the named executive officers, who were integral to the closing of the sale of most of the Company’s newspaper publishing and affiliated businesses, which is defined below as the WPM Transaction. Specifically, the Committee awarded special payments in the amount of $500,000 to each of Ms. Dillon and Mr. Jones and $200,000 to Ms. McDaniel in recognition of their extraordinary efforts in connection with the WPM Transaction.    

Restricted Stock

No target stock ownership level exists for the named executive officers, but to align the interests of Shareholders and management and to ensure that the full potential of an executive’s compensation package cannot be realized unless stock appreciation occurs over a number of years, the Plan also provides for grants of restricted stock in the Company. To determine the number of shares to be granted, the Committee considers on an individual basis the likely value of shares already held, the level of contribution the employee has previously made and the potential of the employee to bring additional value to the Company. The shares are vested at the end of the restriction period, usually four years, and vesting does not accelerate under their terms, except at the discretion of the Committee.

Performance Units

To highlight specific long-term financial goals, the Plan provides for Performance Unit Plans. All named executive officers participate in these plans, in which performance-based goals are determined at the beginning of each four-year award cycle. The goals consider operating income, peer company performance, cash flow, earnings per share, measures of economic value added, and/or quantitative revenue growth or profitability measurements of the Company as a whole or of individual business units. Management and the Committee believe that they have designed the performance-based goals to be challenging, but achievable. In three of the past four award cycles, the Company exceeded its goals and paid out above target. In one of the past four award cycles, the targeted performance goals were not met and the plan paid out below target. Each performance unit has a nominal value of $100. The maximum payout of performance units is $200 per unit, and the payment of a total award to any individual at the end of an award cycle may not exceed $5 million.

For each cycle under a Performance Unit Plan, the Committee establishes a valuation formula at the start of the cycle. At the end of the cycle, the unit value is calculated, based on application of the formula, and payments are made to named executive officers in the year following the end of the cycle. The formula used to calculate the payouts is determined by (i) a weighted combination of factors that relate to individual business unit performance of the Company’s operating divisions and (ii) the discretion of the Committee. A new four-year cycle commences every two years, with the result that there are always two overlapping cycles in progress.

Washington Post Media (“WPM”) was comprised of most of the Company’s former newspaper publishing and affiliated businesses, sold to Nash Holdings LLC (“Nash”). WPM comprised the following subsidiaries: WP Company LLC, Express Publications Company, LLC and El Tiempo Latino LLC. Post–Newsweek Media LLC, Greater Washington Publishing, LLC and Robinson Terminal Warehouse LLC were also sold to Nash. The sale to Nash was completed in October 2013 (the “WPM Transaction”). As a result of the WPM Transaction, the Committee in January 2014 revised the valuation formulas of the 2011–2014 and 2013–2016 cycles.

Awards under the 2011–2014 cycle are based on a three-pronged formula. The 2011–2014 cycle formula consists of an average of the value of the performance units allocable to the 2011–2014 performance of WPM, Cable ONE, Inc. (“Cable ONE”) and Post–Newsweek Stations, Inc. (“PNS”) (49%); plus an average of the value of the performance units allocable to 2011–2014 performance of Cable ONE and PNS (16%); plus an amount based on Kaplan’s achievement of cumulative operating income goals during the four-year period, excluding Kaplan stock compensation expense and restructuring charges (35%).

20

Awards under the 2013–2016 cycle are based on a two-pronged formula. The 2013–2016 cycle formula consists of an average of the value of the performance units allocable to performance of Cable ONE and PNS (65%), plus an amount based on Kaplan’s achievement of cumulative operating income goals during the four-year period, excluding Kaplan stock compensation expense and restructuring charge (35%).

The Committee selected these targets because they reflected the key priorities for the Company on the grant date for the applicable time periods. The values of Performance Units in the 2011–2014 and 2013–2016cycles are determined at the conclusion of those cycles, based on the performance criteria described below.

The performance measure used in the formula at WPM under the 2011–2014 cycle is cumulative operating income over the four-year period relative to a break-even target. Valuations of performance units, based on this measure are as follows:

Performance	Unit Value
Greater than $86M	$	200
$66M to $85M	$	150
$36M to $65M	$	100
$0M to $35M	$	50
Less than $0M	$	0

In all cases, the performance measure of operating income excludes pension expense.

As a result of the WPM Transaction, awards under WPM’s 2011–2014 cycle were valued in October 2013, based on 2011–2013 performance. For WPM’s 2011–2014 cycle, the Committee determined a payout value of $75 per unit with respect to the portion of performance attributable to WPM, which will not become payable until the 2011-2014 cycle is complete and the Company's cumulative performance during the cycle is known.

The performance measure used in the formula for Cable ONE for both the 2011–2014 and 2013–2016 cycles is cumulative free cash flow over the applicable four-year period relative to a target amount. Free cash flow is defined as operating income, plus depreciation and amortization, less capital expenditures. Valuations of performance units, based on this measure, are as follows: 

Performance	Unit Value
110%	$	200
105%	$	175
100% Target	$	150
91%	$	15
Less than 91%	$	0

The performance measure used for PNS for both the 2011–2014 and 2013–2016 cycles is PNS’s cumulative cash flow margin ranking over the applicable four-year period compared to the cash flow margins of selected peer companies at the end of the award cycle. Cash flow margin is computed based on operating income plus depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of revenue. As soon as practical after the award cycle, the Committee determines PNS’s cash flow margin rank among the cash flow margins of the peer companies and determines the payout value of each performance unit. The value of each performance unit is determined as set forth in the following table: 

PNS Cash Flow Margin Rank	Unit Value
#1	$	150
#2	$	125
#3	$	50
Below #3	$	0

The PNS formula for both the 2011–2014 and 2013–2016 cycles provides that the payout value will be increased by $12.50 for each of the four years during the award cycle in which PNS’s actual cash flow margin is not only number one among peer companies, but is also 2% higher than the nearest competitor among the peer companies. The formula also provides that the payout value will be reduced by 50% if PNS does not produce operating income in one of the four years during the award cycle. If PNS does not produce operating income for at least two years in the cycle, then there will be no payout with respect to the portion of performance attributable to PNS.

Because the performance measures that compose the valuation formula for performance units are cumulative for the measures applicable to Kaplan, WPM, Cable ONE and PNS, it is not possible to calculate with certainty any interim

21

performance unit values mid-cycle, and no named executive officer is entitled to any payout until the Performance Units vest and the Committee approves the valuation at the conclusion of the cycle.

Mr. Graham holds 9,750 units in each of the 2011–2014 and 2013–2016 cycles. Mr. Jones, Mr. Rosberg, Ms. McDaniel and Ms. Dillon each holds 6,000 units in the 2011–2014 cycle and 6,500 units in the 2013–2016 cycle.

Stock Options

Although the Company grants stock options sparingly, the Plan provides that shares of Class B Stock can be issued upon the exercise of stock options that have been granted to key employees of the Company. The Committee grants options only when a key employee has made a significant contribution to the Company and demonstrates the ability to contribute more. The options generally vest 25% per year, over four years, and expire ten years from the grant date. As of the end of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year, Mr. Jones held options to acquire 4,000 shares of Class B Stock (3,000 granted in 2008 and 1,000 granted in 2010); Mr. Rosberg held options to acquire 1,000 shares of Class B Stock, granted in 2008; Ms. McDaniel held options to acquire 2,000 shares of Class B Stock (1,000 granted in 2004 and 1,000 granted in 2008); and Ms. Dillon held options to acquire 1,000 shares of Class B Stock, granted in 2008. Given Mr. Graham’s significant ownership in the Company, the Committee has not granted any stock options to Mr. Graham.

Perquisites

The Company provides few perquisites for the named executive officers. In 2013, Ms. McDaniel received financial and tax advice valued at $10,466. Ms. Dillon received financial planning services and reimbursement for living expenses valued at $75,729.

Retirement Benefits

Most employees in the Company, including named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s qualified defined contribution 401(k) and defined benefit retirement programs. Benefits under these plans are determined on the basis of base salary only, exclusive of all bonuses, deferred compensation and other forms of remuneration.

Eligible Corporate employees hired on or after September 1, 2009, participate in the Cash Balance Retirement Program (“CBRP”). Eligible Corporate employees who were actively employed on or after August 1, 2012, also participate in the Secure Retirement Account (“SRA”). Both the CBRP and the SRA are defined benefit programs in which participant account balances grow through quarterly pay-based credits and quarterly interest credits. Corporate employees hired prior to September 1, 2009, including all named executive officers who are vested and who begin to take their pension benefit at age 65 or whose age and years of service when added together equal 90, receive an annual pension equal to 1.75% of their highest average 60-month base salary annualized up to the limits permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, minus Social Security-covered compensation multiplied by the appropriate Social Security offset percentage, multiplied by the number of years of credited service under the Graham Holdings Retirement Benefits Schedule.^(A) An annual cash pension supplement is also provided to assist in payment of retiree medical coverage equal to $200 multiplied by the number of years of credited service under the Graham Holdings Retirement Benefits Schedule. An additional cash pension supplement of $3,000 per year is provided to participants who retire and commence benefit payment at or after age 55, but prior to age 65, and who had ten years of vesting service at retirement. The pre-age 65 supplement is discontinued when the retiree qualifies for Medicare (the month prior to the 65th birthday).

Due to the WPM Transaction, in accordance with the terms of the sale, approximately $318 million of assets held in The Retirement Plan for Graham Holdings Company (formerly The Retirement Plan for Washington Post Companies) were transferred to the Pension Plan for The Washington Post and Companies.

The Company maintains an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which is designed to retain and recruit key executives. Participants in the SERP, including named executive officers, are selected by management as employees whom management most wants to retain because of their superior performance and are approved for participation by the Committee.

To offset IRS limitations placed on the income that can be considered in the formulas of retirement plans and benefits that can be payable from the plans, the SERP provides a “supplemental retirement benefit.” This benefit is calculated

__________

^(A) Formerly known as TWPC Retirement Benefits Schedule. Formal amendment to change the schedule name is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014.

22

under the rules of the qualified benefit retirement plan, but without reference to the IRS-imposed income and benefit limitations, and includes in the calculation compensation from annual bonuses in the case of certain key executives (including the named executive officers). In any instance in which a retiring executive’s supplemental retirement benefit exceeds the benefit payable by the qualified benefit plan or plans, the Company will pay the excess to him or her as a supplemental retirement benefit.

The SERP also provides key executives, including the named executive officers, with tax-deferred accruals of amounts proportionate to the benefits available to non-highly compensated participants in the Company’s 401(k) savings plan, to the extent that benefits exceed those under the Company’s basic plans because of the tax law limitations ($52,000 in 2014). The executive is required to defer compensation to the SERP savings plan in order to receive the applicable matching company credit each year. Mr. Graham has waived his right to maintain a separate unfunded savings plan account under the SERP.

The Company also maintains a Deferred Compensation Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded plan that allows a select group of senior executives and non-employee Directors the opportunity to voluntarily defer, on a nonqualified basis, the receipt of certain compensation payments or fees. For employee participants, including the named executive officers, eligible compensation for deferral is limited to annual bonus and certain long-term cash awards (including performance unit grants) under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan.

The retirement plans are more fully described under “Pension Benefits,” beginning on page 27.

Employment Agreements and Severance Packages

Consistent with its policy, the Company has not entered into any employment agreements with, or guaranteed severance packages to, any of the named executive officers.

Results of Shareholder Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation

At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s Class A Shareholders unanimously approved the overall 2012 compensation for its named executive officers, including the policies and practices related thereto. The Company believes this vote reflected Class A Shareholder approval of its pay-for-performance philosophy and the absence of pay practices that shareholders consider problematic. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee generally continued to apply the same principles in determining the amounts and types of executive compensation for 2013 as outlined in its compensation philosophy and framework. The Compensation Committee values the shareholder feedback provided through the vote and will consider the results of the vote, as well as future votes, in refining the development of our compensation program and goal setting in the future.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management, and, based on such review and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

1. Amounts in this column represent special payments made in recognition of extraordinary efforts in connection with the WPM Transaction.

2. The value of the stock awards is disclosed based on the grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC TOPIC 718. They represent the fair value amounts associated with grants made through the close of the 2013 fiscal year, rather than amounts paid to or realized by the named executive officers. There can be no assurance that the amounts calculated will be realized, and amounts realized could ultimately exceed the amounts calculated. See Note 13 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2014, for a discussion of the assumptions used in valuation of the stock awards.

3. Amounts in this column for 2013 represent payments under the annual bonus plan. Amounts in this column for 2012 represent payments under the 2012 annual bonus plan, the 2009–2012 Performance Unit Plan and other plans as follows: Mr. Graham requested that the Compensation Committee not consider for payment his performance unit award valued at $1,296,750; Mr. Jones, $411,100 in annual bonus, $731,500 in performance units and an award that was granted in 2007 with a five-year cliff vest and was valued based on the estimated fair value of Kaplan stock as of 12/31/2011; Mr. Rosberg, $278,200 in annual bonus and $731,500 in performance units; Ms. McDaniel, $337,425 in annual bonus and $731,500 in performance units; Ms. Dillon, $278,200 in annual bonus and $731,500 in performance units. Amounts in this column for 2011 represent payments under the annual bonus plan.

4. There were no above-market or preferential earnings on compensation that are deferred on a basis that is not tax-qualified. Thus, no such earnings are reflected in the amounts shown in this column. 

Benefits were assumed to commence at the age when they are first unreduced, and were discounted to the date as of which they were determined (either 12/31/2013 or 12/31/2012). Assumed benefit commencement ages are shown below, rounded to the nearest age:

Graham:     age 69 (12/31/2013); age 68 (12/31/2012)

Jones:        age 63 (12/31/2013 and 12/31/2012)

Rosberg:    age 67 (12/31/2013); age 66 (12/31/2012)

McDaniel:  age 59 (12/31/2013 and 12/31/2012)

Dillon:      age 65 (12/31/2013 and 12/31/2012) 

Mr. Graham and Mr. Rosberg have both reached Normal Retirement Age (age 65). Mr. Jones, Ms. McDaniel and Ms. Dillon have all met the eligibility requirements for Early Retirement (age 55, with ten years of Company service). 

Changes in the present value of benefits in 2013 are attributable to The Retirement Plan for Graham Holdings Company (“Retirement Plan”) and the corresponding benefit under the SERP as follows: Mr. Graham, ($86,624) Retirement Plan and ($131,671) the SERP; Mr. Jones, $42,428 Retirement Plan and $510,126 the SERP; Mr. Rosberg, ($2,677) Retirement Plan and ($112,560) the SERP; Ms. McDaniel, $20,941 Retirement Plan and $412,665 the SERP; Ms. Dillon, $52,870 Retirement Plan and $195,154 the SERP.       

The values of accumulated plan benefits were determined using a discount rate of 4.80% at 12/31/2013 and a discount rate of 4.00% at 12/31/2012.

The total change in present value of accumulated benefits of less than $0 may not be shown in the total.

5. For 2013, the amounts presented include the information in the following table:

PENSION BENEFITS

The Pension Benefits table includes information related to the Company’s tax-qualified defined benefit plan, The Retirement Plan for Graham Holdings Company (the “Retirement Plan”),^(A) as well as the associated nonqualified plan, Graham Holdings Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”).^(B) The Retirement Plan covers most employees of the Company and provides benefits that are based on formulas that take into account base salary and service. Such formulas are contained in individual affiliate benefits schedules including the Graham Holdings Retirement Benefits Schedule, the Newsweek Retirement Benefits Schedule, the Cash Balance Retirement Program and the Secure Retirement Account. Benefits under the Retirement Plan become vested after three or five years of service, depending on which schedules cover the individual employee. All of the named executive officers are fully vested in their benefits under the Retirement Plan. The SERP provides benefits that are calculated based on the formulas in the Retirement Plan, but include bonuses under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan, rather than just base salary, without regard to (i) the salary limitation applicable to tax-qualified plans (currently $260,000) or (ii) the benefit limitation applicable to tax-qualified plans (currently $210,000 per year commencing at age 65). The SERP provides benefits only to the extent that the benefit described above exceeds the benefit in the Retirement Plan.

Retirement Plan Benefits Under the Graham Holdings Retirement Benefits Schedule

Mr. Graham, Mr. Jones, Mr. Rosberg, Ms. McDaniel and Ms. Dillon are participants in the Graham Holdings Retirement Benefits Schedule. Benefits payable under this Schedule include the following, subject to the limitations on tax-qualified plans mentioned above:

• An annual pension (payable one-twelfth each month) equal to (a) 1.75% of the average annual salary for the 60-month period producing the highest average; multiplied by (b) years of credited service; reduced by (c) an offset to partially reflect Social Security benefits to the extent funded by the Company. The Social Security offset is calculated by multiplying “covered compensation” by the “offset percentage.” Covered compensation in this context is the average Social Security Taxable Wage Base over the 35-year period prior to the year in which a participant reaches Social Security retirement age. The offset percentage is a percentage ranging from 0.54% to 0.60% (depending on the year of the participant’s birth), multiplied by years of credited service (which was limited up to 30 years, until the plan was amended in 2011 to recognize credited service in excess of 30 years).

•An annual Cash Pension Supplement equal to $200 multiplied by years of credited service.

• A temporary pre-age 65 supplement of $250 per month payable until age 65 to employees retiring at or after age 55 with ten years of vesting service.

Vested benefits under the Retirement Plan are generally payable in the form of a single life annuity. In addition, several optional forms are available that continue benefits to the employee’s spouse or beneficiary, with the monthly benefit amount reduced so that the resulting pension is actuarially equivalent to the single life annuity. The Retirement Plan’s normal retirement age is 65. The Graham Holdings Retirement Benefits Schedule provides a reduced benefit beginning at age 55. The reduction is a percentage based on age at retirement. For example, at age 55 with ten years of service, the reduction is 60%; at age 58, the reduction is 26%. However, if the employee’s age plus years of service at retirement is at least 90, then there is no reduction for early payment.

Retirement Plan Benefits Under the Newsweek Retirement Benefits Schedule

A portion of Ms. McDaniel’s pension benefit was earned under the Newsweek Retirement Benefits Schedule. Vested benefits payable under this Schedule include the following, subject to the limitations on tax-qualified plans mentioned above: 

• An annual pension (payable one-twelfth each month) equal to 1.1% of the highest average compensation multiplied by years of credited service with Newsweek after 1982 (with a slightly different formula for service before 1983).

•An annual Cash Pension Supplement equal to $150, multiplied by years of credited service (up to 30 years).

The Newsweek Retirement Benefits Schedule permits early retirement with full benefits at various combinations of age and service. Ms. McDaniel is presently entitled to an unreduced early retirement benefit.

__________

^(A) Formerly known as The Retirement Plan for Washington Post Companies. Formal amendment to change the plan name is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014.

^(B) Formerly known as The Washington Post Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

27

Retirement Plan Benefits Under the Kaplan Cash Balance Retirement Benefit Schedule

A portion of Mr. Jones’s and Ms. Dillon’s pension benefit was earned under the Kaplan Cash Balance Retirement Benefits Schedule. Under this Schedule, each employee has an account (expressed as a lump sum amount, rather than as an annuity) that is credited with quarterly pay-based credits and interest credits. Pay-based credits vary from 2.25% of salary to 3.75% of salary, depending on years of service. Interest is credited on these accounts at the greater of 1.41% or 1% plus the average interest rate on one-year U.S. Treasury securities. Upon retirement, the employee may elect various forms of annuities that are actuarially equivalent to the accumulated account balance or, alternatively, may elect a lump sum payment. Vested benefits are payable upon termination of employment at any age.

Retirement Plan Benefits Under the Secure Retirement Account Cash Balance Retirement Program Schedule

A portion of Mr. Graham’s, Mr. Jones’s, Mr. Rosberg’s, Ms. McDaniel’s and Ms. Dillon’s pension benefit was earned under the Secure Retirement Account Cash Balance Retirement Program Schedule (“SRA”). Under this Schedule, each employee has an account (expressed as a lump sum amount, rather than as an annuity) that is credited with quarterly pay-based credits and interest credits. Pay-based credits vary from 4.62% to 7.35%, depending on years of service. Interest is credited on these accounts at the greater of 1.41% or 1% plus the average interest rate on one-year U.S. Treasury securities. Upon retirement, the employee may elect various forms of annuities that are actuarially equivalent to the accumulated account balance, or alternatively, may elect a lump sum payment. Vested benefits are payable upon termination of employment at any age.

SERP Benefits

As explained above, the SERP provides benefits to each of the named executive officers under the formulas outlined above, counting bonuses in addition to salary, without regard to the limits on compensation and benefits, to the extent that the resulting total benefit exceeds the benefits payable under the Retirement Plan. Benefits under the SERP are paid at retirement or age 55, if later, and are payable either in the form of a life annuity or an actuarially equivalent optional form of benefit in the Retirement Plan, provided that any benefits otherwise payable before the first day of the seventh month following retirement will be withheld until such date.

1. Data in this column represent the number of years of credited service earned by the named executive officer as of December 31, 2013. Ms. McDaniel has prior service with Newsweek. Mr. Jones and Ms. Dillon have prior service with Kaplan. All are included in this column.

2. Amounts in this column represent the actuarial present value of the named executive officer’s accumulated benefits under the plan as of December 31, 2013. The benefits valued for Mr. Graham and Mr. Rosberg include the Company and SRA amounts. The benefits valued for Ms. McDaniel include the Company, Newsweek and SRA amounts. The benefits valued for Mr. Jones and Ms. Dillon include the Company, Kaplan Cash Balance and SRA amounts. The assumptions used in determining the present value of accumulated benefits are the RP-2000 Fully Generational Mortality Table for males and females and a 4.80% discount rate. The benefits valued reflect service and earnings through December 31, 2013, and are valued as payable on the date at which they are unreduced. There can be no assurance that the amounts listed in this column will ever be fully paid out to the applicable named executive officer.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

The following table includes information related to the SERP and the Deferred Compensation Plan. Among the benefits provided under the SERP is a supplemental defined contribution plan benefit wherein the Company provides a matching contribution percentage up to 4% of the participating executive’s base salary in excess of the annual covered compensation limit applied to qualified plan benefits. The executive is required to make contributions to the SERP in order to receive the applicable matching Company credit each year. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides an opportunity for participants to voluntarily defer the receipt of all or a portion of annual bonus and/or certain long-term cash awards under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan. Elections to defer must be filed in advance of earning such awards. Deferred amounts under both plans will earn investment credits in accordance with the participant’s elections from a choice of investment indexes. Amounts deferred under the SERP are payable on the first day of the seventh month following termination of service. Amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan are payable on the first business day of the seventh month following the date of separation from service or such other future date as specified by the participant at the time of election. Effective for deferral elections made on or after January 1, 2014, amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan are payable on the first business day of the seventh month following the date of separation of service regardless of the participant’s elections.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

One of the standing committees of the Board of Directors of the Company is the Audit Committee. Currently there are three non-employee members of the Board on the Audit Committee: Christopher C. Davis; Thomas S. Gayner, who serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee; and G. Richard Wagoner, Jr. The Audit Committee operates under a delegation of authority from the Board of Directors, which has determined that each Committee member is “independent” under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Specifically, the Board determined that none of the members of the Audit Committee (or any immediate family member) (i) had been employed by or affiliated with the Company within the past three years, (ii) received any compensation from the Company other than Director and committee fees, (iii) is an employee of a company that makes payments to or receives payments from the Company in an amount that exceeds the greater of $1 million or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues within the past three years or (iv) has a material relationship with the Company.

Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and for the financial reporting process, including its system of internal control. The Company’s independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, is responsible for auditing those financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and for issuing a report thereon. In this context, the Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review these processes, as well as the independence and performance of the Company’s auditor. In undertaking its monitoring and reviewing responsibilities, without independent verification, the Audit Committee has relied on (i) management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and (ii) the representations of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP included in their report on the Company’s financial statements.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited fiscal year 2013 financial statements with the Company’s management. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence. The Audit Committee has also considered whether PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the independence of such firm.

The Audit Committee also reviewed matters relating to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Preapproval policy

In 2013, the Audit Committee again reviewed and reauthorized its policies and procedures with regard to the preapproval of audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received preapproval, it will require specific preapproval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding preapproved cost levels will require specific preapproval by the Audit Committee. The term of any preapproval is 12 months from the date of preapproval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will periodically review and preapprove the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific preapproval from the Chairman of the Audit Committee, as well as revise the list of preapproved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The Audit Committee will not delegate to management responsibilities to preapprove services performed by the independent auditor to management. The Audit Committee may delegate preapproval authority to one or more of its members. The annual audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific preapproval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Company structure or other matters. In addition to the annual audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant preapproval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide.

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services does not impair the independence of the independent auditor.

30

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide tax services to the Company, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice, without impairing such auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.

The Audit Committee may grant preapproval of those permissible non-audit services classified as “All Other” services that it believes are routine and recurring services and would not impair the independence of the auditor. Preapproval fee levels for all such services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific preapproval by the Audit Committee.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Accounting Officer (or other designated officer) and must include a statement from that individual as to whether, in his or her view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence.

In addition, the Audit Committee has established procedures for, and received periodic reports on, the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters through the use of a third-party-managed telephone hotline.

Audit Fees

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s fees for the annual audit, statutory audits and reviews of financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly filings, including reimbursable expenses, were $4,476,100 in 2013 and $4,126,500 in 2012, which fees were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee.

Audit-Related Fees

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s fees for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or reviews of financial statements and not included under “Audit Fees” above, including reimbursable expenses, were $30,000 in 2013 and $30,000 in 2012, which fees were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. These fees were primarily for financial due diligence and transaction analysis and other audit-related reports.

Tax Fees

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including reimbursable expenses, were $952,300 in 2013 and $1,430,900 in 2012, which fees were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. These fees were primarily for tax due diligence and transaction analysis, as well as federal, multistate and foreign tax consulting.

All Other Fees

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s fees for a finance and accounting research tool provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were $9,600 in 2013 and $16,600 in 2012, which fees were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee.

Based on such review and discussion and in reliance thereon, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
