NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE MAJORITY OF

STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED

NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

To the stockholders of Tribune Media Company:

The enclosed Information Statement is being furnished by Tribune Media Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the holders of record of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and our Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), at the close of business on December 15, 2014 (the “Record Date”), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The purpose of the enclosed Information Statement is to inform our stockholders of the approval by written consent of requisite holders of our common stock of the filing of a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 and, accordingly, the number of total authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 1,240,000,000 to 2,040,000,000 (the “Action”).

The Certificate of Amendment was approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on December 15, 2014, directing that it be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their approval. As of the Record Date, there were 94,900,407 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 2,941,408 shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding. As of May 22, 2015, the Company had received written consents in lieu of a meeting of stockholders to approve the Certificate of Amendment from (i) holders of shares of Class B Common Stock representing approximately 82.4% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock as of the Record Date and (ii) holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a class, representing approximately 51.0% of the aggregate outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the Record Date (together, the “Majority Stockholders”).

Accordingly, as of May 22, 2015, the Company had received the requisite number of written consents from the Majority Stockholders to approve the Action. Your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Certificate of Amendment. The Certificate of Amendment will become effective when we file the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment will not be filed, and will not become effective, until the date that is at least 20 days after the enclosed Information Statement is mailed to our stockholders. We have attached as Exhibit A hereto a form of the Certificate of Amendment.

The Action taken by written consent was taken pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and Section 2.06 of our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which provide that any action that may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken by the written consent of the holders of the number of shares of voting stock required to approve the action at a meeting. On such basis, to eliminate the need to hold a special meeting of our Class A and Class B stockholders, the Action was approved by the Majority Stockholders by written consent in accordance with the DGCL and the Bylaws. This Information Statement is being furnished to our stockholders as of the Record Date in accordance with Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, solely for the purpose of informing our stockholders of the actions taken by the written consent before they become effective.

 


The purpose and effect of the Certificate of Amendment is to match the number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock with the current number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock because of the cross-convertibility feature of each class of our common stock, as described further in the enclosed Information Statement.

THE ACCOMPANYING INFORMATION STATEMENT IS BEING MAILED ON OR ABOUT JUNE 1, 2015 TO STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD ON THE RECORD DATE. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDER MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER WHICH IS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

 

Sincerely,

To eliminate the need to hold a special meeting of our Class A and Class B stockholders, action by the written consent of the requisite holders of our common stock was undertaken.

ACTION: APPROVAL OF THE CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECTUATE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK

On December 15, 2014, our Board approved the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which authorizes an increase in the number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 and, accordingly, the number of total authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 1,240,000,000 to 2,040,000,000. As of May 22, 2015, the Company had received the requisite number of written consents from the Majority Stockholders to approve the Certificate of Amendment. No further action of our stockholders is required to approve the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment. You are hereby being provided with notice of the approval of such amendment by less than unanimous written consent of our stockholders. The form of the Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

Promptly after the 20th day after the date this Information Statement has been sent to stockholders, we intend to take all other required actions to complete the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment consistent with the foregoing by filing the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The increase in our authorized Class B Common Stock and our total authorized capital stock will become effective on the date of filing.

We are currently authorized by our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 200,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of the Record Date, there were 94,900,407 shares of our Class A Common Stock, 2,941,408 shares of our Class B Common Stock and no share

 

2


of our Preferred Stock outstanding. As of the Record Date, there were a total of 2,009,961 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants and 1,818,371 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and vesting of restricted stock awards (together, the “Outstanding Issuable Securities”).

The additional shares of Class B Common Stock authorized under the Certificate of Amendment have rights identical to the currently outstanding Class B Common Stock of the Company. Except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a holder of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders except that (i) a holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share and shall be entitled to vote as a separate class on any amendment, alteration, change or repeal of any provision of our Certificate of Incorporation that adversely affects the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class B Common Stock in a manner different from the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class A Common Stock and (ii) a holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share, voting together with the holders of Class A Common Stock as a single class, on certain non-ordinary course transactions to the extent that such transaction is submitted to a vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock. The holders of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by our Board out of funds legally available therefore.

Considerations Relating to the Increase in Class B Common Stock Authorized Shares

The purpose and effect of the Certificate of Amendment is to match the number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock with the current number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock. On July 14, 2014, our stockholders approved our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which became effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 15, 2014. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provided for an increase in the total authorized capital stock of the Company from 440,000 to 1,240,000,000 and an increase in the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. However, under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock remained at 200,000,000. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also allows for shares of Class A Common Stock to convert into an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock and for shares of Class B Common Stock to convert into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, each subject to certain procedural requirements. In light of the cross-convertibility feature of each class of our common stock and the prior increase in the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to 1,000,000,000, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company for the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock to match the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock so as to accommodate any conversion of shares of Class A Common Stock into shares of Class B Common Stock at any time and from time to time.

Increasing the number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock to match the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock provides the Company with the appropriate flexibility to pursue finance and corporate opportunities involving our common stock, which may include private or public offerings of our equity securities, or to issue stock dividends. We have no immediate plans, arrangements or understandings to issue any additional shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, other than pursuant to equity compensation plans or upon the exercise of Warrants.

The shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be available for issuance by the Board for proper corporate purposes, including but not limited to, stock dividends, acquisitions, financings and equity compensation plans. The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future would have the effect of diluting earnings per share, voting power and common shareholdings of stockholders and could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock.

While the increase in the authorized number of shares of Class B Common Stock is not designed to deter or prevent a change of control, under some circumstances we could use the additional authorized shares to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the Company by, for example, issuing those shares in private placements to purchasers who might side with our Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid. The increase in the authorized number of shares of Class B Common Stock did not result from our knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate our securities or to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise, and we did not take action to increase the authorized shares of our Class B Common Stock to enable us to frustrate any efforts by another party to acquire a controlling interest or to seek representation on our Board.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table shows the amount of our common stock beneficially owned as of May 15, 2015, by those known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock, by our directors and named executive officers individually and by our directors and all of our executive officers as a group.

The percentage of shares outstanding provided in the tables is based on 95,104,916 shares of our Class A Common stock and 41,674 shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding as of May 15, 2015. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. The SEC’s rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to each person who possesses, either solely or shared with others, the voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of those securities. The rules also treat as outstanding all shares of capital stock that a person would receive upon exercise of stock options held by that person that are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Under these rules, one or more persons may be a deemed beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities to which such person has no economic interest. For purposes of calculating the total percentage beneficially owned only, we have assumed the exercise of all Warrants by all holders of Warrants into shares of Class A Common Stock. As of May 15, 2015, there were 1,250,318 Warrants outstanding.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each beneficial owner who is also a director or executive officer is 435 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
