Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On March 12, 2019, Tribune Media Company (“Tribune”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 30, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Tribune, Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (“Nexstar”) and Titan Merger Sub, Inc., providing for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Tribune common stock by Nexstar. A total of 64,157,242 shares of Tribune’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock were voted in person or by proxy, representing approximately 73% of Tribune’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock, counted as a single class, entitled to be voted, which constituted a quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting.

Holders of Tribune’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock, voting as a single class, considered, and a majority approved, a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Holders of Tribune’s Class A common stock considered, and a majority present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the compensation proposal approved a non-binding, advisory proposal on certain compensation that may be paid to the Tribune’s named executive officers in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as described in Tribune’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2019.

As Tribune received the requisite approval from its stockholders to adopt the Merger Agreement, no vote was taken on the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies.

The final voting results of the stockholders vote at the Special Meeting are set forth below:
