The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Company likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Emmis filed suit against Illinois National Insurance Company (“INIC”) in 2015 related to INIC’s decision to not cover Emmis’ defense costs under Emmis’ directors and officers insurance policy in a lawsuit related to the Company’s preferred stock in which Emmis was the defendant (the “Prior Litigation”). On March 21, 2018, Emmis was granted summary judgment entitling it to coverage of its defense costs in the Prior Litigation. On October 10, 2018, Emmis and INIC agreed that the amount of Emmis’ damages are $3.5 million. On November 7, 2018, INIC appealed the District Court’s summary judgment determination that the insurance policy covers Emmis’ defense costs. The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit is scheduled to hear oral arguments by both parties on May 30, 2019. Accordingly, Emmis cannot estimate the amount or timing of a recovery, if any.
