INTRODUCTION
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Saga Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of StockholdersShareholders to be held on Monday, May 11, 202010, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”), and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of the Annual Meeting. All stockholdersshareholders of record of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the “Common Stock”) at the close of business on March 16, 2020,22, 2021, will be entitled to vote. The stock transfer books will not be closed. This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card were first mailed to stockholdersshareholders on or about April 16, 2020.15, 2021.
StockholdersShareholders attending the Annual Meeting may vote by ballot. However, since many stockholdersshareholders may be unable to attend the Annual Meeting, the Board is soliciting proxies so that each stockholdershareholder at the close of business on the record date has the opportunity to vote on the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Please be advised that, we are monitoring developments regarding the coronavirus, or COVID-19, and preparing in the event any changes for our Annual Meeting are necessary or appropriate. If we decide to make any change, such as to the date or location, or to hold the meeting solely by remote communication, we will announce the change in advance and post details, including instructions on how stockholdersshareholders can participate, on our website at www.sagacommunications.com, and file them with the SEC. We also recommend that you visit our website to confirm the status of the Annual Meeting before planning to attend in person.
Registered stockholdersshareholders can simplify their voting and save us expense by voting by telephone or by the Internet. Telephone and Internet voting information is on the proxy card. StockholdersShareholders not voting by telephone or Internet may return the proxy card. StockholdersShareholders holding shares through a bank or broker should follow the voting instructions on the form they receive from the bank or broker. The availability of telephone and Internet voting will depend on the bank’s or broker’s voting process.
Any stockholdershareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by filing a later-dated proxy with us, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person, or by notifying us of the revocation in writing to our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) at 73 Kercheval Avenue, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan 48236. Proxies received in time for the voting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions of the stockholder.shareholder. Any proxy which fails to specify a choice will be voted “FOR” the election of each nominee for director listed in Proposal 1, “FOR” Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5, and “AGAINST” Proposal 6.3.
The holders of record of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the Annual Meeting may be postponed from time to time until stockholdersshareholders holding the requisite amount are present or represented by proxy.
As of March 16, 2020,22, 2021, we had outstanding and entitled to vote 5,043,0675,042,752 shares of Class A Common Stock and 953,842937,641 shares of Class B Common Stock.
In the election of directors, the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate class with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote per share, elect two of our directors. The holders of the Common Stock, voting as a single class with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes, elect the remaining five directors. For

and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes, elect the remaining five directors. For Proposal 2 Proposal 3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5, and Proposal 6,3, and any other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the holders of the Common Stock will vote together as a single class, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes.
If you withhold your vote with respect to the election of the directors or abstain from voting on Proposal 2 Proposal 3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5, or Proposal 6,3, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum. The two nominees to be elected by holders of Class A Common Stock and the five nominees to be elected by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together, who receive the greatest number of votes cast for their election will be elected directors. Votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote on the election of directors and will therefore have no effect on the outcome. With respect to Proposal 2 and Proposal 3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5, and Proposal 6, stockholdersshareholders may vote in favor of or against the proposal, or abstain from voting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes, is required for the adoption of Proposal 2 Proposal 3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5, and Proposal 6.3. Abstentions on Proposals 2 and 3 will be treated as votes cast and therefore have the same effect as a vote against the proposals. Although our Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the stockholder votes on Proposal 4, those votes will not be binding on the Board of Directors and are advisory in nature.
If your shares are held in “street name” (the​(the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee), the nominee may require your instructions in order to vote your shares. If you give your nominee instructions, your shares will be voted as directed. If you do not give your nominee instructions and the proposal is considered “routine,” brokers are generally permitted to vote your shares in their discretion. Proposal 2 will be considered routine. For all other proposals, brokers are not permitted to vote your shares in their discretion. Proposal 1 Proposal 3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5, and Proposal 63 will not be considered routine and, therefore, brokers will not have discretionary authority to vote on them. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares. Shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purposes of determining a quorum, but will not be considered entitled to vote on the proposal in question.
In some instances we may deliver only one copy of this proxy statement and the 20192020 Annual Report to multiple stockholdersshareholders sharing a common address. If requested by phone or in writing, we will promptly provide a separate copy of the proxy statement and the 20192020 Annual Report to a stockholdershareholder sharing an address with another stockholder.shareholder. Requests by phone should be directed to our CFO at (313) 886-7070, and requests in writing should be sent to Saga Communications, Inc., Attention: Chief Financial Officer, 73 Kercheval Avenue, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan 48236. StockholdersShareholders sharing an address who currently receive multiple copies and wish to receive only a single copy should contact their broker or send a signed, written request to us at the address above.

However, given Mr. Pearce’sLada’s experience serving as Chief Operating Officer of the Company, handling numerous tax returns and statements, supervising internal books and corporate accountants, and collaborating with outside accounting firms to produce tax returns, we believe Mr. Pearce’sLada’s membership on the Finance and Audit Committee is required by the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.shareholders.
The Finance and Audit Committee is responsible for retaining and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm and approving the services performed by it; for overseeing our financial reporting process, accounting principles, the integrity of our financial statements, and our system of internal accounting controls; and for overseeing our internal audit function.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is responsible for making a recommendation of the compensation of the CEO without management present, with such recommendation then presented to the Board for final determination. With respect to the compensation of the other executive officers, the CEO provides input and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee then makes a recommendation to the Board, and the Board decides the compensation to be paid to such executive officers. The Compensation Committee also reviews director compensation and makes recommendations to the Board for the Board’s approval with respect to such review.
The Compensation Committee is also responsible for administering our stock plans, our Second Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (“2005 Incentive Compensation Plan”), and the Chief Executive Officer Annual Incentive Plan, as amended (“CEO Plan”), except to the extent that such responsibilities have been retained by the Board.

Identifying Director Nominees; Consideration of Nominees of the Stockholders
While the Board does not have a charter detailing the director nomination process, the Board may employ a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. The Board regularly assesses the size of the Board, the need for particular expertise on the Board, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Board considers various potential candidates for director which may come to the Board’s attention through current Board members, professional search firms, stockholders, or other persons. These candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Board, and may be considered at any point during the year.
The Board will consider candidates recommended by stockholders when the nominations are properly submitted. The deadlines and procedures for stockholder submissions of director nominees are described below under “Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations for Annual Meetings.” Following verification of the stockholder status of persons recommending candidates, the Board makes an initial analysis of the qualifications of any candidate recommended by stockholders or others pursuant to the criteria summarized above to determine whether the candidate is qualified for service on the Board before deciding to undertake a complete evaluation of the candidate. If any materials are provided by a stockholder or professional search firm in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials are forwarded to the Board as part of its review. Other than the verification of compliance with procedures and stockholder status, and the initial analysis performed by the Board, a potential candidate nominated by a stockholder is treated like any other potential candidate during the review process by the Board.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board believes that the Company’s CEO is best situated to serve as Chairman because he is the director most familiar with the Company’s business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. The Chairman/CEO is totally immersed in the Company’s day-to-day operations and is in the best position to bring his ideas to the independent directors. The independent directors can then use their collective experience, oversight, and expertise to bear in determining the strategies and priorities the Company should follow. The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman and CEO promotes the best interests of the Company and makes the best use of the expertise of the Chairman/CEO and his unique insights into the challenges facing the Company, the opportunities available to the Company, and the operations of the Company. Together, the Chairman/​CEO and independent directors develop the strategic direction of the Company. Once developed, management is accountable for the execution of the strategy. The Board believes that this is the appropriate balance of having a fully informed Chairman and independent oversight. In connection with this, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the independent directors shall meet at least annually in executive session without management or non-independent directors present and that the longest serving independent member of the Board is designated as the “Lead Director” and will preside at such meetings. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that if an actual or potential conflict of interest arises for a director, the director shall promptly inform the CEO and the Lead Director. Further, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide, as set forth in further detail above, that stockholders wishing to contact the Board may address their correspondence to the Lead Director (or any individual director).its shareholders.
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Rather, due to the size of the Board and the Board’s desire to be involved in the nomination process, the Board as a whole identifies and evaluates each candidate for director, and recommends a slate of director nominees to the shareholders for election at each annual meeting of shareholders. Shareholders may recommend nominees for election as directors by writing to the corporate Secretary.
Criteria and Diversity
In considering whether to recommend any candidate for inclusion in the Board’s slate of recommended nominees, the Board considers the following qualifications: relevant management and/or industry experience; high personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; a commitment to representing the long-term interests of our shareholders as a whole rather than special interest groups or constituencies; independence pursuant to NASDAQ’s guidelines; and an ability and willingness to devote sufficient time to carrying out his or her duties. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that the Company endeavors to have a Board representing a diverse experience in areas that are relevant to the Company’s activities. All of

our directors have relevant management and/or industry experience which they use to provide valuable advice and direction in connection with their oversight of the Company. Every director has been an executive officer responsible for leading and managing his company’s operations. With respect to the nomination of continuing directors for re-election, each individual’s contributions to the Board are also considered. The Company believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that permit the Board to fulfill its oversight responsibilities. Nominees are not selected or discriminated against on the basis of gender, national origin, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other basis proscribed by law.
Identifying Director Nominees; Consideration of Nominees of the Shareholders
While the Board does not have a charter detailing the director nomination process, the Board may employ a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. The Board regularly assesses the size of the Board, the need for particular expertise on the Board, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Board considers various potential candidates for director which may come to the Board’s attention through current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders, or other persons. These candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Board, and may be considered at any point during the year. Mr. Michael J. Bergner was presented for consideration as a nominee for director by the CEO of the Company, and approved by the Board as part of the 2021 slate of director nominees of the Board at a regular meeting of directors.
The Board will consider candidates recommended by shareholders when the nominations are properly submitted. The deadlines and procedures for shareholder submissions of director nominees are described below under “Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations for Annual Meetings.” Following verification of the shareholder status of persons recommending candidates, the Board makes an initial analysis of the qualifications of any candidate recommended by shareholders or others pursuant to the criteria summarized above to determine whether the candidate is qualified for service on the Board before deciding to undertake a complete evaluation of the candidate. If any materials are provided by a shareholder or professional search firm in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials are forwarded to the Board as part of its review. Other than the verification of compliance with procedures and shareholder status, and the initial analysis performed by the Board, a potential candidate nominated by a shareholder is treated like any other potential candidate during the review process by the Board.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board believes that the Company’s CEO is best situated to serve as Chairman because he is the director most familiar with the Company’s business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. The Chairman/CEO is totally immersed in the Company’s day-to-day operations and is in the best position to bring his ideas to the independent directors. The independent directors can then use their collective experience, oversight, and expertise to bear in determining the strategies and priorities the Company should follow. The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman and CEO promotes the best interests of the Company and makes the best use of the expertise of the Chairman/CEO and his unique insights into the challenges facing the Company, the opportunities available to the Company, and the operations of the Company. Together, the Chairman/​CEO and independent directors develop the strategic direction of the Company. Once developed, management is accountable for the execution of the strategy. The Board believes that this is the appropriate balance of having a fully informed Chairman and independent oversight. In connection with this, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the independent directors shall meet at least annually in executive session without management or non-independent directors present and that the longest serving independent member of the Board is designated as the “Lead Director” and will preside at such meetings. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that if an actual or potential conflict of interest arises for a director, the director shall promptly inform the CEO and the Lead Director. Further, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide, as set forth in further detail above, that shareholders wishing to contact the Board may address their correspondence to the Lead Director (or any individual director).

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The Board’s role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, and strategic (with respect to the Company as a whole and with respect to each station and the markets in which each station is located). The Board receives these reports from the appropriate officer within the organization to enable it, pursuant to the Corporate Governance Guidelines, to assess the major risks facing the Company and review options for their mitigation. The Finance and Audit Committee, pursuant to the Finance and Audit Committee’s charter, is required to discuss policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management as relates to the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process. During the meeting of the Board, the Chairman or any other member of the Finance and Audit Committee reports on any applicable discussion relating to risk to the Board.
FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act.
Our management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of our financial statements, the accounting and financial reporting principles, and the internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditors are responsible for an integrated audit of our financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. The integrated audit is designed to express an opinion on our consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Finance and Audit Committee’s responsibility is generally to monitor and oversee these processes.
In performing its oversight function, the Finance and Audit Committee:
•
Met to review and discuss our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 with our management and our independent auditors;
​
•
Discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T; and
​
•
Received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the Finance and Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed the independent auditors’ independence with them.
​
While the Finance and Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in its charter, it is not the duty of the Finance and Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is the responsibility of management. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for planning and conducting its audits.
Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Finance and Audit Committee referred to above and in its charter, the Finance and Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2 — TO RATIFY APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Pursuant to the Finance and Audit Committee’s charter, each year the Finance and Audit Committee appoints the Company’s independent auditor, after considering, among other things, the independent auditor’s independence, its services, and its fees for audit and non-audit services. After considering these matters, the Finance and Audit Committee appointed UHY to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
The Board is asking the stockholdersshareholders to ratify the appointment of UHY. The holders of the Common Stock will vote together as a single class, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes. In accordance with Delaware Generalthe Florida Business Corporation LawAct the appointment will be ratified by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote thereon present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Although stockholdershareholder ratification of the appointment is not required, if the stockholdersshareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Finance and Audit Committee will consider such vote in its decision to appoint the independent registered public accounting firm for 2021.2022.
The Finance and Audit Committee and the Company’s Board believe that the retention of UHY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Representatives of UHY are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will respond to appropriate questions of stockholders.shareholders.

regulations. As permitted by the applicable regulations, the Finance and Audit Committee’s policy utilizes a combination of specific pre-approval on a case-by-case basis of individual engagements of the independent auditor and pre-approval of certain categories of engagements up to predetermined dollar thresholds that are reviewed by the Finance and Audit Committee. Specific pre-approval is mandatory for the annual financial statement audit engagement, among others. The Finance and Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee the authority to approve permitted services provided that the Chair reports any decisions to the Finance and Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
The pre-approval policy was implemented effective as of May 6, 2003, as required by the applicable regulations. All engagements of the independent auditor to perform any audit services and non-audit services since that date have been pre-approved by the Finance and Audit Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policy. The policy has not been waived in any instance.
The Board recommends a vote “FOR” ratification of the appointment of UHY LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.2021.

PROPOSAL 3 — TO RE-APPROVE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN
The Board is asking stockholders to re-approve the material terms of the Chief Executive Officer Annual Incentive Plan, as amended (the “CEO Plan”). Stockholders approved the CEO Plan at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in May 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015. The CEO Plan provides the CEO with the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus. Among other reasons, the use of performance driven requirements in the CEO Plan was designed to permit the bonus payments to be fully deductible and exempt from Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which generally limits the Company’s deduction for federal income tax purposes for certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to “covered employees” (generally, the top five named executive officers in the summary compensation table) of a publicly held corporation. Comprehensive federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017 (the “Act”), eliminated the performance-based compensation exception to the $1 million limitation, beginning January 1, 2018. The Act, however, provided a transition rule with respect to remuneration which is provided pursuant to a written binding contract which was in effect on November 2, 2017 and which was not materially modified after that date. There have been no material changes to the terms of the CEO Plan since it was last amended in January 2005. Additionally, in order for the compensation to be considered “qualified performance-based,” the Section 162(m) regulations generally require that stockholders re-approve the material terms every five years. Because approximately five years have passed since approval of the material terms of the CEO Plan, the Board is submitting this proposal to stockholders for re-approval of the material terms.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required to re-approve the material terms of the CEO Plan. If approved, and unless the material terms are subsequently changed, the material terms will meet the stockholder approval requirements of Section 162(m) until 2025. If stockholders fail to approve the proposal, we will still be able to make bonus awards under the CEO Plan, but such awards will be subject to the deduction limit under Section 162(m).
Stockholders are not being asked to approve any amendments to the CEO Plan or to approve the CEO Plan itself under this proposal, but are only being asked to re-approve the material terms of the CEO Plan for compliance with Section 162(m).
A summary of the material terms of the CEO Plan, including the performance goals, is set forth below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Appendix A to this proxy statement, which contains the CEO Plan in its entirety.
Purpose
The CEO Plan is intended to and was designed to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by establishing and providing performance-based incentives in connection with the payment of bonuses to the CEO, while permitting such compensation to be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes. The CEO Plan was originally effective as of January 1, 2000, and amended effective as of January 1, 2005.
Description of the Plan
Participation.   Only our CEO is eligible to participate in the CEO Plan.
Administration.   The CEO Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee has the authority to interpret the CEO Plan, to establish or revise CEO Plan rules and regulations, and to make any determinations necessary to administer the CEO Plan.
Bonus Awards.   Within ninety days after the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes a target bonus opportunity for the CEO. The amount of the target bonus actually paid is based on the extent to which pre-established corporate and financial performance goals are met. The performance goals may include any or all of the following, which may be specified on a consolidated, same station, pro forma, per share, and/or segment basis: (i) earnings (as measured by net income, operating income,

15
TABLE OF CONTENTS

operating income before interest, EBIT, EBITA, EBITDA, pretax income, or cash earnings, or earnings as adjusted by excluding one or more components of earnings); (ii) revenue (as measured by operating revenue or net operating revenue); (iii) cash flow; (iv) free cash flow; (v) broadcast cash flow (“BCF”), margins and/or margin growth; (vi) earnings and/or revenue growth; (vii) working capital; (viii) market capitalization; (ix) market revenue performance; (x) achievement and/or maintenance of target stock prices; (xi) stock price growth; (xii) return on equity; (xiii) return on investment; (xiv) return on assets/net assets; and (xv) station market ratings. The goals and the relative weight given to each for any particular year are approved by the Compensation Committee.
The bonus payments under the CEO Plan are calculated at the end of the fiscal year based on the achievement of the annual performance goals. The amount earned is paid in cash after the financial results are available for our fiscal year to which the bonus pertains. In the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the CEO may elect to defer payment of all or any part of any bonus by complying with such procedures as the Compensation Committee may prescribe. The Compensation Committee must certify in writing that the performance criteria have been met prior to any payments under the CEO Plan. If the performance criteria are not met, the CEO will not be entitled to any bonus award under the CEO Plan, however, the Compensation Committee may award a portion of the potential bonus amount in its discretion. If awarded, such discretionary bonus amount will not be deemed to be “qualified performance-based compensation” and therefore will be subject to the deduction limit under Section 162(m).
The amount to be paid to the CEO will depend on the factors set forth above. However, the maximum bonus that the CEO may receive under the CEO Plan in any one fiscal year is 500% of his base salary. Generally, the CEO must be actively employed by the Company or a subsidiary and on the payroll on the date the award is paid to receive the award. Certain pro rata awards may be made if termination of employment results from retirement, permanent disability or death.
Amendment and Termination.   The Company may terminate, suspend or amend the CEO Plan, in whole or in part, at any time so long as, with respect to any amendment, as determined necessary by the Compensation Committee, stockholder approval required by Section 162(m) has been obtained. No amendment, termination or modification may adversely affect outstanding awards under the CEO Plan without the CEO’s consent.
Federal Income Tax Consequences.   Under current federal income tax law, the CEO will realize ordinary compensation income equal to the amount of the bonus received in the year received. The Company will receive a corresponding deduction for the amount the CEO recognizes as ordinary income, provided that the amount of such deduction is not limited under the provisions of Section 162(m). It is our intention that the CEO Plan be administered in a manner which maximizes the deductibility of compensation for the Company under Section 162(m) and the Act to the extent practicable and consistent with the Company’s business considerations.
Plan Benefits.   In March 2020, the Compensation Committee established the performance goals and the potential bonus amounts for 2020 under the CEO Plan. If the performance goals are achieved in full, Mr. Christian is eligible to receive a bonus of up to $1,000,000. The actual amounts, if any, that will be received by Mr. Christian under the CEO Plan for 2020 are contingent upon achieving the specified performance goals and, therefore, are not determinable at this time. For 2019, Mr. Christian was awarded a cash bonus of $700,000 under the CEO Plan, based on the Company achieving certain performance goals for 2019. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Bonuses.”
The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the re-approval of the material terms of the Chief Executive Officer Annual Incentive Plan.

PROPOSAL 4 — TO ADOPT, BY A NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE,
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Board of Directors recognizes the significant interest of stockholders in executive compensation matters. Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act (which was amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”)), we are providing our stockholders with an opportunity to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (referred to as a “Say On Pay” vote) as disclosed in the 2019 Summary Compensation Table and other tables, and the related narratives under, the “Compensation of Executive Officers,” as well under the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” sections of this proxy statement, in accordance with Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.
Beginning at the annual meeting of the stockholders held on May 9, 2011, our stockholders were given the opportunity to provide an advisory vote on named executive compensation. In addition, a majority of stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the May 9, 2011 annual meeting voted “FOR” Proposal 4, which proposal recommended that the future frequency with which stockholders would be provided an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers be set at every three years. At the annual meeting of the stockholders held on May 8, 2017, a majority of stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the May 8, 2017 annual meeting voted “FOR” Proposal 3, which proposal recommended that the future frequency with which stockholders would be provided an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers continue to be set at every three years. The next stockholder advisory vote regarding the frequency with which stockholders will be provided an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers will occur at the 2023 annual meeting of the stockholders.
Our compensation philosophy and framework have resulted in compensation for our named executive officers that is commensurate with both the Company’s financial results and the other performance factors described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain executives and professionals of the highest level of quality and effectiveness. These programs focus on rewarding the types of performance that increase stockholder value and link executive compensation to the Company’s long-term strategic objectives and align executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders. The Company believes that its executive compensation programs, which emphasize variable bonus compensation, including targeted performance-based bonus compensation for our CEO, satisfy these goals.
As this is an advisory vote, the result will not be binding on our Board of Directors, although our Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, will consider the outcome of the vote when evaluating the effectiveness of our compensation policies and practices. We are asking for stockholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules, which disclosures include the disclosures under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Compensation of Executive Officers.” This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the executive compensation policies and practices described in this proxy statement.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock entitled to vote, voting together as a single class, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes, is required for the advisory approval of this proposal.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the following non-binding resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and the narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”
Unless a proxy is marked to give a different direction, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the shares represented thereby in favor of the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL 5 — TO APPROVE THE REINCOPRORATION OF THE COMPANY
FROM THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA
The Board has unanimously approved a change in our state of incorporation from Delaware to Florida (the “Reincorporation”) pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement providing for us to merge into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in Florida (“Saga Florida”), subject to the approval of our stockholders and certain other conditions. The name of the company after the Reincorporation will remain Saga Communications, Inc. For purposes of the discussion below, the company as it currently exists as a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware is sometimes referred to as “Saga Delaware.”
The Board believes that the Reincorporation is in the best interests of the Company, will reduce our franchise tax liabilities and will help maximize stockholder value.
Stockholders are urged to read this proposal carefully, including all of the related exhibits referenced below and attached to this proxy statement, before voting on the Reincorporation. The following discussion summarizes material provisions of the Reincorporation. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Reincorporation Agreement”) that will be entered into by Saga Delaware and Saga Florida in substantially the form attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B, the Articles of Incorporation of Saga Florida to be effective immediately following the Reincorporation (the “Florida Articles”), in substantially the form attached to this proxy statement as Appendix C, and the Bylaws of Saga Florida to be effective immediately following the Reincorporation (the “Florida Bylaws”), in substantially the form attached to this proxy statement as Appendix D. Copies of the Certificate of Incorporation of Saga Delaware filed in Delaware, as amended to date (the “Delaware Certificate”), and the bylaws of Saga Delaware, as amended to date (the “Delaware Bylaws”), are filed publicly as exhibits to our periodic reports and are also available for inspection at our principal executive offices. Copies will be sent to shareholders free of charge upon written request to Saga Communications, Inc., Attention: Chief Financial Officer, 73 Kercheval Avenue, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan 48236.
Reason for the Reincorporation
The principal factor the Board considered in electing to pursue the Reincorporation was reduction in our franchise tax liability. Unlike Delaware, Florida does not require domestic corporations to pay a franchise tax. We estimate that, if we remain incorporated in Delaware, Saga Delaware will pay approximately $200,000 in franchise taxes to Delaware, with that calculation based on the number of authorized shares of the Company’s stock, and will continue to pay a similar amount in franchise taxes for the foreseeable future. Florida only requires the payment of aggregate annual fees of $150 when a corporation files its annual report, regardless of the number of authorized shares.
Implementing the Reincorporation
The Reincorporation will be implemented by the merger of Saga Delaware with and into Saga Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that has been recently incorporated under the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”) for purposes of the Reincorporation. The Company as it currently exists as a Delaware corporation will cease to exist as a result of the merger, and Saga Florida will be the surviving corporation and will continue to operate our business as it existed prior to the Reincorporation. Our existing stockholders will own all of the outstanding shares of Saga Florida common stock, and no change in ownership will result from the Reincorporation. Assuming approval by our stockholders, we currently intend to cause the Reincorporation to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the May 11, 2020 Annual Meeting.
At the effective time of the Reincorporation (the “Effective Time”), we will be governed by the Florida Articles, the Florida Bylaws and the FBCA. Although the Florida Articles and the Florida Bylaws contain many provisions that are similar to the provisions of the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws, they do include certain provisions that are different from the provisions contained in the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws or under the Delaware General Corporation Law as described in more detail below.
No changes to the business of the Company as a result of the Reincorporation
Other than the change in corporate domicile, the Reincorporation will not result in any change in the business, physical location, management, assets, liabilities or net worth of the Company, nor will it result in

18
TABLE OF CONTENTS

any change in location of our current employees, including management. Upon consummation of the Reincorporation, our daily business operations will continue as they are presently conducted at our principal executive offices located at 73 Kercheval Avenue, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan 48236. The consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Saga Florida immediately after consummation of the Reincorporation will be the same as those of Saga Delaware immediately prior to the consummation of the Reincorporation. In addition, upon the effectiveness of the merger, the board of directors of Saga Florida will consist of those persons elected to the Board of Saga Delaware and will continue to serve for the term of their respective elections to the Board, and the individuals serving as executive officers of Saga Delaware immediately prior to the Reincorporation will continue to serve as executive officers of Saga Florida, without a change in title or responsibilities. Upon effectiveness of the Reincorporation, Saga Florida will be the successor in interest to Saga Delaware, and our current stockholders will become shareholders of Saga Florida.
If the Reincorporation is approved, each outstanding share of common stock of Saga Delaware will automatically be converted into one share of common stock of Saga Florida when the Reincorporation is affected. All of our employee benefit and incentive compensation plans immediately prior to the Reincorporation will be continued by Saga Florida, and each outstanding option to purchase shares of Saga Delaware’s common stock will be converted into an option to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Saga Florida’s common stock on the same terms and subject to the same conditions. The registration statements of Saga Delaware on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission immediately prior to the Reincorporation will be assumed by Saga Florida, and the shares of Saga Florida will continue to be listed on NASDAQ.
CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES IN SAGA DELAWARE WILL AUTOMATICALLY REPRESENT SHARES IN SAGA FLORIDA UPON COMPLETION OF THE MERGER, AND SHAREHOLDERS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO EXCHANGE STOCK CERTIFICATES AS A RESULT OF THE REINCORPORATION.
The Reincorporation Agreement provides that the Board may abandon the Reincorporation at any time prior to the Effective Time if the Board determines that the Reincorporation is inadvisable for any reason. For example, the DGCL or the FBCA could be changed to reduce the benefits that the Company hopes to achieve through the Reincorporation, the costs of operating as a Florida corporation may be increased, or adverse federal or state tax consequences may be incurred, although we do not know of any such changes under consideration. The Reincorporation Agreement may be amended at any time prior to the Effective Time, either before or after the stockholders have voted to adopt the proposal, subject to applicable law. The Company will re-solicit stockholder approval of the Reincorporation if the terms of the Reincorporation Agreement are changed in any material respect.
Potential disadvantage to the Reincorporation
Notwithstanding the belief of the Board as to the benefits to our stockholders of the Reincorporation, Delaware is a popular domicile for publicly-traded companies. Some commentators view Delaware’s body of corporate law as the most pro-management in the United States and its courts as among the most efficient for resolving complex business disputes. Because Florida case law concerning the governing and effects of its statutes and regulations is more limited, we and our stockholders may experience less predictability with respect to legality of corporate affairs and transactions, and stockholders’ rights to challenge them.
Certain differences between the shareholders’ rights in Delaware and Florida
The following is a comparison of certain provisions in the Florida Articles, the Florida Bylaws, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws, as well as certain provisions of Delaware law and Florida law. The comparison summarizes the important differences, but is not intended to list all differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents and to the DGCL and the FBCA. Stockholders are encouraged to read the Florida Articles, the Florida Bylaws, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws in their entirety. The Florida Articles and Florida Bylaws are attached to this proxy statement, and the Delaware Certificate and Delaware Bylaws are filed publicly as exhibits to our periodic reports.

In addition, the amendment must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the amendment by any class or series of shares with respect to which the amendment would create dissenters’ rights. The board of directors must recommend the amendment to the shareholders, unless the board of directors determines that because of conflict of interest or other special circumstances it should make no recommendation and communicates the basis for its determination to the shareholders with the amendment.

​​​
A corporation may opt-out of the statute by stating in its articles of incorporation that it elects not to be governed by the affiliated transactions statute.
The Florida Articles contain provisions that adopt substantially all of the protections of the affiliated transactions statute, except that the Florida Articles define an “interested shareholder” as any person who holds 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (rather than 10% as set forth in the statute). Given this modification to the statutory default, the Florida Articles contain a provision stating that the corporation elects not to be governed by the affiliated transactions statute.

Vote Required to Approve Merger or Sale of Company. The DGCL provides that a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation requires (a) approval by the board and (b) the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote. Whether the holders of shares are entitled to vote on a merger is governed by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation setting forth the voting rights of the shares of stock, but a corporation may not deprive stockholders of the right to vote on a proposed sale of the corporation.
​
The Delaware Certificate has no provision restricting the stockholders’ voting rights regarding the merger or sale of the company.

The FBCA contains a control share acquisition statute which provides that a person who acquires shares in an issuing public corporation in excess of certain specified thresholds will generally not have any voting rights with respect to such shares unless such voting rights are approved by a majority of the shares entitled to vote, excluding interested shares. Control shares are shares which, except for the FBCA provision, would have voting power that, when added to all other shares owned by a person or in respect to which such person may exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle such person, immediately after acquisition of such shares, directly or indirectly,

This statute does not apply if, among other things, the acquisition is: (a) approved by the corporation’s board of directors before it occurs; (b) pursuant to a pledge or other security interest created in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing the statute; (c) pursuant to the laws of interstate succession or pursuant to gift or testamentary transfer or (d) pursuant to a statutory merger or share exchange to which the corporation is a party.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Income tax considerations associated with the Reincorporation
The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation to holders of our common stock. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations. The discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), regulations promulgated under the Code by the U.S. Treasury Department (including proposed and temporary regulations), rulings, current administrative interpretations and official pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Such change could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences described below. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described herein.
This summary is for general information only and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular holder in light of its investment or tax circumstances or to holders subject to special tax rules, such as partnerships, subchapter S corporations or other pass-through entities, banks, financial institutions, tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, trusts and estates, dealers in stocks, securities or currencies, traders in securities that have elected to use the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, persons holding our common stock as part of an integrated transaction, including a “straddle,” “hedge,” “constructive sale,” or “conversion transaction,” persons whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar and persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code. This summary does not include any description of the tax laws of any state or local governments, or of any foreign government, that may be applicable to a particular holder.
This summary is directed solely to holders that hold our common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, which generally means as property held for investment. In addition, the following discussion only addresses “U.S. persons” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, generally defined as beneficial owners of our common stock who are:
•
individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States;
​
•
corporations (including an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;
​
•
estates the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
​
•
trusts if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of any such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust; or
​
•
trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have valid elections in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as U.S. persons.
​
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership holding our common stock should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the partner of the Reincorporation.
This summary is not a comprehensive description of all of the U.S. federal tax consequences that may be relevant to holders. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor regarding your particular circumstances and the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences to you of the Reincorporation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws.
We have not requested a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation. However, we believe:
•
the Reincorporation will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code;
​

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•
no gain or loss will be recognized by holders of Saga Delaware common stock on receipt of Saga Florida common stock pursuant to the Reincorporation;
​
•
the aggregate tax basis of the Saga Florida common stock received by each holder will equal the aggregate tax basis of the Saga Delaware common stock surrendered by such holder in exchange therefor; and
​
•
the holding period of the Saga Florida common stock received by each holder will include the period during which such holder held the Saga Delaware common stock surrendered in exchange therefor.
​
No material accounting consequences associated with the Reincorporation
We believe that there will be no material accounting consequences to us resulting from the Reincorporation.
Required vote to approve this proposal
The affirmative vote “FOR” this proposal by a majority of the votes cast by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes, is required for approval.
If approved, expected date when the Reincorporation will effective
We expect that the Reincorporation, if approved, will become effective shortly after the shareholder approval.
The Board recommends a vote “FOR” approval of reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Florida.

In accordance with applicable proxy regulations, the proposal and supporting statement, for which we and our Board accept no responsibility, are set forth below:
RESOLVED, that the shareowners of Saga Communications, Inc. (Company) hereby request that the Board of Directors initiate the appropriate process to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation and/or bylaws to provide that directors shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast at an annual meeting of shareowners in uncontested elections. A plurality vote standard, however, will apply to contested director elections; that is, when the number of director nominees exceeds the number of board seats.
Supporting Statement
Is accountability by the Board of Directors important to you? As a longtermlong-term shareowner of the Company, CalPERS thinks accountability is of paramount importance. This is why we are sponsoring this proposal. This proposal would remove a plurality vote standard for uncontested elections that effectively disenfranchises shareowners and eliminates a meaningful shareowner role in uncontested director elections.
Under the Company’s current voting system, a director may be elected with as little as one affirmative vote because “withheld” votes have no legal effect. This scheme deprives shareowners of a powerful tool to hold directors accountable because it makes it impossible to defeat directors who run unopposed. Conversely, a majority voting standard allows shareowners to actually vote “against” candidates and to defeat reelection of a management nominee who is unsatisfactory to the majority of shareowners who cast votes.
A substantial number of companies have already adopted this form of majority voting. More than 90% of the companies in the S&P 500 have adopted a form of majority voting for uncontested director elections. We believe the Company should join the growing number of companies that have adopted a majority voting standard requiring incumbent directors who do not receive a favorable majority vote to submit a letter of resignation, and not continue to serve, unless the Board declines the resignation and publicly discloses its reasons for doing so.
Majority voting in director elections empowers shareowners to clearly say “no” to unopposed directors who are viewed as unsatisfactory by a majority of shareowners casting a vote. Incumbent board members serving in a majority vote system are aware that shareowners have the ability to determine whether the director remains in office. The power of majority voting, therefore, is not just the power to effectively remove poor directors, but also the power to heighten director accountability through the threat of a loss of majority support. That is what accountability is all about.
CalPERS believes that corporate governance procedures and practices, and the level of accountability they impose, are closely related to financial performance. It is intuitive that, when directors are accountable for their actions, they perform better. We therefore ask you to join us in requesting that the Board of Directors promptly adopt the majority voting standard for uncontested director elections. We believe the Company’s shareowners will substantially benefit from the increased accountability of incumbent directors and the power to reject directors shareowners believe are not acting in their best interests. Please vote FOR this proposal.
The Company’s Statement in Opposition to the Proposal
The Board recommends a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 6.3.
The Board is committed to sound corporate governance policies and practices, and has carefully considered CalPERS proposal. Because, as discussed below, the Board is unable to implement the proposal

to achieve its objective, and for the other reasons discussed below, the Board does not believe the proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.shareholders.
We are a “controlled company” under the NASDAQ’s corporate governance listing requirements because more than 50% of the combined voting power of our Common Stock (Class A and Class B shares) is held by Mr. Christian, our President, CEO, and Chairman. Mr. Christian owns approximately 65% of the combined voting power of our Class A and Class B Common Stock with respect to those matters on which Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. These matters include the election of five of our seven directors.
Implementation of the proposal to achieve its stated goal of allowing a majority of stockholdersshareholders who cast votes to defeat the election of a director nominee can only be accomplished by amending the Company’s certificate of incorporation to eliminate the 10-to-1 voting preference for the Class B Common Stock. Without such an amendment, the owner of our Class B Common Stock will continue to hold a controlling majority of votes for five of our directors. Neither the Board nor the Company has the authority to amend the certificate of incorporation to change this preference and, therefore, implementation of the proposal to achieve its goal is impossible without Mr. Christian’s vote in the affirmative.
Eliminating the voting preference for the Class B Common Stock would constitute an adverse change in the powers and preferences of that class. Under § 242(b)(2)607.1004 of the Delaware GeneralFlorida Business Corporation Law,Act, such a change would require the approval of the holder of the Class B Common Stock, voting separately. Consequently, for the Company to implement the proposal, the Company would need Mr. Christian to negotiate, and ultimately to agree, to amend the certificate of incorporation and change the voting rights of the Class B Common Stock, at least as they apply to director elections.
Mr. Christian, acting solely in his capacity as the beneficial owner of the Class B Common Stock with the power to control the vote of such stock, has provided the Company with a written statement confirming that he (i) will not support the proposal, because the proposal would adversely and materially impact his property and shareholder rights, (ii) will respond in the negative to any encouragement by the Board, or any attempts at discussion or negotiation by the Board, to relinquish any of his preexisting rights in the Class B Common Stock, (iii) will not engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding any proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation and/or bylaws that give effect to the proposal or any similar proposal and (iv) will vote against any such proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation and/or bylaws that seeks to limit the voting rights of the Class B Common Stock. Mr. Christian has undertaken to inform the Board should he ever choose to change his position on these issues. Thus, Mr. Christian has made futile and effectively foreclosed the ability of the Company to take steps required to implement the proposal by making clear in his statement that he is unwilling to engage in any discussions or negotiations or be responsive to encouragement to amend the certificate of incorporation, and that he would vote against any such amendment.
Plurality voting is the default standard under DelawareFlorida law for the election of directors. It assures that a corporation does not have “failed elections.” That is, an election in which a director is not chosen and a vacancy on the board results. If directors are not elected or are otherwise required to resign upon failing to receive a majority of the votes cast, as set forth in the current proposal, the Company may face uncertainty as to satisfying certain NASDAQ listing requirements or other governance regulations, such as those relating to committee composition or the maintenance of an audit committee financial expert.
The Company believes its stockholdersshareholders are satisfied with the composition of its Board and the Company’s financial performance, as all of the Company’s directors have consistently been elected by the affirmative vote of substantially more than a majority of the outstanding shares of the holders voting for such directors, whether they are holders of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock. A majority of our Board is made up of independent directors within the meaning of NASDAQ requirements and based on the Board’s application of the standards of independence set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, even though such strong independence is not required for a controlled company. In considering candidates for our Board, we examine a number of different criteria, including (i) relevant management and industry experience; (ii) high personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; (iii) a commitment to representing the long-term interests of our stockholdersshareholders as a whole rather than special interest groups or constituencies; (iv) candidate independence; and (v) an ability and willingness to devote sufficient time to

carrying out his or her duties. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that permit the Board to fulfill its oversight responsibilities. The Company is committed to continuing to pursue the optimum mix of talent, experience and diversity among our directors to do the very best job for the Company and our stockholders.shareholders.
For all of the reasons discussed above, the Board recommends that the stockholdersshareholders vote “AGAINST” this proposal.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis outlines our compensation objectives and policies for our executive officers. It explains how we make executive compensation decisions, the data we use, and the reasoning behind the decisions that we make.
Following the Compensation Discussion and Analysis are tables and other information that explain the compensation for our executive officers, including discussion of the potential compensation of our executive officers following termination of employment under different situations.
These tables and narratives assist us in communicating our compensation plans to our stockholders.shareholders.
Administration and Oversight
The Compensation Committee (under this heading, the “Committee”) is comprised solely of independent directors. The responsibilities of the Committee include our management compensation programs and the compensation of our executive officers. In 2019,2020, the Committee was responsible for recommending to the Board the compensation of the CEO without management present. With respect to the compensation of the other executive officers, the CEO provided input and made recommendations to the Committee, and the Committee then made a recommendation to the Board. The Board decides the compensation of all of the Company’s executive officers; however, bonuses and performance criteria with respect to the CEO under the CEO Plan are determined by the Committee. The Committee is also responsible for administering the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan and the CEO Plan.
Executive Compensation Objectives and Policies
The Committee believes that in order to maximize stockholdershareholder value, we must have a compensation program designed to attract and retain superior management at all levels in the organization. The objective of the management program is to both reward short-term performance and motivate long-term performance so that management’s incentives are aligned with the interests of the stockholders.shareholders. The Committee believes that management at all levels should have a meaningful equity participation in the ownership of our Company, although no specific target level of equity holdings has been established for management by the Committee. While the Committee has awarded both restricted stock and options in the past, since the downturn in the economy in 2009, the Committee determined not to award any restricted stock or options in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. In March 2013, we engaged Towers Watson Pennsylvania Inc., a subsidiary of Towers Watson & Co., a professional services company (“Towers Watson”) to advise us with respect to possible grants of stock options and/or restricted stock under our 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan. In November 2013, we awarded our named executive officers 30,859 shares of restricted stock (which amount included 11,223 shares of Class A Common Restricted Stock and 19,636 shares of Class B Common Restricted Stock), in December 2014, we awarded our named executive officers 39,967 shares of restricted stock (which amount included 9,854 shares of Class A Common Restricted Stock and 30,113 shares of Class B Common Restricted Stock), and in November 2015, we awarded our named executive officers 40,508 shares of restricted stock (which amount included 11,024 shares of Class A Common Restricted Stock and 29,484 shares of Class B Common Restricted Stock). In November 2016, we awarded our named executive officers 34,388 shares of restricted stock (which amount included 9,094 shares of Class A Common Restricted Stock and 25,294 shares of Class B Common Restricted Stock). In December 2017, we awarded our named executive officers 39,210 shares of restricted stock (which amount included 10,210 shares of Class A Common Restricted Stock and 29,000 shares of Class B Common Restricted Stock), and in March 2018, we awarded 3,080 total shares of Class A Common Restricted Stock to certain named executive officers. In November 2018, we awarded our named executive officers 49,576 shares of restricted stock (which amount included 12,947 Class A Common Restricted Stock and 36,629 Class B Common Restricted Stock). In December 2019, we awarded our named executive officers 56,908 shares of restricted stock (which amount included 12,587 Class A Common Restricted Stock and 44,321 Class B Common Restricted Stock). In 2020, no restricted stock or options were granted to any named executive officers.
We attempt to achieve our objectives through compensation plans that tie a portion of our executives’ overall compensation to our financial performance and that are competitive with the marketplace. To that end, the Committee reviews the proxy statements of other public companies in the same industry to see if the

18
TABLE OF CONTENTS

compensation of our executive officers is generally in line with other companies in our industry, and with

34
TABLE OF CONTENTS

respect to the executive officers other than the CEO, the Committee also gives weight to the recommendations of the CEO. However, the Committee does not benchmark compensation of our executive officers to the compensation paid to executive officers of other public companies in the same industry. Other public companies that the Committee has looked at in past years for comparison include: Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc.; CC Media Holdings, Inc.; Cumulus Media Inc.; Emmis Communications Corporation;Corp.; Entercom Communications Corp.; Entravision Communications Corporation;Corp.; iHeart Communications, Inc.; The E.W. ScrippsNielsen Company; Urban One Inc.; Salem Media Group, Inc.; Townsquare Media, Inc.Communications Corp.; Sirius XM HoldingsRadio Inc.; Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc.; and Spanish Broadcasting System,Townsquare Media, Inc.
The Committee’s current policy is that the various elements of the compensation package are not interrelated in that gains or losses from past equity incentives are not factored into the determination of other compensation. For instance, if options that are granted in a previous year become underwater the next year, the Committee does not take that into consideration in determining the amount of the bonus, options or restricted stock to be granted the next year. Similarly, if the options or restricted shares granted in a previous year become extremely valuable, the Committee does not take that into consideration in determining the bonus, options or restricted stock to be awarded for the next year. In addition, the amount of a cash bonus does not affect the number of options or restricted stock that is granted during a particular year.
We have certain rights with regard to the adjustment or recovery of certain incentive-based compensation awards or payments granted or made after September 6, 2013 if the relevant performance measures upon which they are based are restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would reduce the size of an award or payment.
Consideration of 2017’s2020’s “Say On Pay” Vote
Following our Annual Meeting of StockholdersShareholders in May 2017,2020, the Committee reviewed the results of the stockholdershareholder advisory vote on executive compensation that was held at the meeting with respect to the 20162019 compensation of the named executive officers (“20172020 Say On Pay”). More than 90%84% of the votes cast (excluding broker non-votes) were voted in support of the compensation of our named executive officers set forth in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables and narratives in the 20172020 proxy statement. After considering the results of the 20172020 Say On Pay vote, which indicate that our stockholdersshareholders overwhelmingly approve of our methodology for establishing compensation, as well as the other factors considered in determining executive compensation as described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Committee was encouraged to continue its practices in determining executive compensation.
Compensation Components
The key components of our executive compensation program generally consist of a base salary and a cash bonus and participation in our performance-based 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan (pursuant to which stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units may be awarded). In addition, the Company also has a 401(k) Plan and a deferred compensation plan. Our executives can invest in our Class A Common Stock through our 401(k) Plan and in our Common Stock, as applicable, through the award of grants of stock options and/or restricted stock under the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan. As noted above, however, in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2012,2020, there were no awards of stock options and/or restricted stock, while in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, certain awards of restricted stock were made. Our executive officers also receive certain health benefits and perquisites. In addition, pursuant to our employment agreement with Mr. Christian, our CEO, we provide for severance following a sale or change-in-control. Our other executive officers also receive severance in connection with a change-in-control.
Base Salary
On February 26, 2019, we entered into a second amendment (the “2019 amendment”) to the employment agreement with our CEO dated June 1, 2011 (the “2011 employment agreement”), which had previously been amended on February 12, 2016 (the “2016 amendment”). The 2011 employment agreement, as amended by both the 2016 amendment and the 2019 amendment, is referred to herein as the “amended 2011

employment agreement”. The terms and conditions of the amended 2011 employment agreement are

disclosed below under “Compensation of Executive Officers — Employment Agreement and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control.” The Committee reviewed a January 2016 commissioned study by Equilar Inc., a provider of executive compensation data, comparing Mr. Christian’s compensation to the compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officers of other public companies in the broadcast industry based on publicly available information as a means of generally determining whether Mr. Christian’s total compensation is in line with the marketplace. The Committee entered into the 2019 amendment rather than waiting until closer to the expiration of the CEO’s 2011 employment agreement, as amended by the 2016 amendment, in order to provide stability to the Company, assurance to the marketplace, and certainty to Mr. Christian as to the future management of the Company during the next important period of Company operations. In 2011, the Committee increased the CEO’s base salary to $860,000 per year from $750,000 per year. From this amount Mr. Christian agreed to a reduction in conformance with the reduction to salary taken by all of our employees, which reduction was reinstated for all employees, and Mr. Christian, in 2011 and 2012, as discussed in the next paragraph below. Under the 2011 employment agreement, beginning on June 1, 2012, on each anniversary of the 2011 employment agreement (the “anniversary date”), the Committee determined, in its discretion, the amount of any increase to the CEO’s then existing annual salary provided that such increase would not be less than the greater of 3% or the cost of living increase based on the consumer price index. Accordingly, based on the consumer price index, the Committee increased the CEO’s 2012 base salary by 3.1% to $886,660 effective June 1, 2012, and then increased the CEO’s 2013 base salary by 3% to $913,260 effective June 1, 2013. Effective June 1, 2014, the Committee then increased the CEO’s 2014 base salary by 3% to $940,658. Pursuant to the 2011 employment agreement, and based on the consumer price index, the Committee then increased the CEO’s 2015 base salary by 3% to $968,877 effective June 1, 2015. Upon the parties entering into the 2016 amendment, this term was modified so that, on each anniversary date, the Committee is to determine, in its discretion, the amount of any increase to the CEO’s then existing annual salary provided that such increase shall not be less than the greater of 4% or the cost of living increase based on the consumer price index. The Committee increased the CEO’s 2016 base salary by 4% to $1,007,632 effective June 1, 2016, increased the CEO’s 2017 base salary by 4% to $1,047,938, effective June 1, 2017, and increased the CEO’s 2018 base salary by 4% to $1,089,855, effective June 1, 2018. Effective June 1, 2019, the Committee increased the CEO’s 2019 base salary by 4% to $1,133,449. Effective June 1, 2020, the Committee increased the CEO’s 2020 base salary by 4% to $1,178,787.
In 2020, the CEO provided input and made recommendations to the Committee as to the base salaries of the other executive officers. The CEO recommended that base salaries in 2020 remain flat to those paid in 2019, and the Committee agreed. The Committee then made its recommendation to the Board, which agreed with the recommendation. In 2019, the CEO provided input and made recommendations to the Committee as to the base salaries of the other executive officers. The CEO recommended that base salaries in 2019 remain flat to those paid in 2018, and the Committee agreed. The Committee then made its recommendation to the Board, which agreed with the recommendation. On April 23, 2018, following Board approval, salaries were increased to $350,000, $215,000, and $200,000 for Mr. Bush, Ms. Lobaito, who retired effective March 12, 2020 from her position as Senior Vice President of the Company but continues to serve the Company as Secretary, at a base salary of $26,000, and Ms. Bobinski, respectively. On May 28, 2018, Mr. Forgy assumed his new position as Senior Vice President / Operations at a base salary of $285,000. On June 1, 2015, following Board approval, salaries were increased to $340,000, $205,000 and $180,000 for Mr. Bush, Ms. Lobaito and Ms. Bobinski, respectively. In 2014, the CEO provided input and made recommendations to the Committee as to the base salaries of the other executive officers. The CEO recommended that base salaries in 2014 remain flat to those paid in 2013, and the Committee agreed. The Committee then made its recommendation to the Board, which agreed with the recommendation. Effective March 1, 2009, the Company, as a cost-cutting measure, implemented a 5% reduction in base salaries, including the base salaries of the executive officers. During 2011, the Company restored 3.75% of the 5% reduction. Effective April 1, 2012, the Company restored the remaining 1.25%. See “Compensation of Executive Officers — 20192020 CEO and Executive Officer Compensation” below.
Bonuses
The Company entered into the CEO Plan effective as of January 1, 2000, which was approved by stockholdersshareholders at the 2000 Annual Meeting of StockholdersShareholders and re-approved by stockholdersshareholders at the 2005, 2010, 2015, and 20152020 Annual Meetings of Stockholders. The CEO Plan is being proposed for re-approval at this Annual Meeting. See “Proposal 3.”Shareholders. The CEO’s amended 2011 employment agreement

provides that the CEO shall have the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus pursuant to the terms of the CEO Plan and is also eligible for a bonus determined in the discretion of the Committee. Among other reasons, the use of performance driven requirements were designed to permit the bonus payments to be fully deductible and exempt from Section 162(m) of the Code, which generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1 million paid for any calendar year to the top five named executive officers in the

2019 2020 Summary Compensation Table. Comprehensive federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017 (the “Act”), eliminated the performance-based compensation exception to the $1 million limitation, beginning January 1, 2018. The Act, however, provided a transition rule with respect to performance based remuneration which is provided pursuant to a written binding contract which was in effect on November 2, 2017 and which was not materially modified after that date, such as the CEO Plan. Under the CEO Plan, within ninety days after the beginning of each fiscal year, the Committee establishes the bonus opportunity for the CEO. The bonus opportunity for the CEO is based on the achievement of one or more performance objectives in alignment with our business strategies, and, if realized, provides for a total compensation generally in line with the total compensation paid to other CEOs in our peer group.
In March 2019,2020, the Committee approved a broadcast cash flow (“BCF”) goal for the CEO with fiveseven different BCF targets of $37$28 million, $38$29 million, $39$30 million, $31 million, $32 million $33 million and $40$34 million, allowing for a possible award of $700,000, $750,000, $800,000, $850,000, $900,000, $950,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, payable in cash and/or restricted stock if such targets were achieved. The Committee further determined, in the event of a sale or acquisition of broadcast assets during the fiscal year 2019,2020, the established BCF goals would be adjusted. The established BCF goals would be reduced by the budgeted BCF for the broadcast assets sold during fiscal year 20192020 on a pro-rata basis. Pro-rata BCF generated from broadcast assets acquired during fiscal year 20192020 would be added to adjust the BCF goals. See “Grants of Plan-Based Awards.” For fiscal year 2019,2020, due to the Committee determined thatdramatic impact of the CEOCOVID-19 pandemic and the material impact it had on the Company’s advertising revenue, none of the performance goals were achieved, as the $37 million target under theCompany’s BCF performance goal andfor fiscal year 2020 was $20.4 million. The Compensation Committee awarded the CEO an aggregatea discretionary bonus of $700,000 due to the significant achievements of the Company under the leadership of Mr. Christian during 2020 including increasing the Company’s cash balance by over $7,000,000 while reducing station operating expenses by over $11,000,000 and reducing capital expenditures by $3.4 million in comparison to 2019 year-end, during a year when revenue was materially impacted by disruptions to business and service providers. Based on the foregoing, the Committee believes it is in the Company’s best interest to award a discretionary bonus to Mr. Christian in the amount of $700,000. The BCF target levels are selected to reward improvements in BCF. ItWhen the targets are established, it is believed that the initial target level will be achievable based on past performance, while the other targets will be more difficult to achieve.
The CEO provides input and makes recommendations to the Committee as to the bonuses to be paid to the other executive officers. Based on his subjective review of the 20192020 performance of the executive officers, he recommended that 20192020 cash bonuses be awarded in the amount of $35,000 each for Mr. Forgy, Mr. Bush, Ms. Lobaito and Ms. Bobinski, and the Committee agreed.agreed The Committee then made such recommendation to the Board for the Board’s final approval, and the Board agreed. Ms. Lobaito, who retired from her position as Senior Vice President of the Company effective March 12, 2020 but continues to serve the Company as Secretary, was not awarded a 2020 bonus.
Long Term Incentives
In 2005, we engaged Towers Watson (then Towers Perrin) to conduct a review of our long-term incentive plan and provide recommendations, as appropriate, for redesigning our plan. We did not request, and Towers Watson did not conduct, a review of our long-term incentive award opportunities relative to market levels. The purpose of the review was to determine a long-term strategy for providing an effective equity incentive package which would attract, motivate, and retain our executive officers. Based on Towers Watson’s recommendations, we developed a new strategy to award a combination of stock options and restricted stock, and adopted the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, subject to stockholdershareholder approval. StockholdersShareholders approved this Plan at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,Shareholders, and re-approved it at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,Shareholders, by written consent in 2013 and at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.Shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In June 2008, the Committee determined that it would only award restricted stock pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, since stock options historically had not been an effective strategy, as previously granted options were generally underwater, and stock options had the potential to result in the issuance of a far larger number of shares than by granting only restricted stock. In 2009, 2010, 2011, and again in 2012, the Committee initially, because of the unprecedented downturn in the economy and broadcast industry in 2009, and subsequently because of the uneven strength of the recovery, decided to not award any restricted stock or options. In March 2013, we engaged Towers Watson to again advise us with respect to possible grants of stock options and/or restricted stock under our 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, and in November 2013, December 2014, November 2015, November 2016, December 2017, March 2018, and November 2018, and December 2019, we awarded our named executive officers certain shares of restricted stock. In December 2019, we awarded 56,908 total shares of restricted stock to certain named executive officers as follows: Ms. Bobinski, 2,564 shares; Mr. Bush, 4,487 shares; Mr. Forgy, 2,740; Ms. Lobaito, 2,796; and Mr. Christian, 44,321 shares (allNo awards comprise Class A Common Stock, except that Mr. Christian’s award comprises Class B Common Stock). The shares vestwere granted in one-third increments on November 6, 2020, 2021,

and 2022, if the named executive officer is an employee on the applicable date.2020. All such awards of restricted stock, however, shall vest if the named executive officer is an employee on the occurrence or deemed occurrence of a change-in-control.
Stock options have been granted with exercise prices equal to the closing price on the NASDAQ of a share of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant, with pro-rata vesting at the end of each of the following five years from the date of grant. Restricted stock has been granted with pro-rata vesting at the end of each of the following five years from the date of grant, and with pro-rata vesting at the end of each of the following three years from the date of grant. The CEO’s awards of stock options and restricted stock relate to Class B Common Stock and the other executive officers awards of stock options and/or restricted stock relate to Class A Common Stock. Only Mr. Christian or an affiliate of Mr. Christian holds Class B Common Stock. An affiliate includes (i) any individual or entity who or that controls or is under common control with Mr. Christian, (ii) any corporation or organization in which Mr. Christian is an officer or partner or the beneficial owner of 10% of more of the voting securities (other than the Company or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company), (iii) a trust or estate in which Mr. Christian has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which he serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity, or (iv) any relative or spouse of Mr. Christian, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same home as Mr. Christian or who is a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. An executive officer generally forfeits any unvested stock option and restricted stock award upon ceasing employment.
401(k) Plan
Our 401(k) Plan is available to substantially all of our full-time employees, including our executive officers. Under the 401(k) Plan, our executive officers determine at the beginning of each quarter a fixed percentage of their base salary to be deferred and included in their 401(k) accounts. We also have made discretionary matching contributions to all participants’ accounts, up to a maximum of $1,000. The matching portion of the Company’s contribution in past years has been invested in our Class A Common Stock, with the participant having the option to transfer the investment to another investment option, but due to the economic environment, we determined that a discretionary match would not be made for the 2010 or 2011 plan years. Discretionary matches were made for the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 20192020 plan years. All participants have the opportunity to invest their deferred amounts in our Class A Common Stock. The feature of the 401(k) Plan allowing our executives to purchase our Class A Common Stock is designed to align their interests with stockholders.shareholders.
Deferred Compensation Plans
In 1999 and 2005, we established nonqualified deferred compensation plans which allow executive officers and certain employees to annually elect, prior to January 1 of the calendar year in which the base salary or bonus is earned, to defer up to 15% (but not less than $2,500) of their base salary, and up to 85% of any bonus, on a pre-tax basis, until their retirement or termination. The deferred amounts are periodically credited with investment returns by reference to investment options offered to participants in the plans, although we are not obligated to reserve funds to pay deferred amounts or, if we do so, to invest the reserves in any particular manner. We may, in our discretion, purchase policies of life insurance on the lives of the participants to assist us in paying the deferred compensation under the plans. The retirement or termination benefit to be paid by us to a participant is the cumulative amount of compensation deferred by the participant and any notional investment returns thereon. The 2005 deferred compensation plan is substantially identical to the 1999 plan except for certain modifications to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Any contributions made after 2004 are made pursuant to the 2005 deferred compensation plan. We

TABLE OF CONTENTS

have created grantor trusts to assist us in meeting our obligations under the plans. All assets of the trusts are dedicated to the payment of deferred compensation under the respective plans unless we become insolvent, in which case the assets are available to our creditors.
Health Plans and Perquisites
We provide our executive officers with certain benefits and perquisites. These benefits and perquisites are designed to attract and retain our senior managers. Benefits include basic life insurance and medical and dental insurance equal to that provided to other employees. In addition, executive officers also receive

TABLE OF CONTENTS

benefits under a split dollar life insurance plan and a long term care plan. Executive officers are also eligible for car allowances and medical reimbursements. In addition, the CEO receives personal use of our private airplane, personal tax consulting and tax return preparation fees, and country club dues. Perquisites are provided in order to provide a total compensation package which is competitive with the marketplace for executive officers. Under the amended 2011 employment agreement, if the CEO’s employment is terminated for any reason, other than “for cause,” we have agreed to continue to provide health insurance and medical reimbursement commensurate with all health insurance and medical reimbursement programs that are maintained by us for current employees to the CEO and his spouse, and to maintain in force all existing life insurance policies for a period of ten years.
Severance Arrangements
As discussed in more detail in the section below entitled “Compensation of Executive Officers-Employment Agreement and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control,” the CEO’s amended 2011 employment agreement has change-in-control severance arrangements. In addition, in December 2007, the Committee determined to enter into change-in-control agreements with its executive officers. The agreements are intended to help retain executives during continued industry consolidation and are designed to attract and retain senior managers and to provide for continuity of management in the event of a change-in-control.
Our CEO’s amended 2011 employment agreement provides that following the sale or transfer of control of all or substantially all of our assets or stock or the consummation of a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation, the CEO shall have the right to terminate his employment, and upon such change-in-control, he will be paid an amount equal to 2.99 times the average of his total annual compensation for each of the three immediately preceding periods of twelve consecutive months, plus an additional amount as is necessary for applicable tax liabilities related to the payment. See “Employment Agreement and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control.”
With respect to the other executive officers, the change-in-control agreements provide that we shall pay a lump sum payment within forty-five days of the change-in-control of 1.5 times the average of the executive’s last three full calendar years of such executive’s base salary and any annual cash bonus. We or the surviving entity may require as a condition to receipt of payment that the executive continue in employment for a period of up to six months after consummation of the change-in-control. During such six months, the executive will continue to earn his pre-existing salary and benefits.

Based on our review and discussion with management we have recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
In 1999 and 2005, we established nonqualified deferred compensation plans which allow executive officers and certain employees to annually elect, prior to January 1 of the calendar year in which the base salary or bonus is earned, to defer a portion of their base salary up to 15% (but not less than $2,500), and up to 85% of any bonus, on a pre-tax basis, until their retirement. The deferred amounts are invested in investment options offered under the plans. The Company may, in its discretion, purchase policies of life insurance on the lives of the participants to assist the Company in paying the deferred compensation under the plans. The Company has created model trusts to assist it in meeting its obligations under the plans. All investment assets under the plans are the property of the Company until distributed. The retirement benefit to be provided is based on the amount of compensation deferred and any earnings thereon. The 2005 plan is substantially identical to the 1999 plan except for certain modifications to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Any contributions made after 2004 are made pursuant to the 2005 deferred compensation plan.
Under the plans, upon termination of the executive officer’s employment with the Company, he or she will be entitled to receive all amounts credited to his or her account for deferrals and the related earnings thereon, prior to January 1, 2005, in one lump sum. For amounts deferred after 2004, the executive will receive the amounts credited to his or her account in one lump sum, six months after termination. For amounts deferred prior to January 1, 2005, under the 1999 deferred compensation plan, upon a participant’s death if the Company has purchased life insurance, the

28
TABLE OF CONTENTS

benefit payable shall equal the value of the participant’s account multiplied by 1.5. Under the 2005 deferred compensation plan, upon a participant’s death, if the Company has purchased a life insurance policy on the life of a participant, the benefit payable shall equal the value of the participant’s account multiplied by 1.5, but the incremental increase to such account shall not exceed $150,000. Upon a change-in-control of the Company, each participant shall be distributed all amounts credited to his or her account in a lump sum. Mr. Christian does not participate in the plans.

​
CEO Pay Ratio: 93:45:1
Under Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, the Company must disclose the ratio of the median of the annual total compensation of all employees (except the principal executive officer) to the total annual compensation of the principal executive officer. The Company’s principal executive officer is Mr. Christian. As permitted by SEC rules, we determined that for 2019 we could refer to the same median employee that was identified in 2018. There has been no change in either our employee population or our employee compensation arrangements in 2019 that we believe would significantly impact our pay ratio disclosure. Our 20182020 median employee was determined by compiling a list of all employees as of November 21, 2018,20, 2020, and making a median employee determination. We did that by calculating the annual total compensation of each employee in the same manner as annual total compensation is calculated for the Company’s named executive officers as set forth in the 20192020 Summary Compensation Table. The list of employees was then ranked from lowest employee annual total compensation to highest, and the employee with the median annual total compensation was identified as the median employee. This median employee’s annual total compensation was $36,249.$45,692. Mr. Christian’s annual total compensation for 20192020 was $3,377,633$2,035,855 and, therefore, Mr. Christian’s 20192020 annual total compensation is 9345 times that of the median employee.
Employment Agreement and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
CEO’s Employment Agreement
On February 26, 2019, we entered into a second amendment (the “2019 amendment”) to the employment agreement with Mr. Christian dated June 1, 2011 (the “2011 employment agreement”), which had previously been amended on February 12, 2016 (the “2016 amendment”). The 2011 employment agreement, as amended by both the 2016 amendment and the 2019 amendment, is referred to herein as the “amended 2011 employment agreement”. The 2019 amendment extended Mr. Christian’s employment with the Company to March 31, 2025. The 2011 employment agreement would have terminated on March 31, 2018, and the 2016 amendment extended the termination date to March 31, 2021. Pursuant to the amended 2011 employment agreement, we pay Mr. Christian a salary at the rate of $860,000 per year, adjusted as discussed in the next paragraph below. The amended 2011 employment agreement permits Mr. Christian to defer any or all of his annual salary. Additionally, the amended 2011 employment agreement authorizes the Company to pay for Mr. Christian’s tax preparation services on an annual basis, the amount of which will be subject to income tax as additional compensation.
Pursuant to the 2011 employment agreement, commencing on June 1, 2012, and each anniversary thereafter, the Compensation Committee was required to determine in its discretion the amount of any increase in Mr. Christian’s then existing annual salary; provided, however, that such increase would not be less than the greater of 3% or a cost of living increase based on the consumer price index. Pursuant to the 2016 amendment, however, the amended 2011 employment agreement now provides that such increase in Mr. Christian’s then existing salary shall not be less than the

29
TABLE OF CONTENTS

greater of 4% or a cost of living increase based on the consumer price index. The amended 2011 employment agreement also includes a provision providing for a bonus to be awarded to Mr. Christian at the discretion of the Board.
The amended 2011 employment agreement also provides that Mr. Christian is eligible for stock options as shall be approved by the Compensation Committee and bonuses in such amounts as shall be determined

45
TABLE OF CONTENTS

pursuant to the terms of the CEO Plan or as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion based on the performance of the Company and the accomplishments of objectives established by the Compensation Committee in consultation with Mr. Christian.
Under the amended 2011 employment agreement, Mr. Christian is eligible to participate, in accordance with their terms, in all medical and health plans, life insurance, profit sharing, 401(k) Plan, pension, and such other employment benefits as are maintained by the Company or its affiliates for other key employees performing services. During the term of the employment agreement, the Company is required to maintain all existing policies of insurance on Mr. Christian’s life, including the existing split dollar policy. The Company is also required to pay for Mr. Christian to participate in an executive medical plan and to maintain its existing medical reimbursement policy. Under the amended 2011 employment agreement, Mr. Christian is also furnished with an automobile and other fringe benefits as have been afforded him in the past or as are consistent with his position. In addition, under the amended 2011 employment agreement, the Company has agreed to maintain an office for Mr. Christian in Sarasota County, Florida. The 2016 amendment increased the paid vacation time awarded to Mr. Christian on the anniversary date of the 2011 employment agreement. Under the terms of the 2011 employment agreement, Mr. Christian had been entitled to four weeks of paid vacation. The amended 2011 employment agreement entitles Mr. Christian to six weeks of paid vacation.
The amended 2011 employment agreement terminates upon Mr. Christian’s death and can be terminated by either party in the event of Mr. Christian’s disability for a continuous period of eight months, or an aggregate period of twelve months within any eighteen month period. The amended 2011 employment agreement also provides for certain payments to Mr. Christian in the event of his death or disability. Under the amended 2011 employment agreement, in the event of Mr. Christian’s death, his estate receives his then current base salary and any previously granted award becomes immediately vested. In the event of disability under the amended 2011 employment agreement, Mr. Christian receives the accrued portion of any salary and bonus, and severance pay equal to 100% of his then base salary for twenty-four months. Prior to the 2016 amendment, Mr. Christian was entitled to receive such pay for fifteen months. In addition, under the amended 2011 employment agreement, after the date of termination in the event of disability, any unvested stock options previously granted to Mr. Christian by the Company become immediately 100% vested to the extent permitted by law. Prior to the 2016 amendment, after the date of termination in the event of disability, any previously granted award (whether in the form of unvested stock options or restricted stock) became immediately 100% vested to the extent permitted by law.
Under the amended 2011 employment agreement, by a majority vote of the independent directors, we can terminate the agreement for cause. “For cause” means conviction of a felony, willful misconduct, gross neglect of duty, material breach of fiduciary duty to the Company, or material breach of the employment agreement. The amended 2011 employment agreement also provides that upon our sale, or transfer of control of, all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or the consummation of a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, Mr. Christian will be paid an amount equal to 2.99 times the average of his total annual salary and bonus for the three immediately preceding periods of twelve consecutive months plus an additional amount as is necessary for applicable income taxes related to the payment under Code sections 280 and 4999 and all federal and state tax liabilities. Mr. Christian has the right to terminate the agreement at any time following a change-in-control. The amended 2011 employment agreement also provides that to the extent that any payments under the amended 2011 employment agreement would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 and interest or penalties, Mr. Christian would be entitled to an additional payment to cover such excise tax, interest or penalties. If Mr. Christian’s employment is terminated for any reason, including death or voluntary resignation, but not a “for cause” termination, we are required to continue to provide health insurance and medical reimbursement to Mr. Christian and his spouse and to maintain and enforce all existing life insurance policies for a period of ten years.
The amended 2011 employment agreement also contains a covenant not to compete pursuant to which Mr. Christian agrees that if he voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company or is terminated for cause, for a three year period, he will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, or be employed by, any radio or television station the primary transmitter of which is located within sixty-five miles

Change-in-Control Agreements
As of December 28, 2007, Mr. Bush, Ms. Lobaito, and Ms. Bobinski entered into change-in-control agreements. As of September 28, 2018, Mr. Forgy also entered into a change-in-control agreement. A change-in-control is defined in these agreements to mean the occurrence of: (a) any person or group becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 30% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities and Mr. Christian ceasing to be Chairman and CEO of the Company; (b) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent more than 50% of the combined voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity; or (c) the approval of the stockholdersshareholders of the Company of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets.
If there is a change-in-control, the Company shall pay a lump sum payment within forty-five days thereof of 1.5 times the average of the executive’s last three full calendar years of such executive’s base salary and any annual cash bonus paid. In the event that such payment constitutes a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G subject to an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall pay the executive an additional amount so that the executive will receive the entire amount of the lump sum payment before deduction for federal, state and local income tax and payroll tax. In the event of a change-in-control (other than the approval of a plan of liquidation), the Company or the surviving entity may require as a condition to receipt of payment that the executive continue in employment for a period of up to six months after consummation of the change-in-control. During such six months, the executive will continue to earn his or her pre-existing salary and benefits. In such case, the executive shall be paid the lump sum payment upon completion of the continued employment. If, however, the executive fails to remain employed during this period of continued employment for any reason other than (a) termination without cause by the Company or the surviving entity, (b) death, (c) disability, or (d) breach of the agreement by the Company or the surviving entity, then the executive shall not be paid the lump sum payment. In addition, if the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause within six months prior to the consummation of a change-in-control, then the executive shall be paid the lump sum payment within forty-five days of such change-in-control. Termination for cause means: (a) willful dishonesty involving the Company, excluding good faith expense account disputes; (b) conviction of or entering of a no contest plea to a felony or other crime involving material dishonesty or moral turpitude; (c) material failure or refusal to perform the executive’s duties or other lawful directive from the CEO or Board which is not cured by the executive within ten days after receipt by the executive of a written notice from the Company specifying the details thereof; (d) willful violation by the executive of the Company’s lawful policies or of the executive’s fiduciary duties, which violation is not cured by the executive within ten days after receipt by the executive of a written notice from the Company specifying the details thereof; (e) the executive’s willful violation of the Company’s published business conduct guidelines, code of ethics, conflict of interest, or similar policies; or (f) illegal drug or substance abuse or addiction by the executive which is not protected by law.
Under the form of stock option agreement made and entered into pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, all options become fully vested and exercisable in full upon the occurrence of a change-in-control as defined in the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan or if the Compensation Committee determines that a change-in-control has occurred, if the optionee is an employee at the time of such occurrence. Similarly, under the form of restricted stock agreement adopted under the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, the vesting or restricting period shall lapse with respect to all restricted stock upon the occurrence of a change-in-control, as defined in the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, or if the Compensation Committee determines that a change-in-control has occurred if the grantee of the restricted stock is an employee at the time of such occurrence.
Under the Company’s 1999 and 2005 deferred compensation plans, in which Mr. Christian does not participate, upon a change-in-control of the Company as defined in such plans, each participant shall be distributed all amounts credited to the account of the participant in a lump sum.

Insiders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no reports on Form 5 were required for those persons for the year 2019,2020, we believe that, except as set forth below, our officers and directors complied with all applicable reporting requirements for the year 2019.2020.

As such, the 401(k) Plan sale of shares on October 18, 2019 resulting in a change of beneficial ownership for Mr. Christian was not reported on a timely basis.

4.2
Performance Goals.   The Committee shall assign, for each Fiscal Year for which the Committee determines that the Chief Executive Officer shall have the opportunity to achieve an Incentive Award, the specific goal that must be achieved for each Performance Measure.
​
4.3
Combination of Performance Measures and Performance Goals.   The Committee shall determine in writing the combination of Performance Measures, their respective Performance Goals, and the weighting to be assigned to each Performance Measure, in determining the level of performance that must be achieved for the Chief Executive Officer to receive an Incentive Award for a specific Fiscal Year. The Committee shall make reasonable efforts to satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.3 within ninety (90) day after the beginning of the Fiscal Year to which the Performance Measures and Goals relate; provided, however, that if the Committee satisfies the requirement of this Section 4.3 after such ninety (90) day period, the provisions of this Plan shall continue to apply with respect to the determination of the Incentive Award for such Fiscal Year.
​
4.4
Establishment of a Corporate Performance Trigger.   The Committee in satisfying the provisions of this Article IV with respect to any Fiscal Year shall establish a Performance Measure and related Goal (or combination of Measures and related Goals) that must be satisfied prior to determining whether any Incentive Award is to be payable for such Fiscal Year, which shall be set forth in writing in the manner described in Section 4.3.
​
ARTICLE V
INCENTIVE AWARDS
5.1
Establishing Potential Incentive Award Opportunities.   The Committee shall establish, at the same time as the Performance Measures and Goals are established as described in Article IV with respect to a specific Fiscal Year, the following items:
​
(a)
The amount of Incentive Award which will be paid if the applicable Performance Goal (or combination of Goals) is achieved;
​
(b)
The minimum level of Performance Goal (or combination of Performance Goals) achievement which must occur for any Incentive Award to be paid, and the amount that would be paid for such level of achievement; and
​
(c)
The maximum amount of any Incentive Award which will be paid with respect to achieving a Performance Goal (or combination of Performance Goals), and the amount that would be paid for such level of achievement;
​
provided, however, that the maximum Incentive Award for any Fiscal Year cannot exceed five hundred percent (500%) of annual base salary payable for such year.
These items shall be set forth in writing consistent with the provisions of Section 4.3.
5.2
Determining Actual Incentive Award.   The Committee shall determine whether any Incentive Award is payable for a Fiscal Year, based on a determination of the actual results relating to the Performance Goals and Measures selected for that Fiscal Year. The Committee may rely on any such information, including but not limited to the financial statements developed with respect to such Fiscal Year, in making such determination. For purposes of making the determination under this Section 5.2, the Committee shall use its best judgment in applying any actual corporate result that is not equal to the specific Goal (or combination of Goals) established for a Performance Measure, but which otherwise would result in an Incentive Award being payable.
​
The Committee shall have the authority, once such determination is made, to decrease any Incentive Award otherwise payable for a Fiscal Year, but in no event shall the Committee have the authority to increase any such Incentive Award. In making this determination, the Committee may take into account events, including but not limited to changes in corporate structure or accounting procedures, that

5.3
Authorizing Payment of Incentive Award.   The Committee shall authorize payment of any Incentive Award for a Fiscal Year after or commensurate with the determination under Section 5.2.

​
5.4
Form of Payment of Incentive Award.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Chief Executive Officer shall receive the Incentive Award for a Fiscal Year in one or more lump sum cash payments within a reasonable period of time after the determination described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 with respect to such Incentive Award. The Chief Executive Officer may elect to defer payment of all or any part of an Incentive Award by complying with such procedures as the Committee may prescribe.

A director elected in such manner to fill such vacancy shall hold office until his successor has been duly elected and qualified at a meeting of the holders of Class A Shares duly called for such purpose.
(e)   With respect to any Going Private Transaction (as such term is defined below), the holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote as a single class, with each Class A Share and Class B Share entitled to one vote. For purposes of this Paragraph 5.5, the term “Going Private Transaction” shall mean any transaction between the Corporation and (i) Edward K. Christian (the “Principal Shareholder”) or (ii) any Affiliate of the Principal Shareholder (as such term is defined below in Paragraph 5.7(a)), in each case which would qualify as a “Rule 13e-3 Transaction,” as such term is defined in Rule 13e-3(a)(3), 17 C.F.R. Section 240.13e-3, as amended from time to time, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided, that, the term “affiliate” as used in Rule 13e-3(3)(i) shall be deemed to include an “Affiliate of the Principal Shareholder,” as such term is defined below in Paragraph 5.7(a).
(f)   As long as any of the Common Shares shall be listed and quoted on the NASDAQ, the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall ensure, and shall have all powers necessary to ensure, that the membership of the Board of Directors shall at all times include such number of “Independent Directors” (as such term is defined in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2), as the same may be amended from time to time) as shall be required by NASDAQ listing requirements for the Common Shares to be eligible for listing and quotation on NASDAQ. In the event that the Common Shares shall cease to be listed and quoted on NASDAQ and subsequently are to be listed and quoted on an exchange or other trading system, the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall ensure, and shall have all powers necessary to ensure, that the membership of the Board of Directors shall at all times be consistent with the applicable rules and regulations, if any, for the Common Shares to be eligible for listing and quotation on such exchange or other trading system.
5.6   No Preemptive or Subscription Rights.   No holder of Common Shares shall be entitled to preemptive or subscription rights.
5.7   Conversion Rights.
(a)   Automatic Conversion.   Each Class B Share shall convert automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable Class A Share (i) upon its sale, gift, or other transfer to a party other than the Principal Shareholder or any Affiliate of the Principal Shareholder (as such term is defined below) or (ii) in the event of a sale, gift or other transfer of a Class B Share to an Affiliate of the Principal Shareholder, upon the death of the transferor. Each of the foregoing automatic conversion events shall be referred to hereinafter as an “Event of Automatic Conversion.”
For purposes of this Paragraph 5.7, the term “Affiliate of the Principal Shareholder” shall mean (w) any individual or entity who or that, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Principal Shareholder, (x) any corporation or organization (other than the Corporation or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) of which the Principal Shareholder is an officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of voting securities, or in which the Principal Shareholder has a substantial beneficial interest, (y) any trust or other estates in which a Principal Shareholder has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which

C-3
TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Principal Shareholder serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity, or (z) any relative or spouse of the Principal Shareholder, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same home as the Principal Shareholder or who is a director or an officer of the Corporation or any of its parents or subsidiaries.
(b)   Voluntary Conversion.   Each Class B Share shall be convertible, at the option of its holder, into one fully paid and non-assessable Class A Share at any time.
(c)   Voluntary Conversion Procedure.   At the time of a voluntary conversion, the holder of Class B Shares shall deliver to the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Class A Shares (i) the certificate or certificates representing the Class B Shares to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, and (ii) written notice to the Corporation stating that such holder elects to convert such share or shares and stating the name and addresses in which each certificate for Class A Shares issued upon such conversion is to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the date when such delivery is made to the Corporation of the Class B Shares to be converted, and the person exercising such voluntary conversion shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the number of Class A Shares issuable upon such conversion at such time. The Corporation shall promptly deliver certificates evidencing the appropriate number of Class A Shares to such person.
(d)   Automatic Conversion Procedure.   Promptly upon the occurrence of an Event of Automatic Conversion such that Class B Shares are converted automatically into Class A Shares, the holder of such shares shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefore, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, at the office of the Corporation, or of any transfer agent for the Class A Shares, and shall give written notice to the Corporation, at such office; (i) stating that the shares are being converted pursuant to an Event of Automatic Conversion into Class A Shares as provided in Paragraph 5.7(a) of this ARTICLE FIVE, (ii) specifying the Event of Automatic Conversion (and, if the occurrences of such event is within the control of the transferor, stating the transferor’s intent to effect an Event of Automatic Conversion), (iii) identifying the number of Class B Shares being converted, and (iv) setting out the name or names (with addresses) and denominations in which the certificate or certificates for Class A Shares shall be issued and shall include instructions for delivery thereof. Delivery of such notice together with the certificates representing the Class B Shares shall obligate the Corporation to issue such Class A Shares. Thereupon the Corporation or its transfer agent shall promptly issue and deliver at such stated address to such holder or to the transferee of Class B Shares a certificate or certificates for the number of Class A Shares to which such holder or transferee is entitled registered in the name of such holder, the designee of such holder or transferee as specified in such notice.
To the extent permitted by law, conversion pursuant to an Event of Automatic Conversion shall be deemed to have been affected as of the date on which the Event of Automatic Conversion occurred (such time being the “Conversion Time”). The person entitled to receive the Class A Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Class A Shares at and as of the Conversion Time, and the right of such person as a holder of Class B Shares shall cease and terminate at and as of the Conversion Time, in each case without regard to any failure by the holder to deliver the certificates or the notice required by this subparagraph (d).
(e)   Unconverted Shares; Notice Required.   In the event of the conversion of less than all of the Class B Shares evidenced by a certificate surrendered to the Corporation in accordance with the procedures of this Paragraph 5.7, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of such certificate, without charge to such holder, as new certificate evidencing the number of Class B Shares not converted. Class B Shares shall not be transferred on the books of the Corporation unless the Corporation shall have received from the holder thereof the written notice described herein.
(f)   Reissue of Shares.   Class B Shares that are converted into Class A Shares as provided herein shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued.
(g)   Reservation.   The Corporation hereby reserves and shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued Class A Shares, for the purposes of effecting conversions,

C-4
TABLE OF CONTENTS

such number of duly authorized Class A Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Class B Shares. The Corporation covenants that all the Class A Shares so issuable shall, when so issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from liens and charges with respect to the issue. The Corporation will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all such Class A Shares may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any national securities exchange upon which the Class A Shares may be listed. The Corporation will not take any action that results in any adjustment of the conversion ratio if the total number of Class A Shares issued and issuable after such action upon conversion of the Class B Shares would exceed the total number of Class A Shares then authorized by the Corporation’s Articles.
5.8   Consideration on Merger, Consolidation, etc.   In any merger, consolidation, or business combination, the consideration to be received per share by the holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares must be identical for each class of stock, except that in any such transaction in which shares of common stock are to be distributed, such shares may differ as to voting rights to the extent that voting rights now differ among the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares.
ARTICLE SIX

Any and all shares issued and for which full consideration has been paid or delivered shall be deemed fully paid stock, and the holder thereof shall not be liable for any further payment thereon.

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(d). The officer of the Corporation or other person presiding at the meeting shall, if the facts so warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with such provisions and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

(f)   At all meetings of the shareholders, all matters (except where other provision is made by law or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws) shall be decided by the vote of a majority in interest of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, present in person or by proxy, at such meeting, a quorum being present.

ACTION BY CONSENT
Section 5.01.   Consent by Directors.   Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if prior to such action a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of such committee.
Section 5.02.   Consent by Shareholders.   Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting upon the written consent of the holders of shares of stock entitled to vote who hold the number of shares which in the aggregate are at least equal to the percentage of the total vote required by statute or the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws for the proposed corporate action.
(a)   In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors.

Nothing contained in this Section 5.02(b) shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors or any shareholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any consent revocation thereof, whether before or after such certification by the independent inspectors, or to take any other action (including,

Section 7.01.   Indemnity.   Each person who at any time is, or shall have been, a director or officer of the Corporation, and is threatened to be or is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is, or was, a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or has served at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted under, and in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in, the Florida Business Corporation Act, as the same exists and may subsequently be amended (the “FBCA”), as from time to time amended. The foregoing right of indemnification shall in no way be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such director, officer, employee or agent may be entitled, under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 7.02.   Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers.   Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 7.01, or advance of costs, charges and expenses to a director or officer permitted by Section 7.01 of this Article, shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved such request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​​​

enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in the FBCA, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the FBCA, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 7.03.   Survival; Preservation of Other Rights.   The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director, officer, employee and agent who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provision as well as the relevant provisions of the FBCA are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a “contract right” may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director, officer, employee or agent.
The indemnification provided by this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 7.04.   Insurance.   The Corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him or on his behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article, provided that such insurance is available on acceptable terms.
Section 7.05.   Severability.   If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer and may indemnify each employee or agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
