SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 589433 10 1 (Common Stock) 589433 20 1 (Class B Common Stock)
| Item 4. | Purpose of the Transaction. |
This Amendment is being filed to report the following transactions by the Reporting Persons:
On February 12, 2013, 50,744 shares of Class B Common Stock of Meredith Corporation (the “Company”) held by a grantor retained annuity trust established by Katherine C. Meredith (the “GRAT”) were distributed to Katherine C. Meredith in satisfaction of an annuity due to her.
On May 7, 2013, 132,916 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company held by the GRAT were transferred to another trust for the benefit of Katherine C. Meredith with no change in her pecuniary interest in such shares.
As a result of the foregoing, D. Mell Meredith Frazier and Edwin T. Meredith, IV ceased to have voting and dispositive power with respect to 183,660 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company and Katherine C. Meredith acquired sole voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
| (a) | Katherine C. Meredith: 99,615 shares of Common Stock (8.4%* of Common Stock outstanding) 3,640,006 shares of Class B Common Stock (43.6% of Class B Common Stock outstanding) |
D. Mell Meredith Frazier: 149,495 shares of Common Stock (5.4%* of Common Stock outstanding) 2,273,790 shares of Class B Common Stock (27.3% of Class B Common Stock outstanding)
Edwin T. Meredith, IV: 92,412 shares of Common Stock (5.5%* of Common Stock outstanding) 2,376,181 shares of Class B Common Stock (28.5% of Class B Common Stock outstanding)
*Assumes conversion of Class B into Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is convertible, share for share, into Common Stock.
| (b) | See facing pages for each reporting person. |
D. Mell Meredith Frazier and Edwin T. Meredith, IV are sister and brother and Katherine C. Meredith is their mother. Under Rule 13d-3, persons who have the power to vote or dispose of the shares listed above either alone or jointly with others are deemed to be the beneficial owners of such shares. Because the voting or dispositive power of certain shares listed above is shared, the same securities in such cases are attributed to more than one of the Reporting Persons.
(c) No transactions in shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock were effected by any of the Reporting Persons in the past 60 days except for the transactions described in Item 4.
(d) None
(e) Not applicable
