Explanation of Responses: |
1. The purchases were made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on August 20, 2018 and in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
2. The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were purchased in multiple transactions ranging from $16.17 to $16.61, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price within the ranges set forth in footnotes to this Form 4. |
3. These shares were previously reported as directly beneficially owned, but were contributed on May 14, 2018 to a grantor-retained annuity trust of which the reporting person is trustee. |
Remarks: |
The reporting person may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to more than 10% of the Class A Common Shares of the Issuer (due solely to the convertibility of Common Voting Shares of the Company into Class A Common Shares on a share-for-share basis) due to the voting provisions of the Amended and Restated Scripps Family Agreement dated May 19, 2015, as amended on March 29, 2017, to which the reporting person is a party. The reporting person filed a Schedule 13D with the Commission on January 24, 2013, as last amended on August 22, 2018. |
