\nNexstar Media Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST) (\u201cNexstar\u201d) and TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TEGNA) (\u201cTEGNA\u201d) announced today that they entered into a definitive agreement (the \u201cAgreement\u201d) whereby, subject to regulatory approvals, Nexstar will acquire all outstanding shares of TEGNA for $22.00 per share in a cash transaction valued at $6.2 billion, inclusive of TEGNA\u2019s net debt and estimated transaction fees and expenses. The purchase price represents a 31% premium to TEGNA\u2019s average 30-day average stock price ending August 8, 2025, the last closing stock price prior to media reports of a potential transaction. Following completion of the transaction, the combined entity will be a leading local media company, well-positioned to compete in today\u2019s fragmented and rapidly evolving marketplace. The new company will be better able to serve communities by ensuring the long-term vitality of local news and programming from trusted local sources and preserving the diversity of local voice and opinion. Nexstar will also be able to provide advertisers with an even greater variety of competitive local and national broadcast and digital advertising solutions to serve brands and consumers more effectively.<\/p>\n
\nNexstar\u2019s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Perry A. Sook, commented, \u201cThe initiatives being pursued by the Trump administration offer local broadcasters the opportunity to expand reach, level the playing field, and compete more effectively with the Big Tech and legacy Big Media companies that have unchecked reach and vast financial resources. We believe TEGNA represents the best option for Nexstar to act on this opportunity. TEGNA is a premier operator with high quality local television stations primarily in the top 75 DMAs. We and TEGNA are similarly dedicated to providing communities of all sizes with the best programming and fact-based local journalism along with innovative digital products and marketing solutions for local viewers and advertisers. The transaction will increase Nexstar\u2019s reach through the expansion of our presence in important DMAs such as Atlanta, Phoenix, Seattle, and Minneapolis, as well as enhance our local presence, enabling us to continue to provide the core local news and programming that is in the public\u2019s interest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMr. Sook continued, \u201cNexstar has a stellar long-term record of growth through its deals, having completed many well-received transactions since 2011, including the 2019 acquisition of Tribune Media. The playbook we followed to make those transactions successful \u2013 improving and increasing local content, executing on identified synergies, and quickly de-leveraging our balance sheet with free cash flow post close \u2013 are the same opportunities and strategies we will use in connection with this transaction. With committed financing and a plan for significant synergy realization, we believe the combined entity will be poised for growth, leverage reduction, and the enhancement of shareholder value.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHoward Elias, Chairman of TEGNA\u2019s Board of Directors commented, \u201cAt TEGNA, we share Nexstar\u2019s commitment to local broadcasting, exemplified by numerous investments and initiatives, industry journalism awards, and the significant expansion of our local news content. This transaction, which will provide premium near-term value to TEGNA shareholders, comes at a time of rapid change in our industry and reflects the fact that policymakers of all perspectives are calling for regulations governing our industry to be modernized. This transaction with Nexstar will further solidify the critical role our stations serve in our communities, preserve their trust, and be better able to compete in today\u2019s highly fragmented media environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMike Steib, Chief Executive Officer of TEGNA, said, \u201cWe are thrilled to have found a partner in Nexstar that will enable TEGNA\u2019s stations to continue doing what we do best: creating outstanding and impactful local content coupled with the delivery of indispensable digital products to the communities we serve around the country. Nexstar and TEGNA both share a rich heritage of commitment to journalistic excellence and technological advancements. Together, we will expand news coverage to serve more communities, across more screens, and ultimately secure the future of local news for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The forward-looking statements contained in this communication, concerning, among other things, the ultimate outcome, benefits and synergies of any possible transaction between Nexstar and TEGNA and timing thereof, and future financial performance, including changes in net revenue, cash flow and operating expenses, involve risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various important factors, including the timing of and any potential delay in consummating the proposed transaction, the risk that the conditions to closing of the proposed transaction (including the necessary regulatory approvals or the approval of TEGNA\u2019s stockholders) may not be satisfied in the anticipated timeframe or at all and the transaction may not close, the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed transaction is delayed, is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated, the risk of the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement, the risk that Nexstar fails to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the debt commitment letters delivered pursuant to the Agreement, the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Nexstar\u2019s or TEGNA\u2019s common stock, the risk that the disruption from the proposed transaction may make it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships, including retaining and hiring key personnel and maintaining relationships with Nexstar\u2019s or TEGNA\u2019s customers, vendors and others with whom it does business, the risks related to disruption of TEGNA management\u2019s attention from TEGNA\u2019s ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction, the impact of changes in national and regional economies, the ability to service and refinance Nexstar\u2019s and\/or TEGNA\u2019s outstanding debt, successful integration of TEGNA (including achievement of synergies and cost reductions), pricing fluctuations in local and national advertising, future regulatory actions and conditions in the television stations\u2019 operating areas, competition from others in the broadcast television markets, volatility in programming costs, the effects of governmental regulation of broadcasting, industry consolidation, technological developments and major world news events.
