Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended to add the following to Item 4 set forth therein.

 

On December 1, 2021, all of the Meredith Stock held by the Reporting Persons was sold in the following transactions:

 

(i) In a spin-off of Meredith Holdings Corporation, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Meredith Holdings”) (which holds the Company’s national media group, MNI and People TV businesses and corporate segments), the Reporting Persons received, on a one-to-one basis, shares of Meredith Holdings for each share of Meredith Stock held by the Reporting Persons. Following the Gray Merger (as defined below), in the sale of Meredith Holdings to Dotdash Media Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a About, Inc.), pursuant to a merger (the “Dotdash Merger”), the Reporting Persons received (x) in exchange for each share of Meredith Holdings held by them, $42.18 in cash, and (y) for the cancellation of each in-the-money option held by them, a pro-rata portion of $42.18 in cash based on the exercise price of the option. The aggregate consideration received by the Reporting Persons in the Dotdash Merger was approximately $188.1 million (not including amounts received by the ET Meredith Foundation and the Anna K. Meredith Endowment Trust, which were $7.8 million and $25.3 million, respectively).

 

(ii) In the sale of the Company to the Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”), pursuant to a merger (the “Gray Merger”), the Reporting Persons received (x) in exchange for each share of Meredith Stock held by them, $16.99 in cash, and (y) for the cancellation of each in-the-money option held by them, a pro-rata portion of $16.99 in cash based on the exercise price of the option. The aggregate consideration received by the Reporting Persons in the Gray Merger was approximately $75.8 million (not including amounts received by the ET Meredith Foundation and the Anna K.
