NEXSTAR MEDIA GROUP, INC.

Previous wording

We are currently involved in legal proceedings with various parties seeking to enjoin the Merger. On March 18, 2026, a coalition of eight state attorneys general (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Oregon and Virginia, collectively, the “Initial States”) and DIRECTV, in two separate actions, brought civil lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California against Nexstar and TEGNA seeking to enjoin Nexstar’s Merger with TEGNA. Both complaints allege, among other things, that the merger of Nexstar and TEGNA violates federal antitrust laws. The complaints were filed prior to the consummation of the Merger. On March 19, 2026, the Merger was consummated. On March 20, 2026, DIRECTV and the states requested temporary restraining orders (“TROs”) from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California to prevent Nexstar and TEGNA from integrating their operations. On March 27, 2026, the court entered a TRO requiring Nexstar to hold TEGNA separate until further ruling. On April 17, 2026, the court entered a preliminary injunction prohibiting further integration of Nexstar and TEGNA, which became effective on April 21, 2026. On April 21, 2026, Nexstar filed a notice of appeal with respect to the preliminary injunction in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Nexstar did not seek a stay of the preliminary injunction. On April 30, 2026, DIRECTV filed its Amended Complaint for Injunctive Relief and the Initial States plus the attorneys general for Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Vermont filed Plaintiff States’ First Amended Complaint for Permanent Injunction. On May 21, 2026, Nexstar filed answers to the Amended Complaints of DIRECTV and the states. Discovery is ongoing, and the District Court has set a trial date of July 6, 2027. On July 8, 2026, briefing on Nexstar’s appeal of the preliminary injunction was completed, but the Court of Appeals has yet to set oral argument or issue a decision.

Previous wording

On March 21, 2026, six state cable associations (Pennsylvania, Washington, Indiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia) along with Newsmax filed a notice of appeal or, alternatively, petition for writ of mandamus in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit challenging the FCC approval of the Merger. These parties also sought a stay of the FCC approval order and injunctive relief similar to that sought in the California cases. On March 23, 2026, five public interest parties filed a similar notice of appeal or, alternatively, emergency petition for writ of mandamus in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit challenging the FCC approval, which was consolidated with the appeal filed by the cable associations. On April 28, 2026, the D.C. Circuit denied the emergency motions for a stay pending appeal finding the appellants had not satisfied the requirements for a stay. On July 9, 2026, the D.C. Circuit further denied the emergency petitions for writ of mandamus, denied those petitions’ stay requests under the All Writs Act, and dismissed the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. To date, the Appellants have not sought any further relief from the D.C. Circuit or the Supreme Court following this order.
