(1) On November 12, 2013, in conjunction with Media General, Inc.'s closing of the business combination transaction with New Young Broadcasting Holding Co., Inc., Media General, Inc. completed a reclassification of its capital stock. Pursuant to such reclassification, each share of the reporting person's Class A Common Stock ($5.00 par value) was reclassified into one share of Voting Common Stock (no par value). Equity-based awards granted pursuant to plans that are granted or remain outstanding after the reclassification are exercisable or convertible, as applicable, into shares of Voting Common Stock.
(2) Units are payable in cash following the termination of the reporting person's employment. Upon attaining age 55, the reporting person may transfer the units into an alternative investment account at any time.

One-half of the stock units granted to the officer shall vest on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing of the transaction, subject to the officer's employment with Media General, Inc. through each such anniversary date. Each vested stock unit will entitle the officer to a payment in cash on the settlement date in an amount equal to the closing price per share of Media General, Inc.'s Voting Common Stock on the date of vesting.
