  • Line items: 51,032.112 shares ($1,122,706); 9,142 derivative units ($201,124); 15,818 derivative units ($347,996). Total ≈ 75,992.112 units for $1,671,826.
  • The derivative entries represent RSUs and deferred/phantom share units converted into cash under the Merger Agreement (see footnotes).
  • Filing date: 2026-03-23 (Form 4 accession 0001104659-26-033304). The filing does not indicate late reporting.

Context
These dispositions were part of the Nexstar merger where each TEGNA share and share-based award was converted into $22.00 cash at the merger effective time. This is a corporate-transaction-driven conversion (cash-out) rather than a voluntary open-market sale by the insider; derivative entries reflect conversion/cancellation of RSUs and deferred/phantom share units into cash.
