Context

• The reporting person may be deemed to beneficially own more than 10% of Class A common shares as a party to the Second Amended and Restated Scripps Family Agreement (dated March 26, 2021); Schedule 13D amendments were filed (last amended Feb 6, 2026). That status indicates this is a family/major-holder purchase rather than routine employee trading. As always, purchases are factual signals of buying interest but do not by themselves identify motivation.
