What Happened

Margaret Scripps Klenzing, reported as a >10% owner of E.W. Scripps Co. (SSP), made two open-market purchases on March 4 and March 5, 2026. She acquired 139,951 shares at a weighted average price of $4.17 on 2026-03-04 (≈ $583,862) and 120,534 shares at a weighted average price of $4.43 on 2026-03-05 (≈ $533,459).

Context

Klenzing may be deemed to beneficially own more than 10% of Class A common shares through the Second Amended and Restated Scripps Family Agreement (dated Mar 26, 2021); a Schedule 13D was last amended Feb 6, 2026. As a >10% owner via a family agreement, this holding reflects collective family/institutional-level ownership rather than necessarily a company executive’s trading.
No options, awards, or gifts were involved—these were straight purchases (P).
