(“Media General”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 27, 2016.  Substantially concurrent with this acquisition, Nexstar also completed the previously announced sale of the assets of 13 television stations in 12 markets for a total consideration of $547.8 million, plus working capital adjustments. These divestitures were made to comply with the Federal Communications Commission’s local television ownership rule and to meet the 39% U.S. television household national ownership cap.

(a)

KREG-TV operated as a satellite station of Nexstar-owned CBS affiliate KREX-TV and will not retain such affiliation post-closing.

(b)

KASA-TV operated as a FOX affiliated station under Media General.  It will not retain such affiliation post-closing.

 

The six stations previously owned by Nexstar were sold for $115.6 million in cash, plus working capital adjustments (the “Nexstar Divestitures”). The seven stations previously owned by Media General were sold for a total consideration of $432.2 million, plus working capital adjustments.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet gives effect to the Nexstar Divestitures as if they had occurred on September 30, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations give effect to the Nexstar Divestitures as if they had occurred on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements do not purport to represent what the actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Nexstar Divestitures occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations or financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are presented based on currently available information and certain assumptions, which are described in the accompanying notes and which management believes are reasonable. The actual amounts recorded as of the closing of the Nexstar Divestitures may differ materially from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements as a result of several factors, including the completion of full valuation procedures on the divestitures described above which is the basis used to allocate the sales prices of certain stations previously owned by Nexstar and Media General and changes in the Nexstar Divestitures’ net assets between the pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and the closing of the sale.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements, (ii) the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Nexstar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 29, 2016, and (iii) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Nexstar’s Form 10-Q as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, filed with the SEC on November 9, 2016.

NEXSTAR MEDIA GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations includes the following adjustments:

 

 

(a)

Represents the proceeds attributable to the Nexstar Divestitures, including adjustments for working capital, of $115.6 million, less the fees associated with the sale of $1.2 million. Certain sale agreements do not allocate the sales price between the stations previously owned by Nexstar and the stations previously owned by Media General. In order to calculate the proceeds attributable to the Nexstar Divestitures, the sales prices were allocated using the estimated fair value of the stations derived from their estimated future cash flows.

 

 

(b)

Represents the elimination of historical amounts attributable to the Nexstar Divestitures.

 

 

(c)

Represents the federal and state tax payable of $16.0 million resulting from the estimated taxable gain on the Nexstar Divestitures of $89.9 million, using a blended statutory tax rate.

 

 

(d)

Represents the use of $18.8 million federal net operating losses due to the Nexstar Divestitures.

 

 

(e)

Represents the estimated book gain on the Nexstar Divestitures of $66.4 million, less the fees associated with the sale of $1.2 million and $34.8 million estimated taxes using a blended statutory tax rate on the estimated taxable gain.
