Scripps Company (the “Company”) has been informed by the signatories (the “Scripps Family Members”) to the Scripps Family Agreement (as defined in the Company’s proxy statement) that current Company directors Charles Barmonde, Monica Holcomb and Raymundo H. Granado, Jr. each are expected to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Company is pleased that Messrs. Barmonde and Granado and Ms. Holcomb intend to stand for re-election and appreciates their continued service and contributions to the Board. In addition, the Scripps Family Members are recommending to the Nominating & Governance Committee of Board that Tracy Tunney Ward be nominated for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

The Nominating & Governance Committee will consider this recommendation in the ordinary course as they evaluate the slate of directors to be presented for election at the Annual Meeting.
