 formulas are outlined in individual affiliate benefits schedules, including the Graham Schedule, the Newsweek Schedule, the Kaplan Schedule and the Cash Balance Retirement Program (“CBRP”), Secure Retirement Account (“SRA”) which closed on December 31, 2023, and the CC Plan. Benefits under the Retirement Plan, except the CC Plan, vest after three years of service. Benefits under the CC Plan vest after one year of service. All of the named executive officers are fully vested in their benefits under the Retirement Plan. The SERP provides supplemental defined benefit retirement benefits that are calculated based on the formulas in the Retirement Plan, and includes in the calculation compensation from annual bonuses in the case of Mr. Rosen, rather than just base salary, without regard to (i) the salary limitation applicable to tax-qualifiedplans ($345,000 in 2024) or (ii) the benefit limitation applicable to tax-qualifiedplans ($275,000 in 2024, commencing at age 65). The SERP provides benefits only to the extent that the benefit described above exceeds the benefit in The Retirement Plan. Retirement Plan Benefits Under the Graham Schedule Mr. Cooney, Mr. Rosen and Ms. Maddrey are participants in the Graham Schedule. Benefits payable under the Graham Schedule include the following, subject to the limitations on tax-qualifiedplans mentioned above:

| • |     | A temporary Pre-Age 65 supplement of $2,075 per month payable until age 65 to certain eligible employees retiring at or after age 55 with 10 years of vesting service. This reflects an amendment made in 2018 increasing the supplement by $1,825 for certain eligible employees as of September 1, 2018. Employees not eligible for the increased supplement receive the plan’s existing Pre-Age 65 supplement of $250 per month. The change in the Pre-Age 65 supplement was made to help offset changes to the Company’s retiree medical plan. |

Vested benefits under the Retirement Plan are generally payable in the form of a single life annuity or lump-sumpayment (which was adopted in 2018 to permit certain eligible employees commencing a benefit on or after January 1, 2019, to elect a single, lump-sumpayment). In addition, several optional forms are available that continue benefits to the employee’s spouse or beneficiary, with the monthly benefit amount reduced so that the resulting pension is actuarially
