Hi DallasNews Shareholder,

This is Grant Moise calling, I'm the Chief Executive Officer of DallasNews and the President and Publisher of *The Dallas Morning News*.

I'm reaching out to you today because as you may know, DallasNews, the holding company of *The Dallas Morning News* and Medium Giant, previously announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Hearst, one of the nation's leading information, services and media companies.

This is an exciting merger that will enable shareholders like you to realize a significant, all-cash premium on your investment while securing the future of DallasNews.

It is important for you to note that Hearst's all-cash offer of $15 per share reflects an impressive 242% premium based on the closing price of our common stock of $4.39 per share on July 9, 2025, the day before the transaction was announced.

The DallasNews Board of Directors has unanimously determined that this transaction is in the best interest of all shareholders, and we are asking for you to vote "FOR" this value unlocking opportunity.

You should have already received proxy materials that include all the necessary details on how to vote today by phone, internet, or mail.

It is a quick and easy process, and your vote is critical in approving this merger.

If you need help in voting or have not received the proxy materials, you can call our proxy solicitors D.F. King & Co., Inc. toll-free at 1 (866) 416-0577 or Okapi Partners toll-free at 1 (844) 343-2621.

Please remember, no matter how many shares you hold, it is important that you vote FOR the Hearst Merger today.

The deadline to vote is fast approaching and not voting is the same as voting against this value creating merger.

Vote today to realize a significant premium on your investment and help secure the future of DallasNews.

Thank you
