Each Company RSU Award granted on or after August 18, 2025 held by the reporting person and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a time-based restricted stock unit award in respect of a number of shares of Nexstar common stock calculated based on the value of the Merger Consideration and Nexstar's stock price, subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.
