**Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers**

As previously disclosed, on January 4, 2023, Robert R. Bennett notified the Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (the "Company") Board of Directors (the "Board") of his decision to resign from the Company's Board, effective as of April 1, 2023.

The Board anticipates naming Mr. Lowe to serve on one or more committees of the Board, and the Company will file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Board makes this determination.

Mr. Lowe served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. ("Scripps Networks") from 2008 until 2018, when Scripps Networks merged with Discovery, Inc. From 2000-2008, Mr. Lowe served as President and Chief Executive Officer of The E.W. Scripps Company. Mr. Lowe also served as Chief Operating Officer of The E.W. Scripps Company during 2000. Mr. Lowe was a member of the Discovery, Inc. board of directors from March 2018 until April 2022. Mr. Lowe's expertise in the media industry and experience as a public company executive, as well as his experience in the areas of integration and transformation following a significant merger make him a valuable addition to the Company's Board.

No arrangements exist between Mr. Lowe and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. There are no transactions in which Mr. Lowe has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Mr. Lowe will be compensated for his services on the Company's Board pursuant to the compensation program for non-employee directors described in the Company's proxy statement dated March 14, 2022 for the Company's 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, except that his stock retainer will be $220,000 and his cash retainer will be $125,000, in accordance with the changes implemented by the Board to the compensation program for all non-employee directors following the closing of the acquisition of the WarnerMedia business.
