case of the 2030 Notes and October 15, 2049 (six months before the maturity date of the 2050 Notes) in the case of the 2050 Notes, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes of the applicable series, at its option, at a Redemption Price equal
to the greater of:
  

●     100% of the principal amount of the Notes
of the series then outstanding to be redeemed; or

 

●     the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes of the series to be redeemed that would be due after the redemption date if the Notes to be redeemed matured on the applicable Par Call Date (not including any portion of such
payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points in the case of the 2030
Notes and 50 basis points in the case of the 2050 Notes;

 

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not
including, the Redemption Date.
  

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date: (1) the rate per
annum equal to the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that

 
  

-
2
 - 

  

  
 
	 	 	establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant
maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life (as defined below), yields for the two
published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and such rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearer month); or (2) if such release
(or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a
price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
  
 The Treasury Rate
will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date fixed for redemption.

 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
term of the Notes to be redeemed (“remaining life”) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of such Notes (assuming, for this purpose, that such notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date).
  

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of six Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the independent investment banker obtains fewer than six such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all
such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that
the Company appoints to act as the independent investment banker from time to time.

 
 “Par Call Date” means, with respect to the 2030 notes, January 15, 2030; or, with respect to the 2050 notes, October 15, 2049.

 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and their respective successors, provided,
however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer
and (2) two other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company after consultation with the Independent Investment Banker.
  

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the independent investment banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
  
 Notice of any
redemption will be mailed first-class, postage-prepaid at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of the Notes of the series to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on
and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by
the trustee or by such other method as the trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of

 
  
 

 -

 - 

  

  
 
	 	 	the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note.
  
 At any time on or
after January 15, 2030 (three months before the maturity date of the 2030 Notes), in the case of the 2030 Notes, and October 15, 2049 (six months before the maturity date of the 2050 Notes), in the case of the 2050 Notes, the Company may redeem some
or all of the Notes of the applicable series, at its option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not
including, the Redemption Date.

their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the

			l. Section 1.15 is deleted in its entirety and amended and replaced with the following effective on and after December 1, 2019:
		

		
			"l.15 Compensation means the base pay, overtime pay, shift differential pay, premium pay, bonuses and commissions paid to an Employee by the Participating Employers for services performed for the Participating Employers, excluding (i) any awards (other than annual incentive compensation awards), whether paid in cash, Company Stock or any other medium, under the A. H. Belo 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan, the A. H. Belo 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan, the Belo 2004 Executive Compensation Plan, or any other long term incentive compensation plan; (ii) any payment made after the later of (A) 2 1/2 months after the Employee's termination of employment or (B) the end of the Plan Year that includes the Employee's date of termination of employment; (iii) any payment made in connection with or after the Employee's termination of employment that would not have been made if the Employee had continued in employment, such as severance pay or any other amount that would not qualify as compensation under Section 1.415(c)-2(e)(3) of the Treasury Regulations; and (iv) any other form of remuneration. In addition, Compensation includes any contributions made by the Participating Employers on behalf of an Employee pursuant to a deferral election under any employee benefit plan containing a cash or deferred arrangement under Code section 401 (k) and any amounts that would have been received as cash but for an election to receive benefits under a cafeteria plan meeting the requirements of Code section 125. Effective January 1, 2009, Compensation will include differential wage payments (within the meaning of Code section 414(u)(12)) that are paid to a Participant by a Participating Employer. The annual Compensation of an Employee taken into account for any purpose will not exceed $265,000 for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2014, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code section 401(a)(17). The annual Compensation of an Employee who is covered by a collective bargaining agreement will also be subject to any applicable limit on the amount of such Compensation that may be taken into account for the purpose of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective December 1, 2019, solely for the purpose of calculating and funding a Participant's Deferral Contribution, Compensation shall include any award of Long Term Incentive Compensation."
		

		

		

		 

 

		2. Section 7.1(c) is deleted in its entirety and amended and replaced with the following effective on and after December 1, 2019:
		

		
			"(c) Participant's Consent to Certain Payments. If the amount of a Participant's vested Account balance exceeds $1,000, the Committee will not distribute the Participant's vested Account balance to him prior to the date distributions are required to begin under Article 12 following his attainment of age 70 1/2, unless he elects to receive a distribution at any earlier date following termination of employment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the value of a Participant's vested Account balances will include that portion that is attributable to is Rollover Account. A distribution may be made less than 30 days after the Participant has been furnished an explanation of his distribution options provided that (i) the Committee clearly informs the Participant that he has the right to consider whether to accept a distribution and whether to consent to a particular form of distribution for at least 30 days after he has been provided the relevant information, (ii) the Participant affirmatively elects to waive the 30-day notice period and receive a distribution, and (iii) with respect to a distribution to which Code section 417 applies, the Participant is permitted to revoke the election and make a new election at any time prior to the later of the date of distribution or the expiration of the seven-day period after the explanation of distribution options is provided to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing effective on and after December 1, 2019, if the amount of a Participant's vested Account balance, calculated in accordance with this Section 7.1(c), exceeds $1,000 but is less than or equal to $5,000, upon the Participant's failure to affirmatively elect a particular form of distribution for at least 30 days after he has been provided the relevant information, the Committee shall cause the Participant's vested Account balance to be paid in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account designated by the Committee."
		

		
			No other provision of the Plan is amended by this Amendment.
		

		
			Approved by the Committee and executed by a duly authorized Committee representative on behalf of the Committee at its meeting on the 19th day of November, 2019.

			November 19, 2019
		

		
			Resolutions Regarding the Seventh Amendment to the A. H. Belo Savings Plan
		

		
			WHEREAS, A. H. Belo Corporation (the "Company") maintains the A. H. Belo Savings Plan, as amended and restated January 1, 2015 (the "Plan") and has amended the Plan previously six times;
		

		
			WHEREAS, Article 15 of the Plan provides that the Company may amend the Plan from time to time;
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Company has delegated its authority to amend the Plan to the Benefits
		

		
			Administration Committee of the Company (the "Committee") via its Charter;
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan to expand the definition of "Compensation" for purposes of calculating and funding the employee deferral contributions to include any award of Long Term Incentive Compensation (the "Compensation Definition");
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan to provide for automatic rollover of vested account balances of more than $1,000 but equal to or less than $5,000 for participants who have terminated employment with the Company and have failed to timely affirmatively elect how their vested account balances should be distributed (the "Automatic Rollover"); and
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Committee has deliberated and believes it is in the best interests of the Plan's participants to approve the limited change to the Compensation Definition with respect to the compensation used to calculate and fund employee deferral contributions and the Automatic Rollover pursuant to the Seventh Amendment to the Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit-A (the "Seventh Amendment").
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Committee hereby approves the adoption of the Seventh Amendment effective on and after December 1, 2019;
		

		
			RESOLVED FURTHER, that the appropriate members of the Committee be, and each of them hereby is, authorized, empowered and directed, in the name and on behalf of the Committee or the Plan, to execute and deliver any agreements, documents, instruments or certificates necessary, appropriate or desirable, and to take all such further actions, and to incur and pay all such fees and expenses, as such member or members deem necessary, appropriate or desirable in order to effectuate the purposes of the foregoing resolution;

			EXHIBIT A
		

		
			SEVENTH AMENDMENT
		

		
			[See attached.]
		

		

		

		 

 

		
		

		
			SUMMARY OF SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO THE A. H. BELO SAVINGS PLAN
		

		
			This summary provides the Benefits Administration Committee (the "Committee") of A. H. Belo Corporation (the "Company") with an overview of the proposed Seventh Amendment to the A. H. Belo Savings Plan (the "Amendment"). The Amendment is intended to become effective as of December 1, 2019.
		

		
			For the purposes of calculating and funding the employee deferral contributions only, the
		

		
			Amendment expands the definition of compensation under the Plan to include any award of Long Term Incentive Compensation. This expansion will allow employees to contribute an additional amount of their income from the Long Term Incentive Compensation, if so desired, without requiring the Company to increase its contributions.
		

		
			In addition, the Amendment provides that participants who (i) have terminated employment with the Company, (ii) have a vested account balance of over $1,000.00 and up to $5,000.00, and (iii) have failed to affirmatively elect how their full vested account balance should be distributed within 30 days of being provided the relevant tax notice and distribution election information will have their full vested account balances automatically rolled over to an individual retirement account. This change will reduce the number of participants with small account balances who remain in the Plan but are not actively managing their Plan account.
		

		
			In the event that the Committee approves the Amendment, the Committee should be aware that its selection of a default individual retirement account is a fiduciary decision.
