 AGREEMENT 

 

	 	1.	Employment; Duties. 

 Employer hereby agrees to employ Executive to serve in the role of
President and CEO of Cars.com. Executive shall report to, and perform and discharge such duties and assignments as shall be designated from time to time by the President of Gannett Digital Ventures. Executive shall perform his duties diligently and

the term of this Agreement shall begin on November 4, 2014 and shall continue until November 3, 2017 (“Term”). 
 (b)
Employer shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for “good cause” upon written notice to Executive following the occurrence of any of the following events, each of which shall constitute a “good cause” for
such termination: (i) embezzlement, fraud, misappropriation of funds, breach of fiduciary duty or other act of material dishonesty committed by Executive or at Executive’s direction; (ii) neglect or refusal by Executive to perform the

within 30 days after receipt of written notice from Employer. 

 (c) Employer may also terminate Executive’s employment for convenience (i.e., for any reason
other than good cause), subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement that are intended to survive termination of employment. 

(d) Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment with Employer for “good reason” upon 30 days’ written notice to
Employer given within 90 days following the occurrence of any of the following events, each of which shall constitute a “good reason” for such termination: (i) Executive is not retained as CEO of Cars.com; (ii) a material
reduction, without Executive’s prior written consent, in Executive’s duties and responsibilities; (iii) a material reduction, without Executive’s prior written consent, in Executive’s base salary, or (iv) a material
breach of this Agreement by Employer which is not remedied within 30 days after receipt of written notice from Executive. 
 (e) Executive
may also terminate his employment by resignation (i.e., for any reason other than “good reason” as identified above), subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement that are intended to survive termination of employment. 

(f) If Executive terminates his employment with Cars.com pursuant to Section 2(e) above for any reason other than good reason or Employer
terminates his employment for good cause pursuant to Section 2(b), then Executive shall be paid in accordance with normal payroll practices all earned but unpaid compensation, accrued but unused vacation and incurred but unreimbursed expenses
required to be reimbursed through the date his employment terminates (“Termination Date”). Executive shall have no further rights and Employer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. 

(g) If Executive terminates his employment pursuant to Section 2(d) for good reason or Employer terminates Executive’s employment for
convenience pursuant to Section 2(c), then the following shall apply: (i) Executive shall be paid in accordance with normal payroll practices all earned but unpaid compensation, accrued vacation and accrued but unreimbursed expenses required to
be reimbursed through the Termination Date; and (ii) conditioned upon and subject to Executive executing a valid release agreement in such form as Employer may reasonably require with respect to claims which Executive or his estate or
beneficiaries may have arising out of Executive’s employment (“Release”), Employer shall pay to Executive on the 30th day after the Termination Date, provided that the Release has
become effective and non-revocable as of that date: 
 (1) a cash lump sum severance
payment equal to his annual base salary in effect on the Termination Date, through the remainder of the term, provided that said payment shall not be less than one year’s base pay or more than two year’s base pay; 

(2) a cash lump sum equal to Executive’s annual performance bonus target according to his bonus plan in effect on the
Termination Date, provided that should such termination occur in the fourth quarter of any year, the executive shall receive a prorated award for the year of termination in addition to the one year payment; and 

(3) all awards previously granted to the Executive (both vested and unvested) pursuant to his long-term incentive bonus plan in
effect on the Termination Date, 

  
 -2- 

 
provided that this provision will be amended by mutual agreement as necessary to accommodate additional or changed components in a future LTIP plan and as necessary to accommodate regulatory
demands around such a plan. 
 (h) Section (g)(ii) above shall not apply if the Release does not become effective and non-revocable within 30 days after Executive’s Termination Date, and Executive shall have no rights under such section if the Release does not become effective and
non-revocable by the 30th day after Executive’s Termination Date. 
  

	 	3.	Compensation; Benefits. 

 Your annual base salary will be Three Hundred and Fifty
Thousand dollars ($350,000.00) and paid in accordance with Cars.com payroll practices. This salary will be in effect and paid retroactive to October 1, 2014. 

Your target annual bonus will be Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand dollars ($350,000.00) and will be based upon the achievement of agreed upon
goals for you and Cars.com. This new target will be in effect for the 2014 plan year. Actual payment will vary up or down depending on achievement of these goals. 

You will be eligible to participate in a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for the 2015 performance year. Your annual LTIP target will be Four
Hundred Thousand dollars ($400,000.00). We are working to assess the optimal long term incentive program to ensure a strong linkage to performance and deliver a competitive compensation package. 

We will make a special onetime contribution of Nine Hundred Thousand dollars ($900,000.00) into your LTIP account in January 2015 with vesting
and other terms of the contribution in compliance with the terms of the cash LTIP plan currently in place at Cars.com. 
  

	 	4.	Restrictive Covenants. 

 (a) Executive agrees that during the period of his employment
hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after his employment ends, he will not, without the written consent of the President of Gannett Digital Ventures, seek or accept a position in the United States with a Competitor (as defined
below) in which Executive will use or is likely to use any confidential information or trade secrets of Cars.com, or in which Executive has duties for such Competitor within the United States that involve Competitive Services (as defined below) and
that are the same or similar to those services actually performed by Executive for Cars.com. It is acknowledged and agreed that this restriction shall apply in the circumstance of any termination of employment, initiated by either party for any
reason, except for a termination by Executive for “good reason” pursuant to Section 2(d) above, or a termination for convenience by Employer pursuant to Section 2(c) above. 

(b) Executive understands and agrees that the relationship between Employer and each of its employees constitutes a valuable asset of Employer
and may not be converted to Executive’s own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that during the period of his employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after his employment ends for any reason, Executive shall not
directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of another 

  
 -3- 

 
person, solicit or induce any employee to terminate his or her employment relationship with Employer or any affiliate of Employer or to enter into employment with another person. The foregoing
shall not apply to employees who respond to solicitations of employment directed to the general public or who seek employment at their own initiative. 

(c) For the purposes of this Section, “Competitive Services” means the business of selling or otherwise providing a national
searchable online resource to individuals and businesses seeking to purchase, sell or lease (other than short-term rentals) passenger cars or light trucks through internet websites or digital platforms (including in conjunction with any competitive
platform or business listed on Schedule A attached hereto) or selling or otherwise providing to third parties through such websites or platforms products and services substantially equivalent to those included in the Customer Packages offered
by Cars.com. The parties acknowledge that Cars.com may from time to time during the term of this Agreement change or increase the line of goods or services it provides, and Executive agrees to amend this Agreement from time to time to include such
different or additional goods and services to the definition of “Competitive Services” for purposes of this Section.

 (g) In the event that any provision of this

	 	5.	Non-Disparagement. 

 Executive will not, at any
time during or after his employment ends for any reason, make any statement or take any action that is, that is intended to be or that would reasonably be perceived as being slanderous, libelous, derogatory, harmful, damaging, detrimental or
otherwise adverse to Cars.com or any of its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, managers or executives, or their respective businesses, operations, prospects, affairs, or reputations among their respective customers, affiliated
websites, advertisers, vendors, suppliers, shareholders, 

  
 -5- 

 
investors, analysts, competitors, executives, agents, Executives, contractors and representatives; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to limit any party’s ability to
answer truthfully any questions of fact (as opposed to questions as to such party’s opinion or belief) that may be put to such party under oath in any litigation, arbitration or governmental investigative proceeding. 

 

	 	6.	Non-Disclosure. 

 Executive agrees that the terms
and conditions of this Agreement (“Subject Terms and Conditions”) are highly confidential and secret to Employer and covenants to forever keep secret the Subject Terms and Conditions from, and not to disclose the Subject Terms and
Conditions to, any non-party (including competitors and other managers and Executives of Employer) without the express written permission of Employer, except that Executive may disclose the Subject Terms and
Conditions to his or her legal and financial advisors. If the parties or their attorneys receive a subpoena or other lawful governmental request or demand (“Request”) for information governed by this provision or the Executive
Confidentiality and Assignment of Work Product Agreement, then the party receiving the Request shall provide notice to the non-receiving party within three (3) business days or less time so as to enable
the parties to take all reasonable and lawful steps to prevent disclosure. 
  

	 	7.	Work Product. 

 (a) All work product produced by Executive in the performance of the
services as President and CEO of Cars.com, alone or in conjunction with any other officer, agent or other employee of Cars.com, or Gannett Co., Inc., during the Term will be owned solely and exclusively by Cars.com, and Executive agrees he will not
make any claims with respect thereto. This includes, but is not limited to, any ideas, concepts, treatments, proposals, budgets, business contacts, and business relationships that Executive develops or contributes to in furtherance of performing his
services, as well as all patent, copyright, trademark, know-how and other proprietary rights that may be secured in any place under laws now or hereafter in effect. 

(b) The Work Product will remain the property of Cars.com, its affiliated and associated companies within Gannett Co., Inc. in perpetuity
after the Term and after the ending of Executive’s employment. 
 (c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of ownership
pursuant to Section 201 of the U.S. Copyright Act (but not for tax or any other purpose), all the results and proceeds of Executive’s services hereunder, including the copyrights in all works of authorship created pursuant to this
employment, shall be deemed works made for hire for Cars.com, and that Cars.com or any of its assigns shall be deemed the author of such works made for hire. 

(d) In the event the results and proceeds identified in the preceding paragraph are found not to be works made for hire, then Executive agrees
to assign and transfer all right, title and interest, including any “Moral Rights,” he may have in those results and proceeds throughout the world, including the copyrights in all works of authorship, patent, trademark, knowhow and other
proprietary rights to Cars.com for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which Executive hereby acknowledges, and to effectuate such assignment Executive hereby grants Gannet Co. Inc., an irrevocable power of attorney. 

  
 -6- 

 (e) Executive represents and warrants that the work product produced under and pursuant to this
Agreement will not infringe the patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights that exist as of the date hereof of any third party. 
  

	 	8.	Applicable Law; Severability; Waiver. 

 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Illinois, regardless of the principles relating to conflicts of law. Each covenant of this Agreement shall be deemed and shall be construed as a separate and independent covenant and, should any part or provision of any
such covenant be declared unlawful, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such illegality, voidness or unenforceability shall in no way render unlawful, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement or
any other separate covenant not declared unlawful, void or unenforceable. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or any portion of any such covenant is against the policy of the laws of the State of Georgia, Executive hereby
requests that any reviewing court modify any such covenant to comport with the reasonable intent and expectations of the parties and in favor of providing reasonable protection to Employer’s legitimate business interests, and grant only the
relief reasonably necessary to protect such interests and to achieve the original intent of the parties to the extent possible, as long as the modification does not render the covenant more restrictive with regard to Executive than as originally
drafted by the parties. Executive acknowledges that such modification may include, but is not limited to, severing or removing that part of a covenant that would otherwise make the entire covenant unenforceable, or enforcing the provisions of a
covenant to the extent that the provisions are reasonable. Any covenants so modified, any partially unenforceable provisions and all remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The waiver by any party of a breach of
any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. 
  

	 	9.	Survival. 

 Any termination of Executive’s employment or of this Agreement shall not
affect the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 hereof, which shall each survive such termination in accordance with its terms. 
  

	 	10.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior understandings or agreements between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. 

(b) Assignment; Assumption; Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is personal to Executive and will not be assignable by Executive.
This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the business or securities of Employer which assumes this Agreement, whether expressly or by operation of law.

Treasury rules or other guidance issued thereunder, Employer may, in consultation with Executive, modify this Agreement in order to cause the provisions of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, so as to avoid
the imposition of taxes and penalties on Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. 
 (h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be

Alex Vetter 
 Cars.com 

175 West Jackson Blvd 
 8th Floor 

Chicago, IL 60604 
 Dear Alex, 

Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of TEGNA Inc., I am pleased to extend you an offer to continue your position as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of Cars.com (the “Company”) following the date the Company is spun off from TEGNA (the “Spinoff”). The terms of your employment after the Spinoff are set forth below. 

Reporting Relationship and Location. While serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company after the Spinoff you will report
directly to the Board of Directors of the Company, and your primary office location will be at the Company’s headquarters in Chicago, IL. This is a full-time exempt position. 

Total Target Compensation. The initial total compensation opportunity is detailed below. 

 

					
	 Component of Pay
	  	 Amount
	  	 Comments

	Annual Base Salary	  	$550,000	  	Effective the day after the Spinoff
			
	Annual Performance Bonus Target	  	110% of base salary	  	 •       Effective the day after the Spinoff

			
		  		  	 •       Bonus for full-year 2017 will be based on a
combination of applicable target awards and KPIs pre- and post-Spinoff and is subject to the Code Section 162(m) limitations on such bonus established by Parent

			
		  		  	 •       Payment of the full-year 2017 bonus will occur in
Q1 2018

			
	Long-Term Incentive Target Value	  	$3.0M Annualized	  	 •       Effective after the Spinoff

			
		  		  	 •       In January 2017, you will be granted a long term
incentive award in the form of TEGNA restricted stock units with the same design as other TEGNA senior leadership participants. The value of such award will be consistent with your current target level value

			
		  		  	 •       Upon the Spinoff, the January 2017 award shall be
converted into an award of Cars.com restricted stock units under the concentration method

			
		  		  	 •       After the Spinoff, it is expected that the new
Executive Compensation Committee of the Cars.com Board of Directors will grant you an additional award reflecting your role as CEO and whose value when added to the value of your pre-Spinoff 2017 award will be
approximately $3.0 million

			
	Total Target Compensation	  	$4.155M	  	Shown on a full-year basis

 Annual Performance Bonus. You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual bonus
plan as in effect from time to time. 
 Long-Term Incentive. For your January 2017 grant, you will be eligible to participate in the TEGNA
Inc. 2001 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “LTI Plan”) and be granted a restricted stock unit award as determined by the Executive Compensation Committee of the TEGNA Board of Directors (the “ECC”). Such award
will be subject to approval of the ECC and the terms of the LTI Plan and the award agreement. Upon the Spinoff, the 2017 award shall be converted into an award of restricted stock units in Cars.com stock under the concentration method. For awards
granted after January 2017, it is anticipated that the Company will adopt its own Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) will grant you
stock-based awards under that Plan from time to time. 
 For stock-based awards granted on or after the date of this letter, in the event the Company
involuntarily terminates you without cause under circumstances that constitute a “qualifying termination” under the Cars.com Inc. Executive Severance Plan or a successor severance plan, you will receive service credit and continue to vest
in such awards for no less than the 18 month period following your termination of employment. 
 The initial stock-based awards granted to you on or after
the date of the Spinoff will include change in control vesting and payment provisions that are substantially similar to the change in control vesting and payment provisions generally provided in the stock-based award agreements under the LTI Plan as
of the date of this letter. 
 Benefits. You will be eligible for the retirement and welfare benefits programs generally offered by the
Company in accordance with the terms of such plans as in effect from time to time, which may be amended. 
 Stock Ownership Guidelines. The
Company will establish stock ownership guidelines that will be communicated to you after the Spinoff. 
 Severance Benefits and Restrictive
Covenants. In lieu of your severance rights under your Employment Agreement dated November 4, 2014, (the “Employment Agreement”) you will become a participant in the following severance programs: 

 

	•	 	The Company will adopt a change in control severance plan, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Change in Control Severance Plan”). Subject to the terms of the Change in Control
Severance Plan, you will have the opportunity to receive a severance benefit in the event of a change in control of the Company in an amount that is not less than 2.0X base + bonus (bonus defined as the average bonus you were paid in the three
preceding years). While the Change in Control Severance Plan may be amended or terminated, the Company agrees at all times to provide you the opportunity to receive a change in control severance benefit in the amount of 2.0X base + bonus under such
plan or a successor plan, subject to the terms of the plan or successor plan. 

  

	•	 	 The Company will adopt an executive severance plan, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
“Executive Severance Plan”). Subject to the terms of the Executive Severance Plan, you will have the opportunity to receive a benefit in an amount that is not less than 1.5X base + bonus (bonus defined as the average bonus you were paid in
the three preceding years). While the Executive Severance Plan may be amended or terminated, the Company agrees at all times to provide you the opportunity to receive a severance 

  
 -2- 

	 	 
benefit in the amount of 1.5X base + bonus under such plan or a successor plan, subject to the terms of the plan or successor plan. In the event a severance benefit is also payable under the
Change in Control Severance Plan, or a successor plan, no benefit will be payable under the Executive Severance Plan, or successor plan. 

Impact to Your Current Employment Contract. In consideration for the compensation offered under this letter, you hereby agree to forever waive
and relinquish your rights under your Employment Agreement with the sole exception that you will continue to have the severance rights set forth under the Employment Agreement with respect to the long-term incentive awards that have been granted to
you as of the date of this letter, but not for any long-term incentive awards granted after the date of this letter, including, without limitation, the long-term incentive awards contemplated by this letter. 

Vacation. You will be eligible for 5 weeks’ annual vacation. 

Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this letter is contingent upon the occurrence of the Spinoff, and, if for any reason, the Spinoff is not
consummated, this letter will be void ab initio. Effective as of the Spinoff, this letter will be assumed by the Company without further action, and TEGNA will have no obligations with respect thereto. 

You are free to resign at any time, with or without cause. Similarly, your employment with the Company is “at will”, and the Company may terminate
your employment at any time, with or without cause, so long as there is no violation of applicable federal or state law. Your right to participate in and receive benefits under the Company’s various benefits and compensation plans are subject
to the terms of the plans. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate its benefits and compensation plans at any time, and all compensation paid to you is subject to applicable taxes and withholding requirements. 

We are delighted at the prospect of your leading the Company following the Spinoff, in what we expect will be a mutually rewarding relationship and productive
experience. Should the terms of this letter be acceptable, we would appreciate you confirming agreement with your signature below by close of business on November 2, 2016. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. 

Best regards,
