Explanation of Responses:	
(  1) 	Represents shares of common stock of the Issuer received in connection with the separation of the Issuer from Tribune Media Company ("Tribune Media"), which was completed on August 4, 2014 (the "Spin-off").	
(  2) 	The securities reported are the result of the conversion of stock options originally granted by Tribune Media into stock options, both vested and unvested, of the Issuer in connection with the Spin-off. The number of stock options received and the exercise price was based on a ratio provided in the Employee Matters Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2014, between the Issuer and Tribune Media (the "Employee Matters Agreement"). Other than this conversion, these stock options have the same terms and conditions, including vesting and exercisability, as the original Tribune Media stock options had immediately prior to the Spin-off. 13,083 stock options vested on March 1, 2014, and the remaining 39,250 stock options will vest in three installments of 13,083, 13,083 and 13,084 stock options on March 1, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service.	
(  3) 	The securities reported are the result of the conversion of restricted stock units originally granted by Tribune Media into restricted stock units of the Issuer in connection with the Spin-off. The number of restricted stock units received was based on a ratio provided in the Employee Matters Agreement. Each restricted stock unit represents the equivalent of one share of the Issuer's common stock. Other than this conversion, these restricted stock units have the same terms and conditions, including vesting, as the original Tribune Media restricted stock units had immediately prior to the Spin-off. One third of these restricted stock units will vest on each of March 1, 2015, 2016 and 2017, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service.
