    EFiled: Aug 09 2018 12:05AM EDT Transaction ID 62327554 Case No. 2018-0593- IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE Tribune Media Company, a Delaware corporation, Plaintiff, C.A. No. 2018- _____-_____ v. Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation, Defendant. VERIFIED COMPLAINT Plaintiff, Tribune Media Company (“Tribune”), by and through its undersigned attorneys, files this Verified Complaint against Defendant, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”), and alleges as follows: Introduction 1. Tribune and Sinclair are media companies that own and operate local television stations. In May 2017, the companies entered into an Agreement and 1 Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Sinclair agreed to acquire Tribune for cash and stock valued at $43.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.9 billion (the “Merger”). 1 A true and correct copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit A. The Merger Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. Unless defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Verified Complaint have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. RLF1 19833012v.1 2. Sinclair owns the largest number of local television stations of any media company in the United States, and Tribune and Sinclair were well aware that a combination of the two companies would trigger regulatory scrutiny by both the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”). Because speed and certainty were critical to Tribune, it conditioned its agreement on obtaining from Sinclair a constrictive set of deal terms obligating Sinclair to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain prompt regulatory clearance of the transaction.

  • JOE DONLON Anchor (Weekday)
    JOE DONLON Anchor (Weekday) 21-Year News Veteran From WGN-TV (Chicago) Also Worked in Oregon, Arizona, and Texas “It’s a dream to get the call to work for a legendary station I grew up watching (WGN)... Now, I’ll get to launch another ambitious project across the country on WGN America.” Joe Donlon didn’t have to travel far to join the team at News Nation. He was already in the building. In early 2018, the St. Louis native returned to his Midwest roots to anchor the evening news at “Chicago’s Very Own” WGN-TV. Donlon came to Chicago after 21 years as the main anchor at KGW-TV (NBC) in Portland, Oregon. Before that, he spent 10 years at KVOA-TV (NBC) in Tucson. He started his career at KZTV (CBS) in Corpus Christi, Texas. His reporting has taken him as far away as Kuwait, just days after the end of Operation Desert Storm. There have been conventions, impeachments, Olympics, National Championship football and basketball games, and more. He likes to say he has had an incredibly fortunate front row seat to a lot of history. Donlon called it a “dream” to get the call to work for a legendary station he grew up watching. “It has been an honor to share the news set with some of the iconic personalities who introduced the nation to WGN as a superstation,” Joe says. "Now, I’ll get to follow in their footsteps as we launch another ambitious project across the country on WGN America." Donlon and his wife, Kathleen, have three grown children who are all living in Chicago.

I. INTRODUCTION 1. On June 28, 2017, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Sinclair) and Tribune Media Company (Tribune) filed applications seeking to transfer control of Tribune subsidiaries to Sinclair.1 Sinclair and Tribune have amended their applications several times thereafter, in an attempt to bring the transaction into compliance with the Commission’s national television multiple ownership rule, as well as the public- interest requirements of the Communications Act. 2. Among these applications were three that, rather than transfer broadcast television licenses in Chicago, Dallas, and Houston directly to Sinclair, proposed to transfer these licenses to other entities.2 The record raises significant questions as to whether those proposed divestitures were in fact “sham” transactions.
