Regulation FD Disclosure

TEGNA Inc. (TEGNA or the Company) will present an overview of the
Company and information related to the previously announced
proposed spin-off (the Spin-Off) of Cars.com Inc. (Cars.com)

The presentation included 2016 revenue on a pro forma basis. The
pro forma basis represented 2016 TEGNA reported GAAP revenues
excluding Cars.com revenues. This non-GAAP information was

other stakeholders allowing them to see what 2016 revenues would
have been for TEGNAs ongoing businesses. The below table
