liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of this issue. </P>

"), pursuant to which Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Predecessor Media General (the "
Media General Merger

Media General Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Successor Media General, immediately after which Merger Sub 2 merged with and into LIN (the "
LIN Merger

Common Stock, in each case subject to the same terms and conditions as those that applied to the MG Predecessor Stock-Based Awards. The
MG Conversion Ratio

LIN Merger Effective
Time
"), (a) each option to purchase a Class A common share of LIN (each, a "

criminal law or of any federal or state securities law, including, without limitation, any claim of unlawful insider trading or manipulation of the market for any security. The Registrant's amended and restated articles of incorporation provide
for such limitation of liability.
Sections 13.1-697 and 13.1-702 of the VSCA empower a corporation to indemnify any current or former
director or officer made a party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding; provided that such director or officer conducted himself or herself in good faith; believes, in the case
of conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, that his or her conduct was in the corporation's best interest and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests;
and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The VSCA also provides that a corporation may make any other or further indemnity (including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in
the right of the corporation) if authorized by its articles of incorporation or a shareholder-adopted bylaw, except an indemnity against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.
The Registrant's amended and restated articles of incorporation will provide that it shall indemnify (a) any person who was or is a
party to any proceeding, including a proceeding brought by a shareholder in the right of the Registrant or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the Registrant, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant, except for liability resulting from such person having engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or (b) any director or officer who is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director,
trustee, partner or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability incurred by him in connection with such proceeding unless he or she is engaged in willful
misconduct or a known violation of criminal law. The Registrant is also expressly required to pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by any applicant, director or officer who is a party to a proceeding in
advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. The advancement and reimbursement obligations of the Registrant are subject to a written undertaking by the person to reimburse such expenses in the event that it is ultimately determined that the
person is not entitled to indemnification due to an ultimate determination that such person's conduct failed to meet the required standard of conduct.

Item 9.
Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of this issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Richmond, Commonwealth of Virginia, on December 22, 2014.
