Inc. (the &#147;<I>Company</I>&#148;), announced a series of transactions pursuant to which it will acquire ownership or operating rights to 15 network-affiliated television stations in seven markets (after giving effect to stations required to be
divested) from Hoak Media LLC (&#147;<I>Hoak</I>&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I></I>Specifically, Gray Television Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, has entered into a Purchase Agreement (the &#147;<I>Hoak Purchase Agreement</I>&#148;), dated as of November&nbsp;20, 2013, with Hoak pursuant to which it will acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of certain
subsidiaries of Hoak, which currently own and operate 16 television stations in eight markets (the &#147;<I>Hoak Acquisition</I>&#148;). In addition, Excalibur Broadcasting, LLC (&#147;<I>Excalibur</I>&#148;), an independently owned entity to which
Gray provides certain back office services and whose financial results will be consolidated with those of Gray in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, agreed to acquire four stations in four markets currently owned and/or
operated by Hoak (the &#147;<I>Excalibur Acquisition</I>&#148; and, together with the Hoak Acquisition, the &#147;<I>Acquisitions</I>&#148;). The aggregate purchase price to complete the Acquisitions is $335.0 million in cash, subject to a working
capital adjustment of up to $10.0 million. <I> </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with antitrust and Federal Communications Commission requirements and
pursuant to the Hoak Purchase Agreement, Gray will sell to one or more independent third parties four of the television stations being acquired from Hoak (WMBB (ABC) in the Panama City, FL market and KREX (CBS), KREY (CBS) and KREG (CBS) in the
Grand Junction, CO market). Similarly, Excalibur will sell KFQX (FOX) in the Grand Junction, CO market to an independent third party. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consummation of the Acquisitions is subject to various customary closing conditions, including (i)&nbsp;the expiration or termination of the
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and (ii)&nbsp;regulatory approval from the FCC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gray expects to fund the purchase price to complete the Hoak Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and funds from one or more
external financing sources, which could include senior credit facility financing or proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity securities. Completion of the Acquisitions is expected to occur in the first half of 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Hoak Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties customary for transactions of this type. Hoak also agreed to various
covenants in the Hoak Purchase Agreement, including, among other things, covenants (i)&nbsp;to operate in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (ii)&nbsp;not to take certain actions prior to the closing of the Acquisition
without prior consent of the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the Hoak Acquisition is attached

Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 20, 2013, Gray Television,
Inc. (the "
Company
"), announced a series of transactions pursuant to which it will acquire ownership or operating rights to 15 network-affiliated television stations in seven markets (after giving effect to stations required to be
divested) from Hoak Media LLC ("
Hoak
").
Specifically, Gray Television Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, has entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "
Hoak Purchase Agreement
"), dated as of November 20, 2013, with Hoak pursuant to which it will acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of certain
subsidiaries of Hoak, which currently own and operate 16 television stations in eight markets (the "
Hoak Acquisition
"). In addition, Excalibur Broadcasting, LLC ("
Excalibur
"), an independently owned entity to which
Gray provides certain back office services and whose financial results will be consolidated with those of Gray in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, agreed to acquire four stations in four markets currently owned and/or
operated by Hoak (the "
Excalibur Acquisition
" and, together with the Hoak Acquisition, the "
Acquisitions
"). The aggregate purchase price to complete the Acquisitions is $335.0 million in cash, subject to a working
capital adjustment of up to $10.0 million.
In accordance with antitrust and Federal Communications Commission requirements and
pursuant to the Hoak Purchase Agreement, Gray will sell to one or more independent third parties four of the television stations being acquired from Hoak (WMBB (ABC) in the Panama City, FL market and KREX (CBS), KREY (CBS) and KREG (CBS) in the
Grand Junction, CO market). Similarly, Excalibur will sell KFQX (FOX) in the Grand Junction, CO market to an independent third party.
Consummation of the Acquisitions is subject to various customary closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of the
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and (ii) regulatory approval from the FCC.
Gray expects to fund the purchase price to complete the Hoak Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and funds from one or more
external financing sources, which could include senior credit facility financing or proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity securities. Completion of the Acquisitions is expected to occur in the first half of 2014.
The Hoak Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties customary for transactions of this type. Hoak also agreed to various
covenants in the Hoak Purchase Agreement, including, among other things, covenants (i) to operate in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (ii) not to take certain actions prior to the closing of the Acquisition
without prior consent of the Company.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the Hoak Acquisition is attached
hereto as
Exhibit 99.1
and is incorporated herein by this reference.
