Gray Television Announces Pricing of

$375.0 Million of Add-on Senior Notes Due 2020

ATLANTA, October 15, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GTN) announced today that it has priced its previously announced offering of additional 7½% senior notes due 2020 (the “Additional Notes”). The Company will issue $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes, which represents an increase of $75.0 million from the initial offer size, at a price of 102.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest from and including October 1, 2013. The Additional Notes will be an additional issuance of, and will rank equally and form a single series with, the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7½% senior notes due 2020, which were issued on October 9, 2012 (the “Existing Notes”). The Additional Notes will have the same terms as the Existing Notes, and collectively will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company, and will be guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing, and certain future, subsidiaries.

The sale of the Additional Notes is expected to be completed on October 18, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of Additional Notes, after deducting transaction fees and estimated offering expenses, to repay approximately $376 million of the term loan outstanding under our senior credit facility.

The Additional Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any other place and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. The Additional Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Additional Notes, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any Additional Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933.
