by the requisite vote of stockholders at the Company&rsquo;s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Saga Communications, Inc. changed
its state of incorporation from Delaware to Florida (the &ldquo;Reincorporation&rdquo;). The Reincorporation was effectuated by

Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Saga Delaware (&ldquo;Saga Florida,&rdquo; the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;
or the &ldquo;Registrant&rdquo;), established for such purpose, with the Company as the surviving entity under the name &ldquo;Saga
Communications, Inc.&rdquo; The Company is deemed the successor issuer to Saga Delaware under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the &ldquo;Exchange Act&rdquo;).</P>

terms and conditions of such options and awards.</P>

The Florida Business Corporation Act, as amended (the &ldquo;FBCA&rdquo;), provides that, in general, a business corporation may
indemnify any person who is or was a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against liability incurred in connection
with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided certain standards are met, including that such officer or director
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation,
and provided further that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer or director had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the FBCA provides that,
in general, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to any such proceeding by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceedings, including any appeal thereof, provided that such person
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation,
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim as to which such person is adjudged liable unless a court
of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. To the extent
that any officers or directors are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any of the proceedings described above,
the FBCA provides that the corporation is required to indemnify such officers or directors against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred in connection therewith. However, the FBCA further provides that, in general, indemnification or advancement of expenses
shall not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or
her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of the action so adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of the
criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable
cause to believe it was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; (iii)
in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the director has voted for or assented to a distribution made in violation
of the FBCA or the corporation&rsquo;s articles of incorporation; or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best
interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding
by or in the right of a shareholder.</P>

of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission 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 such issue.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We refer to Post-Effective Amendment No.
1 (the &ldquo;Amendment&rdquo;) to registration statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-125361, 333-192101 and 333-228307, and, collectively,
the &ldquo;Registration Statements&rdquo; previously filed by Saga Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&ldquo;Saga Delaware&rdquo;))
filed today by Saga Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
for the purpose of updating the Registration Statements as a result of the Company&rsquo;s reincorporation in the State of Florida
from the State of Delaware (the &ldquo;Reincorporation&rdquo;). The Reincorporation was effectuated on May 20, 2020 by merging
Saga Delaware with and into the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saga Delaware established for such purpose, with the Company
as the surviving entity under the name &ldquo;Saga Communications, Inc.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company
expressly adopts the Registration Statements as its own registration statements for all purposes of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &ldquo;Exchange Act&rdquo;).
In accordance with Rule 414, promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company is deemed the successor issuer to Saga Delaware.
As a result, and in connection with the Reincorporation, the Company will assume from Saga Delaware the Second Amended and Restated
Saga Communications, Inc. 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;), and all of the outstanding options
and equity awards under the Plan. At the effective time of the Reincorporation, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Saga
Delaware common stock and equity awards were converted into an option to purchase the same number of shares and equity awards of
the Registrant&rsquo;s common stock, with no changes in the exercise price or other terms and conditions of such options and awards.</P>
