8-K Financial Filing Analysis for TEGNA (2026-03-20)
On March 19, 2026, TEGNA Inc. completed its merger with Nexstar Media Group, Inc., pursuant to which TEGNA became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nexstar. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of TEGNA common stock was automatically converted into the right to receive $22.00 in cash without interest. Following the consummation of the transaction, TEGNA notified the New York Stock Exchange to suspend trading and initiate delisting via Form 25, alongside terminating its registration and reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. In conjunction with the closing, Nexstar executed a supplemental indenture amending TEGNA's 5.000% Senior Notes due 2029 following a majority consent solicitation to eliminate restrictive covenants. TEGNA's entire pre-merger board of directors and executive management team stepped down, replaced by Nexstar executives Perry Sook, Lee Ann Gliha, and Rachel Morgan.
This marks the final closing and delisting of TEGNA, consolidating one of the largest local television broadcasting networks in the United States under Nexstar Media Group.
