(“HM 4-EN Coinvestors”) for $5.48 per share (which was the closing price of Class A Common Stock on November 8, 2012).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

HM&Co. acquired the shares of Class B Common Stock from FOF Coinvestors and HM 4-EN Coinvestors as part of a plan to dissolve FOF Coinvestors and HM 4-EN Coinvestors, and received shares of Class B Common Stock from HM 4-P Coinvestors in connection with the redemption of its interests in HM 4-P Coinvestors.

The Filing Parties hold the Company’s securities for investment. The Filing Parties may convert their shares of Class B Common Stock (and as a result, their share of the Company’s Class C Common Stock (“Class C Common Stock”)) into shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time and may sell such shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time. In addition, the Filing Parties may sell their shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock from time to time.

None of the Filing Parties currently has any plan or proposal to acquire additional securities of the Company except pursuant to stock-based awards that Mr. Muse may receive as a director of the Company. The Filing Parties will continually review their investment in the Company’s securities and, subject to market conditions, general economic conditions, contractual and legal restrictions and other factors, any Filing Party may in the future determine to acquire additional shares of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Class A Common Stock.

The Filing Parties intend to support the Company’s merger with and into LIN Media LLC, which will have the effect of converting the Company’s form of organization from a corporation to a limited liability company structure.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Filing Parties have no present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act. The Filing Parties reserve the right to change their investment intent.
