Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 22: CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company is the Issuer of the registered debt (see Note 9) and such debt is guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Subsidiary Guarantors are direct or indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The Company’s payment obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors, and all guarantees are full and unconditional. The subsidiaries of the Company that do not guarantee the Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company that primarily include the Company’s international operations.
The guarantees are subject to release under certain circumstances, including: (a) upon the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation or dissolution) of the interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor, after which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a restricted subsidiary of the Company, or all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, in any case, if such sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer is not prohibited by the Indenture, (b) upon the Company designating such Subsidiary Guarantor to be an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the Indenture, (c) in the case of any restricted subsidiary of the Company that after the issue date is required to guarantee the Notes, upon the release or discharge of the guarantee by such restricted subsidiary of any indebtedness of the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor or the repayment of any indebtedness of the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case, which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes, (d) upon the Company’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option in accordance with the Indenture or if the Company’s obligations under the Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, (e) upon the release or discharge of direct obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or the guarantee by such Guarantor of the obligations, under the Senior Credit Agreement, or (f) during the period when the rating of the Notes is changed to investment grade.
In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Company has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Rule 3-10(f) of SEC Regulation S-X. The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of Tribune Media Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the Company’s information on a consolidated basis.
