                                DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

       This application is additional to a number of previously filed applications that sought the
Commission’s consent to a transaction (the “Transaction”) that combined the television
broadcast operations of Media General, Inc. (“Existing Media General”) with those of LIN
Media LLC (“LIN Media”). Specifically, those applications sought and have been granted
authorizing:

        •       consent to a long-form transfer of control of the license subsidiaries of LIN Media,
                by making LIN Media’s wholly owned subsidiary LIN Television Corporation
                (“LIN”) a wholly owned subsidiary of a new holding company, Mercury New
                Holdco, Inc. (which will be renamed Media General, Inc. at closing) (“Post-Merger
                Media General”); and

            •   consent to a pro forma restructuring of Existing Media General to insert Post-
                Merger Media General and its newly-acquired subsidiary, LIN, above Existing
                Media General in the corporate structure (see post-merger Structure Charts attached
                hereto).

       At the conclusion of the Transaction, the shares of Post-Merger Media General are held
approximately 67.4% by current shareholders of Existing Media General and 32.6% by current
shareholders of LIN Media.
