Dear Shareholder,

 

Due to the public health impact of the novel coronavirus and COVID-19 and to support the health and well-being of our shareholders, employees, and their families, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”) has been changed to a virtual meeting format only, via webcast, as noted as a possibility in Gray’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”). You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically in person. The Annual Meeting will continue to be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at 11:30 a.m., Eastern time.

 

As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, you are entitled to virtually attend, participate in, and vote at the Annual Meeting if you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on March 9, 2020, the record date.

 

In order to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, shareholders must register by May 3, 2020 at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, at http://viewproxy.com/graytelevision/2020/. Once registered, shareholders can attend, participate in and submit questions at the virtual Annual Meeting at http://viewproxy.com/graytelevision/2020/VM/. If you have already voted, you need not do anything further. Regardless of whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote as soon as possible by one of three convenient methods in order to ensure your shares are represented at the meeting: accessing the internet site listed on the notice of internet availability of proxy materials or proxy card, calling the toll-free number listed on the proxy card, or signing, dating and returning the proxy card in the previously provided postage-paid envelope. Any proxy you give will not be used if you attend the Annual Meeting and vote virtually.

 

The proxy card previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the virtual only meeting format and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.

 

For more information about the virtual Annual Meeting, please refer to the “Additional Information About the Virtual Annual Meeting” section on the next page of this Notice of Change of Location and Time.
