All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in the footnotes to these cover pages shall have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase. The aggregate number of Shares that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own is the sum of the following: (i) 2,724,207 Shares beneficially owned by the Purchaser; (ii) 15,455,062 Shares that would be beneficially owned by the Purchaser upon the Call Closing; (iii) 8,311,639 Shares that would be issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of the 8,311,639 shares of Class B Common Stock that would be beneficially owned by the Purchaser upon the Call Closing; (iv) 163,960 Shares that would be issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of 262.33603 shares of the Company’s 9¾% Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser; (v) 133,333,333 Shares that would be issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of $100 million of the Company’s Series B Convertible Subordinated Debt beneficially owned by the Purchaser; and (vi) 100,000,000 shares that would be issued to the Purchaser upon exercise of the Warrant. With respect to the Call Shares identified in sub-clauses (ii) and (iii) of this footnote 1, pursuant to the Call Agreement, the obligation of the Paxson Stockholders to deliver the Call Shares to the Purchaser is conditioned on the completion of the Offer and other material conditions, including FCC approval of the purchase of the Call Shares by the Purchaser and other conditions contained in the Call Agreement. Accordingly, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Call Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and any such beneficial ownership thereof is expressly disclaimed.
   
 
The aggregate number of Shares reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons excludes the following 470,227,426 Shares, which represent the maximum number of Shares that could be issued to the Purchaser in the Exchange Offer or the Contingent Exchange, as applicable; (a) 224,719,101 shares that would be issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of $200,000,000 aggregate stated liquidation preference of the Company’s Series E-2 Convertible Preferred Stock that, among other securities, would be issued to the Purchaser in exchange for the Company’s Series F Non-Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser, (b) 127,446,252 Shares that would be issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of $95,584,689 aggregate stated liquidation preference or principal amount, as applicable, of the Company’s preferred stock or the Company’s Series B Convertible Subordinated Debt that would be issued to the Purchaser in the Contingent Exchange or in respect of securities received by the Purchaser in the Contingent Exchange; (c) 13,333,333 Shares that would be issued upon conversion of $10 million in principal amount of the Company’s Series B Convertible Subordinated Debt that would be transferred by NBC Palm Beach I to the Purchaser if the Contingent Exchange occurs; (d) 20,000,000 Shares that would be issued upon conversion of up to $15 million of the Company’s Series B Convertible Subordinated Debt to be issued to the Purchaser to fund the Company’s expenses; and (e) 84,728,740 Shares that would be issued upon conversion of $76,403,430 in principal amount or aggregate stated liquidation preference, as applicable, of the Company’s Series B Convertible Subordinated Debt and the Company’s preferred stock that would be issued to the Purchaser in the Exchange Offer. The Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any of the Shares identified in sub-clauses (a) through (e) of this footnote 1, and the issuance to the Purchaser of the securities underlying those Shares is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the Exchange Offer and other material contingencies, including the number of holders of Senior Preferred Stock who participate in the Exchange Offer and the occurrence of the Exchange Offer or the Contingent Exchange, as applicable. Accordingly, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Shares identified in sub-clauses (a) through (e) of this footnote 1 for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and any such beneficial ownership thereof is expressly disclaimed.
   
 
Based on information reported by the NBCU Entities, National Broadcasting Company Holding, Inc. and General Electric Company in Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2007, NBC Palm Beach I holds 39,607 shares of 11% Series B Preferred Stock convertible into 198,035,000 Shares. If the Reporting Persons and the NBCU Entities were deemed to be a group by virtue of the transactions described in Section 11 —“Terms of the Master Transaction Agreement and Other Material Agreements” of the Offer to Purchase, the Reporting Persons would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 458,023,201 Shares. However, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of 11% Series B Preferred Stock owned by any of the NBCU Entities.
   
2 The denominator used in calculating this percentage is 307,186,117, which is the sum of (i) 65,377,185 outstanding Shares, as reported in the Master Transaction Agreement, and (ii) 241,808,932 Shares that would be issued upon conversion of the securities disclosed in footnote 1, items (iii) through (vi) above, of this Schedule 13D. If the Reporting Persons and the NBCU Entities were deemed to be a group by virtue of the transactions described in Section 11 —“Terms of the Master Transaction Agreement and Other Material Agreements” of the Offer to Purchase, the Reporting Persons would be deemed to beneficially own approximately 90.7% of the Shares. However, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of 11% Series B Preferred Stock owned by any of the NBCU Entities.

Purchaser is owned by Citadel Wellington LLC (‘‘CW’’) and Citadel Kensington Global Strategies Fund Ltd. (‘‘CKGS’’).

The terms and conditions of the offer are described in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 4, 2007 (the ‘‘Offer to Purchase’’) and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any supplements or amendments, collectively constitute the ‘‘Offer’’), copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively.
