Company to Simultaneously Evaluate Separation of Ventures

Sinclair, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) (“Sinclair” or the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a comprehensive strategic review for its Broadcast business. With record financial performance and proven operational excellence, Sinclair intends to be a catalyst in the broadcast industry’s evolution. The Company will evaluate all value-enhancing opportunities, including acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and business combinations, with potential partners in the broadcast and the broader media and technology ecosystem.

To optimize value creation across its portfolio, the Company will simultaneously evaluate separating Ventures through a spin-off, split-off, or other transaction. This dual-track approach reflects the Board’s commitment to unlocking the full potential of both businesses, each of which has distinct growth profiles and value drivers.

This unanimous Board mandate provides Sinclair with the flexibility to pursue transformational opportunities without predetermined limitations on transaction structures, enabling the Company to execute the most compelling strategy in today’s dynamic broadcast and media landscape.

“Scale wins in today’s broadcast industry, and we intend to lead that consolidation,” said Chris Ripley, President & Chief Executive Officer of Sinclair, Inc. “Our Broadcast business’s industry-leading performance positions us as the partner of choice for value creation. Simultaneously, we expect separating Ventures will crystallize significant value that the market has overlooked within our current structure, giving us even more flexibility to drive our broadcast strategy forward.”

Sinclair’s Broadcast business has consistently outperformed industry peers, with advertising revenues growing year-over-year in the most recent quarter despite record political displacement. The Company’s Ventures portfolio represents significant additional value through its diversified investments in real estate, private equity, and technology.

There is no assurance that the strategic review will result in any transaction or other strategic change, and Sinclair does not intend to disclose developments unless and until the Board approves a specific course of action or the Company otherwise determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required by law.
