Tennant Bryan Revocable Declaration of Trust, J. Stewart Bryan III, and the D. Tennant Bryan Media Trust with respect to Class A Common Stock of Media General, Inc. Defined terms herein have the same meaning as in the original statement on, or Amendments to, Schedule 13D. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Since the filing of Amendment 3 to Schedule 13D, shares acquired or disposed of by J. Stewart Bryan III have been primarily in connection with the operation of various Company employee benefit plans, including the grant and exercise of stock options and the purchase of shares under a 401 (k) plan. The net decrease in ownership percentage reported by the Group in this Amendment 4 is primarily the result of various dispositions of a total of 295,543 shares by the D. Tennant Bryan Revocable Declaration of Trust as partial payment of the federal estate taxes imposed upon the death of D. Tennant Bryan. There has also been a net increase (as of December 31, 2001) of 150,853 in the number of outstanding shares since the filing of Amendment 3. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) The aggregate number and percentage of Class A and Class B Common Stock of Media General, Inc. (based on 22,420,065 Class A Shares and 556,574 Class B shares outstanding as of December 31, 2001) for Mr. Bryan and each trust are as follows: Revocable Trust 1,264,578 Class A 5.64% J. Stewart Bryan III 1,132,400 Class A 5.05%* 55,036 Class B 9.9% (includes 45,432 Class A in the Company 401 (k) plan and 205,434 Class A subject to exercisable options as of 1/31/02 but does not include shares held by the Revocable Trust or the Media Trust) Media Trust .373,000 Class A 1.7%* 373,000 Class B 67.0% * The Class A total for J. Stewart Bryan III includes the number of Class B shares held by him, and the Class A shares reported by the Media Trust are equal to the number of Class B shares listed, since Class B shares are convertible into an equal number of Class A shares at the option of the holder. (b) Mr. Bryan shares the power to vote and dispose of the shares listed for the Revocable Trust with his two sisters, who are also trustees. Mr. Bryan is the sole trustee and has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares held by the Media Trust. Of the shares listed for Mr. Bryan, he has the sole power to vote and dispose of 652,400 Class A shares (55,200 of which are held in trust) and all of the Class B shares; and shares the power to vote and dispose of 480,000 Class A shares held by two separate trusts, as follows: Co-Trustee Shares ---------- ------ Mary Tennant Bryan Perkins 240,000 Florence Bryan Fowlkes 240,000 (c) See response in Item 3.
