A preliminary vote count shows that Class A shareholders of The E.W. Scripps Company (NYSE: SSP) have elected all three of Scripps' Class A nominees as directors to the company's board: Lauren R. Fine, Roger L. Ogden and Kim Williams.

The vote count was provided by Scripps' proxy solicitor following the company's 2018 annual meeting of shareholders.

"The Scripps board and management thank shareholders for their input and their support," said Adam Symson, Scripps' President and CEO. "The company has strong momentum behind its transformational strategy to increase margins and cash flow in our Local Media business and to create long-term value through increased growth across our National Media business. We look forward to building on this progress in partnership with all of our shareholders."

The form will be filed within four business days of the meeting and at that time will be available online at http://ir.scripps.com and www.sec.gov.
