Discovery, Inc. (“WBD”).

The following matters were submitted to a vote of the Discovery stockholders at the Special Meeting: (1) proposals to approve the amendment and restatement of Discovery’s restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Discovery charter”), (a) to reclassify and automatically convert Discovery capital stock issued and outstanding or held by Discovery as treasury stock immediately prior to the effective time of such amendment and restatement into such number of shares of Series A common stock of WBD, par value $0.01 per share (“WBD common stock”), as set forth in the Merger Agreement, (b) to increase the authorized shares of WBD common stock to 10,800,000,000 shares, (c) to increase the authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock of WBD, par value $0.01 per share, to 1,200,000,000 shares, (d) to declassify the WBD board of directors into one class of directors upon the election of directors at WBD’s third annual meeting of stockholders after the completion of the Merger and make certain related changes and (e) to provide for all other changes in connection with such amendment and restatement; (2) a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of WBD common stock to the Spinco stockholders in the Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (3) a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the “golden parachute” compensation payments that will or may be paid by Discovery to its named executive officers in connection with the Merger.
