Context
Performance-share grants are common executive compensation and are contingent on meeting performance/vesting conditions; they do not represent an immediate purchase or sale of stock. The economic value realized will depend on TEGNA’s stock price and the award’s vesting conditions at the delivery date. This filing reports the grant itself and does not by itself signal insider buying or selling.
