Gabelli funds weigh board nominations at E.W. Scripps (SSP)

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Gabelli-affiliated investment entities have updated their ownership disclosure in E.W. Scripps’ Class A common shares. The reporting group now beneficially owns 4,383,703 Class A shares, or 5.70% of the 76,869,408 Class A shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

The group, led by Mario Gabelli–related entities such as GAMCO Asset Management and Gabelli Funds, spent approximately $1,656,713 to buy additional shares since their most recent filing, with recent purchases in January 2026 mostly between about $3.34 and $3.90 per share. E.W. Scripps has a dual‑class structure, with separate voting stock controlling most corporate decisions.

GAMCO previously nominated three director candidates in 2018, who were not elected, and is again evaluating whether to nominate directors ahead of a February 4, 2026 deadline. The filing states that no offer or proposal has been made, no negotiations are underway, and no agreement exists regarding the company at this time.

Insights

Activist & governance analyst

Gabelli group holds 5.7% of E.W. Scripps and is re-evaluating potential director nominations.

The filing shows a coordinated group of Gabelli-related entities holding 4,383,703 Class A shares, or 5.70% of E.W. Scripps’ Class A stock, based on September 30, 2025 outstanding figures. Recent purchases totaling about $1,656,713 occurred mostly in January 2026 at prices in the mid‑$3 range.

E.W. Scripps operates with a dual‑class capital structure: 76,869,408 Class A shares and 11,932,722 Common Voting shares as of September 30, 2025. Class A holders primarily elect a minority of the board and have limited voting power on other matters, while Common Voting stockholders elect the remaining directors and vote on all other issues.

The filing notes that GAMCO is evaluating “all options” ahead of a February 4, 2026 director‑nomination deadline and is re‑examining prior nominees from 2018. It explicitly states there is currently no offer, proposal, negotiation, or agreement regarding E.W. Scripps, so any potential board contest remains exploratory at this stage.
