About Meredith Holdings Corp

Meredith Holdings Corp is a legacy U.S. media vehicle tied to the restructuring of Meredith Corporation and to the national media segment of the broader Meredith group. It was associated with the American NYSE/NASDAQ universe through Meredith’s public-company history and the 2021 separation and subsequent acquisition process, before being acquired by Dotdash Media Inc., a subsidiary of IAC. For international investors, the name should be understood primarily in the context of consumer media, publishing, and digital content rather than as a standalone operating growth company. The company is organized under United States law, with historical roots in Iowa, and the group’s executive/corporate offices were long associated with Des Moines, Iowa. Historically, Meredith’s business model centered on two broad pillars: national media and local media. Before the 2021 restructuring, the portfolio included well-known consumer brands focused on women, lifestyle, food, home, health, entertainment, and general consumer engagement. The national media side encompassed magazine publishing, digital platforms, targeted marketing, and cross-platform content distribution. Revenue generation relied on combining editorial brands, advertising inventory, audience reach, and increasingly digital monetization, with a multi-channel approach spanning print, digital, video, and data-driven marketing. From a competitive standpoint, Meredith built its position on the strength and recognition of its brands, its ability to reach large female and family-oriented audiences, and its experience monetizing that audience across formats. In the highly fragmented and structurally challenged U.S. media landscape, the company differentiated itself through trusted consumer brands and a relatively balanced mix of legacy publishing and digital growth initiatives. That said, the sector remains exposed to advertising cyclicality, the secular decline of print, and intense competition from large digital platforms and content aggregators. Recent developments have been dominated by the 2021 corporate reorganization: Meredith separated its local and national media businesses, distributed the new Meredith Holdings Corporation to shareholders, and then saw that entity acquired by Dotdash Media. As a result, Meredith Holdings Corp should be viewed as part of a major consolidation event in U.S. media, rather than as a normal standalone public issuer with an ongoing independent operating profile. For that reason, SEC filings such as Form 4 insider transactions should be interpreted in the context of spin-off, merger, and post-transaction ownership changes in the United States media sector.
