*On August 5, 2019, Gannett Media Corp. (formerly known as Gannett Co., Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Old Gannett”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Gannett Co., Inc. (formerly known as New Media Investment Group Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Gannett Holdings LLC (formerly known as Arctic Holdings LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, and Arctic Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), providing for the Company to acquire Old Gannett.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Old Gannett (the “Merger”).  As a result of the Merger, Old Gannett became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which was renamed “Gannett Co., Inc.” immediately after the effective time of the Merger.
