Gannett to Hold Virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders

MCLEAN, Va.--()--Gannett Co., Inc. (“Gannett”, the “Company”) (NYSE: GCI) announced today that it will hold its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) virtually due to the ongoing public health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to support the health and safety of the Company’s stockholders, employees, and communities.

The Annual Meeting will be held on the same date and time as originally scheduled: Monday, June 8, 2020 at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Please monitor our website at https://investors.gannett.com/annualmeeting for updated information. As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting.

Attending the Virtual Annual Meeting

Stockholders as of the close of business on April 13, 2020, the record date, can attend the Annual Meeting by accessing www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GCI2020 and entering the 16-digit unique control number found on the proxy card or voting instruction form included with the proxy materials previously received. We encourage stockholders to allow sufficient time to log in prior to the start of the Annual Meeting. During the Annual Meeting, stockholders who have entered their 16-digit unique control number will have the opportunity to vote and ask questions. Guests who are not stockholders are welcome to join the virtual meeting but will be restricted to listen-only mode.

If stockholders encounter technical difficulties accessing our Annual Meeting, a support line will be available on the login page of the virtual meeting website shortly before the beginning of the Annual Meeting.

Stockholders who have not voted their shares prior to the Annual Meeting or who wish to change their vote will be able to vote their shares electronically at the Annual Meeting while the polls are open.

Whether or not stockholders plan to attend the Annual Meeting, they are encouraged to vote their shares prior to the Annual Meeting as described in the proxy materials they previously received.

Stockholders who have already voted do not need to vote again.
