January 8, 2021 Dear Fellow Stockholders: on Behalf of The January 8, 2021 Dear Fellow Stockholders: On behalf of the Board of Directors of Gannett Co., Inc. (‘‘Gannett’’ or the ‘‘Company’’), I cordially invite you to attend a Special Meeting of Stockholders of Gannett Co., Inc. (the ‘‘Special Meeting’’) to be held on February 26, 2021, at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time, solely over the Internet in a virtual-only format at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GCI2021SM. The Special Meeting is being held in connection with the Company’s previously announced refinancing of its 11.5% term loan, on November 17, 2020, through the issuance of approximately $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2027 (the ‘‘Notes’’). The refinancing has three key benefits for the Company: first, it generates significant savings, reducing the Company’s annual interest expense by approximately $28 million per year; second, by reducing the outstanding balance of the term loan, the refinancing paves the way for a further refinancing of the remaining term loan; third, the refinancing extends the maturity of approximately $500 million of debt by three years. The Notes may be converted at any time by the holders into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (‘‘Common Stock’’), or any combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company’s election. However, the issuance of Common Stock representing more than 19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock requires stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 312 of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, the Company is seeking stockholder approval of the issuance of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in the event of conversion. Failure to obtain such approval by the one-year anniversary of the issuance date will result in an increase in the coupon on the Notes, if the term loan is still outstanding. Additional detail about these matters is described in the accompanying materials. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote ‘‘FOR’’ approval of this proposal. It is important that you use this opportunity to take part in the affairs of the Company by voting on the business to come before this meeting. WHETHER OR NOT YOU EXPECT TO ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING, PLEASE COMPLETE THE PROXY ELECTRONICALLY OR BY PHONE AS DESCRIBED ON YOUR PROXY CARD AND UNDER ‘‘HOW TO VOTE’’ IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT SO THAT YOUR SHARES MAY BE REPRESENTED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING. IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS PROXY STATEMENT BY MAIL, YOU MAY ALSO VOTE BY COMPLETING, DATING, SIGNING AND PROMPTLY RETURNING THE PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE. Returning or completing the proxy does not deprive you of your right to attend the Special Meeting and to vote your shares. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER TO ATTEND AND BE ABLE TO VOTE AT THE SPECIAL MEETING: All stockholders may vote at the Special Meeting. Stockholders as of the close of business on December 29, 2020, the record date, can attend the Special Meeting by accessing www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GCI2021SM and entering the 16-digit unique control number found on the proxy card or voting instruction form included with the proxy materials. We encourage stockholders to allow sufficient time to log in prior to the start of the Special Meeting. During the Special Meeting, stockholders who have entered their 16-digit unique control number will have the opportunity to vote and ask questions. Stockholders who have not voted their shares prior to the Special Meeting or who wish to change their vote will be able to vote their shares electronically at the Special Meeting while the polls are open.

Evergreen decorations with myriad colored lights were located on all sides. With the opportunity of adding the beautiful Engineering and Research Building to the sites decorated, the Safety Supervisors, who arranged this program, made the Christmas Spirit visible in tasteful brightness. To spread the spirit of Christmas, the Company forwarded some of Maine’s beautiful evergreen trees, for use as Christmas trees, to Mr. Fred Wachs, President, Lexington Herald-Leader; Mr. Edwin Young, General Manager, Providence Journal; and to Mr. Frank Morrison, President, Pittsburgh Press. Practically all Woodlands work sites were closed December 24 and 25 for the holidays. Employees will work the following Saturday to make up time lost on Monday. This action gave the employees a four- day week end which meant a great deal to men whose work keeps them away from home all week.
