FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this release may be forward looking in nature or constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the proposed acquisition of ReachLocal, the expected timetable for completing or ability to complete the acquisition and the benefits of the acquisition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can typically be identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "estimate," "predict," "target," "potential," "likely," "continue," "ongoing," "could," "should," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "seek," "anticipate," "project" and similar expressions, as well as variations or negatives of these words. Any such statements speak only as of the date the statements were made and are not guarantees of future performance. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, trends, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, economic conditions affecting the newspaper publishing business, uncertainties as to how many ReachLocal shareholders will tender their shares pursuant to the tender offer, the risk that competing offers will be made, the risk that shareholder litigation in connection with the acquisition may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability, and Gannett's ability to successfully integrate ReachLocal's operations and employees with Gannett's existing business. In addition, actual results are subject to other risks and uncertainties that relate more broadly to Gannett and ReachLocal's overall businesses, including those more fully described in Gannett's filings with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2015 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 27, 2016, and those more fully described in ReachLocal's filings with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

You should not unduly rely on forward-looking statements because actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statement applies only as of the date on which it is made. We do not plan to, and undertake no obligation to, update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
