On November 29, 2016, the Board of Directors of Gannett
Co., Inc. (“Gannett”) approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Gannett Co., Inc. 2015 Deferred Compensation
Plan Rules for Post-2004 Deferrals (the “Plan”). The Amendment modifies the Plan to permit directors of Gannett to
elect to defer fees paid in the form of restricted stock units or shares of restricted stock. A director who makes such an election
will receive, in lieu of an award of restricted stock units or shares of restricted stock, a credit equal to the value of the award,
determined at the time of the award. The credit will be deemed invested in units representing Gannett common stock in the separate
Gannett stock fund under the Plan for the duration of the deferral period specified in the Plan. The Amendment became effective
on December 1, 2016.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
