On January 30, 2009, Gannett Co., Inc. reported its preliminary consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 28, 2008. A copy of this press release is furnished with this report as an exhibit.

The preliminary results, however, do not include non-cash charges to be recorded in the quarter, which have not yet been finalized, for the impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets and certain other assets. The non-cash charges are expected to total in the range of $5.1 billion to $5.9 billion on a pre-tax basis and $4.5 billion to $5.2 billion on an after-tax basis. Earnings per share will be reduced in the quarter due to the charges but the charges will not impact the company’s operating cash flow.
