(now known as Gannett Media Corp.) (the "Company "), New Media Investment Group Inc. (now known as Gannett Co., Inc.) ("Parent"), Arctic Holdings LLC (now known as Gannett Holdings LLC) and Arctic Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company on November 19, 2019, and each share of Company common stock was converted into the right to receive $6.25 in cash, without interest, and 0.5427 of a share of Parent common stock having a market value of $6.28 per share on the effective date of the merger, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares (collectively, the "Merger Consideration"). Each restricted stock unit represented a contingent right to receive one share of the underlying Common Stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each restricted stock unit was accelerated, and the holder became entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each share of the Company's common stock held as a result of such acceleration. The restricted stock units were fully vested and by their terms they would have settled in shares in connection with the director's departure from the board of directors. By their terms, the restricted stock units were scheduled to vest in four equal quarterly installments beginning on August 1, 2019. Each share of phantom stock was the economic equivalent of one share of the Company's common stock. By their terms, the shares of phantom stock were payable in cash or stock, at the election of the reporting person, on various dates selected by the reporting person or as otherwise provided in the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan. As a result of the merger, and in accordance with the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan, the reporting person became entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of phantom stock. /s/ Elizabeth A.
