The Gannett Media Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan (formerly Gannett Co., Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan) (the “Savings Plan”) has terminated the option to invest in a fund consisting primarily of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Gannett Co., Inc. (the “Company”), and the shares held in such fund under the Savings Plan were liquidated. Accordingly, the Company is no longer issuing securities under the Savings Plan and no further investments in the Company’s securities may be made under the Savings Plan. The Company filed a post-effective amendment on Form S-8 to Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister all shares of its common stock and plan interests that remained unissued and unsold under the Savings Plan. Therefore, this Form 15 has been filed to suspend the duty of the Savings Plan to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including on Form 11-K.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Savings Plan has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
