Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 28, 2008, Gannett Satellite Information Network, Inc. and Cape Publications, Inc., each an affiliate of Gannett Co., Inc., entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Tribune National Marketing Company and Tribune Media Net, Inc., affiliates of Tribune Company, pursuant to which Gannett purchased an additional 10% Class A Membership Interest in CareerBuilder, LLC, operator of the CareerBuilder.com website, for a purchase price of $135 million. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement occurred on September 2, 2008. The acquisition was an all cash transaction and increased Gannett’s Class A Membership Interest in CareerBuilder, LLC from 40.80% to 50.80%.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, revisions to the operating agreement of CareerBuilder, LLC were made to reflect Gannett’s increased equity stake and other terms of the transaction. Gannett now has the ability to appoint three of the six directors to the CareerBuilder, LLC Board of Directors, including the Chairman, who has the right to break a deadlock vote of the Board of Directors.

As a result of the acquisition, the financial statements of CareerBuilder will be consolidated into Gannett’s financial statements, along with an entry for a minority interest.

The Purchase Agreement relating to the matters discussed above is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference. This summary description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached Purchase Agreement.
