As required by the “Indenture” to the Floating Rate Secured Notes Due 2014 dated March 1, 2010 (the “New Notes”), Morris Publishing Group, LLC (“Morris Publishing”) is required to use its monthly positive operating cash flow, net of permitted cash flow adjustments, (“Excess Free Cash Flow”) to repay any amounts outstanding on its working capital facility, and then to redeem (on a pro rata basis) stated principal amounts outstanding on the New Notes; provided, however, that no payment or redemptions are required if Excess Free Cash Flow is less than $250,000 during the monthly period.

Applying this requirement with respect to Morris Publishing’s monthly period ending March 31, 2012, Morris Publishing redeemed $1,215,249 in aggregate stated principal amount of the New Notes on April 20, 2012, the referenced period’s Excess Cash Flow Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture). On April 18, 2012, Morris Publishing delivered a certificate to the Trustee under the Indenture stating that $1,215,249 of the aggregate stated principal amounts outstanding on the New Notes will be redeemed on the April 20, 2012 Excess Cash Flow Payment Date.
