Other Events.

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 April 30, 2012, Morris Publishing redeemed $2,491,322 in aggregate stated principal amount of the New Notes on May 23, 2012, the referenced period’s Excess Cash Flow Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture). On May 21, 2012, Morris Publishing delivered a certificate to the Trustee under the Indenture stating that $2,491,322 of the aggregate stated principal amounts outstanding on the New Notes will be redeemed on the May 23, 2012 Excess Cash Flow Payment Date.

On May 14, 2012, through its broker, Morris Publishing acquired $2,200,000 face amount of the Notes with a settlement date of May 17, 2012. Pursuant to Morris Publishing’s request pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Indenture relating to the New Notes, these New Notes in the aggregate stated principal amount of $3,000,000 were cancelled.

After giving effect to both (i) the cancellation of $3,000,000 face amount of New Notes acquired in May 2012, and (ii) the redemption of the New Notes on the May 23, 2012 Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes outstanding is $57,231,110.
