Junck, Herbert W. Maloney III, and Kevin D. Mowbray &#8211;and to REJECT Alden Global Capital (&#8220;Alden&#8221;)&#8217;s &#8220;vote no&#8221; campaign on the BLUE proxy card it is circulating.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Through its subsidiary Strategic Investment Opportunities LLC, Alden has reached out to shareholders to encourage them to vote against Directors Junck and Maloney. The NewsGuild-CWA encourages shareholders to disregard the Alden filings and mailings. Alden is embarrassed by the slam dunk ruling against it on February 14, 2022, by the Delaware Chancery Court when it attempted to circumvent clearly stated rules in our Company&#8217;s bylaws. This newsroom-destroying hedge fund pretends that it is pushing for better corporate governance, greater corporate transparency, and better options for Lee shareholders. This could not be further from the truth: Alden has a long history of controversial practices. In our opinion, Alden has done more to damage the news industry and undermine our democracy in the last decade than any other force while handsomely lining its pockets.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">We are The NewsGuild&#8211;Communications Workers of America, and we represent more journalists and media workers than any other union in North America, including employees at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Buffalo News, Omaha World-Herald, Roanoke Times, and six other newsrooms at Lee Enterprises. For over 80 years, we have held power to account and fought for journalists, press freedom, and our democracy.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Our members stand for journalism and organizations that create quality, fact-based journalism, which is vital for political accountability and democratic governance at all levels. That gives us one reason to oppose actions by Alden, since they have demonstrated time and again a consistent policy of profiting from liquidating rather than building news publishers. We are also shareholders who seek maximum value from our investment.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">company&#8217;s bylaws. The court&#8217;s decision was clear &#8211; Alden was incompetent to the extent that it had 22 months to comply with requirements, the requirements were known by Alden and &#8220;could have been complied with had it not delayed.&#8221;</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">1</FONT></SUP></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">The court&#8217;s clear decision suggests three conclusions. First, Alden&#8217;s problems in attempting to run candidates should have been foreseen. Alden bought into our Company 206 days after the bylaws had been amended. If it had done its due diligence, it would have known about the necessity to be a shareholder of record to run candidates for the board of directors. Then 658 days (94 weeks) passed between its purchase of a stake in our Company and the November 26, 2021, deadline for director nominations at our upcoming annual meeting of shareholders. As the court filing makes clear, Alden&#8217;s &#8220;own delay is what ultimately prevented it from satisfying the Bylaws&#8217; record holder (and, by extension, form) requirements.&#8221;</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">2</FONT></SUP></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Secondly, Alden clearly seems to believe that it should be exempted from following the rules that apply to all other shareholders. Alden attempted to nominate board candidates without being a shareholder of record: instead, it asked the record holder &#8211; Cede &amp; Co. &#8211; to attest to Alden&#8217;s beneficial ownership. It appears that Cede never even received Alden&#8217;s nomination notice. Alden wanted Cede to reference the nomination notice which Alden would send separately. Therefore, Cede sent Lee a letter that refers to Alden&#8217;s nomination notice, and Alden sent its notice separately.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">3 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Our Company, of course, saw through this charade: the shareholder of record did not nominate the two candidates. Indeed, as we learned from the court decision, Cede never knew the names of Alden&#8217;s nominees! </FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">4</FONT></SUP></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Another instance of not playing by the rules was the questionnaire that Lee requires be completed as to board nominees. Alden sent its own completed questionnaire in lieu of Lee&#8217;s questionnaire and then expected it to be accepted. Alden claimed that it was &#8220;substantially similar in scope to the forms of written questionnaires provided by a company&#8217;s secretary in like situations.&#8221;</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">5 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">This is chutzpah at its most extreme: without seeing Lee&#8217;s questionnaire, it fashioned its own and expected our Company to accept it.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Third, Alden&#8217;s penchant for secrecy precluded Lee from giving Alden any benefit of the doubt. Alden&#8217;s mistakes referenced above were compounded by a failure to communicate effectively with Lee. In May 2021, when our Company queried Alden about discrepancies between its 13D filing (required of owners with more than a 5% share of the company) and 13F filing (required of investment managers), Alden declined to respond. The answer would, it appears, have been simple: Alden became a family fund in March 2021 and did not need to disclose its holdings in Lee. Why Alden refused to divulge this fact and maintain secrecy about its ownership is a mystery.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Alden argues that both Ms. Junck and Mr. Maloney have had long tenures at Lee, implying they were overly long. With tenure, however, comes experience and knowledge of the company. Ms. Junck and Mr. Maloney have driven the board&#8217;s efforts to expand the company and move aggressively into digital production. As our Company notes in its filing, &#8220;The removal of Ms. Junck and Mr. Maloney would wipe out decades of collective experience leading public companies from our Board.&#8221;</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">6</FONT></SUP></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT color=#365f91 size=4 face="CIDFont+F3,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Alden Sheds Crocodile Tears about Corporate Governance</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Alden has also objected to Lee&#8217;s corporate governance practices. Alden makes four main claims. First, it argues that the company&#8217;s bylaw change in June 2019 puts an &#8220;unreasonable barrier on shareholders.&#8221;</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">7 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Second, it opines that Ms. Junck and Mr. Maloney should not have been renominated because of their age. Third, it objects to Lee&#8217;s adoption of a plurality voting standard for this year&#8217;s director elections. Fourth, Alden makes a sweeping statement that Lee&#8217;s corporate governance is deficient &#8211; avoiding &#8220;accountability to stockholders in the election of directors.&#8221;</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">8</FONT></SUP></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">In our view, none of these criticisms hold up. First, the requirement that only shareholders of record can nominate directors for election is certainly not unique among public companies. The only way for a company to know for sure if a nomination comes from a bona-fide shareholder is if that shareholder is on the company&#8217;s list. As the Delaware court stated:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Under Delaware law, corporations are entitled to &#8220;rely upon record ownership, not beneficial ownership, in determining who is entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders.&#8221; The reason for that is simple: the corporation wants to confirm that an individual or entity making proposals has &#8220;skin in the game.&#8221; Reliance on record ownership ensures order and gives the corporation certainty that the party attempting to take action based on a right incidental to share ownership is, in fact, a stockholder.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">9</FONT></SUP></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Alden knew or should have known of this requirement well in advance.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">With respect to the Junck and Moloney nominations, Alden asserts that this decision was made in &#8220;apparent contravention of the Issuer&#8217;s own director retirement policy set forth in its Corporate Governance Guidelines.&#8221;</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">10 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">However, Alden&#8217;s objection is addressed in the guidelines themselves: &#8220;No director may be nominated to a new term if he or she would be age 70 or older at the time of the election, unless the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines that extraordinary</FONT></P>

<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">A similar response applies to Alden&#146;s protest at Lee&#146;s adopting a plurality standard for this year&#146;s director elections. It was in fact Alden&#146;s own decision to announce a proxy solicitation in December 2021 that spurred Lee&#146;s board to change the voting standard, and appropriately so. Until the court decision on February 14, 2022, Lee could conceive of a situation in which two candidates would be vying for the same seat. A majority standard is unworkable under such circumstances, as the company could reach a position whereby no one was elected. By the time of the court decision, reversing the voting standard would have adversely affected shareholders who had already voted. Alden sued Lee over the voting standard but again lost at the Delaware Chancery Court.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">12</FONT></SUP></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Finally, with respect to corporate governance and director accountability, we believe that Alden&#146;s many self-serving decisions at the expense of minority shareholders and fellow shareholders should give any Lee shareholder pause to consider whether Alden is more accountable than Lee&#146;s incumbent board. For instance, in 2020, Alden directors at Tribune Publishing failed to promptly notify shareholders (within the requisite ten days) of Alden's offer to buy the company and instead used this extra time to coordinate with a potential investor. Solus Alternative Asset Management, a minority investor in MNG Enterprises, sued Alden in 2018 for withholding critical information in significant transactions.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">13 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Alden was sued by shareholders at Payless Shoesource in 2019 for engaging in transactions with Alden affiliates while it controlled the board and owned a majority of the stock.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">14 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Shareholders at Payless and Fred&#146;s Inc. complained in 2019 about the apparent conflict of interest when Alden moved both headquarters to an office building in Dallas owned by Alden&#146;s founder and Chief Investment Officer.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">15 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">While the lawsuits have been settled, the similarity of the concerns is troubling.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Alden&#146;s self-serving actions extended to the handling of MediaNews Group pension funds. At the end of 2015, Alden had invested almost 90% of the assets of the San Jose Mercury News pension fund in just two of its own investment funds.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">16 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">The Department of Labor investigated Alden&#146;s handling of pension funds and forced corrective action.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">17 </FONT></SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Given the underperformance of these Alden assets, as recorded in 550 forms filed with the IRS, The NewsGuild estimates that the San Jose pension fund lost between &#36;6.0 and &#36;17.5 million due to its investments in Alden funds.</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">18</FONT></SUP></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">These actions with minority shareholder, fellow shareholders, or pension plan participants do not seem to us to be consistent with Alden&#146;s claims that it is committed to good corporate governance.</FONT></P>

<FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">The NewsGuild-CWA knows Alden. We have bargaining units at 24 MediaNews Group newsrooms and 13 Tribune newsrooms. We have monitored Alden&#146;s behavior. We believe that Alden Global Capital has done more harm to the news industry than any single factor, including the online platforms. Within a few years of acquiring a news organization, Alden quickly hollows it out, taking a liquidation approach of selling off historic offices, shutting down printing plants and slashing staff, while hiking subscription prices. Each of these steps reduces the access to important information, and takes money and jobs out of our community. As the Vanity Fair correspondent Joe Pompeo remarked Alden is indeed &#147;the grim reaper of American newspapers.&#148;</FONT><SUP><FONT size=2 face="CIDFont+F2,Times New Roman,Times,serif">27</FONT></SUP></P>
