DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Gannett Co., Inc. completed its previously announced acquisition of ReachLocal, Inc. (the “Registrant”) on August 9, 2016.  Consequently, the Registrant no longer sponsors the ReachLocal, Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to deregister any and all securities that were registered pursuant to Registration Statement No. 333-187186 (the “Registration Statement”) and that remain unsold under the 2008 Plan.  The Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 12, 2013 in order to register an additional 1,266,925 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Registrant for sale under the 2008 Plan.

The Registrant has terminated any offering of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.  In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Registrant registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
