Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Indenture

On February 11, 2010, The McClatchy Company (the “Company”) issued $875 million aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Lazard Capital Markets LLC (the “Initial Purchasers”).

The terms and conditions of the Notes and the Indenture (as defined below) described in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2010, with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as the representative of the Initial Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Company is obligated to use its reasonable efforts to file with the Commission and cause to become effective a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the Notes for notes issued by the Company that are registered with the Commission and have substantially identical terms as the Notes. If the Company is not able to effect the exchange offer, the Company will instead use its reasonable efforts to file and cause to become effective a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Notes. The Company will be required to pay additional interest on the Notes if the exchange offer is not completed, or the shelf registration statement not effective, within 210 days after the issue date of the Notes.

A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

In connection with the Notes Offering (as defined below), the Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2010, among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Credit Agreement entered into as of June 27, 2006, among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Banc of America Securities LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers (as amended prior to the Notes Offering, the “Original Credit Agreement”).

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, certain lenders have extended the maturities of their term loans and the termination date for their revolving commitments to July 1, 2013 (such lenders, the “extending lenders”). The lenders who did not so extend have the maturity date for their term loans and the termination date for their revolving credit commitments remaining at June 27, 2011 (such lenders, the “non-extending lenders”). Upon the issuance of the Notes, the Company repaid term loans held by extending lenders by 60% and reduced the revolving credit commitments of extending lenders by 60%. After such initial required prepayment, the payment of consideration in the tender offers for the Company’s 15.75% Senior Notes due July 15, 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) and the 7.125% Notes due June 1, 2011 (the “2011 Notes”), amounts to be set aside for future payments on the 2011 Notes that are not tendered and accepted in the Company’s tender offer for the 2011 Notes commenced in January 2010 and the payment of fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Notes Offering, the Company’s tender offers for the 2011 Notes and the 2014 Notes commenced in January 2010 and the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement, 50% of any remaining proceeds from the Notes Offering

2

must be used to repay, pro rata, term loans and revolving loans made by extending lenders with such repayment of revolving loans to be accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the revolving credit commitments of extending lenders, and the other 50% of the remaining proceeds shall be used to repay revolving loans made by all lenders (with no corresponding commitment reduction).

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as of July 11, 2010 there are $262.0 million of term loans outstanding and $249.3 million in revolving credit commitments, including a $100 million letter of credit sub-facility. The commitments under the revolving credit facility reflect reductions as of February 11, 2010 as set forth in the previous paragraph. In addition, the commitments of the non-extending lenders under the revolving credit facility will be reduced by their pro rata percentage of $5.0 million on each of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the entire principal amount of the term loans of the extending lenders, or $189.6 million, will mature on July 1, 2013 and the entire principal amount of the term loans of the non-extending lenders, or $72.3 million, will mature on June 27, 2011. Without giving effect to any potential future reductions in the lenders’ revolving credit commitments described above, the revolving credit commitments of non-extending lenders in the amount of $42.2 million will terminate on June 27, 2011, which was the expiration date of the revolving credit facility under the Original Credit Agreement and the remaining revolving credit commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in the amount of $207.1 million will terminate on July 1, 2013.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also requires the Company to prepay loans with the net cash proceeds received from (i) the sale of certain real property of the Company located in Miami, Florida, (ii) the disposition of any other assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and (iii) the issuance by the Company or its subsidiaries of equity interests or indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is also required to repay loans with its excess cash flow, which is measured on an annual basis.

The Company’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Company’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in certain assets of the Company and the guarantors, which includes intangible assets, inventory, receivables and certain minority investments, but excludes any land, buildings, machinery and equipment (“PPE”), and any leasehold interests and improvements with respect to such PPE that would be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of Company and its subsidiaries, shares of stock of any Subsidiary of the Company and any indebtedness owed to the Company or any guarantor by a subsidiary of the Company.

Loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the London Interbank Offered Rate (but not lower than 3.0%) plus a spread ranging from 425 basis points to 575 basis points, or at a base rate plus a spread ranging from 325 basis points to 475 basis points, in each case based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a commitment fee payable on the unused revolving credit ranging from 50 basis points to 75 basis points, based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries, including delivery of financial statements and certain other certificates and notices, payment of liabilities and obligations, maintenance of existence, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of properties and compliance with laws. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains negative covenants restricting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, grant liens, incur indebtedness, dispose of assets, make restricted payments, engage in transactions with affiliates and make investments, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

The financial covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement require the Company to comply with a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, each measured quarterly. The Company is required to maintain a consolidated total leverage ratio of

3

not more than 7.00 to 1, which ratio will decrease to 6.0 to 1 over the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company is also required to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 2.3 to 1, which ratio will decrease to 1.7 to 1 over the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including the failure to pay principal when due or interest within three business days after the date due, failure to comply with covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and related loan documents (subject to grace periods in certain instances), breach of representations and warranties, cross defaults with certain indebtedness, insolvency or bankruptcy events involving the Company, any guarantor or any material subsidiary of the Company, judgment defaults, the occurrence of certain ERISA events, and a change of control of the Company. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, the lenders may terminate their revolving credit commitments, require cash collateralization or similar arrangements for outstanding letters of credit and declare all amounts under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and related loan documents immediately due and payable. The revolving credit commitments shall automatically terminate, and all amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall automatically become immediately due and payable, upon the occurrence of an event of default arising from insolvency or bankruptcy events involving the Company, any guarantor, any material subsidiary of the Company or three or more subsidiaries that are not material subsidiaries.

A copy of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement.
