Here’s one post pulling together documents in the Arizona attorney general’s anti-trust lawsuit and request for a temporary restraining order involving the Tucson Citizen:
- The Complaint: http://is.gd/AvYT
- Memo Supporting TRO Request: http://is.gd/AvZC
- Motion for TRO: http://is.gd/Aw0k
- News Release http://is.gd/Aw0U
- Exhibit A: memo provided to potential buyers on assets, staffing, competition, etc.
- Exhibit B: original JOA agreement. Not much interesting here.
- Exhibits C-F: includes depositions in anti-trust investigation and TNI operating statements. Daniel S. Ehrman Jr., Gannett VP planning & development, says Carl G. Schmidt, Lee’s VP and CFO, suggested closing Citizen in May or June 2008. Also, parties discussed one partner acquiring greater ownership stake in TNI but nothing came of it. Schmidt says Gannett wasn’t interested in buying Lee’s share of TNI.
- Exhibits G-L: post-JOA agreement letter, rejected buyer’s affidavit.
