Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 14, 2009, The McClatchy Company ("McClatchy" or the "Company") received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that it is not in compliance with the exchange's continued listing standard for total market capitalization and stockholders' equity. NYSE continued listing standards applicable to the company include average market capitalization of no less than $75 million over a 30 trading-day period and stockholders' equity of no less than $75 million.

The Company is now considered below the criteria for the continued listing standards because as of April 8, 2009, its total market capitalization was less than the minimum of $75 million over a consecutive 30-trading-day period and its last reported stockholders' equity on its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was $52.4 million, also less than $75 million.

In accordance with NYSE procedures, McClatchy has 45 days from the receipt of the notice to submit a plan to the NYSE demonstrating how it intends to comply with the NYSE's continued listing standards within 18 months from the receipt of the notice. McClatchy intends to develop a plan to bring the company in compliance with the listing standards within the required timeframe.

McClatchy previously announced in February 2009 that it had been notified by the NYSE that it is not in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standard for the average price per share of the company's Class A publicly traded common shares of less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30-trading-day period. Subsequently, the NYSE announced that this standard was temporarily suspended through June 30, 2009 and McClatchy has until at least December 7, 2009 to bring the Company into compliance with the average trading price listing standard. In the event the NYSE further extends its suspension of this standard, the Company expects that its compliance deadline would also be extended.

The Company's Class A Common Stock remains listed on the NYSE under the symbol "MNI," but have assigned a ".BC" indicator by the NYSE so as to signify that the Company is not currently in compliance with the NYSE's continued quantitative listing standards.

Although the Company intends to return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirements, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
