At the start of 2011, Suburban purchased 32.5% of the outstanding 2 million shares of Great Lakes Free Press, Inc., for $1,365 thousand. Great Lakes owned community newspapers in most of the northeastern states. Although the majority of these papers were provided free of charge, they had historically maintained strong revenue streams with their focus on personal interest stories about local individuals and local business advertising primarily from the automotive sector. Exhibit 2 provides details of this acquisition (Part A) and subsequent results (Part B). Great Lakes struggled in 2012 and 2013 with mounting losses and the elimination of its dividend.
Suburban, which reports under US GAAP, has a history of purchasing community news groups from around the country.
