| All fund families are opposed to anti-takeover measures, such as poison pills, dual-class stock, supermajority voting and staggered boards. Fitch believes that family or trust-owned enterprises with dual-class stock structures are better positioned to take a longer-term view of the risks and opportunities in the newspaper space and to weather near-term turbulence in the stock markets, thereby better insulating them from shareholder activist-driven event risk. These concerns are balanced somewhat by the company's conservative culture, solid track record, favorable cash flow generating characteristics, strong margins relative to industry peers, geographic diversity in smaller growth markets, dual-class stock structure, adequate liquidity, and its collection of online properties. |
