New Media Investment chair and CEO Michael Reed told The Post he’s not concerned the stock has fallen by almost 25 percent since signing a deal to buy USA Today-owner Gannett.

“Stock price is not an issue,” he said, while walking out of a meeting at the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan with current and potential investors.

The well over six-foot tall Reed said that because the merger with Gannett is partially a stock transfer, the price of the shares are not important.

“This will get done,” he said of the merger.

Of course, the falling stock also means the value of the deal has also fallen, to $1.2 billion from $1.4 billion. And that means less money for Gannett, the seller.

New Media is forking over $6.25 per share in cash — plus each Gannett share gets 0.5427 of New Media stock.

New Media’s shareholders and Gannett’s both have to approve the deal. New Media shareholder Omega Advisors owns a 9.9 percent stake and will only vote for the deal if New Media’s stock price stays above $8, The Post previously reported.

Private equity firm Alden Capital, which said last week that it opposes the merger, also had reps at the St. Regis meeting, sources said. Alden chief Heath Freeman did not return a call.

New Media’s shares rose Wednesday 2.6 percent to $8.14.
