Business Wire
As previously announced on June 6, 2023, Audacy, Inc. (NYSE:
AUD; OTC: AUDA) (the “Company” or “Audacy”) effected
a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A and Class B
common stock on June 30, 2023. The Company's Class A common stock
will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of the
market on June 30, 2023, under a new CUSIP number, 05070N 202. At
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 24, 2023, the
Company’s shareholders approved a reverse stock split of the
Company's outstanding Class A and Class B common stock at a ratio
within a range between 1-for-two and 1-for-30, as determined by a
committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors. This
committee established the ratio on June 5, 2023, as has been
previously reported.
The 1-for-30 reverse stock split reduced the number of
outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock from
approximately 137.5 million shares (excluding unvested restricted
stock) to approximately 4.6 million shares (excluding unvested
restricted stock) and reduced the number of outstanding shares of
the Company’s Class B common stock from approximately 4.0 million
shares to approximately 135 thousand shares. Proportional
adjustments were made to the number of shares of Audacy’s Class A
common stock subject to outstanding equity awards, as well as to
the applicable exercise prices.
Information for Audacy Shareholders
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, Audacy
shareholders received one share of Company Class A or Class B
common stock for every 30 shares of Class A or Class B common stock
held, as applicable. Record holders of Class A or Class B common
stock will receive a transaction statement with respect to the
exchange of such shares for post-reverse split shares. American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the transfer agent for the
Company’s common stock, will act as the exchange agent and may be
contacted at (877) 248-6417. No stock certificates will be issued
to reflect the reverse stock split.
Audacy did not issue fractional shares in connection with the
reverse stock split. Instead, any shareholders of Class A or Class
B common stock who would have been entitled to receive fractional
shares as a result of the reverse stock split will instead receive
cash payments in lieu of such fractional shares.
In connection with the reverse stock split, there was no change
to the total number of authorized shares of Company Class A or
Class B common stock as set forth in the Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation of the Company.
