On February 2, 2021, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due on February 1, 2026 (the “Prior Notes”) under an indenture dated February 2, 2021 (the “Prior Notes Indenture”). Interest on the Prior Notes accrued at the rate of 8.625% per annum and was payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Prior Notes were redeemed in full on January 31, 2026.. On October 8, 2024 (the “Settlement Date”), Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries, completed: (i) the exchange (the “Prior Exchange Offer”) of $194.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes (representing 72.9% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Prior Notes) for (a) $184.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s newly issued 9.200% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due August 1, 2028 (the “Existing Second Lien Notes”) at an exchange ratio of 95.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes tendered for exchange, (b) 179,383 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, based upon pro rata ownership of the Existing Second Lien Notes issued by the Issuer, and (c) certain cash payments aggregating approximately $1.7 million; (ii) the purchase of $68.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes at a purchase price of 62.5% plus accrued and unpaid interest (such offer, the “Tender Offer”); and (iii) the issuance by the Issuer of $30.9 million aggregate principal amount of 11.000% Senior Secured First Lien notes due August 1, 2028 (the “Existing First Lien Notes,” and such offering, the “First Lien Notes Offer”) to holders of Prior Notes or their designees who participated in the Prior Exchange Offer, including to certain backstop commitment parties who committed to purchase the Existing First Lien Notes not otherwise subscribed for. The Company used the proceeds from the First Lien Notes Offer of $30.0 million to fund, in part, the purchase of Prior Notes tendered in the tender offer. Interest on the 11.000% Senior Secured First Lien notes and the 9.200% Senior Secured Second Lien notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. On the Settlement Date, the Issuer entered into (i) a new indenture (the “First Lien Notes Indenture”) governing its Existing First Lien Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by substantially all of the assets, other than certain excluded property, of the Issuer and the guarantors (the “Collateral”) on a senior secured first-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens and (ii) a new indenture (the “Second Lien Notes Indenture”) governing its Existing Second Lien Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by liens on the Collateral on a senior secured second-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens, in each case with the guarantors thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, with respect to both the Second Lien Notes Indenture and First Lien Notes Indenture. On the Settlement Date, the Issuer also entered into a Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, supplementing the Prior Notes Indenture. The First Lien Notes Indenture and the Second Lien Notes Indenture contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of such subsidiaries, preferred stock; pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; create liens; enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; prepay certain kinds of indebtedness; and issue or sell stock of its subsidiaries. As the aggregate undiscounted future principal and interest payments under the Existing Second Lien Notes and Existing First Lien Notes were greater than the net carrying amount of the Prior Notes at the time of the debt restructuring, the carrying amount of the debt was not adjusted, and a new effective interest rate was calculated as the discount rate that equates the present value of the future cash payments specified by the new terms with the carrying amount of the debt. The carrying amount of the debt was reduced by the fair value of the shares of our Class A Common Stock issued to holders of the Prior Notes who participated in the Prior Exchange Offer of $2.2 million. The Company capitalized $2.6 million in fees paid to the lenders in connection with the debt restructuring, consisting of certain cash payments made to holders of Prior Notes who participated in the Prior Exchange Offer and a 3.0% participation premium paid to the holders of Prior Notes who participated in the First Lien Notes Offer. The Company incurred $6.0 million in debt restructuring costs, primarily consisting of legal fees, financial advisory services, and other professional expenses directly related to the debt restructuring, which were expensed. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the Prior Notes for a price equal to 65% of the principal amount and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the repurchase. On November 12, 2025, the Issuer entered into supplemental indentures to the First Lien Notes Indenture and the Second Lien Notes Indenture to, among other things, permit the company to use the net proceeds from the September 2025 sale of substantially all of the assets used in the operations of WPBB-FM in Tampa, FL to a third party for $8.0 million in cash for working capital purposes rather than being required to use such net proceeds to repay the First Lien Notes.
