Transaction Support Agreement and Exchange Offer

 

On March 20, 2026, the Company and Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a transaction support agreement (the “Transaction Support Agreement”) with certain holders of the Existing Notes (the “Supporting Holders”) representing a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Existing First Lien Notes and a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Existing Second Lien Notes. The Transaction Support Agreement provides for support of certain refinancing transactions (the “Refinancing Transactions”), to be undertaken by the following: (i) an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange any and all of the Existing Second Lien Notes for newly issued 10.000% Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Notes due 2027 (“2027 PIK Notes”) at an exchange ratio of 50.0% of the aggregate principal amount (or $500 per $1,000 of principal amount) of the Existing Second Lien Notes tendered for exchange, to be issued subsequent to the issuance of this Annual Report, (ii) an offer to purchase (the “Tender Offer” and, together with the Exchange Offer, the “Offers”) up to $15.9 million of the Existing First Lien Notes for purchase at a price equal to 100% of the par value thereof and (iii) related consent solicitations (the “Consent Solicitations”) to proposed amendments to the existing indentures governing the Existing Notes (the “Existing Indentures”) to, among other things, (x) adopt certain proposed amendments to the Existing Indentures and (y) release all of

the Collateral securing the Existing Second Lien Notes. The Refinancing Transactions are expected to be consummated on the terms set forth in an offering memorandum and solicitation statement provided to holders of the Existing Notes.

 

Pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, the Supporting Holders have agreed to, among other things, (i) tender all of their Existing Notes in the Offers and (ii) provide their related consents under the Consent Solicitations. The Supporting Holders’ obligations under the Transaction Support Agreement are conditioned upon holders holding 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Second Lien Notes tendering their Existing Second Lien Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer and providing their consents to the Consent Solicitations (the “Minimum Participation Condition”), as well as certain other customary conditions. The Initial Supporting Holders (as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) may waive the Minimum Participation Condition in their sole and absolute discretion. Satisfaction of the Minimum Participation Condition may not be known until the expiration date of the Exchange Offer, which is currently expected to be on April 16, 2026.

 

In connection with the Company’s and the Issuer’s entry into the Transaction Support Agreement, on March 20, 2026, the Issuer commenced the Refinancing Transactions. On March 26, 2026, the early first lien tender date, holders of the Existing First Lien Notes had validly tendered $30.9 million aggregate principal amount of Existing First Lien Notes in the Tender Offer, and the Issuer accordingly accepted $15.9 million of such tenders in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer. On March 30, 2026, the Issuer completed the purchase of $15.9 million aggregate principal amount of Existing First Lien Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer, and $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of Existing First Lien Notes remain outstanding as of such date. As of the date of this filing, approximately 97% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Second Lien Notes have validly tendered in the Exchange Offer and provided consents to the proposed amendments to the Existing Second Lien Notes Indenture. Assuming the requisite conditions for consummation of the Refinancing Transactions are satisfied, the Company expects the Refinancing Transactions to settle on or around April 20, 2026.

 

The Transaction Support Agreement includes representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions customary for agreements of this type. Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement, at the closing of the Offers, the Company will appoint an independent director selected by the Initial Supporting Holders as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Transaction Support Agreement also grants the Initial Supporting Holders the right, commencing 270 days after closing of the Offers, to propose three candidates for an additional independent director to be selected and appointed by the Company, and to participate in the formation of a strategic alternatives committee of the Board of Directors, in each case subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the Transaction Support Agreement. In addition, the Transaction Support Agreement provides that certain actions, including any insolvency proceeding or bankruptcy filing of the Company, must be authorized by the independent director appointed pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement. The Transaction Support Agreement will, among other circumstances, terminate upon the earlier of: (a) mutual written consent of the Company and the Supporting Holders, (b) on the settlement date of the Offers or (c) on May 15, 2026, if the Refinancing Transactions have not yet been consummated.

 

The 2027 PIK Notes will mature on December 31, 2027, subject to a springing maturity condition. Pursuant to the springing maturity condition, if (i) on or before September 30, 2027 the Company and its subsidiaries have not entered into one or more binding agreements for asset sales or debt or equity financings that the Company reasonably determines would yield proceeds, once consummated, that would be sufficient to redeem all of the 2027 PIK Notes and any Existing First Lien Notes outstanding as of September 30, 2027, the remaining Existing First Lien Notes and the 2027 PIK Notes will mature on such date or (ii) an event of default with respect to a breach of the governance covenants set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement has occurred, the 2027 PIK Notes will mature on the date such event of default occurred.

 

The indenture governing the 2027 PIK Notes will include an equity conversion feature. Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 PIK Notes then outstanding may elect to convert all outstanding 2027 PIK Notes into shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock on or after December 31, 2027 (or, if the springing maturity condition has occurred, the date on which the springing maturity condition occurs). If such election is made, the holders would receive shares representing, in the aggregate, up to 95% of the issued and outstanding Class A common Stock and Class B common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, subject to reduction based on the amount of cash payments made to holders in respect of principal of the 2027 PIK Notes prior to the conversion date. The equity conversion is subject to obtaining prior approval of the FCC and compliance with applicable FCC foreign ownership rules.

 

Pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement and the Refinancing Transactions, the Company expects to enter into an asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) pursuant to a credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with a principal amount of up to $35.0 million. The ABL Credit Agreement is expected to permit the borrowers thereunder to request increases in the revolving commitments under the ABL Credit Facility from time to time, subject to a cap and customary conditions. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are expected to bear interest, at the borrowers’ option, at term SOFR or base rate, plus, in each case, an interest rate spread to be agreed. The ABL Credit Facility is expected to mature three years from the closing date thereof. The ABL

Credit Facility is expected to be secured by a first-priority lien on accounts receivable and related assets of the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries and a third-priority lien on certain other assets of the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries. The obligations of the borrowers under the ABL Credit Agreement are expected to be guaranteed by the guarantors of the Existing Notes. The ABL Credit Agreement is expected to include, among other things, certain customary conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, customary affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default. The ABL Credit Agreement is expected to provide that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the revolving commitments may be terminated, and all outstanding obligations under the ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. There are no assurances that the ABL Credit Agreement will be entered into on the terms set forth above or at all.
 

On February 2, 2026, the Issuer elected to utilize the 30-day grace period for the interest payments due on Sunday, February 1, 2026 (and payable on Monday, February 2, 2026, the next succeeding business day) (i) in the amount of approximately $8.5 million under the Second Lien Notes pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Notes Indenture and (ii) in the amount of approximately $1.7 million under the First Lien Notes pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Notes Indenture. On March 2, 2026, the Issuer deposited funds with the trustee for the First Lien Notes for payment in full of all defaulted interest pursuant to the First Lien Notes Indenture. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer, eligible holders who participate in the Exchange Offer are entitled to receive additional 2027 PIK Notes for all accrued and unpaid interest, including the defaulted interest, at an exchange ratio of 50.0%.
