Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 27, 2023, Audacy, Inc. (the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") to the Company's Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"), dated July 15, 2021, among Audacy Operations, Inc., Audacy Receivables, LLC, the investors party thereto, and DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt AM Main.

The Amendment, among other things, reduces the minimum liquidity the Company is required to maintain to $25 million and aligns the Company's obligations to deliver audited annual financial statements under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to its obligations to deliver such financial statements under the existing Credit Agreement, dated October 17, 2016, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2022, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that the Company was not in compliance with Rule 802.01C of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual relating to the minimum average closing price of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "common stock") required over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.

The Company has considered available alternatives, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to shareholder approval no later than at the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders, if necessary, to regain compliance. Under the NYSE's rules, if the Company determines that it will regain compliance by taking an action that will require shareholder approval at its next annual meeting of shareholders, the minimum price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days.

Subject to receipt of shareholder approval at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 24, 2023, the Company intends to implement a reverse stock split of its common stock, effective after the annual meeting, to regain compliance.




Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company has determined that the annual meeting of shareholders will be held on Wednesday, May 24, 2023. The record date for the annual meeting is Friday, March 17, 2023. Further details regarding the annual meeting, including how to participate, will be included in the Company's Proxy Statement and Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be made available to shareholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
