Listing and Trading Update

As previously disclosed, on May 16, 2023, the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") notified Audacy, Inc. (the "Company") that it had elected to commence proceedings to delist the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "ClassA common stock") from the NYSE pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual ("Section802.01D"). The Company intends to appeal this determination by the NYSE by filing a written request within ten business days after receiving the notice. If the Company is successful in its appeal of the NYSE's decision to commence delisting proceedings pursuant to Section 802.01D, the Class A common stock may resume trading on the NYSE. In the interim, effective May 17, 2023, the Company's Class A common stock began trading over the counter under the symbol "AUDA."

Supplemental Proxy Statement Information

This report is being filed to supplement the information contained in the proxy statement filed by the Company on April 4, 2023 (the "Proxy Statement") in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 24, 2023.

As previously disclosed on pages 8 and 10 of the Proxy Statement under the headings "Proposal 2, Approval of a Reverse Stock Split-Description of Proposal" and "Proposal 2, Approval of a Reverse Stock Split-Description of Proposal-Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with a Reverse Stock Split-The Reverse Stock Split will not decrease our authorized shares," the reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock at the reverse stock split ratio to be determined as described in the Proxy Statement (the "Reverse Stock Split Proposal") will not change the number of authorized shares of our Class A or Class B common stock. These disclosures accurately describe the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and accurately describe the proposed amendment to Article EIGHTH of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (filed as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement), which will effectuate the Reverse Stock Split Proposal if approved by shareholders.

We are providing this supplementary information to correct certain amounts in the table under the heading "Proposal 2, Approval of a Reverse Stock Split-Description of Proposal-Effect of the Reverse Stock Split-Effect on Shares of Our Class A and Class B Common Stock" on page 12 of the Proxy Statement as a result of a typographical error. This error inadvertently reduced the number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock authorized as the split factor of the reverse stock split increased in the column titled "Number of Shares of Common Stock Authorized," which required the amounts in the final column to be recalculated. The other amounts reported in the table and the related footnotes are correct and remain unchanged.

The corrected table is below and replaces the original table on page 12 of the Proxy Statement in its entirety.
