Audacy Receives Court Approval of “First Day” Motions

Operations Continue in Ordinary Course

Audacy, Inc., (OTC: AUDA) (the “Company” or “Audacy”) announced today that it has received approval from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (“the Court”) for all first day motions related to its prepackaged Chapter 11 proceedings, which commenced on January 7, 2024.

As part of these motions, the Court today granted Audacy access to $57 million in financing from certain of its existing lenders. This financing is comprised of a new $32 million debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) term loan and a $25 million upsize of the Company’s existing $75 million accounts receivables financing facility to $100 million. The DIP financing, the upsize of the accounts receivables financing facility and the Company's cash from operations and available reserves will enable Audacy to fulfill commitments to employees, advertisers, partners and vendors. The Court also authorized Audacy to continue to pay employee wages, salaries and benefits without interruption and to pay vendors and suppliers.

As previously announced, Audacy entered into a restructuring support agreement (“RSA”) with a supermajority of its debtholders. Under the terms of the RSA, the debtholders committed to vote in favor of a plan of reorganization that, when consummated, will equitize approximately $1.6 billion of funded debt, a reduction of 80% from approximately $1.9 billion to approximately $350 million. The Company does not expect any operational impact from the restructuring, and trade and other unsecured creditors will not be impaired.
