Entercom Announces Pricing of $325 Million Offering of Senior Secured Second-Lien Notes

Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) (“Entercom”), a leading media and entertainment company and one of the two largest radio broadcasters in the United States, announced that Entercom Media Corp. (formerly CBS Radio Inc.) (the “Issuer”), its wholly owned subsidiary, has priced $325 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.500% senior secured second-lien notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The sale of the Notes is expected to close on April 30, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. The Issuer expects to use the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand and availability under its revolving credit facility to partially repay existing indebtedness under its senior secured term loan facility.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured second-lien basis by each direct and indirect subsidiary of the Issuer, subject to the terms of the Indenture. The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the guarantors.

The Notes were offered in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes were offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
