Audacy Announces 1-for-30 Reverse Stock Split
Audacy announces that it is effecting a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its Class A and Class B common stock today (6/30). Audacy’s Class A common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of the market today, under a new CUSIP number, 05070N 202. At the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 24, Audacy’s shareholders approved a reverse stock split of the company’s outstanding Class A and Class B common stock at a ratio within a range between 1-for-two and 1-for-30, as determined by a committee appointed by the company’s board of directors. This committee established the ratio on June 5. The 1-for-30 reverse stock split reduced the number of outstanding shares of the company’s Class A common stock from approximately 137.5 million shares (excluding unvested restricted stock) to approximately 4.6 million shares (excluding unvested restricted stock) and reduced the number of outstanding shares of the company’s Class B common stock from approximately 4.0 million shares to approximately 135 thousand shares. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Audacy’s Class A common stock subject to outstanding equity awards, as well as to the applicable exercise prices. Trading of Audacy’s Class A common stock was halted on May 5 on the New York Stock Exchange after the share price fell about 12% to $0.09 per share. The NYSE is moving to delist the stock but Audacy is currently appealing that determination.
