Pursuant to the policies of BA Capital and its affiliates, Mr. Sheridan is deemed to hold the options and restricted shares described above for the benefit of BA Capital. BA Capital may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such shares, and they are included in the shares reported as beneficially owned by BA Capital.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     (a)(i) This Amendment No. 11 relates to 7,527,457 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, representing 18.2% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and 15.7% of the voting power (which percentages are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)). BA Capital currently holds 843,584 shares of Class A Common Stock, 849,275 shares of Class B Common Stock and options to purchase 11,782 shares of Class A Common Stock, 5,891 of which are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. In addition, Mr. Sheridan holds, for the benefit of BA Capital, 26,976 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock and options to purchase 40,493 shares of Class A Common Stock, 20,247 of which are currently exercisable within 60 days. BA Capital beneficially owns 1,745,973 shares, or 4.8%, of the Class A Common Stock (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)). BACI currently holds 821,568 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,959,916 shares of Class B Common Stock. BACI beneficially owns 5,781,484 shares, or 14.3%, of the Class A Common Stock (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)). No other Reporting Person directly holds any Common Stock of the Company or any rights to acquire any such common stock.
     Except as may otherwise be required by Delaware corporate law, shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common stock vote together as a single class when such shares are entitled to vote. Shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Shares of Class C Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share, shares of Class C Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share and shares of Class B Common Stock have no voting rights except in specified instances required by Delaware corporate law or by the Company’s articles of incorporation. Upon conversion of any share of Class B Common Stock into a share of Class C Common Stock by certain shareholders of the Company (including BA Capital), shares of Class C Common Stock become entitled to one vote per share, rather than ten votes per share.
     The 843,584 shares of Class A Common Stock currently held by BA Capital and the 821,568 shares of Class A Common Stock currently held by BACI represent 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. If (1) BA Capital were to (A) convert its 849,275 shares of Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock and (B) exercise its options to purchase 5,891 shares, which are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, of Class A Common Stock, (2) the options to purchase 20,247 shares, which are currently exercisable or exercisable with 60 days, issued to Mr. Sheridan were exercised, and (3) BACI were to convert its 4,959,916 shares of Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock, then BA Capital and BACI would together beneficially own 7,527,457 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing 18.2% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and 15.7% of the voting power.
     The 7,527,457 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by BA Capital and BACI represent 17.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock considered in the aggregate and 15.7% of the voting power (or, if the Class C Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, 17.9% of the voting power).
     As a result of the Voting Agreement described in Item 6 herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, with other persons who own shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and are parties to voting or similar agreements with the Company or the Sellers concerning the Exchange, as described in Item 6 herein. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any such shares.
     Other than as set forth above with respect to the Reporting Persons, none of the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock reported in this Item 5 are shares as to which any Reporting Person has

13


Table of Contents

a right to acquire that is exercisable within 60 days. None of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock other than as set forth herein.
     (ii) All information herein relating to the currently outstanding number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock is derived from the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons have assumed for purposes of this Amendment No. 11 that there are 35,576,293 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, 5,809,191 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and 644,871 shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding, or a total of 42,030,355 shares of all classes of Common Stock outstanding.
     (b) BA Capital has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 1,745,973 shares of Class A Common Stock, which consists of 870,560 shares of Class A Common Stock, including the 26,976 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock held by Mr. Sheridan for the benefit of BA Capital, 849,275 shares of Class B Common Stock and options to purchase 26,138 shares of Class A Common Stock, which are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, including 20,247 options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, which are held by Mr. Sheridan for the benefit of BA Capital. BACI has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 5,781,484 shares of Class A Common Stock, which consists of 821,568 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,959,916 shares of Class B Common Stock.

     Mr. Hain is the managing member of both RE Equity Management GP and REP GP and as a result is deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the securities of the Company owned by BA Capital and BACI. Mr. Hain disclaims such beneficial ownership. If Mr. Hain’s employment with Ridgemont Partners Management, LLC or any of its affiliates ceases, Mr. Hain will cease to be the managing member of RE Equity Management GP and REP GP.
     (c) On December 30, 2010, Mr. Sheridan surrendered 1,282 shares of Class A Common Stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock held by Mr. Sheridan for the benefit of BA Capital. Other than this transaction, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no executive officer of director of any Reporting Person has had any transactions in the Class A Common Stock during the past 60 days.

     (e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following prior to the last paragraph:
Exchange Agreement
     On January 31, 2011, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the Company will acquire the remaining equity interests of its private affiliate Cumulus Media Partners, LLC (“CMP”) that the Company currently does not own. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company will issue 9,945,714 shares of its common stock to affiliates of the three private equity firms that collectively own 75% of the equity interests in CMP — Bain Capital Partners LLC, The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) and Thomas H. Lee Partners (collectively, the “Sellers”) — in exchange for their equity interests in CMP (the “Exchange”). As a result, CMP will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
     In connection with the Exchange, the Company will ask its stockholders to approve an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to create a new class of common stock, Class D Common Stock. The Class D Common Stock will be non-voting, convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder (subject to regulatory conditions), and otherwise be treated equally with the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In addition, the amendment will eliminate the requirement that holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock must consent to (i) any proposed merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) any proposed transaction that would result in a change of control of the Company or (iii) any transaction in which the Company proposes to acquire (by purchase or otherwise) or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets having a fair market value in excess of 10% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity.
     Consummation of the Exchange is subject to various customary conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders of the share issuances and the above-described amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and approval of the Federal Communications Commission.
Voting Agreements
     In connection with the transactions contemplated by, and as a condition to the willingness of the Sellers to enter into, the Exchange Agreement, BA Capital and BACI each entered into a Voting Agreement with Blackstone, as sellers’ representative, dated January 28, 2011 (the “Voting Agreement”) with respect to all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by them. In the Voting Agreement, BA Capital and BACI each agreed to vote all of its respective shares (i) in favor of the charter amendments and the approval required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 for issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued pursuant to the Exchange, and (ii) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be prevent, impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Exchange or the other transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.
     The Voting Agreement terminates on the first to occur of (i) the closing of the Exchange, (ii) the termination of the Exchange Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) 11:59 p.m. New York, New York time on December 31, 2011, and (iv) the written agreement of the Sellers, BACI and BA Capital to terminate the Voting Agreement. Until such termination, each of BA Capital and BACI has agreed not to sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of its shares (or enter into any voting agreement, whether by proxy or otherwise, with respect to such shares), or otherwise create any new restriction on its ability freely to exercise all voting rights with respect to such shares. The Voting Agreement was entered into by each of BA Capital and BACI solely in its capacity as stockholder and nothing in any such Voting Agreement will in any way restrict or limit any director or officer of the

15


Table of Contents

Company (including any affiliates of BA Capital or BACI) from taking any action in his capacity as a director or officer of the Company that would be necessary for him to comply with his fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company.
     In addition, pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each of BA Capital and BACI, in their capacity as holders of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, which generally have no voting power except in certain circumstances specified in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, granted their express written consent to the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement for all purposes under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

Agreement, other than the agreements listed on Schedule A, each of which remains in full force and effect.

          Section 4.15 Specific Performance. The Parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor and therefore fully intend for specific performance to be the principal remedy for breaches of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1, the Parties to this Agreement will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 4.16 herein, without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to object to a remedy of specific performance on the basis that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 4.15 are an integral part of the Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 4.15, and each Party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

-10-

Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
          Section 4.17 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.17.
          Section 4.18 Action in Stockholder Capacity Only. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into by each CMI Stockholder solely in such CMI Stockholder’s capacity as the Beneficial Owner of such CMI Stockholder’s Owned Shares and nothing in this Agreement restricts or limits any action taken by any representative of such CMI Stockholder in his capacity as a director or officer of CMI (including, without limitation, under the Exchange Agreement), or any of its Affiliates (but not on his own behalf as a stockholder).
          Section 4.19 Disclosure.
