Stockholders' Equity

Successor Common Stock

Pursuant to the Company's Charter, the Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of stock divided into three classes consisting of: (i) 100,000,000 shares of new Class A common stock; (ii) 100,000,000 shares of new Class B common stock; and (iii) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Each share of new Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders. Except as provided below and as otherwise required by the Charter, the Company's bylaws or by applicable law, the holders of new Class A common stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders generally (or if any holders of shares of preferred stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of common stock, as a single class with such holders of shares of preferred stock).

Holders of new Class B common stock are generally not entitled to vote such shares on matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of new Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share of new Class B common stock, voting as a separate class, on any proposed amendment or modification of any specific rights or obligations that affect holders of new Class B common stock and that do not similarly affect the rights or obligations of the holders of new Class A common stock. In addition, holders of new Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share of new Class B common stock, voting together with the holders of new Class A common stock, on each of the following matters, if and only if any such matter is submitted to a vote of the stockholders (provided that the Company may take action on any of the following without a vote of the stockholders to the extent permitted by law):


a.	the retention or dismissal of outside auditors by the Company;


b.	any dividends or distributions to the stockholders of the Company;


c.	any material sale of assets, recapitalization, merger, business combination, consolidation, exchange of stock or other similar reorganization involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;


d.	the adoption of any new or amended charter;


e.	other than in connection with any management equity or similar plan adopted by the Board, any authorization or issuance of equity interests, or any security or instrument convertible into or exchangeable for equity interests, in the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and


f.	the liquidation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The Charter and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting. The holders of a plurality of the shares of new common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present and which is called for the purpose of electing directors will be entitled to elect the directors of the Company. The holders of a majority of the shares of new common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders.

Subject to the preferences applicable to any preferred stock outstanding at any time, if any, the holders of shares of new common stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, property or shares of stock as may be declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of the assets or funds legally available; except that in the case of dividends or other distributions payable on the new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock in shares of such stock, including distributions pursuant to stock splits or dividends, only new Class A common stock will be distributed with respect to new Class A common stock and only new Class B common stock will be distributed with respect to new Class B common stock. In no event will any of the new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock be split, divided or combined unless each other class is proportionately split, divided or combined.

As of the date hereof, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. The Charter provides that the Board may, by resolution, establish one or more classes or series of preferred stock having the number of shares and relative voting rights, designations and other rights, preferences, and limitations as may be fixed by them without further stockholder approval. The holders of any such preferred stock may be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock with respect to dividends, or upon a liquidation, dissolution, or the Company's winding up, in such amounts as are established by the resolutions of the Board approving the issuance of such shares.

The new Class B common stock is convertible at any time, or from time to time, at the option of the holders (provided that the prior consent of any governmental authority required to make such conversion lawful shall have been obtained and a determination by the Company has been made that the applicable holder does not have an attributable interest in another entity that would cause the Company to violate applicable law) into new Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis.

No holder of new common stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable in the future.

If the Company is liquidated (either partially or completely), dissolved or wound up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of new common stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the Company's net assets remaining after payment of all liquidation preferences, if any, applicable to any outstanding preferred stock.

In connection with the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 and in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company issued a total of 11,052,211 shares of new Class A common stock and 5,218,209 shares of new Class B common stock. The holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan received 83.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued. For further discussion regarding the warrants issued to the holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan, see "Successor Stock Purchase Warrants" section below. The holders of unsecured claims, including claims arising from the 7.75% Senior Notes, received, or will receive in the aggregate, 16.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued.

During the Successor Company year ended December 31, 2019 and period from June 4, 2018 to December 31, 2018, certain holders of new Class B common stock elected to exchange 1,636,791 and 1,692,849 shares respectively, of new Class B common stock for an equal number of shares of new Class A common stock.

Successor Stock Purchase Warrants

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") with Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as warrant agent. In accordance with the Plan and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company (i) issued 3,016,853 Series 1 warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock, on a one-for-one basis with an exercise price of $0.0000001 per share, to certain claimants with claims against the Predecessor Company and (ii) issued or will issue 712,736 Series 2 warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock on a one-for- one basis with an exercise price of $0.0000001 per share, to other claimants. The Warrants expire on June 4, 2038.

The number of shares of new common stock for which a Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of specified events, including: (1) the subdivision or combination of the new common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares (2) upon a reclassification or recapitalization of the Company in which holders of new common stock are entitled to receive cash, stock or securities in exchange for new common stock and (3) a Change of Control (as defined in the Warrant Agreement).

The Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act") restricts the Company from having more than 25% of its capital stock owned or voted by non-U.S. persons, foreign governments or non-U.S. corporations. The Company applied for a declaratory ruling from the FCC to increase the level of foreign ownership of the Company greater than that permitted under the Communications Act. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, upon receipt of the declaratory ruling from the FCC, the Company is required to exchange new common stock for outstanding Warrants to the extent permitted by the declaratory ruling, subject to proration among the holders of Warrants as set forth therein. If the declaratory ruling will not allow the Company to exchange new common stock for all of the outstanding Warrants, then, in addition to proration among holders, all remaining Series 2 warrants will be mandatorily exchanged for Series 1 warrants.

Predecessor Common Stock

The Predecessor Company was authorized to issue an aggregate of 268,830,609 shares of stock divided into four classes consisting of:


i.	93,750,000 shares designated as Class A common stock;


ii.	75,000,000 shares designated as Class B common stock;


iii.	80,609 shares designated as Class C common stock, and


iv.	100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

In accordance with the Plan, each share of old common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Date, including all options, warrants or other rights, including rights issued under the Rights Agreement, to purchase such old common stock, were extinguished, canceled and discharged, and each such share, option or warrant has no further force or effect. Furthermore, all of Old Cumulus's equity award agreements under prior incentive plans, and the awards granted pursuant thereto, were extinguished, canceled and discharged and have no further force or effect.

In June 2009, in connection with the execution of an amendment to Old Cumulus's then-existing credit agreement, the Predecessor Company issued warrants to the lenders thereunder that allowed them to acquire up to 156,250 shares of old Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.17 per share (the "2009 Warrants"). None of the 2009 warrants were converted during the period from January 1, 2018 to June 3, 2018, and as of June 3, 2018 there were 40,057 of the 2009 Warrants outstanding.
