Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On March 23, 2006, the Board of Directors of Entercom Communications Corp. (the “Company”), approved, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the Entercom Equity Compensation Plan to permit an option exchange program (the “Option Exchange Program”). The Option Exchange Program will be proposed to the shareholders of the Company for their approval at the May 16, 2006 Annual Meeting of the Company. On April 7, 2006, David J. Field, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, sent an email to holders of eligible options announcing the Option Exchange Program and describing its key features. Attached to the email was a Questions and Answers Summary Regarding Option Exchange Program. The text of this email is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and the Questions and Answers Summary Regarding Option Exchange Program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. Each of Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

If the Option Exchange Program is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company will offer Company employees and non-employee directors a one-time opportunity to voluntarily exchange all of their outstanding stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $40.00 per share for a lesser number of shares of restricted Class A common stock of the Company. The exchange ratio under the Option Exchange Program will be fifteen-to-one, meaning that for every fifteen (15) options surrendered, the holder will receive one share of restricted Class A common stock.

 

The filing of this Form 8-K and attached exhibits are intended to satisfy the Company’s filing obligations under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(c) regarding communications made by an issuer prior to the commencement of an issuer tender offer and Rule 14a-12 regarding proxy solicitation materials distributed prior to the filing of a proxy statement, meeting the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 14a-3(a).
