Restructuring Plan

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to help mitigate the adverse impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on financial results and business operations. The Company continues to evaluate what, if any, further actions may be necessary related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring plan primarily included workforce reduction charges that included one-time termination benefits and related costs to mitigate the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company initiated a restructuring plan as a result of the integration of radio stations acquired from CBS Radio Inc. ("CBS Radio") in November 2017. The restructuring plan included: (i) workforce reduction and realignment charges that included one-time termination benefits and related costs; and (ii) costs associated with realigning radio stations within the overlap markets between CBS Radio and the Company.

The estimated amount of unpaid restructuring charges as of September 30, 2021 includes amounts in accrued expenses that are expected to be paid in less than one year and long-term restructuring costs for lease abandonment costs covering the remaining non-cancellable lease term.
