UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Asset Purchase Agreement
 
On April 17, 2024, MediaCo Holding Inc., an Indiana corporation (“MediaCo” or “the Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary MediaCo Operations LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Estrella Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Estrella”), and SLF LBI Aggregator, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Aggregator”) and affiliate of HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS”), pursuant to which Purchaser purchased substantially all of the assets of Estrella and its subsidiaries (other than certain broadcast assets owned by Estrella and its subsidiaries (the “Estrella Broadcast Assets”)) (the “Purchased Assets”), and assumed substantially all of the liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”) of Estrella and its subsidiaries (the foregoing collectively, the “Estrella Acquisition”).
 
MediaCo provided the following consideration for the Purchased Assets (the “Transaction Consideration”):
 

a
A warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 28,206,152 shares of MediaCo’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”);
 

b
60,000 shares of a newly designated series of MediaCo’s preferred stock designated as “Series B Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred Stock”);
 

c
A term loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below) (the “Second Lien Term Loan”); and
 

d
An aggregate cash payment in the amount of approximately $30.8 million to be used, in part, for the repayment of certain indebtedness of Estrella and payment of certain Estrella transaction expenses.
 
The shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Option Agreement (as defined below) represent approximately 43% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (assuming the full exercise of the Warrant and the Option Agreement (as defined below)).
 
Option Agreement
 
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, MediaCo and Purchaser entered into an Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement” and, together with the Estrella Acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the Network Affiliation Agreement and the Network Program Supply Agreement described below, collectively, the “Estrella Transaction”) with Estrella and certain subsidiaries of Estrella pursuant to which (i) Purchaser was granted the option to purchase 100% of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Estrella holding the Estrella Broadcast Assets (the “Option Subsidiaries Equity”) in exchange for 7,051,538 shares of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) Estrella was granted the right to put the Option Subsidiaries Equity to Purchaser for the same consideration beginning six months after the date of the closing of the Estrella Acquisition (the “Closing Date”).
 
Voting and Support Agreement
 
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, SG Broadcasting LLC (“SG Broadcasting”), the holder of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”) representing a majority of the voting power of the shares of MediaCo, entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with MediaCo and Estrella (the “Voting and Support Agreement”), pursuant to which SG Broadcasting agreed to, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at any meeting of MediaCo stockholders (including the Stockholders Meeting), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, vote in favor of the Proposal and against any action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Proposal. The Voting Agreement also includes certain customary restrictions on SG Broadcasting’s ability to transfer its shares of MediaCo stock. The Voting Agreement will automatically terminate upon the date on which the Proposal is approved.


Exhibit 99.4
 Warrant
 
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, MediaCo issued the Warrant, which provides for the purchase of up to 28,206,152 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the Warrant, at an exercise price per share of $0.00001. Subject to certain limitations, the Warrant also provides that the Warrant holder has the right to participate in distributions on Class A Common Stock on an as-exercised basis. The Warrant further provides that in no event shall the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Warrant holder upon exercise of the Warrant exceed 19.9% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock of MediaCo outstanding, or the voting power of such outstanding shares of common stock, on the business day immediately preceding the issue date for such Warrant Shares, calculated in accordance with the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), unless and until the Proposal has been approved.
 
First Lien Term Loan
 
In order to finance the Estrella Acquisition, MediaCo and its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a maximum $45.0 million first lien term loan credit facility, dated April 17, 2024 (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), with White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as term agent thereunder, and the lenders party thereto. Under the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, MediaCo received an initial term loan of $35.0 million on April 17, 2024 (the “Initial Loan”) and was provided with a subsequent delayed draw facility of up to $10.0 million that may be provided for additional working capital purposes under certain conditions (the “Delayed Draw” and the loans thereunder, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”; the financing contemplated by the First Lien Term Loan, together with Estrella Transaction and the payment of the Transaction Consideration, the “Transactions”). The Initial Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loans are collectively referred to as the “First Lien Term Loans.” The proceeds of the Initial Loan were used to finance the Estrella Acquisition, pay off certain existing Estrella indebtedness in connection therewith and pay related fees and transaction costs. The Initial Loan will mature on April 17, 2029, and each Delayed Draw Term Loan will mature on the date that is two years after the drawing of such Delayed Draw Term Loan. First Lien Term Loans will be subject to monthly amortization payments equal to 0.8333% of the initial principal amount of the First Lien Term Loans, and monthly interest payments at a rate of SOFR + 6.00%. The First Lien Term Loans are subject to a borrowing base in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement.
 
Second Lien Term Loan
 
In addition, MediaCo and its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a $30.0 million second lien term loan credit facility, dated April 17, 2024 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), with HPS as term agent, and the lenders party thereto. Under the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, MediaCo was deemed to receive the Second Lien Term Loan of $30.0 million on April 17, 2024 in connection with the consummation of the Estrella Acquisition. The Second Lien Term Loan will mature on April 17, 2029 and will be subject to monthly interest payments at a rate of SOFR + 6.00%. The Second Lien Term Loans are subject to a borrowing base in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement.
 
Network Affiliation and Supply Agreements
 
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, Purchaser entered into a Network Program Supply Agreement (the “Network Program Supply Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of Estrella that operate radio broadcast stations (the “Radio Stations”). Pursuant to the Network Program Supply Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to license certain programs and other material to the Radio Stations for distribution on the Radio Stations’ broadcast channels.
 
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, Purchaser entered into a Network Affiliation Agreement (the “Network Affiliation Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of Estrella that operate television broadcast stations (the “TV Stations”). Pursuant to the Network Affiliation Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to license certain programs and other material to the TV Stations for distribution on the TV Stations’ broadcast channels.
 
These agreements impact the income from noncontrolling interests in these pro forma income statements.


Exhibit 99.4
 Variable Interest Entity
 
The Company determined that the Estrella entities holding the Estrella Broadcast Assets subject to the Option Agreement (the “Estrella VIE”) is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. The Company’s conclusion that the Estrella VIE is a VIE results from the Option Agreement, which caps Estrella VIE’s right to residual returns. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) paragraph 810-10-25-38A and paragraph 810-10-25-38B, a reporting entity (the Company) is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it has both of the following characteristics:
 

a
The power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and
 

b
The obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
 
The Company determined that since substantially all of the activities of the Estrella VIE are conducted on behalf of a single VIE holder, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the remaining assets and liabilities of the Estrella VIE should be consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of April 17, 2024.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The following tables set forth unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of MediaCo and Estrella (including the Estrella VIE) (together, the “Combined Company”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements consist of an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of the Combined Company as of March 31, 2024, and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of the Combined Company for the year ended December 31, 2023, and three months ended March 31, 2024.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and for the year ended December 31, 2023, give pro forma effect to the Transactions, the payment of the Transaction Consideration and the funding of the First Lien Term Loan as if they had occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, gives pro forma effect to the Transactions, the payment of the Transaction Consideration and the funding of the First Lien Term Loan as if they were completed on March 31, 2024.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with:
 

a.
the historical audited consolidated financial statements of MediaCo contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023;
 

b.
the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of MediaCo as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, contained in MediaCo’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024;
 

c.
the historical audited financial statements of Estrella Broadcasting, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, filed as exhibit 99.2 to this 8-K/A;
 

d.
the historical unaudited financial statements of Estrella Broadcasting, Inc. as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, filed as exhibit 99.3 to this 8-K/A.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the Transactions occurred (and the Transaction Consideration and First Lien Term Loan been paid and/or funded, as applicable) as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations of the Combined Company. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.
 
Both MediaCo’s and Estrella’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars. Certain reclassification adjustments were made to conform Estrella’s financial statement presentation to that of MediaCo’s. Additional reclassifications and adjustments may be required if changes are needed to conform Estrella’s financial statement presentation and accounting policies to those of MediaCo.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with MediaCo as the accounting acquirer. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are to be recognized and measured at their estimated acquisition date fair value.
 

Exhibit 99.4
The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and information available as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. Certain valuations and assessments, including valuations of FCC licenses, fixed assets, leases and intangible assets as well as the assessment of tax positions and tax rates of the combined business, are in process.
 
Actual adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and the differences may be material.

Note 1 - Preliminary purchase price allocation
 
The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Transactions and in connection with the payment and/or funding of the Transaction Consideration and the First Lien Term Loan. The following table summarizes the estimated allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date (in thousands).
 
This estimated preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations. The final purchase price will be completed when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary calculation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of property, plant and equipment, lease right of use assets, and lease liabilities (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets including goodwill (3) other changes to assets and liabilities and (4) assessment of tax positions and tax rates.

(O)
The number of shares used in calculating the pro forma combined basic and diluted net loss per share has been adjusted to reflect the estimated total number of shares of common stock of the Combined Company that would be outstanding as of the Transaction closing date. As of the Transaction closing date, the warrant shares are subject to a 19.9% Share Cap. The warrant shares in excess of the 19.9% Share Cap are contingently issuable pending shareholder approval. Therefore, only those contingently issuable warrant shares for which all conditions are satisfied will be included in the pro forma basic shares. Based on the total number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding on April 17, 2024, the total number of warrants able to be exercised was 9,300,650. The pro forma weighted average shares outstanding are calculated as follows:
 
   
Three months ended
March 31, 2024

Note 2 - Estrella Reclassification Adjustments
 
During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary analysis of Estrella’s financial information to identify differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the presentation of the Company. Based on a preliminary analysis performed, certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform Estrella’s historical combined financial statement presentation to the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation. The Company is currently performing a full and detailed review of its financial statement presentation and accounting policies, which could result in amounts set forth in the Company's consolidated financial statements being materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.
 
Refer to the table below for a summary of adjustments made to present Estrella’s historical unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, to conform with the presentation of the Company's historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024.
