Exhibit 3.1
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
This Restated Certificate of Incorporation restates and integrates the Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and does not further amend the Certificate of Incorporation as heretofore amended or supplemented. There is no discrepancy between such provisions and the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. This Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors in accordance with Section 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The corporation was formerly known as Westwood One Delaware, Inc. and the Certificate of Incorporation was originally filed on June 21, 1985.
FIRST: Name.
The name of the corporation is Westwood One, Inc., (the “Corporation”).
SECOND: Registered Office and Agent.
The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, City of Wilmington 19808, County of New Castle. The name and address of the Corporation’s registered agent in the State of Delaware is Corporation Service Company, the business office of which is identical with the registered office of the Corporation.
THIRD: Purpose and Business.
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
FOURTH: Capital Stock.
1. Classes and Number of Shares. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is Three Hundred Thirteen Million (313,000,000), consisting of Three Hundred Million (300,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value one cent ($0.01) per share (the “Common Stock”), Three Million (3,000,000) shares of Class B Stock, par value one cent ($0.01) per share (the “Class B Stock”), and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value one cent ($0.01) per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

 

 


 

2. Powers and Rights of Common Stock and Class B Stock.
a. Voting Rights and Powers. With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and the holders of any outstanding shares of the Class B Stock shall vote together without regard to class, and every holder of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to cast thereon one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of the Common Stock standing in his name, and every holder of any outstanding shares of Class B Stock shall be entitled to cast thereon fifty (50) votes in person or by proxy for each share of the Class B Stock standing in his name, provided that at such time as shares of the Class B Stock become outstanding, holders of the Common Stock, voting separately as a class with each holder of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock being entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of the Common Stock standing in his name, shall have the right to elect that number of directors so that one-fifth (calculated to the nearest whole number, rounding a fractional number of five-tenths (.5) to the next highest whole number) of the total number of directors of the Corporation fixed from time to time by, or in the manner provided for in, the By-laws of the Corporation, shall have been elected by the holders of the Common Stock. With respect to any proposed amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation which would increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of either the Common Stock or the Class B Stock, increase or decrease the par value of the shares of the Common Stock or the Class B Stock, or alter or change the powers, preferences, relative voting power or special rights of the shares of the Common Stock or the Class B Stock so as to affect them adversely, the approval of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the class affected by the proposed amendment, voting separately as a class, shall be obtained in addition to the approval of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Common Stock and the Class B Stock voting together without regard to class as hereinbefore provided.
b. Dividends and Distributions.
(i) Cash Dividends. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock shall be entitled to receive such cash dividends as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, provided that no cash dividend may be declared and paid to holders of Class B Stock unless at the same time the Board of Directors shall also declare and pay to the holders of Common Stock a per share dividend at least twenty-five percent (25%) greater than the per share dividend declared and paid to holders of Class B Stock. In addition, the Board of Directors may declare and pay cash dividends to the holders of Common Stock without declaring and paying dividends to the holder of Class B Stock.

 

2


 

(ii) Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of Article Fourth, Section 5 hereof, each share of the Common Stock and each share of the Class B Stock shall be equal in respect of rights to dividends (other than cash) and distributions, when and as declared, in the form of stock or other property of the Corporation, except that in the case of dividends or other distributions payable in stock of the Corporation, other than the Preferred Stock, including distributions pursuant to stock split-ups or divisions, which occur after the date shares of the Class B Stock are first issued by the Corporation, only shares of the Common Stock shall be distributed with respect to the Common Stock and only shares of the Class B Stock shall be distributed with respect to the Class B Stock.
(iii) Other Rights. Except as otherwise required by the Delaware General Corporation Law or as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, each share of the Common Stock and each share of the Class B Stock shall have identical powers, preferences and rights, including rights in liquidation.
c. Transfer of Class B Stock. (i) Restriction on Transfer. No person holding shares of Class B Stock of record (hereinafter called a “Class B Holder”) may transfer, and the Corporation shall not register the transfer of, such shares of Class B Stock, whether by sale, assignment, gift, bequest, appointment, operation of law or otherwise, except to a Permitted Transferee. A Permitted Transferee shall mean, with respect to each person from time to time shown as the record holder of shares of Class B Stock:
(1) In the case of a Class B Holder who is a natural person,
(A) The spouse of such Class B Holder, any lineal descendant of a grandparent of such Class B Holder, including adopted children, and any spouse of such lineal descendant (which lineal descendants, together with their spouses and the Class B Holder’s spouse are herein collectively referred to as “Class B Holder’s Family Members”);
(B) The trustee of a trust (including a voting trust) principally for the benefit of such Class B Holder and/or one or more of his or her Permitted Transferees described in each subdivision of this clause (i) other than this subdivision (B), provided that such trust may also grant a general or special power of appointment to one or more of such Class B Holder’s Family Members and may permit trust assets to be used to pay taxes, legacies and other obligations of the trust or of the estates of one or more of such Class B Holder’s Family Members payable by reason of the death of any of such Family Members;
(C) A corporation of which a majority of the beneficial ownership of outstanding capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors is owned by, or a partnership of which a majority of the beneficial ownership of the partnership interests entitled to participate in the management of the partnership are held by, the Class B Holder or his or her Permitted Transferees determined under this subdivision (1), provided that if by reason of any change in the ownership of such stock or partnership interests, such corporation or partnership would no longer be a Permitted Transferee, all shares of Class B Stock then held by such corporation or partnership shall, upon the election of the corporation given by written notice to such corporation or partnership, without further act on anyone’s part, be converted into shares of Common Stock effective upon the date of the giving of such notice, and stock certificates formerly representing such shares of Class B Stock shall thereupon and thereafter be deemed to represent the like number of shares of Common Stock; and

(D) The estate of such Class B Holder.
(2) In the case of a Class B Holder holding the shares of Class B Stock in question as trustee pursuant to a trust (other than a trust described in subdivision (3) below), “Permitted Transferee” means (A) any person transferring Class B Stock to such trust and (B) any Permitted Transferee of any such transferor determined pursuant to subdivision (1) above.
(3) In the case of a Class B Holder holding the shares of Class B Stock in question as trustee pursuant to a trust which was irrevocable on the record date (hereinafter in this section called the “Record Date”) for determining the persons to whom the Class B Stock is first issued by the Corporation, “Permitted Transferee” means (A) any person to whom or for whose benefit principal may be distributed either during or at the end of the term of such trust whether by power of appointment or otherwise and (B) any Permitted Transferee of any such person determined pursuant to subdivision (1) above.
(4) In the case of a Class B Holder which is a corporation or partnership acquiring record and beneficial ownership of the shares of Class B Stock in question upon its initial issuance by the Corporation, “Permitted Transferee” means (A) any partner of such partnership, or stockholder of such corporation, on the Record Date, (B) any person transferring such shares of Class B Stock to such corporation or partnership, and (C) any Permitted Transferee of any such person, partner, or stockholder referred to in subdivision (A) and (B) of this subdivision (4), determined under subdivision (1) above.
(5) In the case of a Class B Holder which is a corporation or partnership (other than a corporation or partnership described in subdivision (iv) above) holding record and beneficial ownership of the shares of Class B Stock in question, “Permitted Transferee” means (A) any person transferring such shares of Class B Stock to such corporation or partnership and (B) any Permitted Transferee of any such transferor determined under subdivision (1) above.
(6) In the case of a Class B Holder which is the estate of a deceased Class B Holder, or which is the estate of a bankrupt or insolvent Class B Holder, which holds record and beneficial ownership of the shares of Class B Stock in question, “Permitted Transferee” means a Permitted Transferee of such deceased, bankrupt or insolvent Class B Holder as determined pursuant to subdivisions (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) above, as the case may be.
(ii) Pledge of Class B Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Class B Holder may pledge such Holder’s shares of Class B Stock to a pledgee pursuant to a bona fide pledge of such shares as collateral security for indebtedness due to the pledgee, provided that such shares shall not be transferred to or registered in the name of the pledgee and shall remain subject to the provisions of this Section 2(c). In the event of foreclosure or other similar action by the pledgee, such pledged shares of Class B Stock may only be transferred to a Permitted Transferee of the pledgor or converted into shares of Common Stock, as the pledgee may elect.

(iii) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 2(c):
(1) The relationship of any person that is derived by or through legal adoption shall be considered a natural one.
(2) Each joint owner of shares of Class B Stock shall be considered a “Class B Holder” of such shares.
(3) A minor for whom shares of Class B Stock are held pursuant to a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or similar law shall be considered a Class B Holder of such shares.
(4) Unless otherwise specified, the term “person” means both natural persons and legal entities.
(5) A Permitted Transferee may never include a broker-dealer or other nominee.
(6) Without derogating from the election conferred upon the Corporation pursuant to subdivision (C) of subdivision (1) above, each reference to a corporation shall include any successor corporation resulting from merger or consolidation; and each reference to a partnership shall include any successor partnership resulting from the death or withdrawal of a partner.
(iv) Non-Permitted Transfers. Any transfer of shares of Class B Stock not permitted hereunder shall result in the conversion of the transferee’s shares of Class B Stock into shares of Common Stock, effective the date on which certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer on the books of the corporation. The Corporation may, in connection with preparing a list of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or as a condition to the transfer or the registration of shares of Class B Stock on the Corporation’s books, require the furnishing of such affidavits, documents or other proof as it deems necessary to establish that any person is the beneficial owner of shares or Class B Stock or is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) Automatic Conversion of Class B Stock. At any time when (i) the voting power of holders of Class B Stock as a group (such voting power to include the voting power of Common Stock held by holders of Class B Stock) as reflected on the stock transfer books of the corporation falls below ten percent (10%) of the aggregate voting power of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock, or (ii) the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock approve the conversion of all of the Class B Stock into Common Stock, then, immediately upon the occurrence of either such event, the outstanding shares of Class B Stock shall automatically be converted into shares

 

5


 

of Common Stock without any action by the Board of Directors or holders of Class B Stock. Thereafter, the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation which provide for different voting or cash dividend rights for the Common Stock and the Class B Stock shall not be of any effect. If any cash dividends shall have been declared at such time but not paid, holders of the Class B Stock shall be entitled to the same cash dividend payable to holders of the Common Stock. Future cash dividends, as and when declared, shall be payable at the same rate for all shares of the Common Stock then outstanding. In the event of such a conversion, certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Class B Stock shall thereupon and thereafter be deemed to represent the like number of shares of Common Stock.
(e) No “Street” or “Nominee” Registration of Class B Stock. Shares of Class B Stock shall be registered in the names of the beneficial owners thereof and not in “street” or “nominee” name. For this purpose, a “beneficial owner” of any shares of Class B Stock shall mean a person who, or an entity which, possesses the power, either single or jointly, to direct the voting or disposition of such shares. The corporation shall note on the certificates for shares of Class B Stock the existence of the restrictions on transfer imposed by this Section 2(c).
(f) Conversion of Class B Stock. Each share of Class B Stock may at any time be converted at the election of the holder thereof into one fully paid and nonassessable share of the Common Stock. Any holder of shares of the Class B Stock may elect to covert any or all of such shares at one time or at various times in such Holder’s discretion. Such right shall be exercised by the surrender of the certificate representing each share of the Class B Stock to be converted to the agent for the registration or transfer of shares of the Class B Stock at its office, or to the Corporation at its principal executive offices, accompanied by a written notice of the election by the holder thereof to convert and (if so required by the transfer agent or by the Corporation) by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the transfer agent and to the Corporation, duly executed by such holder or his duly authorized attorney. The issuance of a certificate or certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of shares of the Class B Stock shall be made without charge for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any such certificate or certificates is or are to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the share or shares of the Class B Stock converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the transfer agent or to the Corporation the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any such transfer, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the transfer agent or of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. As promptly as practicable after the surrender for conversion of a certificate or certificates representing shares of the Class B Stock and the payment of any tax as hereinbefore provided, the Corporation will deliver or cause to be delivered at the office of the transfer agent to, or upon the written order of, the holder of such certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as holder may direct. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing shares of the Class B Stock (if on such date the transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed, then immediately prior to the close of business on the first date

 

6


 

thereafter that said books shall be open), and all rights of such holder arising from ownership of shares of the Class B Stock shall cease at such time, and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates representing shares of the Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of the Common Stock at such time and shall have and may exercise all the rights and powers appertaining thereto. No adjustments in respect of past cash dividends shall be made upon the conversion of any share of the Class B Stock; provided, however, that if any shares of the Class B Stock shall be converted subsequent to the record date for the payment of a cash or stock dividend or other distribution on shares of the Class B Stock but prior to such payment, the registered holder of such shares at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the cash or stock dividend or other distribution payable to holders of the Common Stock. All shares of Class B Stock received by the Corporation upon conversion thereof into Common Stock shall be retired and not reissued except as otherwise described in this Certificate of Incorporation. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of outstanding shares of the Class B Stock, such number of shares of the Common Stock as may be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares of the Class B Stock, provided, the Corporation may deliver shares of the Common Stock which have previously been exchanged for shares of the Class B Stock or which are held in the treasury of the Corporation for shares of the Class B Stock to be converted. If any shares of the Common Stock require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of the Common Stock may be issued upon conversion, the Corporation will cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The Corporation will endeavor to list shares of the Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion prior to such delivery upon any national securities exchange or national market system on which the outstanding shares of the Common Stock may be listed at the time of such delivery. All shares of the Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of shares of the Class B Stock will, upon issue, be fully paid and nonassessable.
3. Issuance of the Class B Stock.
  a.  
Initial Issuance. The Board of Directors may authorize by resolution the manner in which shares of the Class B Stock shall initially be issued and may set such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate or advisable with respect thereto, without any vote or other action by the stockholders, except as otherwise required by law. Such initial issuance shall only be to the then holders of the Common Stock.
4. Preferred Stock. The powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions pertaining to the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, shall be such as may be fixed by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, authority to do so being hereby expressly vested in such Board.

 

7


 

5. Issuance of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock; Subsequent Issuance of Class B Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may from time to time authorize by resolution the issuance of any or all shares of the Common Stock, Class B Stock and the Preferred Stock herein authorized in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation for such purposes, in such amounts, to such persons, corporations, or entities, for such consideration, and in the case of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, all as the Board of Directors in its discretion may determine and without any vote or other action by the stockholders, except as otherwise required by law. In the case of a resolution authorizing the issuance of any shares of the Class B Stock, such resolution shall be adopted by the unanimous vote of the Board of Directors. At any time shares of the Class B Stock are outstanding, the Board of Directors may issue shares of the Common Stock in the form of a distribution or distributions pursuant to a stock dividend or split-up of the shares of the Common Stock only to the then holders of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and in conjunction with and in the same ratio as a stock dividend or split-up of the shares of the Class B Stock.
6. Cumulative Voting. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, there shall be no cumulative voting on any matter brought to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.
7. Certificate of Designations of 7.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is filed and attached as Exhibit A.
FIFTH: Adoption of Bylaws.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute and subject to Article Sixth hereof, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, repeal, rescind, alter or amend in any respect the bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”).
SIXTH: Shareholder Amendment of Bylaws.
Notwithstanding Article Fifth hereof, the Bylaws may also be adopted, repealed, rescinded, altered or amended in any respect by the stockholders of the Corporation, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock (as defined in paragraph (f) of Section 3 of Article Fourteenth hereof), regardless of class and voting together as a single voting class, and, where such action is proposed by an Interested Stockholder (as defined in paragraph (d) of Section 3 of Article Fourteenth hereof), or by any Affiliate or Associate (each as defined in paragraph (g) of Section 3 of Article fourteenth hereof) of an Interested Stockholder, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock, regardless of class and voting together as a single voting class, other than shares held by the Interested Stockholder which proposed (or the Affiliate or Associate of which proposed) such action, or any Affiliate or Associate of such Interested Stockholder; provided, however, that where such action is approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors (as defined in paragraph (a) of Section 3 of Article Fourteenth hereof), the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock, regardless of class and voting together as a single voting class, shall be required for approval of such action.

SEVENTH: Board of Directors.
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by and under the direction of the Board of Directors. Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 4 of Article Fourth hereof in connection with rights to elect additional directors under specified circumstances which may be granted to the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, the exact number of directors of the Corporation shall be determined from time to time by a Bylaw or amendment thereto.
EIGHTH: Classification of Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors shall be and is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors in each class shall be the whole number contained in the quotient obtained by dividing the authorized number of directors by three. If a fraction is also contained in such quotient, then additional directors shall be apportioned as follows: if such fraction is one-third, the additional director shall be a member of Class I; and if such fraction is two-thirds, one of the additional directors shall be a member of Class I and the other shall be a member of Class II. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation (the “Annual Meeting”) following the Annual Meeting at which such director was elected; provided, however, that all of the Corporation’s initial directors shall serve for a term ending on the date of the first Annual Meeting and that the directors elected at the Corporation’s first Annual Meeting to Class III shall serve for a term ending on the date of the first Annual Meeting next following the end of the calendar year 1986, the directors first elected to Class II shall serve for a term ending on the date of the second Annual Meeting next following the end of the calendar year 1986 and the directors first elected to Class I shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third Annual Meeting next following the end of the calendar year 1986. All directors, whether elected by holders of Class B Stock or Common Stock, shall have equal standing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article Eighth: each director shall serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal; no decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director; and additional directors, elected pursuant to Section 4 of Article Fourth hereof in connection with rights to elect such additional directors under specified circumstances which may be granted to the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, shall not be included in any class, but shall serve for such term or terms and pursuant to such other provisions as are specified in the resolution of the Board of Directors establishing such class or series.
