OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE On August 27, 2002, Regent Communications, Inc. received final approval from the bankruptcy court for the acquisition of 12 radio stations from Brill Media Company LLC and related debtor entities. The stations to be acquired and the markets they serve are as follows: - WIOV-FM and WIOV-AM, serving the Lancaster-Reading, Pennsylvania market - WBKR-FM, WKDQ-FM and WOMI-AM, serving the Evansville, Indiana and Owensboro, Kentucky markets - KTRR-FM, KUAD-FM and a construction permit for an FM station, serving the Ft. Collins-Greeley, Colorado market - KKCB-FM, KLDJ-FM, KBMX-FM and WEBC-AM, serving the Duluth, Minnesota market The purchase price of these assets is approximately $62 million. Regent will pay up to one-half of the acquisition price in shares of its common stock based on a per share price equal to the average daily closing price for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the closing date. In the event that the per share price calculated for such period is less than $7.50, Regent may, in its sole discretion, substitute cash for any or all of such stock consideration. The non-stock portion of the purchase price will be paid in cash, and in no event will be less than $31 million. Regent expects to fund the cash portion of the purchase price with available borrowings under its credit facility. ITEM 7.

REGENT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Registrant) Date: September 10, 2002 By: /s/ Anthony A. Vasconcellos ----------------------------- Anthony A. Vasconcellos Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 3 EX-99.01 3 l96220aexv99w01.txt EXHIBIT 99.01 EXHIBIT 99.1 REGENT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - --------------------- REGENT RECEIVES COURT APPROVAL TO ACQUIRE 12 RADIO STATIONS FROM BRILL MEDIA COVINGTON, KY, AUGUST 27, 2002 - Regent Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGCI) announced today that it has received final approval from the bankruptcy court for the acquisition of 12 radio stations from Brill Media Company LLC and related debtor entities, in connection with Brill Media's federal bankruptcy proceeding. Regent's acquisition is subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Regent anticipates closing this transaction late in the fourth quarter of 2002 or the first quarter of 2003. As previously announced, Regent will pay approximately $62 million for the assets. Up to one half of the acquisition price is expected to be paid in Regent common stock, subject to Regent's option of substituting cash for the stock portion of the transaction, in whole or in part, if the market price of Regent's common stock is less than $7.50 per share within the applicable time period preceding the closing date. The non-stock portion of the purchase price will be paid entirely in cash, and in no event will be less than $31.0 million. Regent anticipates that it will begin operating the stations pursuant to a local marketing agreement by mid-September 2002. Given the anticipated timing of the operational takeover, the acquisition will not have a material effect on the Company's third quarter results. As a result, Regent is not adjusting its financial guidance at this time. Terry Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This acquisition provides us with an excellent opportunity to drive strong revenue and cash flow growth over the long-term. Over the next six months our focus will be on integrating these stations into our portfolio. Specifically, we anticipate reducing the commercial load on a number of properties to more practical levels, as well as turning our construction permit in Colorado into a live station. As a result, we would expect significant margin improvements in these stations beginning in the second half of next year, as the benefits of Regent's long-term operational focus take hold. However, even with these investments, we still expect these stations to contribute incremental cash flow to our fourth quarter results." "We also believe we are entering these markets on solid financial terms," Mr. Jacobs continued. "In fact, adjusting for stick value, this transaction was done at an attractive multiple of approximately 13 times 2002 broadcast cash flow. In addition, even with this acquisition we will maintain one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry, providing us with the flexibility to do further acquisitions which enhance our long-term growth potential."
