Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This statement relates to the common stock, no par value (the “Shares”), of Regent Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive office of the issuer of such securities is located at 100 East RiverCenter Blvd., Suite 900, Covington, Kentucky 41011

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This statement is being filed on behalf of: Don A. Sanders

Mr. Sanders is Vice Chairman and a director of Sanders Morris Harris Group Inc., a Texas corporation (“SMHG”), and Chairman of the Executive Committee and a director of SMH Capital Inc., a Texas corporation (“SMH Capital”), registered broker dealer and investment adviser, and wholly-owned subsidiary of SMHG. Mr. Sanders is also a manager of SOF Management, LLC, a Delaware corporation and the general partner of Sanders Opportunity Fund, L.P. and Sanders Opportunity Fund (Institutional), L.P. (the “SOF Funds”) and chief investment officer of the SOF Funds. The address of his principal office is 600 Travis, Suite 3100, Houston, Texas 77002. Mr. Sanders is a citizen of the United States.

During the past five years, Mr. Sanders has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors).

During the past five years, Mr. Sanders was not or is not subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws as a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Mr. Sanders has invested an aggregate of $1,064,491 (exclusive of brokerage commissions) in 212,456 Shares of the Issuer and the SOF Funds have invested an aggregate amount of $4,774,394 (exclusive of brokerage commissions) in 1,043,023 Shares of the Issuer reported hereunder. The source of the funds used to purchase the Shares of the Issuer held by Mr. Sanders was personal funds and the SOF Funds was the working capital of the SOF Funds. This Schedule 13D also includes 1,416,000 Shares of the Issuer with a cost basis of approximately $5,385,093 held in client brokerage accounts over which Mr. Sanders has shared dispositive power. The sources of funds used to purchase these Shares of the Issuer were personal funds of the respective clients.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Mr. Sanders is filing this Schedule 13D because, as a result of certain matters reported under Item 6 below, he is no longer eligible to report his beneficial ownership of Shares of the Issuer on Schedule 13G as he may be deemed to hold Shares of the Issuer for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer.

Mr. Sanders, the SOF Funds, and the clients of SMH Capital acquired and continue to hold the Shares of the Issuer as a long-term investment. Mr. Sanders intends to review continuously his investment in the Issuer and may or may not seek involvement in the Issuer’s affairs. Mr. Sanders reserves the right to discuss various views and opinions with respect to the Issuer and its business plans with the Issuer or the members of its senior management. The discussion of such views and opinions may extend from ordinary day-to-day operations to matters such as nominees for representation on the Issuer’s board of directors, senior management decisions, and extraordinary business transactions.

Depending on his evaluation of the Issuer’s business and prospects and future developments, Mr. Sanders, the SOF Funds, or clients for which Mr. Sanders exercises investment discretion of the Funds, may from time to time purchase additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of all or a portion of the securities held by such person, or cease buying or selling shares. Any additional purchases of securities may be in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Except as described in this Item 4 and Item 6, neither Mr. Sanders nor the SOF the Funds have any present plans or proposals which relate or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, (e) any material change to the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (j) any actions similar to any of those enumerated above.

On September 14, 2007, Mr. Sanders entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Issuer, SMH Capital Inc. (“SMH Capital”), SOF Management, LLC (“SOF Management”), Sanders Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“SOF Fund”), Sanders Opportunity Fund (Institutional) L.P. (“SOF Fund (Institutional)), Riley Investment Management LLC (“RIM”), Riley Investment Partners Master Fund, L.P. (“RIP”) , John Ahn and Joseph Patrick Hannan. As used in this description, “Riley” includes RIM, RIP, and all of their respective affiliates, the term “Sanders” includes SMH Capital, SOF Management, SOF Fund, SOF Fund (Institutional), Mr. Sanders, and all of their respective affiliates, the term “Issuer” means the Issuer and its affiliates, and the term “affiliates” means any officer, director, employees, investment advisory clients, attorney, agent, assignee, predecessor, successor, parent, subsidiary, affiliate, division, or related company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the parties took the following actions on September 14, 2007:

 

  •  

Riley and Sanders withdrew their demand for a special meeting (the “Proposed Special Meeting”) pursuant to letters from stockholders (including Riley and Sanders) dated in the period July 19, 2007 through August 8, 2007, for the purpose of, among other things, (i) to amend the Issuer’s bylaws to increase the size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors to nine directors, fix the number of directors at nine, eliminate the ability of the Issuer’s Board to change the number of directors without stockholder approval, and provide that only stockholders acting at a stockholders meeting could fill any vacancies that would occur if the size of the Issuer’s Board was subsequently increased or if a director was removed by stockholders, and (ii) to elect four new directors nominated by Riley to the Issuer’s Board if stockholders adopted the bylaw amendments and so expanded the size of the Issuer’s Board.

 

  •  

After consideration and recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Issuer’s Board met and approved an expansion of the Board from five to seven directors, appointed Messrs. Ahn and Hannan to fill the two newly created Board positions, appointed Mr. Ahn to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and appointed Mr. Hannan to the Board’s Audit and Compensation Committees.

  •  

All parties to the pending litigation among them (the “Pending Litigation”), consisting of the lawsuit filed by Riley against the Issuer in Delaware Chancery Court seeking to compel a special meeting of stockholders and to inspect certain records of the Issuer, the Issuer’s counterclaim against Riley and naming Sanders as a third party defendant in the Delaware Chancery Court action, and the Issuer’s lawsuit against Riley and Sanders in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging violations of Section 13 and 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with requests from various stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders entered into a release agreement (the “Release”) and released each other from all potential claims relating to the Proposed Special Meeting and the Pending Litigation.

 

  •  

Counsel to the parties made the appropriate filings with the Delaware Chancery Court and the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware to dismiss the Pending Litigation with prejudice.

The Agreement contains additional agreements, including the following terms and agreements:

 

  •  

Riley, Sanders, and Messrs. Ahn and Hannan will not call for any special meeting of stockholders of the Issuer and not nominate any person for election to the Issuer’s Board at any special or annual meeting of stockholders, or form or join a group or act in concert with any person or entity to change the composition of the Issuer’s Board through September 14, 2008, except with the consent of a majority of the then current members of the Issuer’s Board. The foregoing will not restrict any vote or actions by Messrs. Ahn and Hannan in their capacity as directors of the Issuer (including on the Nominating Committee) and Riley, Sanders, and Messrs. Ahn and Hannan will not be restricted from voting any shares of, or giving a proxy or executing a written consent with respect to, their stock in response to a request from a third party that is not part of a group, as defined in Rule 13d-1, of which Riley, Sanders, Mr. Hannan, or Mr. Ahn is also a member and such actions shall not in and of itself be deemed to be acting in concert with the person or persons requesting the vote, proxy or written consent. The foregoing restrictions shall terminate at any time that the Issuer breaches any of its covenants with respect to Board size, appointment and nomination of the Riley nominees and bylaw amendments.

 

  •  

So long as through the date of the Issuer’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Riley and Sanders each maintains beneficial ownership of at least 5.0% of Issuer’s outstanding shares of common stock, then Messrs. Ahn and Hannan will be nominated for reelection to the Board to serve as directors through the Issuer’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

  •  

Unless approved by a majority of the Issuer’s Board, including the approval of either Mr. Ahn or Mr. Hannan, the Issuer’s bylaws will not be amended with respect to calling a special meeting of stockholders until at least two months after no designees of Riley serve on Issuer’s Board.

 

  •  

Unless approved by a majority of the Issuer’s Board, including the approval of either Mr. Ahn or Mr. Hannan, the size of the Board is fixed at seven directors, and no increase or decrease shall be made at any time through September 14, 2008.

 

  •  

One of Mr. Ahn or Mr. Hannan will be appointed to any Board Committee as may be established by the Board.

 

  •  

Each party will bear its own costs relating to the Pending Litigation, the Proposed Special Meeting, the Agreement, the Release, and all related matters.

  •  

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement, all covenants and restrictions will lapse upon the earlier of such time that no designees of Riley serve on the Issuer’s Board, or the adjournment and close of the Issuer’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement and the Release is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement attached as Exhibit 2.

VIA OVERNIGHT DELIVERY, REGISTERED MAIL AND FACSIMILE

Regent Communications, Inc.

511 Walnut Street

Cincinnati, Ohio 45202

Attention: Secretary and President

Dear Sir or Madam:

Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), is a holder of record of shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Regent Communications, Inc. (the “Company”). DTC is informed by its participant Pershing, LLC (“Participant”), that on the date hereof 3,744,882 of such shares (the “Shares”) credited to Participant’s DTC account are beneficially owned by various customers (see attached list) [(“RIP”)*] of Participant.

At the request of Participant on behalf of Shareholder, Cede & Co., as a holder of record of the Shares, hereby requests that you call a special meeting of the Shareholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., Cincinnati, Ohio time, on September 3, 2007 at The Cincinnatian Hotel, 601 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 for the following purposes and to conduct the following business:

 

  1. To amend Section 1 of Article II of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

SECTION 1. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The number of directors that shall constitute the entire Board shall be nine (9) until changed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office or approval of the stockholders. Any decrease in the authorized number of directors shall not become effective until the expiration of the term of the directors then in office, unless at the time of such decrease, there are vacancies on the Board of Directors which are being eliminated by the decrease. This provision may not be amended by the Board of Directors and

 

* The original letter inadvertently included this reference.

may only be amended by stockholders holding the voting power of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

  2. To amend Section 4 of Article II of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

SECTION 4. VACANCIES IN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. In the event a vacancy in the Board of Directors or any director’s office is created by reason of death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause or by reason of any increase in the authorized number of directors, the directors then in office, though less than a majority of the whole authorized number of directors, by the vote of a majority of their number, or a sole remaining director may fill such vacancy for the unexpired term; provided that any vacancy in the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors approved by the stockholders or the removal of a director by the stockholders shall be filled by stockholders at a meeting or special meeting holding a plurality of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote at such meeting. This provision may not be amended by the Board of Directors and may only be amended by stockholders holding the voting power of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

  3. To elect John Ahn, Bob D’Agostino, Jared Davis and Joseph Patrick Hannan, to the Company’s Board of Directors to fill the vacancies on the Board of Directors.

 

  4. To repeal each provision of or amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (other than any amendments contemplated by the foregoing proposals) adopted after the version of the by-laws included as Exhibit 3(i) to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2005.

At the request of the Participant on behalf of Shareholder, the undersigned requests that, at such time as the Company has received requests from other stockholders who, together with the Shares, hold in excess of 20% of the Company’s outstanding stock, the Company set the date and time of the special meeting as requested above. This Notice shall serve to satisfy the notice requirements of Section 2 of Article I of the By-laws as to the below described nominations and proposals. Cede & Co., at the request of the Participant on behalf of the Shareholder, demands that voting at the Special Meeting be conducted by a stock vote pursuant to Section 6 of Article I of the By-laws.

 

2

Cede & Co., at the request of the Participant on behalf of the Shareholder, reserves the right to nominate substitute persons to the Board of Directors if the Company makes or announces any changes to its By-laws, or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any of the nominees to the Board of Directors. To the extent that the size of the Board of Directors is increased above five (5), then Cede & Co., at the request of the Participant on behalf of Shareholder, reserves the right to nominate additional nominees to be elected to the Company’s Board of Directors at the Special Meeting. Additional nominations made pursuant to the preceding sentence are without prejudice to the position that any attempt to increase the size of the current Board of Directors constitutes an unlawful manipulation of the Company’s corporate machinery.

Cede & Co., at the request of the Participant on behalf of Shareholder, is reserving the right, consistent with the requirements of applicable law, to submit additional proposals, fewer proposals or different proposals at the Special Meeting. If this Notice shall be deemed for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction to be ineffective with respect to the any of the foregoing proposals at the Special Meeting, or if any individual nominee to the Board of Directors shall be unable to serve, this Notice shall continue to be effective with respect to the remaining proposals, the remaining nominees and as to any replacement nominee.

***

 

3

While Cede & Co. is furnishing this request as the Shareholder of record of the Shares, it does so only at the request of the Participant and only as a nominal party for the true party in interest, Shareholder. Cede & Co. has no interest in this matter other than to take those steps, which are necessary to ensure the Shareholder is not denied its rights as the beneficial owner of the Shares, and Cede & Co. assumes no further responsibility in this matter.

“This letter shall supersede the Demand to Call a Special Meeting dated July 19, 2007 sent on behalf of the Participant.”

 

Sincerely,
Cede & Co.
