Item 2.01 — Completion of Acquisition or Disposition or Assets.
On December 12, 2013, Cumulus Media Inc. (the “the Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Dial Global, Inc., now known as WestwoodOne, Inc. (“WestwoodOne”), an independent, full-service radio network company, offering news, sports, formats, prep, talk and music programming, jingles and imaging, and special events, as well as national advertising sales representation (the “WestwoodOne Acquisition”).
In accordance with the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, dated August 30, 2013, by and among Holdings, WestwoodOne, Cardinals Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and DG LA Members, LLC (the “Merger Agreement”) governing the WestwoodOne Acquisition, at the effective time of the WestwoodOne Acquisition, Merger Sub was merged with and into WestwoodOne, and WestwoodOne became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection therewith, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of WestwoodOne were automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an aggregate of approximately $45.0 million in cash, and WestwoodOne repaid all of its outstanding indebtedness. The payment of the purchase price to complete the WestwoodOne Acquisition (including the cash used to repay approximately $215.0 million of WestwoodOne’s outstanding indebtedness) was funded from cash on hand, which included approximately $238.0 million in cash proceeds from the Company’s previously completed sale of 53 radio stations in 12 small and mid-sized markets on November 14, 2013 to Townsquare Media, LLC.
The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference.
Pursuant to an agreement entered into by the parties to the Merger Agreement at closing, $22.5 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow (the “Escrow Fund”) pending the completion of an ongoing investigation by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) relating to the WestwoodOne Acquisition. The Escrow Fund will be available to compensate Cumulus for expenses in defending the investigation and to the extent Cumulus incurs any loss as a result of any final remedial action taken by the DOJ with respect to its investigation.
On December 12, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the WestwoodOne Acquisition. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by this reference.
