Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously discussed by Entravision Communications Corporation (the “Company”) on its fourth quarter and full year 2017 financial results teleconference on March 14, 2018, the Company is undertaking an extensive review of its business in order to more efficiently align its operations and reduce costs. As part of this cost reduction, the Company has implemented a reduction in force and other discretionary expense cuts. The Company expects to recognize a charge of approximately $750,000 in the second quarter of 2018 for severance costs related to these actions. Additionally, the Company anticipates that these actions will result in approximately $8 million in annualized savings beginning in the second quarter of 2018.
