Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On April 5, 2017, Cumulus Media Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) because the bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market has closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The NASDAQ letter has no immediate effect on the NASDAQ listing or trading of the Company’s Class A common stock.
In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until October 2, 2017, to regain compliance with the requirements under the Rule. If, at any time before that date the bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, NASDAQ will notify the Company that it has achieved compliance with the Rule.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by October 2, 2017, the Company may be eligible for additional time to come into compliance with the Rule. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide NASDAQ written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company meets these requirements, NASDAQ will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days to cure the deficiency. If it appears to the NASDAQ staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company does not cure the deficiency following the additional time, NASDAQ will notify the Company that its Class A common stock will be subject to delisting.
This information is being provided solely to comply with NASDAQ Listing Rules requiring public announcement of the Company’s receipt of the letter from NASDAQ.
