Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On July 5, 2011, Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (the Company) filed a Certificate of
Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
(the Amendment). The Amendment effected a one-for-ten (1-for-10) reverse stock split of the
Companys outstanding Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and Class B common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share . The reverse stock split will become
effective at 11:59p.m., Eastern Standard time on July 11, 2011 (the Effective Date).
At the Companys annual meeting of stockholders held on June 1, 2011, the stockholders
approved the Amendment and authorized the Companys Board of Directors, acting in its discretion,
to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock at a specific
ratio within the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-10. The Companys Board of Directors determined that it
is in the best interests of the Company to effect a one-for-ten reverse stock split, primarily to
increase the per share trading price of the Companys common stock above $1.00 in order to maintain
the Companys listing on The Nasdaq Global Market and to help make the stock more attractive to
institutional investors.
As a result of the reverse stock split, each ten (10) outstanding shares of pre-split common
stock will be automatically combined into one (1) share of post-split common stock. No fractional
shares will be issued. The Companys stockholders will receive instructions from Broadridge
Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Companys transfer agent, regarding the exchange of
outstanding pre-split stock certificates for post-split shares of common stock. Upon submission of
the necessary documentation by a stockholder of record to the Companys transfer agent pursuant to
such instructions, the transfer agent will distribute to such stockholder a new certificate.
Proportional adjustments will be made to the Companys outstanding stock warrants, stock options
and other equity awards and to the Companys equity compensation plans to reflect the reverse stock
split.
The trading of the Companys common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on a split-adjusted
basis will begin at the opening of trading on July 12, 2011. The Companys common stock is currently
trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol
SBSA, and following the reverse stock split it will
continue to trade under the same symbol with the letter D appended to the
trading symbol for a period of 20 trading days to indicate that the reverse stock split has
occurred, after which time it will revert to trading under the symbol SBSA.
The Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. On
July 11, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the reverse stock split. The press
release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. For further information related to the reverse stock split, please refer to the Companys
definitive proxy statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2011.
