Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 21, 2021, Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), priced its offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) in a transaction (the “Offering”) exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The size of the Offering was increased by $20.0 million from the previously announced offering size of $280.0 million. The Notes are expected to be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company’s existing domestic majority owned subsidiaries and certain future material domestic majority owned subsidiaries on a senior secured first-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions. The Issuer expects to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay in full existing indebtedness under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities and certain other indebtedness, with remaining proceeds to be added to the Issuer’s balance sheet and used for general corporate purposes. The consummation of the Offering is expected to occur on February 2, 2021, subject to customary conditions.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”).

This Report is for information purposes only and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. When issued, the Notes the Issuer intends to offer will not have been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Report that are “forward-looking statements” are based upon current expectations and assumptions, and involve certain risks and uncertainties within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or expressions such as “intends,” “expected” or “expects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the expected Notes offering. Key risks are described in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Readers should note that forward-looking statements are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties and may be impacted by several factors, including:

 

   

the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its potential effects on the economic environment and the Company’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and the increased risk of impairments of the Company’s Federal Communications Commission licenses and/or goodwill, as well as any changes to federal, state or local government laws, regulations or orders in connection with the pandemic;

 

   

external economic forces that could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s advertising revenues and results of operations; and

 

   

other economic, business, competitive, and regulatory factors affecting the businesses of the Company, including those set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
