ATLANTA, GA — June 8, 2022 – Cumulus Media Inc. (NASDAQ: CMLS) (the “Company” or “Cumulus Media”) today announced that Cumulus Media New Holdings Inc., its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) of its existing $100 million revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity from 2025 to 2027 subject to certain springing maturity conditions. As of June 8, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Mary G. Berner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cumulus Media, said “By extending the ABL through 2027, we are locking in a long-term, favorable source of liquidity – enhancing our already strong balance sheet and increasing our financial flexibility as we continue to evolve from a one-dimensional radio broadcaster to a multi-dimensional audio media company. This action follows the expiration of the $25 million tender offer pursuant to our $50 million share buyback program and demonstrates our continuing commitment to making operational and financial decisions that enhance shareholder value.”
