Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


The Transaction Support Agreement relates to (a) the Company’s offers to each holder of its Existing Notes: (i) to exchange any and all of its outstanding Existing Notes for newly issued 7.625% second lien senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Exchange Notes”) and cash (the “Exchange Offer”), (ii) to purchase up to $185.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes for up to $111.0 million in cash (the “Tender Offer”) and (iii) the right to subscribe to purchase up to $60.6 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 10.500% first lien senior secured notes due 2030 (the “New First Lien Notes,” and, together with the Exchange Notes, collectively, the “New Notes” and such offering, the “Subscription Offer” and, together with the Exchange Offer and the Tender Offer, collectively, the “Offers”) and (b) the Company’s solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation” and together with the Offers, the “Offers and Consent Solicitation”) from holders of Existing Notes to the adoption of certain amendments to the indenture governing the Existing Notes and the related security documents to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions, modify covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modify or eliminate certain other provisions, including removing the requirement that the Company make an offer to repurchase the Existing Notes if the Company experiences certain change of control transactions, releasing the guarantees provided by the existing guarantors of the Existing Notes and eliminating any requirement to provide guarantees in the future with respect to the Existing Notes, releasing the liens on all of the collateral securing the Existing Notes and eliminating any requirement to provide collateral in the future with respect to the Existing Notes. The Offers and Consent Solicitation will be consummated on the terms set forth in a confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement (the “Offering Memorandum”) provided to holders of the Existing Notes.

Pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, each Supporting Noteholder has agreed to (i) tender the maximum amount accepted by the Company of its Existing Notes in the Tender Offer and the remaining portion of its Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer and deliver its related Consents in the Consent Solicitation and (ii) collectively with the other Supporting Noteholders, backstop the full Subscription Offer as set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement (the “Backstop Commitment”). In consideration for the Supporting Noteholders’ Backstop Commitment, the Company will pay to the Supporting Noteholders a premium in an amount equal to 3.0% of the total aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes issued in connection with the Subscription Offer and the Backstop Commitment, as set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement.

The Transaction Support Agreement includes representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions customary for agreements of this type, including the condition that a minimum of 98% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes shall have been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Exchange Offer and/or Tender Offer. The Transaction Support Agreement will, among other circumstances, terminate at the mutual written consent of the Company and the Supporting Noteholders, on the Settlement Date or on December 30, 2025 (subject to extension pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement) if the Settlement Date has not yet occurred.

The foregoing description of the Transaction Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made herein or in the cleansing materials may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including but not limited to any statements regarding the consummation of the Offers and Consent Solicitation, guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, future securities repurchase programs, business strategy and plans, cost saving initiatives, user growth and engagement and objectives of management for future operations. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements. In many cases, forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “would,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K reflect our views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events, as well as currently available data as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. While we believe there is a reasonable basis for our forward-looking statements, they involve a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ significantly from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement, including, but not limited to, the adverse impact of failing to consummate the Offers and Consent Solicitation, the risk that an insufficient number of holders of Existing Notes participate in the Offers and tender their Existing Notes and other risk factors described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Therefore, these statements are not guarantees of future events, results, performance or achievements, and you should not rely on them. All forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on information available to the Company as of the date on which such statements were made, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after such statements are made, except as required by law.

9.Backstop Obligation
(a)The Issuer shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered on behalf of the Issuer no later than the third Business Day (as defined below) prior to the Backstop Funding Deadline a written notice to each Supporting Noteholder (the “Funding Notice” and the date of such delivery, the “Funding Notice Date”) setting forth (a) the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes elected to be purchased by Noteholders, (b) the calculation of such Supporting Noteholder’s Backstop Commitment First Lien Notes and the aggregate purchase price therefor (the “Backstop Purchase Price”), (c) the Backstop Funding Deadline (as defined below) and (d) the details of the escrow account (the “Escrow Account”), including wiring information therefor, to which the Supporting Noteholders shall deliver and pay the Backstop Purchase Price.
(b)On the Expiration Date (the “Backstop Funding Deadline”), each Supporting Noteholder shall (i) deliver and pay its respective Backstop Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Escrow Account and (ii) provide to the Issuer its wiring information for payment of the Backstop Premium (as defined below).
(c)The Issuer shall instruct the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) to make disbursements from the Escrow Account only upon the consummation of the Offers.

(e)Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that to the extent that any Backstop Commitment First Lien Notes have not been settled or delivered on the Settlement Date due to any mechanical or administrative delay (including with respect to any actions to be taken involving DTC or any DTC participant or the First Lien Trustee), then the Issuer and the applicable Supporting Noteholder(s) shall use their reasonable best efforts to settle such issuance as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, irrespective of any such mechanical or administrative delay, (i) the issuance of the Backstop Commitment First Lien Notes shall be deemed to have occurred on the Settlement Date and (ii) the Backstop Commitment First Lien Notes shall accrue interest from (and including) the Settlement Date in accordance with the First Lien Indenture.

(g)In consideration for the Supporting Noteholders’ commitment to subscribe for and purchase Unsubscribed First Lien Notes, on the Settlement Date, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid a nonrefundable aggregate premium in cash in U.S. dollars in an amount equal to 3.0% of the total aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes issued in connection with the Subscription Offer to the Supporting Noteholders (other than any Defaulting Supporting Noteholders (as defined below)) based upon their respective Backstop Percentage at the time such payment is made (the “Backstop Premium”). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Backstop Premium will be payable regardless of the amount of Unsubscribed First Lien Notes actually purchased. The Backstop Premium shall only become due in the event that the Offers and Consent Solicitation are consummated upon the terms described in the Offering Memorandum. The Issuer may, with the consent of the applicable Supporting Noteholder (which consent may be given via email between counsel to the Parties), elect to deduct the amount owed to such Supporting Noteholder in respect of its Backstop Premium from the Backstop Purchase Price in lieu of separately funding the Backstop Premium. Any such election will be reflected in the Funding Notice; provided that, to the extent any Supporting Noteholder does not provide such consent, such Supporting Noteholder will provide to the Company (2) Business Days prior to the Settlement Date its wire instructions for the payment of its portion of the Backstop Premium.
(h)On or before the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Funding Notice Date (the “Designation Deadline”), any Supporting Noteholder may assign all or a portion of its Backstop Commitment Percentage hereunder to (i) any (A) affiliate of such Supporting Noteholder or (B) investment fund, account, vehicle or other entity that is administered, managed, or advised by such Supporting Noteholder, its affiliates or any entity or affiliate of such entity that administers, advises, or manages such Supporting Noteholder (as set forth in this clause (i), collectively, such Supporting Noteholder’s “Related Funds”) or (ii) any other Supporting Noteholder that is a party to this Agreement as of the Agreement Effective Date (any such assignment permitted by clauses (i) through (ii), a “Permitted Backstop Assignment”), in each case, pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided that the Supporting Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Section 9 and the Backstop Commitment Percentages hereunder shall not otherwise be assignable by the Supporting Noteholders without the prior written consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, further, that the assigning Supporting Noteholder shall provide written notice of any Permitted Backstop Assignment to the Issuer promptly following such Permitted Backstop Assignment (and, in any event, by the earlier to occur of (x) three Business Days following such Permitted Backstop Assignment and (y) the Designation Deadline); provided, further, that prior to the Designation Deadline, the Supporting Noteholders shall amend the Backstop Commitment Schedule to reflect any such assignments permitted under this Section 9.
(i)Each Supporting Noteholder shall have the right to designate by written notice to the Issuer and Davis Polk no later than the Designation Deadline that some or all of the First Lien Notes that it is obligated to purchase on account of its Backstop Commitment Percentage be issued in the name of, and delivered to, a Related Fund of such Supporting Noteholder on the Settlement Date (in each case, it being understood that payment by either the Related Fund or the Supporting Noteholder shall satisfy the applicable payment obligations of the Supporting Noteholder).
(j)No later than the Designation Deadline, each Supporting Noteholder shall have provided Davis Polk, Issuer and Kirkland & Ellis with the information concerning such Supporting Noteholder that is necessary for the (i) final version of the Backstop Commitment Schedule and (ii) final version of the “DWAC Closing Exhibit” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, in each case, reflecting any assignments or designations pursuant to the terms of Sections 9(h) and 9(i) above and containing any additional information reasonably requested by the Issuer, Kirkland & Ellis or the trustees for the New Notes.
(k)Any Related Fund of a Supporting Noteholder may satisfy the obligations of such Supporting Noteholder to fund the purchase of First Lien Notes (in whole or in part) on account of such Supporting Noteholder’s Backstop Commitment Percentage.
10
    


(l)In the event that any Supporting Noteholder (any such Supporting Noteholder, a “Defaulting Supporting Noteholder” and any such failure, a “Supporting Noteholder Default”) fails to deliver and pay the Backstop Purchase Price for such Supporting Noteholder’s Backstop Commitment First Lien Notes by the Backstop Funding Deadline, the Supporting Noteholders (other than any Defaulting Supporting Noteholder) shall have the right and opportunity (but not the obligation), within one Business Day after receipt of written notice from the Issuer to all Supporting Noteholders of such Supporting Noteholder Default, which notice shall be given promptly following the occurrence of the Supporting Noteholder Default and to all Supporting Noteholders substantially concurrently, to make arrangements for one or more of the Supporting Noteholders to purchase all or any portion of such Defaulting Supporting Noteholder’s Backstop Commitment First Lien Notes (a “Defaulting Supporting Noteholder Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts as may be agreed upon by all of the Supporting Noteholders electing to purchase all or any portion of such Backstop Commitment First Lien Notes (such Supporting Noteholders, the “Replacing Supporting Noteholders”) or, if no such agreement is reached by the Replacing Supporting Noteholders, shall be based upon the relative applicable Backstop Percentages of the Replacing Supporting Noteholders (other than any Defaulting Supporting Noteholder). If a Supporting Noteholder Default occurs, the Settlement Date shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to allow for the Defaulting Supporting Noteholder Replacement to be completed. In the event of a Defaulting Supporting Noteholder Replacement, the Backstop Premium allocable to any such Defaulting Supporting Noteholder shall be reallocated to the Replacing Supporting Noteholders in accordance with the percentage of such Defaulting Supporting Noteholder’s Backstop Commitment First Lien Notes purchased by each Replacing Supporting Noteholder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Supporting Noteholder is a Defaulting Supporting Noteholder, it shall not be entitled to any of the Backstop Premium applicable to such Defaulting Supporting Noteholder or indemnification provided, or to be provided, under or in connection with this Agreement.
(m)The Issuer and the Supporting Noteholders agree to treat, for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes, (i) the Backstop Premium as “put” premium, (ii) each of the exchange of any Existing Notes for the Exchange Consideration in the Exchange Offer, the tendering of any Existing Notes for the Tender Consideration (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) in the Tender Offer and/or the acquiring of First Lien Notes for cash in the Subscription Offer as separate transactions, and (iii) the exchange of Existing Notes for the Exchange Notes and Exchange Consideration pursuant to the Exchange Offer as not constituting a “significant modification” of the Existing Notes within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations. The Issuer and Supporting Noteholders agree that five (5) percent or more of all First Lien Notes offered pursuant to the Subscription Offer shall be considered a “substantial amount” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(a)(1)). The Issuer and the Supporting Noteholders shall file all tax returns (if applicable) consistent with, and take no position inconsistent with, the foregoing tax treatment (whether in any audit, tax return or otherwise), unless required to do so pursuant to a change in law following the Agreement Effective Date or a “determination” as defined under Section 1313(a) of the Code. Any capitalized terms used in this Section 9(m) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offering Memorandum.

Each of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, on the one hand, and each Supporting Noteholder, on its behalf and on behalf of its respective Related Parties, on the other hand (each, a “Releasor”), hereby expressly agrees that the release contemplated by this Section 15 extends to any and all rights granted under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”) or any analogous state law or federal law or regulation are hereby expressly waived. Section 1542 reads as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
15
    


Each Releasor understands that Section 1542, or a comparable statute, rule, regulation or order of another jurisdiction, gives such party the right not to release existing claims of which such party is not aware, unless such party voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Having been so apprised, each Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, nevertheless hereby voluntarily elects to and does waive the rights described in Section 1542, or such other comparable statute, rule, regulation or order, and elects to assume all risks for claims that exist, existed or may hereafter exist in its favor, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or related to claims or other matters purported to be released pursuant to this Section 15. Each Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement and that, without such waiver, the other parties would not have agreed to the terms of this Agreement. Each Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, hereby represents to the other parties hereto that it understands and acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts and legal theories concerning such other parties or the subject matter hereof in addition to or different from those which it now believes to be true. Such Releasor understands and hereby agrees that the release set forth in this Section 15 shall remain effective in all respects notwithstanding those additional or different facts and legal theories or the discovery of those additional or different facts or legal theories. Such Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, assumes the risk of any mistake of fact or applicable law with regard to any potential claim or with regard to any of the facts that are now unknown to it relating thereto.
Each Releasor agrees and acknowledges that the Released Claims include Claims which such Releasor does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of the giving of the foregoing releases and covenants not to sue which, if known by it, might affect its decision regarding the releases and covenants not to sue set forth herein. Each Releasor agrees and acknowledges that it might hereafter discover facts or documents in addition to or different from those which it now knows or believes to be true or exist with respect to the subject matter of any of the Released Claims, but no Releasor in any capacity shall have any duty to disclose or provide any such facts or documents (whether material or immaterial, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen) to any other party, and each Releasor shall be deemed to have fully, finally and forever settled and released any and all Released Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein is intended to impair or otherwise derogate from any of the representations, warranties or covenants expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Definitive Documents, the Existing Notes Indenture or any Security Document (as defined under the Existing Notes Indenture) or limit or otherwise excuse any obligation of the Issuer or its applicable subsidiaries under this Agreement, the Definitive Documents, indentures governing the New Notes, the New Notes, or any of the documents referenced therein executed in connection therewith or any of the rights of the noteholders under such respective documents.
For the purposes of this Section 15, “Related Parties” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, such person’s Affiliates, all funds managed or advised by it or by its Affiliates, and each of the predecessors, successors, assigns, current and former managers, directors, officers, members, shareholders, unitholders, equityholders (regardless of whether such interests are held directly or indirectly), limited partners, general partners, investment committee members, managing members, principals, employees, agents, trustees, representatives, attorneys, accountants and each regulatory, legal, investment, financial, and other advisors and other consultants, and professionals and subadvisors of or to such person and of or to such person’s Affiliates, each of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the existing trustee and notes collateral agent for the Existing Notes, in its capacity as such; “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to a specified person, any other person, directly or indirectly Controlling or Controlled by or under direct or indirect common Control with such specified person; provided, that the Issuer and its subsidiaries, Affiliates of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, any portfolio company of the Supporting Noteholders or any Affiliates of any portfolio company of the Supporting Noteholders (which entities are not otherwise Affiliates of the Supporting Noteholders and would only be deemed Affiliates pursuant to their relationship with one or more portfolio companies of the Supporting Noteholders) shall not be deemed an Affiliate of any Supporting Noteholder; and “Control,” “Controlling” or “Controlled” means, as to a specified person, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

16.Indemnification
Without limiting the Issuer’s obligations under the indenture governing the Existing Notes, the indentures governing the New Notes, the other Definitive Documents or any related guarantees, security documents, agreements, amendments, instruments or other relevant documents, the Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Supporting Noteholder and each of its affiliates and all their respective officers, directors, members, partners, trustees, employees, shareholders, advisors, agents, and other representatives of each of the foregoing and their respective successors and permitted assigns (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, obligations, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, disbursements and liabilities, joint or several, of any kind or nature whatsoever (including Taxes other than income Taxes of the Supporting Noteholders and including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnified Party (subject to the remainder of this sentence) and any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs associated with any discovery or other information requests), whether direct, indirect, special, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state, or foreign laws, statutes, rules, or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules, or regulations), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, the Offers and Consent Solicitation, the Transactions, or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, actual or threatened, relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not the Transactions are consummated (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to those of (x) Davis Polk and (y) solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to all such persons, taken as a whole and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional local counsel to all affected Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, in each such relevant material jurisdiction) (such foregoing amounts, “Losses”), and to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any such legal or other expense reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person promptly (and within 30 days) following written demand therefor (together with reasonable backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, that no Indemnified Person will be entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any Loss to the extent that it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Loss arises from (i) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement by, such Indemnified Person (or any of its Related Parties (as defined below)) (it being agreed that a Supporting Noteholder’s compliance with this Agreement and the transactions expressly contemplated hereby shall not be deemed bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) any disputes solely among Indemnified Persons and not arising out of any act or omission of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.
The Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding (or expenses relating thereto) effected without the Issuer’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Issuer’s written consent, or if there is a final judgment against an Indemnified Person in any such proceeding, the Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person to the extent and in the manner set forth above and to pay any Losses to the Indemnified Person promptly on the terms set forth in such judgment or settlement or, to the extent no payment terms are set forth in such judgment or settlement, within 30 days following written demand therefor. The Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, (b) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability, and (c) includes customary confidentiality and non-disparagement agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Person shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Issuer under this paragraph to such Indemnified Person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to the extent such Indemnified Person is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
The indemnity and expense reimbursement obligations set forth herein (i) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, (ii) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Supporting Noteholders or any other Indemnified Person and (iii) shall be binding on any successor or assign of the Issuer and the successors or assigns to any substantial portion of their respective business and assets.

This Agreement and any claim, outstanding or dispute relating to, or arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to such state’s (or any other jurisdiction’s) rules concerning conflicts of laws that might provide for any other choice of law. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party, and the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of any court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.
18.Jurisdiction
Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court in the Borough of Manhattan in the City, County and State of New York, United States of America, in any legal suit, action or proceeding based on or arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court.

19.Relationship Between Supporting Noteholders
Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the duties and obligations of the Supporting Noteholders under this Agreement shall be several, not joint, (b) none of the Supporting Noteholders shall have any duty, whether a fiduciary duty or otherwise, to any other Supporting Noteholders, the Issuers or any of their respective affiliates or to any other creditor, stakeholder, person or entity simply by being a party to this Agreement, and (c) other than as expressly set forth herein, there are no commitments among or between the Supporting Noteholders.

No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between any of the Supporting Noteholders and/or the Issuer and its subsidiaries shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. The Parties have no agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any securities of any of the Issuer and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Supporting Noteholder by the Issuer and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Issuer. The decision to commit to enter into the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Definitive Documents have been made independently.
18

URBAN ONE, INC. ANNOUNCES OFFERS AND CONSENT SOLICITATION

Silver Spring, MD: - Urban One, Inc. (NASDAQ: UONEK and UONE) (the “Company”) today announced that it has commenced an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of the Company’s outstanding 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Existing Notes”) held by Eligible Holders (as defined below) for newly issued 7.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the “Exchange Notes”), to be issued by the Company and guaranteed by each existing and future subsidiaries of the Company, and cash.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company has commenced an offer to purchase (the “Tender Offer”) up to $185.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes for up to $111.0 million in cash. To the extent Existing Notes in a principal amount greater than $185.0 million are tendered into the Tender Offer, the Tender Offer will be oversubscribed, and Existing Notes accepted in the Tender Offer will be subject to proration, as described below. Eligible Holders will only be entitled to participate in the Tender Offer if they elect to exchange all of their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer other than those Existing Notes, if any, accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company is also offering Eligible Holders the right to subscribe to purchase (the “Subscription Offer” and, together with the Exchange Offer and the Tender Offer, collectively, the “Offers”) up to $60.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.500% first lien senior secured notes due 2030 (the “New First Lien Notes” and, together with the Exchange Notes, the “New Notes”). Eligible Holders will only be entitled to participate in the Subscription Offer if they tender all of their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer only or in the Exchange Offer and Tender Offer. Furthermore, to be eligible to participate in the Subscription Offer, Eligible Holders must tender their Existing Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date (as defined below) and deliver in cash an amount equal to the purchase price therefor by the Funding Deadline (as defined below).
In addition, the Company is soliciting consents (the “Consents” and such solicitation, the “Consent Solicitation”) from Eligible Holders of the Existing Notes to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the “Existing Notes Indenture”) to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions, modify covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modify or eliminate certain other provisions, including removing the requirement that the Company make an offer to repurchase the Existing Notes if the Company experiences certain change of control transactions, releasing the guarantees provided by the guarantors of the Existing Notes, and eliminating any requirement to provide guarantees in the future with respect to the Existing Notes, releasing the liens on all of the collateral securing the Existing Notes and eliminating any requirement to provide collateral in the future with respect to the Existing Notes (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”).
The Company’s obligation to accept for exchange or purchase Existing Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and to issue New First Lien Notes pursuant to the Offers and the related Consent Solicitation is subject to the satisfaction or, if permitted, waiver of certain conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated November 14, 2025 (the “Offering Memorandum”).


    


On November 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Transaction Support Agreement (the “Transaction Support Agreement”) with certain holders (the “Supporting Noteholders”) of Existing Notes that collectively hold approximately 73% of the outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes as of November 13, 2025. Pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, each Supporting Noteholder has agreed to (i) tender the maximum amount accepted by the Company of its Existing Notes in the Tender Offer and the remaining portion of its Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer and deliver its related Consents in the Consent Solicitation and (ii) collectively with the other Supporting Noteholders, backstop the full Subscription Offer as set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement (the “Backstop Commitment”). In consideration for the Supporting Noteholders’ Backstop Commitment, the Company will pay to the Supporting Noteholders a premium in an amount equal to 3.0% of the total aggregate principal amount of New First Lien Notes issued in connection with the Subscription Offer and the Backstop Commitment, as set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement. The Transaction Support Agreement includes representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions customary for agreements of this type, including the condition that a minimum of 98% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes shall have been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Exchange Offer and/or Tender Offer.
The Offers and the Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on December 15, 2025, unless extended (such time and date as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”), or earlier terminated. To be eligible to participate in the Subscription Offer, Eligible Holders must tender their Existing Notes at or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on December 1, 2025, unless extended by the Company (such time and date as it may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”) and deliver in cash an amount equal to the purchase price therefor by 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on December 3, 2025, unless extended (such time and date as it may be extended, the “Funding Deadline”).

No additional consideration will be paid for Consents. The Early Tender Date, the Funding Deadline or the Expiration Date with respect to the Offers and Consent Solicitation can be extended independently of the Withdrawal Deadline for the Offers and Consent Solicitation.
Each participating Eligible Holder must tender all of the Existing Notes it holds for purchase in the Tender Offer and/or exchange in the Exchange Offer. Partial tenders of Existing Notes will not be accepted.
The Existing Notes will only be accepted for exchange or purchase by the Company in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.
The Company will not accept any tender of Existing Notes that would result in the issuance of less than $2,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will only be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If, pursuant to the Offers and Consent Solicitation, a tendering Eligible Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive Exchange Notes in a principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000, such principal amount will be rounded down to the nearest integral multiple of $1,000. This rounded amount will be the principal amount of Exchange Notes that Eligible Holders will receive, and no additional cash will be paid in lieu of any principal amount of Exchange Notes not received as a result of rounding down.
The New First Lien Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
