NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- (1)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The Company’s results are subject to seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
- (2)
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that requires entities to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses including the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption, as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Additionally, entities will need to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing the new guidance.
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance which requires additional disclosures primarily related to the Company's income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing the new guidance.

On February 2, 2021, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due on February 1, 2026 (the “Prior Notes”) under an indenture dated February 2, 2021 (the “Prior Notes Indenture”). Interest on the Prior Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Prior Notes are secured on a first-lien priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries and are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.
On October 8, 2024 (the “Settlement Date”), Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries, completed: (i) the exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) of $194.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes (representing 72.9% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Prior Notes) for (a) $184.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s newly issued 9.200% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due August 1, 2028 (the “Exchange Notes”) at an exchange ratio of 95.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes tendered for exchange, (b) 179,383 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, based upon pro rata ownership of the Exchange Notes issued by the Issuer, and (c) certain cash payments aggregating approximately $1.7 million; (ii) the purchase of $68.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes at a purchase price of 62.5% plus accrued and unpaid interest (such offer, the “Tender Offer”); and (iii) the issuance by the Issuer of $30.9 million aggregate principal amount of 11.000% Senior Secured First Lien notes due August 1, 2028 (the “New Notes,” and such offering, the “New Notes Offer”) to holders of Prior Notes or their designees who participated in the Exchange Offer, including to certain backstop commitment parties who committed to purchase the New Notes not otherwise subscribed for. The Company used the proceeds from the New Notes Offer of $30.0 million to fund, in part, the purchase of Prior Notes tendered in the Tender Offer.
On the Settlement Date, the Issuer entered into (i) a new indenture (the “New Notes Indenture”) governing its New Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by substantially all of the assets, other than certain excluded property, of the Issuer and the guarantors (the “Collateral”) on a senior secured first-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens and (ii) a new indenture (the “Exchange Notes Indenture”) governing its Exchange Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by liens on the Collateral on a senior secured second-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens, in each case with the guarantors thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, with respect to both the Exchange Notes Indenture and New Notes Indenture. On the Settlement Date, the Issuer also entered into a Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, supplementing the Prior Notes Indenture. The New Notes Indenture and the Exchange Notes Indenture contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of such subsidiaries, preferred stock; pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; create liens; enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers; consolidate, merge, sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; prepay certain kinds of indebtedness; and issue or sell stock of its subsidiaries.
As the aggregate undiscounted future principal and interest payments under the Exchange Notes and New Notes were greater than the net carrying amount of the Prior Notes at the time of the debt restructuring, the carrying amount of the debt was not adjusted, and a new effective interest rate was calculated as the discount rate that equates the present value of the future cash payments specified by the new terms with the carrying amount of the debt. The carrying amount of the debt was reduced by the fair value of the shares of our Class A Common Stock issued to holders of the Prior Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer of $2.2 million. The Company capitalized $2.6 million in fees paid to the lenders in connection with the debt restructuring, consisting of certain cash payments made to holders of Prior Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer and a 3.0% participation premium paid to the holders of Prior Notes who participated in the New Notes Offer. The Company incurred $6.0 million in debt restructuring costs, primarily consisting of legal fees, financial advisory services, and other professional expenses directly related to the debt restructuring, which were expensed.
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the Prior Notes for a price equal to 65% of the principal amount and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the repurchase.

The transaction price is allocated to performance obligations based on executed contracts, which represent relative standalone selling prices. Payment is generally due within 30 days, although certain advertisers are required to pay in advance. Revenues are reported at the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive under the contract. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheets. Substantially all deferred revenue is recognized within 12 months of the payment date.

Audio revenue includes revenue from the sale or trade of aired commercial spots to advertisers directly or through national, regional or local advertising agencies. Each commercial spot is considered a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the commercial spots have aired. Trade sales are recorded at the estimated fair value of the goods or services received. If commercial spots are aired before the goods or services are received, then a trade sales receivable is recorded. If goods or services are received before the commercial spots are aired, then a trade sales payable is recorded. Other revenue includes revenue from concerts,
promotional events, talent fees and other miscellaneous items. Such revenue is generally recognized when the concert, promotional event, or talent services are completed.

Digital revenue includes revenue from the sale of streamed commercial spots, station-owned assets and third-party products. Each streamed commercial spot, station-owned asset and third-party product is considered a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the commercial spots have streamed. Station-owned assets are generally scheduled over a period of time and revenue is recognized over time as the digital items are used for advertising content, except for streamed commercial spots. Third-party products are generally scheduled over a period of time with an impression target each month. Revenue from the sale of third-party products is recognized over time as the digital items are used for advertising content and impression targets are met each month. The Company assesses each digital sales order to determine if the Company is operating as the principal or an agent. The Company currently operates as the principal for digital revenue.

On June 25, 2025, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of the Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan, among other things, permits the Company to issue up to 300,000 shares of Class A common stock in the form of equity-based awards, including restricted stock units, shares of restricted stock and stock options, to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The restricted stock units that will be granted under the 2025 Plan will generally vest over one to five years of service.
The 2025 Plan replaced the Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2007 Plan”), and no further awards will be granted under the 2007 Plan. However, the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder.
A summary of restricted stock unit activity under the 2007 Plan is presented below:
| Units | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unvested as of April 1, 2025 | 78,126 | $ | 13.55 | ||
| Granted | - | - | |||

| Forfeited | (3,050 | ) | 10.50 | ||
| Unvested as of June 30, 2025 | 60,426 | $ | 11.99 |
As of June 30, 2025, there was $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for restricted stock units granted under the 2007 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.2
years.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 21% and 144% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, and 64% and 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

Financial Statement Presentation
The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our financial statements and general factors that impact these items.
Net Revenue. Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of commercial spots to advertisers directly or through national, regional or local advertising agencies. Revenues are reported at the amount we expect to be entitled to receive under the contract.
Local revenue generally consists of commercial advertising sales, digital advertising sales and other sales to advertisers in a station’s local market, either directly to the advertiser or through the advertiser’s agency. National revenue generally consists of commercial advertising sales through advertiser agencies. National advertiser agencies generally purchase advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions.
Our net revenue is generally determined by the advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels. Advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:
- a station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers as measured principally by periodic reports issued by Nielsen Audio;
- the number of stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups;
- the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time; and
- the size of the market.
Our net revenue is affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our radio market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the radio broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our revenues typically are lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year. In addition, our revenues tend to fluctuate between years, consistent with, among other things, increased advertising expenditures in even-numbered years by political candidates, political parties and special interest groups. This political spending typically is heaviest during the fourth quarter of such years.
We use trade sales agreements to reduce cash paid for operating costs and expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services; however, we endeavor to minimize trade revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime.
We also continue to invest in digital support services to develop and promote our station websites, applications, and other distribution platforms. We derive revenue from our websites through the sale of advertiser promotions and advertising on our websites and the sale of advertising airtime during audio streaming of our stations over the internet. We also generate revenue from selling third-party digital products and services.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of programming, engineering, sales, advertising and promotion, and general and administrative expenses incurred at our stations. We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our market clusters.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:
- it involves a significant level of estimation uncertainty; and
- changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our critical accounting estimates are described in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no additional material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Our effective tax rate was 21% and 144% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

Net Revenue. Net revenue decreased $12.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Audio revenue decreased $12.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in agency revenue. Digital revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was comparable to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased $8.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Audio operating expenses decreased $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to continued expense management in the audio segment. Digital operating expenses decreased $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to expense management in the digital segment and the closure of our digital agency, Guarantee Digital in 2024.
Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses decreased $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in compensation expenses.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to amortization of a deferred interest premium recorded as a result of the debt restructure in October 2024.
Gain on Repurchase of Long-Term Debt. In the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the Prior Notes for a price equal to 65% of the principal amount and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the repurchase.
Gain on Sale of Investment. On March 8, 2024, we received $6.0 million related to the sale of an investment in Broadcast Music, Inc. and recorded a gain of $6.0 million.
Income Tax Benefit. Our effective tax rate was 64% and 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
Net Loss. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.8 million compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as a result of the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview. Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow and cash on hand. In addition, as noted in “Recent Developments” above, we expect to receive an aggregate of $26.0 million in the second half of 2025 in connection with certain asset sales. Our primary liquidity needs have been, and for the next twelve months and thereafter are expected to continue to be, for working capital, debt service, and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and station acquisitions. Historically, our capital expenditures have not been significant. In addition to property and equipment associated with station acquisitions, our capital expenditures have generally been, and are expected to continue to be, related to the maintenance of our office and studio space, the maintenance of our towers and equipment, and digital products and information technology. We have also purchased or constructed office and studio space in some of our markets to facilitate the consolidation of our operations.
Our Board of Directors ("Board") has suspended future quarterly dividend payments until it is determined that resumption of dividend payments is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, as discussed in “Secured Notes” below, the Indenture governing our Notes limits our ability to pay dividends.
Secured Notes. On February 2, 2021, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due on February 1, 2026 (the “Prior Notes”) under an indenture dated February 2, 2021 (the “Prior Notes Indenture”). Interest on the Prior Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Prior Notes are secured on a first-lien priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries and are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.
On October 8, 2024 (the “Settlement Date”), Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries, completed: (i) the exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) of $194.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes (representing 72.9% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Prior Notes) for (a) $184.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s newly issued 9.200% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due August 1, 2028 (the “Exchange Notes”) at an exchange ratio of 95.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes tendered for exchange, (b) 179,383 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, based upon pro rata ownership of the Exchange Notes issued by the Issuer, and (c) certain cash payments aggregating approximately $1.7 million; (ii) the purchase of $68.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes at a purchase price of 62.5% plus accrued and unpaid interest (such offer, the “Tender Offer”); and (iii) the issuance by the Issuer of $30.9 million aggregate principal amount of 11.000% Senior Secured First Lien notes due August 1, 2028 (the “New Notes,” and such offering, the “New Notes Offer”) to holders of Prior Notes or their designees who participated in the Exchange Offer, including to certain backstop commitment parties who committed to purchase the New Notes not otherwise subscribed for. The Company used the proceeds from the New Notes Offer of $30.0 million to fund, in part, the purchase of Prior Notes tendered in the Tender Offer.
On the Settlement Date, the Issuer entered into (i) a new indenture (the “New Notes Indenture”) governing its New Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by substantially all of the assets, other than certain excluded property, of the Issuer and the guarantors (the “Collateral”) on a senior secured first-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens and (ii) a new indenture (the “Exchange Notes Indenture”) governing its Exchange Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by liens on the Collateral on a senior secured second-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens,
in each case with the guarantors thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, with respect to both the Exchange Notes Indenture and New Notes Indenture. On the Settlement Date, the Issuer also entered into a Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, supplementing the Prior Notes Indenture. The New Notes Indenture and the Exchange Notes Indenture contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of such subsidiaries, preferred stock; pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; create liens; enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; prepay certain kinds of indebtedness; and issue or sell stock of its subsidiaries.
As the aggregate undiscounted future principal and interest payments under the Exchange Notes and New Notes were greater than the net carrying amount of the Prior Notes at the time of the debt restructuring, the carrying amount of the debt was not adjusted and a new effective interest rate was calculated as the discount rate that equates the present value of the future cash payments specified by the new terms with the carrying amount of the debt. The carrying amount of the debt was reduced by the fair value of the shares of our Class A Common Stock issued to holders of the Prior Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer of $2.2 million. The Company capitalized approximately $2.6 million in fees paid to the lenders in connection with the debt restructuring, consisting of certain cash payments made to holders of Prior Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer and a 3.0% participation premium paid to the holders of Prior Notes who participated in the New Notes Offer. The Company incurred approximately $6.0 million in debt restructuring costs, primarily consisting of legal fees, financial advisory services, and other professional expenses directly related to the debt restructuring, which were expensed.
In the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the Prior Notes for a price equal to 65% of the principal amount and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the repurchase.
From time to time, we repurchase sufficient shares of our Class A Common Stock to fund withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units. We paid approximately $27,000 to repurchase 5,072 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2025. From time to time, we may seek to repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire our Prior Notes, New Notes and Exchange Notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases, redemptions or other transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
We expect to provide for future liquidity needs through one or a combination of the following sources of liquidity:
- internally generated cash flow;
- additional borrowings or notes offerings, to the extent permitted under the Prior Notes Indenture, New Notes Indenture and Exchange Notes Indenture; and
- additional equity offerings.
We believe we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit us to provide for our liquidity requirements and meet our financial obligations for the next 12 months and thereafter. However, poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could give rise to default under the Prior Notes Indenture, New Notes Indenture and Exchange Notes Indenture, additional debt servicing requirements or other additional financing or liquidity requirements sooner than we expect, and we may not secure financing when needed or on acceptable terms.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025.
Cash Flows. The following summary table presents a comparison of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025 with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Exhibit A
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.
general
Award of RSUs. The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Stock or, at the option of the Company, an amount of cash, in either case, as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any shares of Stock or payment of any cash until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.
Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.
VESTING; forfeiture AND SETTLEMENT
Vesting. The RSUs will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice except that any fraction of an RSU that would otherwise be vested will be accumulated and will vest only when a whole RSU has accumulated.
[Acceleration of RSUs Upon Death or Disability. If Participant ceases to be an Eligible Individual as a result of Participant’s termination of service with the Company or a Subsidiary due to Participant’s death or Disability, then, effective as of immediately prior to the date Participant ceases to be an Eligible Individual, a number of RSUs shall vest in an amount equal to the number of RSUs otherwise scheduled to vest on the first vesting date following the date Participant ceases to be an Eligible Individual multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period beginning on and including the vesting date that immediately preceded the date Participant ceases to be an Eligible Individual (or since the Grant Date if no vesting date occurs prior to the date Participant ceases to be an Eligible Individual) and ending on and including the date Participant ceases to be an Eligible Individual and the denominator of which is 365. Any RSUs which have not vested or do not vest prior to the date Participant ceases to be an Eligible Individual as a result of Participant’s termination of service due to death or Disability, after giving effect to the vesting acceleration provided in this Section 2.2, shall be forfeited and Participant’s rights in any such RSUs shall lapse and expire.]
Change in Control. Notwithstanding any contrary terms of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, provide that the RSUs shall vest in full in connection with such Change in Control; provided, that no such vesting acceleration shall occur if, in connection with the Change in Control, the RSUs are assumed or substituted by a surviving corporation retaining the services of Participant.
Forfeiture. In the event Participant ceases to be an Eligible Individual for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Committee or as provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company.
Settlement
RSUs will be paid in shares of Stock or cash at the Company’s option as soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of the applicable RSU, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the RSU’s vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay any payment under this Agreement that the Company
reasonably determines would violate applicable law until the earliest date the Company reasonably determines the making of the payment will not cause such a violation (in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii)), provided the Company reasonably believes the delay will not result in the imposition of excise taxes under Section 409A of the Code.
If an RSU is paid in cash, the amount of cash paid with respect to the RSU will equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the day immediately preceding the payment date.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
Tax Withholding.
The Company and its Subsidiaries may withhold or Participant may make payment for any withholding tax arising in connection with the RSUs in one or more of the following forms: (i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by check made payable to the Company or the Subsidiary with respect to which the withholding obligation arises, (ii) by deduction of such amounts from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Participant or (iii) unless otherwise determined by the Committee, by requesting the Company retain vested shares of Stock otherwise issuable with respect to the RSUs having a Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount of such tax withholding obligations based on the minimum statutory withholding rate; provided, that, if such amounts are due during a period in which Participant is prohibited from trading shares of Stock under any Company policy, the Exchange Act or other applicable law, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Participant’s tax withholding obligation shall automatically be satisfied in accordance with clause (iii) of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment of any withholding tax arising in connection with the RSUs as Participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding tax in accordance with clause (iii) of this Section.
Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of shares of Stock. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
other provisions
Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and shares of Stock subject to the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.
Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed, and, to the extent applicable laws, rules and regulations permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent applicable laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement.
Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash or the shares of Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.
Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to applicable law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.
