Exhibit 99.5
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Asset Purchase Agreement
On April 17, 2024, MediaCo Holding Inc., an Indiana corporation (“MediaCo” or “the Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary MediaCo Operations LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Estrella Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Estrella”), and SLF LBI Aggregator, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Aggregator”) and affiliate of HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS”), pursuant to which Purchaser purchased substantially all of the assets of Estrella and its subsidiaries (other than certain broadcast assets owned by Estrella and
its subsidiaries (the “Estrella Broadcast Assets”)) (the “Purchased Assets”), and assumed substantially all of the liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”) of Estrella and its subsidiaries (the foregoing collectively, the “Estrella Acquisition”).
MediaCo provided the following consideration for the Purchased Assets (the “Transaction Consideration”):
| a. |
A warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 28,206,152 shares of MediaCo’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”);
|
| b. |
60,000 shares of a newly designated series of MediaCo’s preferred stock designated as “Series B Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred Stock”),
|
| c. |
A term loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below) (the “Second Lien Term Loan”); and
|
| d. |
An aggregate cash payment in the amount of approximately $25.5 million to be used, in part, for the repayment of certain indebtedness of Estrella and payment of certain Estrella transaction
expenses, financed through the First Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below).
|
The shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Option Agreement (as defined below) represent approximately 43% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on a fully diluted basis (assuming the full exercise of the Warrant and the Option Agreement (as defined below)).
Option Agreement
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, MediaCo and Purchaser entered into an Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement” and,
together with the Estrella Acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the Network Affiliation Agreement (as defined below) and the Network Program Supply Agreement (as defined below), each as described below, collectively, the “Estrella
Transaction”) with Estrella and certain subsidiaries of Estrella pursuant to which (i) Purchaser was granted the option to purchase 100% of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Estrella holding the Estrella Broadcast Assets (the “Option
Subsidiaries Equity”) in exchange for 7,051,538 shares of Class A common stock, and (ii) Estrella was granted the right to put the Option Subsidiaries Equity to Purchaser for 7,051,538 shares of Class A
common stock beginning six months after the date of the closing of the Estrella Transaction (the “Closing Date”) and ending on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, which will automatically extend for a renewal term of seven additional years
unless both parties mutually agree otherwise.
Voting and Support Agreement
The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that MediaCo will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy statement to
be sent to MediaCo stockholders relating to a special meeting of MediaCo stockholders (the “Stockholders Meeting”) to be held to consider approval of the issuance of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of
shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Option Agreement (the “Proposal”).
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, SG Broadcasting LLC (“SG Broadcasting”), the holder of shares of Class A common stock
and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B common stock”) representing a majority of the voting power of the shares of MediaCo, entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with MediaCo and Estrella (the “Voting and Support
Agreement”), pursuant to which SG Broadcasting agreed to, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at any meeting of MediaCo stockholders (including the Stockholders Meeting), or at any adjournment or
postponement thereof, vote in favor of the Proposal and against any action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Proposal. The Voting Agreement also includes certain customary restrictions on
SG Broadcasting’s ability to transfer its shares of MediaCo stock. The Voting Agreement will automatically terminate upon the date on which the Proposal is approved.
Warrant
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, MediaCo issued the Warrant, which provides for the purchase of up to 28,206,152 shares
of Class A common stock (the “Warrant Shares”), subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the Warrant, at an exercise price per share of $0.00001. Subject to certain limitations, the Warrant also provides that the Warrant holder has the right
to participate in distributions on Class A common stock on an as-exercised basis. The Warrant further provides that in no event shall the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Warrant holder upon exercise of the Warrant exceed 19.9% of
the aggregate number of shares of common stock of MediaCo outstanding, or the voting power of such outstanding shares of common stock, on the business day immediately preceding the issue date for such Warrant Shares, calculated in accordance with the
applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), unless and until the Proposal has been approved.
The shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Option Agreement represent approximately 43% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on a fully diluted basis (assuming the full exercise of the Warrant and the Option Agreement).
First Lien Term Loan
In order to finance the Estrella Acquisition, MediaCo entered into a maximum $45.0 million first lien term loan credit facility, dated April 17, 2024
(the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), with White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as term agent thereunder, and the lenders party thereto. Under the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, MediaCo received an initial term loan of $35.0 million on April
17, 2024 (the “Initial Loan”) and was provided with a subsequent delayed draw facility of up to $10.0 million that may be provided for additional working capital purposes under certain conditions (the “Delayed Draw” and the loans thereunder, the
“Delayed Draw Term Loans”; the financing contemplated by the First Lien Term Loan, collectively with the Estrella Transaction and the payment of the Transaction Consideration, the “Transactions”). The Initial Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loans are
collectively referred to as the “First Lien Term Loans.” The proceeds of the Initial Loan were used to finance the Estrella Acquisition, pay off certain existing Estrella indebtedness in connection therewith and pay related fees and transaction
costs. The Initial Loan will mature on April 17, 2029, and each Delayed Draw Term Loan will mature on the date that is two years after the drawing of such Delayed Draw Term Loan. The first portion of such Delayed Draw Term Loan of $5.0 million was
incurred on May 2, 2024 and the second portion of such Delayed Draw Term Loans of $5.0 million was incurred on July 17, 2024. First Lien Term Loans will be subject to monthly interest payments at a rate of SOFR + 6.00%. Beginning May 2027, MediaCo
will be required to make monthly amortization payments equal to 0.8333% of the initial principal amount of the First Lien Term Loans. The First Lien Term Loans are subject to a borrowing base in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit
Agreement.
Second Lien Term Loan
In addition, MediaCo and its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a $30.0 million second lien term loan credit facility, dated April 17, 2024
(the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), with HPS as term agent, and the lenders party thereto. Under the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, MediaCo was deemed to receive the Second Lien Term Loan of $30.0 million on April 17, 2024 in connection
with the consummation of the Estrella Acquisition. The Second Lien Term Loan will mature on April 17, 2029 and will be subject to monthly interest payments at a rate of SOFR + 6.00%. The Second Lien Term Loan is subject to a borrowing base in
accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement.
Series B Preferred Stock
In addition, MediaCo issued 60,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with an aggregate initial liquidation value of $60.0 million, which Series B
Preferred Stock ranks senior and in priority of payment to all other equity securities of MediaCo, including with respect to any repayment, redemption, distributions, bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Pursuant to the
Series B Articles of Amendment, the ability of MediaCo to make distributions with respect to, or make a liquidation payment on, any other class of capital stock in the Company designated to be junior to, or on parity with, the Series B Preferred
Stock, will be subject to certain restrictions. Issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will accrue dividends, payable in kind, at an annual rate equal to 6.00% of the liquidation value thereof, subject to increase upon the
occurrence of certain trigger events set forth in the Series B Articles of Amendment. The Series B Preferred Stock is (i) mandatorily redeemable after seven years, (ii) redeemable at the Company’s option at any time, or (iii) redeemable upon a change
of control, a liquidation event or the occurrence of certain trigger events set forth in the Series B Articles of Amendment, and is not convertible into any other equity securities of the Company. As such, it is classified as a long term liability on
the condensed consolidated balance sheet and accrued dividends are classified in Interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Network Affiliation and Supply Agreements
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, Purchaser entered into a Network Program Supply Agreement (the “Network Program Supply
Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of Estrella that operate radio broadcast stations (the “Radio Stations”). Pursuant to the Network Program Supply Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to license certain programs and other material to the Radio
Stations for distribution on the Radio Stations’ broadcast channels.
On April 17, 2024, in connection with the Estrella Acquisition, Purchaser entered into a Network Affiliation Agreement (the “Network Affiliation
Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of Estrella that operate television broadcast stations (the “TV Stations”). Pursuant to the Network Affiliation Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to license certain programs and other material to the TV Stations
for distribution on the TV Stations’ broadcast channels.
These agreements impact the income from noncontrolling interests in these pro forma income statements.
Variable Interest Entity
The Company determined that the Estrella entities holding the Estrella Broadcast Assets subject to the Option Agreement (the “Estrella VIE”) is a
variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. The Company’s conclusion that the Estrella VIE is a VIE results from the Option Agreement, which caps Estrella VIE’s right to residual returns. Pursuant to
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) paragraph 810-10-25-38A and paragraph 810-10-25-38B, a reporting entity (the Company) is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it has both
of the following characteristics:
| a. |
The power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and
|
| b. |
The obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
|
The Company determined that since substantially all of the activities of the Estrella VIE are conducted on behalf of a single VIE holder, and that the
Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the remaining assets and liabilities of the Estrella VIE should be consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of April 17, 2024.
Basis of Presentation
The following tables set forth unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of MediaCo and Estrella (including the Estrella VIE)
(together, the “Combined Company”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements consist of unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of the Combined Company for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the nine
months ended September 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 is not presented as the historical consolidated balance sheet of MediaCo already reflects the effects of the Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
give pro forma effect to the Transactions, the payment of the Transaction Consideration and the funding of the First Lien Term Loan as if they had occurred on January 1, 2023.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with:
| a. |
the historical audited consolidated financial statements of MediaCo contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023;
|
| b. |
the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of MediaCo as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, contained in MediaCo’s Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024;
|
| c. |
the historical audited financial statements of Estrella Broadcasting, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed as exhibit 99.2 to MediaCo’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
with the SEC on July 3, 2024; and
|
| d. |
the historical unaudited financial statements of Estrella Broadcasting, Inc. as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, filed as Exhibit 99.3 to MediaCo’s Current Report on Form
8-K, filed with the SEC on July 3, 2024.
|
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily
indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the Transactions occurred (and the Transaction Consideration and First Lien Term Loan been paid and/or funded, as applicable) as of the dates
indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations of the Combined Company. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on certain currently available information and certain
assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.
Both MediaCo’s and Estrella’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars.
Certain reclassification adjustments were made to conform Estrella’s financial statement presentation to that of MediaCo’s.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with MediaCo as the accounting acquirer. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are to be recognized and
measured at their estimated acquisition date fair value.
The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and information
available as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. Certain valuations and assessments, including purchase price consideration, property and equipment, intangible assets, income taxes, and goodwill, among other things are preliminary and
subject to change.
Actual adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and the differences may be
material.

Note 1 - Preliminary purchase price allocation
The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
the Transactions and in connection with the payment and/or funding of the Transaction Consideration and the First Lien Term Loan. The following table summarizes the estimated allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date
(in thousands).
This estimated preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma condensed combined statements
of operations. The final purchase price will be completed when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary calculation used in the pro forma
adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of property, plant and equipment, lease right of use assets, and lease liabilities (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets including goodwill (3) other changes to
assets and liabilities, and (4) assessment of tax positions and tax rates.
