On April 29, 2026, Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBGI) confirmed the successful expiration and results of its recent financial maneuvers involving the exchange and tender offers as well as consent solicitations related to its outstanding debt. As a multi-platform media company, Beasley operates a network of radio stations across the United States and aims to strengthen its financial position through these strategic moves.
The Offers consisted of three key components:
- An exchange offer for holders of the Company’s existing 9.200% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2028.
- A tender offer to purchase for cash up to $15,899,000 of 11.000% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2028.
- Consent solicitations to amend the terms and conditions of the existing notes.
2. Results of the Tender and Exchange Offers
As of the expiration deadline on April 28, 2026, at 5:00 PM New York City time, Beasley reported noteworthy participation rates from its noteholders. Specifically, the company accepted $15,899,000 in aggregate principal amount of its Existing First Lien Notes. Impressively, this acceptance represented 100% of the Existing First Lien Noteholders who consented to the proposed amendments.
For the Existing Second Lien Notes, the results were equally compelling. Beasley successfully accepted $184,056,000 of these notes, achieving a participation rate of 99.53%. This strong response from shareholders highlights the confidence investors have in Beasley’s strategic direction and financial health.

3. Support from Noteholders
The success of the Offers was bolstered by a transaction support agreement, where approximately 98.7% of Existing First Lien Noteholders and 76.5% of Existing Second Lien Noteholders showed their support prior to the expiration.

By refinancing its existing debt obligations and amending the indentures governing its notes, the company aims to reduce interest expenses and improve its overall capital structure.
The newly issued 10.000% Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Notes due 2027, offered in the exchange, will provide additional flexibility for Beasley as it navigates the evolving media landscape and seeks to capitalize on growth opportunities within its markets.
