Beasley Broadcast Group Announces Reverse Stock Split

NAPLES, Fla., September 19, 2024 - Beasley Broadcast Group Inc. (Nasdaq: BBGI), a multi-platform media company (the "Company"), today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a reverse stock split of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the "Common Stock") at a ratio of 1-for-20. Stockholders previously approved the reverse stock split on August 26, 2024 and provided the Board with discretion to determine the final reverse stock split ratio.

The reverse stock split is being conducted to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq").

The reverse stock split is expected to become effective on September 23, 2024 (the"Effective Date"). Shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq on September 24, 2024. Shares of the Class A Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol "BBGI" and the new CUSIP number will be 074014 200.

On the Effective Date, every 20 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock, and every 20 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one share of Class B Common Stock.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Holders of Common Stock who would otherwise receive a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to the reverse stock split will receive cash in lieu of the fractional share equal to the closing sales price of the Class A Common Stock on the Effective Date.

The reverse stock split has no effect on the par value of the Company's Common Stock or authorized shares of any class of Common Stock. Immediately after the reverse stock split, each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor changes that will result from the treatment of fractional shares.

Equiniti Trust Company, LLC is acting as transfer and exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders who hold shares of Common Stock in book entry are not required to take any action to receive split-adjusted shares. Stockholders who own shares via a broker, bank, trust or other organization will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to such organization's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders of certificate(s) representing Common Stock prior to the Effective Date will receive a Letter of Transmittal from the exchange agent to trade in their certificate(s) for new certificate(s).

For more information on the reverse stock split, please refer to the Company's definitive information statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 3, 2024, or the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 19, 2024.
