Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (BBGI) extended the deadline for its early second‑lien tender offer to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 28 2026, with the settlement date moved to April 30 2026. The company completed the purchase of $15.899 million in principal amount of its existing first‑lien notes on March 30 2026, and as of the new deadline approximately 99 % of the aggregate principal amount of the existing second‑lien notes had been tendered and consents obtained. Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC administers the offers.
The extension is part of a broader debt‑restructuring plan that exchanges all $220 million of outstanding second‑lien notes at a 50 % principal haircut into $110 million of new 10 % payment‑in‑kind (PIK) notes due December 27 2027. The company is also repurchasing up to $15.9 million of first‑lien notes at par. As of April 23 2026, total debt stood at $270.69 million, representing 88 % of BBGI’s total capital.
Financially, FY25 revenue fell to $205.9 million from $240 million in FY24, while adjusted EBITDA dropped to $10.5 million from $25.8 million. The trailing‑12‑month net loss for the period ending December 31 2025 was $196.5 million, largely driven by a $224.8 million non‑cash FCC license impairment charge recorded in Q4 2025.
Digital revenue, a key growth driver, reached $49.5 million in FY25, accounting for 24 % of total revenue—up from 19 % in FY24—and achieved an operating margin of 24 %. CEO Caroline Beasley said, “Our digital transformation strategy is yielding positive results, and we are committed to expanding our digital footprint to drive higher margins and sustainable growth.” She added, “As a company today, if you don’t have a digital‑first strategy, my fear is that you’re really going to be left behind.”
Beasley also emphasized the importance of its digital‑first approach, stating, “Digital‑first is our guiding strategy moving forward. As traditional radio advertising dollars soften, our focus remains on expanding the digital side of our business – an area that continues to grow. This is what our clients and listeners want and expect from us, and we are committed to delivering it.” She further noted that the industry is evolving and that the company’s focus must remain on the future, “embracing digital innovation and new technologies that complement our core business.” Regarding the company’s financial outlook, she said the going‑concern disclosure from auditors “should be eliminated once our debt restructure is closed.”
Investors welcomed the extension as it signals progress in debt restructuring and confidence in BBGI’s digital strategy, underscoring the company’s efforts to reduce leverage and shift toward higher‑margin digital operations.
