Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end of such Item 3:

As previously reported, on July 30, 2011, the Issuer, Radio Network Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Issuer’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Verge Media Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Verge”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Verge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on October 21, 2011. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Issuer filed an amended and restated charter with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Restated Charter”) providing for two authorized classes of common stock, of which one class was designated Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), and one class was designated Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”). Upon the effectiveness of the Restated Charter, each issued and outstanding share of Issuer common stock was reclassified and automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock without any further action on the part of the holders thereof (the “Reclassification”). As a result of such Reclassification, Gores acquired 17,212,977 shares of Class A Common Stock. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Triton Media Group, LLC (“Triton”), the sole stockholder of Verge, received 9,691.374 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer, par value $0.01 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) (representing all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock), and 34,237,638 shares of Class B Common Stock representing approximately 59% of the total outstanding common stock of the Issuer and approximately 59% of the combined voting power of the Issuer, in each case on a fully diluted basis.

   13D    Page 21 of 38 Pages

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by Gores Radio and Triton on December 31, 2012 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), Gores Radio sold 71,428 shares of Class A Common Stock to Triton for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00.

On February 28, 2013 Gores Radio and Triton entered into the Voting Agreement (as defined in Item 6).

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Restated Charter do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and form of Restated Charter, copies of which were previously filed with Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

See Item 4 and Item 6 for a further description of the Voting Agreement and the Restructuring Transactions (as defined in Item 4).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The paragraph added to the end of the response to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, pursuant to Amendment No. 10 thereto, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following paragraph:

As previously reported, upon the effectiveness of the Restated Charter, the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “New Board”) was reduced from eleven members to nine members. Pursuant to the Restated Charter, the Issuer is initially entitled to designate three members of the New Board, one of whom must be independent under applicable stock exchange rules. Jonathan Gimbel and Mark Stone, employees of Gores, B. James Ford, a managing director of OCM, and Andrew Salter, an employee of OCM, and H. Melvin Ming, an independent director, were designated by the Issuer and became members of the New Board on October 21, 2011. Pursuant to the Restated Charter (i) at each meeting of stockholders or action by written consent in lieu thereof in which directors are to be elected, the holders of Class A Common Stock (voting as a separate class) are entitled to elect three of the nine members of the New Board, at least one of whom must be independent under applicable stock exchange rules (the “Class A Directors”) and the holders of Class B Common Stock (voting as a separate class) are entitled to elect all of the other members of the New Board, at least two of whom must be independent under applicable stock exchange rules (the “Class B Directors”) and (ii) until the third anniversary of the effective date of the Restated Charter, the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the Class A Common Stock (voting as a separate class) is required to approve a sale of the Issuer, subject to certain exceptions (the “Class A Sale Veto Right”). As a result, (x) so long as Gores beneficially owns a majority of the Class A Common Stock, Gores will have shares with voting power sufficient to elect the Class A Directors (y) so long as the Oaktree Reporting Persons beneficially own a majority of the Class B Common Stock, the Oaktree Reporting Persons will have shares with voting power sufficient to elect the Class B Directors and (iii) so long as Gores beneficially owns at least two-thirds of the Class A Common Stock, Gores will have shares with voting power sufficient to exercise the Class A Sale Veto Right.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end of such Item 4:

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2013, by and among the Issuer, the lenders party thereto, the administrative and collateral agents and the other parties thereto (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), the Issuer has agreed to consummate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, certain Restructuring Transactions (as defined therein and as further described below), including the reclassification of the Issuer’s equity interests and the amendment and restatement of the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, to reflect the terms of the Issuer’s reclassified equity interests (including the issuance of new equity securities of the Issuer in such reclassification).

The agreements referenced in clauses (vi)-(vii) above are referred to herein as the “Sponsor Agreements” and the parties thereto, other than the Issuer, as the “Sponsors.”

The effectiveness of each of the agreements described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding paragraph is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Also, under such agreements the lenders party thereto will be granted certain corporate governance rights with respect to the Issuer.

In addition, Gores Radio and Triton are entitled to unlimited piggyback registration rights with respect to the registration of any equity securities of the Issuer, subject to certain limitations.

These registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations, among them the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by such stockholders to be included in such registration. Subject to certain exceptions, the Issuer is generally required to bear all expenses of such registration (other than underwriting discounts and commissions).

The foregoing description of the Registration Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3 to Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The response to Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end of such Item 6:

See Item 4 for a description of the Restructuring Transactions.

Voting Agreement

In connection with the Issuer’s entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Gores Radio, Triton and the Issuer entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2013, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and incorporated herein by reference (the “Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each of Gores Radio and Triton has agreed, among other things, to execute a written consent to the Restructuring Transactions that require approval of the stockholders of the Issuer, including the above described amendment and restatement of the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation. Gores Radio and Triton also agreed in the Voting Agreement to certain restrictions, effective until the date on which written consent is executed, on the transfer or tender of the shares of the Issuer’s stock held by them, the entry into any voting agreement with respect to such shares, and any restriction on the voting by Gores Radio and Triton of such shares.

Exchange and Subscription Agreement

In connection with the contemplated closing of the Restructuring Transactions, Triton, the Oaktree Funds and Gores Radio contemplate entering into an Exchange and Subscription Agreement with certain other holders of subordinated PIK notes issued by the Issuer and a newly formed limited liability company (the “New LLC”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5 (the “New LLC Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which Triton, the Oaktree Funds, Gores and such other parties would exchange equity and debt interests held by them in the Issuer for equity interests in the New LLC, and the Oaktree Funds and Gores would contribute to the New LLC an aggregate of $16.5 million in cash, in exchange for the issuance by the New LLC of additional equity interests. In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the New LLC Exchange Agreement, (i) the Sponsors contemplates assigning their rights and obligations under the Sponsor Agreements to the New LLC, and (ii) Triton, Gores Radio, the Issuer and certain other parties contemplate entering into a Termination Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6, pursuant to which the Contribution Agreement will be terminated concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the New LLC Exchange Agreement. There can be no assurances that the parties that contemplate entering into the New LLC Exchange Agreement will enter into such agreement, or that any of the actions described in this paragraph will be consummated.

To the best knowledge of the Gores Reporting Persons and Oaktree Reporting Persons, except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 hereof and between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

DIAL GLOBAL, INC.

[            ], 2013

The undersigned, [            ], certifies that he is the [            ] of Dial Global, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), and does hereby further certify as follows:

(1) The Corporation was originally incorporated under the name Westwood One Delaware, Inc. and the original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 21, 1985. On October 21, 2011, the Corporation filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under the name Westwood One, Inc.

(2) This Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further amends and, as amended, restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and has been duly proposed by resolutions adopted and declared advisable by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Board of Directors”) approved by the stockholders of the Corporation and duly executed and acknowledged by the officers of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

(3) The effective date (the “Effective Date”) of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be the date it is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

(4) On the Effective Date, [(x) each share of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Old Class A Common Stock”) and Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Old Class B Common Stock” and together with the Old Class A Common Stock, the “Old Common Stock”), in each case issued and outstanding on the Effective Date shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be [combined,] reclassified as and converted into one share of Common Stock and (y) each share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Old Preferred Stock”), issued and outstanding on the Effective Date, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be reclassified and converted into [             ] shares of Series D Preferred Stock (as defined below). Following the Effective Date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the Old Class A Common Stock, the Old Class B Common Stock and the Old Preferred Stock shall no longer constitute part of the authorized Capital Stock of the Corporation. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash (without interest or deduction) from the Corporation’s transfer agent in lieu of such fractional share interests upon the submission of a transmission letter by a stockholder holding the shares in book-entry form and, where shares are held in certificated form, upon the surrender of the stockholder’s Old Certificates (as defined below), in an amount equal to the proceeds attributable to the sale of such fractional shares following the aggregation and sale by the Corporation’s transfer agent of all fractional shares otherwise issuable. Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Date represented shares of Old Common Stock or Old Preferred Stock (“Old Certificates”) shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock into which the Old Preferred Stock shall have been combined, reclassified and converted, as applicable.

Subject to the preceding sentence and without limiting the restrictions on transfers herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company, each Holder Party and their respective permitted successors, assigns, personal or legal representatives, heirs and legatees, whether herein so expressed or not. Nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

6.6 Waiver. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement.

6.8 Construction of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual agreement, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to have been prepared by any single party hereto. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference purposes only and in no respect define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any section or subsection. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of

which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

- 8 -


6.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be enforced, governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the choice or conflict of laws provisions of Delaware or any other jurisdiction.

6.10 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and agrees that all actions, suits or other proceedings arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be tried and litigated in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event, but only in the event, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, in the event that such court does not have jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Superior Court), which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any and all claims, controversies and disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto, for itself and its property, (a) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action, suit or other proceeding commenced in any such court, (b) waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or any objection that such person may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue and (c) consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint or other process issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address set forth in Section 6.4 or the signature page hereto, as appropriate, and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such person’s actual receipt thereof or five days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid.

6.11 Waiver of Trial by Jury; Reference Agreement. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws.

Exhibit 6

Termination Agreement

to

Indemnity and Contribution Agreement

This Termination Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on                    , 2013, by and among (i) Dial Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Westwood One, Inc.) (“Dial Global”), (ii) Gores Radio Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Gores Capital Partners II, L.P. and Gores Co-Invest Partnership II, L.P. (collectively, “Gores”), (iii) Verge Media Companies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (as successor-in-interest to Verge Media Companies, Inc) (“Verge”), and (iv) Triton Media Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Triton”). Dial Global, Gores, Verge and Triton are each sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

Reference is made to the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, dated July 30, 2011, by and among Dial Global, Gores, Verge and Triton, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated October 21, 2011, by and among the parties thereto (the “Indemnity and Contribution Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement.

Pursuant to Section 2 of the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, and subject to the conditions thereof, Gores is required to make a payment to Triton in respect of a Covered Payment previously made by Dial Global. As of the date hereof, such Covered Payment (net of any Clear Channel Payments) is equal to $414,155.59, and the Gores Payment Amount in respect thereof is equal to $186,908.42.

On the date hereof, Gores and Triton have entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of DG LA Members, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “DG LA LLC Agreement”), and such Parties have therein provided for the payment of the Gores Payment Amount to Triton.

The Parties now agree that the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect, with no further liabilities or obligations of any Party thereunder and such termination to be effective immediately; provided, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the provisions of the DG LA LLC Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto individually or in any combination, in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
