Conflicts of Interest
A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Person's personal or private interest improperly interferes with the interests of Dial Global. Personal conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of Company policy, unless they have been approved by Dial Global.
Some of the Covered Persons may also be employees, officers and/or investors of Gores Radio Holdings, LLC, The Gores Group, LLC, Glendon Partners, Inc. or their affiliates (collectively, the “Gores Stockholder”) or of Triton Media Group, LLC, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. or their affiliates (collectively, the “Oaktree Stockholder” and together with the Gores Stockholder, the “Controlling Stockholders”).
Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the relationship between Dial Global, the Controlling Stockholder and/or Covered Persons that are officers, employees, managers and/or directors of more than one of such entities (including, without limitation, the relationship between certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are employees, officers or investors of the Controlling Stockholder or certain officers of the Company who are investors in affiliates of the Controlling Stockholder). As a result, this Code recognizes that such Covered Persons will, in the normal course of their duties (whether for Dial Global or the Controlling Stockholder), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on Dial Global and the Controlling Stockholder. The participation of the Covered Persons in such activities is inherent in the relationship between Dial Global and the Controlling Stockholder and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Persons of their duties as officers, employees and/or directors of Dial Global. Thus, such activities (including ownership of any interest in the Controlling Stockholder or its affiliates) will be deemed to not constitute a “conflict of interest” for purposes of this Code.
In particular, the Controlling Stockholder may perform certain consulting services for Dial Global. Payments by Dial Global or any of its subsidiaries for such services will be deemed to not constitute a “conflict of interest” for purposes of this Code.
Each Covered Person should engage in and promote honest and ethical conduct, including in their handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.
Public Disclosure
It is Company policy to make full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in all reports and documents that Dial Global files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and all other governmental, quasi-governmental and self-regulatory bodies and in all other public communications made by Dial Global. As a Covered Person, you are required to promote compliance with this Code and to abide by Company standards, policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with this Code.
Waivers of Code of Ethics
From time to time, Dial Global may waive certain provisions of this Code. Any Covered Person who believes that a waiver may be called for should discuss the matter with Melissa Garza





of the Legal Department or the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Amendments to and waivers of this Code will be publicly disclosed as required by applicable law and regulations. In particular, waivers for executive officers or directors may be made only by the Board of Directors, and must be promptly disclosed in a Form 8-K within four business days in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Compliance with Code
If you know of or suspect a violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations or this Code, you must immediately report that information to Melissa Garza of the Legal Department or any member of the Board of Directors. No one will be subject to retaliation because of a good faith report of a suspected violation.
Violations of this Code may result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. The Board of Directors shall determine, or shall designate appropriate persons to determine, appropriate action in response to violations of this Code.
No Rights Created
This Code is a statement of certain fundamental principles and policies and procedures that govern the Covered Persons in the conduct of Dial Global's business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, supplier, competitor, stockholder, portfolio company or any other person or entity.
