• Shelf Registration Filed

  Beasley Broadcast Group filed an S-3 registration statement to offer and sell up to $100,000,000 of various securities, including common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and units.

• Future Capital Raising Mechanism

  This filing establishes a framework for the company to raise capital "from time to time," but no securities are being offered or sold at this time. Actual sales will require separate prospectus supplements.

• "Baby Shelf" Rule Limitation

  Due to the company's market capitalization and non-affiliate float, the "baby shelf" rule (Form S-3 General Instruction I.B.6) limits the aggregate value of securities that can be sold under this registration to approximately $3.97 million over any 12-month period.

• Follows Debt Restructuring

  This registration follows a series of recent financial distress events, including a going concern warning, a Nasdaq non-compliance notice, and a comprehensive debt restructuring completed earlier this month.

This S-3 shelf registration allows Beasley Broadcast Group to raise up to $100 million through various securities, including common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and units. While the registration is for $100 million, current regulations (the "baby shelf" rule) limit the company to selling approximately $3.97 million in shares over a 12-month period, given its non-affiliate float. This filing is critical as it provides the company with a mechanism to access capital following a recent comprehensive debt restructuring and a Nasdaq non-compliance notice. The potential for future dilution, even if limited, is significant relative to the company's current market capitalization, highlighting ongoing financial needs.
