| ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT |
On October 1, 2006, Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and NextMedia Group, Inc. (“Seller”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) under which the Company agreed to acquire all of the assets used or useful in the operation of radio station WJBR-FM in Wilmington, Delaware for approximately $42 million. The transaction is being structured as a “reverse” like-kind exchange in which the Company will assign its rights under the Agreement to a qualified intermediary in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. No assurance can be given, however, that the transaction will qualify as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The proposed acquisition, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2007, is subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission and other customary conditions to closing. The Company began operating the station under a local marketing agreement on October 1, 2006. The Company intends to fund the purchase price with borrowings under its existing credit facility.
