We also entered a LMA effective September 2, 2019, under which the radio station will be operated by the buyer pending the closing of the sale of the station. This transaction is subject to the approval of the FCC and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019.

On July 5, 2019, we issued 41,323 restricted shares that vested immediately was made to our Chief Executive Officer under an election made pursuant to his employment agreement. The fair value of the restricted stock award was measured based on the grant date market price of our common shares. The restricted stock award contains transfer restrictions under which they cannot be sold, pledged, transferred or assigned until two years from the vesting date. The restricted stock awards provide all of the rights of absolute ownership of the restricted stock from the date of grant, including the right to vote the shares and to receive dividends. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are granted at no cost to the recipient other than applicable taxes owed by the recipient. The awards are considered issued and outstanding from the vest date of grant.
Subsequent events reflect all applicable transactions through the date of the filing.
