During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, we completed or entered into the following transactions:

On September 24, 2021, we repurchased $4.7 million of the 6.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (“2024 Notes”) for $4.7 million in cash, recognizing a net loss of $56,000 after adjusting for bond issuance costs.

On September 10, 2021, we exchanged $112.8 million of the 2024 Notes for $114.7 million (reflecting a call premium of 1.688%) of newly issued 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (“2028 Notes.”) Contemporaneously with the refinancing, we obtained commitments from the holders of the 2028 Notes to purchase up to $50 million in additional 2028 Notes (“Delayed Draw 2028 Notes,”) contingent upon satisfying certain performance benchmarks, the proceeds of which are to be used exclusively to repurchase or repay the remaining balance outstanding of the 2024 Notes. The transaction was assessed on a lender-specific level and was accounted for as a debt modification in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470, “.” We incurred debt issuance costs of $4.2 million, of which $2.3 million of third-party debt modification costs are reflected in operating expenses for the current period, $0.8 million is deferred with the Delayed Draw 2028 Notes, and $1.1 million, along with $3.0 million from the exchanged 2024 Notes, is being amortized as part of the effective yield on the 2028 Notes.

We received $11.2 million in aggregate principal amount of PPP loans through the SBA during the first quarter of 2021 based on the eligibility of our radio stations and networks as determined on a basis. The PPP loans were accounted for as debt in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470. The loan balances and accrued interest were forgivable provided that the proceeds were used for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities within the covered period. We used the PPP loan proceeds according to the terms and filed timely applications for forgiveness. During July 2021, the SBA forgave all but $20,000 of the PPP loans resulting in a gain on the forgiveness of $11.2 million. The remaining PPP loan was repaid in July 2021.

In April 2021, we filed a prospectus supplement to our shelf registration statement on Form with the SEC covering the offering, issuance and sale of up to $15.0 million of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to an facility, with B.

As part of the purchase agreement, we may pay up to an additional $11,000 in contingent consideration over the next two years based on the achievement of certain revenue benchmarks.

A summary of our business acquisitions and asset purchases during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2021, none of which were individually or in the aggregate material to our consolidated financial position as of the respective date of acquisition, is as follows:

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting as specified in FASB ASC Topic 805, “,” the total acquisition consideration of a business is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the transaction. Transactions that do not meet the definition of a business in ASU “ are recorded as asset purchases. Asset purchases are recognized based on their cost to acquire, including transaction costs. The cost to acquire an asset group is allocated to the individual assets acquired based on their relative fair value with no goodwill recognized.

The total acquisition consideration is equal to the sum of all cash payments, the fair value of any deferred payments and promissory notes, and the present value of any estimated contingent consideration. We estimate the fair value of any contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in Note 12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

The total purchase price consideration for our business acquisitions and asset purchases the nine-month period ending September 30, 2021, is as follows:

The allocations presented in the table below are based upon estimates of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. The following preliminary purchase price allocations are based upon the valuation of assets and these estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Differences between the preliminary and final valuation could be substantially different from the initial estimate.

 

The operating results of business and asset divestitures are excluded from our consolidated results of operations from their respective closing date or the date that a third-party began operating them under an LMA or TBA.
