(the “Registrant”) relates to Registration Statement (No. 333- 205366) on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 30, 2015, which registered an aggregate of 20,703,234 shares of Class A common stock of the Registrant, par value $0.01 per share, and Class B common stock of the Registrant, par value $0.01 per share (collectively, “Common Stock”), issuable under the Townsquare Media, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, “Prior Plan”).
On May 9, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the shareholders of the Registrant approved the Amended and Restated Townsquare Media, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which superseded and replaced the Prior Plan in its entirety, effective as of the Effective Date. Further, any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to awards granted under the Prior Plan that were outstanding as of the Effective Date will be issued from the share reserve of the 2024 Plan.
In accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities of the Registrant registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all of the securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof, if any. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities. However, the Registration Statement will remain in effect for purposes of any outstanding awards granted under the Prior Plan and registered by the Registrant pursuant to the Registration Statement.
