Entercom Communications Corp. Reduces Quarterly Dividend to Reallocate Capital to Share Repurchases and Accelerated Deleveraging

The Board of Directors of Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) today declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share of common stock payable on September 13, 2019, to shareholders of record as of August 29, 2019. This represents a reduction of $0.07 from the Company’s previous quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share.

The Board of Directors authorized the Company to reallocate the approximately $39 million of capital freed up on an annual basis by this action to repurchase its shares under its existing 2017 share repurchase program authorization and to accelerate deleveraging.

“We believe that redeploying capital from dividends to both share buybacks and debt reduction will allow us to drive increased shareholder value given our belief that our stock is now trading significantly below its intrinsic value and because this action will allow us to accelerate progress on our commitment to reduce total net leverage to four times,” said David Field, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Entercom.
