Item 5.02 — Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers’ Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 4, 2014, Cumulus Media Inc. (the “Company”), issued a press release announcing a new organizational leadership structure, which includes eliminating the Co-Chief Operating Officer positions. In connection therewith, the Company announced that Jonathan G. Pinch, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, will retire from the Company, effective November 29, 2014 (or such earlier agreed upon date), and that John W. Dickey, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, was named to the newly created position of Executive Vice President of Content and Programming, effective immediately. In connection with Mr. Pinch’s retirement, and in accordance with the provisions of his existing employment agreement, Mr. Pinch will receive a severance payment equal to the sum of his base salary and target bonus amount, each as currently in effect, together with a cash payment equal to any performance-based bonus (if any) to which he may become entitled for 2014, pro rated through the date of his retirement, and he will be entitled to the continuation of certain health and welfare benefits. In addition, fifty percent of any unvested equity awards held by Mr. Pinch shall become immediately and fully vested, and the remaining amount will terminate and be forfeited, effective at such time as Mr. Pinch ceases to be an employee of the Company.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.
