The deregistration, combined with the bankruptcy-related 8-K, signals the company is exiting public markets. Shareholders should expect trading to move to the OTC markets with reduced liquidity and disclosure. Monitor for any subsequent liquidation or distribution plans.

Executive Summary
Cumulus Media Inc. filed a Form 15 to terminate its SEC registration and suspend reporting obligations under Section 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, effective immediately. The filing follows a recent 8-K (October 16, 2026) involving bankruptcy-related items, indicating the company is winding down. With only 134 holders of record, the deregistration is consistent with a post-bankruptcy exit from public reporting, which is bearish for remaining shareholders as they lose transparency and liquidity.
Key Facts
- Cumulus Media filed Form 15 to terminate registration under Section 12(g) and suspend duty to file reports under Sections 13 and 15(d).
- Approximately 134 holders of record as of the certification date.

- The company is suspending Section 15(d) reporting obligations in reliance on prior SEC no-action positions under Rule 12h-3.
Financial Impact
No financial figures provided; deregistration eliminates ongoing SEC reporting obligations, reducing transparency for shareholders.
Risk Factors
- Loss of SEC reporting means no further public financial disclosures, increasing information asymmetry.
- Likely transition to OTC trading with significantly reduced liquidity and potential for price dislocation.
- Bankruptcy context suggests equity may have minimal residual value.
