Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.03   — Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     Effective March 31, 2008, the Board of Directors of Cumulus Media Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted amendments to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.6 of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended (the “By-Laws”), to provide for the issuance of uncertificated shares. The amendments permit the issuance and transfer of shares without certificates, by providing that the Board of Directors may adopt resolutions providing for the issuance of uncertificated shares. The amendments also revise provisions relating to lost certificates and the transfer of shares to reflect the possibility that shares may be in uncertificated form.
     The By-Laws were amended in order to enable the Company to comply with a NASDAQ Stock Market rule that requires that all listed securities become eligible to participate in a Direct Registration System (“DRS”) by March 31, 2008. DRS allows shareholders to hold shares of the Company’s securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical stock certificates and allows them to transfer electronically shares of the Company’s securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the need to transfer physical stock certificates.
     In connection with the amendment of the By-Laws, effective March 31, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions providing for the issuance of uncertificated shares.
     The foregoing summary of the amendments to the By-Laws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amendments, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
