ITEM 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 3, 2024, Urban One, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an employment agreement with Alfred C. Liggins, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, consistent with the terms approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee and previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 3, 2022. The terms of the new employment agreements are effective as of January 1, 2022 and a copy of the employment agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto. The agreement has been redacted in part to exclude a sample calculation that is not material to an understanding of the overall agreement and includes certain information the Company customarily and actually treats as confidential.

Forward Looking Statements

The Company cautions that certain of the statements in this Form 8-K or in its press release may represent “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. Forward looking statements are based on assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable and speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will” or “estimate,” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after such date and cautions investors not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the statements based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the following: adverse effects which may arise in connection with the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or our failure to promptly remediate it; the extent of the impact of the slowing economy, the extent of the impact of any global pandemic or any other epidemic, disease outbreak, or public health emergency, the cost and availability of capital or credit facility borrowings; the ability to obtain equity financing; general market conditions; the adequacy of cash flows or available debt resources to fund operations; and other risk factors described from time to time in the Company’s Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K reports (including all amendments to those reports).
