Pursuant to the terms of the third phase, the Company would transfer 44 stations in 8 markets to Clear Channel in exchange for 4 stations in 1 market plus $51.2 million of initial cash proceeds. Upon receipt of regulatory approval for 1 of the stations being sold pursuant to the third phase, and satisfaction of certain other post-closing conditions, the Company will receive $1.0 million of additional cash proceeds. On October 2, 2000, the Company received $15.0 million of cash proceeds in connection with the third phase, and on January 18, 2001, the Company received $36.2 million of cash proceeds from the third phase. The series of asset exchange and sale agreements between the Company and Clear Channel are described in chronological order below.

Also on March 5, 2000 Cumulus Media Inc. entered into an Asset Exchange Agreement (the "Phase 1 Exchange Agreement") with Capstar ROC and Capstar TX pursuant to which the parties agreed to exchange the Clear Channel Station Assets (defined therein) and the Exchange Party Station Assets (defined therein). The parties intended the transaction contemplated by this Exchange Agreement to be a like-kind exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 3 On June 5, 2000 the parties to the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement and the Phase 1 Exchange Agreement entered into an Amendment (the "First Amendment") in which the Exchange Agreement and the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement were amended to, among other things, 1) modify the radio station assets to be included in the Phase 1 Exchange Agreement; and 2) modify the purchase price under the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement and the cash amount under the Phase 1 Exchange Agreement. On July 17, 2000 the parties to the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement and the Phase 1 Exchange Agreement entered into a Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment") whereby the Phase 1 Exchange Agreement and the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement were amended to, among other things, 1) further modify the radio station assets to be included in the Phase 1 Exchange Agreement; and 2) further modify the purchase price under the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement and the cash amount under the Phase 1 Exchange Agreement. The Phase 1 Purchase Agreement and the Phase I Exchange Agreement, as amended, will hereafter be referred to as the "Phase 1 Clear Channel Agreements". The transactions contemplated by the Phase 1 Clear Channel Agreements were consummated on August 25, 2000, whereby the Company transferred 25 stations in 5 markets to Clear Channel in exchange for 8 stations in 3 markets plus $91.5 million of cash proceeds. On September 6, 2000, Cumulus Media Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Phase 2 Asset Purchase Agreement") with Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc.

On September 30, 2000, Cumulus Media Inc. entered into an amendment to the Phase 2 Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Phase 2 Amendment") with Clear Channel. Among other things, the Phase 2 Amendment i) specified the transfer of the Station Assets were as part of a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, and ii) set the closing date for October 2, 2000. The transactions contemplated by the Phase 2 Asset Purchase Agreement were consummated on October 2, 2000, whereby the Company sold 28 stations in 5 markets for $68.9 million of initial cash proceeds. Upon receipt of regulatory approval for 6 of the stations being sold, the Company will receive an additional $6.0 million of cash proceeds. On October 2, 2000, Cumulus Media Inc. entered into a Tangible Property Purchase Agreement (the "Phase 3 Tangible Property Purchase Agreement") with Capstar ROC. The transactions contemplated by the Phase 3 Tangible Property Purchase Agreement were consummated on October 2, 2000, whereby the Company sold the tangible assets associated with 44 stations in 8 markets to Clear Channel in exchange for cash proceeds of $15.0 million. On October 2, 2000, Cumulus Media Inc. entered into an Asset Exchange Agreement (the "Phase 3 Asset Exchange Agreement") with Capstar ROC and Capstar TX. On January 12, 2001 Cumulus Media Inc. entered into an Amendment to the Asset Exchange Agreement (the "Phase 3 Amendment") with Capstar ROC and Capstar TX. The Phase 3 Amendment provides, among other things that Clear Channel may elect to consummate the exchange and replacement property purchase of the assets relating to WMHG-AM, Muskegon, Michigan in a closing separate from the Closing of the other Muskegon Stations. The transactions contemplated by the Phase 3 Asset Exchange Agreement were consummated on January 18, 2001, whereby the Company transferred 44 stations in 8 markets to Clear Channel in exchange for 4 stations and approximately $36.2 million of additional cash proceeds. Upon receipt of regulatory approval for 1 of the stations being sold, and satisfaction of certain other post-closing conditions, the Company will receive an additional $1.0 million of cash proceeds.

(the "Company") completed substantially all of the third and final phase of an asset exchange and sale transaction with Clear Channel Communications ("Clear Channel"). Pursuant to the terms of the third phase, the Company would transfer 44 stations in 8 markets to Clear Channel in exchange for 4 stations in 1 market plus $51.2 million of initial cash proceeds. Upon receipt of regulatory approval for 1 of the stations being sold pursuant to the third phase, and satisfaction of certain other post-closing conditions, the Company will receive $1.0 million of additional cash proceeds. On October 2, 2000, the Company received $15.0 million of cash proceeds in connection with the third phase, and on January 18, 2001, the Company received the remaining $36.2 million of cash proceeds from the third phase. The Company completed substantially all of the second phase of the asset exchange and sale transaction with Clear Channel on October 2, 2000, whereby the Company transferred 28 stations in 5 markets for $68.9 million of initial cash proceeds. Upon receipt of regulatory approval for 6 of the stations being sold pursuant to the second phase, the Company will receive an additional $6.0 million of cash proceeds. The Company completed the first phase of the asset exchange and sale transaction with Clear Channel on August 25, 2000, whereby the Company transferred 25 stations in 5 markets to Clear Channel in exchange for 8 stations in 3 markets plus $91.5 million of cash proceeds. The cash proceeds from the first and second phases of the asset exchange and sale transaction with Clear Channel were used to facilitate closing of an unrelated transaction to acquire 35 stations in 9 markets from Connoisseur Communications Partners, LP ("Connoisseur") for a total purchase price of $257.8 million in cash. The Company's acquisition of stations from Connoisseur was completed on October 2, 2000. The following unaudited pro forma financial statements are based on the respective historical financial statements of the Company, giving effect to: (i) the Company's asset exchange and sale transaction with Clear Channel, and (ii) the Company's acquisition of stations from Connoisseur, using the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements. The unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect the use of the purchase method of accounting for all acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the 9 months ended September 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999 reflect adjustments as if the Clear Channel asset exchange and sale transaction and the Connoisseur acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2000 gives effect to the Clear Channel asset exchange and sale transaction and the Connoisseur acquisition as if they had occurred on September 30, 2000. The information set forth under the heading "The Company Historical" in the pro forma statements of operations includes results relating to local marketing agreements ("LMAs") with certain of the acquired stations. The financial effects of the transactions presented in the unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of either the financial position or results of operations that would have been obtained had the acquisition actually occurred on the dates set forth above, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results of future operations. All pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, as amended, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the other information that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. 9 CUMULUS MEDIA INC.

(1) Reflects historical revenues and expenses of stations acquired by us from Clear Channel Communications on August 25, 2000 and January 18, 2001 for the period from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. (2) Reflects the historical revenues and expenses of stations divested by us to Clear Channel Communications on August 25, 2000, October 2, 2000 and January 18, 2001 for the period from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. (3) Reflects the historical revenues and expenses of stations acquired by us on October 2, 2000 from Connoisseur Communications Partners, L.P. for the period from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. (4) To eliminate $1,041 in management agreement revenue recorded by Cumulus in the 1999 Company historical and the offsetting broker fee expense recorded by Connoisseur Communications Partners, L.P. in their Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1999. (5) Reflects (i) the change in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from conforming the estimated useful lives of our acquired assets to our policies and (ii) the additional depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired net of assets divested. On a pro forma basis, depreciation expense is $12,853 and amortization expense is $28,680 after giving effect to the completed divestitures and acquisitions. Depreciation expense has been calculated on a straight-line basis using a weighted average life of seven years for property and equipment. Amortization of Intangible Assets has been calculated on a straight-line basis over 25 years. Non-compete agreements are being amortized over the lives of the agreements which range from one to three years. We allocate the purchase prices of the acquired stations based on evaluations of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. We believe that the excess of cost over the fair value of tangible net assets of an acquired radio station almost exclusively relates to the value of the FCC broadcasting license. We believe that the purchase price allocation method described above is consistent with general practice in the radio broadcasting industry. (6) Adjustment to reduce historical interest income to reflect the effects of net cash used in our completed acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 1999. (7) Adjustment to reflect the application of the Company's estimated tax rate of 40% to the combined pre-tax income (loss) of the entities divested and entities acquired on a pro forma basis for the period from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. 11 CUMULUS MEDIA INC.

(5) Reflects (i) the change in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from conforming the estimated useful lives of our acquired assets, to our policies and (ii) the additional depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired, net of assets divested. On a pro forma basis, depreciation expense is $9,640 and amortization expense is $21,510 after giving effect to the completed acquisitions and divestitures. Depreciation expense has been calculated on a straight-line basis using a weighted average life of seven years for property and equipment. Amortization of Intangible Assets has been calculated on a straight-line basis over 25 years. Non-compete agreements are being amortized over the lives of the agreements which range from one to three years. We allocate the purchase prices of the acquired stations based on evaluations of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. We believe that the excess of cost over the fair value of tangible net assets of an acquired radio station almost exclusively relates to the value of the FCC broadcasting license. We believe that the purchase price allocation method described above is consistent with general practice in the radio broadcasting industry. (6) Adjustments to reduce historical interest income to reflect the effects of net cash used in our completed acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. (7) Adjustment recorded to eliminate the non-recurring gain on sale of assets recorded by Clear Channel Communications on the 2000 sale of radio stations in Cedar Rapids, IA and Shreveport, LA to Cumulus. (8) Adjustment to reflect the application of the Company's estimated tax rate of 40% to the combined pre-tax income (loss) of the entities divested and entities acquired on a pro forma basis for the period from January 1, 2000 through September 30, 2000. 13 CUMULUS MEDIA INC.
