01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On April 12, 2024, Urban One, Inc. (the "Company"), issued a press release announcing that on April 8, 2024 it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule") as a result of not having timely filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been afforded 60 calendar days, or until June 7, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the compliance plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the filing's due date to regain compliance. The Company is working diligently and expects to file its 2023 Form 10-K within the 60-day period, which ends on June 7, 2024, which would eliminate the need for the Company to submit a formal plan to regain compliance. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Rule, the Company's common stock would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq; however, the Company would first have the opportunity to request a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong.

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).
