CUMULUS MEDIA INC

Filing Date	Source Excerpt
2015-04-21	Mary G. Berner, age 55, is a nominee to serve as one of our directors. Ms. Berner is the President and Chief Executive Officer of MPA, The Association of Magazine Media, which is the industry association for multi-platform magazine media companies. She has held this position since September 2012. Prior thereto, she was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Reader’s Digest Association, a global media and direct marketing company, a position she held since March 2007. While at Reader’s Digest Association, Ms. Berner successfully led that company through a restructuring of its debt in a voluntary pre-arranged reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in under eight months, emerging from bankruptcy protection in February 2010. Nearly two years after Ms. Berner resigned from Reader’s Digest Association, that company again filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in February 2013. Prior to her positions at Reader’s Digest Association, Ms. Berner had previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Fairchild Publications, and held senior executive roles at News Corporation, Advance Magazine Group and Lang Communications, where she led several of the largest consumer and B2B magazine media brands in the United States. Ms. Berner’s 30 years of senior executive experience in the media and advertising industry will, we believe, allow her to add significant strategic perspective to the Board. In addition, her track record of overseeing revenue growth in the companies she has led, as well as her expertise managing businesses in transition, will be important in helping to position us for future success.
