Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 3, 2023, Entravision Communications Corporation (the "Company") entered into an agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement"), among the Company and the selling stockholders of Adsmurai (the "Sellers"), whereby the Company acquired a 51% equity interest in Adsmurai, S.L. ("Adsmurai"), a company engaged in the sale and marketing of digital advertising technology platforms on the same date.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, the Company acquired 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai for a total purchase price of €13.0 million (approximately $14.2 million as of that date) by means of a payment in kind of a loan previously granted by the Company to the Sellers, including interest (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition Agreement also contains representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of the parties thereto.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company made a loan to entities affiliated with owners of the remaining 49% interest in Adsmurai in the principal amount of €7,355,500 (approximately $8.1 million as of that date) plus an additional amount to be determined based on Adsmurai's EBITDA for calendar year 2022 (the "Loan"). The Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 5% annually, and can be repaid upon the exercise of the option rights set forth in the Options Agreement (defined below).

Additionally, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company and the Sellers entered into an Options Agreement (the "Options Agreement"). Subject to the terms of the Options Agreement, for a purchase price based on a predetermined multiple of Adsmurai's EBITDA in the trailing four fiscal quarters, plus amounts outstanding under the Loan:

the Sellers have the right to cause the Company to purchase:
o
10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai between January and March 2024;
o
10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai between January and March 2025;
o
all of the remaining issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai between January and June 2027; and
the Company has the right to purchase all of the remaining issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai between January and June 2027.

The foregoing summaries of the Acquisition Agreement and the Options Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
