The information set forth under Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Report") is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

On January 16, 2026, Urban One, Inc. (the Company) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate of Amendment) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of all classes of the Company's Common Stock (A, B, C and D), including its publicly traded Class A Common Stock and Class D Common Stock (the Reverse Stock Split), effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on January 22, 2026 (the Effective Date).

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, in lieu of any fractional shares, the Company will pay cash for each holder's fractional shares in an amount equal to the closing sales price of the Company's Class A Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, respectively, as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq) on the Effective Date.

Following the Effective Date of the Reverse Stock Split, shares of the Class A Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol UONE and the new CUSIP number will be 91705J 303. Shares of the Class D Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol UONEK and the new CUSIP number will be 91705J 402.

For more information about the Reverse Stock Split, see the Company's definitive information statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2025. The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Report, and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

As previously disclosed, the Board of Directors (the Board) of the Company and the holders of a majority in voting power of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, approved and authorized an amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all classes of the Company's Common Stock (Class A Common Stock , Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock collectively, the Common Stock) at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and no more than 1-for-30, subject to and as determined by a committee appointed by our Board of Directors. (the Reverse Stock Split).

On January 6, 2026, the Audit Committee of Board of Directors approved a ratio of 1-for-10 as the final ratio for the Reverse Stock Split, and on January 16, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Reverse Stock Split on January 16, 2026, including the final ratio of 1-for-10. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Once effective, every 10 shares of the Company's publicly traded Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock, and every 10 shares of the Company's publicly traded Class D Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one share of Class D Common Stock.

No fractional shares of Class A or Class D Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Holders of Class A or Class D Common Stock who would otherwise receive a fractional share of Class A or Class D Common Stock pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will receive cash in lieu of the fractional share equal to the closing sales price of the Class A or Class D Common Stock, respectively, on the effective date.

------

The reverse stock split will be realized simultaneously and in the same ratio for all classes (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D) of the Company's Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of our common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's percentage of ownership interest in the Company. Further, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect the Company's underlying business operations, total stockholders' equity, or the proportional ownership interests of existing shareholders, except for adjustments resulting from fractional share treatment. Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder's percentage of ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor changes that will result from the treatment of fractional shares.

For more information on the reverse stock split, please refer to the Company's definitive information statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 8, 2025.
