Pierre O. Pullins Dear Sir or Madam: I am legal counsel to Respondent Radio One of Indiana, L.P., which owns and operates radio stations WTLC-FM, WTLC-AM, WHHH-FM, and WNOW-FM in the Indianapolis, Indiana radio market. Urban One, Inc. ("Urban One") is the general partner of Radio One of Indiana, L.P., hereinafter referred to as "Radio One" or "Company." The Company hereby responds to the complaint of Pierre Q. Pullins that Radio One conspired with U.S. Representative Andre Carson, the Indianapolis Recorder, and the Indianapolis Star to suppress and injure Mr. Pullins' congressional campaign and message. Mr. Pullins lost the May 8,2018 Democratic primary to Rep. Carson, the incumbent since 2008, who garnered 37,662 votes (88% of the total votes cast) compared to Mr. Pullins' 226 votes (0.5% of the total votes cast). There is no basis whatsoever for Mr. Pullins' allegation of a conspiracy among Radio One, Rep. Carson, and two local newspapers that, in fact, are media competitors of Radio One. Mr. Pullins offers no evidence to support his complaint and relies entirely on wild speculation.

("Urban One"), a multi-media corporation, headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, with respect to a potential data security incident described in more detail below. Urban One takes the security and privacy of the information in its control very seriously, and has taken steps to prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future. On February 28, 2019, Urban One discovered there had been unauthorized access to its network. Urban One immediately took action to remove the unauthorized third party and initiated an independent investigation with third party forensics experts to determine what information and systems may have been affected. As a result of its investigation, Urban One determined that individuals' names, addresses, and Social Security numbers may have been improperly accessed. Urban One immediately contacted law enforcement. Up to one thousand, two hundred and seventeen (1,217) residents may have been affected by this incident. Notification letters to these individuals were mailed by first class mail, starting on March 28, 2019, and final letters will be transmitted no later than April 10, 2019. A sample copy of the notification letter is included with this letter. Urban One is taking steps, including strengthening its network security posture, to prevent a similar event from occurring in the future.
