Item 5. Other Information and Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 8, 2004, TBA Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“TBA”), entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with TBA Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), and TBA Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will acquire all the outstanding shares of TBA’s capital stock by merging Merger Sub with and into TBA, with TBA continuing to exist as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Merger”).

Purchaser will acquire all of TBA’s capital stock for cash consideration of $6,150,000 which, after deduction of certain transaction expenses, results in net consideration of approximately $0.67 per share of common stock and approximately $0.70 per share of preferred stock. The merger consideration is subject to downward adjustment based on certain of TBA’s other expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, as described in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement conditions the closing of the Merger upon the approval of the transaction by TBA’s stockholders, the restructuring of TBA’s credit facility with AmSouth Bank, the issuance by TBA’s independent auditors of an unqualified audit report for the year ended December 31, 2003, the inclusion in TBA’s Form 10-K for 2003 of certain disclosure related to available cash flows, and other customary closing conditions.

The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, Thomas Jackson Weaver III, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of TBA, has agreed to vote his shares in favor of approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and against any proposal or action that could interfere with or impede the Merger. Pursuant to a Consulting Agreement between Mr. Weaver and Merger Sub, Mr. Weaver will serve as a consultant to TBA for three years following the Merger and will receive compensation of $175,000 per year for such services.

The Board of Directors of TBA, acting upon a recommendation of a special committee composed entirely of disinterested directors, has determined that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders of TBA, and has unanimously approved and adopted the Merger Agreement. Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. served as the financial advisor to TBA in connection with the transaction. Purchaser and Merger Sub have represented in the Merger Agreement that they have sufficient committed funds available to pay the merger consideration.

As soon as practicable, TBA will file a proxy statement relating to the Merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will schedule a special meeting of stockholders to vote on a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Merger. TBA’s Board of Directors has unanimously recommended that the stockholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Merger. Stockholders who do not vote in favor of the Merger Agreement will be entitled to seek appraisal rights under Delaware law.

A copy of the press release issued by TBA on April 8, 2004, announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
