ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors

Composition of the Board of Director

Our Board is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of our stockholders, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. As long as iHeartMedia, Inc. (“iHeartMedia”) continues to indirectly own shares of our common stock representing more than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock, it will have the ability to direct the election of all the members of our Board, the composition of our Board committees and the size of the Board.

Because iHeartMedia controls more than 50% of the voting power of Clear Channel Outdoor, we have elected to be treated as a “controlled company” under the NYSE’s Corporate Governance Standards. Accordingly, we are exempt from the provisions of the Corporate Governance Standards requiring that: (1) a majority of our Board consists of independent directors; (2) we have a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the nominating and governance committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and (3) we have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the compensation committee’s purpose and responsibilities. However, notwithstanding this exemption, as described more fully below, we have a Compensation Committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the Compensation Committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

Set forth below is information regarding our directors as of May 11, 2018.

The Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee administers Clear Channel Outdoor’s incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans, determines compensation arrangements for all executive officers, other than our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance, General Counsel and Chief Accounting Officer, and makes recommendations to the Board concerning compensation for directors of Clear Channel Outdoor and its subsidiaries. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement provides additional details regarding the basis on which the Compensation Committee determines executive compensation. The Compensation Committee met 4 times during 2017. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent as defined by the listing standards of the NYSE and Clear Channel Outdoor’s independence standards and meet the heightened independence standards for compensation committee membership of the NYSE and the SEC.

The Compensation Committee has the ability, under its charter, to select and retain, at the expense of Clear Channel Outdoor, independent legal and financial counsel and other consultants necessary to assist the Compensation Committee as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to select and retain any compensation consultant to be used to survey the compensation practices in Clear Channel Outdoor’s industry and to provide advice so that Clear Channel Outdoor can maintain its competitive ability to recruit and retain highly qualified personnel. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to approve related fees and retention terms for any of its counsel and consultants.

The Compensation Committee’s primary purposes, which are discussed in detail within its charter, are to:

•

assist the Board in ensuring that a proper system of long-term and short-term compensation is in place to provide performance-oriented incentives to management, and that compensation plans are appropriate and competitive and properly reflect the objectives and performance of management and Clear Channel Outdoor;

•

review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of Clear Channel Outdoor’s executive officers, evaluate the performance of the executive officers in light of those goals and objectives and, either as a committee or together with the other independent directors (as directed by the Board), determine and approve the compensation level of the executive officers based on this evaluation;

•

review and adopt, and/or make recommendations to the Board with respect to, incentive-compensation plans for executive officers and equity-based plans;

•

review and discuss with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis to be included in Clear Channel Outdoor’s proxy statement and determine whether to recommend to the Board the inclusion of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in the proxy statement;

•

prepare the Compensation Committee report for inclusion in Clear Channel Outdoor’s proxy statement; and

•

recommend to the Board the appropriate compensation for the non-employee members of the Board.

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance simultaneously hold the same positions at iHeartCommunications and iHeartMedia, our indirect parent entities. The compensation of those officers is set by the board of directors and the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of iHeartMedia, and we are allocated a portion of the cost of the services of certain of those officers pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement, dated November 16, 2005, by and between iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. (“iHMMS”), an indirect subsidiary of iHeartMedia and us (the “Corporate Services Agreement”). Accordingly, our Compensation Committee charter does not govern the compensation arrangements, policies and practices of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance. The term “executive officer” used above in the description of the Compensation Committee’s purposes refers to our employees (other than our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance) who are (1) subject to the requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), governing insider trading reporting or (2) covered by the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), governing qualified performance-based compensation. See the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement. The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate its responsibilities to subcommittees if the Compensation Committee determines such delegation would be in the best interest of Clear Channel Outdoor.

To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners timely filed all required Section 16(a) reports, except that Mr. Jacobs was late in filing a Form 4 disclosing one transaction and Mr. Tremblay was late in filing a Form 4 disclosing one transaction.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis contains statements regarding Company and individual performance measures and other goals. These goals are disclosed in the limited context of our executive compensation program and should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. Further, the Company performance measures used for purposes of executive compensation, as described more fully below, differ from segment results reported in our financial statements. Segment results are used to measure the overall financial performance of the Company’s segments, while the performance measures used for compensation purposes are used in connection with assessing the performance of executives. We specifically caution investors not to apply the following discussion to other contexts.

OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

We believe that compensation of our named executive officers should be directly and materially linked to operating performance. The fundamental objective of our compensation program is to attract, retain and motivate top quality executives through compensation and incentives which are competitive within the various labor markets and industries in which we compete for talent and which align the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders.

Overall, we have designed our compensation program to:

•

support our business strategy and business plan by clearly communicating what is expected of executives with respect to goals and results and by rewarding achievement;

•

recruit, motivate and retain executive talent; and

•

align executive performance with stockholder interests.

We seek to achieve these objectives through a variety of compensation elements, as summarized below:


Element	Form	Purpose

Base salary	Cash	Provide a competitive level of base compensation in recognition of responsibilities, value to the Company and individual performance

Bonus	Cash	Through annual incentive bonuses, discretionary bonuses and additional bonus opportunities, recognize and provide an incentive for performance that achieves specific corporate and/or individual goals intended to correlate closely with the growth of long-term stockholder value

Long-term Incentive Compensation	Generally stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other equity-based compensation	Incentivize achievement of long-term goals, enable retention and/or recognize achievements and promotions—in each case aligning compensation over a multi-year period directly with the interests of stockholders by creating an equity stake

Other Benefits and Prerequisites	Retirement plans, health and welfare plans and certain perquisites (such as club dues, relocation benefits and payment of legal fees in connection with promotions/new hires, personal use of aircraft, transportation and other services)	Provide tools for employees to pursue financial security through retirement benefits, promote the health and welfare of all employees and provide other specific benefits of value to individual executive officers

Severance	Varies by circumstances of separation	Facilitate an orderly transition in the event of management changes

In May 2017, we held a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. More than 99% of the votes cast on the matter approved the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in our 2017 proxy statement. Accordingly, we made no significant changes to the objectives or structure of our executive compensation program. We currently hold our say-on-pay vote once every three years. Accordingly, we expect that our next say-on-pay advisory vote will occur at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2020. We also expect our next vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes to occur at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2023.

COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS EMPLOYED BY IHEARTMEDIA

The following of our named executive officers were employed by and received compensation from iHeartMedia in 2017:

•

Robert W. Pittman, our Chief Executive Officer;

•

Richard J. Bressler, our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer); and

•

Steven J. Macri, our Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance.

Accordingly, the 2017 compensation for Messrs. Pittman, Bressler and Macri was set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of iHeartMedia. Clear Channel Outdoor’s Compensation Committee had no involvement in recommending or approving their compensation.

As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” a portion of the 2017 compensation for Messrs. Bressler and Macri was allocated to us in recognition of their services provided to us pursuant to a Corporate Services Agreement between us and a subsidiary of iHeartMedia. Those allocated amounts are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below, along with any compensation that we or our subsidiaries provided to them directly. See footnote (g) to the Summary Compensation Table below for a description of the allocations. Additionally, upon termination or a change in control, a portion of certain payments that would be due to Messrs. Bressler and Macri would be allocated to us, as reflected in the Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control table set forth below. These allocations were or would be made, as applicable, based on Clear Channel Outdoor’s OIBDAN (as defined below) as a percentage of iHeartMedia’s OIBDAN for the prior year, each as reported in connection with year-end financial results. For purposes of these allocations, OIBDAN is defined as: consolidated net income (loss) adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses and amortization of deferred system implementation costs as well as the following line items presented in the Statement of Operations: income tax benefit

(expense); other income (expense), net; equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates; interest expense; interest income on the Due from iHeartCommunications Note; other operating income, net; depreciation and amortization; and impairment charges. Mr. Pittman’s compensation is paid by iHeartMedia and is not allocated to us.

All references in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis to compensation policies and practices for our executive officers should be read to exclude the compensation policies and practices applicable to Messrs. Pittman, Bressler and Macri and any other executive officers whose compensation was determined by iHeartMedia, other than with respect to Clear Channel Outdoor equity awards provided to those individuals. Accordingly, except as otherwise indicated below, references in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis to our named executive officers are intended to include:

•

C. William Eccleshare, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of our International division (“CCI”); and

•

Scott R. Wells, Chief Executive Officer of our Americas division (“CCOA”).

COMPENSATION PRACTICES

The Compensation Committee typically determines total compensation, as well as the individual components of such compensation, of our named executive officers (other than Messrs. Pittman, Bressler and Macri) on an annual basis. All compensation decisions are made within the scope of each named executive officer’s employment agreement, if any.

In making decisions with respect to each element of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the total compensation that may be awarded to the executive, including salary, annual incentive bonus and long-term incentive compensation. Multiple factors are considered in determining the amount of total compensation awarded to the named executive officers, including:

•

the terms of our named executive officers’ employment agreements, if any;

•

the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer;

•

the value of previous equity awards;

•

internal pay equity considerations; and

•

broad trends in executive compensation generally.

The goal is to award compensation that is reasonable when all elements of potential compensation are considered.

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

As described above, we believe that a combination of various elements of compensation best serves the interests of Clear Channel Outdoor and its stockholders. Having a variety of compensation elements enables us to meet the requirements of the highly competitive environment in which we operate while ensuring that our named executive officers are compensated in a way that advances the interests of all stockholders. Under this approach, executive compensation generally involves a significant portion of pay that is “at risk,” namely, the annual incentive bonus. The annual incentive bonus is based entirely on financial performance, individual performance or a combination of both. In conjunction with the annual incentive bonus awards, the Compensation Committee also may provide annual discretionary bonuses or additional bonus opportunities to our named executive officers, which also would be based on financial performance, individual performance or a combination of both. Equity awards constitute a significant portion of long-term remuneration that is tied directly to stock price appreciation, which benefits all stockholders.

Our practices with respect to each of the elements of executive compensation are set forth below, followed by a discussion of the specific factors relevant to the named executive officers.

Base Salary

Administration. Base salaries for executive officers typically are reviewed on an annual basis and at the time of promotion or other change in responsibilities. In general, any increases in salary will be based on the subjective evaluation of factors such as the level of responsibility, individual performance, level of pay both of the executive in question and other similarly situated executives and competitive pay practices. All decisions regarding increasing or decreasing an executive officer’s base salary are made within the scope of the executive’s respective employment agreement, if any. In the case of our named executive officers who have employment agreements with us, each of their employment agreements contains a minimum level of base salary, as described below under “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers.”

In reviewing base salaries, the Compensation Committee considers the importance of linking a significant proportion of the named executive officer’s compensation to performance in the form of the annual incentive bonus (plus any annual discretionary bonuses or additional bonus opportunities), which is tied to financial performance measures, individual performance, or a combination of both, as well as long-term incentive compensation.

Analysis. Mr. Eccleshare’s base salary increased to $1,000,000 in connection with his promotion to serve as our Chief Executive Officer on January 24, 2012. Mr. Eccleshare’s base salary remained at that level for 2017.

In March 2015, we hired Mr. Wells as Chief Executive Officer of our Americas division. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Wells was provided an initial base salary of $750,000. His base salary remained at that level for 2017.

For a more detailed description of the employment agreements of the named executive officers, please refer to “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers.”

Annual Incentive Plan

Administration. Each of our named executive officers participates in our 2015 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”), other than Messrs. Pittman, Bressler and Macri, who participate in iHeartMedia’s 2015 Executive Incentive Plan. The Annual Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and is intended to provide an incentive to the named executive officers and other selected key executives to contribute to the growth, profitability and increased stockholder value and to retain such executives. Under the Annual Incentive Plan, participants are eligible for performance-based awards, which represent the conditional right to receive cash or other property based upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals within a specified performance period. No single participant may receive more than $15,000,000 in awards in any calendar year. The Annual Incentive Plan was designed to allow awards to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code.

The performance goals for our named executive officers are set pursuant to an extensive annual operating plan developed by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Board, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior executive officers of Clear Channel Outdoor, within any parameters specified within each executive’s employment agreement. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations as to the compensation levels and performance goals of our named executive officers (other than his own) to the Compensation Committee for its review, consideration and approval. The Compensation Committee has complete discretion to accept, reject or modify the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.

The 2017 annual incentive bonuses were based on the following performance goals (as further described below): (1) Mr. Eccleshare’s performance goals were based upon achievement of a targeted OIBDAN level for CCI and certain qualitative performance objectives which contributed to CCI’s performance, and (2) Mr. Wells’ performance goals were based on the achievement of a targeted OIBDAN level for CCOA, excluding Latin America, and Latin America and certain qualitative performance objectives, which contributed to CCOA’s performance.

The annual incentive bonus amounts are determined according to the level of achievement of the objective OIBDAN-based performance goals and the individual qualitative performance goals. No award is earned under the objective performance goal below a minimum threshold of performance (90% of the applicable target OIBDAN for each individual) and a maximum amount is earned under the objective performance goal for performance at or above a maximum level (115% of the applicable target OIBDAN for each individual). The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the awards earned pursuant to either the objective or individual qualitative performance goals, as applicable.

The Compensation Committee follows the process set forth below to determine the annual incentive bonuses for Messrs. Eccleshare and Wells:

•

at the outset of the fiscal year:

•

set performance goals for the year for Clear Channel Outdoor and the operating divisions;

•

set individual performance goals for each participant; and

•

set a target and maximum annual incentive bonus for each applicable participant; and

•

after the end of the fiscal year, determine the earned amounts by measuring actual performance against the predetermined goals of Clear Channel Outdoor and the operating divisions, as well as any individual performance goals.

Analysis. In determining whether the 2017 financial performance goals were met, the Compensation Committee considered the financial results of Clear Channel Outdoor and its operating divisions from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. For 2017, the performance-based goals applicable to our named executive officers are set forth under “—Summary of 2017 Cash Incentive Payments for each Named Executive Officer” below.

For 2017, Clear Channel Outdoor’s OIBDAN performance was negatively impacted by the macroeconomic environment. As a result, Clear Channel Outdoor and its operating divisions did not meet their OIBDAN targets and the annual incentive bonus awards were paid below the target bonus levels.

Supplemental Incentive Plan

Administration. Mr. Eccleshare participates in the Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. 2015 Supplemental Incentive Plan (the “SIP”). Our stockholders approved the SIP in May 2015.

The SIP is intended to provide additional bonus opportunities as an incentive to the executive officers to contribute to the growth, profitability and increased stockholder value of Clear Channel Outdoor and for the retention of such executives. Under the SIP, participants are eligible for performance-based awards, which represent the conditional right to receive cash or other property based upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals within a specified performance period. No single participant may receive more than $15,000,000 in awards in any calendar year. The performance period for awards under the SIP is twelve months. The achievement of an earned award is determined as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable performance period. Unless otherwise communicated to a participant in a written agreement, payment of the awards shall not occur until the 90-day period following the third anniversary of the beginning of the applicable performance period, subject to the participant’s continued employment through such payment date. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare’s earned SIP bonuses are paid by Clear Channel Outdoor in equal cash installments on or about the first, second and third anniversary of the beginning of the applicable performance period, in each case contingent upon his continued employment through the applicable payment date.

In 2017, Mr. Eccleshare received a SIP bonus opportunity based on certain qualitative performance objectives, which contributed to CCI’s performance.

Analysis. For 2017, the individual performance-based goals for Mr. Eccleshare are set forth under “—Summary of 2017 Cash Incentive Payments for each Named Executive Officer” below. Following the end of 2017, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Eccleshare met his performance objectives, and Mr. Eccleshare’s 2017 SIP bonus was earned at 100% of target. The Compensation Committee believed that the payment of SIP awards in increments over a three-year period, subject to continued employment, would enhance the retention value of these awards.

Summary of 2017 Cash Incentive Payments for each Named Executive Officer

C. William Eccleshare

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare’s target bonus for 2017 under the Annual Incentive Plan was set at $1,000,000, with 70% based on the achievement of OIBDAN at CCI of $246.5 million and 30% based on the achievement of the other qualitative performance objectives described below. His maximum bonus for 2017 was set at $2,000,000. For purposes of calculating Mr. Eccleshare’s bonus, OIBDAN was calculated in the same manner as CCI’s reportable OIBDAN, with further adjustments to calculate on a constant currency basis, to exclude restructuring expenses and to allocate the applicable corporate expenses to CCI. CCI’s reportable OIBDAN is defined as CCI’s operating income adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses, included within corporate expenses, as well as Depreciation and amortization; Impairment charges; and Other operating income (expense), net. Mr. Eccleshare’s individual qualitative performance objectives for 2017 consisted of: (1) re-shaping CCI’s operating model; (2) talent and succession planning; (3) continuing to outperform the out-of-home market; (4) increasing digital revenue; and (5) remaining focused on compliance and regulation. CCI’s 2017 OIBDAN was approximately $208.5 million, which was below the OIBDAN minimum. Based on Mr. Eccleshare’s level of achievement of his qualitative performance objectives described above, Mr. Eccleshare received an annual incentive bonus of $300,000. In addition, based on the subjective review of Mr. Eccleshare’s performance by our Compensation Committee, Mr. Eccleshare received an additional $250,000 bonus in respect of 2017 performance, for an aggregate 2017 bonus of $550,000. The annual incentive bonus of $300,000 is reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column and the additional $250,000 bonus is reflected in the Bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2017.

Pursuant to a SIP bonus opportunity approved for Mr. Eccleshare by our Compensation Committee with respect to 2017 performance, Mr. Eccleshare also earned an additional $300,000 SIP bonus based on achieving the following additional performance objectives established by our Compensation Committee for Mr. Eccleshare with respect to our business: (1) positioning CCI at the forefront of programmatic delivery in the out-of-home environment; and (2) partnering with iHeartMedia on restructuring transactions and managing any impact on CCI. Of the $300,000 SIP bonus earned with respect to 2017 performance, $100,000 was paid at the end of February 2018, and the remaining $200,000 will be paid in equal installments of $100,000 each at the same time as the annual incentive bonus payments in 2019 and 2020 if Mr. Eccleshare remains employed on the applicable payment dates. In addition, at the end of February 2018, Mr. Eccleshare was paid the third of three $80,000 installments pursuant to his earned 2015 SIP bonus. He was also paid the second of three $90,000 installments pursuant to his earned 2016 SIP bonus. The final $90,000 installment of the 2016 SIP bonus will be paid at the same time as the annual incentive bonus payments are paid generally in 2019 if Mr. Eccleshare remains employed on the payment date. The $80,000 payment of the 2015 SIP bonus, the $90,000 payment of the 2016 SIP bonus and the $100,000 payment of the 2017 SIP bonus are reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2017.

In March 2017, in accordance with his amended employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare received a cash payment of $1.1 million as a bonus in lieu of the severance payment Mr. Eccleshare would have been entitled to pursuant to a prior employment agreement, which payment was conditioned on his continued employment through March 2017. This payment is reflected in the Bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2017.

Pursuant to the amendment to his employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare was paid a retention award of $875,000 on January 1, 2018, which will be reflected as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table for 2018. This retention award is subject to his continued employment through June 30, 2019. He will also receive an additional retention payment of $875,000 on January 1, 2020 subject to his continued employment through June 30, 2020.

Scott R. Wells

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Wells’ target bonus for 2017 under the Annual Incentive Plan was set at $750,000, with 65% based on the achievement of OIBDAN at CCOA, excluding Latin America, of $443.9 million, 5% based on the achievement of Latin America OIBDAN of $24.1 million and 30% based on the achievement of the other qualitative performance objectives described below. His maximum bonus for 2017 was set at $1,500,000. For purposes of calculating Mr. Wells’ bonus, OIBDAN was calculated in the same manner as CCOA’s reportable OIBDAN, with further adjustments to calculate on a constant currency basis, to exclude restructuring expenses and to allocate the applicable corporate expenses to CCOA. CCOA’s reportable OIBDAN is defined as CCOA’s operating income adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses, included within corporate expenses, as well as Depreciation and amortization; Impairment charges; and Other operating income (expense), net. Mr. Wells’ individual qualitative performance objectives for 2017 consisted of: (1) proactively managing liquidity levers while still strategically driving footprint growth; (2) driving national sales group growth; (3) driving customer valued innovation to increase use of Outdoor by national advertisers; (4) embedding solution-selling techniques and digital fluency in our local markets and reducing customer churn; (5) continuing to drive winning culture and high talent standards; (6) resolving our Los Angeles digital billboard litigation; and (7) continuing to raise the bar for a winning culture at CCOA. The 2017 CCOA OIBDAN, excluding Latin America, was approximately $409.9 million which was below the OIBDAN target but above the OIBDAN minimum. The Latin America OIBDAN was approximately $22.6 million which was below the OIBDAN target, but above the OIBDAN minimum. Based on the achieved OIBDAN levels, together with Mr. Wells’ level of achievement of his qualitative performance objectives described above, Mr. Wells received an annual incentive bonus of $551,396. The annual incentive bonus of $551,396 is reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2017.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Administration. Our named executive officers participate in our 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan or our previous 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Stock Incentive Plan”), which allow for the issuance of incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards. The 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee. See “Executive Compensation—Grants of Plan-Based Awards” for a more detailed description of the 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2017, there were 247 employees holding outstanding stock incentive awards under the 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan and the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. In general, the level of long-term incentive compensation is determined based on an evaluation of competitive factors in conjunction with total compensation provided to the executive officers and the overall goals of the compensation program described above. Long-term incentive compensation typically has been paid in stock options and/or restricted stock or restricted stock units with time-vesting conditions and/or vesting conditions tied to predetermined performance goals. The Board believes equity ownership is important for purposes of executive retention and alignment of interests with stockholders.

Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Long-term incentive compensation may be granted to our named executive officers in the form of stock options, with exercise prices of not less than fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant and with a 10-year term. We typically define fair market value as the closing price on the date of grant. Long-term incentive compensation also may be granted to our named executive officers in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards. Vesting schedules are set by the Compensation Committee in its discretion and vary on a case by case basis. All vesting is contingent on continued employment, with rare exceptions made by the Compensation Committee. See “Executive Compensation—Potential Post-Employment Payments” for a description of the treatment of the named executive officers’ equity awards upon termination or change in control. All decisions to award the named executive officers stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units are in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Analysis. Effective as of February 24, 2017, in lieu of dividends that were paid to stockholders, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Eccleshare (i) an award of 20,719 restricted stock units which vest based on time according to the original vesting schedules of the outstanding restricted stock unit awards; and (ii) 2,702 shares of Clear Channel Outdoor Class A common stock. Also, on June 30, 2017, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Eccleshare an award of 70,588 restricted stock units, which shall vest based on time.

On June 28, 2017, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Wells an award of 88,235 restricted shares, which shall vest based on time. Also, on September 7, 2017, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Wells an award of 208,333 restricted shares, which shall vest based on time.

As mentioned above, the Compensation Committee typically considers internal pay equity when determining the amount of long-term incentive compensation to grant to our named executive officers. However, the Committee does so broadly and does not have a specific policy, or seek to follow established guidelines or formulas, to maintain a particular ratio of long-term incentive compensation among the named executive officers or other executives. For further information about the 2017 long-term incentive awards, please refer to the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and the “Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers” sections appearing later under the “Executive Compensation” heading in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Equity Award Grant Timing Practices

Regular Annual Equity Award Grant Dates. The grant date for regular annual stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, for employees, including the named executive officers and for our independent directors, typically is in the first half of the year. During 2017, our compensation committee granted equity awards to our named executive officers in September, and our Board granted equity awards to our independent directors in July 2017. See “Director Compensation” set forth below in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. for additional information regarding the compensation program for our independent directors.

Employee New Hires/Promotions Grant Dates. Grants of stock options and other equity awards, if any, to newly-hired or newly promoted employees generally are made at the time of hire or promotion or at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee immediately following the hire or promotion. However, timing may vary as provided in a particular employee’s agreement or to accommodate the Compensation Committee.

Initial Equity Award Grant Dates for Newly-Elected Independent Directors. Grants of stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, to newly-elected independent directors generally are made at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board following their election. If an independent director is appointed between regularly scheduled Board meetings, then grants of stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, generally are made at the first meeting in attendance after such appointment.

Timing of Equity Awards. We do not have a formal policy on the timing of equity awards in connection with the release of material non-public information to affect the value of compensation. In the event that material non-public information becomes known to the Compensation Committee prior to granting equity awards, the Compensation Committee will take the existence of such information under advisement and make an assessment in its business judgment regarding whether to delay the grant of the equity award in order to avoid any potential impropriety.

Executive Benefits and Perquisites

We provide certain personal benefits to our named executive officers. The primary personal benefits provided to one or more of the named executive officers include: (1) certain pension benefits (or payments in lieu thereof) in the United Kingdom; (2) company matching 401(k) contributions in the U.S.; (3) tax services and gross-up; (4) private medical insurance for officers who are not U.S. citizens; (5) supplemental life insurance; (6) legal fees; (7) personal use of Company aircraft; and (8) transportation, automobile allowances and the use of a car service.

Mr. Eccleshare participates in a private pension scheme (not sponsored by Clear Channel Outdoor) and, pursuant to his employment agreement, is entitled to have the Company contribute a portion of his salary to the private pension scheme. The pension scheme provides pension income at retirement based upon contributions made during the employee’s years of participation. Mr. Eccleshare is required to make contributions to this scheme in order for the Company to make contributions (or provide cash benefits to him as salary in lieu of such contributions). He also receives a car allowance in the United Kingdom, private medical insurance and we have agreed to make a car service available for his business use in the United States. In addition, we provide private medical insurance benefits and supplemental life insurance to Mr. Eccleshare.

The Compensation Committee believes that the above benefits provide a more tangible incentive than an equivalent amount of cash compensation. In determining the named executive officers’ total compensation, the Compensation Committee will consider these benefits. However, as these benefits and perquisites represent a relatively small portion of the named executive officers’ total compensation, it is unlikely that they will materially influence the Compensation Committee’s decision in setting such named executive officers’ total compensation. For further discussion of these benefits and perquisites, including the methodology for computing their costs, please refer to the Summary Compensation Table included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as well as the All Other Compensation table included in footnote (d) to the Summary Compensation Table. For further information about other benefits provided to the named executive officers, please refer to “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers.”

Severance Arrangements

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, each of our named executive officers is entitled to certain payments and benefits in certain termination situations or upon a change in control. We believe that our severance arrangements facilitate an orderly transition in the event of changes in management. For further discussion of severance payments and benefits, see “Executive Compensation—Potential Post-Employment Payments” set forth below in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Roles and Responsibilities

Role of the Committee. The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for conducting reviews of our executive compensation policies and strategies, overseeing and evaluating our overall compensation structure and programs, setting executive compensation, setting performance goals and evaluating the performance of executive officers against those goals and approving equity awards. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are described above under “The Board of Directors—Committees of the Board.”

Role of Executive Officers. The Chief Executive Officer provides reviews and recommendations regarding executive compensation programs, policies and governance for the Compensation Committee’s consideration. His responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

•

providing an ongoing review of the effectiveness of the compensation programs, including competitiveness and alignment with Clear Channel Outdoor’s objectives;

•

recommending changes and new programs, if necessary, to ensure achievement of all program objectives; and

•

recommending pay levels, payout and awards for executive officers other than himself.

The Compensation Committee has the responsibility for administrating performance awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. These duties included, among other things, setting the performance period, setting the performance goals and certifying the achievement of the predetermined performance goals by each named executive officer.

Use of Compensation Consultants. As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” our parent entity provides us with certain services, including human resources support. During 2017, iHeartMedia’s management retained Willis Towers Watson (“Willis”) to provide (1) executive compensation benchmarking data, and (2) incentive and retention compensation design advice.

iHeartMedia requested and received responses from Willis addressing its independence, including the following factors: (1) other services provided to iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries by Willis; (2) fees paid iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries as a percentage of Willis’ total revenue; (3) policies or procedures maintained by Willis that are designed to prevent a conflict of interest; (4) any business or personal relationships between the individual consultants involved in the engagements and a member of the Compensation Committee; (5) any iHeartMedia or Clear Channel Outdoor stock owned by the individual consultants involved in the engagements; and (6) any business or personal relationships between our executive officers and Willis or the individual consultants involved in the engagements. The iHeartMedia Compensation Committee discussed these considerations and concluded that Willis’ work does not raise any conflict of interest.

TAX AND ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation Clear Channel Outdoor may deduct for Federal income tax purposes in any one year with respect to certain senior executives of Clear Channel Outdoor, which we referred to herein as the “Covered Employees.” The exemption from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit for performance-based compensation has been repealed, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, such that compensation paid to our covered executive officers in excess of $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017.

In reviewing the effectiveness of the executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment to Clear Channel Outdoor and to the Covered Employees of various payments and benefits. To maintain flexibility in compensating the named executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the Compensation Committee will not necessarily limit executive compensation to that which is deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code and has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible. The Compensation Committee will consider various alternatives to preserving the deductibility of compensation payments and may award compensation that is not deductible to the extent consistent with its other compensation objectives.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Clear Channel Outdoor accounts for stock-based payments, including awards under the 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 718 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R)).

Mr. Eccleshare is reimbursed for car service use for commuting and other personal purposes. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare receives certain tax and other benefits.

Except as described below with respect to aircraft usage, the value of all benefits included in the All Other Compensation column is based on actual costs. For a description of the items reflected in the table above, see “—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers” below.

From time to time, our officers use aircraft owned or leased by iHeartMedia, pursuant to iHeartMedia’s Aircraft Policy. The value of personal aircraft usage reported above is based on iHeartMedia’s direct variable operating costs. This methodology calculates an average variable cost per hour of flight. iHeartMedia applies the same methodology to aircraft that are covered by contracts with an outside aircraft management company under which iHeartMedia reimburses the aircraft management company

for costs that would otherwise be incurred directly by iHeartMedia (including crew salaries, insurance, fuel and hangar rent) and pays them a monthly management fee for the oversight and administrative services that would otherwise have to be provided by iHeartMedia. On certain occasions, an executive’s spouse or other family members and guests may accompany the executive on a flight and the additional direct operating cost incurred in such situations is included under the foregoing methodology.

(e)

Mr. Pittman became Chief Executive Officer of iHeartMedia on October 2, 2011 and was appointed as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on March 2, 2015. Mr. Pittman’s compensation is paid by iHeartMedia and is not allocated to Clear Channel Outdoor. Accordingly, all of Mr. Pittman’s compensation for 2017 is reflected in iHeartMedia’s Summary Compensation Table for 2017.

(f)	Mr. Bressler became our Chief Financial Officer on July 29, 2013. The summary compensation information presented above for Mr. Bressler reflects his service in that capacity during 2015, 2016 and 2017.

(g)

As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” a subsidiary of iHeartMedia provides, among other things, certain executive officer services to us. Pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement, based on our OIBDAN as a percentage of iHeartCommunications’ total OIBDAN, we were allocated 35.66% of certain amounts for 2017, 37.71% of certain amounts for 2016, and 38.72% of certain amounts for 2015. For Mr. Bressler, allocated amounts are determined by applying the applicable percentage against all of his 2017, 2016 and 2015 iHeartMedia compensation. For Mr. Macri, the 2017, 2016 and 2015 are determined by applying the applicable percentage against half of his 2017, 2016 and 2015 compensation, based on the portion of his role that is tied to Clear Channel Outdoor as Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance (50%). For Mr. Pittman, none of his 2017, 2016 and 2015 from iHeartMedia compensation was allocated to Clear Channel Outdoor.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Messrs. Eccleshare and Wells have employment agreements with us and Messrs. Pittman, Bressler and Macri have employment agreements with iHeartMedia. Certain elements of their compensation are determined based on their respective employment agreements. The descriptions of the employment agreements set forth below do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the employment agreements. For further discussion of the amounts of salary and bonus and other forms of compensation, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

Each of the employment agreements discussed below provides for severance and change in control payments as more fully described under “—Potential Post-Employment Payments” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” iHeartCommunications, our indirect parent entity, makes available to us, and we are obligated to use, the services of certain executive officers of iHeartCommunications, and a portion of their compensation is allocated to us in recognition of their services provided to us. Accordingly, a portion of the compensation for 2017, 2016 and 2015 for Richard J. Bressler and Steven J. Macri was allocated to us in recognition of their services provided to us under the Corporate Services Agreement. The provisions of the employment agreements for Messrs. Bressler and Macri are described below to the extent that amounts payable thereunder would be or have been allocated to us under the Corporate Services Agreement.

Robert W. Pittman

On October 2, 2011, iHeartMedia entered into an employment agreement with Robert W. Pittman, pursuant to which he serves as Chief Executive Officer of iHeartMedia and served as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of CCOH. On March 2, 2015, Mr. Pittman became the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CCOH. The October 2, 2011 employment agreement superseded the consulting agreement that Mr. Pittman previously entered into with iHeartMedia and Pilot Group Manager LLC, dated November 15, 2010, and had an initial term ending on December 31, 2016, with automatic 12-month extensions thereafter unless either party provided prior notice electing not to extend the employment agreement. On January 13, 2014, iHeartMedia entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Pittman. The amended and restated employment agreement has an initial five-year term ending on January 13, 2019, with automatic 12-month extensions thereafter unless either party gives prior notice electing not to extend the agreement.

Pursuant to his amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Pittman’s minimum base salary is $1,200,000 per year. His base salary may be increased (but not decreased) at the discretion of iHeartMedia’s Board or its compensation committee. Mr. Pittman also has the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus for the achievement of reasonable performance goals established annually by iHeartMedia’s Board or its compensation committee after consultation with Mr. Pittman. Under the amended and restated employment agreement, beginning in 2014, Mr. Pittman’s aggregate target annual performance bonus is 150% of his annual base salary. For 2017, Mr. Pittman received an annual incentive bonus of $1,800,000, which included an additional bonus in respect of 2017 performance of $1,260,000. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus.”

Mr. Pittman is entitled to participate in all pension, profit sharing and other retirement plans, all incentive compensation plans, all group health, hospitalization and disability or other insurance plans, paid vacation, sick leave and other employee welfare benefit plans in which other similarly situated employees of iHeartMedia may participate. In addition, during the term of his employment, iHeartMedia will make an aircraft (which, to the extent available, will be a Dassault-Breguet Mystere Falcon 900) available to Mr. Pittman for his business and personal use and will pay all costs associated with the provision of the aircraft. iHeartMedia leases this aircraft from a company controlled by Mr. Pittman. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Commercial Transactions.” If a company aircraft is not available due to service or maintenance issues, iHeartMedia will charter a comparable aircraft for Mr. Pittman’s business and personal use. iHeartMedia also will make a car and driver available for Mr. Pittman’s business and personal use in and around the New York area as well as anywhere else on company business.

Pursuant to his previous employment agreement, on October 2, 2011, Mr. Pittman was granted a stock option to purchase 830,000 shares of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” below. In connection with the amended and restated employment agreement, on January 13, 2014, iHeartMedia and Mr. Pittman amended his stock option to terminate and forfeit 200,000 of the options. The termination and forfeiture applied ratably such that, effective January 13, 2014, 252,000 of the options were vested and 378,000 of the options vested ratably on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the October 2, 2011 grant date.

Pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreement, on January 13, 2014, iHeartMedia granted Mr. Pittman 350,000 restricted shares of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock. Mr. Pittman’s iHeartMedia restricted stock award is divided into two tranches consisting of: (1) 100,000 shares (the “Tranche 1 Shares”) and (2) 250,000 shares (the “Tranche 2 Shares”). The Tranche 1 Shares vest in two equal parts on each of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018. The Tranche 2 Shares vest only if the Sponsors receive a 100% return on their investment in iHeartMedia in the form of cash returns. In addition, as provided in the amended and restated employment agreement, on January 13, 2014, CCOH granted Mr. Pittman 271,739 restricted shares of Clear Channel Outdoor’s Class A common stock. Mr. Pittman’s CCOH restricted stock award vested in two equal parts on each of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

Mr. Pittman’s amended and restated employment agreement contains a 280G “gross-up” provision that applies in certain circumstances in which any payments (the “Company Payments”) received by Mr. Pittman are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” subject to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any such excise tax is imposed, the stockholder approval rules of Q&A 6 in the applicable Section 280G regulations (the “Cleansing Vote Rules”) are applicable and Mr. Pittman declines to submit such excess parachute payments for approval by iHeartMedia’s stockholders, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Pittman an amount equal to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are not applicable, Mr. Pittman will be entitled to a gross-up payment equal to (1) the excise tax and (2) any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll tax imposed on the gross-up payment (excluding any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll taxes otherwise imposed on the Company Payments); provided that if the Company Payments are found to be equal to or less than 110% of the “safe harbor” amount referenced in the amended and restated employment agreement, the Company Payments will be reduced to equal the safe harbor amount, such that no excise tax will be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Pittman is required to protect the secrecy of the confidential information of iHeartMedia, CCOH and the subsidiaries of each (the “Company Group”). He also is prohibited by the agreement from engaging in certain activities that compete with the Company Group during employment and for 18 months after his employment terminates, and he is prohibited from soliciting employees or customers of the Company Group during employment and for 18 months after termination of employment. iHeartMedia agreed to defend and indemnify Mr. Pittman for acts committed in the course and scope of his employment.

Richard J. Bressler

On July 29, 2013, iHeartMedia entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bressler. The employment agreement has an initial term ending on December 31, 2018, with automatic 12-month extensions beginning on January 1, 2019 unless either party gives prior notice electing not to extend the employment agreement.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Bressler receives a base salary from iHeartMedia at a rate no less than $1,200,000 per year, subject to increase at the discretion of iHeartMedia’s board of directors or its compensation committee. Mr. Bressler also has the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus from iHeartMedia for the achievement of reasonable performance goals established annually by iHeartMedia’s board of directors or its compensation committee after consultation with Mr. Bressler. The annual target

performance bonus that may be earned from iHeartMedia when all of Mr. Bressler’s performance objectives are achieved will be not less than 150% of Mr. Bressler’s base salary amount. In addition to the annual bonus, Mr. Bressler is also eligible for an additional annual bonus opportunity under the iHeartMedia SIP of up to $500,000, based on iHeartMedia’s achievement of one or more annual performance goals determined by iHeartMedia’s chief executive officer and approved by iHeartMedia’s board of directors or a committee thereof. Any SIP bonus amounts will be paid during the quarter that follows the third anniversary of the beginning of the applicable performance period and will be contingent in each case upon Mr. Bressler’s continued employment through the applicable payment date. For 2017, Mr. Bressler received from iHeartMedia an annual incentive bonus of $1,800,000, which included an additional bonus in respect of 2017 performance of $1,260,000. Mr. Bressler also earned an additional bonus of $500,000 under the iHeartMedia SIP with respect to 2017. Mr. Bressler also is entitled to participate in all pension, profit sharing and other retirement plans, all incentive compensation plans, all group health, hospitalization and disability or other insurance plans, paid vacation, sick leave and other employee welfare benefit plans in which other similarly situated employees of iHeartMedia may participate.

During the term of his employment, iHeartMedia will make a car service available for Mr. Bressler’s business use.

Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement contains a 280G “gross-up” provision that applies in certain circumstances in which any payments (the “Company Payments”) received by Mr. Bressler are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” subject to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any such excise tax is imposed, the stockholder approval rules of Q&A 6 in the applicable Section 280G regulations (the “Cleansing Vote Rules”) are applicable and Mr. Bressler declines to submit the excess parachute payments for approval by iHeartMedia’s stockholders, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Bressler an amount equal to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are not applicable, Mr. Bressler will be entitled to a gross-up payment equal to (1) the excise tax and (2) any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll tax imposed on such gross-up payment (excluding any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll taxes otherwise imposed on the Company Payments); provided that if the Company Payments are found to be equal to or less than 110% of the “safe harbor” amount referenced in Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement, the Company Payments will be reduced to equal the safe harbor amount, such that no excise tax will be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

As provided in Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement, on July 29, 2013, Clear Channel Outdoor granted Mr. Bressler 271,739 restricted shares of the Class A common stock of Clear Channel Outdoor. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” below for a description of the terms of the award. In addition, on July 29, 2013, iHeartMedia granted Mr. Bressler 910,000 restricted shares of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Bressler is required to protect the secrecy of the confidential information of iHeartMedia, Clear Channel Outdoor and the subsidiaries of each (the “Company Group”). He also is prohibited by the agreement from engaging in certain activities that compete with the Company Group during employment and for 18 months after his employment terminates, and he is prohibited from soliciting employees or customers of the Company Group during employment and for 18 months after termination of employment. iHeartMedia agreed to defend and indemnify Mr. Bressler for acts committed in the course and scope of his employment.

C. William Eccleshare

January 24, 2012 Employment Agreement. On January 24, 2012, Mr. Eccleshare was promoted to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor, overseeing both our Americas and International divisions. In connection with his promotion, Clear Channel Outdoor and Mr. Eccleshare entered into a new employment agreement. Mr. Eccleshare’s employment agreement has an initial term beginning on January 24, 2012 and continuing until December 31, 2014, with automatic 12-month extensions thereafter, beginning on January 1, 2015, unless either Clear Channel Outdoor or Mr. Eccleshare gives prior notice electing not to extend the employment agreement. The employment agreement replaces Mr. Eccleshare’s Contract of Employment dated August 31, 2009.

As our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Eccleshare relocated from our offices in London to our offices in New York City in 2012. In this position, Mr. Eccleshare received an annual base salary of $1,000,000; provided, however, that until Mr. Eccleshare relocated to the United States, his base salary was to be paid in British pounds (using an exchange rate of £1=$1.49). His salary will be reviewed at least annually for possible increase by our Board. During the term of the employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus with a target of not less than $1,000,000 and the opportunity to earn up to 200% of the target amount based on the achievement of the performance goals specified in his employment agreement for 2012 and the performance goals to be set by the Compensation Committee of our Board for years after 2012. In addition to the annual bonus, Mr. Eccleshare is eligible to receive a SIP bonus of up to $300,000 based on the achievement of one or more annual performance goals determined by our Board or a subcommittee thereof. Any bonus earned under the SIP bonus opportunity will be paid by us in equal cash installments on or about the first, second and third anniversary of the beginning of the applicable performance period and will be contingent in each case upon his continued employment through the applicable payment date. For 2017, Mr. Eccleshare

received an annual bonus of $550,000, including an additional bonus in respect of 2017 performance of $250,000. Mr. Eccleshare also (1) received an additional bonus payment of $80,000 provided pursuant to his 2015 SIP bonus; (2) received an additional bonus payment of $90,000 provided pursuant to his 2016 SIP bonus and (3) earned an additional bonus of $100,000 with respect to his 2017 SIP bonus, $100,000 of which was paid in February 2018 and $100,000 of which will be paid in equal installments in 2019 and 2020 when performance bonuses are generally paid if he remains employed on the applicable payment dates. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus.”

We continue to contribute to Mr. Eccleshare’s personal pension plan registered under Chapter 2, Part 4 of the Finance Act of 2004 in the United Kingdom, as provided in his previous Contract of Employment. We also agreed to reimburse Mr. Eccleshare for the reasonable costs and expenses (not to exceed $25,000 annually, fully grossed-up for applicable taxes) associated with filing his U.S. and U.K. personal income tax returns, as applicable. If Mr. Eccleshare’s actual U.S. and U.K. income tax and Social Security/National Insurance in a given year exceeds the tax obligations that he would have incurred on the same income (excluding all taxable income not paid by us or a subsidiary or affiliate) had he remained subject only to U.K. income tax and National Insurance over the same period, we will reimburse this excess tax on a fully-grossed up basis for applicable taxes. We also agreed to make a car service available for Mr. Eccleshare’s business use and paid all fees associated with the immigration applications for Mr. Eccleshare and his spouse. Mr. Eccleshare is eligible to receive health, medical, welfare and life insurance benefits and paid vacation on a basis no less favorable than provided to our similarly-situated senior executives; provided, however, that his life insurance benefit shall be for an amount equal to four times his annual base salary. Further, we agreed to make a car service available to Mr. Eccleshare for his business use. Mr. Eccleshare is also to be reimbursed for travel and entertainment related expenses, consistent with past practices pursuant to Company policy.

As provided in the employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare was awarded 506,329 restricted stock units with respect to our Class A common stock on July 26, 2012 in connection with his promotion. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” below.

During Mr. Eccleshare’s employment with us and for 18 months thereafter, Mr. Eccleshare is subject to non-competition, non-interference and non-solicitation covenants substantially consistent with our other senior executives. Mr. Eccleshare also is subject to customary confidentiality, work product and trade secret provisions. During the term of the employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare may continue to perform non-executive services with Centaur plc. Upon his service with Centaur plc ceasing, Mr. Eccleshare will be permitted to perform another non-executive role at any time with a business that does not compete with us or our affiliates, subject to our prior written consent that will not be unreasonably withheld.

Scott R. Wells

Effective March 3, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), CCOH entered into an employment agreement (the “Wells Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Wells. The Wells Employment Agreement has an initial term (the “Initial Term”) that ends on March 2, 2019 and thereafter provides for automatic four-year extensions, unless either CCOH or Mr. Wells gives prior notice electing not to extend the agreement. Subject to the termination provisions described below, Mr. Wells will receive a base salary from CCOH at a rate no less than $750,000 per year, which shall be increased at CCOH’s discretion.

In addition to the annual bonus, Mr. Wells is also eligible for an additional long-term incentive opportunity (the “Long-Term Incentive Amount”) from CCOH with an approximate value of $1,000,000 for each award, consistent with other comparable positions pursuant to the terms of the award agreement(s), taking into consideration demonstrated performance and potential, and subject to approval by the board of directors or the compensation committee of CCOH, as applicable. The Wells Employment Agreement also entitles Mr. Wells to participate in all employee welfare benefit plans in which other similarly situated employees of CCOH may participate. CCOH will reimburse Mr. Wells for the attorneys’ fees incurred by Mr. Wells in connection with the negotiation of the Wells Employment Agreement and ancillary documents, up to a maximum reimbursement of $25,000 in the aggregate. The Wells Employment Agreement also contains a customary confidentiality provision that survives Mr. Wells’ termination of employment, as well as customary non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply during employment and for the 12-month period thereafter.

If Mr. Wells’ employment with CCOH is terminated by CCOH without Cause (as defined in the Wells Employment Agreement), if Mr. Wells terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Wells Employment Agreement) or if Mr. Wells’ employment is terminated following CCOH’s notice of non-renewal, CCOH shall pay to Mr. Wells: (i) Mr. Wells’ accrued and unpaid base salary; (ii) any earned but unpaid prior year bonus, if any, through the date of termination; (iii) any unreimbursed business expenses; and (iv) any payments to which he may be entitled under any applicable employee benefit plan according to the terms of such plans and policies (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”). In addition, if Mr. Wells has signed and returned (and has not revoked) a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to CCOH by the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of his termination, CCOH will: (i) pay to Mr. Wells, in periodic payments over a period of 18 months following such date of termination in accordance with ordinary payroll practices and deductions in effect on the date of termination, Mr. Wells’ base salary; (ii) pay Mr. Wells in a lump sum an amount equal to the COBRA premium payments Mr. Wells would be required to pay for continuation of healthcare coverage during the 12-month period following the date of Mr. Wells’ termination (less the amount that Mr. Wells would have had to pay for such coverage as an active employee); (iii) pay to Mr. Wells a prorated bonus, calculated based upon performance as of the termination date as related to overall performance at the end of the calendar year; (iv) pay to Mr. Wells a separation bonus in an amount equal to the Target Bonus to which Mr. Wells would be entitled for the year in which Mr. Wells’ employment terminates; and (v) any unvested Time Vesting Options (as defined below) scheduled to vest within the twelve (12) month period following the date of termination will vest in full on the date of termination and any unvested Performance Vesting Options (as defined below) will remain eligible to vest for the three (3) month period following the date of termination.

If Mr. Wells’ employment with CCOH is terminated due to Mr. Wells’ death or disability or Mr. Wells elects not to renew his employment, CCOH will pay to Mr. Wells or to his designee or estate the Accrued Obligations.

As provided in the Wells Employment Agreement, the compensation committee of the board of directors of CCOH approved an award by CCOH, effective as of March 3, 2015, of options to purchase shares of CCOH’s Class A common stock having a value equal to $1,500,000 as of the award date (based on the Black-Scholes valuation method). Fifty percent of the award has performance-based vesting (the “Performance Vesting Options”) and fifty percent of the award vests over time (the “Time Vesting Options”). The Time Vesting Options will vest in equal amounts on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Effective Date, so long as Mr. Wells remains employed on the vesting date (except as previously set forth in the event of a termination by CCOH without Cause (as defined in the Wells Employment Agreement), if Mr. Wells terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Wells Employment Agreement) or if Mr. Wells’ employment is terminated following CCOH’s notice of non-renewal). The Performance Vesting Options will vest on the date that CCOA achieves certain financial and performance criteria, so long as Mr. Wells remains employed on the vesting date (except as previously set forth in the event of a termination by CCOH without Cause (as defined in the Wells Employment Agreement), if Mr. Wells terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Wells Employment Agreement) or if Mr. Wells’ employment is terminated following CCOH’s notice of non-renewal).

GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS

Stock Incentive Plans

Clear Channel Outdoor grants equity incentive awards to named executive officers and other eligible participants under its 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. The 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan is intended to facilitate the ability of Clear Channel Outdoor to attract, motivate and retain employees, directors and other personnel through the use of equity-based and other incentive compensation opportunities.

The 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of restricted stock, incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, director shares, deferred stock rights and other types of stock-based and/or performance-based awards to any present or future director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor of or to Clear Channel Outdoor or its subsidiaries.

The 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, except that the entire Board has sole authority for granting and administering awards to non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee determines which eligible persons receive an award and the types of awards to be granted as well as the amounts, terms and conditions of each award including, if relevant, the exercise price, the form of payment of the exercise price, the number of shares, cash or other consideration subject to the award and the vesting schedule. These terms and conditions will be set forth in the award agreement furnished to each participant at the time an award is granted to him or her under the 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee also makes other determinations and interpretations necessary to carry out the purposes of the 2012 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. For a description of the treatment of awards upon a participant’s termination of employment or change in control, see “—Potential Post-Employment Payments.”

Cash Incentive Plan

As discussed above, named executive officers also are eligible to receive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus” for a more detailed description of the Annual Incentive Plan and the grant of awards to the named executive officers thereunder.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning plan-based awards granted to the named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2017. As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions— iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” our parent entities provide us with, among other things, certain executive officer services. A portion (35.66% and 17.83%) of the annual incentive awards provided by our parent entities to Messrs. Bressler and Macri, respectively, with respect to 2017 was allocated to us in recognition of their services provided to us. Those allocated amounts are reflected in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2017 table below and 100% of the annual incentive awards to the named executive officers of iHeartMedia are reflected by iHeartMedia in the comparable table in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The amounts in the table reflect the full grant date fair value of time-vesting restricted stock awards computed in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 718, but excluding any impact of estimated forfeiture rates as required by SEC regulations. For assumptions made in the valuation, see footnote (b) to the Summary Compensation Table above and Note 8-Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) in Item 8 of the Original 2017 Form 10-K.

(b)

Messrs. Bressler and Macri received cash incentive awards from iHeartMedia under the iHeartMedia 2015 Executive Incentive Plan. The amounts shown for Messrs. Bressler and Macri reflect the allocated portion of their respective cash incentive awards under the iHeartMedia 2015 Executive Incentive Plan based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals. As described in footnote (e) to the Summary Compensation Table above, Mr. Pittman’s cash incentive award from iHeartMedia for 2017 was not allocated pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement. Messrs. Eccleshare and Wells received cash incentive awards from Clear Channel Outdoor under the Annual Incentive Plan. In addition, Messrs. Eccleshare, Bressler and Macri were eligible to participate in a bonus opportunity under the Clear Channel Outdoor SIP with respect to Clear Channel Outdoor’s 2017 performance in the case of Mr. Eccleshare and the iHeartMedia SIP with respect to iHeartMedia’s 2017 performance in the case of Messrs. Bressler and Macri.

Mr. Bressler had the opportunity to earn up to $500,000 from iHeartMedia ($178,300 of which would be allocated to Clear Channel Outdoor pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement) under the iHeartMedia SIP bonus opportunity and earned the full $500,000 based on 2017 performance, which was paid by iHeartMedia in February 2018 and contains a clawback provision, which requires him to repay the after-tax value of the bonus if certain termination events occur prior to January 1, 2020.

POTENTIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT PAYMENTS

The following narrative and table describe the potential payments or benefits upon termination, change in control or other post-employment scenarios for each of our named executive officers, using an assumed December 31, 2017 trigger event for each scenario.

As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” iHeartCommunications, our indirect parent entity, makes available to us, and we are obligated to use, the services of certain executive officers of iHeartCommunications and a portion of their salary and other personnel costs are allocated to us in recognition of their services provided to us. The provisions of their agreements are described below to the extent that amounts payable thereunder would be allocated to us under the Corporate Services Agreement upon termination, change in control or other post-employment scenario.

Robert W. Pittman

Termination by iHeartMedia for Cause, by Mr. Pittman without Good Cause or Upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement by Mr. Pittman. Robert W. Pittman’s employment agreement provides for the following payments and benefits upon termination by us for “Cause,” by Mr. Pittman without “Good Cause” or due to the non-renewal of the agreement by Mr. Pittman.

Under the agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (1) conduct by Mr. Pittman constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties; (2) continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by Mr. Pittman of his duties under the agreement (other than by reason of physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) where such non-performance has continued for more than 15 business days after written notice; (3) Mr. Pittman’s refusal or failure to follow lawful directives consistent with his job responsibilities where such refusal or failure has continued for more than 15 business days after written notice; (4) a criminal conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere by, Mr. Pittman for a felony or material violation of any securities law including, without limitation, a conviction of fraud, theft or embezzlement or a crime involving moral turpitude; (5) a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Pittman; or (6) a material violation by Mr. Pittman of iHeartMedia’s employment policies regarding harassment. In the case of (1), (3), (5) or (6), those acts will not constitute Cause unless Mr. Pittman has been given written notice specifying the conduct qualifying for Cause and Mr. Pittman fails to cure within 15 business days after receipt of the notice.

The term “Good Cause” includes, subject to certain exceptions: (1) a repeated willful failure by iHeartMedia to comply with a material term of the agreement after written notice by Mr. Pittman specifying the alleged failure; (2) a substantial and adverse change in Mr. Pittman’s position, material duties, responsibilities or authority; or (3) a material reduction in Mr. Pittman’s base salary, performance bonus opportunity or additional bonus opportunity. To terminate for Good Cause, Mr. Pittman must provide iHeartMedia with 30 days’ notice, after which iHeartMedia has 15 days to cure.

If iHeartMedia terminates Mr. Pittman’s employment for Cause, iHeartMedia will pay Mr. Pittman a lump sum cash payment equal to Mr. Pittman’s accrued and unpaid base salary through the date of termination and any payments to which he may be entitled under applicable employee benefit plans (“Accrued Amounts”). If Mr. Pittman terminates his employment without Good Cause or elects not to renew his employment agreement, iHeartMedia will pay Mr. Pittman a lump sum cash payment equal to his Accrued Amounts and any earned but unpaid annual bonus with respect to a previous year (“Earned Prior Year Annual Bonus”).

Termination by iHeartMedia without Cause, by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause, Upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement by iHeartMedia or Upon Change in Control. If iHeartMedia terminates Mr. Pittman’s employment without Cause, if Mr. Pittman terminates his employment for Good Cause or if iHeartMedia gives Mr. Pittman a notice of non-renewal, Mr. Pittman will receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to his Accrued Amounts and any Earned Prior Year Annual Bonus. In addition, provided he signs and returns a release of claims in the time period required, iHeartMedia will: (1) pay Mr. Pittman, over a period of two years, an amount equal to two times the sum of his base salary and target bonus; (2) reimburse Mr. Pittman for all COBRA premium payments paid by Mr. Pittman for continuation of healthcare coverage during the 18-month period following the date of Mr. Pittman’s termination; and (3) pay Mr. Pittman a prorated annual bonus with respect to the days he was employed in the year that includes the termination, calculated as if he had remained employed through the normal payment date (“Prorated Annual Bonus”). Mr. Pittman’s employment agreement does not provide for payments or benefits upon a change in control. Accordingly, if he is terminated without Cause after a change in control, Mr. Pittman will be entitled to the benefits described for a termination without Cause.

Termination due to Death or Disability. If Mr. Pittman is unable to perform his duties under the agreement on a full-time basis for more than 180 days in any 12-month period, iHeartMedia may terminate his employment. If Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Pittman or his designee or estate: (1) a lump sum cash payment equal to his Accrued Amounts; (2) any Earned Prior Year Annual Bonus; and (3) a Prorated Annual Bonus. If a release of claims is signed and returned in the time period required, iHeartMedia will reimburse Mr. Pittman or his estate for all COBRA premium payments paid by Mr. Pittman or his estate for continuation of healthcare coverage during the 18-month period following Mr. Pittman’s date of termination.

Impact of Termination on October 2, 2011 and October 15, 2012 Equity Awards. Except as described below, upon termination of Mr. Pittman’s employment, all of his outstanding and unvested iHeartMedia stock options granted on October 2, 2011 and restricted stock granted on October 15, 2012 will be cancelled. If Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated by iHeartMedia without Cause or by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause within 12 months after a change of control of iHeartMedia where the Sponsors do not receive cash as a direct result of such transaction in an amount equal to at least 75% of their equity interest in iHeartMedia immediately prior to the transaction, his unvested options will vest and become immediately exercisable. If Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated by iHeartMedia without Cause or by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause (in circumstances other than as described in the previous sentence), the portion of his unvested options that would have vested within 12 months after the date of termination will vest on the date of termination and become immediately exercisable. Upon termination of his employment due to death or disability, Mr. Pittman’s vested stock options will continue to be exercisable for the shorter of one year or the remaining 10-year term of the options. In the case of any termination of employment for a reason other than death or disability, Mr. Pittman’s vested stock options will continue to be exercisable for the shorter of six months or the remaining 10-year term of the options. If both of the following conditions occur during the six-month period after termination of Mr. Pittman’s employment, the period in which to exercise a vested option will be extended by an additional six months (in no event beyond the 10-year term of the options): (1) the average closing value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date the options would otherwise expire pursuant to the previous two sentences (the “Exercise Measurement Period”) is at least 20% less than for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the date Mr. Pittman’s employment terminated (the “Base Measurement Period”) and (2) the average closing price of the Class A common stock as reported on the principle exchange on which it is listed for trading during the Exercise Measurement Period is at least 25% less than the average closing price of the Class A common stock reported on such exchange for the Base Measurement Period. If Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated by iHeartMedia without Cause within 12 months after a change of control, his time-vesting iHeartMedia restricted stock granted on October 15, 2012 will vest.

On January 13, 2014, Mr. Pittman and iHeartMedia amended and restated Mr. Pittman’s employment agreement, providing certain additional benefits to Mr. Pittman, as described below.

Impact of Termination on Equity Awards Granted on January 13, 2014. In connection with Mr. Pittman’s amended and restated employment agreement, he was granted awards of restricted stock by iHeartMedia and CCOH on January 13, 2014.

The iHeartMedia restricted stock award granted on January 13, 2014 is divided into the Tranche 1 Shares and the Tranche 2 Shares. The Tranche 1 Shares will: (1) continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the award agreement upon a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement); (2) vest with respect to 50,000 shares in the event Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated by

iHeartMedia without Cause or by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause, because iHeartMedia does not renew his employment agreement or because of Mr. Pittman’s death or disability (each, a “Good Leaver Termination”); and (3) vest with respect to 100% of any unvested shares if a Good Leaver Termination occurs within 90 days of a Change in Control. The Tranche 2 Shares will: (1) in the case of a Good Leaver Termination, be subject to continued vesting for the six-month period following such termination in accordance with the Qualifying Return to Investor metrics set forth in the award agreement; (2) in the case of a Standalone CIC (defined as a Change in Control that the Board determines is not effected by an entity with material operating assets and after which the business and assets of iHeartMedia continue on a standalone basis materially consistent with immediately prior to the Change in Control), be converted to a dollar vesting schedule such that the Tranche 2 Shares will vest, if at all, at 100% on the date that the Fair Market Value (as defined in the award agreement) of one share of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock reaches $36; (3) in the case of a Good Leaver Termination that occurs during the 18-month period following a Standalone CIC, vest as to 75% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Standalone CIC takes place prior to the first anniversary of the grant date; vest as to 50% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Standalone CIC takes place on or after the first anniversary of the grant date but prior to the second anniversary of the grant date; and vest as to 25% of any unvested Tranche 2 if such Standalone CIC takes place on or after the second anniversary of the grant date but prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date; and (4) in the case of a Change of Control that is not a Standalone CIC, vest as to 75% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Change in Control takes place prior to the first anniversary of the grant date; vest as to 50% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Change in Control takes place on or after the first anniversary of the grant date but prior to the second anniversary of the grant date; and vest as to 25% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Change in Control takes place on or after the second anniversary of the grant date but prior to the third anniversary of the grant date. Any unvested shares that do not vest as described above will terminate on the date his employment terminates.

With respect to the CCOH restricted stock, in the event that Mr. Pittman’s employment with iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries is terminated by iHeartMedia for a reason other than Cause or by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause, 50% of any shares of CCOH restricted stock that would otherwise vest within 12 months after such termination will remain outstanding and vest on the date such shares would otherwise have vested, except that if such termination occurs during the 90-day period prior to or the 12-month period following a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement), 100% of any unvested CCOH restricted stock will vest upon the consummation of such Change in Control (or on the termination date in the case of a termination following a Change in Control). If Mr. Pittman ceases to be Executive Chairman of the Board of CCOH but continues to be employed by iHeartMedia, all unvested shares of CCOH restricted stock outstanding as of such termination will be converted into a number of shares of restricted stock of iHeartMedia having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in iHeartMedia’s Stock Incentive Plan) equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such unvested shares, in each case, as of the date of such termination, with such iHeartMedia restricted stock vesting on the terms and conditions as are set forth in the CCOH award agreement (substituting iHeartMedia for CCOH). In the event of Mr. Pittman’s termination of employment or service from iHeartMedia for any other reason, then all unvested shares of CCOH restricted stock will be immediately forfeited.

Gross-Up Provisions under Mr. Pittman’s January 13, 2014 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. Mr. Pittman’s amended and restated employment agreement contains a 280G “gross-up” provision that applies in certain circumstances in which any Company Payments received by Mr. Pittman are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” subject to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are applicable and Mr. Pittman declines to submit such excess parachute payments for approval by iHeartMedia’s stockholders, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Pittman an amount equal to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are not applicable, Mr. Pittman will be entitled to a gross-up payment equal to (1) the excise tax and (2) any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll tax imposed on the gross-up payment (excluding any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll taxes otherwise imposed on the Company Payments); provided that if the Company Payments are found to be equal to or less than 110% of the “safe harbor” amount referenced in Mr. Pittman’s employment agreement, the Company Payments will be reduced to equal the safe harbor amount, such that no excise tax will be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

In the event that Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated due to his death, disability or retirement, then subject to Mr. Pittman’s or his estate’s execution and non-revocation of a release within 60 days of Mr. Pittman’s termination, iHeartMedia will pay him (or his estate) a lump sum amount equal to any taxes paid by Mr. Pittman in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the iHeartMedia restricted stock awarded on January 13, 2014 that, at the time of such death, disability or retirement, remains unvested. For purposes of Mr. Pittman’s employment agreement, retirement is deemed to occur if, for the 12-month period following Mr. Pittman’s termination by reason of non-renewal of the employment agreement by either party (excluding termination by iHeartMedia for Cause or due to disability) or by Mr. Pittman without Good Cause, Mr. Pittman does not commence employment with or provide significant services as an advisor or consultant to iHeartMedia or any unaffiliated companies.

Richard J. Bressler

Termination by iHeartMedia for Cause, by Mr. Bressler without Good Cause or Upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement by Mr. Bressler. Richard J. Bressler’s employment agreement provides for the following payments and benefits upon termination by iHeartMedia for “Cause,” by Mr. Bressler without “Good Cause” or due to the non-renewal of the agreement by Mr. Bressler.

Under the agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (1) conduct by Mr. Bressler constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties; (2) continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by Mr. Bressler of his duties under the agreement (other than by reason of physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) where such non-performance has continued for more than 15 business days after written notice; (3) Mr. Bressler’s refusal or failure to follow lawful directives consistent with his job responsibilities where such refusal or failure has continued for more than 15 business days after written notice; (4) a criminal conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere by, Mr. Bressler for a felony or material violation of any securities law including, without limitation, a conviction of fraud, theft or embezzlement or a crime involving moral turpitude; (5) a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Bressler; or (6) a material violation by Mr. Bressler of iHeartMedia’s employment policies regarding harassment. In the case of (1), (3), (5) or (6), those acts will not constitute Cause unless Mr. Bressler has been given written notice specifying the conduct qualifying for Cause and Mr. Bressler fails to cure within 15 business days after receipt of the notice.

The term “Good Cause” includes, subject to certain exceptions: (1) a repeated willful failure by iHeartMedia to comply with a material term of the agreement after written notice by Mr. Bressler specifying the alleged failure; (2) a substantial and adverse change in Mr. Bressler’s position, material duties, responsibilities or authority; or (3) a material reduction in Mr. Bressler’s base salary, performance bonus opportunity or additional bonus opportunity. The removal of Mr. Bressler from the position of Chief Financial Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor will not constitute Good Cause. To terminate for Good Cause, Mr. Bressler must provide iHeartMedia with 30 days’ notice, after which iHeartMedia has 30 days to cure.

If iHeartMedia terminates Mr. Bressler’s employment for Cause, iHeartMedia will pay Mr. Bressler a lump sum cash payment equal to Mr. Bressler’s Accrued Amounts. If Mr. Bressler terminates his employment without Good Cause or elects not to renew his employment agreement, iHeartMedia will pay Mr. Bressler a lump sum cash payment equal to his Accrued Amounts and any Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus.

Termination by iHeartMedia without Cause, by Mr. Bressler for Good Cause, Upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement by iHeartMedia or Upon Change in Control. If iHeartMedia terminates Mr. Bressler’s employment without Cause, if Mr. Bressler terminates his employment for Good Cause or if Mr. Bressler’s employment is terminated following iHeartMedia’s notice of non-renewal after the initial term of the employment agreement, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Bressler a lump sum amount equal to: (1) Mr. Bressler’s Accrued Amounts; and (2) any Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus. In addition, provided he signs and returns a release of claims in the time period required, iHeartMedia will: (1) pay to Mr. Bressler, in periodic ratable installment payments twice per month over a period of 18 months following the date of termination, an aggregate amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of Mr. Bressler’s base salary and target annual bonus; (2) reimburse Mr. Bressler for all COBRA premium payments paid by Mr. Bressler for continuation of healthcare coverage during the 18-month period following the date of Mr. Bressler’s termination; (3) pay to Mr. Bressler a Prorated Annual Bonus; and (4) pay to Mr. Bressler a prorated bonus under his iHeartMedia SIP bonus opportunity, based on actual results for such year (the “Prorated Additional Bonus”).

Termination due to Death or Disability. If Mr. Bressler is unable to perform his duties under the agreement on a full-time basis for more than 180 days in any 12 month period, iHeartMedia may terminate his employment. If Mr. Bressler’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Bressler or to his designee or estate: (1) a lump sum equal to Mr. Bressler’s Accrued Amounts; (2) any Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus; (3) Mr. Bressler’s Prorated Annual Bonus; and (4) Mr. Bressler’s Prorated Additional Bonus. If a release of claims is signed and returned in the time period required, iHeartMedia will reimburse Mr. Bressler or his estate for all COBRA premium payments paid by Mr. Bressler or his estate for continuation of healthcare coverage during the 18-month period following Mr. Bressler’s date of termination.

Gross-Up Provisions. Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement contains a 280G “gross-up” provision that applies in certain circumstances in which any Company Payments received by Mr. Bressler are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” subject to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are applicable and Mr. Bressler declines to submit the excess parachute payments for approval by iHeartMedia’s stockholders, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Bressler an amount equal to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are not applicable, Mr. Bressler will be entitled to a gross-up payment equal to (1) the excise tax and (2) any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll tax imposed on the gross-up payment (excluding any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll taxes otherwise imposed on the Company Payments); provided that if the Company Payments are found to be equal to or less than 110% of the “safe harbor” amount referenced in Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement, the Company Payments will be reduced to equal the safe harbor amount, such that no excise tax will be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

Impact of Termination on Equity Awards. In connection with Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement, he was granted an award of 271,739 restricted shares of Clear Channel Outdoor Class A common stock on July 29, 2013. In the event of Mr. Bressler’s termination of employment or service for any reason, then, except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, all unvested shares of the restricted stock will be immediately forfeited. In the event that Mr. Bressler’s employment with iHeartMedia, Clear Channel Outdoor and its subsidiaries is terminated by iHeartMedia or Clear Channel Outdoor for a reason other than Cause or by Mr. Bressler for Good Cause, 50% of any shares of the restricted stock that would otherwise vest within 12 months after such termination will remain outstanding and vest on the date such shares would otherwise have vested, except that if such termination occurs during the 90-day period prior to or the 12-month period following a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement), 100% of any unvested restricted stock will vest upon the consummation of such Change in Control (or on the termination date in the case of a termination following a Change in Control). If Mr. Bressler ceases to be employed by Clear Channel Outdoor and its subsidiaries by reason of termination by Clear Channel Outdoor with or without Cause or at the written request of iHeartMedia but continues to be employed by iHeartMedia, all unvested shares of the restricted stock outstanding as of such termination will be converted into a number of shares of restricted stock of iHeartMedia having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the iHeartMedia 2015 Executive Long Term Incentive Plan) equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such unvested shares, in each case, as of the date of such termination, with such iHeartMedia restricted stock vesting on the terms and conditions as are set forth in the Clear Channel Outdoor award agreement (substituting iHeartMedia for Clear Channel Outdoor).

C. William Eccleshare

Termination by Clear Channel Outdoor for Cause or by Mr. Eccleshare without Good Reason. Mr. Eccleshare’s employment agreement provides for the following payments and benefits upon termination by Clear Channel Outdoor for “Cause” or by Mr. Eccleshare without “Good Reason.”

Under the agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (1) conduct by Mr. Eccleshare constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties; (2) continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by Mr. Eccleshare of his duties (other than by reason of physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) where such non-performance has continued for more than 15 business days following written notice of such non-performance; (3) Mr. Eccleshare’s refusal or failure to follow lawful and reasonable directives consistent with his job responsibilities where such refusal or failure has continued for more than 15 business days following written notice of such refusal or failure; (4) a criminal conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendere by, Mr. Eccleshare for a felony or material violation of any securities law including, without limitation, conviction of fraud, theft or embezzlement or a crime involving moral turpitude; (5) a material breach by Mr. Eccleshare of any of the provisions of his employment agreement; or (6) a material violation by Mr. Eccleshare of Clear Channel Outdoor’s employment policies regarding harassment; provided, however, that Cause shall not exist under clauses (1), (3), (5) or (6) unless Mr. Eccleshare has been given written notice specifying the act, omission or circumstances alleged to constitute Cause and he fails to cure or remedy such act, omission or circumstances within 15 business days after receipt of such notice.

The term “Good Reason” includes: (1) a change in Mr. Eccleshare’s reporting line; (2) a material change in his titles, duties or authorities (provided that Mr. Eccleshare shall not have Good Reason to terminate employment if, after a restructuring or reorganization of Clear Channel Outdoor or a sale or spinoff of all or a portion of Clear Channel Outdoor’s operations, Mr. Eccleshare continues as Chief Executive Officer of CCI (or any of its successors)); (3) a reduction in Mr. Eccleshare’s base salary or target bonus, other than an across-the-board reduction applicable to all senior executive officers of Clear Channel Outdoor; (4) a required relocation within the domestic United States of more than 50 miles of his primary place of employment; or (5) a material breach by Clear Channel Outdoor of the terms of the employment agreement. To terminate for Good Reason, Mr. Eccleshare must provide Clear Channel Outdoor with 30 days’ written notice, after which Clear Channel Outdoor has 30 days to cure, and Mr. Eccleshare must terminate employment within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Company’s cure period, if he still intends to terminate.

If Mr. Eccleshare’s employment is terminated by Clear Channel Outdoor for Cause or by Mr. Eccleshare without Good Reason, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay to Mr. Eccleshare his accrued and unpaid base salary through the date of termination and any unreimbursed business expenses and any payments or benefits (including accrued but untaken vacation, if any) required under applicable employee benefit plans or equity plans in accordance with such plans and/or policies (the “Accrued Amounts”). In addition, if Mr. Eccleshare terminates his employment without Good Reason and he signs and returns a release of claims in the time period required, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay to Mr. Eccleshare any annual bonus and additional bonus earned but unpaid with respect to the calendar year prior to the year of termination (the “Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus”) and, if Clear Channel Outdoor terminates Mr. Eccleshare’s employment after receipt of Mr. Eccleshare’s notice of termination, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay any base salary for any remaining portion of the 90-day advance notice period.

If Mr. Eccleshare is terminated for Cause, his Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will be cancelled and any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will be forfeited. If Mr. Eccleshare terminates his employment without Good Reason, any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will be cancelled, he will have three months to exercise any vested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options and any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will be forfeited. If his employment is terminated due to retirement (resignation from employment when the sum of his full years of age and full years of service equals at least 70, and he is at least 60 years of age with five full years of service at the time), all of his issued Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will continue to vest for the shorter of five years or the remainder of their original 10-year terms, and any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will continue to vest as if he were employed.

Termination by Clear Channel Outdoor without Cause, by Mr. Eccleshare for Good Reason, Upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement by Clear Channel Outdoor or Upon Change in Control. If Clear Channel Outdoor terminates Mr. Eccleshare’s employment without Cause (and not by reason of disability), if Clear Channel Outdoor does not renew the initial term or any subsequent renewal terms of the employment agreement or if Mr. Eccleshare terminates his employment for Good Reason, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay to Mr. Eccleshare any Accrued Amounts. In addition, if Mr. Eccleshare signs and returns a release of claims in the time period required, Clear Channel Outdoor will: (1) pay to Mr. Eccleshare a severance payment in an amount equal to 120% of his then-applicable base salary and 100% of his then-applicable target annual bonus in respect of the year of termination (the “Severance Payment”), with such Severance Payment to be paid in equal monthly installments for a period of 12 months after such termination; (2) reimburse his family’s reasonable relocation expenses from New York City to London that are incurred during employment or within 12 months after his termination, including reimbursement of the New York City apartment lease breakage fee, subject to submission of expenses in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policy (the “Relocation Fee”); (3) pay to Mr. Eccleshare the Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus; (4) pay to Mr. Eccleshare a pro rata portion of his annual bonus for the year of termination, calculated based upon performance as of the termination date as related to overall performance at the end of the calendar year for which pro rata portion of the annual bonus Mr. Eccleshare shall be eligible only if a bonus would have been earned by the end of the calendar year (the “Prorated Annual Bonus”); and (5) provide for him and his dependents continued participation in Clear Channel Outdoor’s group health plan that covers Mr. Eccleshare at Clear Channel Outdoor’s expense for a period of three months as long as he timely elects continued coverage and continues to pay copayment premiums at the same level and cost as Mr. Eccleshare paid immediately prior to the termination (the “COBRA Coverage Benefit”). If Mr. Eccleshare violates the non-competition, non-interference or non-solicitation covenants contained in the employment agreement (after being provided a 10-day cure opportunity to the extent such violation is curable), Mr. Eccleshare will forfeit any right to the pro rata portion of the Severance Payment for the number of months remaining in the 18-month non-compete period after termination. In addition, no Relocation Fee or COBRA Coverage Benefit will be paid in the event of a violation of the non-competition, non-interference or non-solicitation covenants contained in the employment agreement (after being provided a 10-day cure opportunity to the extent such violation is curable) and Mr. Eccleshare will reimburse Clear Channel Outdoor for any forfeited pro-rata portion of the Severance Payment, Relocation Fee and/or COBRA Coverage Benefit already paid.

Furthermore, in the event that Mr. Eccleshare’s employment is terminated by Clear Channel Outdoor without Cause or by Mr. Eccleshare for Good Reason, his unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units awarded on July 26, 2012 will vest, his unvested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will be cancelled and his vested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will continue to be exercisable for three months. Mr. Eccleshare’s employment agreement does not provide for payments or benefits upon a change in control. Accordingly, if he is terminated without Cause after a change in control, Mr. Eccleshare will be entitled to the benefits described for a termination without Cause. Mr. Eccleshare’s unvested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options and Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will vest upon a change in control, with or without termination. Further in this event, Mr. Eccleshare shall receive any unpaid portion of the payment to which he is entitled as a result of the Second Eccleshare Amendment, and any unvested restricted stock units shall automatically vest on his last day of employment.

Termination due to Disability. If Mr. Eccleshare is unable to perform the essential functions of his full-time position for more than 180 consecutive days in any 12 month period, Clear Channel Outdoor may terminate his employment. If Mr. Eccleshare’s employment is terminated, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay to Mr. Eccleshare or his designee any Accrued Amounts and the Relocation Fee for Mr. Eccleshare and his family. In addition, if Mr. Eccleshare signs and returns a release of claims in the time period required, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay to Mr. Eccleshare or his designee any Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus, Prorated Annual Bonus and the COBRA Coverage Benefit. If his employment is terminated due to disability, his unvested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will continue to vest for the shorter of five years or the remainder of their original 10-year terms, and any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will continue to vest as if he were employed.

Termination due to Death. If Mr. Eccleshare’s employment is terminated by his death, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay to his designee or estate: (1) the Accrued Amounts; (2) any Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus; (3) the Prorated Annual Bonus; (4) the Relocation Fee; and (5) the COBRA Coverage Benefit. If Mr. Eccleshare is terminated due to his death, his unvested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will vest and continue to be exercisable for the shorter of one year or the remainder of the original 10-year term and his unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will vest.

Mr. Pittman’s compensation for his services as an officer of Clear Channel Outdoor, iHeartCommunications and iHeartMedia is included in the Summary Compensation Table in iHeartMedia’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Mr. Pittman did not receive any additional compensation for his service on our Board during 2017.

(d)	Mr. Temple ceased serving on our Board on May 26, 2017.

Messrs. Jacobs, Keglevic and Tremblay all served as our independent directors during 2017. The Board’s compensation structure for our independent directors consists of the following components: (1) an annual cash retainer; (2) an additional cash payment for each Board meeting attended; (3) an additional cash payment for each committee meeting attended; and (4) an additional annual cash retainer for the Committee chairpersons. We also may grant stock options or other stock-based awards to the independent directors, and the independent directors may elect to receive their fees in the form of shares of our common stock. None of the independent directors made this election during 2017. Directors also are reimbursed for their expenses associated with their service as directors of Clear Channel Outdoor. We also pay retainer and meeting fees to directors serving on ad hoc special committees from time to time. During 2017, for service on an ad hoc special committee, Mr. Jacobs received retainer fees of $240,000 and meeting fees of $34,500; Mr. Tremblay received retainer fees of $240,000 and meeting fees of $31,500; Mr. Temple received retainer fees of $96,774 and meeting fees of $31,500; and Mr. Keglevic received retainer fees of $112,903 and meeting fees of $3,000.

During 2016, at the request of the Compensation Committee, we conducted an analysis of independent director compensation. After reviewing the analysis, our Board revised the compensation program for our independent directors effective July 1, 2016 and granted restricted stock to our independent directors as described in footnote (a) above. Effective as of July 1, 2016, the compensation program for our independent directors is as set forth below.


Annual cash retainer	$	70,000
Additional cash payment per Board meeting attended	$	2,000
Additional cash payment per Committee meeting attended	$	1,500
Additional annual cash retainer for Committee Chairperson:
• Audit Committee Chair	$	25,000
• Compensation Committee Chair	$	20,000
• Intercompany Note Committee Chair	$	20,000
Annual equity award value	$	140,000

In 2016, our Board adopted a stock ownership guideline for our independent directors that requires our independent directors to own a minimum of 35,000 shares of Class A common stock by July 1, 2019 or, in the case of any independent directors appointed after the adoption of the guideline, within three years of the date of the independent director’s appointment.

RELATIONSHIP OF COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PROGRAMS TO RISK MANAGEMENT

In consultation with the Compensation Committee, management conducted an assessment of whether Clear Channel Outdoor’s compensation policies and practices encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking by our employees, including employees other than our named executive officers. This assessment included discussions with members of the corporate Human Resources, Legal and Finance departments, as well as personnel in the business units, and a review of corporate and operational compensation arrangements. The assessment analyzed the risk characteristics of our business and the design and structure of our incentive plans and policies. Although a significant portion of our executive compensation program is performance-based, the Compensation Committee has focused on aligning Clear Channel Outdoor’s compensation policies with the long-term interests of Clear Channel Outdoor and avoiding rewards or incentive structures that could create unnecessary risks to Clear Channel Outdoor.

Management reported its findings to the Compensation Committee, which agreed with management’s assessment that our plans and policies do not encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking and determined such policies or practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Clear Channel Outdoor.

PAY RATIO

As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing pay ratio information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Robert W. Pittman, our Chief Executive Officer. For 2017, our last completed fiscal year:

•

the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our company (other than our CEO), was $42,611; and

•

the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table presented elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, was $534,469.

Based on this information, for 2017 the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 13 to 1.

Explanation of our Pay Ratio Disclosure

Mr. Pittman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, simultaneously holds the same positions at iHeartCommunications and iHeartMedia, our indirect parent entities. Our Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance also hold the same positions at iHeartCommunications and iHeartMedia. The compensation of all of these officers is set by the board of directors and the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of iHeartMedia and allocated to us pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement, dated November 16, 2005, by and between iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of iHeartMedia, and Clear Channel Outdoor. These officers’ compensation is paid by iHeartMedia, and Clear Channel Outdoor is allocated a portion of the cost of the services of these officers, other than Mr. Pittman. The compensation paid by iHeartMedia to Mr. Pittman is not allocated to Clear Channel Outdoor, and is not reflected in our Summary Compensation Table. The only compensation reflected in our Summary Compensation Table for Mr. Pittman is $534,469 of accrued dividends paid on restricted shares issued by Clear Channel Outdoor that vested during 2017. Consequently, the pay ratio information calculated in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, which uses Mr. Pittman’s annual total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, is not reflective of the ratio of our of CEO’s earnings to the annual total compensation of our median employee.

All of Mr. Pittman’s compensation for 2017 will be reflected in iHeartMedia’s Summary Compensation Table for 2017. Consequently, in addition to the foregoing disclosure, we believe that the following information is helpful in evaluating the earnings of our CEO. This information should be viewed as a supplement to, and not as a replacement of, the required pay ratio disclosure set forth above. As described in footnote (g) to the Summary Compensation Table, Mr. Pittman received $1,200,000 in Salary, $11,050,000 in Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation and $1,152,112 in All Other Compensation from iHeartMedia, in each case, calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Summary Compensation Table. Using all or a portion of Mr. Pittman’s annual total compensation for 2017 as set forth in iHeartMedia’s Summary Compensation Table in our pay ratio calculation would have resulted in a significantly higher pay ratio than the pay ratio calculated in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

Methodology, Assumptions and Estimates Used in Determining our Pay Ratio Disclosure

In determining the pay ratio calculation, we used the methodology, assumptions and estimates set forth below. We believe the pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

1. We selected October 1, 2017, which is within the last three months of 2017, as the date upon which we would identify the median employee, to allow sufficient time to identify the median employee given the global scope of our operations.

2. We determined that, as of October 1, 2017, our employee population consisted of approximately 5,823 individuals working at Clear Channel Outdoor and its consolidated subsidiaries. This number does not include 326 employees of iHeartMedia who provide corporate services to us under the Corporate Services Agreement. These iHeartMedia employees are compensated by iHeartMedia, and the costs of these corporate services are allocated to us as described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement.” These iHeartMedia employees do not receive any compensation from Clear Channel Outdoor.

3. Of our employee population as of October 1, 2017, 1,584 were U.S. employees and 4,239 were non-U.S. employees. We excluded employees who are located in the jurisdictions set forth below from the determination of median employee, under the de minimis exception in the SEC rules.


Country	Number of Employees
Hungary		1
Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Russia		24
Denmark		29
Finland		49
Poland		67
Total Excluded Employees		170

In total, the excluded employees represented 2.9% of our combined U.S. and non-U.S. workforce.

4. For purposes of measuring the compensation of our employee population, we selected total cash compensation. Total cash compensation includes base salary, hourly pay, overtime, bonuses and commissions, as reported on our payroll records. We measured total cash compensation of the employees included in the calculation over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. While some of our highly compensated employees are eligible to receive cash bonuses in the first quarter of the year under our annual cash bonus plan, the majority of our employees are not eligible to receive annual cash bonuses and instead earn quarterly cash bonuses or commissions, or are not eligible for any bonus. Consequently, we believe that total cash compensation for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 reasonably reflects the annual total compensation of our employee population for purposes of identifying our median employee.

5. We gathered our total cash compensation information for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from payroll records of each of our business units and applied this compensation measure consistently to all of our employees included in the calculation. We annualized the total cash compensation of permanent employees hired during the year. We did not make any other annualizing adjustments, and we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee. Amounts in foreign currency were converted from local currency to U.S. dollars using the average daily exchange rate of each country’s respective currency to U.S. dollars for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

6. Once we identified the median employee, we identified and calculated the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2017 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $42,611. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 2017 Summary Compensation Table included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During 2017, Messrs. Jacobs and Tremblay served as the members of our Compensation Committee. There were no “interlocks” among any of the directors who served as members of our Compensation Committee and any of our executive officers during 2017 and as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. During 2017, no member of our Compensation Committee simultaneously served as an executive officer of Clear Channel Outdoor. No member of our Compensation Committee had a relationship with us that requires disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Board has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A with management. Based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.


		Respectfully submitted,

		THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
		Dale W. Tremblay, Chairman Paul Keglevic

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

iHeartMedia, Inc.

We are an indirect subsidiary of iHeartMedia. As of April 5, 2018, iHeartMedia, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owned all of our outstanding shares of Class B common stock and 10,726,917 of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock, collectively representing approximately 89.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and approximately 99% of the total voting power of our common stock. Each share of our Class B common stock is convertible while owned by iHeartMedia or any of its affiliates (excluding us and our subsidiaries) at the option of the holder thereof into one share of Class A common stock. The agreements between us and iHeartMedia do not prohibit it from selling, spinning off, splitting off or otherwise disposing of any shares of our common stock.

Each of Blair E. Hendrix and Robert W. Pittman, two of our current directors, is a director of iHeartMedia and iHeartCommunications. In addition, Richard J. Bressler, C. William Eccleshare, Scott D. Hamilton, Steven J. Macri, Robert W. Pittman and Robert H. Walls, Jr. serve as executive officers of Clear Channel Outdoor, iHeartMedia and iHeartCommunications. Blair E. Hendrix and Olivia Sabine, two of our current directors, are employed as a managing director and an executive vice president, respectively, of Bain Capital. Daniel G. Jones and Vicente Piedrahita, two of our current directors, are employed as a managing director and a principal, respectively, of THL. Entities controlled by Bain Capital and THL hold all of the shares of iHeartMedia’s Class B common stock and iHeartMedia’s Class C common stock, and these shares represent a majority (whether measured by voting power or economic interest) of the equity of iHeartMedia.

We have entered into a number of agreements with certain subsidiaries of iHeartMedia setting forth various matters governing our relationship with iHeartMedia and iHeartCommunications, referred to collectively in this section as “iHeartMedia.” These agreements provide for, among other things, the allocation of employee benefit, tax and other liabilities and obligations attributable to our operations.

Set forth below are descriptions of certain agreements, relationships and transactions we have with iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries.

Master Agreement

We have entered into a master agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with iHeartCommunications. Among other things, the Master Agreement sets forth agreements governing our relationship with iHeartCommunications.

Auditors and Audits; Annual Financial Statements and Accounting. We have agreed that, for so long as iHeartCommunications is required to consolidate our results of operations and financial position or account for its investment in our Company under the equity method of accounting, we will maintain a fiscal year-end and accounting periods the same as iHeartCommunications, conform our financial presentation with that of iHeartMedia, we will not change our independent auditors without iHeartCommunications’ prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to enable our independent auditors to complete their audit of our financial statements in a timely manner so as to permit timely filing of iHeartMedia’s financial statements. We have also agreed to provide to iHeartCommunications all information required for iHeartCommunications to meet its schedule for the filing and distribution of its financial statements and to make available to iHeartCommunications and its independent auditors all documents necessary for the annual audit of our Company as well as access to the responsible personnel so that iHeartCommunications and its independent auditors may conduct their audits relating to our financial statements. We provide iHeartCommunications with financial reports, financial statements, budgets, projections, press releases and other financial data and information with respect to our business, properties and financial positions. We have also agreed to adhere to certain specified disclosure controls and procedures and iHeartCommunications accounting policies and to notify and consult with iHeartCommunications regarding any changes to our accounting principles and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, and any deficiencies in, or violations of law in connection with, our internal control over financial reporting and certain fraudulent conduct and other violations of law.

Exchange of Other Information. The Master Agreement also provides for other arrangements with respect to the mutual sharing of information between iHeartCommunications and us in order to comply with reporting, filing, audit or tax requirements, for use in judicial proceedings and in order to comply with our respective obligations after the separation. We have also agreed to provide mutual access to historical records relating to the other’s businesses that may be in our possession.

Indemnification. We have agreed to indemnify, hold harmless and defend iHeartCommunications, each of its affiliates (excluding us and our subsidiaries) and each of their respective directors, officers and employees, on an after-tax basis, from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from:

•

the failure by us or any of our affiliates or any other person or entity to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any liabilities or contractual obligations associated with our businesses, whether arising before or after the separation;

•

the operations, liabilities and contractual obligations of our business;

•

any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support arrangement by iHeartCommunications or any of its affiliates for our benefit;

•

any breach by us or any of our affiliates of the Master Agreement or our other agreements with iHeartCommunications or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and

•

any untrue statement of, or omission to state, a material fact in iHeartCommunications’ public filings to the extent the statement or omission was as a result of information that we furnished to iHeartCommunications or that iHeartCommunications incorporated by reference from our public filings, if the statement or omission was made or occurred after November 16, 2005.

iHeartCommunications has agreed to indemnify, hold harmless and defend us, each of our subsidiaries and each of our and our subsidiaries’ respective directors, officers and employees, on an after-tax basis, from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from:

•

the failure of iHeartCommunications or any of its affiliates or any other person or entity to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any liabilities of iHeartCommunications or its affiliates, other than liabilities associated with our businesses;

•

the liabilities of iHeartCommunications and its affiliates’ businesses, other than liabilities associated with our businesses;

•

any breach by iHeartCommunications or any of its affiliates of the Master Agreement or its other agreements with us; and

•

any untrue statement of, or omission to state, a material fact in our public filings to the extent the statement or omission was as a result of information that iHeartCommunications furnished to us or that we incorporated by reference from iHeartCommunications’ public filings, if the statement or omission was made or occurred after November 16, 2005.

The Master Agreement also specifies procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters and provides for contribution in the event that indemnification is not available to an indemnified party.

Dispute Resolution Procedures. We have agreed with iHeartCommunications that neither party will commence any court action to resolve any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the Master Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. Instead, any dispute that is not resolved in the normal course of business will be submitted to senior executives of each business entity involved in the dispute for resolution. If the dispute is not resolved by negotiation within 45 days after submission to the executives, either party may submit the dispute to mediation. If the dispute is not resolved by mediation within 30 days after the selection of a mediator, either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators. The arbitrators will determine the dispute in accordance with Texas law. Most of the other agreements between iHeartCommunications and us have similar dispute resolution provisions.

Other Provisions. The Master Agreement also contains covenants between iHeartCommunications and us with respect to other matters, including the following:

•

our agreement (subject to certain limited exceptions) not to repurchase shares of our outstanding Class A common stock or any other securities convertible into or exercisable for our Class A common stock, without first obtaining the prior written consent or affirmative vote of iHeartCommunications, for so long as iHeartCommunications owns more than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock;

•

confidentiality of our and iHeartCommunications’ information;

•

our right to continue coverage under iHeartCommunications’ insurance policies for so long as iHeartCommunications owns more than 50% of our outstanding common stock;

•

restrictions on our ability to take any action or enter into any agreement that would cause iHeartCommunications to violate any law, organizational document, agreement or judgment;

•

restrictions on our ability to take any action that limits iHeartCommunications’ ability to freely sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of our stock;

•

our obligation to comply with iHeartCommunications’ insurance policies applicable to its subsidiaries for so long as iHeartMedia owns more than 50% of the total voting power of our outstanding common stock, except (1) to the extent such policies conflict with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any of the agreements between iHeartCommunications and us, or (2) as otherwise agreed with iHeartCommunications or superseded by any policies adopted by our Board; and

•

restrictions on our ability to enter into any agreement that binds or purports to bind iHeartCommunications.

Approval Rights of iHeartCommunications on Certain of our Activities. Until the first date on which iHeartCommunications owns less than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock, the prior affirmative vote or written consent of iHeartCommunications is required for the following actions (subject in each case to certain agreed exceptions):

•

a merger involving us or any of our subsidiaries (other than mergers involving our wholly owned subsidiaries or to effect acquisitions permitted under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Master Agreement);

•

acquisitions by us or our subsidiaries of the stock or assets of another business for a price (including assumed debt) in excess of $5 million;

•

dispositions by us or our subsidiaries of assets in a single transaction or a series of related transactions for a price (including assumed debt) in excess of $5 million, other than transactions to which we and one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of ours are the only parties;

•

incurrence or guarantee of debt by us or our subsidiaries in excess of $400 million outstanding at any one time or that could reasonably be expected to result in a negative change in any of our credit ratings, excluding our debt with iHeartCommunications, intercompany debt (within our Company and its subsidiaries), and debt determined to constitute operating leverage by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization;

•

issuance by us or our subsidiaries of capital stock or other securities convertible into capital stock;

•

entry into any agreement restricting our ability or the ability of any of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, borrow money, repay indebtedness, make loans or transfer assets, in any such case to our Company or iHeartCommunications;

•

dissolution, liquidation or winding up of our company or any of our subsidiaries;

•

adoption of a rights agreement; and

•

alteration, amendment, termination or repeal of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our bylaws relating to our authorized capital stock, the rights granted to the holders of the Class B common stock, amendments to our bylaws, stockholder action by written consent, stockholder proposals and meetings, limitation of liability of and indemnification of our officers and directors, the size or classes of our Board, corporate opportunities and conflicts of interest between our Company and iHeartCommunications and Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Corporate Services Agreement

We entered into the Corporate Services Agreement to provide us certain administrative and support services and other assistance. Pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement, so long as iHeartCommunications continues to own greater than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock then an affiliate of iHeartCommunications (referred to as iHeartCommunications for purposes of this description) will provide us with such services and other assistance which we must accept. These include, among other things, the following:

•

treasury, payroll and other financial related services;

•

certain executive officer services;

•

human resources and employee benefits;

•

legal and related services;

•

information systems, network and related services;

•

investment services;

•

corporate services; and

•

procurement and sourcing support.

The charges for the corporate services generally are intended to allow iHeartCommunications to fully recover the allocated direct costs of providing the services, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, generally without profit. The allocation of cost is based on various measures depending on the service provided, which measures include relative revenue, employee headcount or number of users of a service.

Under the Corporate Services Agreement, we and iHeartCommunications each have the right to purchase goods or services, use intellectual property licensed from third parties and realize other benefits and rights under the other party’s agreements with third-party vendors to the extent allowed by such vendor agreements. The agreement also provides for the lease or sublease of certain facilities used in the operation of our respective businesses and for access to each other’s computing and telecommunications systems to the extent necessary to perform or receive the corporate services.

The Corporate Services Agreement provides that iHeartCommunications will make available to us, and we will be obligated to utilize, certain executive officers of iHeartCommunications to serve as our executive officers. The Corporate Services Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement or, after the date iHeartCommunications owns shares of our common stock representing less than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock, upon six months written notice by us to iHeartCommunications. iHeartCommunications charges an allocable portion of the compensation and benefits costs of such persons based on a ratio of our financial performance to the financial performance of iHeartCommunications. The compensation and benefits costs allocated to us include such executives’ base salary, bonus and other standard employee benefits, but exclude equity-based compensation. See footnote (g) to the Summary Compensation Table for additional information regarding the allocations. For the year ended December 31, 2017, charges for the corporate and executive services provided to us by iHeartCommunications under the Corporate Services Agreement totaled $68.7 million.

Tax Matters Agreement

We and certain of our corporate subsidiaries continue to be included in the affiliated group of corporations that files a consolidated return for U.S. Federal income tax purposes of which iHeartCommunications is the common parent corporation and, in certain cases, we or one or more of our subsidiaries may be included in a combined, consolidated or unitary group with iHeartCommunications or one or more of its subsidiaries for certain state and local income tax purposes. We and iHeartCommunications have entered into a tax matters agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) to allocate the responsibility of iHeartCommunications and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and we and our subsidiaries, on the other, for the payment of taxes resulting from filing tax returns on a combined, consolidated or unitary basis.

With respect to tax returns in which we or any of our subsidiaries are included in a combined, consolidated or unitary group with iHeartCommunications or any of its subsidiaries for Federal, state or local tax purposes, we make payments to iHeartCommunications pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement equal to the amount of taxes that would be paid if we and each of our subsidiaries included in such group filed a separate tax return. We also reimburse iHeartCommunications for the amount of any taxes paid by it on our behalf with respect to tax returns that include only us or any of our subsidiaries for Federal, state or local tax purposes, which tax returns are prepared and filed by iHeartCommunications. With respect to certain tax items, such as foreign tax credits, alternative minimum tax credits, net operating losses and net capital losses, that are generated by us or our subsidiaries, but are used by iHeartCommunications or its subsidiaries when a tax return is filed on a combined, consolidated or unitary basis for Federal, state or local tax purposes, we are reimbursed by iHeartCommunications as such tax items are used.

Under the Tax Matters Agreement, iHeartCommunications is appointed the sole and exclusive agent for us and our subsidiaries in any and all matters relating to Federal, state and local income taxes, and has sole and exclusive responsibility for the preparation and filing of all tax returns (or amended returns) related to such taxes and has the power, in its sole discretion, to contest or compromise any asserted tax adjustment or deficiency and to file, litigate or compromise any claim for refund on behalf of us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to such taxes. Additionally, iHeartCommunications determines the amount of our liability to (or entitlement to payment from) iHeartCommunications under the Tax Matters Agreement. This arrangement may result in conflicts of interest between iHeartCommunications and us. For example, under the Tax Matters Agreement, iHeartCommunications will be able to choose to contest, compromise or settle any adjustment or deficiency proposed by the relevant taxing authority in a manner that may be beneficial to iHeartCommunications and detrimental to us.

For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, each member of an affiliated group of corporations that files a consolidated return is jointly and severally liable for the U.S. Federal income tax liability of the entire group. Similar principles may apply with respect to members of a group that file a tax return on a combined, consolidated or unitary group basis for state and local tax purposes. Accordingly, although the Tax Matters Agreement will allocate tax liabilities between iHeartCommunications and us during the period in which we or any of our subsidiaries are included in the consolidated group of iHeartCommunications or any of its subsidiaries, we and our subsidiaries included in such consolidated group could be liable for the tax liability of the entire consolidated group in the event any such tax liability is incurred and not discharged by iHeartCommunications. The Tax Matters Agreement provides, however, that iHeartCommunications will indemnify us and our subsidiaries to the extent that, as a result of us or any of our subsidiaries being a member of a consolidated group, we or our subsidiaries becomes liable for the tax liability of the entire consolidated group (other than the portion of such liability for which we and our subsidiaries are liable under the Tax Matters Agreement).

Under Section 482 of the Code, the Internal Revenue Service has the authority in certain instances to redistribute, reapportion or reallocate gross income, deductions, credits or allowances between iHeartCommunications and us. Other taxing authorities may have similar authority under comparable provisions of foreign, state and local law. The Tax Matters Agreement provides that we or iHeartCommunications will indemnify the other to the extent that, as a result of the Internal Revenue Service exercising its authority (or any other taxing authority exercising a similar authority), the tax liability of one group is reduced while the tax liability of the other group is increased.

If iHeartCommunications spins off our Class B common stock to its stockholders in a distribution that is intended to be tax-free under Section 355 of the Code, we have agreed in the Tax Matters Agreement to indemnify iHeartCommunications and its affiliates against any and all tax-related liabilities if such a spin-off fails to qualify as a tax-free distribution (including as a result of Section 355(e) of the Code) due to actions, events or transactions relating to our stock, assets or business, or a breach of the relevant representations or covenants made by us in the Tax Matters Agreement. If neither we nor iHeartCommunications is responsible under the Tax Matters Agreement for any such spin-off not being tax-free under Section 355 of the Code, we and iHeartMedia have agreed that we will each be responsible for 50% of the tax-related liabilities arising from the failure of such a spin-off to so qualify.

At December 31, 2017, the amount payable to iHeartCommunications under the Tax Matters Agreement was $0.1 million.

Employee Matters Agreement

We have entered into an employee matters agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement”) with iHeartCommunications covering certain compensation and employee benefit issues. In general, with certain exceptions, our employees participate in the iHeartCommunications employee plans and arrangements along with the employees of other iHeartCommunications subsidiaries. Our payroll is also administered by iHeartCommunications.

We and iHeartCommunications reserve the right to withdraw from or terminate our participation, as the case may be, in any of the iHeartCommunications employee plans and arrangements at any time and for any reason, subject to at least 90 days notice. Unless sooner terminated, it is likely that our participation in iHeartCommunications employee plans and arrangements will end if and at such time as we are no longer a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications which, for this purpose, means iHeartCommunications owns less than 80% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock entitled to vote. We will, however, continue to bear the cost of and retain responsibility for all employment-related liabilities and obligations associated with our employees (and their covered dependents and beneficiaries), regardless of when incurred.

Trademarks

We have entered into a trademark license agreement (the “Trademark License Agreement”) with a subsidiary of iHeartMedia that entitles us to use (1) on a nonexclusive basis, the “Clear Channel” trademark and the Clear Channel “outdoor” trademark logo with respect to day-to-day operations of our business worldwide and on the Internet, and (2) certain other Clear Channel marks in connection with our business. Our use of the marks is subject to iHeartCommunications’ approval. iHeartCommunications may terminate our use of the marks in certain circumstances, including (1) a breach by us of a term or condition of our various agreements with iHeartCommunications and (2) at any time after iHeartCommunications ceases to own at least 50% of the total voting power of our common stock.

On February 9, 2017, we entered into a binding option and letter of intent with iHeartMedia granting us a binding option to purchase the registered trademarks and domain names owned by iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries that incorporate one or more of the words “Clear” and/or “Channel,” and any translations or derivations of any of the foregoing, together with any goodwill associated therewith. This option is exercisable in our sole and absolute discretion at any time between February 23, 2018 and February 23, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2017, iHeartCommunications charged us $36.7 million in trademark license fees.

Products and Services Provided between iHeartMedia and Us

We and iHeartMedia engage in transactions in the ordinary course of our respective businesses. These transactions include our providing billboard and other advertising space to iHeartMedia at rates we believe would be charged to a third party in an arms-length transaction.

Our branch managers have historically followed a corporate policy allowing iHeartMedia to use, without charge, domestic displays that they or their staff believe would otherwise be unsold. Our sales personnel receive partial revenue credit for that usage for compensation purposes. This partial revenue credit is not included in our reported revenues. iHeartMedia bears the cost of producing the advertising and we bear the costs of installing and removing this advertising. In 2017, we incurred approximately $394,130 to install and remove this advertising.

Cash Management Notes

We maintain accounts that represent net amounts due to or from iHeartCommunications, which is recorded as “Due from/to iHeartCommunications” on our consolidated balance sheets. The accounts represent our revolving promissory note issued by us to iHeartCommunications and the revolving promissory note issued by iHeartCommunications to us (the “Due from iHeartCommunications Note”), in each case in the face amount of $1.0 billion, or if more or less than such amount, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances. On November 29, 2017, we amended the Due From iHeartCommunications Note to extend the maturity date to May 15, 2019 and to increase the interest rate from 6.5% to 9.3%. The accounts accrue interest pursuant to the terms of the promissory notes and are generally payable on demand or when they mature on May 15, 2019. Included in the accounts are the net activities resulting from day-to-day cash management services provided by iHeartCommunications. Such day-to-day cash management services relate only to our cash activities and balances in the U.S. and exclude any cash activities and balances of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. At December 31, 2017, the asset recorded in “Due from iHeartCommunications” on our consolidated balance sheet was $212.0 million. At December 31, 2017, the principal amount outstanding under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note was $1,067.6 million. As a result of the iHeart Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below), we recognized a loss of $855.6 million on the Due from iHeartCommunications Note during the fourth quarter of 2017 to reflect the estimated recoverable amount of the note as of December 31, 2017, based on management’s best estimate of the cash settlement amount. As of December 31, 2017, we had no borrowings under the revolving promissory note to iHeartMedia.

At December 31, 2017, the fixed interest rate on the “Due from iHeartCommunications” account was 9.3%, which is equal to the fixed interest rate on the senior notes issued by our subsidiary. If the outstanding balance on the Due from iHeartCommunications Note exceeds $1.0 billion and under certain other circumstances tied to iHeartMedia’s liquidity, the rate is variable, but in no event is less than 9.3% nor greater than 20%. The net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $68.9 million.

Pursuant to an order entered by the Bankruptcy Court (as defined below) in the iHeart Chapter 11 Cases, as of March 14, 2018, the balance of the Due from iHeartCommunications Note is frozen, and following March 14, 2018, intercompany allocations that would have been reflected in adjustments to the balance of the Due from iHeartCommunications Note are instead reflected in an intercompany balance that accrues interest at a rate equal to the interest under the Due from iHeart Communications Note. Our board of directors has established a special committee consisting of our independent directors to consider, review and negotiate certain transactions between iHeartCommunications and CCOH in connection with the iHeart Chapter 11 Cases, and discussions regarding the outcome of the Due from iHeartCommunications Note are ongoing. On March 16, 2018, iHeartMedia and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) and certain creditors and equity holders entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “iHeart RSA”). The iHeart RSA contemplates that our business will be separated from iHeartCommunications at the conclusion of the iHeart Chapter 11 Cases and that the Due from iHeartCommunications Note will receive treatment in a form and substance acceptable to the Debtors, to the Company and to certain consenting senior creditors of iHeartCommunications, which treatment will be set forth in a plan of reorganization and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. It is still early in the iHeart Chapter 11 Cases, and we cannot predict at this time the outcome of iHeartCommunications’ efforts to restructure its indebtedness.

On October 5, 2017 we made a demand for the repayment $25.0 million outstanding under the Due From iHeartCommunications Note and paid a special cash dividend to our stockholders of record at the close of business on October 2, 2017 in an aggregate amount equal to $25.0 million, or $0.0687 per share.

On October 11, 2017 we made a demand for the repayment of $25.0 million outstanding under the Due From iHeartCommunications Note and paid a special cash dividend to our stockholders of record at the close of business on October 26, 2017 in an aggregate amount equal to $25.0 million, or $0.0687 per share.

On January 24, 2018, we made a demand for the repayment of $30.0 million outstanding under the Due From iHeartCommunications Note and paid a special cash dividend to our stockholders of record at the close of business on January 19, 2018, in an aggregate amount equal to $30.0 million, or $0.0824 per share.

iHeartMedia Chapter 11 Proceedings

On March 14, 2018, iHeartMedia and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “iHeart Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Clear Channel Outdoor and its direct and indirect subsidiaries did not file voluntary petitions for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and are not Debtors in the iHeart Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to first day motions filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Court authorized iHeartMedia to continue to provide services to Clear Channel Outdoor in the ordinary course of business, including, among other things, with respect to the Corporate Services Agreement.

Commercial Transactions

As described above, we are an indirect subsidiary of iHeartMedia, and entities controlled by Bain Capital and THL hold all of the shares of iHeartMedia’s Class B common stock and iHeartMedia’s Class C common stock, representing a majority (whether measured by voting power or economic interest) of the equity of iHeartMedia. Two of our directors also serve as directors of iHeartMedia (one of whom is affiliated with Bain Capital) and three of our other directors are affiliated with Bain Capital or THL.

We are a global advertising company providing clients with advertising opportunities through billboards, street furniture displays, transit displays and other out-of-home advertising displays in more than 35 countries across five continents. Bain Capital and THL are private equity firms that have investments in many companies. As a result of our worldwide reach, the nature of our business and the breadth of investments by Bain Capital and THL, it is not unusual for us to engage in ordinary course of business transactions with entities in which one of our directors, executive officers, greater than 5% stockholders or an immediate family member of any of them, may also be a director, executive officer, partner or investor or have some other direct or indirect interest.

During 2017, we provided ordinary course of business advertising services and/or received ordinary course of business services relating to our businesses exceeding $120,000 in value with respect to four companies in which Bain Capital and/or THL directly or indirectly owns a greater than 10% equity interest. These transactions were negotiated on an arms-length basis and, in the aggregate, we were paid approximately $0.9 million by these entities and we paid approximately $0.8 million to these entities with respect to these 2017 transactions, including to entities in which THL directly or indirectly owns a greater than 10% equity interest that provided us (and our parent entities and subsidiaries) with payroll tax processing services and commercial credit card processing services pursuant to arms-length agreements at competitive market rates. The fees paid for these services in the aggregate were approximately $135,000.

Policy on Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

We have adopted formal written policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of certain related party transactions involving us and one of our executive officers, directors or nominees for director, or owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, and which may be required to be reported under the SEC disclosure rules. Such transactions must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee of our Board (other than the directors involved, if any) or by a majority of disinterested directors, except that no such pre-approval shall be required for an agreement, or series of related agreements, providing solely for ordinary course of business transactions made on standard terms and conditions where the aggregate amount to be paid to us is less than $10 million or the aggregate amount paid by us is less than $250,000. In addition, if our management, in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, determines that it is not practicable to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting to approve or ratify a particular transaction, then the Board has delegated authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee to approve or ratify such transactions. The Chairman of the Audit Committee reports to the Audit Committee any transactions reviewed by him or her pursuant to this delegated authority at the next Audit Committee meeting. The primary consideration with respect to the approval of related party transactions is the overall fairness of the terms of the transaction to us. The related person transactions described above in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A were ratified or approved by the Audit Committee or Board pursuant to these policies and procedures, to the extent required, with the exception of the transactions described above with respect to iHeartMedia because they occurred prior to the time the policies and procedures were adopted. We generally expect transactions of a similar nature to occur during 2018.

Independence of Directors

The Board has adopted a set of Governance Guidelines addressing, among other things, standards for evaluating the independence of Clear Channel Outdoor’s directors. The full text of the Governance Guidelines can be found on the investor relations section of Clear Channel Outdoor’s website at www.clearchanneloutdoor.com.

The Board has adopted the following standards for determining the independence of its members:

A director must not be, or have been within the last three years, an employee of Clear Channel Outdoor. In addition, a director’s immediate family member (“immediate family member” is defined to include a person’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mother and father-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law and anyone (other than domestic employees) who shares such person’s home) must not be, or have been within the last three years, an executive officer of Clear Channel Outdoor.

A director or immediate family member must not have received, during any 12 month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from Clear Channel Outdoor, other than director or committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (and no such compensation may be contingent in any way on continued service).

A director must not be a current partner or employee of a firm that is Clear Channel Outdoor’s internal or external auditor. In addition, a director must not have an immediate family member who is (a) a current partner of such firm or (b) a current employee of such a firm and personally works on Clear Channel Outdoor’s audit. Finally, neither the director nor an immediate family member of the director may have been, within the last three years, a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on Clear Channel Outdoor’s audit within that time.

A director or an immediate family member must not be, or have been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of Clear Channel Outdoor’s present executive officers at the same time serve or served on that company’s compensation committee.

A director must not be a current employee, and no director’s immediate family member may be a current executive officer, of a material relationship party (“material relationship party” is defined as any company that has made payments to, or received payments from, Clear Channel Outdoor for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues).

A director must not own, together with ownership interests of his or her family, ten percent (10%) or more of a material relationship party.

A director or immediate family member must not be or have been during the last three years, an executive officer of a charitable organization (or hold a similar position), to which Clear Channel Outdoor makes contributions in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such organization’s consolidated gross revenues.

A director must be “independent” as that term is defined from time to time by the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, by the listing standards of the NYSE and, with respect to at least two members of the compensation committee, by the applicable provisions of, and rules promulgated under, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (collectively, the “Applicable Rules”). For purposes of determining independence, the Board will consider relationships with Clear Channel Outdoor and any parent or subsidiary in a consolidated group with Clear Channel Outdoor or any other company relevant to an independence determination under the Applicable Rules.

The above independence standards conform to, or are more exacting than, the director independence requirements of the NYSE applicable to Clear Channel Outdoor. The above independence standards are set forth on Appendix A of the Governance Guidelines.

Our Board currently consists of eight directors, one of whom currently serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. For a director to be independent, the Board must determine that such director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with Clear Channel Outdoor. Pursuant to the Governance Guidelines, the Board has undertaken its annual review of director independence.

Our Board has affirmatively determined that Harvey L. Tepner, Paul Keglevic, and Dale W. Tremblay are independent under the listing standards of the NYSE, as well as Clear Channel Outdoor’s independence standards set forth above. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is independent under the heightened independence standards for compensation committee members under the listing standards of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC and that each member of the Audit Committee is independent under the heightened independence standards required for audit committee members by the listing standards of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC. In making these determinations, our Board reviewed information provided by the directors and by Clear Channel Outdoor with regard to the directors’ business and personal activities as they relate to Clear Channel Outdoor and its affiliates. In the ordinary course of business during 2017, we entered into purchase and sale transactions for products and services with certain entities affiliated with members of our Board, as described below, and the following transactions were considered by our Board in making their independence determinations with respect to Messrs. Keglevic, Tepner and Tremblay:

•

A corporation for which Mr. Tepner serves as a director paid CCOA approximately $265,000 during 2017 for outdoor advertising services; and

•

A charity for which an immediate family member of Mr. Tepner serves as a director paid our affiliates approximately $53,000 during 2017 for outdoor advertising services.

All of the payments described above are for arms-length, ordinary course of business transactions and we generally expect transactions of a similar nature to occur during 2018. Our Board has concluded that such transactions or relationships do not impair the independence of the director.

The rules of the NYSE require that non-management or independent directors of a listed company meet periodically in executive sessions. In addition, the rules of the NYSE require listed companies to schedule an executive session including only independent directors at least once a year. Clear Channel Outdoor’s independent directors met separately in executive session at least one time during 2017.

The Board has created the office of Presiding Director to serve as the lead non-management director of the Board. The office of the Presiding Director at all times will be held by an “independent” director, as that term is defined from time to time by the listing standards of the NYSE and as determined by the Board in accordance with the Board’s Governance Guidelines. The Presiding Director has the power and authority to do the following:

•

preside at all meetings of non-management directors when they meet in executive session without management participation;

•

set agendas, priorities and procedures for meetings of non-management directors meeting in executive session without management participation;

•

generally assist the Chairman of the Board;

•

add agenda items to the established agenda for meetings of the Board;

•

request access to Clear Channel Outdoor’s management, employees and its independent advisers for purposes of discharging his or her duties and responsibilities as a director; and

•

retain independent outside financial, legal or other advisors at any time, at the expense of Clear Channel Outdoor, on behalf of the Board or any committee or subcommittee of the Board.

The Presiding Director position is rotated among the independent directors, in alphabetical order of last name, effective the first day of each calendar quarter. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Harvey L. Tepner is serving as the Presiding Director. We currently expect that Mr. Tepner as will continue serving as our Presiding Director following the annual meeting.

Clear Channel Outdoor’s Audit Committee has considered whether Ernst & Young LLP’s provision of non-audit services to Clear Channel Outdoor is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP’s independence.

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for Clear Channel Outdoor by its independent auditor. The Chairman of the Audit Committee may represent the entire committee for the purposes of pre-approving permissible non-audit services, provided that the decision to pre-approve any service is disclosed to the Audit Committee no later than its next scheduled meeting.
