| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure |
On March 15, 2017, iHeartCommunications, Inc. (“iHeartCommunications”), an indirect parent of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), commenced exchange offers to exchange certain series of its outstanding series of debt securities (the “Existing Notes”) for new securities of iHeartCommunications, iHeartMedia, Inc. and CC Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and concurrent consent solicitations with respect to the Existing Notes. In addition, on March 15, 2017, iHeartCommunications also commenced offers (the “Term Loan Offers”) to amend its outstanding Term Loan D and Term Loan E borrowings under its senior secured credit facility.
As previously disclosed, iHeartCommunications has engaged in discussions with certain lenders under its Term Loan D and Term Loan E facilities and certain priority guarantee noteholders (collectively, the “Lenders”) and counsel to certain of those Lenders in connection with the Term Loan Offers. In furtherance of those discussions, iHeartCommunications is disclosing the information set forth on Exhibit 99.1 hereto to such Lenders, some of which information relates to the Company.
No agreement has been reached with respect to the above discussions and discussions remain ongoing. There can be no assurance that any agreement will be reached. Any such agreement will require the consent of additional debt holders who are not party to the negotiations, and who hold substantial percentages of iHeartCommunications’ debt. The information set forth in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell or exchange, or solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, or a solicitation of consents with respect to any securities.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such filings. The filing of this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.
