Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 14, 2015 by the Reporting Persons named therein, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on December 10, 2015 and Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on March 15, 2017 (the “Schedule 13D”). Unless set forth below, all previous Items set forth in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D, as amended to the date hereof.

This Amendment is being filed to supplement and amend the prior disclosure by the Reporting Persons regarding their plans or proposals with respect to certain securities of the Issuer held by certain of the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as set forth below:

On December 11, 2017, iHeartCommunications announced that it is currently exploring a possible private capital-raising transaction supported by the value of some or all of the 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Issuer held by its wholly-owned subsidiary Broader Media, LLC and the 10,726,917 shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer held by its wholly-owned subsidiary CC Finco, LLC. Such a transaction, if agreed upon and consummated on the terms being explored, would result in the pledge of these shares for the benefit of the investors. If such a transaction is consummated, iHeartCommunications intends to amend the terms of the notes exchange offers and term loan offers launched on March 15, 2017, as described in Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, to contemplate the pledge of the Issuer’s shares in support of that transaction.
