SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Transaction Support Agreement and Exchange Offer On November 6, 2024, the Company entered into the TSA with the Supporting Holders of iHeartCommunications' outstanding notes and term loans. The Supporting Holders represent approximately 77% of the aggregate principal amount of iHeartCommunications’ outstanding senior secured notes due 2026, 79% of the aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior secured notes due 2027, 38% of the aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior secured notes due 2028, 71% of the aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior unsecured notes due 2027, and 92% of the aggregate principal amount of its outstanding term loans (collectively, the “Existing Debt”). The Company and the Supporting Holders have agreed to the terms of, and to support, (i) exchange offer transactions that will be offered to all holders of the Existing Debt, consisting of two alternative exchange transaction structures, each of which will extend the maturity of the Existing Debt tendered in the exchange offer transactions by three years, and (ii) concurrent consent solicitations to amend certain provisions in the indentures and credit agreement governing the Existing Debt. In the first transaction structure, if certain thresholds of holder participation are met, iHeartCommunications will issue new secured debt in exchange for the Existing Debt held by participating holders. Alternatively, if certain thresholds of holder participation are not met, newly-formed subsidiaries of the Company holding certain transferred assets and an intercompany note (to be issued by iHeartMedia + Entertainment, Inc.) will issue new secured debt in exchange for the Existing Debt held by participating holders. The TSA may be terminated under various circumstances, including if the exchange offer transactions are not consummated on or before December 31, 2024, unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the TSA. Concurrently with entry into the TSA, the Company also entered into an amendment to its ABL Facility (the “ABL Amendment”) to, among other things, permit both exchange transaction alternatives and other transactions related to the exchange, amend certain of the covenants, default provisions contained therein, and increase the interest rate on the ABL Facility by (a) if the first transaction is consummated, 0.50%, and (b) if the alternative transaction is consummated, 1.00%. The amendments contained in the ABL Amendment will become effective upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the consummation of one of the transactions contemplated by the TSA. The Company anticipates commencing the exchange offer in the near term.
