| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | PRESS RELEASE |
IHEARTCOMMUNICATIONS, INC. ANNOUNCES CONSENT SOLICITATIONS TO HOLDERS OF ITS FIVE SERIES OF PRIORITY GUARANTEE NOTES AND SENIOR NOTES DUE 2021
San Antonio, TX, November 28, 2016 — iHeartCommunications, Inc. (the “Company”) announced today the commencement of six separate consent solicitations (the “Consent Solicitations”) to seek the consent of holders of its five series of priority guarantee notes and senior notes due 2021 listed in the table below (collectively, the “Notes”) to a proposed amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to each of the indentures governing the Notes (the “Indentures”).
The Proposed Amendment, if adopted, would amend Section 9.07 of each of the Indentures to allow the Company to exclude, in any offer to consent, waive or amend any of the terms or provisions of the Indentures or the Notes in connection with an exchange offer, any holders of Notes who are not institutional “accredited investors” or non-“U.S. persons”, or those in any jurisdiction whose inclusion would require that the Company comply with the registration requirements or other similar requirements under any securities laws of such jurisdiction.
Each Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 7, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”). Consents with respect to the applicable series of Notes may not be revoked after the Expiration Time. The consummation of each Consent Solicitation is not conditioned on the consummation of the other Consent Solicitations. Each Consent Solicitation is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, without limitation, the receipt of consents of holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the respective series of Notes outstanding (excluding any Notes of such series held by the Company or its affiliates) to the Proposed Amendment by the Expiration Time. If any of the conditions to each Consent Solicitation is not satisfied, the Company is not obligated to accept any consent in the respective Consent Solicitation and may, in its sole discretion, terminate, extend or amend each Consent Solicitation without terminating, extending or amending the other Consent Solicitations.
Subject to the terms and conditions of each Consent Solicitation, upon receipt of consents of holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the respective series of Notes outstanding (excluding any Notes of such series held by the Company or its affiliates) to the Proposed Amendment, holders of Notes who validly deliver (and do not validly revoke) their consents prior to the Expiration Time will receive their portion of the aggregate cash payment for its respective series of Notes listed on the table below under “Aggregate Fixed Consideration Amount” (the “Fixed Fee”). In addition, if the applicable Consent Solicitation is consummated, upon effectiveness of a subsequent amendment to an Indenture, as applicable, where the consideration for such amendment includes debt or equity securities issued on an unregistered basis in an exchange offer transaction, holders of Notes who validly deliver (and do not validly revoke) their consents prior to the Expiration Time will receive their portion of the respective aggregate cash payment for its respective series of Notes listed on the table below under “Aggregate Contingent Consideration Amount” (the “Contingent Fee”).
The Fixed Fee and Contingent Fee (if and when payable) will be paid to each consenting holder with respect to the applicable series of Notes pro rata in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes for which consents were validly tendered (and not revoked) prior to the Expiration Time. The applicable Contingent Fee if it becomes payable, will not be paid at the same time as the applicable Fixed Fee. There is no assurance that the Contingent Fee with respect to any series of Notes will be paid. In no event will the Company ever be required to pay the Contingent Fee more than once with respect to each series of Notes.
The table below provides information with respect to each series of Notes and the applicable Fixed Fee and Contingent Fee.
