iHeartCommunications, Inc. Announces Proposed Private Offer to Exchange 10.0% Senior Notes Due 2018 for Newly-Issued 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes Due 2021

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- iHeartCommunications, Inc. (“iHeartCommunications”) today commenced a private offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to holders of iHeartCommunications’ outstanding 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Outstanding Notes”) to exchange Outstanding Notes for newly-issued 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes will be issued as “additional notes” under the indenture governing iHeartCommunications’ existing 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 that were issued on February 28, 2013 (the “Existing Notes”), will be treated as a single class with the Existing Notes for all purposes under such indenture and will have the same terms as the Existing Notes. However, the New Notes will not trade fungibly with the Existing Notes.

The Exchange Offer, which is only available to holders of Outstanding Notes that have certified their status as (i) “qualified institutional buyers” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or institutional “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or (ii) non “U.S. persons” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act (each, an “Eligible Holder”), is being made pursuant to an offering circular dated December 20, 2016, and is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

The Exchange Offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on January 19, 2017, unless extended by iHeartCommunications (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). Eligible Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw Outstanding Notes on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 4, 2017, unless extended by iHeartCommunications (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”), will receive additional consideration as described below. Tenders of Outstanding Notes may be withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 4, 2016, unless extended by iHeartCommunications.

Consummation of the Exchange Offer and issuance of the New Notes is subject to certain conditions that must be satisfied or waived by iHeartCommunications in its sole and absolute discretion on or prior to the Expiration Date.

The New Notes will mature on March 1, 2021. The New Notes will accrue interest beginning on their issuance date at a rate of 11.25% per annum in cash. iHeartCommunications will pay interest on the New Notes on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The first interest payment date on the New Notes will be March 1, 2017. The Outstanding Notes are, and the New Notes will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by iHeartCommunications’ parent, iHeartMedia Capital I, LLC, and all of iHeartCommunications’ existing domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries.

The New Notes and related guarantees will be offered only in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act. The New Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.
