MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Premier Outdoor Media ("Premier" or the "Company"), a leading independent operator of out-of-home advertising ("OOH") assets throughout the Northeast Corridor, announced today that it has divested its OOH assets to Lamar Advertising Company (NASDAQ: LAMR) ("Lamar").

"We couldn't be more pleased with what Dominick and the Premier team have accomplished," said Tim Wegener, Managing Partner at Caruth Capital Partners. "They executed a focused growth strategy, built high-quality assets, and delivered outstanding results. It's been a privilege to partner with them on this journey."

"We are proud of the platform we've built and the value we've created over the past several years," said Dominick Vastino, CEO of Premier Outdoor Media. "Lamar is a first-rate operator and we're confident they will continue to deliver exceptional service to our clients."

"This acquisition enhances our position in the greater Philadelphia and New York markets, including southern New Jersey, and is consistent with our strategy of adding high-quality, REIT-qualified assets to our portfolio," said Sean Reilly, CEO of Lamar.
