Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 12, 2016, iHeartCommunications, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the results and expiration, on December 9, 2016, of the six separate consent solicitations (the “Consent Solicitations”) with respect to its senior notes due 2021 (the “Senior Notes”) and its five series of priority guarantee notes that were launched on November 28, 2016 and amended on December 2, 2016.

Holders of Senior Notes representing approximately 81.5% of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes (excluding any Senior Notes held by the Company or its affiliates), consented to the proposed amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to Section 9.07 of the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes Indenture”). In conjunction with receiving the requisite consents in respect of the Senior Notes Indenture, on December 9, 2016, the Company and Delaware Trust Company, as trustee, executed a sixth supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Senior Notes Indenture to effect the Proposed Amendment.

The Proposed Amendment allows the Company to exclude, in any offer to consent, waive or amend any of the terms or provisions of the Senior Notes Indenture or the Senior Notes in connection with an exchange offer, any holders of Notes who are not institutional “accredited investors,” who are not non-“U.S. persons”, or those in foreign jurisdictions whose inclusion would require the Company to comply with the registration requirements or other similar requirements under any securities laws of such foreign jurisdiction or would be unlawful.

A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the completed text of the Supplemental Indenture.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 12, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the requisite consents with respect to its Senior Notes as well as the fees payable to consenting holders. The Company also announced the expiration, on December 9, 2016, of its consent solicitations with respect to its five priority guarantee notes. As of the expiration time, the Company had not received consents from holders representing a majority of the aggregate principal amount of each of its five series of priority guarantee notes outstanding. As a result, the Proposed Amendment will not be effected with respect to the Company’s priority guarantee notes and no fixed fee or contingent fee will be paid to holders of such notes.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
