Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 15, 2017, iHeartCommunications, Inc. (the “Company”) commenced exchange offers to exchange certain series of its outstanding series of debt securities (the “Existing Notes”) for new securities of the Company, iHeartMedia, Inc. and CC Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Exchange Offers”) and concurrent consent solicitations with respect to the Existing Notes. In addition, on March 15, 2017, the Company also commenced offers (the “Term Loan Offers”) to amend its outstanding Term Loan D and Term Loan E borrowings under its senior secured credit facility.

As previously disclosed, the Company has engaged in discussions with certain lenders under its Term Loan D and Term Loan E facilities and certain noteholders (collectively, the “Lenders”) and counsel to certain of those Lenders in connection with the Term Loan Offers and the Exchange Offers. In connection with these discussions, the Company and certain Lenders entered into non-disclosure agreements (“NDAs”). The Company is making the disclosures herein in accordance with the terms of the NDAs. The discussions subject to the NDAs resulted in the exchange of term sheets between the Lenders and the Company over the course of such discussions. On January 10, 2018, the Company provided certain lenders with a proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. On January 19, 2018, certain Lenders (the “Cooperation Group Lenders”) provided the Company with a proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. On January 28, 2018, the Company provided the Lenders with a proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3. On February 8, 2018, the Company provided the Lenders with a proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4. On February 8, 2018, the Cooperation Group Lenders provided the Company with a proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5. In connection with the proposals, the Company provided the Lenders with a summary of its conditions for a proposal, which is set forth on Exhibit 99.6. As of February 9, 2018, the Company had not provided such Lenders with, nor had it provided such Lenders access to, confidential information.

No agreement has been reached with respect to the above discussions and discussions remain ongoing. Any such agreement may involve the consent of additional junior debt holders who are not party to the negotiations and/or who have informed us that they are seeking additional consideration. Therefore, the Company will continue to work with all of its constituents to develop a consensual transaction to allocate consideration among its various stakeholders. There can be no assurances that a consensual transaction or any agreement will be reached. The information set forth in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell or exchange, or solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, or a solicitation of consents with respect to any securities.
