Clear Channel Communications Announces Closing of its Previously Announced Offer to Extend Existing Term Loans and Initial Settlement of its Private Bond-For-Bond Exchange Offer

San Antonio, December 18, 2013... Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (the 鈥淐ompany鈥) announced the closing on December 18, 2013 of its previously announced offer to amend the Company鈥檚 senior secured credit facility pursuant to which Term Loan B lenders and/or Term Loan C lenders agreed to extend the maturity of a portion of their loans due 2016 through the creation of a new $1.3 billion Term Loan E due July 30, 2019. The aggregate principal amount of term loans submitted for extension in the offer exceeded $1.3 billion and, accordingly, the amount of each lender鈥檚 term loans that was accepted for extension was reduced by a proration factor of approximately 94.8632%. Upon the closing of the offer, the Company鈥檚 senior secured credit facility consisted of an approximately $1.89 billion Term Loan B which matures on January 30, 2016, an approximately $36.5 million Term Loan C which matures on January 30, 2016, a $5.0 billion Term Loan D which matures on January 30, 2019 and a $1.3 billion Term Loan E which matures on July 30, 2019.

The new Term Loan E has the same security and guarantee package as the outstanding Term Loans B, C and D and borrowings under the new Term Loan E bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company鈥檚 option, adjusted LIBOR plus 7.50% or a base rate plus 6.50%.

The Company also announced the early settlement on December 16, 2013 (the 鈥淚nitial Settlement Date鈥) of its previously announced private offer to holders of the Company鈥檚 10.75% Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 (the 鈥淥utstanding Cash Pay Notes鈥) and 11.00%/11.75% Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 (the 鈥淥utstanding Toggle Notes鈥 and collectively with the Outstanding Cash Pay Notes, the 鈥淥utstanding Notes鈥) to exchange (the 鈥淓xchange Offer鈥) any and all Outstanding Notes for newly issued Senior Notes due 2021 of the Company (the 鈥淣ew Notes鈥). On the Initial Settlement Date, the Company (x) issued $388,621,200 of New Notes and paid approximately $10.9 million of cash in exchange for $353,292,000 aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Cash Pay Notes and (y) issued $233,274,429 of New Notes and paid approximately $6.7 million of cash in exchange for $212,067,672 aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Toggle Notes. Participating holders were also eligible to receive, with respect to their Outstanding Notes accepted for exchange, accrued and unpaid interest, in cash, from the last applicable interest payment date up to, but not including, the Initial Settlement Date. However, because interest on the New Notes accrues from August 1, 2013, the last interest payment date of the Company鈥檚 existing senior notes due 2021 (the 鈥淓xisting 2021 Notes鈥), the cash portion (but not the PIK portion) of the interest accrued on the New Notes from such last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Initial Settlement Date was deducted from the interest payable by the Company on the Outstanding Notes.听 The New Notes issued on the Initial Settlement Date are fungible with the Existing 2021 Notes for all purposes, including for U.S. federal income tax purposes.听

Immediately following the Initial Settlement Date, approximately $94.8 million aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Cash Pay Notes and approximately $127.9 million aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Toggle Notes remained outstanding.听
