On August 11, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement: (1) Mr. Eccleshare forfeited his rights under the Original Agreement to receive additional stock option awards on September 10, 2011 and September 10, 2012, with the number of shares subject to those future stock option awards based on a formula provided in the Original Agreement; (2) the Company agreed to grant Mr. Eccleshare, no later than March 31, 2012, a stock option to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, one quarter of which will vest on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, with an option price equal to the closing price for the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date; and (3) the performance-based vesting conditions applicable to Mr. Eccleshare’s previously awarded stock options referred to as Option B and Option C in the Original Agreement were replaced with time vesting conditions such that one third of the remaining unvested shares subject to Option B vests on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the original grant date of Option B and one quarter of the shares subject to Option C vests on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the original grant date of Option C.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amended and Restated Agreement, the form of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
