San Antonio, Texas, April 4, 2016. As previously announced, on March 7, 2016, iHeartCommunications, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of iHeartMedia, Inc. (the “Company”), initiated an action against, among others, Benefit Street Partners LLC, and certain related entities (collectively, “Benefit Street Partners”), Canyon Capital Advisors LLC (“Canyon Capital”), D. E. Shaw Galvanic Portfolios, LLC (“D. E. Shaw”), Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin Advisers”), and Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“Franklin Mutual”), which is styled iHeartCommunications, Inc., f/k/a Clear Channel Communications, Inc. v. Benefit Street Partners LLC, et al., and is pending in the 285th Judicial District, Bexar County, Texas (the “Texas Court”), as Cause No. 2016 CI 04006 (the “Texas Litigation”). Only Benefit Street and Franklin Advisers have appeared in the Texas Litigation. Canyon Capital, D. E. Shaw and Franklin Mutual filed special appearances challenging the Texas Court’s jurisdiction over them. The Texas Litigation relates to the transfer and/or contribution on December 3, 2015 of 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., from Clear Channel Holdings, Inc., one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that is a “restricted subsidiary” under the Company’s various debt documents, to Broader Media, LLC, one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that is an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the Company’s various debt documents (the “Specified Event”). Certain holders of the Company’s senior secured indebtedness, including Benefit Street, D.E. Shaw, Franklin Advisers and Franklin Mutual, have alleged that this transfer violated certain covenants in certain of the Company’s priority guarantee note indentures.

On April 4, 2016, the Company announced that it has been in discussions with Benefit Street, D.E. Shaw, Canyon Capital, Franklin Advisers and Franklin Mutual to explore, among other things, a possible resolution of all issues raised in the Texas Litigation, including the Notices of Default issued by Benefit Street, D.E. Shaw, Franklin Advisers and Franklin Mutual with respect to the Specified Event. These discussions, which took place under a confidentiality agreement among those parties, have terminated and are no longer continuing based on the Company’s written disclosure that it is no longer pursuing the actions contemplated by such discussions, and the Texas Litigation is continuing.
