SAN
ANTONIO, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Clear
Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO) (the "Company")
announced today that it priced an offering (the "Offering") of
$865,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the "Notes"). The
issuance and sale of the Notes is expected to be completed on
March 18, 2024, subject to customary
closing conditions.
The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by
certain of the Company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (the
"Guarantors"). The Notes and the related guarantees will be
secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions,
on a first-priority basis by security interests in all of the
Company's and the Guarantors' assets securing the Company's
existing senior secured credit facilities and existing senior
secured notes (other than accounts receivable and related assets
securing the Company's existing receivables-based credit facility
(the "Receivables Facility")) and, on a second-priority basis, by
accounts receivable and related assets securing the Receivables
Facility.
The Offering of the Notes is part of a refinancing transaction
whereby the Company intends to enter into an amendment to its
existing senior secured credit facilities, which is expected to
extend the maturity of the Company's term loan B facility from 2026
to 2028, among other amendments. The Company expects to close this
transaction concurrently with the closing of the Offering of the
Notes. The closing of the Offering of the Notes is not conditioned
on the closing of any amendment to the Company's existing senior
secured credit facilities.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Notes to (i)
prepay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Company's
existing senior secured term loan facility (including accrued but
unpaid interest related thereto) and (ii) pay related transaction
fees and expenses.
The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to
persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers"
in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") and, to persons outside of the
United States, in compliance with Regulation S under the
Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been
registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
state or other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in
the United States without
registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act,
and applicable state securities and foreign securities laws. This
press release is for informational purposes only and shall not
constitute an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy
the Notes or any other securities. The Offering is not being made
to any person in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation
or sale is unlawful.
