(the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that on October 19, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, dated July 8, 2013, among the Company, a special litigation committee consisting of certain independent directors of the Company, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“CCU”), the Company’s indirect parent company, and the other parties thereto, (i) the Company notified CCU of its intent to make a demand (the “Demand”) for repayment on November 8, 2013 of $200,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Promissory Note, dated as of November 10, 2005, between CCU, as maker, and the Company, as payee (as amended by the first amendment dated as of December 23, 2009, the “Due from CCU Note”), and (ii) the board of directors of the Company declared a special cash dividend payable in cash on November 8, 2013 to Class A and Class B stockholders of record at the closing of business on November 5, 2013, in an aggregate amount equal to $200,000,000 (or approximately $0.56 per share, based on shares outstanding at the close of business on September 30, 2013), conditioned only upon CCU satisfying the Demand.
