Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) As previously reported in the Definitive Proxy Statement of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 26, 2010, Mr. James M. Raines’ term as a director expired on May 25, 2010 and he did not stand for re-election at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Accordingly, on May 25, 2010, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), acting pursuant to the authority granted to it by the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, appointed Douglas L. Jacobs to the Board to fill the vacancy created by the expiration of Mr. Raines’ term as a director. In addition, the Board determined Mr. Jacobs to be an independent director under the NYSE rules as well as an Audit Committee Financial Expert (as defined in the applicable regulations of the SEC), and appointed him as Chair of the Audit Committee and as a member of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Jacobs term as a director commenced on the date of his appointment and will expire in 2013.

Mr. Jacobs has been a self-employed investor since 2003. Mr. Jacobs was the Executive Vice President and Treasurer for FleetBoston Financial Group from 1995 to 2003. His career began at Citibank in 1972, where he ultimately assumed the position of Division Executive for the Investment Banking Group’s MBS Group. Mr. Jacobs’ other directorships include Fortress Investment Group LLC (a publicly traded company) from 2007 to the present and Doral Financial Corporation (a publicly traded company) from 2008 to the present. His previous directorships include ACA Capital Holdings, Inc. (formerly a publicly traded company) from 2004 to 2008 and Global Signal, Inc. (formerly a publicly traded company) from 2004 to 2007.

Mr. Jacobs will receive the same compensation as all other independent directors of the Board.
