Item 8.01 Other Events.

Consistent with its previous disclosure, on February 4, 2016, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”), an indirect, non-wholly owned subsidiary of iHeartCommunications, Inc. (“IHC”), (i) demanded (the “Demand”) repayment of $300.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Promissory Note, dated as of November 10, 2005, between IHC, as maker, and CCOH, as payee (as amended by the first amendment dated as of December 23, 2009 and the second amendment dated as of October 23, 2013, the “Note”), and (ii) paid special cash dividends to Class A and Class B stockholders of record at the close of business on February 1, 2016, in an aggregate amount equal to $540.0 million, or $1.4937 per share, using proceeds of the Demand together with cash on hand relating to the sale of eight non-strategic outdoor markets. As the indirect parent of CCOH, IHC received approximately 90.1%, or approximately $486.5 million, of the dividend proceeds through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Following satisfaction of the Demand, the balance outstanding under the Note was reduced by $300.0 million. As of September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of the Note was $913.7 million.
