Table of Contents

Shareholder of Record: If your shares are registered directly in your name with Clear Channel Outdoor’s transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by Computershare on behalf of Clear Channel Outdoor. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to Clear Channel Outdoor or to vote in person at the annual meeting. Clear Channel Outdoor has enclosed a proxy card for you to use. Please sign and return your proxy card.

Beneficial Owner: If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote and also are invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the annual meeting, unless you obtain and present at the meeting a signed proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee regarding how to vote your shares. Please sign and return your voting instruction card.

As described above, if you do not provide your broker with voting instructions and the broker is not permitted to vote your shares on a proposal, a “broker non-vote” occurs. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the annual meeting and will have no effect on the vote on any of the proposals at the annual meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board, which currently consists of nine members, is responsible for overseeing the direction of Clear Channel Outdoor and for establishing broad corporate policies. However, in accordance with corporate legal principles, it is not involved in day-to-day operating details. Members of the Board are kept informed of Clear Channel Outdoor’s business through discussions with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers, by reviewing analyses and reports sent to them, by receiving updates from Board committees and by otherwise participating in Board and committee meetings.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of our shareholders, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. As long as iHeartMedia continues to indirectly own shares of our common stock representing more than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock, it will have the ability to direct the election of all the members of our Board, the composition of our Board committees and the size of the Board.

Because iHeartMedia controls more than 50% of the voting power of Clear Channel Outdoor, we have elected to be treated as a “controlled company” under the NYSE’s Corporate Governance Standards. Accordingly, we are exempt from the provisions of the Corporate Governance Standards requiring that: (1) a majority of our Board consists of independent directors; (2) we have a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the nominating and governance committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and (3) we have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the compensation committee’s purpose and responsibilities. However, notwithstanding this exemption, as described more fully below, we have a

Compensation Committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the Compensation Committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

BOARD MEETINGS

During 2015, the Board held nine meetings. All of Clear Channel Outdoor’s directors, other than Mr. Scott R. Wells (who ceased serving as a member of our Board on March 3, 2015) attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board held during the periods in which they served during 2015. All of Clear Channel Outdoor’s directors also attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board committees on which they served during 2015, other than Douglas L. Jacobs and Dale W. Tremblay with respect to the Intercompany Note Committee.

SHAREHOLDER MEETING ATTENDANCE

Clear Channel Outdoor encourages, but does not require, directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. None of the directors attended the annual meeting of shareholders in 2015.

INDEPENDENCE OF DIRECTORS

The Board has adopted a set of Governance Guidelines addressing, among other things, standards for evaluating the independence of Clear Channel Outdoor’s directors. The full text of the Governance Guidelines can be found on the investor relations section of Clear Channel Outdoor’s website at www.clearchanneloutdoor.com.

The Board has adopted the following standards for determining the independence of its members:

5

Table of Contents

The above independence standards conform to, or are more exacting than, the director independence requirements of the NYSE applicable to Clear Channel Outdoor. The above independence standards are set forth on Appendix A of the Governance Guidelines.

Our Board currently consists of nine directors, one of whom currently serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. For a director to be independent, the Board must determine that such director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with Clear Channel Outdoor. Pursuant to the Governance Guidelines, the Board has undertaken its annual review of director independence.

Our Board has affirmatively determined that Douglas L. Jacobs, Thomas R. Shepherd, Christopher M. Temple and Dale W. Tremblay are independent under the listing standards of the NYSE, as well as Clear Channel Outdoor’s independence standards set forth above. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is independent and that each member of the Audit Committee is independent under the heightened independence standards required for audit committee members by the rules and regulations of the SEC. In making these determinations, our Board reviewed information provided by the directors and by Clear Channel Outdoor with regard to the directors’ business and personal activities as they relate to Clear Channel Outdoor and its affiliates. In the ordinary course of business during 2015, we entered into purchase and sale transactions for products and services with certain entities affiliated with members of our Board, as described below, and the following transactions were considered by our Board in making their independence determinations with respect to Messrs. Jacobs, Shepherd, Temple and Tremblay:

All of the payments described above are for arms-length, ordinary course of business transactions and we generally expect transactions of a similar nature to occur during 2016. Our Board has concluded that such transactions or relationships do not impair the independence of the director.

The rules of the NYSE require that non-management or independent directors of a listed company meet periodically in executive sessions. In addition, the rules of the NYSE require listed companies to schedule an executive session including only independent directors at least once a year. Clear Channel Outdoor’s independent directors met separately in executive session one time during 2015.

Table of Contents

The Board has created the office of Presiding Director to serve as the lead non-management director of the Board. The office of the Presiding Director at all times will be held by an “independent” director, as that term is defined from time to time by the listing standards of the NYSE and as determined by the Board in accordance with the Board’s Governance Guidelines. The Presiding Director has the power and authority to do the following:

The Presiding Director position is rotated among the independent directors, in alphabetical order of last name, effective the first day of each calendar quarter. As of the date of this proxy statement, Douglas L. Jacobs is serving as the Presiding Director.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The Board historically has had two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. Each committee has a written charter, which guides its operations. The written charters of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee are available on Clear Channel Outdoor’s website at www.clearchanneloutdoor.com.

On October 19, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the settlement of certain derivative litigation relating to a promissory note (the “Due from iHeartCommunications Note”) between iHeartCommunications, Inc., our indirect parent entity (“iHeartCommunications”), as maker, and Clear Channel Outdoor, as payee, our Board established an Intercompany Note Committee of the Board for the specific purpose of monitoring the Due from iHeartCommunications Note. The Intercompany Note Committee has the non-exclusive authority pursuant to the committee’s charter approved as part of the settlement to demand repayment under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note under certain circumstances related to iHeartCommunications’ liquidity or the amount outstanding under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note as long as the committee declares a simultaneous dividend equal to the amount so demanded. The Intercompany Note Committee receives monthly and annual reports from management pursuant to the committee’s charter and the Intercompany Note Committee has the authority to retain, at Clear Channel Outdoor’s expense, independent counsel and an independent financial advisor as the Intercompany Note Committee deems appropriate in order to perform its responsibilities.

The table below sets forth the members of each of these committees.

Table of Contents

The Audit Committee

The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of Clear Channel Outdoor. Douglas L. Jacobs has been designated by our Board as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert,” as defined by the SEC. Mr. Jacobs also serves on the audit committees of three other public companies. Our Board has determined that such simultaneous service on these other audit committees and on our Audit Committee would not impair the ability of Mr. Jacobs to serve effectively on our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee met four times during 2015. All members of the Audit Committee are independent as defined by the listing standards of the NYSE and Clear Channel Outdoor’s independence standards and satisfy the other requirements for audit committee membership, including the heightened independence standards, of the NYSE and the SEC.

The Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities, which are discussed in detail within its charter, include the following, subject to the consent of our corporate parent:

The full text of the Audit Committee’s charter can be found on our website at www.clearchanneloutdoor.com.

The Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee administers Clear Channel Outdoor’s incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans, determines compensation arrangements for all executive officers, other than our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (our former Executive Chairman), Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance, General Counsel and Chief Accounting Officer, and makes recommendations to the Board concerning compensation for directors of Clear Channel Outdoor and its subsidiaries. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement provides additional details regarding the basis on which the Compensation Committee determines executive compensation. The Compensation Committee met five times during 2015. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent as defined by the listing standards of the NYSE and Clear Channel Outdoor’s independence standards.

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee has the ability, under its charter, to select and retain, at the expense of Clear Channel Outdoor, independent legal and financial counsel and other consultants necessary to assist the Compensation Committee as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to select and retain any compensation consultant to be used to survey the compensation practices in Clear Channel Outdoor’s industry and to provide advice so that Clear Channel Outdoor can maintain its competitive ability to recruit and retain highly qualified personnel. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to approve related fees and retention terms for any of its counsel and consultants.

The Compensation Committee’s primary purposes, which are discussed in detail within its charter, are to:

Our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (our former Executive Chairman), Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance simultaneously hold the same positions at iHeartCommunications and iHeartMedia, our indirect parent entities. The compensation of those officers is set by the board of directors and the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of iHeartMedia, and we are allocated a portion of the cost of the services of certain of those officers pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement, dated November 16, 2005, by and between iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. (“iHMMS”), an indirect subsidiary of iHeartMedia and us (the “Corporate Services Agreement”). Accordingly, our Compensation Committee charter does not govern the compensation arrangements, policies and practices of our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (our former Executive Chairman), Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance. The term “executive officer” used above in the description of the Compensation Committee’s purposes refers to our employees (other than our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (our former Executive Chairman), Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President—Corporate Finance) who are (1) subject to the requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), governing insider trading reporting or (2) covered by the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), governing qualified performance-based compensation. See the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement. The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate its responsibilities to subcommittees if the Compensation Committee determines such delegation would be in the best interest of Clear Channel Outdoor.

The full text of the Compensation Committee’s charter can be found on our website at www.clearchanneloutdoor.com.

DIRECTOR NOMINATING PROCEDURES

The Board oversees the identification and consideration of candidates for membership on the Board, and each member of the Board participates in this process. It is the view of the Board that this function has been performed effectively by the Board, and that it is appropriate for Clear Channel Outdoor not to have a separate nominating committee or charter for this purpose.

The Board is responsible for developing and reviewing background information for candidates for the Board, including those recommended by shareholders. Our directors play a critical role in guiding Clear Channel Outdoor’s strategic direction and overseeing the management of Clear Channel Outdoor. Clear Channel Outdoor does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, but the Board strives to nominate directors with a variety of complementary skills so that, as a group, the Board will possess the appropriate mix of experience, skills and expertise to oversee Clear Channel Outdoor’s businesses. Director candidates should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility, be leaders in the organizations with which they are affiliated and have the time, energy, interest and willingness to serve as a member of the Board. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group that can best perpetuate the success of our business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience. The Board evaluates each incumbent director to determine whether he or she should be nominated to stand for re-election, based on the types of criteria outlined above as well as the director’s contributions to the Board during their current term.

Director Scott R. Wells resigned as a member of our Board on March 3, 2015. Pursuant to our bylaws, on March 3, 2015, our Board appointed Olivia Sabine as a member of our Board to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Wells’ resignation. Ms. Sabine was recommended for election as a director by our Board members affiliated with Bain Capital Partners, L.P. (“Bain Capital”).

The Board will consider as potential nominees individuals properly recommended by shareholders. Recommendations concerning individuals proposed for consideration should be addressed to the Board, c/o Secretary, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., 200 East Basse Road, Suite 100, San Antonio, Texas 78209. Each recommendation should include a personal biography of the suggested nominee, an indication of the background or experience that qualifies the person for consideration and a statement that the person has agreed to serve if nominated and elected. The Board evaluates candidates recommended by shareholders in the same manner in which it evaluates other nominees. Shareholders who themselves wish to effectively nominate a person for election to the Board, as contrasted with recommending a potential nominee to the Board for its consideration, are required to comply with the advance notice and other requirements set forth in our bylaws, as described below under “Shareholder Proposals for 2017 Annual Meeting and Advance Notice Procedures.”

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

On October 2, 2011, Robert W. Pittman was appointed as our Executive Chairman and a member of our Board and, on January 24, 2012, C. William Eccleshare was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer. On March 2, 2015, Mr. Pittman was appointed as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Eccleshare transitioned to become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of our International division (“CCI”). The Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board as the Board believes it is in the best interests of Clear Channel Outdoor to make that determination based on the position and direction of Clear Channel Outdoor, the membership of the Board and the individuals who occupy those roles. Mr. Pittman provides and Mr. Eccleshare provided our Board with insight into our operations and help facilitate the flow of information between management and the Board. In addition, the position of Presiding Director of our Board rotates quarterly among our independent directors, providing an additional layer of independent director oversight, as described above under “—Independence of Directors.” For the reasons described above, our Board believes that this leadership structure is appropriate for us at this time.

Our risk management philosophy strives to:

The Board has designated the Audit Committee to oversee risk management. The Audit Committee reports to the Board regarding briefings provided by management and advisors, as well as the Audit Committee’s own analysis and conclusions regarding the adequacy of Clear Channel Outdoor’s risk management processes. In addition, Mr. Pittman (as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) is and Mr. Eccleshare (as our former Chief Executive Officer) was able to provide our Board with valuable insight into our risk profile and the options to mitigate and address our risks based on their respective experiences with the daily management of our business.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Board has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement with management. Based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis contains statements regarding Company and individual performance measures and other goals. These goals are disclosed in the limited context of our executive compensation program and should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. Further, the Company performance measures used for purposes of executive compensation, as described more fully below, differ from segment results reported in our financial statements. Segment results are used to measure the overall financial performance of the Company’s segments, while the performance measures used for compensation purposes are used in connection with assessing the performance of executives. We specifically caution investors not to apply the following discussion to other contexts.

OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

We believe that compensation of our named executive officers should be directly and materially linked to operating performance. The fundamental objective of our compensation program is to attract, retain and motivate top quality executives through compensation and incentives which are competitive within the various labor markets and industries in which we compete for talent and which align the interests of our executives with the interests of our shareholders.

Overall, we have designed our compensation program to:

19

Table of Contents

We seek to achieve these objectives through a variety of compensation elements, as summarized below:

In May 2014, we held a shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. More than 99% of the votes cast on the matter approved the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in our 2014 proxy statement. Accordingly, we made no significant changes to the objectives or structure of our executive compensation program. We currently hold our say-on-pay vote once every three years. Accordingly, we expect that the next say-on-pay advisory vote will occur at our annual meeting of shareholders in 2017. We also expect our next vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes to occur at our annual meeting of shareholders in 2017.

COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS EMPLOYED BY IHEARTMEDIA

The following of our named executive officers were employed by and received compensation from iHeartMedia in 2015:

Accordingly, the 2015 compensation for Messrs. Pittman, Bressler, Macri and Hamilton was set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of iHeartMedia. Clear Channel Outdoor’s Compensation Committee had no involvement in recommending or approving their compensation.

20

Table of Contents

As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” a portion of the 2015 compensation for Messrs. Bressler, Macri and Hamilton was allocated to us in recognition of their services provided to us pursuant to a Corporate Services Agreement between us and a subsidiary of iHeartMedia. Those allocated amounts are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below, along with any compensation that we or our subsidiaries provided to them directly. See footnote (g) to the Summary Compensation Table below for a description of the allocations. Additionally, upon termination or a change in control, a portion of certain payments that would be due to Mr. Bressler would be allocated to us, as reflected in the Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control table set forth below. These allocations were or would be made, as applicable, based on Clear Channel Outdoor’s OIBDAN (as defined below) as a percentage of iHeartMedia’s OIBDAN for the prior year, each as reported in connection with year-end financial results. For purposes of these allocations, OIBDAN is defined as: consolidated net income (loss) adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses and amortization of deferred system implementation costs as well as the following line items presented in the Statement of Operations: income tax benefit (expense); other income (expense), net; equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates; interest expense; interest income on the Due from iHeartCommunications Note; other operating income, net; depreciation and amortization; and impairment charges.

All references in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis to compensation policies and practices for our executive officers should be read to exclude the compensation policies and practices applicable to Messrs. Pittman, Bressler, Macri and Hamilton and any other executive officers whose compensation was determined by iHeartMedia, other than with respect to Clear Channel Outdoor equity awards provided to those individuals. Accordingly, except as otherwise indicated below, references in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis to our named executive officers are intended to include:

COMPENSATION PRACTICES

The Compensation Committee typically determines total compensation, as well as the individual components of such compensation, of our named executive officers (other than Messrs. Pittman, Bressler, Macri and Hamilton) on an annual basis. All compensation decisions are made within the scope of each named executive officer’s employment agreement, if any.

In making decisions with respect to each element of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the total compensation that may be awarded to the executive, including salary, annual incentive bonus and long-term incentive compensation. Multiple factors are considered in determining the amount of total compensation awarded to the named executive officers, including:

The goal is to award compensation that is reasonable when all elements of potential compensation are considered.

Table of Contents

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

As described above, we believe that a combination of various elements of compensation best serves the interests of Clear Channel Outdoor and its shareholders. Having a variety of compensation elements enables us to meet the requirements of the highly competitive environment in which we operate while ensuring that our named executive officers are compensated in a way that advances the interests of all shareholders. Under this approach, executive compensation generally involves a significant portion of pay that is “at risk,” namely, the annual incentive bonus. The annual incentive bonus is based entirely on financial performance, individual performance or a combination of both. In conjunction with the annual incentive bonus awards, the Compensation Committee also may provide annual discretionary bonuses or additional bonus opportunities to our named executive officers, which also would be based on financial performance, individual performance or a combination of both. Equity awards constitute a significant portion of long-term remuneration that is tied directly to stock price appreciation, which benefits all shareholders.

Our practices with respect to each of the elements of executive compensation are set forth below, followed by a discussion of the specific factors relevant to the named executive officers.

Base Salary

Administration.  Base salaries for executive officers typically are reviewed on an annual basis and at the time of promotion or other change in responsibilities. In general, any increases in salary will be based on the subjective evaluation of factors such as the level of responsibility, individual performance, level of pay both of the executive in question and other similarly situated executives and competitive pay practices. All decisions regarding increasing or decreasing an executive officer’s base salary are made within the scope of the executive’s respective employment agreement, if any. In the case of our named executive officers who have employment agreements with us, each of their employment agreements contains a minimum level of base salary, as described below under “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers.”

In reviewing base salaries, the Compensation Committee considers the importance of linking a significant proportion of the named executive officer’s compensation to performance in the form of the annual incentive bonus (plus any annual discretionary bonuses or additional bonus opportunities), which is tied to financial performance measures, individual performance, or a combination of both, as well as long-term incentive compensation.

Analysis.  Mr. Eccleshare’s base salary increased to $1,000,000 in connection with his promotion to serve as our Chief Executive Officer on January 24, 2012. Mr. Eccleshare’s base salary remained at that level for 2015.

In March 2015, we hired Mr. Wells as Chief Executive Officer of our Americas division. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Wells was provided an initial base salary of $750,000.

For a more detailed description of the employment agreements of the named executive officers, please refer to “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers.”

Annual Incentive Bonus

Administration.  Each of our named executive officers participates in our 2015 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”), other than Messrs. Pittman, Bressler, Macri and Hamilton, who participate in iHeartMedia’s 2015 Executive Incentive Plan. The Annual Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and is intended to provide an incentive to the named executive officers and other selected key executives to contribute to the growth, profitability and increased shareholder value and to retain such executives. Under the Annual Incentive Plan, participants are eligible for performance-based awards, which represent the conditional right to receive cash or other property based upon the achievement of pre-established

22

Table of Contents

performance goals within a specified performance period. No single participant may receive more than $15,000,000 in awards in any calendar year. The Annual Incentive Plan is designed to allow awards to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code.

The performance goals for our named executive officers are set pursuant to an extensive annual operating plan developed by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Board, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior executive officers of Clear Channel Outdoor, within any parameters specified within each executive’s employment agreement. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations as to the compensation levels and performance goals of our named executive officers (other than his own) to the Compensation Committee for its review, consideration and approval. The Compensation Committee has complete discretion to accept, reject or modify the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.

The 2015 annual incentive bonuses were based on the following performance goals (as further described below): (1) Mr. Eccleshare’s performance goals were based upon achievement of a targeted OIBDAN level for CCI and certain qualitative performance objectives, which contributed to CCI’s performance and (2) Mr. Wells’ performance goals were based on the achievement of a targeted OIBDAN level for CCOA, excluding Latin America, and Latin America and certain qualitative performance objectives, which contributed to CCOA’s performance. Pursuant to his employment agreement, for 2015, Mr. Eccleshare was provided with an additional bonus opportunity based on achievement of certain qualitative performance objectives directly relevant to his position and responsibilities.

The annual incentive bonuses and the payments made in 2015 under Mr. Eccleshare’s additional bonus opportunities are reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Compensation Plan column of the Summary Compensation Table. The annual incentive bonus amounts are determined according to the level of achievement of the objective OIBDAN-based performance goals and the individual qualitative performance goals. No award is earned under the objective performance goal below a minimum threshold of performance (90% of the applicable target OIBDAN for each individual) and a maximum amount is earned under the objective performance goal for performance at or above a maximum level (115% of the applicable target OIBDAN for each individual). The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the awards earned pursuant to either the objective or individual qualitative performance goals, as applicable.

The Compensation Committee follows the process set forth below to determine the annual incentive bonuses and additional bonus opportunities for Messrs. Eccleshare and Wells:

For 2015, Clear Channel Outdoor’s OIBDAN performance was negatively impacted by the macroeconomic environment. As a result, Clear Channel Outdoor and its operating divisions did not meet their OIBDAN targets and the annual incentive bonus awards were paid below the target bonus levels. Pursuant to his employment agreement, the Compensation Committee awarded an additional bonus opportunity for Mr. Eccleshare with respect to 2015 performance. To enhance the retention value of the additional bonus award, as described below, a significant portion of the earned additional bonus for Mr. Eccleshare will be paid at a later date subject to Mr. Eccleshare’s continued employment.

Table of Contents

Analysis.  In determining whether the 2015 financial performance goals were met, the Compensation Committee considered the financial results of Clear Channel Outdoor and its operating divisions from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. For 2015, the performance-based goals applicable to our named executive officers are set forth below.

C. William Eccleshare

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare’s target bonus for 2015 was set at $1,000,000, with 70% based on the achievement of OIBDAN at CCI of $312.7 million and 30% based on the achievement of the other qualitative performance objectives described below. His maximum bonus for 2015 was set at $2,000,000. For purposes of calculating Mr. Eccleshare’s bonus, OIBDAN was calculated as CCI’s reportable OIBDAN before restructuring charges, which is defined as consolidated net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the following items: non-cash compensation expense; income tax benefit (expense); other income (expense)-net; equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates; gain (loss) on marketable securities; gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt; interest expense; other operating income (expense)-net; depreciation and amortization; impairment charges; restructuring charges; the impact of foreign currency and other items. Mr. Eccleshare’s individual qualitative performance objectives for 2015 consisted of: (1) undertaking a full review of CCI and proposing changes to reduce costs and increase efficiency; (2) hiring a new Chief Executive Officer for CCOA; (3) growing CCOH’s reputation with advertisers and agencies; (4) developing and adopting the use of audience measurement systems, including mobile data; (5) providing strategic leadership of the global outdoor business; and (6) ensuring a focus on customers in leadership meetings, presentations and internal committees. CCI’s 2015 OIBDAN was approximately $289.7 million, which was below the OIBDAN target but above the OIBDAN minimum. Based on the achieved OIBDAN level, together with Mr. Eccleshare’s level of achievement of his qualitative performance objectives described above, Mr. Eccleshare received an annual incentive bonus of $712,686.

Pursuant to an additional bonus opportunity approved for Mr. Eccleshare by our Compensation Committee with respect to 2015 performance, Mr. Eccleshare also earned an additional $240,000 supplemental bonus based on achieving the following additional performance objectives established by our Compensation Committee for Mr. Eccleshare with respect to our business: (1) hiring a new Chairman for Clear Media Limited; (2) building interactive outdoor networks in all major countries; and (3) developing a programmatic platform plan for CCI. Of the $240,000 supplemental bonus earned with respect to 2015 performance, $80,000 was paid at the end of February 2016, and the remaining $160,000 will be paid in equal installments of $80,000 each at the same time as the annual incentive bonus payments in 2017 and 2018 if Mr. Eccleshare remains employed on the applicable payment dates. In addition, at the end of February 2016, Mr. Eccleshare was paid the third of three $84,000 installments earned pursuant to his additional bonus with respect to 2013 performance. He was also paid the second of three $85,000 installments pursuant to his additional bonus with respect to 2014 performance. The final $85,000 installment of the 2014 additional bonus will be paid at the same time as the annual incentive bonus payments are paid generally in 2017 if Mr. Eccleshare remains employed on the payment date.

Scott R. Wells

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Wells’ target bonus for 2015 was set at $624,658, with 65% based on the achievement of OIBDAN at CCOA, excluding Latin America, of $493.5 million, 5% based on the achievement of Latin America OIBDAN of $34.7 million and 30% based on the achievement of the other qualitative performance objectives described below. His maximum bonus for 2015 was set at $1,249,316. For purposes of calculating Mr. Wells’ bonus, OIBDAN was calculated as CCOA’s reportable OIBDAN before restructuring charges, which is defined as consolidated net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the following items: non-cash compensation expense; income tax benefit (expense); other income (expense)-net; equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates; gain (loss) on marketable securities; gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt; interest expense; other operating income (expense)-net; depreciation and amortization; impairment charges; restructuring charges; the impact of foreign currency and other items. Mr. Wells’ individual qualitative

Table of Contents

performance objectives for 2015 consisted of: (1) driving CCOA’s footprint to expand its audience; (2) reversing national advertiser demand trends; (3) hiring in key leadership positions and upgrading where necessary; (4) managing operating and capital expenditures; and (5) re-engaging the U.S markets in the CCOA business. The 2015 CCOA OIBDAN, excluding Latin America, was approximately $466.7 million which was below the OIBDAN target but above the OIBDAN minimum. The Latin America OIBDAN was approximately $24.7 million which was below the OIBDAN minimum. Based on the achieved OIBDAN levels, together with Mr. Wells’ level of achievement of his qualitative performance objectives described above, Mr. Wells received an annual incentive bonus of $483,067.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Administration.  Our named executive officers participate in our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan or our previous 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan are referred to as the “Stock Incentive Plan”), which allow for the issuance of incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards. The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee. See “Executive Compensation—Grants of Plan-Based Awards” for a more detailed description of the Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2015, there were 325 employees holding outstanding stock incentive awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. In general, the level of long-term incentive compensation is determined based on an evaluation of competitive factors in conjunction with total compensation provided to the executive officers and the overall goals of the compensation program described above. Long-term incentive compensation typically has been paid in stock options and/or restricted stock or restricted stock units with time-vesting conditions and/or vesting conditions tied to predetermined performance goals. The Board believes equity ownership is important for purposes of executive retention and alignment of interests with shareholders.

Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.  Long-term incentive compensation may be granted to our named executive officers in the form of stock options, with exercise prices of not less than fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant and with a 10-year term. We typically define fair market value as the closing price on the date of grant. Long-term incentive compensation also may be granted to our named executive officers in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards. Vesting schedules are set by the Compensation Committee in its discretion and vary on a case by case basis. All vesting is contingent on continued employment, with rare exceptions made by the Compensation Committee. See “Executive Compensation—Potential Post-Employment Payments” for a description of the treatment of the named executive officers’ equity awards upon termination or change in control. All decisions to award the named executive officers stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units are in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Analysis.  On February 24, 2015, the Compensation Committee granted Messrs. Pittman and Bressler awards of 85,197 and 31,948 shares of restricted stock, respectively, which vest based on time.

Effective as of January 8, 2016 and February 5, 2016, in lieu of dividends that were paid to shareholders, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Eccleshare awards of 38,138 and 55,315 restricted stock units, respectively, which vest based on time according to the original vesting schedules of the outstanding restricted stock unit awards. These awards are not included in the Summary Compensation Table herein as they were recognized as 2016 compensation and will be included in the 2016 Summary Compensation Table.

On March 3, 2015, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Wells an award of 338,600 options of which 50% vest based on time and 50% vest upon satisfaction of performance conditions. Also, on June 15, 2015, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Wells an award of 37,764 options and 45,830 restricted shares, both of which vest based on time.

As mentioned above, the Compensation Committee typically considers internal pay equity when determining the amount of long-term incentive compensation to grant to our named executive officers. However,

25

Table of Contents

the Committee does so broadly and does not have a specific policy, or seek to follow established guidelines or formulas, to maintain a particular ratio of long-term incentive compensation among the named executive officers or other executives. For further information about the 2015 long-term incentive awards, please refer to the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and the “Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers” sections appearing later under the “Executive Compensation” heading in this proxy statement.

Equity Award Grant Timing Practices

Regular Annual Equity Award Grant Dates.  The grant date for regular annual stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, for employees, including the named executive officers and for our independent directors, typically is in the first half of the year. During 2015, our Board granted equity awards to our independent directors in June 2015. See “Director Compensation” set forth below in this proxy statement for additional information regarding the new compensation program for our independent directors.

Employee New Hires/Promotions Grant Dates.  Grants of stock options and other equity awards, if any, to newly-hired or newly promoted employees generally are made at the time of hire or promotion or at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee immediately following the hire or promotion. However, timing may vary as provided in a particular employee’s agreement or to accommodate the Compensation Committee.

Initial Equity Award Grant Dates for Newly-Elected Independent Directors.  Grants of stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, to newly-elected independent directors generally are made at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board following their election. If an independent director is appointed between regularly scheduled Board meetings, then grants of stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, generally are made at the first meeting in attendance after such appointment.

Timing of Equity Awards.  We do not have a formal policy on the timing of equity awards in connection with the release of material non-public information to affect the value of compensation. In the event that material non-public information becomes known to the Compensation Committee prior to granting equity awards, the Compensation Committee will take the existence of such information under advisement and make an assessment in its business judgment regarding whether to delay the grant of the equity award in order to avoid any potential impropriety.

Executive Benefits and Perquisites

We provide certain personal benefits to our named executive officers. The primary personal benefits provided to one or more of the named executive officers include: (1) certain pension benefits (or payments in lieu thereof) in the United Kingdom; (2) personal club dues; (3) company matching 401(k) contributions in the U.S.; (4) relocation expenses; (5) housing and related expenses and tax gross-ups; (6) private medical insurance for officers who are not U.S. citizens; and (7) transportation, automobile allowances, a leased car and the use of a car service.

Mr. Eccleshare participates in a private pension scheme (not sponsored by Clear Channel Outdoor) and, pursuant to his employment agreement, is entitled to have the Company contribute a portion of his salary to the private pension scheme. The pension scheme provides pension income at retirement based upon contributions made during the employee’s years of participation. Mr. Eccleshare is required to make contributions to this scheme in order for the Company to make contributions (or provide cash benefits to him as salary in lieu of such contributions). He also receives a car allowance and leased car in the United Kingdom, private medical insurance and we have agreed to make a car service available for his business use in the United States. In addition, Mr. Eccleshare is reimbursed for the annual dues for memberships in certain clubs and we provide private medical insurance benefits to Mr. Eccleshare.

Table of Contents

Since 2009, we have recruited and hired several new executive officers and have promoted and relocated executive officers, as well as other officers and key employees. As part of this process, the Compensation Committee considered the benefits that would be appropriate to provide to facilitate and/or accelerate their relocation to our corporate locations. After experience recruiting and hiring several new executive officers and other key personnel since 2009, in October 2010 the Compensation Committee adopted a new Company-wide tiered relocation policy reflecting these types of relocation benefits. The Company-wide new relocation policy applies only in the case of a Company-requested relocation and provides different levels of benefits based on the employee’s level within the organization. In connection with his promotion to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Eccleshare relocated from our offices in London to our offices in New York City and then relocated back to London upon his transition to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CCI in March 2015. Through the negotiation of his employment agreement, we agreed to provide Mr. Eccleshare with the additional benefits described under “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers” below in consideration of his international relocation.

The Compensation Committee believes that the above benefits provide a more tangible incentive than an equivalent amount of cash compensation. In determining the named executive officers’ total compensation, the Compensation Committee will consider these benefits. However, as these benefits and perquisites represent a relatively small portion of the named executive officers’ total compensation (or, in the case of benefits such as relocation benefits, are not intended to occur frequently for each named executive officer), it is unlikely that they will materially influence the Compensation Committee’s decision in setting such named executive officers’ total compensation. For further discussion of these benefits and perquisites, including the methodology for computing their costs, please refer to the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement, as well as the All Other Compensation table included in footnote (d) to the Summary Compensation Table. For further information about other benefits provided to the named executive officers, please refer to “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers.”

Severance Arrangements

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, each of our named executive officers is entitled to certain payments and benefits in certain termination situations or upon a change in control. We believe that our severance arrangements facilitate an orderly transition in the event of changes in management. For further discussion of severance payments and benefits, see “Executive Compensation—Potential Post-Employment Payments” set forth below in this proxy statement.

Roles and Responsibilities

Role of the Committee.  The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for conducting reviews of our executive compensation policies and strategies, overseeing and evaluating our overall compensation structure and programs, setting executive compensation, setting performance goals and evaluating the performance of executive officers against those goals and approving equity awards. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are described above under “The Board of Directors—Committees of the Board.”

Role of Executive Officers.  The Chief Executive Officer provides reviews and recommendations regarding executive compensation programs, policies and governance for the Compensation Committee’s consideration. His responsibilities included, but are not limited to:

27

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee has the responsibility for administrating performance awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. These duties included, among other things, setting the performance period, setting the performance goals and certifying the achievement of the predetermined performance goals by each named executive officer.

Use of Compensation Consultants.  As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” our parent entity provides us with certain services, including human resources support. During 2015, iHeartMedia’s management retained Mercer (US) Inc. to provide, using its existing sources of data, market competitive compensation data for the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer positions at companies similar to iHeartMedia. Mercer (US) Inc. is affiliated with Marsh & McLennan Companies (together with its affiliated companies, “MMC”). During 2015, MMC was retained by management to provide services unrelated to executive or director compensation, including: an equity plan overhang analysis, consulting regarding international long-term incentive practices, leasing services, as well as insurance and brokerage services. MMC’s fees during 2014 with respect to its review of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer compensation were $10,984, and the aggregate fees for the other services provided by MMC during 2015 were approximately $1.6 million.

iHeartMedia requested and received responses from MMC addressing its independence, including the following factors: (1) other services provided to iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries by MMC; (2) fees paid iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries as a percentage of MMC’s total revenue; (3) policies or procedures maintained by MMC that are designed to prevent a conflict of interest; (4) any business or personal relationships between the individual consultants involved in the engagements and a member of the Compensation Committee; (5) any iHeartMedia or Clear Channel Outdoor stock owned by the individual consultants involved in the engagements; and (6) any business or personal relationships between our executive officers and MMC or the individual consultants involved in the engagements. The Compensation Committee discussed these considerations and concluded that MMC’s work does not raise any conflict of interest.

TAX AND ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation Clear Channel Outdoor may deduct for Federal income tax purposes in any one year with respect to certain senior executives of Clear Channel Outdoor, which we referred to herein as the “Covered Employees.” However, performance-based compensation that meets certain requirements is excluded from this $1,000,000 limitation.

In reviewing the effectiveness of the executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment to Clear Channel Outdoor and to the Covered Employees of various payments and benefits. However, the deductibility of certain compensation payments depends upon the timing of a Covered Employee’s vesting or exercise of previously granted equity awards, as well as interpretations and changes in the tax laws and other factors beyond the control of the Compensation Committee. For these and other reasons, including to maintain flexibility in compensating the named executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the Compensation Committee will not necessarily, or in all circumstances, limit executive compensation to that which is deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code and has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible. The Compensation Committee may consider various alternatives to preserving the deductibility of compensation payments and benefits to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent consistent with its other compensation objectives.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Clear Channel Outdoor accounts for stock-based payments, including awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 718 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R)).

For further discussion of the assumptions made in valuation, see also Note 9-Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit) beginning on page A-67 of Appendix A.

With respect to 2015, (1) Mr. Bressler also earned an additional $500,000 from iHeartMedia (a portion of which was allocated to Clear Channel Outdoor under the Corporate Services Agreement) and (2) Mr. Macri also earned an additional $300,000 from iHeartMedia (a portion of which was allocated to Clear Channel Outdoor under the Corporate Services Agreement), in each case base on pre-established performance goals with respect to 2015. These amounts were not reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column with respect to 2015 because they are to be paid at the same time as annual bonuses in 2018 if they remain employed through the payment date.

For 2015, the All Other Compensation column also reflects the allocation to us pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement of:

Mr. Eccleshare is a citizen of the United Kingdom. The amounts reported for Mr. Eccleshare for 2015 that were originally denominated in British pounds have been converted to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate of £1=$1.5281 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Mr. Eccleshare is reimbursed for car service use for commuting and other personal purposes. Pursuant to his employment agreement and in connection with his relocation to the United States and relocation back to London upon his transition to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CCI, Mr. Eccleshare also receives certain housing, tax and other benefits.

Except as described below with respect to aircraft usage, the value of all benefits included in the All Other Compensation column is based on actual costs. For a description of the items reflected in the table above, see “—Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers” below.

From time to time, our officers use aircraft owned or leased by iHeartMedia, pursuant to iHeartMedia’s Aircraft Policy. The value of personal aircraft usage reported above is based on iHeartMedia’s direct variable operating costs. This methodology calculates an average variable cost per hour of flight. iHeartMedia applies the same methodology to aircraft that are covered by contracts with an outside aircraft management company under which iHeartMedia reimburses the aircraft management company for costs that would otherwise be incurred directly by iHeartMedia (including crew salaries, insurance, fuel and hangar rent) and pays them a monthly management fee for the oversight and administrative services that would otherwise have to be provided by iHeartMedia. On certain occasions, an executive’s spouse or other family members and guests may accompany the executive on a flight and the additional direct operating cost incurred in such situations is included under the foregoing methodology.

Robert W. Pittman

On October 2, 2011, iHeartMedia entered into an employment agreement with Robert W. Pittman, pursuant to which he serves as Chief Executive Officer of iHeartMedia and served as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of CCOH. On March 2, 2015, Mr. Pittman became the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CCOH. The October 2, 2011 employment agreement superseded the consulting agreement that Mr. Pittman previously entered into with iHeartMedia and Pilot Group Manager LLC, dated November 15, 2010, and had an initial term ending on December 31, 2016, with automatic 12-month extensions thereafter unless either party provided prior notice electing not to extend the employment agreement. On January 13, 2014, iHeartMedia entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Pittman. The amended and restated employment agreement has an initial five-year term ending on January 13, 2019, with automatic 12-month extensions thereafter unless either party gives prior notice electing not to extend the agreement.

Pursuant to his amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Pittman’s minimum base salary increased from $1,000,000 per year under his previous employment agreement to $1,200,000 per year. His base salary may be increased (but not decreased) at the discretion of iHeartMedia’s Board or its compensation committee. Mr. Pittman also has the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus for the achievement of reasonable performance goals established annually by iHeartMedia’s Board or its compensation committee after consultation with Mr. Pittman. Under Mr. Pittman’s previous employment agreement, his aggregate target annual bonus that could be earned upon achievement of all of his performance objectives was not less than $1,650,000. Under the amended and restated employment agreement, beginning in 2014, Mr. Pittman’s aggregate target annual performance bonus is 150% of his annual base salary. For 2015, Mr. Pittman received an annual incentive bonus of $1,700,000, including a discretionary bonus of $174,932. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus.”

Mr. Pittman is entitled to participate in all pension, profit sharing and other retirement plans, all incentive compensation plans, all group health, hospitalization and disability or other insurance plans, paid vacation, sick leave and other employee welfare benefit plans in which other similarly situated employees of iHeartMedia may participate. In addition, during the term of his employment, iHeartMedia will make an aircraft (which, to the extent available, will be a Dassault-Breguet Mystere Falcon 900) available to Mr. Pittman for his business and personal use and will pay all costs associated with the provision of the aircraft. iHeartMedia leases this aircraft from a company controlled by Mr. Pittman. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Commercial Transactions.” If a company aircraft is not available due to service or maintenance issues, iHeartMedia will charter a comparable aircraft for Mr. Pittman’s business and personal use. iHeartMedia also will make a car and driver available for Mr. Pittman’s business and personal use in and around the New York area as well as anywhere else on company business. During 2014, iHeartMedia reimbursed Mr. Pittman for legal fees incurred by Mr. Pittman in connection with the negotiation of the amended and restated employment agreement.

Pursuant to his previous employment agreement, on October 2, 2011, Mr. Pittman was granted a stock option to purchase 830,000 shares of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” below. In connection with the amended and restated employment agreement, on January 13, 2014, iHeartMedia and Mr. Pittman amended his stock option to terminate and forfeit 200,000 of the options. The termination and forfeiture applied ratably such that, effective January 13, 2014, 252,000 of the options were vested and 378,000 of the options vest ratably on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the October 2, 2011 grant date.

Pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreement, on January 13, 2014, iHeartMedia granted Mr. Pittman 350,000 restricted shares of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock. Mr. Pittman’s iHeartMedia restricted stock award is divided into two tranches consisting of: (1) 100,000 shares (the “Tranche 1 Shares”) and (2) 250,000 shares (the “Tranche 2 Shares”). The Tranche 1 Shares vest in two equal parts on each of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018. The Tranche 2 Shares vest only if the Sponsors receive a 100%

return on their investment in iHeartMedia in the form of cash returns. In addition, as provided in the amended and restated employment agreement, on January 13, 2014, CCOH granted Mr. Pittman 271,739 restricted shares of CCOH’s Class A common stock. Mr. Pittman’s CCOH restricted stock award vests in two equal parts on each of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

Mr. Pittman’s amended and restated employment agreement contains a 280G “gross-up” provision that applies in certain circumstances in which any payments (the “Company Payments”) received by Mr. Pittman are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” subject to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any such excise tax is imposed, the shareholder approval rules of Q&A 6 in the applicable Section 280G regulations (the “Cleansing Vote Rules”) are applicable and Mr. Pittman declines to submit such excess parachute payments for approval by iHeartMedia’s shareholders, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Pittman an amount equal to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are not applicable, Mr. Pittman will be entitled to a gross-up payment equal to (1) the excise tax and (2) any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll tax imposed on the gross-up payment (excluding any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll taxes otherwise imposed on the Company Payments); provided that if the Company Payments are found to be equal to or less than 110% of the “safe harbor” amount referenced in the amended and restated employment agreement, the Company Payments will be reduced to equal the safe harbor amount, such that no excise tax will be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Pittman is required to protect the secrecy of the confidential information of iHeartMedia, CCOH and the subsidiaries of each (the “Company Group”). He also is prohibited by the agreement from engaging in certain activities that compete with the Company Group during employment and for 18 months after his employment terminates, and he is prohibited from soliciting employees or customers of the Company Group during employment and for 18 months after termination of employment. iHeartMedia agreed to defend and indemnify Mr. Pittman for acts committed in the course and scope of his employment.

Richard J. Bressler

On July 29, 2013, iHeartMedia entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bressler. The employment agreement has an initial term ending on December 31, 2018, with automatic 12-month extensions beginning on January 1, 2019 unless either party gives prior notice electing not to extend the employment agreement.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Bressler receives a base salary from iHeartMedia at a rate no less than $1,200,000 per year, subject to increase at the discretion of iHeartMedia’s board of directors or its compensation committee. Mr. Bressler also has the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus from iHeartMedia for the achievement of reasonable performance goals established annually by iHeartMedia’s board of directors or its compensation committee after consultation with Mr. Bressler. The annual target performance bonus that may be earned from iHeartMedia when all of Mr. Bressler’s performance objectives are achieved will be not less than 150% of Mr. Bressler’s base salary amount. In addition to the annual bonus, Mr. Bressler is also eligible for an additional annual bonus opportunity from iHeartMedia of up to $500,000, based on iHeartMedia’s achievement of one or more annual performance goals determined by iHeartMedia’s chief executive officer and approved by iHeartMedia’s board of directors or a committee thereof. Any additional bonus amounts will be paid during the quarter that follows the third anniversary of the beginning of the applicable performance period and will be contingent in each case upon Mr. Bressler’s continued employment through the applicable payment date. For 2015, Mr. Bressler received from iHeartMedia an annual incentive bonus of $1,700,000, including a discretionary bonus of $174,932. Mr. Bressler also earned an additional bonus of $500,000 which will be paid when performance bonuses are generally paid in 2018 if he remains employed on the payment date. Mr. Bressler also is entitled to participate in all pension, profit sharing and other retirement plans, all incentive compensation plans, all group health, hospitalization and disability or other insurance plans, paid vacation, sick leave and other employee welfare benefit plans in which other similarly situated employees of iHeartMedia may participate.

Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement contains a 280G “gross-up” provision that applies in certain circumstances in which any payments (the “Company Payments”) received by Mr. Bressler are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” subject to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any such excise tax is imposed, the shareholder approval rules of Q&A 6 in the applicable Section 280G regulations (the “Cleansing Vote Rules”) are applicable and Mr. Bressler declines to submit the excess parachute payments for approval by iHeartMedia’s shareholders, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Bressler an amount equal to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are not applicable, Mr. Bressler will be entitled to a gross-up payment equal to (1) the excise tax and (2) any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll tax imposed on such gross-up payment (excluding any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll taxes otherwise imposed on the Company Payments); provided that if the Company Payments are found to be equal to or less than 110% of the “safe harbor” amount referenced in Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement, the Company Payments will be reduced to equal the safe harbor amount, such that no excise tax will be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

As provided in Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement, on July 29, 2013, Clear Channel Outdoor granted Mr. Bressler 271,739 restricted shares of the Class A common stock of Clear Channel Outdoor. See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2014 table and “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” below for a description of the terms of the award.

C. William Eccleshare

January 24, 2012 Employment Agreement.  On January 24, 2012, Mr. Eccleshare was promoted to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor, overseeing both our Americas and International divisions. In connection with his promotion, Clear Channel Outdoor and Mr. Eccleshare entered into a new employment agreement. Mr. Eccleshare’s employment agreement has an initial term beginning on January 24, 2012 and continuing until December 31, 2014, with automatic 12-month extensions thereafter, beginning on January 1, 2015, unless either Clear Channel Outdoor or Mr. Eccleshare gives prior notice electing not to extend the employment agreement. The employment agreement replaces Mr. Eccleshare’s Contract of Employment dated August 31, 2009.

As our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Eccleshare relocated from our offices in London to our offices in New York City in 2012. In his new position, Mr. Eccleshare receives an annual base salary of $1,000,000; provided, however, that until Mr. Eccleshare relocated to the United States, his base salary was to be paid in British pounds (using an exchange rate of £1=$1.49). His salary will be reviewed at least annually for possible increase by our Board. During the term of the employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus with a target of not less than $1,000,000 and the opportunity to earn up to 200% of the target amount based on the achievement of the performance goals specified in his employment agreement for 2012 and the performance goals to be set by the Compensation Committee of our Board for years after 2012. In addition to the annual bonus, Mr. Eccleshare is eligible to receive an additional annual bonus of up to $300,000 based on the achievement of one or more annual performance goals determined by our Board or a subcommittee thereof. Any bonus earned under the additional bonus opportunity will be paid by us in equal cash installments

on or about the first, second and third anniversary of the beginning of the applicable performance period and will be contingent in each case upon his continued employment through the applicable payment date.

We continue to contribute to Mr. Eccleshare’s personal pension plan registered under Chapter 2, Part 4 of the Finance Act of 2004 in the United Kingdom, as provided in his previous Contract of Employment. We also agreed to reimburse Mr. Eccleshare for the reasonable costs and expenses (not to exceed $25,000 annually, fully grossed-up for applicable taxes) associated with filing his U.S. and U.K. personal income tax returns, as applicable. If Mr. Eccleshare’s actual U.S. and U.K. income tax and Social Security/National Insurance in a given year exceeds the tax obligations that he would have incurred on the same income (excluding all taxable income not paid by us or a subsidiary or affiliate) had he remained subject only to U.K. income tax and National Insurance over the same period, we will reimburse this excess tax on a fully-grossed up basis for applicable taxes. We also agreed to make a car service available for Mr. Eccleshare’s business use and paid all fees associated with the immigration applications for Mr. Eccleshare and his spouse. Mr. Eccleshare is eligible to receive health, medical, welfare and life insurance benefits and paid vacation on a basis no less favorable than provided to our similarly-situated senior executives; provided, however, that his life insurance benefit shall be for an amount equal to four times his annual base salary. Further, we agreed to make a car service available to Mr. Eccleshare for his business use. Mr. Eccleshare is also to be reimbursed for travel and entertainment related expenses, consistent with past practices pursuant to Company policy.

As provided in the employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare was awarded 506,329 restricted stock units with respect to our Class A common stock on July 26, 2012 in connection with his promotion. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” below.

Mr. Eccleshare also is subject to customary confidentiality, work product and trade secret provisions. During the term of the employment agreement, Mr. Eccleshare may continue to perform non-executive services with Hays plc. Upon his service with Hays plc ceasing, Mr. Eccleshare will be permitted to perform another non-executive role at any time with a business that does not compete with us or our affiliates, subject to our prior written consent that will not be unreasonably withheld.

Effective March 3, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), CCOH entered into an employment agreement (the “Wells Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Wells. The Wells Employment Agreement has an initial term (the “Initial Term”) that ends on March 2, 2019 and thereafter provides for automatic four-year extensions, unless either CCOH or Mr. Wells gives prior notice electing not to extend the agreement.

CCOH will reimburse Mr. Wells for the attorneys’ fees incurred by Mr. Wells in connection with the negotiation of the Wells Employment Agreement and ancillary documents, up to a maximum reimbursement of $25,000 in the aggregate. The Wells Employment Agreement also contains a customary confidentiality provision that survives Mr. Wells’ termination of employment, as well as customary non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply during employment and for the 12-month period thereafter.

38

Table of Contents

Employment Agreement) or if Mr. Wells’ employment is terminated following CCOH’s notice of non-renewal, CCOH shall pay to Mr. Wells: (i) Mr. Wells’ accrued and unpaid base salary; (ii) any earned but unpaid prior year bonus, if any, through the date of termination; (iii) any unreimbursed business expenses; and (iv) any payments to which he may be entitled under any applicable employee benefit plan according to the terms of such plans and policies (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”). In addition, if Mr. Wells has signed and returned (and has not revoked) a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to CCOH by the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of his termination, CCOH will: (i) pay to Mr. Wells, in periodic payments over a period of 18 months following such date of termination in accordance with ordinary payroll practices and deductions in effect on the date of termination, Mr. Wells’ base salary; (ii) pay Mr. Wells in a lump sum an amount equal to the COBRA premium payments Mr. Wells would be required to pay for continuation of healthcare coverage during the 12-month period following the date of Mr. Wells’ termination (less the amount that Mr. Wells would have had to pay for such coverage as an active employee); (iii) pay to Mr. Wells a prorated bonus, calculated based upon performance as of the termination date as related to overall performance at the end of the calendar year; (iv) pay to Mr. Wells a separation bonus in an amount equal to the Target Bonus to which Mr. Wells would be entitled for the year in which Mr. Wells’ employment terminates; and (v) any unvested Time Vesting Options (as defined below) scheduled to vest within the twelve (12) month period following the date of termination will vest in full on the date of termination and any unvested Performance Vesting Options (as defined below) will remain eligible to vest for the three (3) month period following the date of termination.

GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS

Stock Incentive Plans

Clear Channel Outdoor grants equity incentive awards to named executive officers and other eligible participants under its Stock Incentive Plan. The Stock Incentive Plan is intended to facilitate the ability of Clear Channel Outdoor to attract, motivate and retain employees, directors and other personnel through the use of equity-based and other incentive compensation opportunities.

The Stock Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of restricted stock, incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, director shares, deferred stock rights and other types of stock-based and/or performance-based awards to any present or future director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor of or to Clear Channel Outdoor or its subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, except that the entire Board has sole authority for granting and administering awards to non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee determines which eligible persons receive an award and the types of awards to be granted as well as the amounts, terms and conditions of each award including, if relevant, the exercise price, the form of payment of the exercise price, the number of shares, cash or other consideration subject to the award and the vesting schedule. These terms and conditions will be set forth in the award agreement furnished to each participant at the time an award is granted to him or her under the Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee also makes other determinations and interpretations necessary to carry out the purposes of the Stock Incentive Plan. For a description of the treatment of awards upon a participant’s termination of employment or change in control, see “—Potential Post-Employment Payments.”

Cash Incentive Plan

As discussed above, named executive officers also are eligible to receive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus” for a more detailed description of the Annual Incentive Plan and the grant of awards to the named executive officers thereunder.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning plan-based awards granted to the named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2015. As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions— iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” our parent entities provide us with, among other things, certain executive officer services. A portion (38.72%, 19.36% and 38.72%) of the annual incentive awards provided by our parent entities to Messrs. Bressler, Macri and Hamilton, respectively, with respect to 2015 was allocated to us in recognition of their services provided to us. Those allocated amounts are reflected in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2015 table below and 100% of the annual incentive awards to the named executive officers of iHeartMedia are reflected by iHeartMedia in the comparable table in its proxy statement.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

iHeartCommunications historically has offered a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, pursuant to which participants could make an annual election to defer up to 50% of their annual salary and up to 80% of their bonus before taxes. Any matching credits on amounts would be made in iHeartCommunications’ sole discretion. Participants in the plan could allocate their deferrals and any matching credits among different investment options, the performance of which would be used to determine the amounts to be paid to participants under the plan.

The committee that administers the nonqualified deferred compensation plan decided to suspend all salary and bonus deferral contributions and matching contributions for the 2010 plan year and all succeeding plan years until reinstated by such committee. None of the named executive officers currently participates in the plan.

POTENTIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT PAYMENTS

The following narrative and table describe the potential payments or benefits upon termination, change in control or other post-employment scenarios for each of our named executive officers, using an assumed December 31, 2015 trigger event for each scenario.

As described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—iHeartMedia, Inc.—Corporate Services Agreement,” iHeartCommunications, our indirect parent entity, makes available to us, and we are obligated to use, the services of certain executive officers of iHeartCommunications and a portion of their salary and other personnel costs are allocated to us in recognition of their services provided to us. The provisions of their agreements are described below to the extent that amounts payable thereunder would be allocated to us under the Corporate Services Agreement upon termination, change in control or other post-employment scenario.

Robert W. Pittman

Termination by iHeartMedia for Cause, by Mr. Pittman without Good Cause or Upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement by Mr. Pittman.  Robert W. Pittman’s employment agreement provides for the following payments and benefits upon termination by us for “Cause,” by Mr. Pittman without “Good Cause” or due to the non-renewal of the agreement by Mr. Pittman.

Under the agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (1) conduct by Mr. Pittman constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties; (2) continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by Mr. Pittman of his duties under the agreement (other than by reason of physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) where such non-performance has continued for more than 15 business days after written notice; (3) Mr. Pittman’s refusal or failure to follow lawful directives consistent with his job responsibilities where such refusal or failure has continued for more than 15 business days after written notice; (4) a criminal conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere by, Mr. Pittman for a felony or material violation of any securities law including, without limitation, a conviction of fraud, theft or embezzlement or a crime involving moral turpitude; (5) a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Pittman; or (6) a material violation by Mr. Pittman of iHeartMedia’s employment policies regarding harassment. In the case of (1), (3), (5) or (6), those acts will not constitute Cause unless Mr. Pittman has been given written notice specifying the conduct qualifying for Cause and Mr. Pittman fails to cure within 15 business days after receipt of the notice.

The term “Good Cause” includes, subject to certain exceptions: (1) a repeated willful failure by iHeartMedia to comply with a material term of the agreement after written notice by Mr. Pittman specifying the

45

Table of Contents

alleged failure; (2) a substantial and adverse change in Mr. Pittman’s position, material duties, responsibilities or authority; or (3) a material reduction in Mr. Pittman’s base salary, performance bonus opportunity or additional bonus opportunity. To terminate for Good Cause, Mr. Pittman must provide iHeartMedia with 30 days’ notice, after which iHeartMedia has 15 days to cure.

If iHeartMedia terminates Mr. Pittman’s employment for Cause, iHeartMedia will pay Mr. Pittman a lump sum cash payment equal to Mr. Pittman’s accrued and unpaid base salary through the date of termination and any payments to which he may be entitled under applicable employee benefit plans (“Accrued Amounts”). If Mr. Pittman terminates his employment without Good Cause or elects not to renew his employment agreement, iHeartMedia will pay Mr. Pittman a lump sum cash payment equal to his Accrued Amounts and any earned but unpaid annual bonus with respect to a previous year (“Earned Prior Year Annual Bonus”).

Termination by iHeartMedia without Cause, by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause, Upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement by iHeartMedia or Upon Change in Control.  If iHeartMedia terminates Mr. Pittman’s employment without Cause, if Mr. Pittman terminates his employment for Good Cause or if iHeartMedia gives Mr. Pittman a notice of non-renewal, Mr. Pittman will receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to his Accrued Amounts and any Earned Prior Year Annual Bonus. In addition, provided he signs and returns a release of claims in the time period required, iHeartMedia will: (1) pay Mr. Pittman, over a period of two years, an amount equal to two times the sum of his base salary and target bonus; (2) reimburse Mr. Pittman for all COBRA premium payments paid by Mr. Pittman for continuation of healthcare coverage during the 18-month period following the date of Mr. Pittman’s termination; and (3) pay Mr. Pittman a prorated annual bonus with respect to the days he was employed in the year that includes the termination, calculated as if he had remained employed through the normal payment date (“Prorated Annual Bonus”). Mr. Pittman’s employment agreement does not provide for payments or benefits upon a change in control. Accordingly, if he is terminated without Cause after a change in control, Mr. Pittman will be entitled to the benefits described for a termination without Cause.

Termination due to Death or Disability.  If Mr. Pittman is unable to perform his duties under the agreement on a full-time basis for more than 180 days in any 12-month period, iHeartMedia may terminate his employment. If Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Pittman or his designee or estate: (1) a lump sum cash payment equal to his Accrued Amounts; (2) any Earned Prior Year Annual Bonus; and (3) a Prorated Annual Bonus. If a release of claims is signed and returned in the time period required, iHeartMedia will reimburse Mr. Pittman or his estate for all COBRA premium payments paid by Mr. Pittman or his estate for continuation of healthcare coverage during the 18-month period following Mr. Pittman’s date of termination.

Impact of Termination on October 2, 2011 and October 15, 2012 Equity Awards.  Except as described below, upon termination of Mr. Pittman’s employment, all of his outstanding and unvested iHeartMedia stock options granted on October 2, 2011 and restricted stock granted on October 15, 2012 will be cancelled. If Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated by iHeartMedia without Cause or by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause within 12 months after a change of control of iHeartMedia where the Sponsors do not receive cash as a direct result of such transaction in an amount equal to at least 75% of their equity interest in iHeartMedia immediately prior to the transaction, his unvested options will vest and become immediately exercisable. If Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated by iHeartMedia without Cause or by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause (in circumstances other than as described in the previous sentence), the portion of his unvested options that would have vested within 12 months after the date of termination will vest on the date of termination and become immediately exercisable. Upon termination of his employment due to death or disability, Mr. Pittman’s vested stock options will continue to be exercisable for the shorter of one year or the remaining 10-year term of the options. In the case of any termination of employment for a reason other than death or disability, Mr. Pittman’s vested stock options will continue to be exercisable for the shorter of six months or the remaining 10-year term of the options. If both of the following conditions occur during the six-month period after termination of Mr. Pittman’s employment, the period in which to exercise a vested option will be extended by an additional six months (in no event beyond the 10-year term of the options): (1) the average closing value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average

46

Table of Contents

for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date the options would otherwise expire pursuant to the previous two sentences (the “Exercise Measurement Period”) is at least 20% less than for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the date Mr. Pittman’s employment terminated (the “Base Measurement Period”) and (2) the average closing price of the Class A common stock as reported on the principle exchange on which it is listed for trading during the Exercise Measurement Period is at least 25% less than the average closing price of the Class A common stock reported on such exchange for the Base Measurement Period. If Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated by iHeartMedia without Cause within 12 months after a change of control, his time-vesting iHeartMedia restricted stock granted on October 15, 2012 will vest.

On January 13, 2014, Mr. Pittman and iHeartMedia amended and restated Mr. Pittman’s employment agreement, providing certain additional benefits to Mr. Pittman, as described below.

Impact of Termination on Equity Awards Granted on January 13, 2014.  In connection with Mr. Pittman’s amended and restated employment agreement, he was granted awards of restricted stock by iHeartMedia and CCOH on January 13, 2014.

The iHeartMedia restricted stock award granted on January 13, 2014 is divided into the Tranche 1 Shares and the Tranche 2 Shares. The Tranche 1 Shares will: (1) continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the award agreement upon a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement); (2) vest with respect to 50,000 shares in the event Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated by iHeartMedia without Cause or by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause, because iHeartMedia does not renew his employment agreement or because of Mr. Pittman’s death or disability (each, a “Good Leaver Termination”); and (3) vest with respect to 100% of any unvested shares if a Good Leaver Termination occurs within 90 days of a Change in Control. The Tranche 2 Shares will: (1) in the case of a Good Leaver Termination, be subject to continued vesting for the six-month period following such termination in accordance with the Qualifying Return to Investor metrics set forth in the award agreement; (2) in the case of a Standalone CIC (defined as a Change in Control that the Board determines is not effected by an entity with material operating assets and after which the business and assets of iHeartMedia continue on a standalone basis materially consistent with immediately prior to the Change in Control), be converted to a dollar vesting schedule such that the Tranche 2 Shares will vest, if at all, at 100% on the date that the Fair Market Value (as defined in the award agreement) of one share of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock reaches $36; (3) in the case of a Good Leaver Termination that occurs during the 18-month period following a Standalone CIC, vest as to 75% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Standalone CIC takes place prior to the first anniversary of the grant date; vest as to 50% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Standalone CIC takes place on or after the first anniversary of the grant date but prior to the second anniversary of the grant date; and vest as to 25% of any unvested Tranche 2 if such Standalone CIC takes place on or after the second anniversary of the grant date but prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date; and (4) in the case of a Change of Control that is not a Standalone CIC, vest as to 75% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Change in Control takes place prior to the first anniversary of the grant date; vest as to 50% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Change in Control takes place on or after the first anniversary of the grant date but prior to the second anniversary of the grant date; and vest as to 25% of any unvested Tranche 2 Shares if such Change in Control takes place on or after the second anniversary of the grant date but prior to the third anniversary of the grant date. Any unvested shares that do not vest as described above will terminate on the date his employment terminates.

With respect to the CCOH restricted stock, in the event that Mr. Pittman’s employment with iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries is terminated by iHeartMedia for a reason other than Cause or by Mr. Pittman for Good Cause, 50% of any shares of CCOH restricted stock that would otherwise vest within 12 months after such termination will remain outstanding and vest on the date such shares would otherwise have vested, except that if such termination occurs during the 90-day period prior to or the 12-month period following a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement), 100% of any unvested CCOH restricted stock will vest upon the consummation of such Change in Control (or on the termination date in the case of a termination following a Change in Control). If Mr. Pittman ceases to be Executive Chairman of the Board of CCOH but continues to be employed by iHeartMedia, all unvested shares of CCOH restricted stock outstanding as of such termination will

47

Table of Contents

be converted into a number of shares of restricted stock of iHeartMedia having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in iHeartMedia’s Stock Incentive Plan) equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such unvested shares, in each case, as of the date of such termination, with such iHeartMedia restricted stock vesting on the terms and conditions as are set forth in the CCOH award agreement (substituting iHeartMedia for CCOH). In the event of Mr. Pittman’s termination of employment or service from iHeartMedia for any other reason, then all unvested shares of CCOH restricted stock will be immediately forfeited.

Gross-Up Provisions under Mr. Pittman’s January 13, 2014 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.  Mr. Pittman’s amended and restated employment agreement contains a 280G “gross-up” provision that applies in certain circumstances in which any Company Payments received by Mr. Pittman are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” subject to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are applicable and Mr. Pittman declines to submit such excess parachute payments for approval by iHeartMedia’s shareholders, iHeartMedia will pay to Mr. Pittman an amount equal to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at the time any excise tax is imposed, the Cleansing Vote Rules are not applicable, Mr. Pittman will be entitled to a gross-up payment equal to (1) the excise tax and (2) any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll tax imposed on the gross-up payment (excluding any U.S. Federal, state and local income or payroll taxes otherwise imposed on the Company Payments); provided that if the Company Payments are found to be equal to or less than 110% of the “safe harbor” amount referenced in Mr. Pittman’s employment agreement, the Company Payments will be reduced to equal the safe harbor amount, such that no excise tax will be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

In the event that Mr. Pittman’s employment is terminated due to his death, disability or retirement, then subject to Mr. Pittman’s or his estate’s execution and non-revocation of a release within 60 days of Mr. Pittman’s termination, iHeartMedia will pay him (or his estate) a lump sum amount equal to any taxes paid by Mr. Pittman in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the iHeartMedia restricted stock awarded on January 13, 2014 that, at the time of such death, disability or retirement, remains unvested. For purposes of Mr. Pittman’s employment agreement, retirement is deemed to occur if, for the 12-month period following Mr. Pittman’s termination by reason of non-renewal of the employment agreement by either party (excluding termination by iHeartMedia for Cause or due to disability) or by Mr. Pittman without Good Cause, Mr. Pittman does not commence employment with or provide significant services as an advisor or consultant to iHeartMedia or any unaffiliated companies.

Richard J. Bressler

Termination by iHeartMedia for Cause, by Mr. Bressler without Good Cause or Upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement by Mr. Bressler.  Richard J. Bressler’s employment agreement provides for the following payments and benefits upon termination by iHeartMedia for “Cause,” by Mr. Bressler without “Good Cause” or due to the non-renewal of the agreement by Mr. Bressler.

Under the agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (1) conduct by Mr. Bressler constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties; (2) continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by Mr. Bressler of his duties under the agreement (other than by reason of physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) where such non-performance has continued for more than 15 business days after written notice; (3) Mr. Bressler’s refusal or failure to follow lawful directives consistent with his job responsibilities where such refusal or failure has continued for more than 15 business days after written notice; (4) a criminal conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere by, Mr. Bressler for a felony or material violation of any securities law including, without limitation, a conviction of fraud, theft or embezzlement or a crime involving moral turpitude; (5) a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Bressler; or (6) a material violation by Mr. Bressler of iHeartMedia’s employment policies regarding harassment. In the case of (1), (3), (5) or (6), those acts will not constitute Cause unless Mr. Bressler has been given written notice specifying the conduct qualifying for Cause and Mr. Bressler fails to cure within 15 business days after receipt of the notice.

48

Table of Contents

The term “Good Cause” includes, subject to certain exceptions: (1) a repeated willful failure by iHeartMedia to comply with a material term of the agreement after written notice by Mr. Bressler specifying the alleged failure; (2) a substantial and adverse change in Mr. Bressler’s position, material duties, responsibilities or authority; or (3) a material reduction in Mr. Bressler’s base salary, performance bonus opportunity or additional bonus opportunity.

In the event that Mr. Bressler’s employment with iHeartMedia, Clear Channel Outdoor and its subsidiaries is terminated by iHeartMedia or Clear Channel Outdoor for a reason other than Cause or by Mr. Bressler for Good Cause, 50% of any shares of the restricted stock that would otherwise vest within 12 months after such termination will remain outstanding and vest on the date such shares would otherwise have vested, except that if such termination occurs during the 90-day period prior to or the 12-month period following a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement), 100% of any unvested restricted stock will vest upon the consummation of such Change in Control (or on the termination date in the case of a termination following a Change in Control).

The term “Good Reason” includes: (1) a change in Mr. Eccleshare’s reporting line; (2) a material change in his titles, duties or authorities (provided that Mr. Eccleshare shall not have Good Reason to terminate employment if, after a restructuring or reorganization of Clear Channel Outdoor or a sale or spinoff of all or a portion of Clear Channel Outdoor’s operations, Mr. Eccleshare continues as Chief Executive Officer of CCI (or any of its successors)); (3) a reduction in Mr. Eccleshare’s base salary or target bonus, other than an across-the-board reduction applicable to all senior executive officers of Clear Channel Outdoor; (4) a required relocation within the domestic United States of more than 50 miles of his primary place of employment; or (5) a material breach by Clear Channel Outdoor of the terms of the employment agreement. To terminate for Good Reason, Mr. Eccleshare must provide Clear Channel Outdoor with 30 days’ written notice, after which Clear Channel Outdoor has 30 days to cure, and Mr. Eccleshare must terminate employment within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Company’s cure period, if he still intends to terminate.

If Mr. Eccleshare’s employment is terminated by Clear Channel Outdoor for Cause or by Mr. Eccleshare without Good Reason, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay to Mr. Eccleshare his accrued and unpaid base salary through the date of termination and any unreimbursed business expenses and any payments or benefits (including

accrued but untaken vacation, if any) required under applicable employee benefit plans or equity plans in accordance with such plans and/or policies (the “Accrued Amounts”). In addition, if Mr. Eccleshare terminates his employment without Good Reason and he signs and returns a release of claims in the time period required, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay to Mr. Eccleshare any annual bonus and additional bonus earned but unpaid with respect to the calendar year prior to the year of termination (the “Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus”) and, if Clear Channel Outdoor terminates Mr. Eccleshare’s employment after receipt of Mr. Eccleshare’s notice of termination, Clear Channel Outdoor will pay any base salary for any remaining portion of the 90-day advance notice period.

If Mr. Eccleshare is terminated for Cause, his Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will be cancelled and any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will be forfeited. If Mr. Eccleshare terminates his employment without Good Reason, any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will be cancelled, he will have three months to exercise any vested Clear Channel Outdoor stock options and any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will be forfeited. If his employment is terminated due to retirement (resignation from employment when the sum of his full years of age and full years of service equals at least 70, and he is at least 60 years of age with five full years of service at the time), all of his issued Clear Channel Outdoor stock options will continue to vest for the shorter of five years or the remainder of their original 10-year terms, and any unvested Clear Channel Outdoor restricted stock units will continue to vest as if he were employed.

In addition, if Mr. Eccleshare signs and returns a release of claims in the time period required, Clear Channel Outdoor will: (1) pay to Mr. Eccleshare a severance payment in an amount equal to 120% of his then-applicable base salary and 100% of his then-applicable target annual bonus in respect of the year of termination (the “Severance Payment”), with such Severance Payment to be paid in equal monthly installments for a period of 12 months after such termination; (2) reimburse his family’s reasonable relocation expenses from New York City to London that are incurred during employment or within 12 months after his termination, including reimbursement of the New York City apartment lease breakage fee, subject to submission of expenses in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policy (the “Relocation Fee”); (3) pay to Mr. Eccleshare the Earned Prior Year Annual and Additional Bonus; (4) pay to Mr. Eccleshare a pro rata portion of his annual bonus for the year of termination, calculated based upon performance as of the termination date as related to overall performance at the end of the calendar year for which pro rata portion of the annual bonus Mr. Eccleshare shall be eligible only if a bonus would have been earned by the end of the calendar year (the “Prorated Annual Bonus”); and (5) provide for him and his dependents continued participation in Clear Channel Outdoor’s group health plan that covers Mr. Eccleshare at Clear Channel Outdoor’s expense for a period of three months as long as he timely elects continued coverage and continues to pay copayment premiums at the same level and cost as Mr. Eccleshare paid immediately prior to the termination (the “COBRA Coverage Benefit”). If Mr. Eccleshare violates the non-competition, non-interference or non-solicitation covenants contained in the employment agreement (after being provided a 10-day cure opportunity to the extent such violation is curable), Mr. Eccleshare will forfeit any right to the pro rata portion of the Severance Payment for the number of months remaining in the 18-month non-compete period after termination. In addition, no Relocation Fee or COBRA Coverage Benefit will be paid in the event of a violation of the non-competition, non-interference or non-solicitation covenants contained in the employment agreement (after being provided a 10-day cure opportunity to the extent such violation is curable) and Mr. Eccleshare will reimburse Clear Channel Outdoor for any forfeited pro-rata portion of the Severance Payment, Relocation Fee and/or COBRA Coverage Benefit already paid.

RELATIONSHIP OF COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PROGRAMS TO RISK MANAGEMENT

In consultation with the Compensation Committee, management conducted an assessment of whether Clear Channel Outdoor’s compensation policies and practices encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking by our employees, including employees other than our named executive officers. This assessment included discussions with members of the corporate Human Resources, Legal and Finance departments, as well as personnel in the business units, and a review of corporate and operational compensation arrangements. The assessment analyzed the risk characteristics of our business and the design and structure of our incentive plans and policies. Although a significant portion of our executive compensation program is performance-based, the Compensation Committee has focused on aligning Clear Channel Outdoor’s compensation policies with the

Management reported its findings to the Compensation Committee, which agreed with management’s assessment that our plans and policies do not encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking and determined such policies or practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Clear Channel Outdoor.
