On May 17, 2021, Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (“CCWH”), a subsidiary of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), directed U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee of CCWH’s 9.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Existing Notes”), to deliver a conditional notice of redemption (the “Notice”) to the holders of the Existing Notes to redeem all of the outstanding $961,525,000 aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes. The redemption is conditioned on the successful completion of one or more debt refinancing transactions and the receipt of net proceeds from those transactions in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption prices. The conditional notice of redemption may be rescinded or amended under certain circumstances.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Notice.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On May 17, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of $1,050,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The issuance and sale of the Notes is expected to be completed on June 1, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. A copy of the press release announcing the pricing of the Notes is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, on the same date, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein (collectively, the “Guarantors”), and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers, relating to the sale of the Notes. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and Guarantors, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Guarantors (including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
