AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on May 13, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on July 10, 2019 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 thereto on July 31, 2019 (Amendment No. 2), and Amendment No. 3 thereto on August 2, 2019 (“Amendment No. 3” and, together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the same meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.    Identity and Background.

The information set forth below is hereby added after the fourth paragraph of Item 2 of the Schedule 13D:

On June 16, 2023, PIMCO entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC relating to certain disclosures in the 2014 and 2015 annual shareholder reports of PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (“PGP”) regarding PGP’s use of paired interest rate swaps in its portfolio. Under the terms of the settlement, PIMCO agreed to pay to the SEC a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $6.5 million. Prior to the SEC’s investigation, PIMCO had updated the disclosures in PGP’s 2016 annual shareholder report.

On June 16, 2023, PIMCO entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC relating to an error in the fee waiver calculation used by PIMCO’s third-party vendor that caused certain advisory fees to be under-waived from April 2011 to November 2017 and charged to PIMCO All Asset All Authority Fund (“A4”). Under the terms of the settlement, PIMCO agreed to pay to the SEC a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $2.5 million. Prior to the SEC’s investigation, PIMCO had identified the error, publicly disclosed the issue and implemented a plan that reimbursed A4 and its shareholders for any losses associated with the fee waiver miscalculation. In addition, PIMCO has enhanced its policies and procedures relating to its oversight of the third-party vendor’s advisory fee calculations.

Neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the persons listed in Schedule A has, during the last five years, been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in his, her or its being subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The information contained in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

(a) and (b)

Items 7-13 (inclusive of the footnote thereto) of the cover page of this Amendment No. 4 are incorporated herein by reference.

(c)

There have been no transactions with respect to the Common Stock during the sixty days prior to the date of this Amendment No. 4 by the Reporting Person or, to its knowledge, by any executive officer or director of the Reporting Person.
