CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR HOLDINGS, INC. (NYSE:CCO) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Item 2.02
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing the attached Exhibit 99.1 to disclose selected estimated preliminary financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and certain other information. This information is included in the preliminary prospectus supplement for the Offering described below.
On July 22, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had commenced a public offering of its common stock (the “Offering”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem approximately $406 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the “CCWH Notes”) of Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, on August 22, 2019. The amount of the CCWH Notes expected to be redeemed is based on the expected size of the Offering. The redemption is conditioned on the closing of the Offering and the receipt by the Company of proceeds from the Offering in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price. The conditional notice of redemption to be delivered to holders of the CCWH Notes may be rescinded or amended if necessary. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the conditional notice of redemption to be delivered to the indenture that governs the CCWH Notes. If the underwriters for the Offering exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, the Company intends to use the net proceeds to redeem an additional approximately $41 million of CCWH Notes and approximately $20 million of the 8.75% Senior Notes due 2020 of Clear Channel International B.V., a subsidiary of the Company.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
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, including Exhibit 99.1, 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.
