IHEARTMEDIA, INC. (OTCMKTS:IHRT) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February9, 2017, iHeartMedia, Inc. (the Company) and Clear
Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (CCOH), its indirect subsidiary,
entered into a Binding Option and Letter of Intent (the Letter of
Intent), related to the potential sale of certain intellectual
property owned by the Company or its affiliates to CCOH.

The Letter of Intent grants CCOH a binding option (the Option) to
purchase the registered trademarks and domain names owned by the
Company and its subsidiaries that incorporate one or more of the
words Clear and/or Channel, and any translations or derivations
of any of the foregoing, together with any goodwill associated
therewith (the CCOH IP and such purchase, the CCOH IP Purchase).

The Option is exercisable in the CCOHs sole and absolute
discretion at any time between the first and second anniversaries
of the payment of the dividend described in Item 8.01 below. The
exercise price of the Option will be a purchase price equal to
the fair market value of the CCOH IP, as determined by an
independent appraisal or investment banking firm or consultant
mutually agreed and selected by the Company and CCOH.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Intent provides that
CCOH will pay the royalty fee due to IHM Identity, Inc. in
respect of the year ended December31, 2017 to the Amended and
Restated License Agreement, dated November10, 2005, by and

a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.17 to CCOHs Form 10-K for
the year ended December31, 2014. From the date of the Letter of

using commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the CCOH IP.
