Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. has announced a proposed private offering of senior secured notes due 2030, totaling $865,000,000. The company intends to use the proceeds to prepay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its existing senior secured term loan facility and to pay related transaction fees and expenses.
This offering is part of a refinancing transaction, which includes an amendment to the existing senior secured credit facilities, expected to extend the maturity of the company’s term loan B facility from 2026 to 2028, among other amendments. The company expects to close this transaction concurrently with the offering of the notes.
The notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and will be secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions, on a first-priority basis by security interests in all of the company’s and the guarantors’ assets.
The company has not made available a live audio webcast or a replay of its presentation at the J.P. Morgan’s 2024 Global High Yield & Leveraged Finance Conference, due to the offering of the notes.
