Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 14, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on December 10, 2015 (the “Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Persons named therein. Unless set forth below, all previous Items set forth in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D, as amended to the date hereof.

This Amendment is being filed to report the adoption of a plan or proposal which could result in the disposition of securities of the Issuer currently held by the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:

On March 15, 2017, iHeartCommunications announced the commencement of the Exchange Offers (as defined below). The Exchange Offers contemplate transactions which could result in the disposition of the securities of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons or could result in certain other events described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item.

Overview of Exchange Offers

On March 15, 2017, iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications and CC Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCO Holdings”) commenced a series of exchange offers (the “Notes Exchange Offers”) to exchange certain of the outstanding notes of iHeartCommunications (the “Existing Notes”) for newly-issued securities of iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications and CCO Holdings. Concurrently with the launch of the Notes Exchange Offers, iHeartCommunications commenced private offers (the “Term Loan Offers”) to eligible lenders under iHeartCommunications’ Term Loan D and Term Loan E facilities (the “Existing Term Loans”) to (depending on the scenario) amend or exchange the Existing Loans for new securities of iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications, CCO Holdings and Broader Media. Together, the Notes Exchange Offers and the Term Loan Offers are referred to herein as the “Exchange Offers.” CCO Holdings is a newly-formed entity that will hold an approximate 89.9% equity interest in the Issuer if the Exchange Offers meet the High Participation Threshold (as defined below).

The type and amount of securities that are issued at the closing of the Exchange Offers will depend on the participation level in the Notes Exchange Offers and the Term Loan Offers.

If the Exchange Offers close into the High Participation Scenario (as defined below), all of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons will be disposed of in a series of transactions resulting in the separation of the Issuer from iHeartMedia. The High Participation Scenario contemplates, among other things, a series of transactions in which all of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock currently held by the Reporting Persons will be contributed to CCO Holdings, and CCO Holdings will subsequently become an independent company through the transfer by iHeartCommunications of CCO Holdings Class B common stock to the debt holders participating in the Exchange Offers, the distribution by iHeartCommunications of CCO Holdings’ Class A common stock to iHeartMedia and the subsequent distribution by iHeartMedia of CCO Holdings Class A common stock to the holders of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock. Prior to the completion of such transactions, the Reporting Persons anticipate that all of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock currently held by them would be converted into the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation.

The separation of the Issuer from iHeartMedia will not occur at closing in any of the Mid Participation Scenario, the Low Participation Scenario or the Term Loans Only Scenario (each as defined below). If the transactions close into the Mid Participation Scenario or the Low Participation Scenario, iHeartMedia may seek to consummate a transaction similar to the contemplated separation of the Issuer from iHeartMedia in the future. Any such transaction would be subject to the condition that iHeartCommunications makes a repurchase offer to the holders of new iHeartCommunications notes issued in the Mid Participation Scenario or the Low Participation Scenario. If the transactions close into the Mid Participation Scenario, the Low Participation Scenario or the Term Loans Only Scenario, Broader Media will issue contingent value rights (“CVRs”) to the participating lenders of the Existing Term Loans. The CVRs will provide credit support to the holders of such CVRs, and the obligations of Broader Media under such CVRs will be secured by the Issuer’s Common Stock held by Broader Media. If the Exchange Offers close into the High Participation Scenario, the CVRs will be terminated prior to such closing.

The Notes Exchange Offers are being made pursuant to an offering circular and consent solicitation statement (the “Offering Circular”) dated March 15, 2017, and are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

CUSIP No. 18451C109

 

High Participation Scenario; Spin-Off of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock

The “High Participation Scenario” refers to the transactions which will occur pursuant to the Exchange Offers if the level of participation by all holders of Existing Notes in the Notes Exchange Offers and the level of participation by eligible lenders under the Existing Term Loans in the Term Loan Offers together generate sufficient reductions in the aggregate principal amount of iHeartCommunications’ indebtedness, sufficient reductions in iHeartCommunications’ cash interest payment obligations under that indebtedness, and sufficient extensions to the maturities of that indebtedness to enable iHeartMedia’s board of directors, in its sole judgment, to determine that there are no legal restrictions on its ability to declare the dividend of shares of the Issuer to effect the separation of iHeartMedia from the Issuer through the Spin-Off (as defined below) (the “High Participation Threshold”), and certain conditions to the Exchange Offers are satisfied.

In the High Participation Scenario, debt holders participating in the Notes Exchange Offers will exchange their Existing Notes for new iHeartCommunications debt, warrants to purchase iHeartMedia Class D Common Stock (“Warrants”) and shares of CCO Holdings Class B Common Stock, and participating lenders in the Term Loan Exchange Offers will exchange their Existing Term Loans for new iHeartMedia term loans, Warrants and shares of CCO Holdings Class B Common Stock. At the time of the closing of the Exchange Offers, CCO Holdings will own all of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock currently held by the Reporting Persons, which, as of the date of this Amendment, represents approximately 89.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Issuer. Prior to the completion of such transactions, the Reporting Persons anticipate that all of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock currently held by them would be converted into the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation.

In the High Participation Scenario, iHeartMedia intends to complete a separation of the Issuer from iHeartMedia. This separation will occur in two steps.

The first step of the separation is a series of transactions intended to reorganize iHeartMedia’s equity interests in the Issuer under the ownership of CCO Holdings, as a new holding company the equity of which can be distributed in the Exchange Offers and Spin-Off (as defined below). First, iHeartCommunications will cause the distribution of all of the 10,726,917 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and the 315,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock held by iHeartMedia’s subsidiaries (including CC Finco and Broader Media) to iHeartCommunications (the “First Internal Distribution”) and then contribute such shares to CCO Holdings (the “Contribution”) in exchange for all of CCO Holdings’ Class A common stock and Class B Common Stock. Upon completion of the Contribution, CCO Holdings will hold all of the Issuer’s common stock currently held by the reporting persons. In connection with the consummation of the Exchange Offers, iHeartCommunications will transfer all of CCO Holdings’ Class B Common Stock to the debt holders of iHeartCommunications participating in the Exchange Offers, and CCO Holdings’ Class A common stock will be distributed by iHeartCommunications to Capital I and further distributed until owned directly by iHeartMedia (the “Second Internal Distribution”), making CCO Holdings a direct non-wholly owned subsidiary of iHeartMedia and no longer consolidated with iHeartCommunications.

If, following the Expiration Time (as defined in the Offering Circular), iHeartCommunications expects that the High Participation Threshold will be achieved and the conditions to the High Participation Scenario will be satisfied, it expects that, subject to CCOH maintaining a minimum working capital threshold following the Reorganization Transactions, the Issuer will declare a conditional dividend (the “Conditional Dividend”) in an amount necessary to permit the repayment in full of the Issuer’s intercompany note due from iHeartCommunications at the closing of the Exchange Offers. The First Internal Distribution, the Contribution, the Second Internal Distribution and the Conditional Dividend are collectively referred to herein as the “Reorganization Transactions.”

The second step of the separation would be a distribution by iHeartMedia of all of the outstanding shares of CCO Holdings’ Class A common stock to the holders of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock on a pro rata basis (the “Spin-Off”). Holders of Warrants or of the underlying iHM Class D Common Stock will have no right to participate in the Spin-Off. The Spin-Off will occur upon the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed with the Commission by CCO Holdings relating to the Spin-Off, which is anticipated to occur after the closing of the Exchange Offers. Following the Spin-Off, iHeartMedia will not own any equity interest in CCO Holdings, and CCO Holdings would operate independently from iHeartMedia, other than with respect to certain transition services.

If the Exchange Offers close into the High Participation Scenario, the Reporting Persons will cease to own any of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, and CCO Holdings will own all of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock currently held by the Reporting Persons and all of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock currently held by the Reporting Persons. Neither the Reorganization Transactions nor the Spin-Off will occur at closing in the Mid Participation Scenario, the Low Participation Scenario or the Term Loans Only Scenario. If the transactions close into the Mid Participation Scenario or the Low Participation Scenario, iHeartMedia may seek to consummate a transaction similar to the Reorganization Transactions and the Spin-Off in the future. Any such transaction would be subject to the condition that iHeartCommunications makes a repurchase offer to the holders of new iHeartCommunications notes issued in the Mid Participation Scenario or the Low Participation Scenario.

CUSIP No. 18451C109

 

Mid Participation Scenario, Low Participation Scenario or Term Loans Only Scenario; CVRs based on underlying value of Class B Common Stock held by Broader Media

The “Mid Participation Scenario” refers to the transactions which will occur pursuant to the Exchange Offers if the High Participation Threshold is not achieved but the level of participation by holders of Existing Notes in the Notes Exchange Offers and by eligible lenders of Existing Term Loans in the Term Loan Offers exceeds 50% of the aggregate amount of outstanding indebtedness under the Existing Term Loans and each series of Existing Notes (excluding those owned by iHeartCommunications or any of its affiliates) and exceeds 65% of the aggregate amount of outstanding indebtedness across the Existing Term Loans and the Existing Notes (including those owned by affiliates of iHeartCommunications but not those owned by iHeartCommunications’ subsidiaries) (the “Mid Participation Threshold”), and certain conditions to the Exchange Offers are satisfied.

The “Low Participation Scenario” refers to the transactions which will occur pursuant to the Exchange Offers if neither the High Participation Threshold nor the Mid Participation Threshold is achieved but the aggregate level of participation by holders of Existing Notes in the Notes Exchange Offers and by eligible lenders of Existing Term Loans in the Term Loan Offers exceeds 50% of the aggregate amount of outstanding indebtedness under the Existing Term Loans and each series of Existing Notes (excluding those owned by iHeartCommunications or any of its affiliates) and certain conditions to the Exchange Offers are satisfied.

In either the Mid Participation Scenario or the Low Participation Scenario, participating lenders in the Term Loan Exchange Offers will receive new iHeartCommunications debt and CVRs.

If neither the Mid Participation Scenario nor the Low Participation Scenario occurs, lenders who participate in the Term Loan Offers will receive CVRs in exchange for their consent to certain amendments to the Existing Term Loans upon closing of the Term Loan Offers (the “Term Loans Only Scenario”).

In the event that the Low Participation Threshold is not achieved, lenders who consent to the proposed amendment to iHeartCommunications’ senior secured credit facilities to effect the Term Loan Offers (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) will receive, upon closing of the Term Loan Offers and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Term Loan Offers documents, Existing Term Loans with a six-month maturity extension and the benefit of a prepayment premium and a premium payable in the event that the Existing Term Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date following an event of default. If the level of participation in the Term Loan Offers exceeds 50% of the aggregate amount of outstanding indebtedness under the Existing Term Loans, all of the Existing Term Loans will be amended to no longer require the absence of a going concern qualification in the delivery of any audited financials.

In addition, in exchange for their consent to the Credit Agreement Amendment, Broader Media is offering to lenders of Existing Term Loans CVRs giving participating lenders credit support from the value of 100,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer currently held by Broader Media and, in the event that greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of outstanding indebtedness under the Existing Term Loans participates in the Term Loan Offers and the Credit Agreement Amendment becomes effective, approximately 30,000,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Issuer to be contributed to Broader Media by CC Finco and CC Holdings prior to the closing of the Term Loan Offers. Broader Media will, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Term Loan Offers documents upon closing of the Term Loan Offers, issue CVRs to participating lenders of Existing Term Loans whether or not the Exchange Offers close and whether or not the Credit Agreement Amendment becomes effective but will cancel them if the Exchange Offers and Term Loan Offers close in the High Participation Scenario. The holders of Existing Term Loans that are affiliates of iHeartCommunications have informed iHeartCommunications that they intend to participate in the Term Loan Offers with respect to all of their Existing Term Loans.

Each CVR will entitle the holder thereof to transfer $1,000 principal amount of Existing Term Loans or New Term Loans, as applicable, to Broader Media for consideration in cash equal to 120% of the principal amount of such indebtedness plus accrued interest, in the event holders of indebtedness of iHeartCommunications in excess of $100 million cause such indebtedness to be accelerated and become due prior to its stated final maturity or certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to iHeartCommunications occur.

The CVR credit support is expected to include all rights of Broader Media to receive dividends or other payments on the common stock as well as all proceeds, products and supporting obligations with respect to any of the foregoing (other than dividends relating to the payment of the Issuer intercompany note due from iHeartCommunications). However, before the occurrence of a triggering put event, Broader Media will be entitled to retain all cash dividends, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the common stock. It is expected that the liens on the Issuer’s common stock held by Broader Media created by virtue of the issuance of the CVRs could be automatically released in whole with the consent

---

		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 12 of 13
CUSIP No. 18451C109

 

of CVR holders of 90% in principal amount of the CVRs then outstanding. The agreement governing the CVRs is expected to limit Broader Media’s ability to incur indebtedness; incur liens on any shares of the Issuer’s held by Broader Media; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Issuer’s common stock held by Broader Media; and make certain investments and payments.

The CVRs will terminate if the Exchange Offers and Term Loan Offers close in the High Participation Scenario. If the Exchange Offers and Term Loan Offers close in the Mid Participation Scenario or Low Participation Scenario, the CVRs may be terminated if iHeartCommunications makes an offer to repurchase the indebtedness covered by the CVRs to consummate a transaction similar to the Reorganization Transactions and the Spin-Off. There can be no assurance that any payment will be made under the CVRs, or regarding the amount or timing of any such payment. Any amounts to be received in connection with the CVRs, and the timing of any payments of any such amounts, are contingent upon the occurrence of certain events which may or may not occur.

Following the consummation of the Exchange Offers in the Mid Participation Scenario, the Low Participation Scenario or the Term Loans Only Scenario, iHeartCommunications and Broader Media would continue to own the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock currently held by the Reporting Persons.

Prior Transactions

From the time of the IPO until December 3, 2015, CC Holdings owned all 315,000,000 shares of outstanding Class B Common Stock, and held those shares for investment purposes. On December 3, 2015, CC Holdings contributed 100,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Broader Media as an additional contribution to its capital account in Broader Media, in connection with an investment that was intended to benefit iHeartCommunications and all of its subsidiaries (including CC Holdings) by facilitating future financing transactions. If the High Participation Scenario of the Exchange Offers does not occur, the Reporting Persons may engage in other transactions in the future. These future transactions will depend on various factors, including the prices of the securities of the Issuer, the availability and cost of financing, conditions in the capital markets and the financial considerations of the Reporting Persons, and may include, among other things, transferring shares of the Issuer among the Reporting Persons or to other affiliates of the Reporting Persons, engaging in financing, lending, pledging or similar transactions involving the shares of the Issuer and/or otherwise changing the Reporting Persons’ intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

From August 2011 through April 2015, CC Finco acquired 10,726,917 shares of Class A Common Stock for investment purposes. If the High Participation Scenario of the Exchange Offers does not occur, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Class A Common Stock and other securities of the Issuer or transfer additional shares of Class B Common Stock from time to time for investment purposes or otherwise, or may dispose of any or all of such shares or other securities held by them at any time. The Reporting Persons intend to evaluate on an ongoing basis their investment in the Issuer.

No Other Current Plans or Proposals; Future Plans or Proposals

Other than the above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the events described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item.

The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their purpose and to formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer at any time and from time to time, including, but not limited to, plans to acquire all of the outstanding Class A Common Stock not currently owned by the Reporting Persons, despite the fact that the debt agreements to which iHeartCommunications and CC Holdings are currently subject do not generally permit them to do so, or plans to amend those agreements with the ultimate purpose or effect of enabling them to do so or to participate in such a transaction in a manner that would be permitted by those agreements. Any such action may be made by the Reporting Persons alone or in conjunction with other shareholders, potential acquirers, financing sources and/or other third parties and could include one or more purposes, plans or proposals that relate to or would result in actions required to be reported herein in accordance with Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
