Item 8.01 Other Events

Tender Offer

On November 2, 2012, CCOH announced that its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (“Clear Channel Worldwide”) is commencing a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) with respect to all of its $500.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Series A Senior Notes due 2017 (the "Series A Existing Notes") and $2.0 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Series B Senior Notes due 2017 (the "Series B Existing Notes" and, together with the Series A Existing Notes, the "Existing Notes").

A copy of the press release announcing the tender offer is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Private Offering

In addition, on November 2, 2012, CCOH announced that Clear Channel Worldwide issued a press release pursuant to Rule 135c promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), announcing that Clear Channel Worldwide will offer, subject to market and customary conditions, $735,750,000 aggregate principal amount of Series A Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Series A Notes”) and $1,989,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes due 2022 (the “Series B Notes” and, together with the Series A Notes, the “Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Clear Channel Worldwide intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to pay the consideration in the Tender Offer, and to pay related fees and expenses. Clear Channel Worldwide currently intends to call for redemption on the closing date of the offering any Existing Notes that have not been tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and use the remaining net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand, to satisfy its obligations thereunder.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This current report on Form 8-K is not a notice of redemption and is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

A copy of the press release announcing the private offering of the Notes is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4 and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the closing of the offering of the Notes, CCU intends to prepay $225 million of outstanding class A term loans under its cash flow credit facilities, or such other amount as will be necessary in order to remain in compliance with its debt covenants, using cash on hand at or prior to closing.
