On February 21, 2013, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release made pursuant to Rule 135c promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), announcing that it intends, subject to market and customary conditions, to offer $500 million in aggregate principal amount of priority guarantee notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from this offering, together with borrowings under its receivables based credit facility and cash on hand, to prepay all $846.9 million of the loans outstanding under its term loan A facility and to pay related fees and expenses.

This current report on Form 8-K 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.
