Clear Channel Worldwide intends to use the proceeds from the Notes to redeem all of its outstanding 7.625% Series A and Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 and satisfy and discharge the indenture governing such notes and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering and the redemption. As previously announced, on February 4, 2019, Clear Channel Worldwide delivered a conditional notice of redemption, calling such notes for payment on March 6, 2019. The redemption is conditioned on the closing of this offering and the notice thereof may be rescinded or amended if necessary.
