Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 4, 2016, iHeartCommunications, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the successful completion of its previously announced consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to holders of its outstanding Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) to a certain proposed amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”) to increase the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (as defined in the Indenture) permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1) by $500,000,000 to $17,270,638,000.

Holders of $1,410,114,917 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, representing a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes (excluding any Notes held by the Company or its affiliates), consented to the Proposed Amendment. In conjunction with receiving the requisite consents, the Company and the Trustee executed a fourth supplemental indenture to the Indenture to effect the Proposed Amendment on October 3, 2016.

The Company will pay an aggregate cash payment of $8.6 million (the “Consent Fee”) to consenting holders, to be paid pro rata to such consenting holders in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of Notes for which consents were validly delivered (and not validly revoked) in accordance with the conditions of the Consent Solicitation (“Validly Delivered”). Based on the consents received, the Consent Fee will be approximately $6.10 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes for which consents were Validly Delivered.

The description of the fourth supplemental indenture contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the fourth supplemental indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
