OVERVIEW
We are the largest outdoor media and the largest radio company in the world, with leading
market positions in each of our operating segments: Americas Outdoor Advertising, International
Outdoor Advertising and Radio Broadcasting.
Americas Outdoor Advertising.
We are the largest outdoor media company in the
Americas, which includes the United States, Canada and Latin America. We own or operate
approximately 209,000 displays in our Americas Outdoor Advertising segment. Our outdoor
assets consist of billboards, street furniture and transit displays, airport displays,
mall displays, and wallscapes and other spectaculars which we believe are in premier real
estate locations in each of our markets throughout the Americas. We have operations in 49
of the top 50 markets in the United States, including all of the top 20 markets. For the
last twelve months ended March 31, 2008, Americas Outdoor Advertising represented 21% of
our net revenue and 27% of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA.
International Outdoor Advertising.
We are a leading outdoor media company
internationally with operations in Asia, Australia and Europe. We own or operate
approximately 688,000 displays in 34 countries, including key positions in attractive
international growth markets. Our international outdoor assets consist of billboards,
street furniture displays, transit displays and other out-of-home advertising displays.
For the last twelve months ended March 31, 2008, International Outdoor Advertising
represented 26% of our net revenue and 14% of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA.
Radio Broadcasting.
We are the largest radio broadcaster in the United States. As of
December 31, 2007, we owned 890 domestic radio stations, with 275 stations operating in
the top 50 markets. Our portfolio of stations
offers a broad assortment of programming formats, including adult contemporary, country,
contemporary hit radio, rock, urban and oldies, among others, to a total weekly listening
base of approximately 103 million individuals. In addition, we owned 115 smaller market non-core radio stations, of
which 63 were sold subsequent to December 31, 2007, and 32 of which were subject to sale
under definitive asset purchase agreements at March 31, 2008. We also operate a national radio network
that produces, distributes, or represents more than 70 syndicated radio programs and
services for more than 5,000 radio stations. Some of our more popular syndicated programs
include
Rush Limbaugh
,
Steve Harvey, Ryan Seacrest
and
Jeff Foxworthy
. We also own various
sports, news and agriculture networks as well as equity interests in various international
radio broadcasting companies located in Australia,
Mexico and New Zealand. For the last twelve months ended March 31, 2008, Radio
Broadcasting represented 50% of our net revenue and 58% of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA.
Other.
The other (Other) category includes our media representation business,
Katz Media Group, Inc. (Katz Media), and general support services and initiatives which
are ancillary to our other businesses. Katz Media is a full-service media representation
firm that sells national spot advertising time for clients in the radio and television
industries throughout the United States. Katz Media represents over 3,200 radio stations
and 380 television stations. For the last twelve months ended March 31, 2008, the Other
category represented 3% of our net revenue and 1% of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA.
For the last twelve months ended March 31, 2008, we generated consolidated net revenues of
$6,980 million and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $2,302 million.
Our Strengths
Global Scale and Local Market Leadership.
We are the largest outdoor media and the largest
radio company in the world. We believe we have unmatched asset quality in both businesses. We
operate over 897,000 outdoor advertising displays worldwide, in what we believe are premier real
estate locations. We own 890 radio stations in the top United States markets with strong signals
and brand names. Our real estate locations, signals and brands provide a distinct local competitive
advantage. Our global scale enables productive and cost-effective investment across our portfolio,
which support our strong competitive position.
Our outdoor advertising business is focused on urban markets with dense populations.
Our real estate locations in these urban markets provide outstanding reach and therefore a
compelling value proposition for our advertisers, enabling us to achieve more attractive
economics. In the United States, we believe we hold the #1 market share in eight of the
top 10 markets and are either #1 or #2 in 18 of the top 20 markets. Internationally, we
believe we hold leading positions in France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, as well
as several attractive growth countries, including Australia and China.
Our scale has enabled cost-effective investment in new display technologies, such as
digital billboards, which we believe will continue to support future growth. This
technology will enable us to transition from selling space on a display to a single
advertiser to selling time on that display to multiple advertisers, creating new revenue
opportunities from both new and existing clients. We have enjoyed significantly higher
revenue per digital billboard than the revenue per vinyl billboard with relatively minimal
capital costs.
We own the #1 or #2 ranked radio station clusters in eight of the top 10 markets and
in 18 of the top 25 markets in the United States. We have an average market share of 26%
in the top 25 markets. With a total weekly listening base of approximately 103 million
individuals, our portfolio of 890 stations generated twice the revenue as the next largest
competitor in 2007. With over 5,000 sales people in local markets, we believe the
aggregation of our local sales forces comprises the media industrys largest local-based
sales force with national scope. Our national scope has facilitated cost-effective
investment in unique yield management and pricing systems that enable our local
salespeople to maximize revenue. Additionally, our scale has allowed us to implement
industry-changing initiatives that we believe differentiate us from the rest of the radio
industry and position us to outperform other radio broadcasters.
Strong Collection of Unique Assets.
Through acquisitions and organic growth, we have
aggregated a unique portfolio of assets.
The domestic outdoor industry is regulated by the federal government as well as state
and municipal governments. Statutes and regulations govern the construction, repair,
maintenance, lighting, spacing, location, replacement and content of outdoor advertising
structures. Due to such regulation, it has become increasingly difficult to construct new
outdoor advertising structures. Further, for many of our existing billboards, a permit for
replacement cannot be sought by our competitors or landlords. As a result, our existing
billboards in top demographic areas, which we believe are in premier locations, have
significant value.
Ownership and operation of radio broadcast stations is governed by the Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC) licensing process, which limits the number of radio
licenses available in any market. Any party seeking to acquire or transfer radio licenses
must go through a detailed review process with the FCC. Over several decades, we have
aggregated multiple licenses in local market clusters across the United States. A cluster
of multiple radio stations in a market allows us to provide listeners with more diverse
programming and advertisers with a more efficient means to reach those listeners. In
addition, we are also able to operate our market clusters efficiently by eliminating
duplicative operating expenses and realizing economies of scale.
Attractive Out-of-home Industry Fundamentals.
Both outdoor advertising and radio
broadcasting offer compelling value propositions to advertisers, unparalleled reach and valuable
out-of-home positions.
Compelling Value Propositions.
Outdoor media and radio broadcasting offer
compelling value propositions to advertisers by providing the #1 and #2 most
cost-effective media advertising outlets, respectively, as measured by cost per thousand
persons reached (CPM). According to the Radio Advertising Bureau, radio advertisings
return on investment is 49% higher than that of television advertising. With low CPMs, we
believe outdoor media and radio broadcasting have opportunity for growth even in
relatively softer advertising environments.
Unparalleled Audience Reach
. According to Arbitron, 98% of Americans travel in a
car each month, with an average of 310 miles traveled per week. The captive in-car
audience is protected from media fragmentation and is subject to increasing out-of-home
advertiser exposures as time and distance of commutes increase. Additionally, radio
programming reaches 93% of all United States consumers in a given week, with the average
consumer listening for almost three hours per day. On a weekly basis, this represents
nearly 233 million unique listeners.
Valuable Out-of-home Position.
Both outdoor media and radio broadcasting reach
potential consumers outside of the home, a valuable position as it is closer to the
purchase decision. Today, consumers spend a significant portion of their day out-of-home,
while out-of-home media (outdoor and radio) garner a disproportionately smaller share of
media spending than in-home media. We believe this discrepancy represents an opportunity
for growth.
Consistent, Defensible Growth Profile.
Both outdoor advertising and radio in the United
States have demonstrated consistent growth over the last 40 years and are resilient in economic
downturns.
United States outdoor advertising revenue has grown to approximately $7 billion in
2007, representing a 9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) since 1970. Growth has come
via traditional billboards along highways and major roadways, as well as alternative
advertising including transit displays, street furniture and mall displays. The outdoor
industry has experienced only two negative growth years between 1970 and 2007.
Additionally, the growth rate in the two years following an economic recession has
averaged 8%. Outdoor media continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of
advertising. According to the eMarketer industry forecast, total outdoor advertising is
expected to grow at an 8% CAGR from 2007 to 2011, driven by an increased share of media
spending due to the high value proposition of outdoor relative to other media and the
rollout of digital billboards.
United States radio advertising revenue has grown to approximately $19 billion in
2007, representing an 8% CAGR since 1970. Radio broadcasting has been one of the most
resilient forms of advertising, weathering several competitive and technological
advancements over time, including the introduction of television, audio cassettes, CDs and
other portable audio devices, and remaining an important component of local advertiser
marketing budgets. The radio industry has experienced only three negative growth years
from 1970 through 2007. Historically, the growth rate in the two years following an
economic recession has averaged 9%. While revenue in the radio industry (according to the
Radio Advertising Bureau) declined during 2007 and the first three months of 2008, the
eMarketer industry forecast expects radio broadcast advertising to grow at a stable 3%
CAGR from 2007 to 2011. We expect growth to be driven by increased advertising, due to a
captive audience spending more time in their cars and the adoption of new technologies
such as high definition (HD) radio.
Strong Cash Flow Generation.
We have strong operating margins, driven by our significant
scale and leading market share in both outdoor advertising and radio broadcasting. In addition,
both outdoor media and radio broadcasting are low capital intensity businesses. For the twelve
months ended March 31, 2008, our capital expenditures were only 6% of net revenue with maintenance
capital expenditures comprising only 3% of net revenue. The change in net working capital from
2006 to 2007 was approximately 0.08% of net revenue. As a result of our high margins and low capital
requirements, we have been able to convert a significant portion of our revenue into cash flow. By continuing to
grow our business while maintaining costs, we expect to further improve our cash flow generation.
Individual, Saleable Assets with High Value.
Our business is comprised of numerous
individual operating units, independently successful in local markets throughout the United States
and the rest of the world. This creates tremendous asset value, with outdoor media and radio
broadcasting businesses that are saleable at attractive multiples. Furthermore, at March 31, 2008,
we have a capital loss carryforward of approximately $809 million that can be used to offset
capital gains recognized on asset sales over the next three years.
Business Diversity Provides Stability.
Currently, approximately half of our revenue is
generated from our Americas Outdoor Advertising and our International Outdoor Advertising segments,
with the remaining half comprised of our Radio Broadcasting segment, as well as other support
services and initiatives. We offer advertisers a diverse platform of media assets across
geographies, outdoor products and radio programming formats. Further, we enjoy substantial
diversity in our outdoor business, with no market and no ad category greater than 8% of our 2007
outdoor revenue. We also enjoy substantial diversity in our radio business, with no market greater
than 9%, no format greater than 18%, and no ad category greater than 19% of our 2007 radio revenue.
Through our multiple business units, we are able to reduce revenue volatility resulting from
softness in any one advertising category or geographic market.
Experienced Management Team and Entrepreneurial Culture.
We have an experienced management
team from our senior executives to our local market managers. Our executive officers and certain
radio and outdoor senior managers possess an average of 20 years of industry experience, and have
combined experience of over 220 years. The core of the executive management team includes Chief
Executive Officer Mark P. Mays, who has been with the Company for over 19 years, and President and
Chief Financial Officer Randall T. Mays, who has been with the Company for over 15 years. We also
maintain an entrepreneurial culture empowering local market managers to operate their markets as
separate profit centers, subject to centralized oversight. A portion of our managers compensation
is dependent upon the financial success of their individual market. Our managers also have full
access to our centralized resources, including sales training, research tools, shared best
practices, global procurement and financial and legal support. Our culture and our centralization
allow our local managers to maximize cash flow.
Our Strategy
Our goal is to strengthen our position as a leading global media company specializing in
out-of-home advertising and to maximize cash flow. We plan to achieve this objective by
capitalizing on our competitive strengths and pursuing the following strategies:
Outdoor
We seek to capitalize on our global outdoor network and diversified product mix to maximize
revenue and cash flow. In addition, by sharing best practices among our business segments, we
believe we can quickly and effectively replicate our successes throughout the markets in which we
operate. Our diversified product mix and long-standing presence in many of our existing markets
provide us with the platform to launch new products and test new initiatives in a reliable and
cost-effective manner.
Drive Outdoor Media Spending.
Outdoor advertising only represented 2.4% of total dollars
spent on advertising in the United States in 2007. Given the attractive industry fundamentals of
outdoor media and our depth and breadth of relationships with both local and national advertisers,
we believe we can drive outdoor advertisings share of total media spending by highlighting the
value of outdoor advertising relative to other media. We have made and continue to make significant
investments in research tools that enable our clients to better understand how our displays can
successfully reach their target audiences and promote their advertising campaigns. Also, we are
working closely with clients, advertising agencies and other diversified media companies to develop
more sophisticated systems that will provide improved demographic measurements of outdoor
advertising. We believe that these measurement systems will further enhance the attractiveness of
outdoor advertising for both existing clients and new advertisers and further foster outdoor media
spending growth. According to the eMarketer industry forecast, outdoor advertisings share of total
advertising spending will grow by approximately 34% from 2007 to 2011.
Increase Our Share of Outdoor Media Spending.
Domestically, we own and operate billboards
on real estate in the highest trafficked areas of top marketsa compelling advertising opportunity
for both local and national businesses. Internationally, we own and operate a variety of outdoor
displays on real estate in large urban areas. We intend to continue to work toward ensuring that
our customers have a superior experience by leveraging our unparalleled presence and our
best-in-class sales force, and by increasing our focus on customer satisfaction and improved
measurement systems. We believe our commitment to superior customer service, highlighted by our
unique Proof of Performance system, and our superior products led to over 12,000 new advertisers
in 2007. We have generated growth in many categories, including telecom, automotive and retail.
Roll Out Digital Billboards.
Advances in electronic displays, including flat screens, LCDs
and LEDs, allow us to provide these technologies as complements to traditional methods of outdoor
advertising. These electronic displays may be linked through centralized computer systems to
instantaneously and simultaneously change static advertisements on a large number of displays.
Digital outdoor advertising provides numerous advantages to advertisers, including the
unprecedented flexibility to change messaging over the course of a day, the ability to quickly
change messaging and the ability to enhance targeting by reaching different demographics at
different times of day. Digital outdoor displays provide us with advantages, as they are
operationally efficient and eliminate safety issues from manual copy changes. Additionally, digital
outdoor displays have, at times, enhanced our relationship with regulators, as in certain
circumstances we have offered emergency messaging services and public service announcements on our
digital boards. We recently began converting a limited number of vinyl boards to networked digital
boards. We have enjoyed significantly higher revenue per digital billboard than the revenue per
vinyl billboard with relatively minimal capital costs. We believe that the costs of digital
upgrades will decrease over time as technologies improve and more digital boards come to market.
Radio
Our radio broadcasting strategy centers on providing programming and services to the local
communities in which we operate and being a contributing member of those communities. We believe
that by serving the needs of local communities, we will be able to grow listenership and deliver
target audiences to advertisers, thereby growing revenue and cash flow. Our radio broadcasting
strategy also entails improving the ongoing operations of our stations through effective
programming, promotion, marketing, sales and careful management of costs and expanded distribution
of content.
Drive Local and National Advertising.
We intend to drive growth in our radio business via a
strong focus on yield management, increased sales force effectiveness and expansion of our sales
channels. In late 2004, we implemented what we believe are industry-leading price and yield
optimization systems and invested in new information systems, which provide station level inventory
yield and pricing information previously unavailable in the industry. We shifted our sales force
compensation plan from a straight volume-based commission percentages system to a value-based
system to reward success in optimizing price and inventory. We believe that utilization of our
unique systems throughout our distribution and sales platform will drive continued revenue growth
in excess of market radio revenue growth. We also intend to focus on driving advertisers to our
radio stations through new sales channels and partnerships. For example, we recently formed an
alliance with Google whereby we have gained access to an entirely new group of advertisers within a
new and complementary sales channel.
Continue to Capitalize on Less is More.
In late 2004, we launched the Less is More
initiative to position the Company for long-term radio growth. The implementation of the Less is
More initiative reduced advertising clutter, enhanced listener experience and improved radios
attractiveness as a medium for advertisers. On average, we reduced ad inventory by 20% and
promotion time by 50%, which has led to more time for listeners to enjoy our compelling content. In
addition, we changed our available advertising spots from 60 second ads to a combination of 60, 30,
15 and five second ads in order to give advertisers more flexibility. As anticipated, our reduction
in ad inventory led to a decline in Radio Broadcasting revenue in 2005. Revenue growth of 6%
followed in 2006, outperforming an index of other radio broadcasters. We continued to outperform
the radio industry in 2007. Our Less is More strategy has separated us from our competitors and we
believe it positions us to continue to outperform the radio industry.
Continue to Enhance the Radio Listener Experience.
We will continue to focus on enhancing
the radio listener experience by offering a wide variety of compelling content. Our investments in
radio programming over time have created a collection of leading on-air talent and our Premiere
Radio Network offers over 70 syndicated radio programs and services for more than 5,000 radio
stations across the United States. Our distribution platform allows us to attract top talent and
more
effectively utilize programming, sharing the best and most compelling content across many
stations. Finally, we are continually expanding content choices for our listeners, including utilization of HD radio,
Internet and other distribution channels with complementary formats. Ultimately, compelling content
improves audience share which, in turn, drives revenue and cash flow generation.
Deliver Content via New Distribution Technologies.
We intend to drive company and industry
development through new distribution technologies. Some examples of such innovation are as follows:
Alternative Devices.
The FM radio feature is increasingly integrated into MP3
players and cell phones. This should expand FM listenership by putting a radio in every
pocket with free music and local content and represents the first meaningful increase in
the radio installed base in more than 25 years.
HD Radio.
HD radio enables crystal clear reception, interactive features, data
services and new applications. For example, the interactive capabilities of HD radio
will potentially permit us to participate in commercial download services. Further, HD
radio allows for many more stations, providing greater variety of content which we
believe will enable advertisers to target consumers more effectively. On December 6,
2005, we joined a consortium of radio operators in announcing plans to create the HD
Digital Radio Alliance to lobby auto makers, radio manufacturers and retailers for the
rollout of digital radios. We plan to continue to develop compelling HD content and
applications and to support the alliance to foster industry conversion. We currently
operate 804 HD stations, comprised of 454 HD and 350 HD2 signals.
Internet.
Clear Channel websites had over 10.5 million unique visitors in
April 2008, making the collection of these websites one of the top five trafficked music
websites. Streaming audio via the Internet provides increased listener reach and new
listener applications as well as new advertising capabilities.
Mobile.
We have pioneered mobile applications which allow subscribers to use
their cell phones to interact directly with the station, including finding titles or
artists, requesting songs and downloading station wallpapers.
Consolidated
Maintain High Free Cash Flow Conversion.
Our business segments benefit from high margins
and low capital intensity, which leads to strong free cash flow generation. We intend to closely
manage expense growth and to continue to focus on achieving operating efficiencies throughout our
businesses. Within each of our operating segments, we share best practices across our markets and
continually look for innovative ways to contain costs. Historically, we have been able to contain
costs in all of our segments during periods of slower revenue growth. For example, while our Radio
Broadcasting segment experienced flat growth in net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007,
we were able to reduce Radio Broadcasting operating expenses and increase Radio Broadcasting
operating income by 1% during this period. We will continue to seek new ways of reducing costs
across our global network. We also intend to deploy growth capital with discipline to generate
continued high free cash flow yield.
Pursue Strategic Opportunities and Optimize Our Portfolio of Assets.
An inherent benefit of
both our outdoor advertising and radio broadcasting businesses is that they represent a collection
of saleable assets at attractive multiples. Furthermore, at March 31, 2008, we have a capital loss
carryforward of approximately $809 million that can be used to offset capital gains recognized on
asset sales over the next three years. We continually evaluate strategic opportunities both within
and outside our existing lines of business and may from time to time sell, swap, or purchase assets
or businesses in order to maximize the efficiency of our portfolio.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Sale of Certain Radio Stations
On November 16, 2006, we announced plans to sell 448 non-core radio stations. During the first
quarter of 2008, we revised our plans to sell 173 of these stations because we determined that
market conditions were not advantageous to complete the sales. We intend to hold and operate these
stations.
Since November 16, 2006, we have sold 223 non-core radio stations. In addition, we have 20
non-core radio stations that are no longer under a definitive asset purchase agreement as of March
31, 2008. However, we continue to actively market these radio stations and they continue to meet
the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.
The following table presents the activity related to our planned divestitures of radio stations:

In addition to the non-core radio stations mentioned above, we had definitive asset purchase
agreements for eight radio stations at March 31, 2008. Through May 7, 2008, we executed definitive
asset purchase agreements for the sale of 17 radio stations in addition to the radio stations under
definitive asset purchase agreements at March 31, 2008.
The closing of these radio sales is subject to antitrust clearances, FCC approval and other
customary closing conditions. The sale of these assets is not a condition to the closing of the
Transactions and is not contingent on the closing of the Transactions.
Sale of Our Television Business
On November 16, 2006, we announced plans to sell all of our television stations. We entered
into a definitive agreement on April 20, 2007 with an affiliate of Providence Equity Partners Inc.
(Providence) to sell our television business. The FCC issued its consent order on November 29,
2007 approving the assignment of our television station licenses to the affiliate of Providence. On
March 14, 2008, we completed the sale of all of our television stations to an affiliate of
Providence for $1.0 billion, adjusted for certain items including proration of expenses and
adjustments for working capital.
Sale of Certain Equity Investments
On January 17, 2008, we entered into an agreement to sell our equity investment in Clear
Channel Independent, an out-of-home advertising company with operations in South Africa and other
sub-Saharan countries. We closed the transaction on March 28, 2008.
On May 28, 2008, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our 40% equity interest in the
Mexican radio broadcasting company, Grupo Acir, for total consideration of $94 million. The sale is
subject to Mexican regulatory approvals and is expected to close in June 2008. At closing, the
buyer will purchase half of our equity interest and is obligated to purchase our remaining equity
interest in Grupo Acir within five years from the closing date.
THE TRANSACTIONS
Overview
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, CCM Parent will
acquire Clear Channel. The acquisition will be effected by the merger of Merger Sub with and into
Clear Channel. As a result of the merger, Clear Channel
will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCM Parent, held indirectly through intermediate
holding companies. The merger agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants with
respect to the conduct of the business and certain closing conditions. Although there are no
remaining regulatory approvals required in order to consummate the Transactions, the adoption of
the merger agreement is subject to the approval of our shareholders. Following the Transactions,
CCM Parent will be a public company and Clear Channel will no longer be a public company.
Capital Structure of CCM Parent Following the Transactions
The following discussion assumes the approval of the adoption of the merger agreement by our
shareholders.
One or more new entities controlled by Bain Capital Investors, LLC and its affiliates
(collectively, Bain Capital) and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively,
THL and, together with Bain Capital, the Sponsors) and their co-investors will acquire directly
or indirectly through newly formed companies (each of which will be ultimately controlled jointly
by the Sponsors) shares of stock in CCM Parent. At the effective time of the merger, those shares
will represent, in the aggregate, between 66% and 82% (whether measured by voting power or economic
interest) of the equity of CCM Parent, depending on the percentage of shares certain members of our
management commit, or are permitted and subsequently elect, to rollover and the number of shares
issued to our public shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement, as more fully described below.
The capital stock held by the Sponsors will consist of a combination of shares of strong voting
Class B common stock and nonvoting Class C common stock of CCM Parent with aggregate votes equal to
one vote per share. As an illustration only, assuming there were one million shares of Class B
common stock issued and outstanding and nine million shares of Class C common stock issued and
outstanding, then each share of Class B common stock would have ten votes; and therefore, in the
aggregate the Class B common stock would be entitled to ten million votes (a total number of votes
equal to the total number of shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock outstanding).
At the effective time of the merger, our shareholders who elect to receive cash consideration
in connection with the merger will receive $36.00 in cash for each pre-merger share of our
outstanding common stock they own, subject to the payment of additional equity consideration
(defined below), if applicable. Pursuant to the merger agreement, as an alternative to receiving
the $36.00 per share cash consideration, our shareholders will be offered the opportunity to
exchange some or all of their pre-merger shares on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common
stock in CCM Parent, subject to aggregate and individual caps discussed below (stock elections).
Shares of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class A common
stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock will have the same economic rights.
The merger agreement provides that no more than 30% of the capital stock of CCM Parent is
issuable pursuant to stock elections in exchange for our outstanding common stock, including shares
issuable upon conversion of our outstanding options. If our shareholders make stock elections
exceeding the 30% aggregate cap, then each shareholder (other than certain shareholders who have
separately agreed with CCM Parent to make stock elections with respect to an aggregate of
13,888,890 shares of our common stock whose respective stock elections are subject to proration
only in the event of a reduction in the equity financing funded by the Sponsors and their
co-investors) will receive a proportionate allocation of shares of CCM Parents Class A common
stock. Furthermore, no shareholder making a stock election may receive more than 11,111,112 shares
of Class A common stock of CCM Parent in connection with the merger. Our shareholders which are
subject to proration or the individual cap will receive $36.00 per share cash consideration for
such prorated or capped shares, subject to the payment of additional equity consideration, if
applicable.
In limited circumstances, our shareholders electing to receive cash consideration for some or
all of their shares of our outstanding common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of
our outstanding options, will, on a pro rata basis, instead be issued shares of CCM Parents Class
A common stock (additional equity consideration). CCM Parent may reduce the cash consideration to
be paid to our shareholders in the event the total funds that CCM Parent determines it needs to
fund the Transactions exceed the total funds available to CCM Parent in connection with the
Transactions, as described more fully in Use of Proceeds herein. If CCM Parent elects to reduce
the cash consideration based on such determination, CCM Parent may reduce the cash consideration to
be paid to our shareholders by an amount not to exceed 1/36
th
of the total amount of
cash consideration that our shareholders elected to receive and, in lieu thereof, issue shares of
Class A common stock to such shareholders. The issuance of any additional equity consideration may
result in the issuance of more than 30% of the total shares of capital stock of CCM Parent in
exchange for shares of our outstanding common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of
our outstanding options.
The merger agreement provides for payment of additional cash consideration if the merger
closes after November 1, 2008 (additional cash consideration). If the merger is consummated after
November 1, 2008, but on or before December 1, 2008, our shareholders will receive additional cash consideration based upon the number of
days elapsed since November 1, 2008 (including November 1, 2008), equal to $36.00 multiplied by
4.5% per annum, per share. If the merger is consummated after December 1, 2008, the additional cash
consideration will increase and our shareholders will receive additional cash consideration based
on the number of days elapsed since December 1, 2008 (including December 1, 2008), equal to $36.00
multiplied by 6% per annum, per share (plus the additional cash consideration accrued during
November 2008).
Equity Rollover by Our Management and Related Equity Arrangements
In connection with the merger agreement, the Fincos and Messrs. Mark P. Mays, Randall T. Mays
and L. Lowry Mays entered into a letter agreement, as supplemented on May 17, 2007, and as further
supplemented on May 13, 2008 (the Letter Agreement). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Messrs.
Mark P. Mays, Randall T. Mays and L. Lowry Mays agreed to roll over unrestricted common stock,
restricted equity securities and in the money stock options exercisable for common stock of Clear
Channel, with an aggregate value of approximately $45 million, in exchange for equity securities of
CCM Parent (based upon the per share price paid by the Sponsors for shares of CCM Parent in
connection with the merger).
In connection with the Transactions and pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Messrs. Mark P. Mays
and Randall T. Mays committed to a rollover exchange pursuant to which they will surrender a
portion of the equity securities of Clear Channel they own, with a value of $10 million ($20
million in the aggregate), in exchange for $10 million worth of the equity securities of CCM Parent
($20 million in the aggregate, based upon the per share price paid by the Sponsors for shares of
CCM Parent in connection with the merger). In May 2007, Messrs. Mark P. Mays, Randall T. Mays and
L. Lowry Mays and certain members of our management received grants of restricted equity securities
of Clear Channel (the May 2007 equity grants). Each of Messrs. Mark P. Mays and Randall T. Mays
May 2007 equity grants, individually valued at approximately $2.9 million, will be used to reduce
their respective $10 million rollover commitments. The remainder of Messrs. Mark P. Mays and
Randall T. Mays rollover commitments will be satisfied through the rollover of a combination of
unrestricted common stock of Clear Channel and in the money stock options exercisable for common
stock of Clear Channel in exchange for equity securities of CCM Parent.
Furthermore, in connection with the Transactions and pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Mr. L.
Lowry Mays committed to a rollover exchange pursuant to which he will surrender a portion of the
equity securities of Clear Channel he owns, with an aggregate value of $25 million, in exchange for
$25 million worth of the equity securities of CCM Parent (based upon the per share price paid by
the Sponsors for shares of CCM Parent in connection with the merger). Mr. L. Lowry Mays May 2007
equity grant, valued at approximately $1.4 million, will be used to reduce his $25 million rollover
commitment. The remainder of Mr. L. Lowry Mays rollover commitment will be satisfied through the
rollover of a combination of unrestricted common stock of Clear Channel and in the money stock
options exercisable for common stock of Clear Channel in exchange for equity securities of CCM
Parent.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement and the escrow agreement described herein, by May 28, 2008,
each of Messrs. L. Lowry Mays, Mark P. Mays and Randall T. Mays deposited into escrow unrestricted
shares of Clear Channel common stock and vested Clear Channel stock options that will be used to
satisfy a portion of the foregoing equity commitments.
In addition to the foregoing rollover arrangements, upon the consummation of the Transactions
and pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Messrs. Mark P. Mays and Randall T. Mays will each receive a
grant of approximately $20 million worth of shares of Class A common stock of CCM Parent, subject
to certain vesting requirements, pursuant to their new employment arrangements with CCM Parent.
Furthermore, each of Mr. Mark P. Mays and Mr. Randall T. Mays will receive grants of options equal
to 2.5% of the fully diluted equity of CCM Parent upon the consummation of the Transactions.
The merger agreement contemplates that the Fincos and CCM Parent may agree to permit certain
members of our management to elect that some of their outstanding shares of our common stock,
including shares issuable upon conversion of our outstanding options, and shares of our restricted
stock be converted into shares or options to purchase shares of CCM Parent Class A common stock
following the consummation of the merger. We contemplate that such conversions, if any, would be
based on the fair market value on the date of conversion, which we contemplate to be the per share
price paid by the Sponsors for shares of CCM Parent in connection with the merger, and would also,
in the case of our stock options, preserve the aggregate spread value of the rolled options. As of
the date of this exhibit, except for the Letter Agreement and with respect
to shares of restricted
stock discussed below, no member of our management nor any of our directors has entered into any
agreement, arrangement, or understanding regarding any such arrangements. However, unvested options
to acquire a maximum of 225,704 shares of Clear Channel common stock that are not in the money on
the date of the merger may not, by their terms, be cancelled prior to their stated expiration date; the Fincos and Merger Sub
have agreed to allow these stock options to be converted into stock options to acquire shares of
CCM Parent Class A common stock.
The Fincos and Merger Sub have informed us that they anticipate converting approximately
625,000 shares of Clear Channel restricted stock held by management and employees pursuant to the
May 2007 equity grants into CCM Parent Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Such CCM Parent
Class A common stock will continue to vest ratably on each of the next three anniversaries of the
date of grant in accordance with their terms. The Fincos and Merger Sub have also informed us that
they anticipate offering to certain members of our management and certain of our employees the
opportunity to purchase up to an aggregate of $15 million of equity interests in CCM Parent (based
upon the per share price paid by the Sponsors for shares of CCM Parent in connection with the
merger).
Other than with respect to 580,361 shares of our common stock included within Mr. L. Lowry
Mays rollover commitment described above, shares of CCM Parent Class A common stock issued
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements will not reduce the shares of CCM Parent Class A common
stock available for issuance as stock consideration.
Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations
On December 17, 2007, we announced that we commenced a cash tender offer and consent
solicitation for our outstanding $750.0 million principal amount of our 7.65% senior notes due 2010
on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement
dated December 17, 2007. As of June 10, 2008, we had received tenders and consents representing 99%
of our outstanding 7.65% senior notes due 2010.
Also on December 17, AMFM Operating Inc. commenced a cash tender offer and consent
solicitation for the outstanding $644.9 million principal amount of the 8% Senior Notes due 2008 on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement
dated December 17, 2007. As of June 10, 2008, AMFM Operating Inc. had received tenders and consents
representing 99% of the outstanding 8% senior notes due 2008.
As a result of receiving the requisite consents, we and AMFM Operating Inc. entered into
supplemental indentures which eliminate substantially all the restrictive covenants in the
indenture governing the respective notes. Each supplemental indenture will become operative upon
acceptance and payment of the tendered notes, as applicable.
We may elect to terminate the tender offer and consent solicitation for our outstanding 7.65%
senior notes due 2010 and relaunch a new tender offer and consent solicitation for our senior notes
due 2010 prior to the consummation of the Transactions. AMFM Operating Inc. anticipates extending
the tender offer and consent solicitation for its outstanding 8% senior notes due 2008.
Each of the tender offers is conditioned upon the consummation of our merger. The completion
of the merger and the related debt financings are not subject to, or conditioned upon, the
completion of the tender offers.
SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA
The following table sets forth our summary historical and unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial and other data as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The summary historical
financial data for, and as of, the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are derived from
our audited consolidated financial statements. The summary historical financial data for, and as
of, the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are derived from our unaudited
consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim data reflects all
adjustments consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the results for the interim periods. The selected historical financial data for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and
2007 are included elsewhere in this exhibit. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for future periods and operating results for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2008.
The unaudited pro forma financial data for, and as of, the last twelve months ended March 31,
2008 gives effect to the Transactions in the manner described in Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements. We have derived the pro forma financial data for the last
twelve months ended March 31, 2008 by adding the pro forma financial data for the year ended
December 31, 2007 and the pro forma financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
subtracting the pro forma financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The pro forma
adjustments are based upon available data and certain assumptions we believe are reasonable. The
summary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data is for informational purposes
only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial position would
actually be if the Transactions occurred at any date, nor does such data purport to project the
results of operations for any future period.
The summary historical and unaudited pro forma consolidated financial and other data should be
read in conjunction with Selected Financial Data, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto appearing in our periodic and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and with Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in
this exhibit. The amounts in the tables may not add due to rounding.

Information for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 is presented on a pro forma basis to
give effect to the merger transaction. Pro forma adjustments are made to depreciation and
amortization, corporate expenses, merger expenses, interest expense and income tax (benefit)
expense.
(2)
Includes non-cash compensation expense.
(3)
Pro forma cash interest expense, a non-GAAP financial measure, includes cash paid for
interest expense and excludes amortization of deferred financing costs and purchase accounting
discount. Pro forma cash interest expense assumes that the PIK Election has not been made. The
PIK Election refers to the option of Clear Channel to pay interest by increasing the
principal amount of the senior toggle notes or issuing new senior toggle notes. The actual
interest rates on the indebtedness incurred to consummate the Transactions and this offering
could vary from those used to compute cash interest expense.
(4)
Capital expenditures include additions to our property, plant and equipment and do not
include any proceeds from disposal of assets, nor any expenditures for acquisitions of
operating (revenue-producing) assets.
(5)
Represents the sum of the indebtedness to be incurred in connection with the closing of the
Transactions, which will be guaranteed by Clear Channel Capital I, LLC and our material
wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, and existing indebtedness of us and our
restricted subsidiaries anticipated to remain outstanding after the closing of the
Transactions.
The existing indebtedness amount reflects purchase accounting fair value
adjustments of a negative $931 million related to our existing senior notes.
(6)
Represents total debt described in footnote 5 above, less the amount of our existing senior
notes anticipated to remain outstanding after the closing of the Transactions, which are not
guaranteed by, or direct obligations of, our subsidiaries.
(7)
The following table discloses the Companys EBITDA (income (loss) from continuing operations
before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, (gain)
loss on marketable securities and minority interest expense, net of tax), OIBDAN (defined as
EBITDA excluding non-cash compensation expense and the following line items presented in the
Statement of Operations: merger expenses; gain (loss) on disposition of assetsnet; equity in
earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates and other income (expense)net) and Adjusted EBITDA
(OIBDAN adjusted for the annual management fee to be paid to the Sponsors, if any, and other
items described below), which are non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial
measure is a numerical measure of a companys performance, financial position, or cash flows
that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the
most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA,
OIBDAN and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to
net income or cash flow from operations, as determined under GAAP. We believe that EBITDA,
OIBDAN and Adjusted EBITDA provide investors with helpful information with respect to our
operations and cash flows. We present EBITDA, OIBDAN and Adjusted EBITDA to provide additional
information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures
and working capital requirements.
EBITDA, OIBDAN and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not
consider them either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under
GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
EBITDA, OIBDAN and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect (i) changes in, or cash
requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) our interest expense, or the cash
requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (iii) our
tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and (iv) our historical cash
expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being
depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA,
OIBDAN and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
and
other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA, OIBDAN and Adjusted EBITDA
differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
The following table summarizes the calculation of the Companys historical and pro forma EBITDA,
OIBDAN and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA and provides a reconciliation to the Companys net income
(loss) from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

Our senior secured credit facilities provide for a $2,000 million 6-year revolving credit
facility, of which $150 million will be available in alternative currencies. We will have the
ability to designate one or more of our foreign restricted subsidiaries as borrowers under a
foreign currency sublimit of the revolving credit facility. Consistent with our international
cash management practices, at or promptly after the consummation of the Transactions, we
expect one of our foreign subsidiaries to borrow $80 million under the revolving credit
facilitys sublimit for foreign based subsidiary borrowings to refinance our existing foreign
subsidiary intercompany borrowings. The foreign based borrowings allow us to efficiently
manage our liquidity needs in local countries, mitigating foreign exchange exposure and cash
movement among different tax jurisdictions. Based on estimated cash levels (including
estimated cash levels of our foreign subsidiaries), we do not expect to borrow any additional
amounts under the revolving credit facility at the closing of the Transactions.
(2)
The aggregate amount of the 6-year term loan A facility will be the sum of $1,115 million
plus the excess of $750 million over the borrowing base availability under our receivables
based credit facility on the closing of the Transactions. The aggregate amount of our
receivables based credit facility will correspondingly be reduced by the excess of $750
million over the borrowing base availability on the closing of the Transactions. Assuming that
the borrowing base availability under the receivables based credit facility is $440 million,
the term loan A facility would be $1,425 million and the aggregate receivables based credit
facility (without regard to borrowing base limitations) would be $690 million. However, our
actual borrowing base availability may be greater or less than this amount.
(3)
Our senior secured credit facilities provide for a $10,700 million 7.5-year term loan B
facility.
(4)
Our senior secured credit facilities provide for a $705.638 million 7.5-year term loan
Casset sale facility. To the extent specified assets are sold after March 27, 2008 and prior
to the closing of the Transactions, actual borrowings under the term loan Casset sale
facility will be reduced by the net cash proceeds received therefrom. Proceeds from the sale
of specified assets after the closing of the Transactions will be applied to prepay the
term
loan Casset sale facility (and thereafter to prepay any remaining term loan facilities)
without right of reinvestment under our senior secured credit facilities. In addition, if the
net proceeds of any other asset sales are not reinvested, but instead applied to prepay the
senior secured credit facilities, such proceeds would first be applied to the term loan
Casset sale facility and thereafter pro rata to the remaining term loan facilities.
(5)
Our senior secured credit facilities provide for two 7.5-year delayed draw term loans
facilities aggregating $1,250 million. Proceeds from the delayed draw 1 term loan facility,
available in the aggregate amount of $750 million, can only be used to redeem any of our
existing senior notes due 2010. Proceeds from the delayed draw 2 term loan facility, available
in the aggregate amount of $500 million, can only be used to redeem any of our existing 4.25%
senior notes due 2009. Upon the consummation of the Transactions, we expect to borrow all
amounts available to us under the delayed draw 1 term loan facility in order to redeem
substantially all of our outstanding senior notes due 2010. We do not expect to borrow any
amount available to us under the delayed draw 2 term loan facility upon the consummation of
the Transactions. Any unused commitment to lend will expire on September 30, 2010 in the case
of the delayed draw 1 term loan facility and on the second anniversary of the closing in the
case of the delayed draw 2 term loan facility.
(6)
We anticipate that a portion of our existing senior notes and other existing subsidiary
indebtedness will remain outstanding after the closing of the Transactions. The aggregate
principal amount of the existing senior notes and the subsidiary indebtedness that is
estimated to remain outstanding is $4,275 million and $119 million, respectively, at March 31,
2008. The aggregate principal amount of the existing senior notes and the subsidiary
indebtedness to remain outstanding assumes the repurchase of $750 million of our outstanding
senior notes due 2010 and the repurchase of $645 million aggregate principal amount of AMFM
Operating Inc.s outstanding 8.0% senior notes due 2008.
(7)
Represents total equity as a result of rollover equity of our existing shareholders who have
elected to receive shares of CCM Parent as merger consideration, rollover equity from the Mays
family, restricted stock and estimated cash equity contributed to us indirectly by CCM Parent
from cash equity investments in CCM Parent by entities associated with the Sponsors and their
co-investors. Actual cash equity would be decreased by the amount of Clear Channel cash
available on the closing date to be used in the Transactions, subject to a minimum of $3,000
million total equity.
(8)
The amount assumes, as of March 31, 2008, approximately 498.0 million issued and outstanding
common shares and the settlement of 836,800 outstanding employee stock options at a per share
price of $36.00, payable in either cash or rollover equity as selected by existing
shareholders (subject to aggregate caps and individual limits).
(9)
Represents the refinancing of $125 million of our senior notes due June 2008, the repurchase
of $645 million aggregate principal amount of AMFM Operating Inc.s outstanding 8.0% senior
notes due 2008 and the repurchase of $750 million of our outstanding senior notes due 2010,
plus any premiums related thereto and accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(10)
Reflects estimated fees, expenses and other costs incurred in connection with the
Transactions, including placement and other financing fees, advisory fees, transaction fees
paid to affiliates of the Sponsors, costs associated with certain restricted stock grants to
management, change-in-control payments, excess cash and other transaction costs and
professional fees. All fees, expenses and other costs are estimates and actual amounts may
differ from those set forth in this exhibit.

Operating Inc.s outstanding 8.0% senior notes due 2008.
(7)
Represents the sum of the indebtedness to be incurred in connection with the closing of the

(9)
Represents our existing senior notes, which are not guaranteed by, or direct obligations of,
our subsidiaries, a portion of which is anticipated to remain outstanding after the closing of
the Transactions. The aggregate principal amount of our
existing senior notes to remain outstanding assumes the repurchase of $750 million of our
outstanding senior notes due 2010. The pro forma amount includes purchase accounting fair value
adjustments of $(931) million.
(10)
The pro forma amount represents total shareholders equity from equity investments of $3,449
million, excluding $40 million of restricted stock of CCM Parent, presented on a pro forma
basis less an accounting adjustment of $805 million mainly related to continuing shareholders
basis in accordance with EITF 88-16. See Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
StatementsNotes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data has been derived by
the application of pro forma adjustments to Clear Channels audited historical consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Clear Channels unaudited historical
consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data gives effect to the
merger which will be accounted for as a purchase in conformity with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141,
Business Combinations
(Statement 141), and EITF 88-16. As a result
of the potential continuing ownership in CCM Parent by certain members of Clear Channels
management and large shareholders, CCM Parent expects to allocate a portion of the consideration to
the assets and liabilities at their respective fair values with the remaining portion recorded at
the continuing shareholders historical basis. The pro forma adjustments are based on the
preliminary assessments of allocation of the consideration paid using information available to date
and certain assumptions believed to be reasonable. The allocation will be determined following the
close of the merger based on a formal valuation analysis and will depend on a number of factors,
including: (i) the final valuation of Clear Channels assets and liabilities as of the effective
time of the merger, (ii) the number of equity securities which are subject to agreements between
certain officers or employees of Clear Channel and CCM Parent, pursuant to which such shares or
options are to be converted into equity securities of CCM Parent in the merger, (iii) the identity
of the shareholders who elect to receive stock consideration in the merger and the number of shares
of Class A common stock allocated to them, after giving effect to the 30% aggregate cap and the
individual cap of 11,111,112 shares of CCM Parents Class A common stock governing the stock
election, (iv) the extent to which CCM Parent determines that additional equity consideration is
needed and (v) the historical basis of continuing ownership under EITF 88-16. Differences between
the preliminary and final allocation may have a material impact on amounts recorded for total
assets, total liabilities, shareholders equity and income (loss). For purposes of the unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated financial data, the management of CCM Parent has assumed that the
fair value of equity after the merger is $3.4 billion. Based on the commitments of certain
affiliated shareholders and discussions with certain other large shareholders that could materially
impact the EITF 88-16 calculation, management assumed that Clear Channel shareholders will elect to
receive stock consideration with a value of approximately $658.9 million in connection with the
merger and an additional $390.1 million of stock consideration will be distributed as additional
equity consideration. Based on these assumptions, it is anticipated that 9.9% of each asset and
liability will be recorded at historic carryover basis and 90.1% at fair value. For purposes of the
pro forma adjustment, the historical book basis of equity was used as a proxy for historical or
predecessor basis of the control groups ownership. The actual predecessor basis will be used, to
the extent practicable, in the final purchase adjustments.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet was prepared based upon the
historical consolidated balance sheet of Clear Channel, adjusted to reflect the merger as if it had
occurred on March 31, 2008.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2007, the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the last twelve months ended
March 31, 2008 were prepared based upon the historical consolidated statements of operations of
Clear Channel, adjusted to reflect the merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2007.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not reflect
nonrecurring charges that have been or will be incurred in connection with the merger, including
(i) compensation charges of $44.0 million for the acceleration of vesting of stock options and
restricted shares, (ii) certain non-recurring advisory and legal costs of $204.0 million and
(iii) costs for the early redemption of certain Clear Channel debt of $51.9 million. In addition,
Clear Channel currently anticipates approximately $311.0 million will be used to fund certain
liabilities and post closing transactions. These funds will be provided through either additional
equity contributions from the Sponsors or their affiliates or Clear Channels available cash
balances.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with Selected Financial Data, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
appearing in our periodic and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
with the historical financial statements and the notes thereto of Clear Channel included in this
exhibit and the other financial information contained in Summary Historical and Unaudited Pro
Forma Consolidated and Other Data included herein.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data is not necessarily indicative of the
actual results of operations or financial position had the above described transactions occurred on
the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial
position.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data includes the following pro forma
assumptions and adjustments.
(A)
The pro forma adjustments include the fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities in
accordance with Statement 141 and the historical basis of the continuing shareholders of the
control group in accordance with EITF 88-16. The control group under EITF 88-16 includes members
of management of Clear Channel who exchange pre-merger Clear Channel equity securities for shares
of capital stock of CCM Parent and greater than 5% shareholders whose ownership has increased as a
result of making a stock election in the merger. Based upon information currently available to
Clear Channel, it is anticipated that the continuing aggregate ownership of the control group will
be approximately 9.9%. However, the actual continuing aggregate ownership of the control group will
not be determinable until after the consummation of the merger and will depend on a number of
factors including the identity of the shareholders who elect to receive stock consideration and the
actual fair value of equity after the merger.
The following table shows (i) the impact of the currently anticipated continuing aggregate
ownership by the control group and (ii) the impact of each 100 basis point change in the continuing
aggregate ownership by the control group on the pro forma balances of CCM Parents definite-lived
intangibles, indefinite-lived intangibles, goodwill, total assets and total shareholders equity at
March 31, 2008, and income (loss) from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007,
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the last twelve months ended March 31, 2008.

For purposes of the pro forma adjustments, the historical book basis of equity was used as a
proxy for historical or predecessor basis of the control groups ownership. The actual predecessor
basis will be used, to the extent practicable, in the final purchase adjustments.

amortization. Annually, the licenses and permits will be reviewed for impairment and useful
lives evaluated to determine whether facts and circumstances continue to support an indefinite
life for these assets.

Our senior secured credit facilities provide for a $2,000 million 6-year revolving credit
facility, of which $150 million will be available in alternative currencies. We will have the
ability to designate one or more of our foreign restricted subsidiaries as borrowers under a
foreign currency sublimit of the revolving credit facility. Consistent with our international cash
management practices, we expect one of our foreign subsidiaries to borrow $80 million under the
revolving credit facilitys sublimit for foreign based subsidiary borrowings to refinance our
existing foreign subsidiary intercompany borrowings. The foreign based borrowings allow us to
efficiently manage our liquidity needs in local countries, mitigating foreign exchange exposure and
cash movement among different tax jurisdictions. Based on estimated cash levels (including
estimated cash levels of our foreign subsidiaries), we do not expect to borrow any additional
amounts under the revolving credit facility at the closing of the Transactions.
The aggregate amount of the 6-year term loan A facility will be the sum of $1,115 million plus
the excess of $750 million over the borrowing base availability under our receivables based credit
facility on the closing of the Transactions. The aggregate amount of our receivables based credit
facility will correspondingly be reduced by the excess of $750 million over the borrowing base
availability on the closing of the Transactions. Assuming that the borrowing base availability
under the receivables based credit facility is $440 million, the term loan A facility would be
$1,425 million and the aggregate receivables based credit facility (without regard to borrowing
base limitations) would be $690 million. However, our actual borrowing base availability may be
greater or less than this amount.
Our senior secured credit facilities provide for a $10,700 million 7.5-year term loan B
facility.
Our senior secured credit facilities further provide for a $705.638 million 7.5-year term loan
Casset sale facility. To the extent specified assets are sold after March 27, 2008 and prior to
the closing of the Transactions, actual borrowings under the term loan Casset sale facility will
be reduced by the net cash proceeds received therefrom. Proceeds from the sale of specified assets
after the closing of the Transactions will be applied to prepay the term loan Casset sale facility
(and thereafter to prepay any remaining term loan facilities) without right of reinvestment under
our senior secured credit facilities. In addition, if the net proceeds of any other asset sales are
not reinvested, but instead applied to prepay the senior secured credit facilities, such proceeds
would first be applied to the term loan Casset sale facility and thereafter pro rata to the
remaining term loan facilities.
Our senior secured credit facilities provide for two 7.5-year delayed draw term loans
facilities aggregating $1,250 million. Proceeds from the delayed draw 1 term loan facility,
available in the aggregate amount of $750 million, can only be used to redeem any of our existing
senior notes due 2010. Proceeds from the delayed draw 2 term loan facility, available in the
aggregate amount of $500 million, can only be used to redeem any of our existing 4.25% senior notes
due 2009. Upon the consummation of the Transactions, we expect to borrow all amounts available to
us under the delayed draw 1 term loan facility
in order to redeem substantially all of our
outstanding senior notes due 2010. We do not expect to borrow any amount available to us under the
delayed draw 2 term loan facility upon the consummation of the Transactions. Any unused commitment
to lend will expire on September 30, 2010 in the case of the delayed draw 1 term loan facility and
on the second anniversary of the closing in the case of the delayed draw 2 term loan facility.
Our $1,000 million receivables based credit facility will have availability that is limited by
a borrowing base. We estimate that borrowing base availability under the receivables based credit
facility at the closing of the Transactions will be $440 million, although our actual availability
may be greater or less than our estimation.
(D)
Deferred income taxes in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet are
recorded at the statutory rate in effect for the various tax jurisdictions in which Clear Channel
operates. Deferred income tax liabilities increased $2.6 billion on the unaudited pro forma
consolidated balance sheet primarily due to the fair value adjustments for licenses, permits and
other intangibles, partially offset by adjustments for deferred tax assets from net operating
losses generated by transaction costs associated with the merger.
The pro forma adjustment for income tax expense was determined using statutory rates for the
year ended December 31, 2007, the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the last twelve
months ended March 31, 2008.
(E)
This pro forma adjustment is for the fair value adjustment of an existing other long-term
liability and the payment of $38.1 million for a non-qualified employee benefit plan required upon
a change of control as a result of the merger.
(F)
These pro forma adjustments eliminate the historical shareholders equity to the extent
that it is not carryover basis for the control group under EITF 88-16 (90.1% eliminated with 9.9%
at carryover basis).

Pro forma interest expense reflects an $80 million outstanding balance on the $2,000 million
revolving credit facility at a rate equal to an applicable margin (assumed to be 3.4%) over
LIBOR (assumed to be 2.7%) plus a commitment fee of 0.5% on the assumed undrawn balance of the
revolving credit facility. For each 0.125% per annum change in LIBOR, annual interest expense
on the revolving credit facility would change by $0.1 million.
(2)
Reflects pro forma interest expense on the receivables based credit facility at a rate equal
to an applicable margin (assumed to be 2.4%) over LIBOR (assumed to be 2.7%) and assumes a
commitment fee of 0.375% on the unutilized portion of the receivables based credit facility.
For each 0.125% per annum change in LIBOR, annual interest expense on the receivables based
credit facility would change by $0.6 million.
(3)
Reflects pro forma interest expense on the term loan facilities at a rate equal to an
applicable margin over LIBOR. The pro forma adjustment assumes margins of 3.4% to 3.65% and
LIBOR of 2.7%. Assumes a commitment fee of 1.82% on the unutilized portion of the delayed draw
term loan facilities. For each 0.125% per annum change in LIBOR, annual interest expense on
the term loan facilities would change by $17.0 million.
(4)
Assumes a fixed rate of 10.75% on the senior cash pay notes offered in connection with the

These pro forma financial statements include the assumptions that interest expense is
calculated at the rates under each tranche of the debt per the purchase agreement and that
the PIK Election has not been made in all available periods to the fullest extent
possible.
The table below quantifies the effects for the period presented of two possible
alternate scenarios available to Clear Channel with regard to the payment of required
interest, a) paying 100% payment-in-kind (PIK) for all periods presented and b) electing
to pay 50% in cash and 50% through use of the PIK Election for all periods presented:

The use of the 100% PIK Election will increase cash balances by approximately $146 million,
net of tax, in the first year that the debt is outstanding. The use of the 50% cash pay /
50% PIK Election will increase cash balances by approximately $73 million, net of tax, in
the first year that the debt is outstanding.
(5)
Represents debt issuance costs associated with our new bank facilities amortized over 6 years
for the receivables based credit facility and the revolving credit facility, 6 to 7.5 years

Transactions.
(J)
This pro forma adjustment reverses merger expenses as they are non-recurring charges
incurred in connection with the merger.
(K)
This pro forma adjustment records non-cash compensation expense of $9.7 million,
$2.4 million, $2.4 million and $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the last twelve months ended March 31, 2008, respectively,
associated with common stock options of CCM Parent that will be granted to certain key executives
upon completion of the merger in accordance with new employment agreements described elsewhere in
this exhibit. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of these awards were consistent with
the assumptions used by Clear Channel disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2007. It is likely that actual results will differ from these estimates due to changes in the
underlying assumptions and the pro forma results of operations could
be materially impacted.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Following the Transactions
In connection with the Transactions, we will incur substantial amounts of debt, including
amounts outstanding under our new senior secured credit facilities, our new receivables based
credit facility and the notes offered in connection with the Transactions. Interest payments on
this indebtedness will significantly reduce our cash flow from operations. Upon the consummation of
the Transactions, we expect to have total debt of approximately $19,861 million.
Our senior secured credit facilities provide for a $2,000 million 6-year revolving credit
facility, of which $150 million will be available in alternative currencies. We will have the
ability to designate one or more of our foreign restricted subsidiaries as borrowers under a
foreign currency sublimit of the revolving credit facility. Consistent with our international cash
management practices, at or promptly after the consummation of the Transactions, we expect one of
our foreign subsidiaries to borrow $80 million under the revolving credit facilitys sublimit for
foreign based subsidiary borrowings to refinance our existing foreign subsidiary intercompany
borrowings. The foreign based borrowings allow us to efficiently manage our liquidity needs in
local countries, mitigating foreign exchange exposure and cash movement among different tax
jurisdictions. Based on estimated cash levels (including estimated cash levels of our foreign
subsidiaries), we do not expect to borrow any additional amounts under the revolving credit
facility at the closing of the Transactions.
The aggregate amount of the 6-year term loan A facility will be the sum of $1,115 million plus
the excess of $750 million over the borrowing base availability under our receivables based credit
facility on the closing of the Transactions. The aggregate amount of our receivables based credit
facility will correspondingly be reduced by the excess of $750 million over the borrowing base
availability on the closing of the Transactions. Assuming that the borrowing base availability
under the receivables based credit facility is $440 million, the term loan A facility would be
$1,425 million and the aggregate receivables based credit facility (without regard to borrowing
base limitations) would be $690 million. However, our actual borrowing base availability may be
greater or less than this amount.
Our senior secured credit facilities provide for a $10,700 million 7.5-year term loan B
facility. Furthermore, our senior secured credit facilities provide for a $705.638 million 7.5-year
term loan Casset sale facility. To the extent specified assets are sold after March 27, 2008 and
prior to the closing of the Transactions, actual borrowings under the term loan Casset sale
facility will be reduced by the net cash proceeds received therefrom. Proceeds from the sale of
specified assets after the closing of the Transactions will be applied to prepay the term loan
Casset sale facility (and thereafter to prepay any remaining term loan facilities) without right
of reinvestment under our senior secured credit facilities. In addition, if the net proceeds of any
other asset sales are not reinvested, but instead applied to prepay the senior secured credit
facilities, such proceeds would first be applied to the term loan Casset sale facility and
thereafter pro rata to the remaining term loan facilities.
Our senior secured credit facilities provide for two 7.5-year delayed draw term loans
facilities aggregating $1,250 million. Proceeds from the delayed draw 1 term loan facility,
available in the aggregate amount of $750 million, can only be used to redeem any of our existing
senior notes due 2010. Proceeds from the delayed draw 2 term loan facility, available in the
aggregate amount of $500 million, can only be used to redeem any of our existing 4.25% senior notes
due 2009. Upon the consummation of the Transactions, we expect to borrow all amounts available to
us under the delayed draw 1 term loan facility in order to redeem substantially all of our
outstanding senior notes due 2010. We do not expect to borrow any amount available to us under the
delayed draw 2 term loan facility upon the consummation of the Transactions. Any unused commitment
to lend will expire on September 30, 2010 in the case of the delayed draw 1 term loan facility and
on the second anniversary of the closing in the case of the delayed draw 2 term loan facility.
Finally, we will have a $1,000 million receivables based credit facility with availability
that is limited by a borrowing base. We estimate that borrowing base availability under the
receivables based credit facility at the closing of the Transactions will be $440 million, although
our actual availability may be greater or less than our estimation.
Following the Transactions, our primary source of liquidity will continue to be cash flow from
operations. Based on our current and anticipated levels of operations and conditions in our
markets, we believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under our new
senior secured credit facilities and our new receivables based credit facility will enable us to
meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and other funding requirements for the
foreseeable future. Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other
obligations, and to comply with the financial covenants under our debt agreements, however, depends
on our future operating performance and cash flow, which are in turn subject to prevailing economic
conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Subject to restrictions in our
new senior secured credit facilities,
our new receivables based credit facility and the indenture
governing the notes, we may incur more debt for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and for other
purposes. In addition, we may require additional financing if our plans materially change in an
adverse manner or prove to be materially inaccurate. There can be no assurance that such financing,
if permitted under the terms of our debt agreements, will be available on terms acceptable to us or
at all. The inability to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and on our ability to meet our obligations under the notes.

Per Arbitron Rankings as of January 2, 2008.
(1)
Included in the 115 non-core radio stations are 63 stations which were sold subsequent to
December 31, 2007, and 32 stations which were subject to sale under definitive asset purchase
agreements at March 31, 2008.
(2)
In connection with the merger, we have agreed with regulatory authorities to divest of a
total of 62 stations (47 core radio stations and 15 non-core radio stations).
(3)
Excluded from the 1,005 radio stations owned or operated by us are five radio stations
programmed pursuant to a LMA or shared services agreement (where the FCC licenses are not
owned by us) and one Mexican radio station that we provide programming to and for which we
sell airtime for under exclusive sales agency arrangements. Also excluded are radio stations
in Australia, Mexico and New Zealand. We own a 50%, 40% and 50% equity interest in companies
that have radio broadcasting operations in these markets, respectively. On May 28, 2008, we
entered into a definitive agreement to sell our 40% equity interest in the Mexican radio
broadcasting company, Grupo Acir, for total consideration of $94 million. The sale is subject
to Mexican regulatory approvals and is expected to close in June 2008. At closing, the buyer
will purchase half of our equity interest and is obligated to purchase our remaining equity
interest in Grupo Acir within five years from the closing date.
