Case Background

On March 14, 2018, iHeartMedia, Inc. announced that it reached an agreement in principle with the majority of its creditors and its financial sponsors that reflects widespread support for a comprehensive balance sheet restructuring that will reduce iHeartMedia’s debt by more than $10 billion and give iHeartMedia a capital structure that matches its strong operating business.

To implement this agreed upon restructuring, iHeartMedia and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.  The cases are pending before the Honorable Marvin Isgur, and the cases are jointly administered under Case No. 18-31274.  Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries did not commence Chapter 11 proceedings.

iHeartMedia is America’s #1 audio company, with unparalleled reach and a strong operating business, generating year-over-year revenue growth in each of the last 18 consecutive quarters.  The Company will be operating business as usual as a leading global media, entertainment and data company, serving audiences, advertisers, and other business partners across its industry-leading platforms.  iHeartMedia expects to have sufficient liquidity to support ongoing operations during the court-supervised process.
