The consideration being offered in the High Participation Scenario has not been amended. iHeartCommunications also expects to make certain other technical amendments that will be described in the Amended and Restated Offering Circular.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, which are only available to holders of Existing Notes, will be made pursuant to the Amended and Restated Offering Circular, and are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

The New Securities, including the new debt of iHeartCommunications and related guarantees, will be offered only in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act. The New Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.

The Exchange Offers with respect to the existing priority guarantee notes are being made, and the New Securities offered to holders thereof will be issued, to all holders of existing priority guarantee notes. The Exchange Offer with respect to iHeartCommunications’ Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Senior Notes due 2021”) is being made, and the New Securities being offered to holders thereof, will be issued only to holders of Senior Notes due 2021 that are (i) “qualified institutional buyers” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act or institutional “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or (ii) not “U.S. persons” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act.
