Equity Award Grant Timing Practices

Regular Annual Equity Award Grant Dates. The grant date for regular annual stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, for employees, including the named executive officers, is typically in February and for non-employee directors is typically in April.

Employee New Hires/Promotions Grant Dates. Grants of stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, to newly-hired or newly-promoted employees are made at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors following his or her hire or promotion.

Initial Equity Award Grant Dates for Newly-Elected Non-Employee Directors. Grants of stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, to newly-elected non-employee directors are generally made at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors following their election. If a non-employee director is appointed between regularly scheduled Board meetings, then grants of stock options and other equity awards, as applicable, are made at the first meeting in attendance after such appointment, and the first meeting after election thereafter.

Timing of Equity Awards. Clear Channel Outdoor does not have a formal policy on timing equity awards in connection with the release of material non-public information to affect the value of compensation. In the event that material non-public information becomes known to the Committee prior to granting equity awards, the Committee will take the existence of such information under advisement and make an assessment in its business judgment whether to delay the grant of the equity award in order to avoid any potential impropriety.
