This excerpt taken from the CCO DEF 14A filed Apr 30, 2009. Executive Benefits and Perquisites Clear Channel Outdoor provides the following personal benefits to one or more of the named executive officers: (a) reimbursement for claims and administrative expenses under the Clear Channel Outdoor Medical Executive Reimbursement Plan, (b) certain pension benefits, (c) personal club membership, (d) company matching 401(k) contributions, and (e) car allowance. Clear Channel Outdoor has a Medical Executive Reimbursement Plan (MERP) in place for Paul Meyer that reimburses Mr. Meyer for out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision expenses that are not paid by the health plan that is available to all full-time employees. After claims are paid through the general health plan, co-payments, coinsurance, and ineligible expenses are reimbursed to Mr. Meyer through the MERP. In 2008, we paid $7,595 in claims and administrative expenses. Clear Channel Outdoor seeks to provide competitive benefits to promote the health and well-being of Mr. Meyer, which the Committee believes is in the long-term interests of stockholders. Mr. Bevan participates in the Clear Channel UK Defined Benefit Pension Scheme, which is a pension plan that we sponsor for certain employees in the United Kingdom. The pension scheme provides pension income at retirement based on service and salary at retirement. Participation is elective, and participants are required to contribute to the pension scheme if they participate. The pension scheme is closed to new entrants, but approximately one-third of UK employees participate in the pension scheme. See the discussion of the pension scheme with respect to Mr. Bevan under the heading Clear Channel UK Defined Benefit Pension Scheme set forth below in this proxy statement. The Committee believes that the above benefits provide a more tangible incentive than an equivalent amount of cash compensation. In determining the named executive officers total compensation, the Committee reviews these benefits and perquisites. However, as these benefits and perquisites represent a relatively insignificant
