Restrictive covenants in the indentures governing the notes, the indentures governing the Clear Channel Communications senior notes and Clear Channel Communications’ senior secured credit facilities restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.

Clear Channel Communications’ senior secured credit facilities, Clear Channel Communications’ receivables based credit facility, Clear Channel Communications’ senior notes contain, and the indentures governing the notes offered hereby will contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interests. These agreements do or will include covenants restricting, among other things, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

 

  Ÿ  

incur or guarantee additional debt or issue certain preferred stock;

 

  Ÿ  

redeem, repurchase or retire our subordinated debt;

 

  Ÿ  

make certain investments;

 

  Ÿ  

create liens on our or our restricted subsidiaries’ assets to secure debt;

 

  Ÿ  

create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from our restricted subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the notes;

 

30


  Ÿ  

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

  Ÿ  

merge or consolidate with another person, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

 

  Ÿ  

sell certain assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries;

 

  Ÿ  

alter the business that we conduct; and

 

  Ÿ  

designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the Series A Notes will not restrict our ability to pay dividends, redeem or purchase capital stock or make any other restricted payments. See “Description of Other Indebtedness” and “Description of the Series A Notes—Certain Covenants in the 2017 A Indenture—Limitation on Restricted Payments” and “Description of the Series B Notes—Certain Covenants in the 2017 B Indenture—Limitation or Restricted Payments.”
