Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 28, 2018, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), certain lenders party thereto (the “Required Lenders”) and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Agent”), entered into a Waiver and Consent No. 1 (the “Waiver”) with respect to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2013 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Waiver, the Required Lenders and the Agent granted a one-time temporary waiver of compliance by the Company with the financial statement, compliance certificate and certain other information and delivery requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Pursuant to the Waiver, the Company is required to provide the financial statements and related deliverables no later than April 30, 2018 and the compliance certificate no later than May 7, 2018. In the event that such requirements are not satisfied on or prior to April 30, 2018 or May 7, 2018, as applicable, the Waiver will be disregarded for purposes of the Credit Agreement and the Required Lenders will be deemed to have delivered a written notice of default on March 31, 2018. In that case, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company would have 60 days from March 31, 2018 to cure such default.
The Waiver includes customary representations and does not limit, impair or constitute a waiver of the rights and remedies of the lenders or the Agent, and except as expressly provided in the Waiver, does not amend or affect the terms of the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Waiver and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Waiver, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
