Verde Outdoor Acquisition. On July 2, 2025, Lamar Advertising Limited Partnership ("Lamar LP"), the subsidiary operating partnership of the Company and Lamar Media, acquired Verde Outdoor at a value of $147,642 through the issuance of 1,187,500 Common Units of Lamar LP. The acquisition value is based on the Company's common stock price on July 2, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement of Lamar LP, the Common Units are redeemable by the holder after a holding period, which is generally twelve months, for a cash amount per Common Unit equal to the market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company. At the Company’s option, in lieu of cash, the redemption obligation may be satisfied by issuing shares of Class A common stock of the Company in exchange for Common Units tendered for redemption. The acquisition of Verde Outdoor includes more than 1,500 billboard faces across ten states.

As of September 30, 2025, our fair value allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination of Verde Outdoor is considered preliminary and is subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to this allocation. The aggregate purchase price was $147,642. We expect to finalize the allocation no later than December 31, 2025. In order to develop our preliminary fair values, the Company utilized asset information received from the acquired company and fair value allocation benchmarks from similar completed transactions.
