The Company's weighted average interest rate s at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were 6.5% and 6.2%, respectively. The aggregate market value of the Company's debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $18.1 billion and $16.2 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Subsidiary Senior Subordinated Notes Issuance During the first quarter of 2012, the Company's indirect subsidiary, Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (“CCWH”) issued $27 5.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 and $1,92 5.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (collectively, the “Subordinated Notes”). Interest on the Subordinated Notes is payable to the trustee weekly in arrears and to the noteholders on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2012. The Subordinated Notes are CCWH's senior subordinated obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior subordinated basis by CCOH, its wholly-owned subsidiary Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (“CCOI”), and certain of CCOH's other domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations that rank junior to all of CCWH's existing and fu ture senior debt, including CCWH's outstanding senior notes, equally with any of CCWH's existing and future senior subordinated debt and ahead of all of CCWH's existing and future debt that expressly provides that it is subordinated to the Subordinated Notes. The guarantees of the Subordinated Notes rank junior to each Guarantor's existing and future senior debt, including CCWH's outstanding senior notes, equally with each Guarantor's existing and future senior subordinated debt and ahead of each Guarantor's existing and future debt that expressly provides that it is subordinated to the guarantees of the Subordinated Notes. The Company capitalized $40.0 million in fees and expenses associated with the Subordinated Notes offering and is amortizing them through interest expense over the life of the Subordinated Notes. With the proceeds of the Subordinated Notes (net of the initial purchasers' discount of $3 3.0 million), CCWH loaned an aggregate amount equal to $2,16 7.0 million to CCOI. CCOI paid all other fees and expenses of the offering using cash on hand and, with the proceeds of the loans, made a special cash dividend to CCOH, which in turn made a special cash dividend on March 15, 2012 in an amount equal to $6.0832 per share to its Class A and Class B stockholders of record at the close of business on March 12, 2012, including Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CC Holdings”) and CC Finco, LLC (“CC Finco”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Of the $2,170.4 million special cash dividend paid by CCOH, an aggregate of $1,925.7 million was distributed to CC Holdings and CC Finco, with the remaining $244.7 million distributed to other stockholders. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction of $244.7 million in “Noncontrolling interest” on the consolidated balance sheet. 2011 Clear Channel Refinancing Transactions In February 2011, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“Clear Channel”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, amended its senior secured credit facilities and its receivables based facility and issued $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of 9.0% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 (the “Initial Notes”). In June 2011, Clear Channel issued an additional $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9.0% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 (the “Additional Notes”) at an issue price of 93.845% of the principal amount. The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes have identical terms and a re treated as a single class. The Company capitalized $39.5 million in fees and expenses associated with the Initial Notes offering and is amortizing them through interest expense over the life of the Initial Notes. The Company capitalized an additional $7.1 million in fees and expenses associated with the offering of the Additional Notes and is amortizing them through interest expense over the life of the Additional Notes. Clear Channel used the proceeds of the Initial Notes offering to prepay $500.0 million of the indebtedness outstanding under its senior secured credit facilities. The $500.0 million prepayment was allocated on a ratable basis between outstanding term loans and revolving credit commitments under Clear Channel's revolving credit facility. Clear Channel obtained, concurrent with the offering of the Initial Notes, amendments to its credit agreements with respect to its senior secured credit facilities and its receivables based facility (revolving credit commitments under the receivables based facility were reduced from $783.5 million to $625.0 million), which were required as a condition to complete the offering. The amendments, among other things, permit Clear Channel to request future extensions of the maturities of its senior secured credit facilities, provide Clear Channel with greater flexibility in the use of its accordion capacity, provide Clear Channel with greater flexibility to incur new debt, provided that the proceeds from such new debt are used to pay down senior secured credit facility indebtedness, and provide greater flexibility for CCOH and its subsidiaries to incur new debt, provided that the net proceeds distributed to Clear Channel from the issuance of such new debt are used to pay down senior secured credit facility indebtedness. Of the $703.8 million of proceeds from the issuance of the Additional Notes ($750.0 million aggregate principal amount net of $46.2 million of discount), Clear Channel used $500 million for general corporate purposes (to replenish cash on hand that Clear Channel previously used to pay senior notes at maturity on March 15, 2011 and May 15, 2011) and used the remaining $203.8 million to repay at maturity a portion of Clear Channel's 5% senior notes that matured in March 2012. Debt Repayments, Maturities and Other In connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, CCOH paid a special cash dividend equal to $2,170.4 million to its Class A and Class B stockholders, consisting of $1,925.7 million distributed to CC Holdings and CC Finco and $244.7 million dis tributed to other stockholders. In connection with the Subordinated Notes issuance and the dividend paid by CCOH during the first quarter of 2012, Clear Channel repaid indebtedness under its senior secured credit facilities in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of dividend proceeds distributed to CC Holdings and CC Finco, or $1,925.7 million. Of this amount, a prepayment of $1,918.1 million was applied to indebtedness outstanding under Clear Channel's revolving credit facility, thus permanently reducing the revolving credit commitments under Clear Channel's revolving credit facility to $10.0 million. The remaining $7.6 million prepayment was allocated on a pro rata basis to Clear Channel's term loan facilities. In addition, on March 15, 2012, using cash on hand, Clear Channel made voluntary prepayments under its senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount equal to $170.5 million, as follows: (i) $16.2 million under its term loan A due 2014, (ii) $129.8 million under its term loan B due 2016, (iii) $10.0 million under its term loan C due 2016 and (iv) $14.5 million under its delayed draw term loans due 2016. In connection with the prepayments on Clear Channel's senior secured c redit facilities, the Company recorded a loss of $15.2 million in “Other expense” related to the accel erated expensing of loan fees. During the first quarter of 2012, Clear Channel repaid its 5.0% senior notes at maturity for $249.9 million (net of $50.1 million principal amount repaid to a subsidiary of Clear Channel with respect to notes repurchased and held by such entity), plus accrued interest, using a portion of the proceeds from the 2011 offering of the Additi onal Notes, along with cash on hand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Clear Channel repaid its 6.25% senior notes at maturity for $692.7 million (net of $57.3 million principal amount repaid to a subsidiary of Clear Channel with respect to notes re purchased and held by such entity), plus accrued interest, using a portion of the proceeds from the 2011 offering of the Initial Notes, along with available cash on hand. Clear Channel also repaid its 4.4% senior notes at maturity for $140.2 million (net of $109.8 million principal amount repaid to a subsidiary of Clear Channel with respect to notes re purchased and held by such entity), plus accrued interest, with available cash on hand. Prior to, and in connection with the Additional Notes offering, Clear Channel repaid all amounts outstanding under its receivables based credit facility on June 8, 2011, using cash on hand. This voluntary repayment did not reduce the commitments under this facility and Clear Channel may reborrow amounts under this facility at any time. In addition, on June 27, 2011, Clear Channel made a voluntary payment of $500.0 million o n its revolving credit facility. During the third quarter of 2011, CC Finco repurchased $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of Clear Channel's outstanding 5.5% senior notes due 2014 for $57.1 million, including accrued interest, through open market purchases. Notes repurchased by CC Finco are eliminated in consolidation.
