announcing that one of its subsidiaries had entered into an agreement with Vertical Bridge Acquisitions, LLC (&#147;Buyer&#148;), an affiliate of Vertical Bridge Holdings, LLC (&#147;Vertical Bridge&#148;), for the sale of 411 of iHM&#146;s
broadcast communications tower sites and related assets for up to $400.0 million (the &#147;Tower Portfolio&#148;). Vertical Bridge has provided an equity commitment letter covering the full purchase price. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The acquisition of the Tower Portfolio may occur in one or more closings. Simultaneous with the first closing of the sale of the towers, iHM will enter into
lease agreements for the continued use of the towers. The initial term of the lease will be fifteen years followed by three additional periods of five years each, subject to exclusions and limitations. If Buyer acquires the entire Tower Portfolio,
iHM will have annual lease payments of approximately $22.7 million, a loss of annual tenant revenues of approximately $11.6 million and a reduction of direct operating expenses of approximately $3.8 million annually. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The first closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2015 following a 60-day diligence period, during which Buyer may exclude
certain tower sites from the transaction based upon customary grounds for exclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, Buyer is required to acquire at least 85% of the Tower Portfolio (based on
value and irrespective of any defects identified with respect to such tower sites during the diligence period). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Among other customary conditions to
closing, the seller is not required to consummate the transaction unless Buyer agrees to acquire at least 92.5% of the Tower Portfolio (based on value) at the first closing. Subsequent closings will occur as and to the extent defects are cured with
respect to any excluded tower sites. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Proceeds of the sale will be used for general corporate purposes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the press release announcing the transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. </P>
