FCC Form 312 Exhibit E March 2018 Description of Transaction This application is one of several contemporaneously-filed applications on FCC Form 312 which collectively request Commission consent to the involuntary pro forma assignment or transfer of control of the satellite earth station licenses held by various licensee entities controlled by iHeartMedia, Inc. (“iHM”), to iHM, or to those same licensee entities, as debtors-in-possession.1 On March 14 and 15, 2018, iHM, along with certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), submitted voluntary petitions for bankruptcy to the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Texas (“Bankruptcy Court”), seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code to effectuate a restructuring of the debt obligations of the Debtors.2 As a result, each of the Debtors is now operating as a debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Court’s oversight. The Debtors anticipate that they will continue business operations in the ordinary course throughout the Chapter 11 process. The instant pro forma transaction will not result in a substantial change in control of any iHM license subsidiary. The ownership structure of iHM, its officers and directors, as well as those of each of its license subsidiaries remains unchanged following the filing of the bankruptcy petitions. Through various intermediate companies, control of the licensee subsidiaries remains as it was, subject to the jurisdiction and oversight of the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the contemplated transaction is pro forma in nature. See 47 C.F.R. § 73.3540(f)(4); 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review – Streamlining of Mass Media Applications, Rules and Procedures, 13 FCC Rcd 11349, 11375 (1998).
