On April 6, 2026, Clear Channel

Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it has commenced a consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”)

principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030; (ii) $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Secured Notes

due 2031; and (iii) $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2033, to approve certain proposed

amendments to the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes (each, an “Indenture” and, together, the “Indentures”).

The Consent Solicitation is

being conducted in connection with the Company’s previously announced entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February

9, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Madison Parent Inc. (“Parent”) and Madison Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger

Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving

as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The purpose of the Consent Solicitation is to approve the amendment of certain provisions under

each Indenture in connection with the consummation of the Merger, including, among other amendments, an amendment to the definition of

“Change of Control” in each of the Indentures to provide that the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated

by the Merger Agreement will not constitute a Change of Control under any of the Indentures. The obligations of the Company, Parent and

Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms thereof are not conditioned on successful

completion of the Consent Solicitation or any amendments with respect to the Indentures.

In connection with the Consent

Solicitation, the Company issued a press release on April 6, 2026 announcing the commencement of the Consent Solicitation. A copy of such

press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information provided under

Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and is not deemed to be “filed” with

the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and is not incorporated by reference

into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange

Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to this Current Report

on Form 8-K in such a filing.

Exhibit 99.1

Clear Channel Outdoor

Holdings, Inc. Commences

Consent Solicitation Relating to its Senior Secured Notes

San Antonio, Texas, April 6, 2026 –

Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“Clear Channel” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CCO) announced today

that it has commenced a consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) with respect to its outstanding senior secured

notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”), consisting of (i) $865,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured

Notes due 2030 (CUSIPs 18453HAF3 and U1828LAE8); (ii) $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2031

(CUSIPs 18453HAG1 and U1828LAF5); and (iii) $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2033 (CUSIPs 18453HAH9

and U1828LAG3), to approve certain Proposed Amendments (as defined below) to the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes (each,

an “Indenture” and, together, the “Indentures”).

As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2026,

the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Madison Parent Inc. (“Parent”)

and Madison Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will

merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

The consummation of the Merger would constitute a “Change of Control” under each Indenture and, absent an amendment of each

Indenture, would require the Company to make a “Change of Control Offer” to repurchase the Senior Secured Notes at 101% of

the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The purpose of the Consent Solicitation is

to (i) amend the definition of “Change of Control” in each of the Indentures to provide that the Merger and the other transactions

contemplated by the Merger Agreement do not constitute a “Change of Control”, (ii) amend the definition of “Permitted

Holder” in each of the Indentures to provide that certain investment funds affiliated with Mubadala Capital LLC and TWG Global LLC

and their related investment vehicles shall be “Permitted Holders” and (iii) waive any and all Defaults or Events of Default

under each Indenture that may arise as a result of the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger

Agreement (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”). Except for the Proposed Amendments, all existing terms of the

Senior Secured Notes and the Indentures will remain unchanged.

The Consent Solicitation is being made in

accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a Consent Solicitation Statement, dated April 6, 2026 (as it may

be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Consent Solicitation Statement”).

The Consent Solicitation is scheduled to expire

at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 10, 2026, or such later time and date to which such Consent Solicitation is extended (such

time and date, as it may be extended with respect to any series of Senior Secured Notes, the "Expiration Time"). A holder

may validly revoke its consent with respect to a series of Senior Secured Notes prior to the earlier of the Effective Time (as defined

herein) and the Expiration Time with respect to such series of Senior Secured Notes (the "Revocation Deadline"), as described

in the Consent Solicitation Statement.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Consent Solicitation

Statement:

● holders of the Company’s 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 who validly

deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments prior to the Expiration Time (and do not validly revoke such consents prior to the applicable

Revocation Deadline) are entitled to receive their pro rata portion of an aggregate cash payment of $2,162,500,

● holders of the Company’s 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 who validly

deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments prior to the Expiration Time (and do not validly revoke such consents prior to the applicable

Revocation Deadline) are entitled to receive their pro rata portion of an aggregate cash payment of $2,875,000, and

● holders of the Company’s 7.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2033 who validly

deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments prior to the Expiration Time (and do not validly revoke such consents prior to the applicable

Revocation Deadline) are entitled to receive their pro rata portion of an aggregate cash payment of $2,250,000

(collectively, the “Consent Payment”). Holders who

deliver consents after the Expiration Time will not receive the Consent Payment. The payment of the Consent Payment to the consenting

holders of each series of Senior Secured Notes is contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver of the Consent Payment Conditions (as defined

in the Consent Solicitation Statement), including obtaining the Requisite Consent (as defined below) for such series and the consummation

of the Merger. Holders who have validly delivered their consents prior to the applicable Expiration Time but who have validly revoked

their consents prior to the applicable Revocation Deadline will not be eligible to receive the Consent Payment unless they validly deliver

their consents again prior to such Expiration Time, and do not validly revoke their consents again prior to such Revocation Deadline.

The Merger is currently expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2026, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

The Proposed Amendments must be consented

to by holders representing a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes of such series (excluding

Senior Secured Notes beneficially owned by the Company or any of its affiliates) pursuant to the applicable Indenture (the “Requisite

Consent”).

The Proposed Amendments will become effective

with respect to a series of Senior Secured Notes upon receipt of the Requisite Consent for such series and the execution of a supplemental

indenture with respect to such series (the “Effective Time”), which may occur prior to the Expiration Time if the Requisite

Consent is received before then and holders will not be given prior notice of the Effective Time. Upon receipt of the Requisite Consent

for a series of Senior Secured Notes, the Company and the guarantors party to the applicable Indenture intend to execute a supplemental

indenture to such Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes of such series, and will deliver the supplemental indenture to the trustee

for execution in accordance with the Indenture. No consents may be revoked after the Revocation Deadline. The Proposed Amendments will

become operative immediately prior to consummation of the Merger. Upon the Proposed Amendments becoming effective and operative with respect

to a series of Senior Secured Notes, all holders of the Senior Secured Notes of such series would be bound by the terms thereof, even

if they did not deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments. The supplemental indenture for a series of Senior Secured Notes will terminate

upon written notice to the applicable trustee that the Consent Payment has not been made in connection with the consummation of the Merger

in accordance with the terms of the Consent Solicitation Statement.

2

If the Merger Agreement is terminated and

the Merger is not consummated, the Proposed Amendments will automatically cease to be effective, the Proposed Amendments will not become

operative and no Consent Payment will be made.

The Proposed Amendments becoming operative

is not a condition to the completion of the Merger. If the Requisite Consent is not obtained for any series of Senior Secured Notes by

the Expiration Time, the Company will be required under the applicable Indenture to make a Change of Control Offer in respect of the Senior

Secured Notes of such series within 30 days following the consummation of the Merger, at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate

principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to the date of purchase.

The complete terms and conditions of the Consent

Solicitation are set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement that is being sent to the holders of each series of the Senior Secured

Notes. Clear Channel may extend, amend or terminate the Consent Solicitation with respect to a series of Senior Secured Notes at any time

and from time to time as described in the Consent Solicitation Statement.
