Today, iHeartMedia, Inc. (“iHeart”) filed an 8K disclosing a comprehensive refinancing transaction via a Transaction Support Agreement (the “TSA”) that contemplates two alternative transaction structures.1 iHeart’s 8K also included a presentation providing an overview of these transactions (the “TSA Presentation”).2 The TSA is designed to extend over $4 billion of maturities by three years, and all holders of the outstanding loans and bonds will have the right to participate.
