Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;

Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain

Officers.

On January 20, 2022, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and Jason A. Dilger, Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer of the Company, entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the "Amended and Restated Employment Agreement"), effective as of January 1, 2022. The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement supersedes the existing employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Dilger, dated May 1, 2019 (the "Prior Employment Agreement").

The initial term of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement ends on January 1, 2025 and will be automatically extended for additional three-year periods, unless the Company or Mr. Dilger gives prior written notice of non-renewal of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between June 1 and July 1 prior to the end of the then-applicable employment term.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Dilger will (i) receive a base salary at an annualized rate of $400,000 retroactive to October 1, 2021, (ii) be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus with a target of 60% of his annual base salary and (iii) be eligible for an annual equity incentive grant with an approximate value of not less than $325,000 per award, the form of which will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. If the Company terminates Mr. Dilger's employment without "cause", or if it does renew the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Dilger will receive his accrued and unpaid base salary through the termination date, any earned but unpaid annual bonus for the prior year and any payments required under applicable employee benefit plans. In addition, if Mr. Dilger timely executes a severance agreement and general release of claims in favor of the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company, Mr. Dilger will receive (a) his base salary payable over a 12-month period and (b) a pro rata annual bonus payment for the calendar year of Mr. Dilger's termination, calculated based upon actual performance and payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to other employees of the Company. If Mr. Dilger gives notice of non-renewal of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Dilger will receive his accrued and unpaid base salary through the termination date and any payments required under applicable employee benefit plans. If the termination date due to Mr. Dilger's non-renewal of the then-current employment term under the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement is before the end of the then-current employment term, and if Mr. Dilger timely executes a severance agreement and general release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company, then Mr. Dilger will receive an amount equal to his pro rata base salary through the end of the then-current employment term.

The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement also contains a customary confidentiality provision that survives Mr. Dilger's termination of employment, as well as customary non-interference, non-solicitation and non-competition provisions that apply during employment and for the 12-month period thereafter. The remaining terms of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, including benefits, are generally consistent with the terms of the Prior Employment Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text and terms of the agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
