Amendment Description	This Amendment No. 1 (“the Amendment”) to the Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (the “Form 10-Q”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2012 (the “Filing Date”) is filed solely to correct the net loss attributable to the Company per common share amounts included in the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 and included in Exhibit 11 thereto and to make corresponding changes to Exhibit 101 to the Form 10-Q, which contains the XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) Interactive Data File for the financial statements and notes included in Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-Q. Due to an administrative error, the adjustment for participating securities dividends was incorrect, resulting in net loss attributable to the Company per common share being overstated by $0.02 per share and $0.02 per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. This error was also reflected in the Company’s earnings release that was issued on August 1, 2012 and furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2012. This error had no impact on any other items presented on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) including Revenue, Operating Income, Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) attributable to the Company. The calculation error had no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or any disclosures included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis. No other changes to our Form 10-Q are made in this Amendment. This Amendment speaks as of the Filing Date, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Filing Date, and, other than as set forth below, does not modify or update the disclosures made in the Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-Q.
