STOCKHOLDER INPUT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION We value the opinions of our stockholders, and we welcome input on our executive compensation program. In evaluating the design of our executive compensation and the compensation decisions for each of our NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers input from our stockholders. We also consider the advisory “say-on-pay”vote in evaluating the design of our executive compensation and the compensation decisions for each of the NEOs. In May 2024, Clear Channel Outdoor held a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of Clear Channel Outdoor’s NEOs. Approximately 99% of the votes cast approved the compensation of Clear Channel Outdoor’s NEOs. Consistent with the most recent “say-on-payfrequency” voting results at our annual meeting of stockholders held in 2023, we hold an annual “say-on-pay”vote, including at this year’s meeting. The Board will re-evaluatethis determination after the next stockholder advisory “say-on-payfrequency” vote (which will be at the Company’s 2029 annual meeting of stockholders unless presented earlier).

ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the executive compensation program for all NEOs, as well as other executives within the Company. While Clear Channel Outdoor management provides input, it is the responsibility of the Compensation Committee to evaluate and approve our executive compensation philosophy, plans, policies and programs. The following table outlines the process the Compensation Committee follows to ensure the total compensation for our NEOs is competitive, appropriately tied to performance and does not promote undue risk taking.

| At the end of each year, management, including the Chief Executive Officer, provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee on the compensation of the NEOs for the following year. The Chief Executive Officer does not make recommendations on his own compensation.   These recommendations take into consideration the competitive market pay data provided by the Committee’s independent consultant, as well as an evaluation of the NEO’s role, contributions and performance in achieving Company performance
