On August 28, 2025, iHeartMedia, Inc. (“iHeartMedia”) and its subsidiary, iHeart Management Services, Inc. (together with iHeartMedia, the “Company”) entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) to the employment agreements with Robert W. Pittman (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) and Richard J. Bressler (President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer) (each, an “Executive”). The Amendments amend the employment agreements that Messrs. Pittman and Bressler previously entered into with the Company, which were scheduled to expire in 2026. The material changes under the Amendments are as follows:

•

The Amendments extend the term of the employment agreements until December 31, 2029, at which time the employment agreements will terminate unless the Executive and the Company have mutually agreed to extend the term.

•

The Amendments provide that outstanding equity awards granted at least six months prior to a qualifying retirement termination will remain outstanding and eligible to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule (and, for performance-based awards, based on actual performance).

•

Mr. Bressler’s Amendment increased his cash severance multiplier from 1.5x to 2x to align his severance payments and benefits (upon a qualifying termination of employment) with Mr. Pittman’s existing severance payments and benefits.

The foregoing description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
