ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
In connection with the reorganization of Lamar Advertising Company into
a new holding company structure, Lamar Media Corp. (formerly known as Lamar
Advertising Company) made a change of control tender offer to the holders of its
9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 in aggregate principal amount of
approximately $103,900,000 issued pursuant to an Indenture dated August 15, 1997
by and among Outdoor Communications, Inc., a company acquired by Lamar whose
obligations under the Notes were assumed, certain guarantors under the Indenture
and the First Union National Bank as Trustee. Pursuant to the change of control
tender offer and in accordance with the Indenture, Lamar Media Corp. offered to
repurchase the Notes for 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest up
to but excluding the payment date of August 19, 1999.
A total of $29,876,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes were
tendered for payment. Lamar Media Corp. used borrowings under its 1998 revolving
bank credit facility with The Chase Manhattan Bank as administrative agent to
pay the tendered Notes. At August 25, 1999, the weighted average interest rate
for outstanding borrowings under Lamar Media's 1998 bank credit facility is
