BATON ROUGE, La., Feb. 16, 2018 -- Lamar Advertising Company (Nasdaq:LAMR), a leading owner and operator of outdoor advertising and logo sign displays, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp. (“Lamar Media”), intends to redeem in full all $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (CUSIP No. 513075BB6) (the “Notes”). The redemption will be made in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes and the terms of the notice of redemption.
