PROXY STATEMENT

April 26, 2017

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

What are proxy materials?

OUTFRONT Media Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), made these proxy materials available to you via the internet or, upon your request, have delivered printed versions of these proxy materials to you by mail in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of the Company of proxies to be voted at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on June 12, 2017, at 11:30 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, and at any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement and form of proxy are being distributed and made available on the internet on or about April 26, 2017, to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, and is designed to assist you in voting your shares. The proxy materials include this proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, an annual report to stockholders, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the proxy card or a voting instruction card for the Annual Meeting.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with the SEC rules, we may furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the internet instead of mailing printed copies. Accordingly, we are sending the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of the close of business on April 13, 2017 (the “Record Date”) on or about April 26, 2017. Stockholders receiving a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail will not receive a printed copy of proxy materials, unless they so request. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will instruct stockholders as to how they may access and review proxy materials on the internet. Stockholders who receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail who would like to receive a printed copy of the Company’s proxy materials, including a proxy card or voting instruction card, should follow the instructions for requesting these materials included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. Stockholders who currently receive printed copies of proxy materials who would like to receive future copies of these documents electronically instead of by mail should follow the instructions for requesting electronic delivery set forth in the proxy card, the form of which is included in this proxy statement.

I share an address with another stockholder. Why did we receive only one copy of the proxy materials and how may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy the delivery requirements for a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other annual meeting materials, including this proxy statement and the annual report to stockholders, with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other annual meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” is intended to provide extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement or annual report of stockholders, as applicable, will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. If you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement or annual

1

report to stockholders, as applicable, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account, or the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address or telephone number below if you hold registered shares. If you have multiple accounts in your name or share an address with other stockholders, you can also request “householding” and authorize your broker to discontinue mailings of multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement or annual report, as applicable, by notifying your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account, or the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address or telephone number below if you hold registered shares. Upon request, we will deliver promptly a copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement or annual report, as applicable, to stockholders at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. Stockholders can submit this request by contacting the Company’s Corporate Secretary, at OUTFRONT Media Inc., 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10174, (212) 297-6400.

What items of business will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

There are 3 proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

•

Proposal No. 1: The election of the two Class III director nominees named in this proxy statement, each to serve until the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualifies.

•

Proposal No. 2: The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2017.

•

Proposal No. 3: The approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement.

How does the board of directors recommend I vote on these proposals?

•

“FOR” election of the two Class III director nominees named in this proxy statement.

•

“FOR” ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2017.

•

“FOR” approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Stockholders as of the close of business on the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 138,587,346 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding. You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date.

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank N.A., you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials was provided to you directly. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials was forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’s procedures for obtaining a “legal proxy”. The material from your broker, bank or other nominee will include a voting instruction form or other document by which you can instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares.

A quorum is required for our stockholders to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

Dissenters’ rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

What votes are required with respect to each proposal?

Proposal No. 1, the nominees for Class III director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the nominees receiving the highest number of votes “for” their election will be elected.

2

Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2017, will be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, which means that the number of votes “for” the proposal must exceed the number of votes “against” the proposal.

Proposal No. 3, the non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement, will be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, which means that the number of votes “for” the proposal must exceed the number of votes “against” the proposal. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

How are votes counted?

With respect to Proposal No. 1, you may vote “for” or “withhold” authority to vote for each of the director nominees. With respect to Proposals Nos. 2 and 3, you may vote “for”, “against” or “abstain” from voting on any proposal.

A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and has not received voting instructions from its clients. If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not instruct your broker how to vote, your broker will only have discretion to vote your shares on “routine” matters. Where a proposal is not “routine,” a broker who has received no instructions from its clients does not have discretion to vote its clients’ uninstructed shares on that proposal. At the Annual Meeting, only Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2017, is considered a routine matter. Your broker will therefore not have discretion to vote on Proposals Nos. 1 and 3, but will have discretion to vote on Proposal No. 2.

Pursuant to Maryland law, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of Proposals Nos. 1, 2 and 3, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

If you “withhold” authority to vote with respect to one or more director nominees, your vote will have no effect on the election of the nominees. However, if any nominee for director receives a greater number of  “withhold” votes than votes “for” his or her election (a “Majority Withhold Vote”), the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines require that such director or director nominee promptly tender a written offer of resignation to the Chairman of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Governance Committee”) will promptly consider the director’s offer of resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept the tendered resignation or to take some other action, such as rejecting the tendered resignation and addressing the apparent underlying causes of the Majority Withhold Vote. In making this recommendation, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant by its members including, without limitation, the stated reason or reasons why the stockholders cast “withhold” votes for the director (if ascertainable), the qualifications of the director whose resignation has been tendered, the director’s contributions to the Company, the overall composition of the Board and whether by accepting such resignation the Company will no longer be in compliance with any applicable law, rule, regulation or governing document (including New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards, federal securities laws or the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines), and whether or not accepting the resignation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation within 90 days following certification of the stockholders vote. In considering the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation, the Board will consider the information, factors, and alternatives considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee and such additional information, factors and alternatives the Board believes to be relevant. Following the Board’s decision, the Company will publicly disclose the Board’s decision. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the decisions of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Board that concern the resignation.

How can I attend and vote at the Annual Meeting?

You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person by completing a ballot. Space for the Annual Meeting is limited. Therefore, admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will open at 10:30 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, and the Annual Meeting will begin at 11:30 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time. Each stockholder should be prepared to present:

Use of cameras, recording devices, computers and other electronic devices, such as smart phones and tablets, will not be permitted at the Annual Meeting.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

•

By Internet — If you have internet access, you may submit your proxy by going to www.proxyvote.com and by following the instructions on how to complete an electronic proxy card.

By Mail — You may vote by mail by requesting a proxy card from us, indicating your vote by completing, signing and dating the card where indicated and by mailing or otherwise returning the card in the envelope that will be provided to you. You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as guardian, executor, trustee, custodian, attorney or officer of a corporation), indicate your name and title or capacity. If you sign and submit your proxy card without voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” each director nominee named in this proxy statement with respect to Proposal No. 1, and “FOR” Proposals Nos. 2 and 3 as recommended by the Board, and in accordance with the discretion of the holders of the proxy with respect to any other matter that may be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name, you may also submit voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. In most instances, you will be able to do this over the internet, by telephone or by mail. Please refer to information from your bank, broker, or other nominee on how to submit voting instructions.

How do I change or revoke my proxy?

You may change your vote and revoke your proxy at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the stockholder of record, a proxy may be revoked by a writing delivered to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, at OUTFRONT Media Inc., 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10174, stating that the proxy is revoked, by a subsequent proxy that is signed by the person who signed the earlier proxy and is delivered before or at the Annual Meeting, by voting again on a later date on the internet or by telephone (only your latest internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted), or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee following the instruction it has provided, or, if you have obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Who will count the vote?

A representative of IOE Services Inc. will serve as the inspector of election for the Annual Meeting, and will tabulate the votes.

Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by our directors, officers or employees in person or by mail, telephone, facsimile, electronic transmission or other means.

Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. The Company’s Charter (the “Charter”) provides that the number of directors on the Board is fixed exclusively by the Board pursuant to our Bylaws, but may not be fewer than the minimum required by Maryland law, which is currently one. The Bylaws provide that the Board will consist of not less than one and not more than 15 directors. The Board currently consists of seven directors. On April 7, 2016, the Board voted to reduce its size from seven directors to six directors, effective at the commencement of the annual meeting in June 2016. On April 4, 2017, the Board voted to increase its size from six directors to seven directors. See “— Election and Classification of Directors.” During 2016, the Board held nine meetings and also acted by unanimous written consent two times. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of  (1) the total number of meetings of the Board held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (2) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served during the periods that he or she served during 2016. In addition to Board and committee meetings, directors are invited and expected to attend the Annual Meeting. All of our directors then serving attended the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

In accordance with the NYSE listing standards, the non-management and independent directors meet separately in executive sessions, without directors who are Company employees, at least two times each year, and at such other times as they deem appropriate. During 2016, the Company’s non-management and independent directors met in executive session six times, and the Lead Independent Director presided at all of the executive sessions.

We believe Mr. Brien is qualified to serve as a member of the Board because with 30 years of experience in the advertising, media and marketing industry, Mr. Brien brings to the Board a unique cross-disciplinary perspective, extensive operational experience and expertise working with world-class brands.

Angela Courtin has served on the Board since April 4, 2017. She served as the Chief Marketing Officer of Fox Broadcasting Company from August 2015 to March 2017. Prior to that, she served as Chief Marketing Officer of Relativity Media LLC from July 2014 to July 2015. In July 2015, Relativity Media LLC filed for reorganization under bankruptcy laws after failing to make required loan payments, and subsequently exited bankruptcy in April 2016. Ms. Courtin also served as President of Dentsu Aegis Network Ltd. from August 2013 to July 2014 and President of The Story Lab from July 2012 to January 2014. Ms. Courtin also served in different roles at Aegis Media, including as the Chief Content Officer from August 2012 to August 2013, and Executive Vice President, Content & Convergence from March 2011 to July 2012. Ms. Courtin served on the board of directors of Vapor Corp.

7

(now known as Healthier Choices Management Corp.) from April 2014 to June 2015. We believe Ms. Courtin is qualified to serve as a member of the Board because with over 20 years of experience in the advertising, media and marketing industry, Ms. Courtin brings to the Board a knowledgeable perspective on the impact advertising, marketing and media have in the digital world.

Manuel A. Diaz has served on the Board since August 2014. He is a senior partner at the law firm Lydecker Diaz, LLP and serves on a number of private company and not-for-profit boards. Prior to that, Mr. Diaz served as the Mayor of the City of Miami from 2001 to 2009. We believe Mr. Diaz is qualified to serve as a member of the Board because with over 30 years of combined public service and legal experience, Mr. Diaz brings to the Board a unique perspective on our governmental relationships and the impact we have on the local markets we serve.

Jeremy J. Male has served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer since September 2013, as a member of the Board since March 2014, and as Chairman of the Board since October 2014. Prior to that, he served as the Chief Executive Officer, UK, Northern Europe and Australia for JCDecaux SA since 2000, with operational responsibilities for 11 countries. He also served as a Member of the Executive Board at JCDecaux SA from October 2000 to September 2013. Prior to that, he served as Chief Executive Officer, Europe, of TDI Worldwide Inc. (which was later acquired by the Company). With his long and successful career in senior management positions at a number of highly regarded global outdoor companies, his executive board experience, and his service both as Chairman of the Outdoor Media Centre in the UK and President of FEPE International, each an association of outdoor advertising companies worldwide, Mr. Male brings to us unparalleled global expertise in the outdoor advertising industry and is well positioned to lead the Company, through his executive and director roles. We believe Mr. Male is qualified to serve as a member of the Board because of his outdoor advertising industry and management experience, his board service and the perspective he brings on our business as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Peter Mathes has served on the Board since March 2014. Mr. Mathes served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AsianMedia Group LLC from 2004 to September 2011. Prior to that, he served in various managerial roles, beginning in 1982 at Chris Craft/United Television Group, where he served as Executive Vice President from 1998 to 2001. In January 2012, AsianMedia Group LLC filed for reorganization under bankruptcy laws as a result of a significant decline in U.S. television spot advertising demand beginning in 2008, and, after selling its television stations, filed to liquidate its remaining assets. The case closed in July 2013. We believe Mr. Mathes is qualified to serve as a member of the Board because with over 30 years of combined experience in developing, acquiring and overseeing television stations and managing local and national advertising sales, Mr. Mathes brings to the Board expertise in local and national advertising strategy and development.

Susan M. Tolson has served on the Board since August 2014. She served as an analyst and portfolio manager at Capital Research Company for over twenty years. Prior to that, Ms. Tolson spent two years with Aetna Investment Management Company. Ms. Tolson currently serves on the board of directors of Lagardere Groupe, Worldline E-Payment Services and Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., as well as on the audit committees of Worldline E-Payment Services and Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. and the nominating and compensation committees of Worldline E-Payment Services. We believe Ms. Tolson is qualified to serve as a member of the Board because with extensive experience in the media industry, in investment management and in public company board service, Ms. Tolson provides the Board with a skilled advisor on strategic developments in our industry, as well as corporate finance and corporate governance matters.

Joseph H. Wender has served on the Board since March 2014, and has served as Lead Independent Director since February 2015. He has also been a Senior Consultant to Goldman, Sachs & Co. since January 2008. He began with Goldman, Sachs & Co. in 1971 and became General Partner of the firm in 1982, at which time he headed the Financial Institutions Group for over a decade. Mr. Wender also currently serves as a director of Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Grandpoint Capital, a bank holding company, and is an Independent Trustee of the Schwab Family of Funds. We believe Mr. Wender is qualified to serve as a member of the Board because with over 40 years of investment banking experience and his service on other boards, Mr. Wender brings to the Board a broad and deep understanding of public company financial reporting, corporate finance and strategic transactions.

Election and Classification of Directors

In accordance with the terms of the Charter, the Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class serving staggered three-year terms, and is divided as follows:

•

the Class I directors are Messrs. Diaz and Mathes and Ms. Tolson, and their term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders expected to be held in 2018;

•

the Class II directors are Ms. Courtin and Mr. Brien, and their term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders expected to be held in 2019; and

8

•

the Class III directors are Messrs. Male and Wender, and their term will expire at the Annual Meeting.

At each annual meeting of stockholders, upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, the successor to each such director in the class will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following his or her election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies, in accordance with the Bylaws. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. For information regarding the applicable voting standards for the election of directors and the Company’s director resignation policy, see “General Information About the Annual Meeting and Voting.”

The Nominating and Governance Committee and Mr. William A. Apfelbaum, who served as a director from June 2015 through June 2016, collectively determined that the Company would be best served if Mr. Apfelbaum acted as a management consultant to the Company, where his over 35 years of experience in the outdoor advertising industry, particularly with respect to transit advertising, could be utilized more directly. Accordingly, from and after June 8, 2016, Mr. Apfelbaum served as a paid management consultant to the Company for transit-related matters, and Mr. Apfelbaum and the Nominating and Governance Committee agreed that he would not be nominated as a director for re-election at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 7, 2016. The Nominating and Governance Committee then conducted an extensive search for an additional director and recommended Ms. Courtin to the Board. On April 4, 2017, the Board voted to elect Ms. Courtin as a Class II director.

Director Independence

In accordance with NYSE rules and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Company’s Board of Directors will make an annual determination as to the independence of the directors and director nominees. A director or director nominee is not deemed independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that such director or director nominee has no material relationship with the Company, directly or as an officer, stockholder or partner of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. The Board will observe all criteria for independence established by the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE listing standards and other governing laws and regulations. When assessing materiality of a director’s relationship with the Company, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, not merely from the director’s standpoint, but from that of the persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation, and the frequency or regularity of the services, whether the services are being carried out at arm’s length in the ordinary course of business and whether the services are being provided substantially on the same terms to the Company as those prevailing at the time from unrelated parties for comparable transactions. Material relationships can include any commercial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable or other business relationships each director or director nominee may have with the Company. In addition, the Board will consult with the Company’s external legal counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with all relevant securities laws and other applicable laws and regulations regarding the definition of  “independent director,” including, but not limited to, those set forth in the NYSE listing standards.

In assessing the independence of Mr. Diaz, the Board considered services that Lydecker Diaz LLP, a Florida law firm of which Mr. Diaz is a partner, provided to Van Wagner Communications, LLC, an entity which the Company acquired on October 1, 2014, before the completion of the acquisition. The Board noted that Mr. Diaz did not provide any services directly to the Company before or after the acquisition. In assessing the independence of Ms. Courtin, the Board considered the purchase, directly or indirectly, of out-of-home advertising from the Company by Ms. Courtin’s former employers. The Board noted that payments made to the Company were primarily by agencies contracted by Ms. Courtin’s employers (without influence by, or remuneration to, Ms. Courtin), and/or any such payments did not exceed the relevant percentages of such former employers’ consolidated gross revenues set forth in the NYSE listing standards.

The Nominating and Governance Committee undertook its annual review of director independence and made a recommendation to the Board regarding director independence. As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that six of our current directors, Messrs. Brien, Diaz, Mathes and Wender and Mses. Courtin and Tolson, are “independent directors” under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards. Mr. Apfelbaum, who served as a director from June 2015 through June 2016, was an “independent director” under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board leadership structure is currently comprised of  (1) a combined Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, (2) a Lead Independent Director, and (3) an independent Chair for each of our three standing Board committees described below. From time to time, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the entire Board review the Company’s leadership structure, including the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, to ensure the interests of the Company and its stockholders are best served.

9

The Nominating and Governance Committee has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company for the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman to be held by a single individual, Jeremy J. Male. By serving as both our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Male is able to provide strong and consistent leadership, vision and direction as we pursue our business plans. Mr. Male has extensive knowledge of all aspects of the Company, its business and risks, its industry and its customers. He is intimately involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company and is in the best position to elevate the most critical business issues for consideration by the Board. The Board believes having Mr. Male serve in both capacities allows him to more effectively execute the Company’s strategic initiatives and business plans and confront its challenges. The Board also believes that the combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer structure provides clearer accountability to our stockholders and customers and allows one person to speak for and lead the Company and the Board. In addition, the Board believes that its information flow, meetings, deliberations, and decision-making processes are more focused, efficient, and effective when the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles are combined. The combined role is counterbalanced and enhanced by the effective oversight and independence of the Board and the leadership of the Lead Independent Director and independent committee chairs. Moreover, the Board believes that the appointment of a strong Lead Independent Director and the use of regular executive sessions of the non- management and independent directors, along with the Board’s strong committee system and all directors being independent except for Mr. Male, allow it to maintain effective oversight of management. In our view, splitting the roles would potentially make our management and governance processes less effective through undesirable duplication of work and possibly lead to a blurring of clear lines of accountability and responsibility.

The Lead Independent Director is elected by a majority of independent directors to serve for a one-year term at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Our current Lead Independent Director is Joseph H. Wender. Mr. Wender is an engaged and active director, who is uniquely positioned to work collaboratively with Mr. Male, while providing strong independent oversight. As described in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Lead Independent Director has broad responsibility and authority, including but not limited to:

•

presiding at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors;

•

calling meetings of independent directors;

•

serving as the principal liaison among the Chairman, any other non-independent directors and the independent directors to facilitate discussion of issues discussed in the executive sessions and to ensure the flow of information;

•

collaborating with the Chairman on meeting agendas for the Board;

•

being available, if requested by major stockholders, for consultation and direct communication with stockholders;

•

retaining outside advisors and consultants who report directly to the Board on Board-wide issues; and

•

leading the performance assessment of the Chief Executive Officer and, in collaboration with the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board’s self-assessment.

In addition to the above responsibilities and Mr. Wender’s service as a member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Wender has over the past year performed additional duties, including regularly communicating with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer between Board meetings to discuss a variety of matters, and periodically meeting with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer after executive sessions of independent directors to provide feedback from the other independent directors. A copy of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com.

Board Risk Oversight

The Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of the Company’s risk management process. The Board carries out its oversight responsibility directly and through the delegation to its committees of responsibilities related to the oversight of certain risks, as follows:

•

The Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), as part of its oversight role, is responsible for reviewing with management, the internal auditor and the independent auditor, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and risk management procedures related to, among other things, the Company’s financial condition, the independent auditor, market and industry conditions, information technology security and disaster recovery, among other responsibilities set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter.

10

•

The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) monitors risks associated with the design and administration of the Company’s compensation programs, including its performance-based compensation, to promote an environment which does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risk-taking by the Company’s employees. See “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Risk Assessment.”

•

The Nominating and Governance Committee assesses risk as it relates to monitoring developments in law and practice with respect to the Company’s corporate governance processes and in reviewing related person transactions.

Each of these committees reports regularly to the Board on these risk-related matters. The Board and its committees also receive regular reports from management that include matters affecting the Company’s risk profile, including, among other things, operations reports from the Chief Executive Officer and from other senior members of management, all of which include strategic and operational risks; reports from the Chief Financial Officer on credit and liquidity risks and on the integrity of internal control over financial reporting; and reports from the General Counsel on legal risks and material litigation. In addition, the Company has an enterprise risk management program that seeks to identify and manage risk throughout the Company by having its Chief Financial Officer annually meet with members of each of the Company’s various departments to solicit feedback regarding risks affecting the Company. Based on these meetings, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer generates a risk assessment report that is presented to the Board. Further, since assessing risk is an ongoing process and integral to the Company’s strategic decisions, the Board discusses risk throughout the year at its meetings in relation to long-term and short-term business goals and actions. Outside of formal meetings, Board members have regular access to our executive officers. The Company believes that the above reporting processes collectively provide the Board with integrated insight into the Company’s management of its risks.

While the Company does not currently maintain a written succession plan with respect to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee will review periodically succession planning for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and others, and report to the independent directors on these reviews.

The Company believes that its board leadership structure, discussed in detail above, supports the risk oversight function of the Board. While the Company has a combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Lead Independent Director and independent committee chairs are actively involved in risk oversight, and there is open communication between management and directors regarding risk oversight.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Company’s commitment to good corporate governance is reflected in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which describe the Board’s views on a wide range of governance topics, including, but not limited to, director independence standards and other qualifications, executive sessions of non-management directors and independent directors, director compensation and stock ownership guidelines, and annual self- evaluations of the Board. The Board, with assistance from its Nominating and Governance Committee, regularly assesses the Company’s governance practices in light of legal requirements and governance best practices.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the charters of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee, and other information are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com. Any stockholder also may request them in print, without charge, by contacting the Company’s Corporate Secretary at OUTFRONT Media Inc., 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10174.

Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all executive officers, employees and directors of the Company. In addition, the Company has adopted a Supplemental Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. Both the Code of Conduct and the Supplemental Code of Ethics are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code of Conduct or the Supplemental Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, and relates to any element of the definition of code of ethics set forth in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K, by posting such information on our website at www.outfrontmedia.com.

Audit Committee	Joseph H. Wender, Chair Peter Mathes Susan M. Tolson
Compensation Committee*	Peter Mathes, Chair Nicolas Brien Joseph H. Wender
Nominating and Governance Committee	Susan M. Tolson, Chair Manuel A. Diaz Joseph H. Wender

*

Ms. Courtin will be appointed to the Compensation Committee effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. At the same time, Mr. Wender will no longer serve on the Compensation Committee.

Audit Committee

As more fully described in its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•

the appointment, retention, termination, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor, which reports directly to the Audit Committee, and the sole authority to pre-approve all services provided by the independent auditor;

•

reviewing and discussing the Company’s annual audited financial statements, quarterly financial statements and earnings releases with the Company’s management and its independent auditor;

•

reviewing the organization, responsibilities, audit plan and results of the internal audit function; reviewing with management, the internal auditor and the independent auditor, the quality, adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and risk management procedures;

•

reviewing with management material legal matters and the effectiveness of the Company’s procedures to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and

•

overseeing the Company’s compliance program and obtaining periodic reports from the Co-Chief Compliance Officers.

The Board has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are financially literate under the NYSE listing standards, and that Messrs. Mathes and Wender and Ms. Tolson qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as defined under the applicable SEC rules based on their experience. The Board has also determined that Messrs. Mathes and Wender and Ms. Tolson meet the independence requirements applicable to audit committee members under the NYSE listing standards and the applicable SEC rules.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE listing standards. A copy of the charter of the Audit Committee is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com. During 2016, the Audit Committee held five meetings.

Compensation Committee

As more fully described in its charter, the Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to Chief Executive Officer compensation, and evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives;

•

reviewing and approving compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers and other senior executives;

•

evaluating and making recommendations to the Board regarding equity-based and cash incentive compensation plans;

12

•

reviewing and approving equity-based compensation awards; and

•

adopting and periodically reviewing the Company’s philosophy, strategy and principles regarding the design and administration of the Company’s compensation programs.

In accordance with its written charter, the Compensation Committee has the power to delegate its authority and duties to subcommittees or individuals as it deems appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board delegated to our Chief Executive Officer limited authority to grant long-term equity incentive awards pursuant to the OUTFRONT Media Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP”) to executives who are not senior executives in connection with their hiring, promotion or contract renewal. The delegation also requires that our Chief Executive Officer report to the Board periodically on his exercise of this delegated authority. In October 2015, the Compensation Committee delegated to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee (the “Executive Compensation Subcommittee”), the limited authority to review and approve, on behalf of the Compensation Committee, the following: (1) total compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers, including cash-based and equity-based incentive compensation for the Company’s “covered employees,” as defined in Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Company’s officers and directors subject to Section 16 (“Section 16”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (2) the Company’s performance metrics and goals in connection with such cash-based and equity-based incentive compensation, including the written certification of the satisfaction of such metrics and goals; and (3) any other compensation provided to the Company’s “covered employees” and the Company’s officers and directors subject to Section 16 for purposes of compliance with Section 162(m) and Section 16. The Executive Compensation Subcommittee reported to the Compensation Committee periodically on its exercise of this delegated authority from October 2015 through October 2016. In October 2016, the Compensation Committee determined that a delegation to the Executive Compensation Sub-Committee was no longer necessary, and withdrew its delegation.

In addition, the Compensation Committee is empowered to retain compensation consultants to assist the Compensation Committee in evaluating executive officer and employee compensation. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate such consultants and to review and approve such consultants’ fees and other retention terms. For 2016 compensation, the Compensation Committee engaged ClearBridge Compensation Group (“ClearBridge”) to advise the Compensation Committee regarding the amount and types of compensation that we provide to our executive officers and directors and how our compensation practices compared to the compensation practices of peer companies. ClearBridge does not provide any services to us other than the services provided to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviewed its relationship with ClearBridge, considered ClearBridge’s independence and the existence of potential conflicts of interest, and determined that the engagement of ClearBridge did not raise any conflict of interest or other issues that would adversely impact ClearBridge’s independence. In reaching this conclusion, the Compensation Committee considered various factors, including the six factors set forth in the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules governing compensation advisor conflicts of interest and independence.

The Compensation Committee (or the Executive Compensation Subcommittee, as applicable) reviews all components of senior executives’ compensation, including base salary, annual and long-term incentives. In approving compensation for the senior executives (other than our Chief Executive Officer), the Compensation Committee considers the input and recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the senior executives’ performances. With respect to our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves goals and objectives relevant to his compensation and annually evaluates the performance of our Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives. The results of these evaluations are then reported to the independent directors. The Compensation Committee sets compensation for our Chief Executive Officer taking these evaluations into account. In determining the long- term incentive component of our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, the Compensation Committee considers, without limitation, the Company’s financial performance, relative stockholder return, the value of incentive awards to executives in similar positions at comparable companies, and the awards given to our Chief Executive Officer in past years. The Compensation Committee then reports to the Board on the process for setting compensation for our Chief Executive Officer. For further information regarding the Company’s processes and procedures for the consideration of executive compensation, as well as director compensation, see the sections entitled “Executive Compensation,” “— Nominating and Governance Committee,” and “— Director Compensation.”

The Board has determined that Messrs. Brien, Mathes and Wender meet the independence requirements applicable to compensation committee members under the NYSE listing standards and the applicable SEC rules, and are also “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) and “non-employee directors” for purposes of Section 16. Mr. Apfelbaum served on the Compensation Committee from June 2015 through June 2016 and met the independence requirements applicable to compensation committee members under the NYSE listing standards and the applicable SEC rules throughout his tenure on the Compensation Committee.

13

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE listing standards. A copy of the charter of the Compensation Committee is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com. During 2016, the Compensation Committee held four meetings and acted by unanimous written consent one time. During 2016, the Executive Compensation Subcommittee met two times and acted by unanimous written consent one time.

Nominating and Governance Committee

As more fully described in its charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•

identifying and recommending to the Board individuals qualified to become board members;

•

developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance guidelines;

•

in collaboration with the Lead Independent Director, lead the evaluation of the Board and Board committees;

•

making recommendations to the Board on director compensation matters;

•

monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance; and

•

reviewing transactions between the Company and related persons.

The Board has determined that Ms. Tolson and Messrs. Diaz and Wender meet the independence requirements applicable to nominating and governance committee members under the NYSE listing standards and the applicable SEC rules.

The Nominating and Governance Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE listing standards. A copy of the charter of the Nominating and Governance Committee is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com. During 2016, the Nominating and Governance Committee held five meetings.

Policy Regarding Director Nominations

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding nominations of candidates for election as a director of the Company. The Nominating and Governance Committee works with the Board to annually review the composition of the Board in light of the characteristics of independence, diversity, age, skills, experience, availability of service to the Company, tenure of incumbent directors on the Board and the Board’s anticipated needs. The Nominating and Governance Committee will recommend director candidates to the Board in accordance with the criteria, policies and principles set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, in evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account factors such as the individual’s accomplishments in his or her professional background, current or former leadership positions held by the individual, whether the individual is able to make independent, analytical inquiries and exhibit practical wisdom and mature judgment, other directorships held by the individual, and other relevant factors. Directors of the Company are also expected to possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and be committed to promoting the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. As part of its review, the Nominating and Governance Committee also considers diversity, including the individual’s professional background, gender and ethnicity, among other characteristics. As a result of considering diversity as part of its nomination process, multiple industries are represented on the Board, including law, advertising, media and marketing, investment management and banking, among others. Additionally, distinguished contributors to governmental and not-for-profit organizations also serve on the Board, as well as two female directors, one of which is a member of the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender community, and one Hispanic director. After taking these considerations into account, the Nominating and Governance Committee determined to recommend to the Board that Messrs. Male and Wender, Class III members of the Board, be nominated to stand for election at the Annual Meeting.

A stockholder that wants to recommend a candidate for election to the Board must send a written notice to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at OUTFRONT Media Inc., 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10174 in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Bylaws. See “Stockholder Proposals for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.” The Company’s Corporate Secretary will review the information received about the stockholder candidate and determine whether such person meets the qualifications for the Company’s directors set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. If the stockholder candidate does meet such qualifications and the notice satisfies the requirements of the Bylaws, the information on the stockholder candidate

14

will be forwarded to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, who will present the information on the stockholder candidate to the entire Nominating and Governance Committee. Director candidates recommended by stockholders will be considered by the Board in the same manner as any other candidate.

Board and Committee Self-Assessments

Pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards, the Board and its committees each conduct a self-evaluation at least annually. Our processes enable directors to provide anonymous and confidential feedback, which is then reviewed and addressed by the independent directors led by the Lead Independent Director. In addition, each committee’s chair reviews the feedback with each of their respective Committees in order to promote the effectiveness of the Board and each committee.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders and other parties interested in contacting the Company’s non-management directors may send an email to nonmanagementdirectors@outfrontmedia.com, or write to Non-Management Directors, OUTFRONT Media Inc., 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10174. The non-management directors’ contact information is also available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com. The independent directors have approved the process for handling communications received in this manner.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

From June 2016 through October 2016, the members of the Compensation Committee were Messrs. Mathes and Brien. From October 2016 through the end of the year, the members of the Compensation Committee were Messrs. Mathes, Brien and Wender.

Mr. Apfelbaum is the sole member of First Trilogy LLC (“First Trilogy”), which provided finders and consulting services to Videri Inc. (“Videri”) in connection with Videri and an affiliate of Videri entering into a Development and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with the Company on December 1, 2014. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company agreed to issue approximately 926,616 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at $25.0 million based on an agreed price under the License Agreement) to Videri and an affiliate of Videri, upon the satisfaction of certain milestones. To date, the Company has issued approximately 596,741 shares of its common stock to Videri and an affiliate of Videri, paid approximately $3.4 million in cash to Videri instead of issuing 148,257 shares of the Company’s common stock for the satisfaction of one milestone under the License Agreement, and invested $3.0 million in Videri for a minority interest. Pursuant to First Trilogy’s finder’s and consulting agreement with Videri, First Trilogy is entitled to receive approximately 46,330 shares of the Company’s common stock from Videri (which equals approximately $1,230,062 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on March 31, 2017)), as well as a portion of any cash paid to Videri instead of issuing shares of the Company’s common stock, as a finder’s fee, of which approximately 29,835 shares have been issued to First Trilogy and approximately $170,000 in cash has been paid to First Trilogy, as of March 31, 2017, and is entitled to receive a portion of the free cash flow, if any, that Videri receives from the project under the License Agreement in the future.

Director Compensation

The Nominating and Governance Committee periodically reviews and recommends for the Board’s approval the form and amount of compensation for directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (“Outside Directors”). Only Outside Directors are eligible to receive compensation for serving on the Board. In accordance with the charter of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee, with input from the Compensation Committee, is guided by three principles in its review of Outside Director compensation and benefits: (1) Outside Directors should be fairly compensated for the services they provide to the Company, taking into account, among other things, the size and complexity of the Company’s business and compensation and benefits paid to directors of comparable companies; (2) Outside Directors’ interests should be aligned with the interests of stockholders; and (3) Outside Directors’ compensation should be easy for stockholders to understand.

15

Accordingly, the compensation program for Outside Directors currently consists of  (1) cash compensation in the form of annual Board, committee chair, committee member and Lead Independent Director retainers and (2) equity compensation in the form of an annual restricted share unit (“RSU”) grant (or a pro-rated RSU grant if the Outside Director joined the Board following the date of the annual RSU grant, but during 2016).

Cash Compensation

Each Outside Director is entitled to receive the following cash compensation determined by the Board:

•

A $70,000 annual board retainer, payable in equal quarterly installments in advance;

•

An additional $20,000 annual committee chair retainer for the chair of each committee, payable in equal quarterly installments in advance;

•

An additional $10,000 committee member retainer fee for each committee on which an Outside Director serves, payable in equal quarterly installments in advance; and

•

An additional $20,000 annual retainer for the Company’s Lead Independent Director, payable in equal quarterly installments in advance.

Equity Compensation

Each Outside Director is entitled to receive the following awards under the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP:

•

an automatic annual grant of RSUs with a value of  $120,000 based on the closing price of shares of our stock on the NYSE on the date of grant, which RSUs will generally vest one year from the date of grant, with dividend equivalents accruing on such RSUs in the amounts equal to the regular cash dividends paid on our common stock and such accrued dividend equivalents shall convert to shares of our common stock on the date of vesting; and

•

a pro-rated RSU grant if he or she joins the Board following the date of the annual RSU grant, but during the calendar year of the grant.

Expenses

Members of the Board are reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending Board, committee and stockholder meetings (including travel and lodging).

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that non-employee directors are expected to own shares of our common stock having a market value of at least three times their annual cash retainer, within three years of becoming a director. This stock ownership expectation helps to align the interests of our directors with those of the Company’s stockholders. As of or prior to December 31, 2016, pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, all directors have met the stock ownership guidelines through either direct ownership of shares of our common stock, or, in accordance with the Nominating and Governance Committee’s discretionary authority to consider additional factors when evaluating compliance with the Company’s director stock ownership guidelines, a combination of direct ownership of shares of our common stock and unvested RSUs.

($ millions)	2016
​	Revenues			AFFO*			Adjusted OIBDA**
​	​	$	1,514	​	$	295	​	$	449

We calculate and define “AFFO” as funds from operations (which reflects net income (loss) adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the non-cash effect of loss on real estate assets held for sale, and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable) adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs and cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures, and exclude restructuring charges, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent and amortization of deferred financing costs, and the non-cash portion of the income taxes, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable.

**

We calculate and define “Adjusted OIBDA” as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and loss on real estate assets held for sale.

18

We were pleased with many aspects of our 2016 financial performance, and would like to highlight several significant milestones of 2016:

✓

We completed several strategic acquisitions in certain markets for a total purchase price of approximately $68 million

✓

We completed the disposition of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America

✓

We built or converted 76 new digital billboard displays and deployed ON Smart Media displays in strategic locations, such as in the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority system, and the Minneapolis and St. Paul skyway systems

✓

We renewed or acquired contracts in our transit business, such as the advertising rights on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority transit system and buses operated by the City of Los Angeles and Long Beach Transit, as well as in our sports marketing business

✓

We paid cash dividends of  $188.6 million in 2016

✓

We implemented initiatives to improve our cost base and pricing/yield management

For reconciliations of Adjusted OIBDA (as described above) and AFFO (as described above) to operating income (loss) and net income (loss), respectively, see the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Key Performance Indicators,” on pages 38-42 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our Compensation Philosophy

We strive to have a compensation philosophy that is flexible and aligned with our human resources and business strategies. From time to time, the Committee and management team review and consider changes to the philosophy to ensure it is reasonable and market-competitive. Our compensation consultant, who advised us on the compensation philosophy during 2016, is supportive of these key tenets.

In summary, our compensation philosophy is to deliver compensation programs that support the Company’s attraction, motivation and retention objectives, while aligning executives’ interests with the goal of creating long-term sustainable stockholder value. The table below illustrates a number of key elements that are reflected in our current philosophy.

Elements of Our Philosophy	Summary of Philosophy
Considerations for Setting Pay Opportunities	✓ Position/responsibilities ✓ Contribution/criticality to the organization ✓ Individual performance/potential and historical pay ✓ Internal equity ✓ Company performance ✓ External market ✓ Existing contractual obligations
Desired Market Positioning	✓ We do not explicitly target a given percentile of the market ✓ We generally consider using the market median as a general reference point with respect to each element of target total direct compensation (base salary, target annual incentives and grant-date value of long-term incentive opportunities)
Market Sources for Compensation Reference	✓ We focus primarily on a peer group of media-related companies to provide relevant market context for assessing our compensation program, along with analyzing relevant market compensation surveys to supplement the peer data ✓ Given that the Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), we also compare compensation practices to REIT industry practices to provide additional context when reviewing our compensation program

19

Elements of Our Philosophy	Summary of Philosophy
Mix of Pay	✓ The majority of executive compensation should be “at risk” and subject to financial metrics (see charts below for more detail)

In addition, the Committee was guided by the following principles with respect to 2016 compensation decisions:

✓

Generally maintain constant levels of target cash compensation, using market data as a reference point to understand the general market

✓

Increase use of equity to encourage long-term focus on stockholder value

✓

Generally maintain current compensation structure with minimal modifications that reflect REIT and publicly-traded company status

Key Pay Elements and Alignment with Company Performance

The following chart summarizes the key pay elements for our NEOs, their purpose and how each pay element links Company performance. See “— Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of 2016 NEO Compensation” below for additional detail.

20

Compensation Mix

To help ensure management’s interests are aligned with those of stockholders and their compensation reflects the performance of the Company, a substantial portion of our NEOs’ compensation is at risk, and will vary above or below target levels commensurate with Company performance. The chart below shows the percentage of our NEOs’ 2016 target compensation that was performance-based and at risk.

*

Average includes the following NEOs: Messrs. Shassian, Punter, Sriubas and Sauer.

Summary of Our Executive Compensation Practices

The table below highlights certain executive compensation practices we have implemented that drive performance as well as those not implemented because we do not believe they would serve our stockholders’ interests:

What We DO

✓

Tie pay to performance by ensuring that a significant portion of executive pay is performance-based and at risk; 76% of the CEO’s 2016 compensation and, on average, 69% of the other NEOs’ compensation, is performance-based and at risk

✓

Require significant stock ownership guidelines to ensure directors and executives have long-term stockholder alignmentü Conduct an annual compensation program risk assessment

✓

Mitigate undue risk in compensation programs through informed performance goal-setting that considered multiple financial and non-financial inputs

✓

Retain the services of an independent compensation consultant

✓

Generally consider market and industry data when setting executive pay, using the median as a reference point to understand the general market

✓

Provide for accelerated equity vesting for plan participants and non-equity severance benefits for our executive officers upon a change in control, with “double triggers”

✓

Maintain an anti-hedging policy that prohibits our directors, executive officers, employees and their related persons from trading in derivative instruments with respect to the Company’s securities or selling the Company’s securities “short”

✓

Prohibit our directors, executive officers and their related persons from pledging the Company’s securities as collateral for loans or for any other purpose, except in limited circumstances, such as financial hardship, at the discretion of the Company’s General Counsel

What We DON’T DO

×

Provide excessive perquisites

×

Offer a pension or supplemental executive retirement plan

×

Reprice underwater stock options without stockholder approval

×

Reward executives without a link to performance

×

Provide excise tax gross-ups

2016 Say-on-Pay and Frequency of Say-on-Pay Outcome

We held a non-binding advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of our NEOs, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote, at our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 97% of the votes cast were cast in favor of the “say-on-pay” proposal. The Committee considered the result of this advisory vote to be an endorsement of our executive compensation program, policies, practices and philosophy. The Committee will continue to consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes when making future executive compensation decisions for our NEOs.

In light of the voting results with respect to the frequency of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, the Board has determined that the Company will hold future non-binding advisory votes of stockholders to approve the compensation of the NEOs every year until the next non-binding advisory vote of stockholders on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation in 2021, or until the Board otherwise determines a different frequency for such non-binding advisory votes.

Evaluating 2016 Compensation and the Use of Market Data

In 2016, the Committee engaged ClearBridge to advise the Committee regarding the amount and types of compensation that we provide to our executive officers and directors and how our compensation practices compared to the compensation practices of peer companies. See “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance — Board Committees — Compensation Committee” for further information regarding our engagement of ClearBridge.

In making its compensation determinations for fiscal year 2016, the Committee relied on publicly available information for a select group of U.S.-based publicly-traded media peer companies as the primary data source. The peer group was selected by the Committee based on recommendations provided by ClearBridge. The Committee expects to review and approve the compensation peer group annually. The compensation peer group was determined based on the following criteria:

✓

Business Criteria: companies in the media industry with a meaningful portion of revenue from advertising sales as determined by an evaluation of such companies’ public disclosures.

✓

Size Criteria: Companies comparable to the Company’s revenue size (for example, companies with revenue of  $500 million to $3.5 billion), with a secondary focus on market capitalization

In 2016, the Committee reviewed the compensation peer group and removed AOL Inc. and Lin Media LLC because both companies underwent transactions and were no longer stand-alone public companies. The Committee added Media General Inc. because it met the selection criteria described above. Following these modifications, the compensation peer group comprises the following 14 companies:

Company	Trailing 12-Month Revenue(1)			Market Capitalization(1)
OUTFRONT Media Inc.	​	$	1,514	​	$	3,479
Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc.	​	$	3,401	​	$	9,344
IAC/InterActiveCorp	​	$	3,140	​	$	5,347
Time Inc.	​	$	3,081	​	$	1,783
AMC Networks Inc.	​	$	2,756	​	$	3,771

Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc.	​	$	2,702	​	$	1,782
Meredith Corporation	​	$	1,701	​	$	2,570
The New York Times Company	​	$	1,555	​	$	2,167
Lamar Advertising Company	​	$	1,500	​	$	6,616
Cumulus Media Inc.	​	$	1,151	​	$	32
Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc.	​	$	1,103	​	$	1,929
The E. W. Scripps Company	​	$	943	​	$	1,612
Media General, Inc.(2)	​	$	1,449	​	$	2,383
The Madison Square Garden Company(3)	​	$	1,622	​	$	6,440

(1)

As of January 3, 2017. Dollars in millions.

(2)

Media General Inc. merged with Nexstar Broadcasting Group in 2017, and is no longer a stand-alone public company. The financial information reported is as of September 30, 2016.

(3)

The Madison Square Garden Company underwent a spin-off in October 2015 into MSG and MSG Networks. The financial information reported is as of June 30, 2015.

22

The Company strives to maintain a reasonable competitive positioning relative to the peer group and secondary compensation sources, such as published survey data. Although the Company does not use benchmarking to evaluate its executive compensation, it does use market data as an initial reference point to understand the general market. Analyzed data is scoped to the Company’s revenue size and aged to a common date to ensure comparability. In 2016, the Committee reviewed data from the Willis Towers Watson Executive General Industry Survey and the Willis Towers Watson Executive Media Industry Survey. No one company in these surveys was relied upon with respect to determining any of the Company’s compensation decisions. Because the Company is structured as a REIT, the Committee also considered pay practices among specialty REITs of comparable size to that of the Company based on revenue and market capitalization, similar to the size criteria used for the media peer group described above. In 2016, the Committee also modified the group of specialty REITs by adding Plum Creek Timber and removing Rayonier, Inc. Following this modification, the REIT comparison group included the following specialty REITS: Crown Castle International Corp., GEO Group Inc., Corrections Corp. of America, Digital Realty Trust, Plum Creek Timber Co., and CBL & Associates Properties.

23

Elements of 2016 NEO Compensation

Consistent with 2015, NEO compensation included the following compensation elements:

✓

Base salary

✓

Performance-based compensation:

◦

Executive cash bonus plan

◦

Long-term equity incentive compensation

✓

Retirement plans

✓

Other compensation (personal benefits)

The Committee considered each of the above elements from the perspective of design and pay level as it reviewed and established NEO compensation in 2016. Neither the Company nor the Committee used explicit guidelines in determining the mix of compensation elements for the NEOs. However, as described above, the Committee managed the pay programs so that a majority of compensation was both at risk and subject to performance conditions.

During 2016, we were a party to employment agreements with all of our NEOs. For a description of the terms and provisions of these employment agreements, see “— Employment Agreements.”

Base Salary

We annually review the base salaries of our NEOs in light of performance factors (Company and individual) and market compensation practices. The Committee reviews compensation analysis and data provided by our compensation consultant, ClearBridge.

Messrs. Male, Shassian and Sauer entered into employment agreements with the Company in late 2013 or early 2014. Messrs. Sriubas and Punter entered into employment agreements with the Company in July 2014 and October 2014, respectively.

The base salaries provided to Messrs. Male, Shassian, Sriubas and Punter were not increased in 2016 because the Committee determined that their respective current base salaries were within the market median. Effective April 1, 2016, the Committee, in its discretion, increased Mr. Sauer’s annual salary from $475,000 to $500,000 because the Committee determined that Mr. Sauer’s base salary was well below the market median. See “— Employment Agreements.”

Name	���	2015 Salary	2016 Salary	Change
Jeremy J. Male	​	$1,350,000	$1,350,000	0%
Donald R. Shassian	​	$650,000	$650,000	0%
Clive Punter	​	$550,000	$550,000	0%
Andrew R. Sriubas	​	$550,000	$550,000	0%
Richard H. Sauer	​	$475,000	$500,000	5%

In late 2016 and early 2017, Messrs. Shassian and Sauer entered into new employment agreements, each effective in 2017. See “— Employment Agreements.”

Performance-Based Compensation — Executive Cash Bonus Plan

Overview

Ultimately, the goal of the plan is to reward behaviors that create value for our stockholders. More specifically, the OUTFRONT Media Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan (the “Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan”) is designed to motivate NEOs to:

✓

Grow top line revenue

✓

Manage and control costs

✓

Achieve rigorous individual goals that are linked to our strategic plan

24

These behaviors are measured through financial metrics, and, to a lesser extent, qualitative metrics as illustrated in the table below.

Metric	Weighting	Payout Downside (% of Target)	Payout Upside (% of Target)
Financial Performance: Weighted Average Achievement of Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO	67% (75% Adjusted OIBDA, 25% AFFO)	50%	200%
Individual Performance	33%

The Company continues to use Adjusted OIBDA as a metric because it remains an important indicator of the Company’s operational strength and performance of our businesses, as it provides a link between profitability and operating cash flow. The Company uses AFFO as the second metric because, like Adjusted OIBDA, management uses AFFO in managing the business and it is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. We believe the Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO metrics provide a more meaningful comparison of our Company’s operating performance to other companies in our industry as well as to REITs. Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO were selected and approved by the Committee as metrics for the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan. These metrics are seen as critical to our long-term strategic plan, and are the most prominent two metrics tracked by our management and the investment community.

How the Plan Works

The Committee has a process in place for setting goals and evaluating performance under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan. Based on the advice of our compensation consultant, the Committee chose to set the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan thresholds, targets and maximums for fiscal year 2016 using budgeted earnings estimates, which consider macroeconomic factors, analyst estimates and projected out-of-home advertising industry growth, as well as the Company’s financial and operational performance.

25

For purposes of Section 162(m), the Committee uses a two-step approach to determine the amount of bonuses paid to NEOs. The first step is to fund the overall bonus pool, which occurs if the Company achieves pre-determined performance thresholds. The second step is for the Committee to exercise negative discretion to reflect Company and individual performance. This process is depicted in the flow-chart below.

26

Determining the 2016 Payout

The chart below summarizes the Committee’s review of 2016 performance and the resulting Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan payouts.

Payout Funding

Threshold Performance Achieved ✓ In 2016, the minimum threshold goal was achieved. Adjusted OIBDA achievement for cash bonus plan purposes was $443.7 million, which was (a) greater than 50% of budgeted Adjusted OIBDA ($232.50 million) and (b) $71.7 million above the threshold requirement of $372.0 million. AFFO achievement for cash bonus plan purposes was $283.4 million, which was $55.4 million above the threshold requirement of  $228 million.

Financial Performance

As noted previously, 67% of the NEOs’ annual cash bonus payout is based on the weighted average achievement of Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO, 75% and 25% respectively, under the Committee’s use of negative discretion. The table below depicts the (1) threshold, target and maximum performance amounts used to guide negative discretion, (2) actual performance achievement for 2016 for these underlying metrics and (3) the resulting weighted average performance achievement for 2016 for financial performance.

Dollars in millions. For purposes of calculating Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO actual, threshold, target and maximum performance amounts, the Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO metrics, which are defined and described in the section entitled “— Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Executive Summary — 2016 Company Performance Highlights,” were further adjusted to exclude certain acquisitions and, with respect to AFFO only, exclude deferred income taxes and include the corresponding non-cash portion of income taxes.

For 2016, the financial weighted average achievement of Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO was 96.4%, which resulted in funding a bonus pool for our NEO’s. The Committee then applied the weighted average achievement of both metrics against a pre-defined bonus payout scale approved by the Committee in early 2016. Our pre-defined bonus payout scale applies an increased payout of 25% for every 2.5% weighted average achievement above target, and a decreased payout of 12.5% for every 5% weighted average achievement below target. If the performance achievement results in a percentage between two performance levels on the scale, the bonus payout is interpolated. Since the financial weighted average achievement for 2016 was at 96.4%, applying interpolation, the bonus payout was funded at 91%.

Actual Individual Performance Results

In early 2017, Mr. Male reviewed and assessed the performance of each other NEO relative to the Company performance objectives outlined below, which were established in early 2016. Mr. Male then discussed his assessment of each NEO’s performance with the Committee. The Committee also formally assessed Mr. Male’s performance against his pre-established individual objectives as part of this process. The Committee then met in executive session to consider Mr. Male’s recommendations and to make final payout determinations. The NEO and Company performance objectives in 2016 were as follows:

✓

Strategic acquisitions

✓

The preparation for and submission of responses to the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s request for proposals

✓

Static billboard to digital conversions and deployment of new digital displays

✓

Technology enhancements of our business, assets and products

✓

Implementation of initiatives to address cost savings and revenue enhancements

27

After reviewing Mr. Male’s recommendations, the Committee, using negative discretion, determined that for the 33% individual performance component of each NEO’s annual bonus, the funding would be set at the same funding level as the 91% financial performance component because the Committee believes that the NEOs equally collaborate on the Company’s performance objectives, and their respective individual performances are tied to the Company’s financial performance.

2016 Final Payouts

The actual 2016 performance bonus paid to each NEO under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan for 2016 is as follows:

In 2016, the Committee, in its discretion, increased Mr. Sauer’s annual target bonus opportunity from 50% to 60% of his annual salary based on a competitive market review. See “— Employment Agreements.”

Performance-Based Compensation — Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

The Company provides long-term equity incentive compensation to the NEOs that is intended to:

✓

Balance stockholder alignment, line-of-sight to critical financial metrics and long-term retention

✓

Reflect typical market practice of our peer group

✓

Align with our stated pay-for-performance compensation philosophy

The Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation is comprised of two separate components:

Type of Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation	Weighting	Overview	Rationale
PRSUs	60%	✓ Earned based on one-year Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO performance weighted 75% and 25%, respectively ✓ Any earned PRSUs are also subject to ratable vesting over a three-year period following the year of grant	✓ Based on financial metrics that are (1) directly linked to stock price growth, (2) market-competitive, and (3) well understood by management ✓ Provides alignment with stockholders ✓ Fosters retention
TRSUs	40%	✓ Vests ratably over a three-year period following the year of grant	✓ Provides alignment with stockholders ✓ Fosters retention

28

Similar to 2015, on February 18, 2016, the Company made a grant of PRSUs to its NEOs. The PRSUs are subject to pre-established levels of AFFO and Adjusted OBIDA that were approved by the Committee. The PRSUs are fully at risk, in that they are not eligible to vest unless the target Adjusted OIBDA for 2016 exceeds 50%. The number of PRSUs to be awarded is then determined based on the Company achieving an 80% or greater weighted average achievement of a combination of target Adjusted OIBDA (weighing 75%), and target AFFO (weighing 25%). The table below illustrates the pay and performance schedule applicable to the 2016 grant of PRSUs. The Company applies a straight-line interpolation methodology for performance between 80% and 110% of target.

Performance and Payout Schedule	Level of Performance (Relative to Target Performance)		Level of Payout (Relative to Target # of PRSUs Granted)
Below Threshold	​	< 80%	​	0%
Threshold	​	80%	​	60%
Target	​	100%	​	100%
Maximum	​	≥ 110%	​	120%

The Committee considered a number of factors when establishing each NEO’s 2016 total grant value:

✓

Recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer (excluding for his own role) based on the Company performance objectives described above

✓

Market data and consultation provided by ClearBridge

✓

Existing contractual obligations through employment agreements

✓

Potential levels of dilution

✓

Internal equity amongst the NEO group

✓

The desire to shift to place more emphasis on long-term incentives from a pay mix perspective

The table below provides the total 2016 grant-date value and the number of target PRSUs and TRSUs that were granted to each NEO.

NEO	Total 2016 Grant Value			Number of Units Granted in 2016
				Target PRSUs		TRSUs
Jeremy J. Male	​	$	3,000,000	​	94,687	​	63,124
Donald R. Shassian	​	$	1,700,000	​	53,655	​	35,770
Clive Punter	​	$	750,000	​	23,671	​	15,781
Andrew R. Sriubas	​	$	750,000	​	23,671	​	15,781
Richard H. Sauer*	​	$	600,000	​	18,937	​	12,624

*

In 2016, the Committee, in its discretion, increased the target value of Mr. Sauer’s long-term equity incentive compensation from $500,000 to $600,000 based on a competitive market review. See “— Employment Agreements.”

In February 2017, the Committee determined the requisite threshold level of AFFO and Adjusted OIBDA performance was attained (as described above for the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan for 2016) and, accordingly, the number of PRSUs actually earned based on our performance relative to the performance goals established by the Committee for the 2016 calendar year. The number of shares earned upon vesting of the PRSUs is determined in accordance with the following schedule:

Percentage Attainment of Weighted Average Performance Target	Number of Eligible PRSUs
Less than 80%	None; the PRSUs are forfeited
Equal to or greater than 80%	60% of the PRSU grant
Equal to or greater than 100%	100% of the PRSU grant
Equal to or greater than 110%	120% of the PRSU grant

For achievement at intermediate points between 80% and 100% and between 100% and 110%, the number of shares to be delivered is interpolated. For 2016, we achieved 96.4% of the target weighted average achievement of a combination of Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO, which resulted in final PRSUs eligible to vest in 2016 at 93% of target

29

PRSUs. This outcome reflects the interpolated result from applying the weighted average achievement of both metrics against our pre-defined equity payout scales. The table below sets forth the number of PRSUs earned in 2016 and eligible to vest in accordance with the time-based vesting schedule described below.

NEO	Target Number of PRSUs in 2016		Actual Number of PRSUs Earned Based on 2016 Performance
Jeremy J. Male	​	94,687	​	88,060
Donald R. Shassian	​	53,655	​	49,902
Clive Punter	​	23,671	​	22,015
Andrew R. Sriubas	​	23,671	​	22,015
Richard H. Sauer	​	18,937	​	17,614

The TRSUs and the earned PRSUs generally vest in equal installments on each of February 18, 2017, 2018, and 2019 subject to each NEO’s respective continued employment through the applicable vesting date and the terms of his employment agreement and/or equity award. If we pay regular cash dividends with respect to our common stock, the holders of TRSUs and PRSUs will be eligible for dividend equivalent payments in shares of our common stock when and to the extent that the related TRSUs or PRSUs vest and are settled.

Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company maintains a broad-based tax-qualified defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”) and a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Excess 401(k) Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2014. During 2016, we provided participating NEOs with matching contributions in the 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan as we believe this benefit is reasonable and market-competitive.

Information regarding the participation by our NEOs in the Excess 401(k) Plan is set forth in the 2016 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table and the narratives following this table. The Excess 401(k) Plan provides our senior executives with the opportunity to save for retirement beyond the qualified plan limitations.

Other Compensation (Other Personal Benefits)

Pursuant to Mr. Punter’s employment agreement, he was eligible to receive certain contractual travel benefits, including up to $40,000 for travel expenses to and from the United Kingdom to visit family during 2016. To the extent any of the payments made to Mr. Punter are taxable, the Company will make an additional payment to him in an amount that, after payment of all taxes payable by him with respect to the additional payment, will equal the amount of all taxes payable by him with respect to the related reimbursement. Other than as described above for Mr. Punter, our NEOs do not receive any other perquisites or personal benefits. See “— Employment Agreements” and “— 2016 Summary Compensation Table.”

Stock Ownership Guidelines

To better align the interests of our executive team with those of our stockholders, we formally adopted stock ownership guidelines for executive officers in October 2015. Ownership in the Company is evidence of the confidence our executives have in the Company’s long-term performance.

✓

Chief Executive Officer: 5x base salary

✓

Chief Financial Officer: 3x base salary

✓

Other executive officers: 2x base salary

Shares considered “owned” for purposes of complying with the stock ownership guidelines are:

✓

Shares of stock owned individually or jointly, or in trusts owned by the executive

✓

TRSUs

✓

PRSUs once performance level and number of PRSUs earned have been determined

Each executive officer has five years from the time he becomes subject to the ownership guidelines to meet the guideline. Once the executive’s qualified holdings reach the guideline, the executive will be deemed to have met the guideline going forward. The executive will need to maintain a level of ownership in either the number of shares held when the guideline was met (to mitigate the need to increase the number of shares owned when there is a reduction in the share price) or the current dollar guideline (to have the ability to reduce the number of shares when the share price increases). Management will present a progress report annually to the Committee regarding ownership levels.

30

As of December 31, 2016, Messrs. Male, Punter, Sauer, Shassian and Sriubas had met their respective ownership guidelines.

Compensation Deductibility Policy

Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits to $1 million the federal tax deductibility of compensation paid in one year to the Chief Executive Officer and the three most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Chief Financial Officer) employed by us at the end of the year. Compensation that satisfies the Code’s requirements for “performance-based compensation” is not subject to this deduction limitation. Our Committee considers deductibility as just one factor in determining the form and terms of compensation we provide. In certain circumstances, the Committee may decide to grant compensation that will not qualify as “performance-based” for purposes of Section 162(m), including when, in the Committee’s judgment, certain compensation is needed to achieve the Committee’s overall compensation objectives.

We reserve the right to award compensation that does not qualify as “performance-based” for purposes of Section 162(m), including under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan and the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP. Moreover, even if the Committee intends to grant compensation that qualifies as “performance-based” for purposes of Section 162(m), we cannot guarantee that such compensation will so qualify or ultimately will be deductible.

Compensation Risk Assessment

In 2016, as part of the Company’s enterprise risk management process, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Vice President, Internal Audit, Senior Vice President, Controller, Vice President, Assistant General Counsel and the Senior Director, Compensation evaluated our compensation programs for potential areas of risk. During this initial risk assessment, we reviewed our compensation and benefit programs to identify potential risks and risk mitigation factors. On the basis of this initial assessment, management concluded that the Company’s compensation programs are structured in a way that does not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Committee reviewed the results of this assessment at the end of 2016 and agreed with management’s conclusion.

The “Committee Action Date” refers to the date on which the Committee approved the equity grant. See “— Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of 2016 NEO Compensation — Performance-Based Compensation — Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.”

(2)

Amounts shown in these columns represent the annual bonus opportunity under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan for 2016 for each participating NEO. In order for bonuses to be funded under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan for 2016, the Company is required to achieve at least 50% of the 2016 target Adjusted OIBDA (“minimum threshold funding goal”). If the minimum threshold funding goal was achieved, awards under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan would fund at the lesser of eight times each participating NEO’s base salary and $15 million (the “Award Limitation”). The Committee then exercises its negative discretion to determine actual bonus funding using the following percentages, 67% of the bonus funding is based on the Company’s financial performance and 33% of the bonus funding is subject to the Committee’s discretion and based on individual performance of the NEOs. In order to determine the financial performance portion of the bonus funding, the Committee calculates 80% of the weighted average achievement of a combination of the percentage of target Adjusted OIBDA achieved against the 2016 target Adjusted OIBDA and the percentage of AFFO actually achieved against the 2016 targeted AFFO, with such weighted average achievement calculated by allocating a 75% weighting to the Adjusted OIBDA and a 25% weighting to AFFO. The amounts shown in the “Threshold” column represent the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of 80% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO metric for 2016, weighted 67% and (b) achievement of the individual performance component at 50%, weighted 33%. The amounts shown in the “Target” column represent the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of 100% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO metric for 2016, weighted 67% and (b) achievement of the individual performance component at 100%, weighted 33%. The

34

amounts shown in the “Maximum” column represents the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of 110% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO for 2016, weighted 67% and (b) achievement of the individual performance component at 200%, weighted 33%, subject to the Award Limitation. The actual award is funded by applying the weighted average achievement of both metrics against our pre-defined bonus payout scale which applies an increased payout of 25% for every 2.5% weighted average achievement above target and a decreased payout of 12.5% for every 5% weighted average achievement below target. The actual bonus earned for 2016 was determined by the Committee in early 2017, as described above under “— Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of 2016 NEO Compensation — Performance-Based Compensation — Executive Cash Bonus Plan,” and is set forth in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the 2016 Summary Compensation Table for all NEOs.

(3)

Amounts shown in these columns represent the PRSU portion of the 2016 long-term incentive award granted to each participating NEO under the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP. For 2016, no PRSUs become eligible to vest unless the target Adjusted OIBDA ($465 million) for 2016 exceeds 50%. The number of PRSUs to be awarded is then determined based on the Company achieving target Adjusted OIBDA (weighted 75%) and target AFFO (weighted 25%) of at least 80% (the “2016 Performance Goal”). The Company applies a straight-line interpolation methodology for performance between 80% and 110% of target. The amounts shown in the “Threshold” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words, 60% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at 80% achievement of the 2016 Performance Goal. The amounts shown in the “Target” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words 100% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at 100% achievement of the 2016 Performance Goal. The amounts shown in the “Maximum” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words, 120% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at achievement equal to or greater than 110% of the 2016 Performance Goal. To the extent earned, the PRSUs generally vest in equal installments on each of February 18, 2017, 2018 and 2019, subject to the NEO’s continued service on each applicable vesting date and the terms of his employment agreement and/or equity awards. See “— Employment Agreements” and “— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” The actual number of PRSUs earned and eligible to vest for 2016 was determined by the Committee in early 2017, as described under “— Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of 2016 NEO Compensation — Performance-Based Compensation — Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.”

(4)

The following amount from this column was reported in the 2016 Summary Compensation Table: $55,430.

Description of Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Set forth below is information with respect to the plan under which deferral of compensation is reflected in the table above.

Outfront Media Excess 401(k) Plan

The Outfront Media Excess 401(k) Plan (the “Excess 401(k) Plan”) is an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan intended to provide benefits to employees who are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan and whose annual eligible compensation exceeds the federal annual limit. A participant can defer between 1% and 15% of his or her eligible compensation through payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis. Eligible compensation generally includes base pay or salary, including pre-tax contributions to the Company’s 401(k) Plan and the Company’s group health and welfare plans, flexible spending accounts and contributions to the commuter reimbursement account plan, plus overtime, bonus, commissions, hazard pay and shift differential pay. For 2016, the Company matched Excess 401(k) Plan contributions based on the rate of matching contributions under the Company’s 401(k) Plan (70% of the first 5% of eligible compensation deferred on a pre-tax basis). Company matching contributions are fully vested after five years of service. Matching contributions made by the Company to the Company’s 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan are made with respect to a portion of a participant’s eligible annual compensation up to $750,000.

Deferred amounts are reflected in phantom notional accounts and are credited with earnings and/or losses as if the deferred amounts were actually invested in accordance with the participant’s investment elections in the Excess 401(k) Plan. Company matching contributions are also reflected in phantom notional accounts, which are credited in the same manner. The Company’s 401(k) Plan offers 25 investment options in which amounts in the Excess 401(k) Plan balances may be notionally invested, and participants generally may change or reallocate investment directions on any business day on which the NYSE is open. The vested portion of a participant’s Excess 401(k) Plan account is distributed in cash after termination of employment in accordance with the participant’s distribution election, either in a lump sum payment or in installment payments.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

During 2016, the NEOs had employment arrangements providing for separation payments upon certain types of termination of employment. The table below sets forth estimated potential payments that would have been made to the applicable NEO if his employment had terminated as of December 30, 2016, except for benefits that are provided pursuant to plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in favor of executive officers and are available generally to all salaried employees, such as amounts accrued under the Company’s 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan, disability benefits and accrued vacation pay. In addition, in 2015, the Committee approved and adopted an Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Plan”), effective January 1, 2016, for the benefit of the Company’s executive officers, including NEOs.

41

Payments made to an NEO would be made subject to any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Receipt of the payments and benefits shown below upon a termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason”, each as defined below, or termination following a Change in Control (as defined in each of the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP, the related equity award terms and conditions, and the CIC Plan, as applicable), is conditioned on the NEO’s execution of a release in favor of the Company. In determining the benefits payable upon certain terminations of employment, we assumed in all cases that the NEO has complied and continues to comply with, as applicable, all of the restrictive and other covenants included in his employment agreement and has not become employed by a new employer in those cases where the employment agreement requires mitigation by the NEO.

To estimate the payment amounts, the Company used the closing price of our common stock on December 30, 2016, the last trading day of 2016, which was $24.87.

(1)

With respect to a termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason”, for each NEO, the amounts reflect the continuation of his base salary for a period of twelve months (in this instance, January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017). See “— 2016 Summary Compensation Table.”

(2)

With respect to a termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason”, the amount reflects the payment of twelve months of Mr. Male’s annual target bonus.

(3)

All NEOs are eligible to receive a pro-rated bonus in the event of a termination without “Cause,” for “Good Reason” or following a Change in Control. In addition, in the event of death, all NEOs are also eligible to receive a bonus earned in the prior year not yet paid and a pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which the death occurs. Assuming a December 30, 2016 termination, pro-rated bonuses were not included with respect to a termination without “Cause,” for “Good Reason” or following a Change In Control as these amounts are assumed to have been earned by the NEOs, and therefore do not represent enhanced benefits. The amounts of these bonuses are as follows: Male, $1,350,000; Shassian, $487,500; Punter, $412,500; Sriubas, $412,500; and Sauer, $300,000.

(4)

With respect to a termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason,” the amounts shown reflect our cost of providing continued health insurance benefits for twelve months following the termination date for each of Messrs. Male, Punter, Sauer, Shassian and Sriubas as provided in their respective employment agreements, and for Mr. Sauer, the amounts shown reflect our cost of providing continued life insurance coverage until the end of the term of his current employment agreement on February 28, 2017. In the event of termination following a Change in Control, the amounts shown reflect our cost of providing continued health insurance benefits for three years following the termination date for Mr. Male. In addition, with respect to Mr. Sauer, the amount shown includes our cost of providing life insurance coverage until February 28, 2017.

(5)

In the event of a termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason,” or for disability, Mr. Male would receive payment of expenses associated with his and his family’s repatriation back to the United Kingdom during the twelve months following his termination, plus an additional payment in an amount that after payment of all taxes payable by him with respect to such additional payment, will equal the amount of all taxes payable by him with respect to the related reimbursement.

(6)

The calculation of the value associated with the acceleration or continuation (as the case may be) of the vesting of equity grants, (a) in the case of stock awards, was based on the closing price of a share of our common stock on the NYSE on December 30, 2016, the last trading day of 2016, which was $24.87, with the inclusion of the PRSUs awarded during 2016 reflecting actual achievement of the applicable performance conditions; and (b) in the case of options, was based on the difference between such closing price and the exercise price of the option. See “— 2016 Outstanding Equity Awards at

43

Fiscal Year-End” for more information about the equity awards included in the above calculation Any outstanding options held by Mr. Male are out of the money as of December 30, 2016, the last trading day of 2016, based on the exercise price of $26.39, and therefore have no intrinsic value to include in the table above.

(7)

With respect to salary and bonus, represents a lump sum payment of three times the base salary plus three times the annual bonus target for Mr. Male, and represents a lump sum payment of two times the base salary plus two times the annual bonus target for Messrs. Punter, Sauer, Shassian, and Sriubas. With respect to vesting of equity awards, represents accelerated vesting of unvested TRSUs and PRSUs granted in 2015 and 2016 for Messrs. Punter, Sauer, and Sriubas and for Messrs. Male and Shassian, represents accelerated vesting of unvested TRSUs and PRSUs granted in 2014, 2015 and 2016 for a Qualifying Separation (as defined below) upon a Change in Control pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP and related equity award terms and conditions.

(8)

In the event of a termination due to disability, the NEOs would generally receive the pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which the disability occurs and a pro-rated target bonus for the period during which the NEO receives short-term disability benefits under the Company’s short-term disability program. For this purpose, we have assumed that the NEO would receive short-term disability benefits for six months (which is the maximum under the short-term disability plan), and the amount shown represents six months of NEO’s pro-rated target bonus.

None of the NEO’s employment arrangements provide for (1) post-termination payments and benefits solely in the event of a Change in Control (that is, there are no “single trigger” benefits) or (2) tax “gross-ups” in the event any payment or benefit owed to him under his respective arrangement is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination Without Good Reason

Each NEO’s employment arrangement includes a definition of  “Cause” (as discussed below) for which the executive’s employment may be terminated. Except as otherwise described below, each NEO will not receive incremental payments and benefits under their respective employment arrangements in the event of a termination by us for “Cause” or a NEO’s voluntary termination without “Good Reason”.

Termination Without “Cause” by Us or for “Good Reason” by the NEO

Each NEO will receive termination payments and benefits if we terminate his employment without “Cause,” and each of Messrs. Male and Sriubas will also receive termination payments and benefits if he resigns for “Good Reason” pursuant to his employment agreement. If a termination occurs without “Cause” or for “Good Reason”, then, in addition to compensation the applicable NEO would have earned as of the termination date and benefits generally available to all salaried employees:

✓

Mr. Male would have received (1) a cash severance amount equal to the sum of 12 months of his annual salary and his annual target cash bonus; (2) Company-paid medical and dental benefits for up to 12 months; (3) accelerated vesting of all unvested stock options, RSUs and other equity awards that would have vested during the 12-month period following his termination of employment; and (4) payment of expenses associated with his repatriation back to the United Kingdom, plus an additional payment equal to the amount of all taxes payable by him with respect to the related reimbursement.

✓

Mr. Shassian would have received (1) a cash severance amount equal to 12 months of his annual salary; (2) Company-paid medical and dental benefits for up to 12 months; and (3) accelerated vesting of certain RSU awards that would have vested during the 12-month period following his termination of employment.

✓

Mr. Punter would have received (1) a cash severance amount equal to 12 months of his annual salary; and (2) Company-paid medical and dental benefits for up to 12 months;.

✓

Mr. Sriubas would have received (1) a cash severance amount equal to 12 months of his annual salary; and (2) Company-paid medical and dental benefits for up to 12 months.

✓

Mr. Sauer would have received (1) a cash severance amount equal to 12 months of his annual salary; (2) Company-paid medical and dental benefits for up to 12 months; and (3) company-paid life insurance until the end of the employment term.

In addition, if Mr. Punter voluntarily terminates his employment, he will continue to time vest in outstanding unvested RSUs that were awarded (i) on November 3, 2014, only if he voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company on or after the third vesting date but before the fourth vesting date and (ii) on February 19, 2015 and February 18, 2016, only if he voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company on or after the second vesting date but before the third vesting date.

44

Each NEO is also eligible to receive a pro-rated bonus based on the number of months that NEO rendered services to the Company prior to his termination. The pro-rated bonus would be determined in a manner consistent with other Company executives. The employment arrangements for the NEOs require that salary continuation and, in the case of Mr. Male, bonus continuation be paid over the applicable severance period. If the employment of any NEO was terminated without “Cause,” or if Mr. Male or Mr. Sriubas terminated his employment for “Good Reason,” each of them would be required to execute and deliver a general release and would be subject to certain restrictive covenants relating to non-competition, solicitation of our employees, protection of our confidential information and our ownership of work product and cooperation in litigation. Mr. Sauer would be subject to mitigation obligations under the terms of his employment arrangement.

Definition of Termination for “Cause”

We generally would be entitled to terminate the employment of each of Messrs. Punter, Sauer or Sriubas for “Cause” upon the following events: dishonesty, embezzlement, fraud or other conduct which would constitute a felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud or perjury; willful unauthorized disclosure of confidential information; failure to obey a material lawful directive that is appropriate to his position from an executive in his reporting line; failure to comply with our written policies, including the Company’s Code of Conduct; material breach of his employment arrangement; failure (except in the event of disability) or refusal to substantially perform the material obligations under his employment arrangement; willful failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities or the destruction or failure to preserve documents or other material reasonably likely to be relevant to such an investigation, or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to destroy or fail to produce documents or other material; or conduct which is considered an offense involving moral turpitude under federal, state or local laws, or which might bring him to public disrepute, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably upon any of our businesses or those who conduct business with us and our affiliated entities. With respect to Mr. Sauer, voluntary resignation during the term other than due to death or disability would also be considered termination for “Cause.”

We generally would be entitled to terminate the employment of Mr. Male for “Cause” upon the following events: embezzlement, fraud or other conduct which would constitute a felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud or perjury; willful unauthorized disclosure of confidential information; failure to obey a material lawful directive that is appropriate to his position from an executive having authority to give such directive; failure to comply with our written policies, including the Company’s Code of Conduct; material breach of his employment agreement; resignation without Good Reason other than due to his death or disability or in certain other circumstances; willful failure or refusal after being given written notice (except in the event of disability) to substantially perform his material duties and responsibilities under the employment agreement; willful failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities or the destruction or failure to preserve documents or other material reasonably likely to be relevant to such an investigation, or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to destroy or fail to produce documents or other material; conduct which is considered an offense involving moral turpitude under federal, state or local laws; or willful misconduct which brings him to public disrepute or scandal that does or is likely to do significant harm to our businesses or those who conduct business with us and our affiliated companies.

We generally would be entitled to terminate the employment of Mr. Shassian for “Cause” upon the following events: fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement; conviction of a felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud, perjury or moral turpitude; his repeated willful failure to perform services under the agreement; his material breach of certain provisions in his agreement; or his terminating his employment during the term other than due to his death or disability.

Definition of  “Good Reason” Termination

A “Good Reason” termination for Mr. Male generally would be triggered by the following: (1) a reduction in his annual salary, bonus or long-term incentive compensation opportunity; (2) a material reduction in his positions, titles, authorities, duties or responsibilities; (3) the assignment of duties or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with his current authorities, duties and responsibilities or which materially impair his ability to function as our Chief Executive Officer (provided that assignment of authorities, duties or responsibilities relating to operations of a public company or which are consistent with those of a public company Chief Executive Officer would not trigger “Good Reason”); (4) material breach by us of any of our obligations under the agreement; or (5) the requirement that he relocate outside the New York metropolitan area.

A “Good Reason” termination for Mr. Sriubas generally would be triggered by the following: (1) (a) a significant adverse change in the nature or scope of his authorities, powers, functions, responsibilities or duties attached to his position with the Company and any subsidiary, (b) a reduction in the aggregate amount of his annual base salary or bonus received from the Company and any subsidiary, (c) a reduction in his long-term incentive compensation opportunity from the level in effect on the date of his employment agreement, or such higher level as may be in

45

effect at any time after such date, or (d) the termination or denial of his rights to retirement or welfare benefits or a reduction in the scope or value of such benefits (other than any such reduction that is generally applicable to all employees of the Company), and such change reduction or termination is not remedied by the Company within ten business days after receipt by the Company of written notice from Mr. Sriubas of such change, reduction or termination, as the case may be; (2) any change of his principal place of employment to a location more than 50 miles from your principal place of employment as of the commencement of the employment term; or (3) any failure to pay him any compensation when due (other than an inadvertent failure that is remedied within ten business days after receipt of written notice from Mr. Sriubas). Messrs. Shassian, Punter and Sauer do not have a “Good Reason” provision in their employment arrangements.

Termination Following a Change in Control

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP and the related equity award terms and conditions, with respect to equity award grants beginning in 2015, if an NEO (1) is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the NEO’s employment agreement or if not included in the NEO’s employment agreement, as defined in the each of the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP, the related equity award terms and conditions, and the CIC Plan, as applicable) other than due to death or disability, (2) voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined in the NEO’s employment agreement or if not included in the NEO’s employment agreement, as defined in the each of the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP, the related equity award terms and conditions, and the CIC Plan, as applicable), or (3) is terminated as a result of the death or disability of the NEO ((1), (2) and (3) are collectively referred to as a “Qualifying Separation”), following the consummation of a Change in Control, vesting of any outstanding, unvested equity awards granted to the NEO will accelerate.

Pursuant to the CIC Plan, if an NEO experiences a Qualifying Separation, within a period of two years following the consummation of a Change in Control, the NEO is entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits:

✓

A single lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of two times the NEO’s base salary and two times the NEO’s target annual bonus, except for Mr. Male, who would receive three times his base salary and target annual bonus;

✓

A single lump sum cash payment of the NEO’s pro-rated target annual bonus for the year in which the Qualifying Separation occurs; and

✓

Premium payments for continuation health insurance coverage until the earlier of  (a) two years (or three years with respect to Mr. Male) after the Qualifying Separation or (b) the date on which the NEO becomes eligible for health insurance coverage from a third party.

As a condition of participation in the CIC Plan, among others, each NEO must execute a participation agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) in which the NEO agrees to the terms of his participation under the CIC Plan, and, except as otherwise provided in certain NEO’s Participation Agreement with respect to life insurance or expense reimbursement benefits, that the severance payments and benefits provided under the CIC Plan are in place of any other severance payments or benefits to which the NEO may be entitled under his employment agreement upon a Qualifying Separation. In addition, the Participation Agreement for each NEO provides that the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions set forth in the CIC Plan will supersede any similar restrictive covenants in each NEO’s employment agreement upon a Qualifying Separation. The CIC Plan does not replace or modify any accelerated equity vesting rights held by an NEO, which remain governed by the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP and related equity award terms and conditions, as well as each NEOs employment agreement, as applicable.

Termination Due to Disability

If Messrs. Shassian, Punter, Sauer and Sriubas were to be terminated during the employment term as a result of disability, they would receive salary earned through the date of termination, a pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which the disability occurs (which the executive would have earned), a pro-rated target bonus for the period during which they receive short-term disability benefits under our short-term disability program, and accelerated vesting of their outstanding equity awards. If Mr. Male were to be terminated during the employment term as a result of disability, he would receive the above payments and benefits, plus payment of expenses associated with his and his family’s repatriation back to the United Kingdom, plus an additional payment equal to the amount of all taxes payable by him with respect to the related reimbursement.

46

Termination Due to Death

If Messrs. Male, Shassian, Punter, Sauer and Sriubas were to die during the employment term, their beneficiaries or estates would receive salary earned through the date of death, a pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which death occurs (which the executive would have earned) and accelerated vesting of their outstanding equity awards. No additional payments or benefits would be due under their respective contracts.

STOCK OWNERSHIP INFORMATION

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The table below sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2017 by: (1) each stockholder known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock; (2) each of our directors and each director nominee; (3) each of our NEOs; and (4) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the NYSE. Based solely on our review of the reports filed during 2016 and questionnaires from our directors and executive officers, we determined that no director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our common stock failed to file a report on a timely basis during 2016.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Related Persons

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with CBS

On January 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) with CBS, which prior to the Separation (as defined below) was our indirect parent, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBS, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company paid (i) $1.52 billion from the net proceeds from (1) the issuance by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC (formerly known as CBS Outdoor Capital LLC) and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (formerly known as CBS Outdoor Capital Corporation), of  $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2022 and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2024 that were on issued on January 31, 2014 and (2) borrowings of  $800.00 million under a term loan due in 2021, pursuant to a credit agreement entered into among Outfront Media Capital LLC, Outfront Media Capital Corporation, the guarantors party thereto, Citibank, N.A. and the other lenders party thereto, on January 31, 2014, and (ii) $515.0 million from the $615.00 million of net proceeds from the IPO, to such wholly-owned subsidiary of CBS, together with shares of our common stock, in consideration for the contribution of the entities comprising CBS’s Outdoor Americas operating segment to the Company pursuant to the reorganization transactions. On July 16, 2014, CBS disposed of all of its shares of our common stock and as of July 16, 2014, we were separated from CBS (the “Separation”) and were no longer a subsidiary of CBS. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, a portion ($100.0 million) of the IPO proceeds was retained by us and was applied to the $109.5 million cash portion of the special dividend to distribute our accumulated earnings and profits as of July 17, 2014, the date we began operating as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including any earnings and profits allocated to the Company by CBS in connection with the Separation (the “E&P Purge”). CBS transferred the balance of the cash portion of the E&P Purge (approximately $9.5 million) to us prior to the payment of the E&P Purge.

Master Separation Agreement with CBS

In connection with our IPO, the Company entered into a master separation agreement with CBS, providing for, among other things, the Company’s responsibility for liabilities related to the Company’s business and the responsibility of CBS for liabilities unrelated to the Company’s business as well as indemnification obligations and ongoing commitments of each of the Company and CBS.

The master separation agreement also contains provisions allocating between the Company and CBS liabilities related to the employment of current and former employees of the Company and the compensation and benefit plans and programs in which such employees participate. In general, the Company assumes or retains liabilities related to the employment, compensation and benefits of current and former employees; however, CBS retains liabilities related to current and former employees under certain defined benefit pension plans sponsored by CBS.

Transition Services Agreement with CBS

Prior to the IPO, CBS performed or supported many important corporate functions for the Company. The Company’s historical financial statements reflect charges for these services on an allocation basis. In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with CBS, pursuant to which CBS would provide the Company with certain services, and the Company would provide CBS with certain limited services, in each case, on an interim basis for a limited period. The services provided to the Company by CBS included legal, finance, information technology, insurance, tax and employment functions. In connection with the Separation, we amended the transition services agreement to extend the time periods in which CBS would provide the transaction services described above to January 16, 2015 or to July 16, 2015, as applicable depending on the services being provided. The agreed-upon charges for such services were generally on a cost-plus-margin basis and each party agreed to reimburse the other for its out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith. The liability of each party under the transition services agreement for the services it provided is generally limited. As of December 31, 2014, all services previously provided by CBS have been transitioned to us. For more information on the allocation of the charges for services and benefits provided to us by CBS, see Note 7 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Tax Matters Agreement with CBS

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a tax matters agreement with CBS, which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of CBS and the Company with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes for the periods during which the Company was a member of the CBS consolidated

50

tax group. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, we are liable to pay CBS for any taxes imposed on or related to us while we were a member of the CBS consolidated tax group. In addition, CBS is liable to pay us for any reductions in taxes paid related to us while we were a member of the CBS consolidated tax group. The tax matters agreement also separately allocates among the parties any tax liability arising as a result of any failure of the Separation to qualify as a tax-free transaction based on actions taken during the two-year period following the Separation, which ended on July 16, 2016.

License Agreement with CBS

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a license agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of CBS, pursuant to which the Company had the right to use “CBS” in the corporate names of the Company and the right to use the “CBS” mark and the “CBS” logo on the Company’s advertising billboards for a limited of time following the Separation. In connection with the Separation, the Company amended the license agreement to extend the time period in which the Company had the right to use “CBS” in the corporate names of the Company to December 31, 2014, and had the right to use the “CBS” mark and logo on the Company’s advertising displays to March 31, 2016. On November 20, 2014, the Company rebranded, and the Company changed its legal name to “OUTFRONT Media Inc.”

Registration Rights Agreement with CBS

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with CBS that provided CBS and its affiliated entities with certain registration rights for shares of the Company’s common stock owned by them, including demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights. In connection with the Separation, CBS disposed of all of its shares of our common stock subject to the registration rights agreement.

Other Transactions with CBS

For advertising spending placed by CBS and its subsidiaries, we recognized total revenues of  $18.6 million, of which $7.7 million was before the Separation, for 2014. As of December 31, 2014, in connection with the Separation, there were no receivables from CBS and payables to CBS were $0.2 million.

Viacom Inc. is controlled by National Amusements, Inc., the controlling stockholder of CBS. Revenues recognized for advertising spending placed by various subsidiaries of Viacom Inc. were $10.4 million, of which $4.3 million was before the Separation, in 2014.

On July 16, 2014, as a result of the Separation, CBS and their affiliates, including Viacom Inc., ceased to be related persons.

Transactions with Directors and Executive Officers

Clive Punter, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, was a founding partner of GeniusQ, which provided consulting services to the Company from 2012 to 2014. Pursuant to a consulting agreement, GeniusQ provided consulting and advisory services to the Company from May 2014 to October 2014, resulting in payments by the Company to GeniusQ, for the benefit of Mr. Punter, of approximately $289,000.

For a description of the related person transaction involving William Apfelbaum, a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors, see “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance — Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.”

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Company has a written policy regarding the review and approval, ratification or other action to be taken with respect to transactions with related persons. Pursuant to this policy, the Nominating and Governance Committee will review and approve, ratify or take other actions it deems appropriate with respect to a related person transaction that, under the rules of the SEC, is required to be disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement or Annual Report on Form 10-K. In its review, the Nominating and Governance Committee will be provided with the details of a proposed related person transaction, including the terms of the related person transaction, the business purpose of the related person transaction, and the benefits to the Company and to the relevant related persons that are derived from the related person transaction. In determining whether to approve, ratify or take any other action it deems appropriate with respect to the related person transaction, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider, among other factors, the following factors to the extent relevant to the related person transaction: (a) whether the terms of the related person transaction are fair to the Company and on the same basis

51

would apply if the transaction did not involve a related person; (b) whether there are business reasons for the Company to enter into the related person transaction; (c) whether the related person transaction would impair the independence of an outside director; and (d) whether the related person transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer of the Company, taking into account several factors. Any member of the Nominating and Governance Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review will abstain from voting on any action to be taken with respect to the related person transaction but may, if so requested by the chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, participate in some or all of the discussions with respect to the related person transaction. Under the policy, the Company’s legal staff is primarily responsible for determining whether a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in a transaction with the Company that is required to be disclosed. The determination will be made after a review of the information obtained from the related person and information available from the Company’s records. The agreements and/or transactions set forth in this section that pertain to CBS were entered into prior to the completion of the IPO and were not subject to the Company’s related person transaction policy.

52

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the full Board of Directors has considered and nominated the following slate of Class III nominees for a three-year term expiring in 2020: Jeremy J. Male and Joseph H. Wender. Action will be taken at the Annual Meeting for the election of these two Class III nominees.

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the form of proxy card attached to this proxy statement intend to vote the proxies held by them for the election of Jeremy J. Male and Joseph H. Wender. If, for any reason, any of the director nominees become unavailable for election, the persons named in the form of proxy card may exercise discretion to vote for substitute nominees proposed by the Board. Each of the director nominees has indicated that he will be able to serve if elected and has agreed to do so.

The relevant experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills of each director nominee that led the Board to recommend the above persons as nominees for director are described in the section entitled “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.”

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE CLASS III DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

53

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2017, subject to stockholder ratification. Although ratification is not required by the Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of PwC to our stockholders for ratification because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.

Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. They will also be available to respond to questions at the Annual Meeting.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table sets forth fees for professional services rendered by PwC to the Company and its subsidiaries for each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

​	2015			2016
Audit Fees(1)	​	$	2,248,600	​	$	1,549,300
Audit-Related Fees(2)	​	​	753,000	​	​	127,700
Tax Fees(3)	​	​	298,500	​	​	200,800
All Other Fees(4)	​	​	5,400	​	​	—
Total	​	$	3,305,500	​	$	1,877,800

(1)

Audit Fees consist of professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, including quarterly financial statement reviews, statutory audits, engagements required by Federal or state regulatory agencies, and comfort letters.

(2)

Audit-Related Fees consist of fees for professional services for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements other than those included in “Audit Fees.” These services include due diligence related to the Company’s acquisition activities, contractually required audits, audits of the Company’s pension plans and carve-out audits related to divestitures.

(3)

Tax Fees consist of fees for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including international tax compliance, transfer pricing studies and tax due diligence and planning related to the Company’s acquisition and divestiture activity.

(4)

All Other Fees for 2015 includes a license for accounting research software.

All audit and non-audit services provided to the Company by PwC for 2016 were pre-approved by either the full Audit Committee or the Chair of the Audit Committee. Pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures in effect during 2016, the Chair of the Audit Committee was authorized to pre-approve the engagement of PwC to provide certain specified audit and non-audit services, and the engagement of any accounting firm to provide certain specified audit services, up to a maximum amount of  $100,000 per engagement, with the total amount of such authorizations outstanding that have not been reported to the Audit Committee not to exceed an aggregate of  $250,000. The Audit Committee receives regular reports on the engagements approved by the Chair pursuant to this delegation. For 2017, the Audit Committee adopted the same pre-approval policies and procedures that were in effect for 2016, and at the same per engagement and aggregate authorized amounts that were in effect for 2016.

54

In appointing PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2017, and in recommending that the Company’s stockholders ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided by PwC were compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence from the Company and has determined that such services do not impair PwC’s independence.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP TO SERVE AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017.

55

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following Report of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of OUTFRONT Media Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), does not constitute “soliciting material” and shall not be deemed “filed” or incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except to the extent the Company specifically requests that the information be treated as soliciting material or specifically incorporates such information by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

The charter of the Audit Committee provides that the purpose of the Audit Committee is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Audit Committee also assists in the Board’s oversight of:

•

The quality and integrity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures;

•

The evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and risk management procedures;

•

The Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

•

The independent auditor’s qualifications and independence; and

•

The performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditor.

A brief description of the primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee is included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in the section entitled “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance — Board Committees — Audit Committee.”

The Audit Committee also discusses certain matters with the independent auditor on a regular basis, including the Company’s critical accounting policies, certain communications between the independent auditor and management, and the qualifications of the independent auditor.

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the financial reporting processes and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. The independent auditor is responsible for performing an audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited consolidated financial statements to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

As part of its oversight role, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the Company’s independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the Company’s disclosures in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The Audit Committee has also discussed with PwC all required communications, including the matters required to be discussed pursuant to Auditing Standards No. 1301 adopted by the PCAOB regarding “Communication with Audit Committees.” In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with PwC the firm’s independence from the Company.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate resolution subject to stockholder vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in the section entitled “Executive Compensation.” As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal, and expect to consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

The text of the resolution with respect to Proposal No. 3 is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

As more fully discussed in the section entitled “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s compensation programs are designed to motivate and reward business success and to increase stockholder value. The core objectives of these programs are to provide compensation arrangements that are stockholder value focused, market-based, performance-based and flexible. In particular, stockholders should note the following:

•

A significant portion of our named executive officers’ total compensation is tied to the achievement of the Company’s financial goals and individual accomplishments that contribute to the Company’s success in the short- and long-term.

•

Long-term equity incentive grants, which constitute a key component of our executive compensation, typically have a multi-year vesting period designed to motivate our named executive officers to make business decisions that, over the long-term, should increase the price of our common stock.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.
