Acquisitions	2. Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $535,029, of which $526,029 was in cash and $9,000 in non-cash consideration consisting principally of exchanges of outdoor advertising assets.

As a result of the acquisitions, a gain of $8,599 was recorded for transactions which involved the exchanges of outdoor advertising assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary fair market value estimates at the dates of acquisition.

Stock-Based Compensation	3. Stock-Based Compensation Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 15.5 million shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years and include 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant. We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for an aggregate of 86,000 shares of its Class A common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2016 a total of 1,466,193 shares were available for future grant. Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or 2009 ESPP was approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009. The number of shares of Class A common stock available under the 2009 ESPP was automatically increased by 82,084 shares on January 1, 2016 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2009 ESPP. The following is a summary of 2009 ESPP share activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016: Shares Available for future purchases, January 1, 2016 279,589 Additional shares reserved under 2009 ESPP 82,084 Purchases (84,979 ) Available for future purchases, September 30, 2016 276,694 Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers, employees and directors under our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of shares to be issued, if any, will be dependent on the level of achievement of performance measures for key officers and employees, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on our 2016 results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the first quarter of 2017. The shares subject to these awards can range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 100% of the target number of shares depending on the level at which the goals are attained. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company has recorded $11,800 as stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards. In addition, each non-employee director automatically receives upon election or re-election a restricted stock award of our Class A common stock. The awards vest 50% on grant date and 50% on the last day of the directors’ one year term. The Company recorded a $301 stock-based compensation expense related to these awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016, the total debt ratio was less than 6.0 to 1 and Lamar Media’s senior debt ratio was less than 3.5 to 1; therefore, dividends or distributions to Lamar Advertising were not subject to any additional restrictions under the senior credit facility.

Senior Credit Facility On January 7, 2016, Lamar Media entered into a new incremental Term A-1 loan of $300,000 to partially fund the purchase of certain Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. assets. The Term A-1 loan was repaid in full on January 28, 2016 by using proceeds received from the issuance of the 5 3/4% Notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred a loss of $3,198 related to the repayment of the Term A-1 loan. On February 3, 2014, Lamar Media entered into a Second Restatement Agreement (the “Second Restatement Agreement”) with the Company, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries as Guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and the Lenders named therein, under which the parties agreed to amend and restate Lamar Media’s existing senior credit facility on the terms set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Second Restatement Agreement (such Second and Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as subsequently amended, together with the Second Restatement Agreement being herein referred to as the “senior credit facility”). Under the Second Restatement Agreement, the senior credit facility consisted of a $400,000 revolving credit facility and a $500,000 incremental facility. Lamar Media is the borrower under the senior credit facility. We may also from time to time designate wholly owned subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers under the incremental loan facility. Incremental loans may be in the form of additional term loan tranches or increases in the revolving credit facility. Our lenders have no obligation to make additional loans to us, or any designated subsidiary borrower, under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion. On April 18, 2014, Lamar Media entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) under which the parties agreed to amend Lamar Media’s existing senior credit agreement on the terms set forth therein. The First Amendment created a new $300,000 Term A Loan facility (the “Term A Loans”) and made certain other amendments. Lamar Media borrowed $300,000 in Term A Loans on April 18, 2014. The net loan proceeds of this borrowing, together with borrowings under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility and cash on hand, were used to fund the redemption and retirement of all $400,000 in outstanding principal amount of Lamar Media’s 7 7/8% Notes due 2018 on April 21, 2014. On March 4, 2016, Lamar Media entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) under which the parties agreed to amend Lamar Media’s existing senior credit agreement on the terms set forth therein. Among certain other amendments, the Second Amendment eliminated the $500,000 cap on incremental loans with the result that Lamar Media may borrow incremental term and revolving loans without monetary limits, so long as Lamar Advertising’s Senior Debt Ratio does not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. The Term A Loans began amortizing on June 30, 2014 in quarterly installments on each September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30 thereafter, as follows: Principal Payment Date Principal Amount December 31, 2016- March 31, 2017 $ 5,625 June 30, 2017-December 31, 2018 $ 11,250 Term A Loan Maturity Date $ 168,750 The Term A Loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.0% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). Base Rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.00% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.25% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.00% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1; or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). Base Rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.25% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.0% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1; or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term A Loans and revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2016, there was $206,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $9,104 in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2016 resulting in $184,896 of availability under its revolving facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to its maturity on February 2, 2019, and bear interest, at Lamar Media’s option, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted Base Rate plus applicable margins, such margins are set at an initial rate with the possibility of a step down based on Lamar Media’s ratio of debt to trailing four quarters EBITDA, as defined in the senior credit facility. The terms of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to: • dispose of assets; • incur or repay debt; • create liens; • make investments; and • pay dividends. The senior credit facility contains provisions that allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that allows Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, including by allowing Lamar Media to make distributions to Lamar Advertising required for the Company to qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions. Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility the Company must maintain a specified senior debt ratio at all times and in addition, must satisfy a total debt ratio in order to incur debt, make distributions or make certain investments. Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of their indentures and the senior credit facility provisions during the periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investment contracts are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt (including current maturities) was $2,517,113 which exceeded the carrying amount of $2,410,254 as of September 30, 2016. The majority of the fair value is determined using observed prices of publicly traded debt (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and the remaining is valued based on quoted prices for similar debt (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).
