PROXY STATEMENT

April 22, 2022

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, 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 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on June 7, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time via a live audio webcast, 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 22, 2022, to all stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting via webcast 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 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules, and is designed to assist you in voting your shares. The proxy materials include this proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, an annual report to stockholders, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the proxy card or a voting instruction form 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 8, 2022 (the “Record Date”) on or about April 22, 2022. 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 form, 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 with 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 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 may 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 to stockholders, 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 to stockholders, 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 considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting:

•Proposal No. 1: The election of the director nominees named in this proxy statement, each to serve until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her 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 2022.

•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 each of the 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 2022.

•“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 164,009,700 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”) and 125,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), outstanding. You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date. At the Annual Meeting, each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the record holder of Series A Preferred Stock to 62.5 votes per share, which is the number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted as of the Record Date. Thus, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to an aggregate of 7,812,500 votes for each director nominee and on each other proposal considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting, and will vote as a single class with the holders of our common stock at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the aggregate number of votes that may be cast by the holders of our common stock and our Series A Preferred Stock at the Annual Meeting, voting together as a single class, is 171,822,200 votes.

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services, 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 by webcast.

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 by webcast and may be eligible to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting using the procedures outlined by their broker or other nominee. Certain street name holders may be required to follow broker’s procedures for obtaining a “legal proxy,” which may take several days to obtain. The material from your broker, bank or other nominee will include a voting instruction form or other document by which you may 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 on any matter 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 director nominees will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with regard to each such nominee, which means that the number of votes “for” each nominee must exceed the number of votes “against” such nominee.

Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2022, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, 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, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, 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 each of Proposals Nos. 1, 2, and 3, you may vote “for”, “against” or “abstain” from voting on any such 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 fiscal year 2022, 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 any nominee for director in an uncontested election receives a greater number of “against” votes than votes “for” his or her election (a “Majority Against Vote”), the nominee has not received the requisite votes needed to be elected to the Board and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines require that such incumbent 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 Against 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 voted “against” the election of the applicable 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 the 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 stockholder 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 as 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 offer of 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?

The Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting of stockholders, as it was last year. You will be able to attend and vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting via a live audio webcast by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OUT2022, which will begin on June 7, 2022 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time. The rules of conduct for the Annual Meeting will be available on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OUT2022 during the Annual Meeting.

Stockholders will need their unique 16-digit control number, which appears on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card that accompanied the proxy materials, or which may be included in the materials forwarded to you by your broker or other nominee. In the event that you do not have a control number, please contact your broker or other nominee as soon as possible and no later than Tuesday, May 24, 2022, so that you can be provided with a control number and gain access to the virtual Annual Meeting.

Online access to the audio webcast will open approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting to allow time for you to log in and test the computer audio system. We encourage our stockholders to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. If you require technical support, please call (844) 986-0822 (or internationally, (303) 562-9302), which is available 30 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting through the conclusion of the Annual Meeting.

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

If you are a stockholder of record, you may authorize a proxy to vote your shares. Specifically, you may authorize a proxy to vote:


			By Internet—If you have internet access, you may submit your proxy by going to www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions on how to complete an electronic proxy card. You will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card in order to authorize a proxy to vote by internet. Internet voting is available until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on June 6, 2022.

			By Telephone—If you have access to a touch-tone telephone, you may submit your proxy by calling the telephone number specified on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card and by following the recorded instructions. You will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card in order to authorize a proxy to vote by telephone. Telephone voting is available until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on June 6, 2022.

			By Mail—You may authorize a proxy to 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 properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

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 authorizing a new proxy to vote 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 via webcast. Attendance alone, without voting, will not be sufficient to revoke a previously authorized proxy. 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 instructions 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 via webcast.

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. Our directors, officers and employees do not receive additional compensation for soliciting proxies. Brokers, banks and other nominees will be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses. We have also engaged MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to serve as our proxy solicitor for the Annual Meeting at a fee of $11,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. MacKenzie Partners, Inc. will, among other things, provide advice relating to the content of solicitation materials, solicit banks, brokers, nominees and institutional investors to determine voting instructions, and monitor voting.

Whom should I contact if I have questions about the Annual Meeting?

If you have any additional questions about the Annual Meeting, how to vote via webcast or otherwise, please contact our proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, Inc., at (800) 322-2885 (toll-free) or (212) 929-5500 (international callers).

The Bylaws provide that the Board will consist of not less than one and not more than 15 directors. The Board currently consists of eight directors. See “—Election of Directors.” During 2021, the Board held six 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 that 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 2021. In addition to Board and committee meetings, directors are invited and expected to attend the Annual Meeting. All directors then serving attended the Company’s 2021 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.

Election of Directors

At the Annual Meeting, at the recommendation of the Board, all members of the Board will stand for election and if elected, all of the directors will serve until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.

For information regarding the applicable voting standards for the election of directors and the Company’s director resignation policy, see the section entitled “General Information About the Annual Meeting and Voting.”

Director Nominations Process

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, 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 all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, 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, and other directorships held by the individual. 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 and its stockholders. As part of its review, the Nominating and Governance Committee also considers diversity characteristics, including, but not limited to, the individual’s age, gender, race, ethnicity and/or self-identified diversity characteristics such as religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, military service, cultural background and socio-economic characteristics. As a result of considering diversity characteristics as part of its nomination process, the Board includes two female directors, a director who is a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, a Hispanic director and directors within an age range spanning nearly thirty years. Distinguished contributors to governmental and not-for-profit organizations also serve on the Board. Additionally, multiple industries are represented on the Board, including law, advertising, media and marketing, investment management and banking. After taking all of these considerations into account, the Nominating and Governance Committee determined to recommend to the Board that Messrs. Brien, Diaz, Dominguez, Male, Mathes and Wender and Mses. Courtin and Tolson be nominated to stand for election at the Annual Meeting.

An eligible stockholder or group of stockholders that wants to nominate directors for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to the proxy access provisions in the Bylaws, or that wants to nominate or recommend a candidate for election to the Board without such nominee being included in the Company’s proxy statement, 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 and follow the requirements set forth in the Bylaws. See “Stockholder Proposals for the 2023 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 and satisfies the requirements of the Bylaws, as applicable. If all applicable requirements are met, the information on the stockholder candidate will then 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. A copy of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com.

Board and Committee Self-Evaluations

Pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards, the Board and its committees each conduct a self-evaluation annually. Our processes enable directors to provide anonymous and confidential feedback and the directors’ responses are summarized in reports by the Corporate Secretary and then reviewed by the Chairman, the Lead Independent Director and the respective chairs of the committees. The feedback is discussed at the Board and committee meetings and changes in practices or procedures are considered and implemented, as appropriate. The Board finds that this process generates robust comments, and provides the Board the opportunity to make changes designed to increase Board effectiveness and efficiency.

The Nominating and Governance Committee regularly reviews the format of the self-evaluation process, including whether to utilize a third-party facilitator, to ensure that actionable feedback is solicited on the operation and effectiveness of the Board and its committees. In 2021, the self-evaluation process was conducted by the Corporate Secretary, at the direction of the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee in the manner described above, and directors provided feedback on questionnaires regarding various matters, including, but not limited to, Board composition and structure, meetings and materials, access to management and resources, director education, and key areas of focus for the Board such as environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) matters, which were considered and addressed, as appropriate. In addition to the formal self-evaluation process, the Chairman, Lead Independent Director and independent directors and senior members of management have informal discussions throughout the year about the function, processes, procedures and responsibilities of the Board.

Director Independence

In accordance with the NYSE rules and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board makes an annual determination as to the independence of the directors and director nominees. The Board also makes interim determinations as to the independence of the directors and director nominees throughout the year, as appropriate. 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. In its assessment, the Board reviews (i) all criteria for independence established by the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE listing standards and other governing laws and regulations and (ii) 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, including, but not limited to, the frequency of any services provided to or by the Company, 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 between a director or director nominee and the Company. In addition, the Board annually consults 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. Brien, the Board considered the purchase of out-of-home advertising from the Company by Mr. Brien’s former employer. The Board noted that payments made to the Company were made without influence by, or remuneration to, Mr. Brien, and any such payments did not exceed the relevant percentage of his former employer’s consolidated gross revenues set forth in the NYSE listing standards.

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 current employer. The Board noted that payments made to the Company were primarily by agencies contracted by Ms. Courtin’s employer (without influence by, or remuneration to, Ms. Courtin), and any such payments did not exceed the relevant percentage of her employer’s consolidated gross revenues set forth in the NYSE listing standards. In addition, the Board also noted that Ms. Courtin is not responsible for making any purchasing decisions regarding out-of-home advertising on behalf of her employer.

In assessing the independence of Mr. Dominguez, the Board considered Mr. Dominguez’s employment as Managing Director at Providence Equity Partners LLC, whose affiliates previously beneficially owned 275,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Affiliates of Providence Equity Partners LLC currently beneficially own 17,388,024 shares of our common stock.

In February 2022, the Nominating and Governance Committee undertook its annual review of director independence and, in consultation with external legal counsel, made a recommendation to the Board regarding director independence. As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that seven of our current directors, Messrs. Brien, Diaz, Dominguez, Mathes and Wender and Mses. Courtin and Tolson, are “independent directors” 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 role of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, (2) a Lead Independent Director, and (3) an independent Chair for each of our three standing Board committees described below. Regularly, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board review the Company’s leadership structure to ensure the interests of the Company and its stockholders are best served.

The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company for the position of Chairman to be held by our Chief Executive Officer, 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 to effectively execute the Company’s business strategies. Mr. Male has extensive knowledge of all aspects of the Company’s business, industry, customers and risks as he is intimately involved in the Company’s day-to-day operations and, therefore, is in the best position to elevate the most critical business issues for consideration by the Board. In addition, the combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer structure creates more focused, efficient and effective information flow and decision-making processes, which in turn provides clearer accountability to our stockholders and customers by allowing one person to speak for and lead both the Company and the Board.

The combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 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 use of regular executive sessions of the non-management and independent directors allows the Board 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. Our current Lead Independent Director, Joseph H. Wender, is an engaged and active director, who works 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 schedules, agendas and materials for the Board;

•being available, if requested, for consultation and direct communication with stockholders and proxy advisory firms;

•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, Mr. Wender has over the past year performed additional duties, including regularly communicating with the Chairman, independent directors and senior members of management between Board meetings and after executive sessions to provide feedback from the independent directors on a variety of matters.

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, legal, compliance and regulatory requirements, and information security and cybersecurity.

•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 ESG processes and disclosures, the independence and structure of the Board, and 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 strategies and risk profile, including, among other things:

•reports from the Chief Executive Officer and other senior members of management on the Company’s operational strategies and risks;

•reports from the Chief Financial Officer on credit and liquidity risks and on the integrity of internal audit control over financial reporting;

•reports from the General Counsel on legal risks and material legal proceedings;

•reports from the Chief Human Resources Officer on human capital risks, including diversity and inclusion matters; and

•reports from the Chief Information Officer (with input from the Company’s Chief Privacy Officer, as appropriate) on the Company’s information security and cybersecurity risks, compliance and protections.

In addition, the Company has an enterprise risk management program that seeks to identify and manage risks throughout the Company by having its Chief Financial Officer meet with members of each of the Company’s various departments annually 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, including with management at an annual strategy meeting. Outside of formal meetings, Board members have regular access to our executive officers and management. The Company believes that the above reporting processes collectively provide the Board with integrated insight into the Company’s management of its risks.

The Company also has an incident response plan that sets forth the processes for addressing the aftermath and associated risks of an event or incident, such as a cybersecurity incident or health emergency like the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting the Company and/or its personnel. The incident response plan is tested at least annually by the Company and the results of the test are reported to the Audit Committee and the Board by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for discussion and evaluation.

In addition, the Company maintains a written succession plan with respect to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and each executive officer. In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews succession planning at least annually for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, and reports to the independent directors on the results of these reviews.

The Company also believes that its Board leadership structure, discussed in detail above, supports the risk oversight function of the Board and empowers the directors to be actively engaged in the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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.

Anti-Hedging Policy

The Company has adopted an anti-hedging policy that prohibits its directors, executive officers, employees and their related persons from trading in options, warrants, convertible securities, puts and calls or similar derivative instruments such as swaps, forwards and futures with respect to the Company’s securities, or selling the Company’s securities “short.” This policy does not prevent such persons from exercising options granted to them by the Company in accordance with its corporate policies, including any options granted to directors, executive officers and employees in connection with the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program.

Stockholder Rights and Engagement

Annually, the Board reviews and considers appropriate changes to its corporate governance structure, in an effort to increase accountability and responsiveness to the Company’s stockholders. As part of its annual review, the Board again considered modifying the Bylaws to allow our stockholders to implement binding amendments to the Bylaws. After careful consideration and previous stockholder engagement on the matter, the Board concluded that it remains in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the authority to amend the Bylaws to remain vested exclusively with the Board. This conclusion was based mainly on three principles: (i) under Maryland law, the directors owe legal duties to the Company, including to act in good faith and with a reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interests of the Company, whereas certain stockholders who are not bound by any legal duty may act only in their own interests; (ii) under Maryland law, the Board has an obligation to direct the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and certain destabilizing stockholder-proposed bylaw amendments, particularly those motivated by short-term gains, may prevent the Board from effectively directing the management of the business for the long-term best interests of the Company, which could lead to costly litigation; and (iii) the Board believes effective means already exist for stockholders to propose non-binding amendments to the Bylaws and other changes to the management of the business and affairs of the Company, including the Company’s proxy access and advance notice provisions in the Bylaws and SEC Rule 14a-8. Accordingly, we believe that the Board is in the best position to consider possible future amendments to the Bylaws (including those proposed by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws), and the Board will adopt such amendments only after concluding that such amendments are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Annually, certain of our directors and members of management attempt to engage with the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the prior fiscal year-end, to discuss, among other things, the Company’s corporate governance structure, compensation philosophy and ESG initiatives, and to ensure that the Company is aligned with the interests of its stockholders. The Company’s stockholder engagement practices throughout the year also includes regular communication between our stockholders and the Company’s investor relations department and management presentations at investor and industry conferences.

Environmental, Social and Governance

We believe we can enhance stockholder value by conducting our business in a sustainable way that considers the long-term interests of all our stakeholders, including our employees and the communities in which we operate. We hold ourselves to high legal, ethical and operational standards to maintain the trust of our stakeholders, and are committed to managing the risks and opportunities that arise from ESG issues.

Our ESG initiatives are managed at a functional level across our strategic and operational areas, with oversight by an ESG committee comprised of senior management, executives and other employees from various functional groups within the Company. Our Head of Investor Relations reports to the executive officers, the Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee on the ESG committee’s progress and initiatives. The Nominating and Governance Committee is formally responsible for reporting to the Board on a periodic basis with respect to matters of the Company’s policies and practices regarding ESG, including the Company’s public reporting on these topics.

In 2021, the Company released an ESG report outlining its ESG initiatives and goals, which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.outfrontmedia.com. An updated version of the Company’s ESG report will be available in 2022. Some of our ESG accomplishments to date include:

Audit Committee


	The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE listing standards. The Audit Committee reviews its charter annually and makes appropriate recommendations for changes to the Nominating and Governance Committee as necessary. A copy of the charter of the Audit Committee is available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.outfrontmedia.com.
	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;
AUDIT	●	reviewing and discussing the Company’s annual audited financial statements, quarterly financial statements, earnings releases and Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the Company’s management and its independent auditor;
COMMITTEE	●	reviewing the organization, responsibilities, audit plan and results of the internal audit function, as well as 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 information security and cybersecurity programs and compliance program, as well as receiving periodic reports from the Company’s Chief Information Officer (with input from the Company’s Chief Privacy Officer, as appropriate) and the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer.
	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.

	During 2021, the Audit Committee held five meetings and also acted by unanimous written consent one time.

Compensation Committee


	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 the Company’s website at www.outfrontmedia.com.
	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;
COMPENSATION	●	reviewing and approving compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, executive officers and other senior executives;
COMMITTEE	●	evaluating and making recommendations to the Board regarding equity-based and cash incentive compensation plans; and
	●	adopting and periodically reviewing the Company’s compensation philosophy, strategy and principles, and 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 Compensation Committee delegated to our Chief Executive Officer limited authority to (a) grant long-term equity incentive awards pursuant to the OUTFRONT Media Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus SIP”) to the Company’s employees that are not officers subject to Section 16 (“Section 16”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in connection with their hiring, performance, promotion or contract renewal, and (b) accelerate the vesting of unvested incentive awards in the event that employees that are not officers subject to Section 16 separate from the Company in connection with retirement or other similar separation. These delegations also require that our Chief Executive Officer report to the Compensation Committee periodically on his exercise of this delegated authority.

	The Compensation Committee retains compensation consultants to assist with 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. In 2021, 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 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 (and the Nominating and Governance Committee with respect to director compensation, as appropriate). 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 reviews all components of senior executives’ compensation, including base salary, annual incentives 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. Mathes and Brien and Ms. Courtin meet the independence requirements applicable to compensation committee members under the NYSE listing standards and the applicable SEC rules, and are also “non-employee directors” for purposes of Section 16.

	During 2021, the Compensation Committee held four meetings.

Nominating and Governance Committee


	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 the Company’s website at www.outfrontmedia.com.
	As more fully described in its charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:
NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE	●	identifying and recommending to the Board individuals qualified to become members of the Board;
	●	recommending to the Board any changes to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines;

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2021, the members of the Compensation Committee were Nicolas Brien, Angela Courtin and Peter Mathes. None of the members of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2021 was an officer or employee of the Company, and, during fiscal year 2021, no executive officer of the Company served on the board and/or compensation committee of any company that employed as an executive officer any member of the Board and/or the Compensation Committee. None of the members of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2021 had any relationships requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K for the fiscal year 2021.

Director Compensation

The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews and periodically 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 and ClearBridge, as appropriate), 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.

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 the calendar year of the grant).

Cash Compensation

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

•A $75,000 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 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 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 generally vest one year from the date of grant, with dividend equivalents accruing on such RSUs in amounts equal to the regular cash dividends paid on our common stock and with such accrued dividend equivalents converting to shares of our common stock on the date of vesting; or

•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 the Company’s 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, 2021, pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, all directors have met the stock ownership guidelines through either (i) direct ownership of shares of our common stock, or, (ii) a combination of direct ownership of shares of our common stock and unvested RSUs or, in the case of Mr. Dominguez, Series A Preferred Stock owned by his employer as of December 31, 2021, 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.

The compensation for our NEOs is presented in additional detail in the compensation tables and narratives following this summary and following the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related preventative measures taken to help curb the spread, including shutdowns and slowdowns of, and restrictions on, businesses, public gatherings, social interactions and travel (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences) throughout the markets in which we do business have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on the global economy and our business.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritized the health and safety of our employees and customers by (i) utilizing a secure remote workforce as needed for personnel other than operations personnel who service our displays and certain other personnel, (ii) implementing deep cleaning, social distancing and other protective policies and practices in accordance with federal, state and local regulations and guidance across all offices and facilities, and (iii) communicating frequently with our employees and customers to address any concerns and updates to our policies. None of these actions have caused a significant disruption in our ability to manage the continuity of our business or our internal controls.
