Item 5. Other Events.
SpectraSite Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") has commenced cash tender offers
(the "Tender Offers") pursuant to which it is offering up to $340 million
aggregate maximum purchase price for its outstanding 10 3/4% Senior Notes due
2010 (the "10 3/4% Notes"), 12 1/2% Senior Notes due 2010 (the "12 1/2% Notes"),
12% Senior Discount Notes due 2008 (the "12% Notes"), 11 1/4% Senior Discount
Notes due 2009 (the "11 1/4% Notes"), 12 7/8% Senior Discount Notes due 2010
(the "12 7/8% Notes" and, together with the 10 3/4% Notes, the 12 1/2% Notes,
the 12% Notes and the 11 1/4% Notes, the "Notes"). The Tender Offers are
conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of valid and unwithdrawn
tenders of Notes resulting in the payment by Holdings of an aggregate purchase
price for all the Notes so tendered of at least $300 million (the "Minimum
Tender Condition"), the prior or contemporaneous issuance and funding of
convertible term notes to certain affiliates of Welsh, Carson, Anderson and
Stowe and the receipt of all necessary consents from the lenders under
SpectraSite's existing credit facility. The Tender Offers are expected to expire
on June 18, 2002, unless extended or terminated.
Holdings and SpectraSite Intermediate Holdings, LLC ("Holdco") have
commenced an offer to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") to exchange up to
$75 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 12.875% Convertible Notes
due 2008 (the "Exchange Notes") for a portion of the Notes not purchased in the
Tender Offers (the "Exchange Offers"). The Exchange Notes will be structurally
senior to the Notes.
The Tender Offers are not conditioned on the Exchange Offers. The Exchange
Offers are expected to expire after the expiration of the Tender Offers and are
conditioned upon, among other things, the completion of the Tender Offers to the
extent necessary to satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition.
THE EXCHANGE NOTES AND SHARES OF HOLDINGS' COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
CONVERSION THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND MAY NOT
BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES ABSENT REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE
EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
The Tender Offers and the Exchange Offers are part of a series of
transactions that the Company is undertaking in order to refinance its
indebtedness and improve its financial position.
Holdings and Holdco have provided the following information in connection
with the Tender Offers and the Exchange Offers:
OVERVIEW. Holdings has created a new, wholly-owned subsidiary, Holdco.
Under the terms of a Funding Agreement (the "Funding Agreement"), Holdings and
Holdco have agreed to issue up to $350 million aggregate principal amount of
secured convertible term notes (the "New Term Notes") to certain affiliates of
Welsh, Carson, Anderson and Stowe ("Welsh Carson" or the "Lenders"). Of the
proceeds from the issuance of the New Term Notes, $10 million will be used to
refinance indebtedness under our existing credit facility. The remainder will be
used to fund purchases of Notes pursuant to the Tender Offers and, to the
extent not used, for other general corporate purposes, which may include
purchasing additional Notes in the open market after the closing or termination
of the Exchange Offers.
Separately, the Company has agreed with SBC Communications Inc. ("SBC"),
subject to certain conditions, to reduce its future sublease commitment to SBC
by 187 towers and the Company has agreed with Cingular Wireless LLC
("Cingular"), subject to certain conditions, to transfer the Company's interest
in 545 SBC towers to Cingular. Upon the closing of these transactions, the
Company will receive net cash proceeds of $98 million (which it will use to
repay debt under its existing credit facility) and Holdings will issue
12,144,381 shares of its common stock to SBC. In addition, the Company has
terminated its build-to-suit contract with Cingular.
The Company is currently negotiating new compensation and incentive
arrangements with key members of its management. It is a condition to the
closing of the issuance of the New Term Notes that new compensation arrangements
be reached with key members of the Company's management on terms satisfactory to
Welsh, Carson. No agreement has been reached on those arrangements and no
assurance can be given that we will be able to do so on terms satisfactory to
Welsh, Carson. We expect that such new management arrangements will involve the
issuance of a significant number of stock options.
The Company is also seeking all necessary bank consents from the lenders
under our existing credit facility. It is a condition to the closing of the
issuance of the New Term Notes that our existing credit facility agreement be
amended in form and substance satisfactory to Welsh, Carson. We have not yet
reached agreement with our lenders as to the terms of an amendment to our
existing credit facility and no assurance can be given that we will be able to
do so on terms satisfactory to Welsh, Carson.
THE NEW TERM NOTES
THE ISSUANCE OF THE NEW TERM NOTES. Holdings and Holdco have entered into a
Funding Agreement (the "Funding Agreement") with the Lenders, pursuant to which
Holdings and Holdco, as co-issuers and joint and several obligors have agreed to
issue to the Lenders up to $350 million aggregate principal amount of New Term
Notes. If SpectraSite accepts for payment pursuant to the Tender Offers Notes
having an aggregate purchase price of less than $340 million for the Tender
Offers in the aggregate, the Lenders may elect to reduce by up to the amount of
such shortfall the aggregate principal amount of New Term Notes funded by the
Lenders.
Under the terms of the New Term Notes, Holdings and Holdco will be subject
to certain covenants, including restrictions on the ability of Holdings, Holdco
and Holdings' restricted subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, make distributions
on or redeem capital stock, redeem, repurchase or refinance certain
indebtedness, make investments, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with
affiliates, create liens, enter into sale or leaseback arrangements and merge,
consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The New Term Notes
will restrict Holdco's ability to make distributions to Holdings (although it
will permit distributions to pay interest on Holdings' outstanding Notes, or
refinancings thereof, and will permit other distributions subject to
satisfaction of various financial covenants) and will restrict Holdings' ability
to repay or repurchase its debt. Holdco has also agreed to limit its activities
to holding the capital stock of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, performing its obligations under the terms of the New Term Notes
and its guarantee of an existing credit facility, certain other activities
relating to financing transactions of Holdings and its subsidiaries and other
activities incidental to the above. Holdings has agreed that it will not own or
make any investments other than its ownership in Holdco, subject to limited
exceptions. The covenants are generally more restrictive than those contained in
Holdings' other notes, particularly with respect to the incurrence of subsidiary
indebtedness and secured debt and the ability to make restricted payments. Upon
certain transfers, these covenants will become substantially similar to those
contained in the Notes.
Principal, interest and maturity. The New Term Notes will bear interest at
a rate of 12.875% per annum. Interest will be payable in arrears semi-annually
in cash or, at the option of Holdings and Holdco, shall accrue and be compounded
semi-annually. Accrued and unpaid interest will accumulate and be paid on the
conversion date in cash or in stock (at 95% of the then-current market price of
the Holdings' common stock determined using a five-day trading average) at the
election of the Holdings. The New Term Notes mature on the earlier of June 15,
2008 and the 180th day following the repayment of our existing credit facility
and any refinancing thereof.
If (i) Holdings and Holdco fail to file any registration statement required
by the Registration Rights Agreement entered into between the Lenders,
Holdings and Holdco or fail to have the registration statement declared
effective within the time periods specified in such agreement, (or if no times
are specified, filed within 90 days and declared effective within 180 days)(ii)
any such registration statement ceases to be effective or available for use when
it is required to be effective and so available for a period of five consecutive
trading days, (iii) Holdings' common stock is suspended from trading or fails to
be listed on Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange for more than 5 trading days
in any 365-day period or (iv) the shares issuable upon conversion of the New
Term Notes are not approved for listing on Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange
at any time after stockholder approval of the transaction is obtained (each, a
"Convertibility Impairment"), then Holdings and Holdco will be required to pay,
on and from the date of the relevant Convertibility Impairment, (a) in the case
of a Convertibility Impairment in (i), (ii) or (iv) above (except to the extent
a failure under (iv) is the result of a Convertibility Impairment under (iii)),
additional interest of 0.75% per annum for the first 30 days, increasing by
0.75% per annum for each subsequent 30 day period (up to a maximum of 5 1/8%)
until (but excluding the date on which) all such impairments are remedied, or
(b) in the case of a Convertibility Impairment in (iii) above, additional
interest of 0.4% per annum for the first 90 days, increasing by 0.4% per annum
for each subsequent 90 day period (up to a maximum of 2.0%) until (but excluding
the date on which) all such impairments are remedied. In the event of multiple
Convertibility Impairments, additional interest shall accrue each day only in
respect of the one Convertibility Impairment that would result in the highest
additional interest for such day.
Conversion into Common Stock. The New Term Notes will be convertible, in
whole or in part, into shares of common stock of Holdings (the "New Shares") at
the option of the Lenders at a conversion of price of $0.65 principal amount of
New Term Notes per share, subject to adjustment as a result of customary
anti-dilution provisions. The New Term Notes will be convertible at any time
following the receipt of shareholder approval for the issuance of the New
Shares, which Holdings has agreed to seek at a meeting of stockholders which is
expected to take place after completion of the Tender Offers.
Holders of more than a majority of Holdings' common stock have entered into
a Voting Agreement under which each stockholder has agreed to vote all shares of
Holdings' stock owned by it to approve the issuance of common stock upon
conversion of the New Term Notes and the voting rights of the New Term Notes
described below.
Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or listing
rules, following stockholder approval, holders of the New Term Notes will vote
on an as-converted basis (and as if accrued interest is paid in stock at
conversion) as a single class together with the holders of shares of common
stock of Holdings following stockholder approval. The Lenders' voting rights are
subject to limitations in the Stockholders' Agreement described below. In
connection with certain transactions prior to the fifth anniversary of the issue
date, the voting rights of the New Term Notes will terminate.
Optional Redemption. After the third anniversary of the issue date of the
New Term Notes (the "Issue Date") and on or prior to the fourth anniversary
thereof, Holdings and Holdco may redeem for cash no less than all of the
outstanding New Term Notes if (i) the volume-weighted average closing price of
Holdings' common stock over the three month period and the five consecutive
trading days immediately prior to the notice of redemption exceeds $1.50, (ii)
the indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, giving pro forma effect to
such redemption (or conversion of such of the Notes to have been redeemed), is
within a leverage ratio test set forth in the New Term Notes and projected to
continue to be within such ratio until the fourth anniversary, (iii) our
existing credit facility shall have been refinanced and fully syndicated at or
prior to such redemption to fully fund Holdings' Board-approved five-year
business plan and shall not require any amortization in excess of $50 million
prior to the second anniversary of such redemption, (iv) there shall be no
default or event of default under such credit facility after giving pro forma
effect to such redemption and (v) Holdings and Holdco shall also redeem all of
the outstanding Exchange Notes concurrently with the redemption of the New Term
Notes. Holdings will agree not to incur any indebtedness after any redemption
pursuant to this paragraph, if such incurrence would cause Holdings to fail to
meet the leverage ratio test referred to in item (ii) above at any time during
the fourth year after the Issue Date.
After the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, Holdings and Holdco may
redeem for cash no less than two-thirds of the then-outstanding New Term Notes
or no less than all of the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of New
Term Notes if such notes represent less than two-thirds of the originally issued
aggregate principal amount of New Term Notes if (i) the volume-weighted average
closing price of Holdings' common stock over the three month period and for five
consecutive trading days immediately prior to the notice of redemption exceeds
$1.50 and (ii) Holdings and Holdco shall also redeem outstanding Exchange Notes
concurrently with the redemption of the New Term Notes, pro rata with the
redemption of the New Term Notes based on the aggregate principal amount
outstanding.
The initial redemption price during the fourth and fifth year after the
Issue Date will be equal to 110% of the sum of the principal amount of the New
Term Notes redeemed plus accrued interest. The redemption price after the fifth
anniversary of the Issue Date will decline to 105% of the sum of the principal
amount of the New Term Notes redeemed plus accrued interest and, beginning 5 1/2
years after the Issue Date will be 100% of the principal amount of the New Term
Notes redeemed, plus accrued interest. The redemption price will be payable in
cash. Following any such redemption, Holdings and Holdco may redeem all, but not
less than all, of any remaining New Term Notes on the terms described herein.
Repurchase at the Holder's Option. In the event of a change of control (as
defined in the New Term Notes), Holdings and Holdco will be required to offer to
redeem the New Term Notes at a price equal to the sum of 105% of their principal
amount plus accrued interest at the date of such redemption. The New Term Notes
will require Holdings and Holdco to offer to repurchase the notes at 100% of
their outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, out of the
proceeds of certain asset sales if such proceeds are not reinvested in the
business or used to repay debt of any subsidiary of Holdco within 330 days after
receipt.
Collateral. Holdings' obligations under the New Term Notes will be secured
by a lien (second in priority to the lenders under our existing credit facility)
on the membership interests of Holdco.
Events of Default. The New Term Notes will become immediately due and
payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including (i) a
default on the payment of any interest on the New Term Notes when due, if such
default remains uncured for 30 days, (ii) a default on the payment of any
principal on the New Term Notes when due and payable at maturity, upon
redemption or otherwise, (iii) a breach of certain covenant set forth in the
terms of the New Term Notes, if such breach remains uncured for 30 days after
notice by the holders, and a breach of any other covenants for 60 days after
notice by the holders, (iv) a failure to pay beyond applicable grace periods
other indebtedness of Holdings, Holdco or a significant subsidiary in excess of
$10 million
after final maturity of such indebtedness or the acceleration of any such
indebtedness as a result of a default, (v) a failure to offer to redeem the New
Term Notes pursuant to their terms upon a change of control or failure to comply
with the terms of the New Term Notes applicable to a merger or a transfer of
assets, (vi) the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by Holdings, Holdco or
any significant subsidiary of Holdings or the commencement of a bankruptcy
proceeding against Holdings, Holdco or a significant subsidiary of Holdings and
such proceeding remains unstayed for 90 days, (vii) a final judgment or decree
for the payment of money by Holdings, Holdco or a significant subsidiary of
Holdings in excess of $10 million is rendered and either an enforcement action
is commenced or such judgment remains unpaid and unstayed for 60 days, (viii) a
breach in any of the representations and warranties made to the Lenders in
connection with the issuance of the New Term Notes, (ix) a failure to deliver
New Shares within five days of any conversion, and (x) the liens securing the
New Term Notes ceasing to be perfected or have their intended priority or
Holdings or Holdco so claiming.
Restrictions on Transfer. The New Term Notes and the New Shares will be
subject to restrictions on transfer. Holdings, Holdco, the Lenders and certain
of Holdings' other principal shareholders have entered into a Stockholders'
Agreement regarding the composition of Holdings' board of directors and other
matters. Holdings and Holdco have also granted registration rights to the
Lenders with respect to sales of the New Shares and the New Term Notes.
Conditions to Funding. The funding of the New Term Notes is subject to
certain conditions, including without limitation:
o the concurrent consummation of the Tender Offers to the extent
necessary to satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition;
o the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by Holdings
and Holdco in connection with the issuance of the New Term Notes;
o the integration of Holdco into the Company's corporate structure;
o the receipt of all necessary consents and amendments from the lenders
under our existing credit facility in form and substance satisfactory
to Welsh, Carson;
o the adoption of compensation and incentive arrangements with the key
members of the Company's management that are satisfactory to the
Lenders in their reasonable discretion;

Term Notes;
o the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Cingular

opinion to the effect that the sale of the New Term Notes is fair from
a financial point of view to Holdings and its subsidiaries;
o the absence (in the good faith judgment of the purchasers of the New
Term Notes) of a material adverse effect on Holdings and its
subsidiaries since December 31, 2001, and
o the requirement that the board of directors of Holdings have the

Holdings' stockholders agreement that is to become effective
concurrently with the issuance of the New Term Notes.
In connection with the Funding Agreement, Holdings has agreed to pay the
Lenders (i) a fee equal to 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of New Term
Notes that the Lenders have committed to purchase (the "Funding Commitment")
payable upon the signing of the Funding
Agreement; (ii) a fee equal to 0.75% of aggregate principal amount of New Term
Notes issued to the Lenders at the time of funding of the New Term Notes,
payable at the time of funding of the New Term Notes; (iii) an additional fee
equal to 3% of the Funding Commitment (as reduced by the payment, if any, of the
fee described in clause (iv)), if the Tender Offers are not consummated and if
at least $200 million in aggregate principal amount of the existing indebtedness
of Holdings and its subsidiaries other than the existing credit facility is
restructured, repurchased or retired in a transaction not requiring at least
$100 million of third-party financing that is commenced within six months
following the termination or abandonment of the Tender Offers (other than as a
result of a default by the Lenders), payable at the closing of such other
transaction; and (iv) an additional fee equal to 2% of the Funding Commitment,
if the Tender Offers are not consummated and if: (a) the Lenders are ready,
willing and able to fund the New Term Notes; (b) the Tender Offers are not
consummated (other than as a result of the Minimum Tender Condition or the
condition regarding the concurrent funding of the New Term Notes not having been
satisfied); and (c) all conditions to the funding of the New Term Notes have
been satisfied or waived by Holdings, Holdco and the Lenders.
The fees set forth above shall be paid to the Lenders (or their designees)
in proportion to the amount of their funding obligations.
VOTING AGREEMENT. In connection with the Funding Agreement, holders of more
than a majority of Holdings' common stock have entered into a Voting Agreement
under which each stockholder agrees to vote all shares of Holdings' stock owned
by it at a meeting to approve:
o the amendment to Holdings' charter to (i) increase the amount of
Holdings' authorized common stock so that a sufficient number of
shares will be available for issuance upon the conversion of the New
Term Notes and the Exchange Notes, (ii) provide for voting provisions
for the New Term Notes and (iii) effect a reverse stock split.
o the issuance of Holdings' shares upon conversion of the New Term Notes
and the Exchange Notes, the voting rights of the New Term Notes, and
any other matters relating to the transactions contemplated by the
Funding Agreement requiring a stockholder vote.
STOCKHOLDERS' AGREEMENT. In connection with the Refinancing Transactions,
Holdings and Holdco and certain of Holdings' stockholders entered into a Fourth
Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement, which will supersede and replace
the existing stockholders' agreement upon the closing of the Refinancing
Transactions.
The Stockholders' Agreement contains a voting agreement provision under
which the Company and the stockholders party to the agreement agree to vote the
voting securities held by them and to take all other appropriate action to:
o cause the number of directors of Holdings to be nine;
o elect three Welsh, Carson designees to Holdings' board. Welsh,
Carson's right to designate (i) one of the three board seats will
terminate when Welsh, Carson has sold to third parties more than 80%
of Holdings' voting securities beneficially owned by Welsh, Carson
immediately following completion of the Refinancing Transactions, (ii)
two of the three board seats will terminate when Welsh, Carson has
sold to third parties more than 90% of Holdings' voting securities
beneficially owned by Welsh, Carson immediately following the
completion of the Refinancing Transactions, and (iii) all three board
seats will terminate when Welsh, Carson has sold to third parties more
than 95% of Holdings' voting securities beneficially owned by Welsh,
Carson immediately following completion of the Refinancing
Transactions;
o elect at least two independent directors to Holdings' board, all of
whom shall be reasonably acceptable to Welsh, Carson;
o elect one Nextel designee and one SBC designee to Holdings' board
until such shareholder, as applicable, either (i) sells to third
parties 50% or more of the shares beneficially owned by it immediately
following completion of the Refinancing Transactions or (ii) ceases to
own at least 1%, in the case of Nextel, or 2%, in the case of SBC, of
Holdings' outstanding common
stock (calculated on a fully-diluted basis and giving effect to the
conversion of the New Term Notes and the Exchange Notes). When each of
Nextel and SBC lose the right to designate a director, any director
replacing the director formerly designated by Nextel or SBC, as the case
may be, will be an independent director reasonably acceptable to Welsh,
Carson;
o elect the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as director; and
o elect Steven Shindler as a director. Upon Mr. Shindler's resignation
or removal, his board seat will be filled by an independent director
reasonably acceptable to Welsh, Carson.
Unless terminated earlier as provided above, all of the voting provisions
described above will terminate on February 1, 2008.
The Stockholders' Agreement further provides that, for so long as they are
entitled to designate a member of the board, SBC and Nextel each have the right
to designate one representative to attend board meetings as an observer. For so
long as the Trimaran Group, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and their
respective affiliates together hold more than 2% of Holdings' common stock
(calculated on a fully-diluted basis, including conversion of the New Term Notes
and the Exchange Notes), CIBC shall have the right to designate one
representative to attend the board meetings as an observer.
The Stockholders' Agreement also provides that the Lenders may not transfer
the New Term Notes or New Shares for five years following completion of the
Refinancing Transactions, subject to certain exceptions, including transfers (i)
to certain permitted transferees, (ii) in a registered public offering or a
broadly distributed non-registered public offering, (iii) certain sale
transactions, including a tender offer, which are approved by a majority of the
disinterested directors and (iv) in private transfers to the extent that the
selling holder does not know or have reason to believe that the transferee
would, individually or together with a group, beneficially own more than 7% of
Holdings' voting securities following the transfer. The Lenders have also agreed
not to transfer any Holdings' stock acquired after the completion of the
Refinancing Transactions to any person or group (other than certain permitted
transferees) if the selling holder knows or has reason to believe that the
transferee would beneficially own more than 7% of Holdings' voting securities
following the transfer.
For the five year period following completion of the Refinancing
Transactions, the Lenders have agreed they will not, without the approval of a
majority of disinterested directors, (i) publicly propose to enter into a
business combination with the Company, (ii) solicit proxies, (iii) form, join or
participate in a group in connection with matters voted on by Holdings'
stockholders, (iv) advise or assist any person in connection with the foregoing
or publicly disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with
respect to any of the foregoing. The restrictions described above will lapse if
the Company enters into certain acquisition transactions or if certain
unsolicited approaches are made to the Company and not rejected.
The Stockholders' Agreement also provides that the voting rights of the
Lenders under the New Term Notes with respect to all voting securities of
Holdings held by them will be capped at 32% of the total outstanding voting
rights. Welsh, Carson also has entered into Registration Rights Agreements with
Holdings as to Holdings' securities owned by Welsh, Carson, including the New
Term Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion thereof.
AMENDMENTS TO SBC AND CINGULAR AGREEMENTS. The Company has previously
agreed to acquire leasehold or sub-leasehold rights in up to 3,600 tower sites
from SBC Communications Inc. (together with its affiliates, "SBC"). Since an
initial closing on December 14, 2000 the Company has acquired from SBC rights in
2,706 tower sites for which the Company paid approximately $679 million in cash
and issued approximately 9.9 million shares of common stock. Under the
agreement, the Company was scheduled to acquire 894 additional tower sites in a
series of closings beginning in April 2003 and ending on January 1, 2004. The
Company had also agreed to build tower sites for Cingular, an affiliate of SBC,
under a five year exclusive build-to-suit agreement. Cingular leases space on
these towers from the Company.
On May 15, 2002, the Company and Cingular entered into agreements to
transfer the Company's interest in 545 SBC towers located in California and
Nevada to Cingular and the Company and SBC agreed to reduce the Company's future
sublease commitment to SBC by 187
towers, to 3,413 towers (collectively, the "Cingular Transactions"). All of the
187 towers are located in California and Nevada and the Company is scheduled to
complete the acquisition of the remaining 707 SBC tower sites in a series of
closings beginning in April 2003 and ending on January 1, 2004.
Under the Cingular Transactions, if the Company were to acquire all 3,413
towers subject to the agreements, the aggregate consideration payable to SBC
would consist of approximately $862.5 million in cash and $287.5 million in
Holdings' common stock, valued at $22.74 per share. The stock consideration is
subject to an adjustment payment based on the average closing price of Holdings'
stock during the 60-day period immediately preceding the last date on which
towers will be acquired, which is expected to be January 1, 2004.
As a part of the Cingular Transactions, the Company will issue 12,144,381
shares of Holdings' common stock to SBC in full satisfaction of its obligation
to pay the stock portion of the consideration for the remaining 707 towers to be
acquired from SBC and to satisfy the total stock adjustment payment to SBC under
the agreement to sublease. Accordingly, upon completion of Cingular and SBC
amendments, Holdings will have issued a total of 22,021,508 shares to SBC under
the agreement to sublease and will have no further obligation to issue any
additional shares to SBC in the future, including any adjustment payment.
SpectraSite would receive net cash proceeds of $98 million at closing,
which will be used to reduce borrowings under its credit facility. The closing
of the Cingular Transactions is subject to the closing of the Tender Offers to
the extent specified by the amendments, the consent of the lenders under our
existing credit facility, the expiration or termination of the applicable
Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period and other customary closing conditions. In
addition, the transaction with SBC to reduce SpectraSite's future sublease
commitment is also subject to the receipt of certain third party consents. In
the event such consents are not obtained at or prior to closing and all other
conditions are satisfied, that portion of the transaction will not close, and
SpectraSite will receive $108 million in cash from Cingular at the closing for
the transfer of the 545 towers.
In addition, the Company has terminated its build-to-suit agreement with
Cingular. Except for continuing to perform certain work during a transition
period, this termination eliminates all of the Company's required capital
commitments under the build-to-suit agreement and provides for reimbursement to
the Company by Cingular for completed towers (except for the 36 completed towers
that will be retained by the Company and a portion will be leased to Cingular)
upon transfer of those towers to Cingular, as well as for towers under
construction upon completion and transfer of those towers to Cingular, and other
work in progress.
NEW COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE ARRANGEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT. It is a
condition to the closing of the New Term Notes financing that new compensation
arrangements be reached with key members of the Company's management on terms in
form and substance satisfactory to Welsh, Carson. No agreement has been reached
on these arrangements and no assurance can be given that we will be able to do
so on terms satisfactory to Welsh, Carson. We expect that such new arrangements
will involve the issuance of a significant number of stock options.
CREDIT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT. In connection with the Refinancing
Transactions, we intend to seek certain amendments under our existing credit
agreement, including amendments to the financial maintenance ratios. It is a
condition to the closing of the issuance of the New Term Notes that our existing
credit agreement be amended in form and substance satisfactory to Welsh, Carson.
No bank amendment has been agreed to and no assurance can be given that an
amendment will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us or Welsh, Carson. In
connection with this amendment, the Company expects that the banks will seek to
tighten the restrictive provisions of the credit facility and/or may seek to
reduce the availability thereunder.

consolidated pro forma financial data give effect to
the Refinancing Transactions as if such transactions occurred on March 31, 2002
in the case of the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and as if such
transactions occurred on January 1, 2001 in the case of the pro forma
consolidated statements of operations. The Refinancing Transactions reflected in
the unaudited pro forma financial data include:
(1) the funding of $350 million of New Term Notes by Welsh, Carson and the
use of the proceeds to refinance $10 million of indebtedness under our
existing credit facility and to fund purchases of Notes pursuant to
the Tender Offers;
(2) the Cingular Transactions; and
(3) the Tender Offers.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data is also further adjusted for
the Exchange Offers.
The pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial data are based upon available information and upon certain assumptions
that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. In particular, the
adjustments with respect to the Tender Offers assume that the Company purchased
for an aggregate of $340 million:
o $107.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 10 3/4% Notes;
o $102.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 12 1/2% Notes;
o $118.3 million aggregate accreted amount of the 12% Notes;
o $293.5 million aggregate accreted amount of the 11 1/4% Notes; and
o $268.1 million aggregate accreted amount of the 12 7/8% Notes.
The adjustments with respect to the Exchange Offers assume that $75 million
aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes was exchanged for:
o $24.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 10 3/4% Notes;
o $23.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 12 1/2% Notes;
o $29.4 million aggregate accreted amount of the 12% Notes;
o $82.5 million aggregate accreted amount of the 11 1/4% Notes; and
o $63.6 million aggregate accreted amount of the 12 7/8% Notes.
The actual amount of Notes acquired in, and that remain outstanding
following, the Exchange Offers and the Tender Offers and the amount of Exchange
Notes issued in connection with the Exchange Offers are expected to vary from
these assumptions. Accordingly, it is possible that significantly different
results may occur as a result of the Refinancing Transactions than those
reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data are based on the
historical financial statements of the Company and the adjustments described in
the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma financial data do not purport to
represent what the Company's financial position or results of operations
actually would have been if the Refinancing Transactions had in fact occurred on
the dates indicated and are not necessarily representative of the Company's
financial position or results of operations at any future date.

(f) EBITDA consists of operating income (loss) before depreciation and

non-recurring charges. EBITDA is provided because it is a measure commonly
used in the communications site industry as a measure of a company's
operating performance. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance
under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered
an alternative to net income as a measure of performance or to cash flow as
a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable with similarly
titled measures for other companies. We believe that EBITDA can assist in
comparing company performance on a consistent basis without regard to
depreciation and amortization expense, which may vary significantly
depending on accounting methods where acquisitions are involved or
non-operating factors such as historical cost basis.
MATERIAL NONRECURRING CHARGES AND CREDITS
The following schedule reflects material nonrecurring charges and credits and
related tax effects that result directly from the transactions and which will be
included in income within the 12 months succeeding the transactions. In

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Current Report, as well as certain
oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company,
including information with respect to the Company's future business plans,
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
For this purpose, any statements contained or incorporated by reference herein
that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements, subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ significantly from those described in such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements
regarding, among other things, the Company's business strategy and operations,
future expansion plans, future prospects, financial position, anticipated
revenues or losses, EBITDA, projected costs and capital expenditures, and
objectives of management. Without limiting the foregoing, the words may, will,
should, could, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts,
potential or continue or the negative of such terms and other comparable
terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a
number of important factors that could cause the Company's results to differ
materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These
factors include, but are not limited to the Company's substantial capital
requirements and leverage principally as a consequence of its ongoing
acquisitions and construction activities; the Company's dependence on demand for
wireless communications and the Company's ability to co-locate additional
tenants on its towers; the success of the Company's tower construction program;
the successful operational integration of the Company's business acquisitions;
competition in the communications tower industry, including the impact of
technological developments and future regulatory actions and conditions in its
operating areas. More information regarding these and other risks and
uncertainties can be found in the Company's SEC filings and public
announcements. The Issuers do not undertake and specifically declines any
obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or
