Management signed a definitive agreement to sell the Fiber segment to Zayo Group Holdings Inc. and EQT for $8.5 billion, expected to close in the first half of 2026, pending regulatory approvals.

The company initiated the 2023 and 2024 Restructuring Plans, involving workforce reductions, office consolidations, and changes in Fiber segment strategy, aimed at reducing costs and improving operational efficiency.

The company is updating its capital allocation framework to focus more on free cash flow generation and financial flexibility, which is expected to result in a dividend reduction beginning in Q2 2025.

As part of the 2023 Restructuring Plan, the company discontinued installation services as a Towers product offering, leading to a decrease in services and other revenues.

Discussions with tenants resulted in the cancellation of approximately 7,000 greenfield small cell nodes in the contracted backlog, leading to an asset write-down charge.

The company experienced significant executive management changes, including the retirement of the CEO and the appointment of a new CEO, as well as the announcement of the departure of the CFO.

A substantial portion of revenues is derived from a small number of tenants (T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless), and the loss, consolidation, or financial instability of any of such tenants may materially decrease revenues.

The pendency of the sale of the Fiber Business to Zayo and EQT may have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.

The company has a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could adversely affect its ability to react to changes in the business and limit its ability to take a number of actions.

Competition in the industry may make it more difficult to negotiate favorable rates on new or renewing tenant contracts, potentially impacting revenue growth and margins.

New technologies may reduce demand for the company's communications infrastructure or negatively impact revenues, potentially impacting long-term growth.

The Fiber business generally has different competitors than those in the Towers business, including other owners of fiber, as well as new entrants into small cells and fiber solutions, some of which may have larger networks, greater financial resources or more experience in managing such assets than we have.

The 2023 and 2024 Restructuring Plans are part of efforts to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency, including workforce reductions and office consolidations.

Tenant additions on existing communications infrastructure are achieved at a low incremental operating cost, delivering high incremental returns.

The company is focused on new technologies to provide data to a given geographic area or which may otherwise serve as a substitute or alternative to our communications infrastructure.

There may be risks and challenges associated with small cells and fiber solutions being comparatively new and emerging technologies that are continuing to evolve, and there may be other risks related to small cells and fiber solutions of which we are not yet aware.

Improvements in the efficiency, architecture, and design of communication networks may reduce the demand for our communications infrastructure.

The company is updating its capital allocation framework to focus more on free cash flow generation and financial flexibility, which is expected to result in a dividend reduction beginning in Q2 2025.

Discretionary capital expenditures are predominately resulting from the construction of new communications infrastructure and improvements to existing communications infrastructure in order to support additional tenants.
