Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements present the pro forma combined financial position and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of Crown Castle International Corp. ("Crown Castle" or "CCIC") and Tower Sites (a component of AT&T Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("AT&T")), after giving effect to (1) the acquisition by Crown Castle, through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, of the exclusive right to lease, operate or otherwise acquire approximately 9,675 wireless communication sites (the "Sites") from certain subsidiaries of AT&T for approximately $4.827 billion in cash (the "AT&T Transaction"), and (2) the related financings described herein (collectively, together with the AT&T Transaction, the "Transactions"). The adjustments set forth herein and described in the accompanying footnotes are intended to reflect the impact of the Transactions on Crown Castle. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements and have been developed from the (1) audited consolidated financial statements of Crown Castle contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Crown Castle contained in its periodic report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and (2) Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses of Tower Sites (a component of AT&T) for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Tower Sites is not a legal entity and references to "Tower Sites" refer to the collective operations of the Sites. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared using the purchase method of accounting, with Crown Castle treated as the acquirer and as if the Transactions had been consummated on September 30, 2013 for purposes of preparing the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet, and on January 1, 2012 for purposes of preparing the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Crown Castle is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from AT&T, including property and equipment and intangible assets. Given the size and timing of the AT&T Transaction, the amount of certain assets and liabilities presented are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and the third-party valuation is finalized. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not finalized relate to fair values of property and equipment, intangibles and goodwill. However, as indicated in note (B) to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Crown Castle made preliminary estimates of the fair values necessary to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on the assumption that substantially all of the leased Sites in the AT&T Transaction are accounted for as prepaid capital leases. Any excess purchase price over the acquired net assets, as adjusted to reflect estimated fair values, has been recorded as goodwill. Actual results may differ from these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements once Crown Castle has completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the required purchase price allocations. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.
On January 1, 2014, Crown Castle began operating as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, Crown Castle will generally be entitled to a deduction for dividends that it pays and therefore should not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its net taxable income that is currently distributed to its stockholders. However, Crown Castle may be subject to certain federal, state, local and foreign taxes on its income and assets, including alternative minimum taxes, taxes on any undistributed income, and state, local or foreign income, franchise, property and transfer taxes. As a result of Crown Castle's REIT election, its financial statements will no longer include deferred tax assets and liabilities related to entities included in the REIT. As a result during the fourth quarter of 2013, Crown Castle de-recognized the net deferred tax assets related to the entities included in the REIT and recorded a corresponding non-cash income tax charge, leaving (1) a remaining deferred tax asset of approximately $24 million related to foreign taxes, (2) a federal deferred tax liability of approximately $20 million and (3) a state deferred tax liability of approximately $15 million, relating to our taxable REIT subsidiaries. The de-recognition of the deferred tax assets and liabilities was recorded when Crown Castle completed all necessary actions to qualify as a REIT and obtained final approval from its board of directors in December of 2013. The assets and operations from the AT&T Transaction are included in the REIT and, as a result, no deferred income tax assets or liabilities were recognized in conjunction with the AT&T Transaction. No pro forma adjustments were made related to Crown Castle's REIT conversion; including with respect to the non-recurring de-recognition of Crown Castle's existing deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the entities included in the REIT.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of Crown Castle would have been had the Transactions occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the realization of potential cost savings from operating efficiencies or restructuring costs that may result from the AT&T Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Crown Castle previously filed on its
Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and the Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses of Tower Sites (a component of AT&T) and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this filing.

Additionally, accumulated deficit was reduced by $12.2 million (reflected as an increase in other accrued liabilities of $11.0 million and a decrease in cash of $1.2 million) for estimated transaction costs directly related to the AT&T Transaction that would be expensed. Estimated transaction costs have been excluded from the pro forma statement of operations as they reflect non-recurring charges directly related to the AT&T Transaction.
On January 1, 2014, Crown Castle began operating as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The assets and operations from the AT&T Transaction are included in the REIT and, as a result, no deferred tax assets or liabilities are reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation. No other adjustment to these pro forma financial statements were made related to Crown Castle's REIT conversion.
On October 28, 2013, Crown Castle issued 41.4 million shares of its common stock ("Common Stock"), par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock Offering"), which generated net proceeds of approximately $3.0 billion. As of September 30, 2013, pro forma for the Common Stock Offering Crown Castle had approximately 334 million shares of Common Stock outstanding. The net proceeds from the Common Stock Offering were used to partially fund the AT&T Transaction.
On October 28, 2013, Crown Castle also issued 9.8 million shares of its 4.50% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $0.01 per share ("4.50% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock"), which generated net proceeds of approximately $949.6 million. The holders of the 4.50% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, when and if declared by Crown Castle's board of directors, at the rate of 4.50% per annum payable on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2014, and to, and including, November 1, 2016. The dividends may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, shares of Common Stock or any

(tabular dollars in thousands)
combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 4.50% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock were used to partially fund the AT&T Transaction.
Unless converted earlier, each outstanding share of the 4.50% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on November 1, 2016 into between 1.0811 and 1.3513 shares of Common Stock, depending on the applicable market value of the Common Stock and subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. At any time prior to November 1, 2016, holders of the 4.50% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may elect to convert all or a portion of their shares into Common Stock at the minimum conversion rate of 1.0811, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
Debt Financings
Crown Castle drew $865 million from its Crown Castle Operating Company ("CCOC") Revolving Credit Facility ("Credit Facility") in order to partially fund the AT&T Transaction at closing on December 16, 2013. On December 30, 2013, Crown Castle repaid $700 million on the Credit Facility using (1) the net proceeds of $493.6 million from the $500 million tranche B-2 incremental term loans ("Incremental Tranche B Term Loans"), (2) the net proceeds of $199.4 million from the $200 million tranche A incremental term loans ("Incremental Tranche A Term Loans") and (3) cash on hand. The Incremental Tranche B Term Loans and the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans were issued pursuant to the Incremental Facility Amendment No. 3 and Maturity Date Extension dated December 30, 2013, among Crown Castle, CCOC, certain subsidiaries of CCOC, the lenders party thereto and the Royal Bank of Scotland ("RBS"), as administrator agent, to the Credit Agreement dated as of January 31, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the ("Credit Agreement") by and among CCOC, Crown Castle, the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto, RBS, as administrative agent, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc., as co-documentation agent.
The Incremental Tranche B Term Loans will mature on January 31, 2021 and have substantially the same terms as the CCOC's outstanding tranche B term loans under the Credit Agreement. The Incremental Tranche B Term Loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25% to 2.50% (with LIBOR subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum), based on CCOC's total net leverage ratio.
The Incremental Tranche A Term Loans will mature on November 1, 2018, or, if the aggregate principal amount of CCOC's outstanding tranche B term loans under the Credit Agreement (the maturity date of which has not been extended to a date that is on or after July 31, 2019) is less than or equal to $500 million, January 31, 2019. The Incremental Tranche A Term Loans have substantially the same terms as the CCOC's outstanding tranche A term loans under the Credit Agreement. The Incremental Tranche A Term Loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.5% to 2.25%, based on CCOC's total net leverage ratio.
The Credit Facility, Incremental Tranche A Term Loans and Incremental Tranche B Term Loans currently bear interest at 2.17%, 2.17% and 3.25%, respectively. As a result, a hypothetical unfavorable fluctuation in market interest rates on these borrowings of 1/8 of a percent point over a 12 month period would increase Crown Castle's interest expense by approximately $1 million when giving effect to its LIBOR floor and would increase its interest expense by approximately $5 million exclusive of the impact of its LIBOR floor.
