American Tower Corporation (the “Company”) is hereby providing certain information about the closing of its previously announced transaction with certain investment vehicles affiliated with Stonepeak Partners LP (“Stonepeak”).

The Company currently holds a common equity interest of approximately 77% in its U.S. data center business. As previously disclosed, on a fully converted basis, which is expected to occur four years from the date of closing, and on the basis of the currently outstanding equity, the Company will hold a controlling ownership interest in its U.S. data center business of approximately 71%, with the Stonepeak investment vehicles holding approximately 29%.
