Boots Capital’s Nominees Fill the Tower Operating Expertise that is Sorely Missing From and Desperately Needed on CCI’s Board

 

Boots Capital’s Nominees are Committed to Working Collaboratively with the Board and Focused on Enhancing Operational Excellence and Unlocking Meaningful Value for all Shareholders

 

Urges Shareholders to Vote the GOLD Proxy Card “FOR” Boots Capital’s Four Nominees and “WITHHOLD” on ALL Crown Castle Nominees

Houston – May 1, 2024 – Boots Capital Management, LLC (“Boots Capital”), an investment vehicle led by Ted B. Miller, co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer of Crown Castle Inc., (NYSE: CCI) (“Crown Castle” or the “Company”), today released a presentation highlighting why change to Crown Castle’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is urgently needed, and detailing how Boots Capital’s four nominees, Ted B. Miller, Charles C. Green, David P. Wheeler, and Tripp H. Rice, have the right leadership skills, operating plan, and corporate governance track record to restore value for shareholders and all stakeholders.

 

Boots Capital encourages all shareholders to view the presentation, which can be found at rebootcrowncastle.com.

 

Mr. Miller stated: “Crown Castle’s Board has no one to blame other than themselves for allowing the Company to pursue a fiber acquisition strategy that has cost shareholders more than $22 billion, for failing to have a proper CEO succession strategy in place, and for presiding over significant relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) underperformance over 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, and 10-year periods. Yet, Crown Castle would rather waste substantial additional shareholder resources on a proxy contest and ask for even more time in support of the same directors who have failed so spectacularly for more than a decade.

 

“If elected, Boots Capital’s nominees will give the Crown Castle Board the tools, skills, and a fresh, experienced view for the major turnaround that will benefit all shareholders. We believe that our expertise and plan – finalizing the fiber sale, refocusing the Company on tower efficiency and growth, resetting compensation plans, reviving customer relationships, rebuilding shareholder trust, and invigorating employees – will help reboot Crown Castle and drive significant, long-term value creation.”

 

WE URGE YOU TO VOTE “FOR” ON THE GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY IN SUPPORT OF OUR FOUR HIGHLY-QUALIFIED NOMINEES

 

We are asking for your support to help us create long-term, sustainable value at Crown Castle. We urge you to protect the value of your investment and vote the GOLD proxy card today. With your vote, we will be one step closer to ensuring Crown Castle is on a better path to creating lasting shareholder value.

 

Please vote “FOR” Boots Capital’s Nominees on the GOLD proxy card TODAY.

 

You can vote by Internet or by signing and dating the enclosed GOLD proxy card or GOLD voting instruction form and mailing it in the postage paid envelope provided. We urge you NOT to vote using any white proxy card or voting instruction form you receive from Crown Castle. Please discard the white proxy card.

 

 

If you have any questions about how to vote your shares, please contact our proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali, by telephone 1-800-662-5200 or 203-658-9400 or email at Boots@info.morrowsodali.com.

Our approach was to compel the Company to sell the asset by bringing strong market interest • As co - founder of the Company, Mr. Miller and the rest of the Boots team were primarily interested in driving shareholder value and, as such, the Boots team constructed a productive, respectful and friendly approach • Mr. Miller reached out to Crown Castle Chairman Rob Bartolo, five times between August and December 2023 and received no response. It was not until December 21, one day after Crown Castle entered into the cooperation agreement with Elliott, that Mr. Bartolo replied • Mr. Bartolo’s behavior, at that critical moment, demonstrated bias by signing a restrictive agreement with an activist hedge fund • Elliott’s arrival appeared to complicate the Board’s response; given that it entered into the agreement mere weeks before the nomination window for shareholder proposals opened, and the “cooperation agreement” all but disqualified Boots nominees and the Boots plan from the start • Despite successfully compelling the Company to claw back the cooperation agreement and even agreeing with the Company to a “fresh look” review of our nominees, the Board would not meaningfully engage with the Boots team • The Board’s lack of sincerity is best captured in the Board’s recommendation, which states, “Boots nominees [which include the Company’s co - founder and founding CFO] do not possess the relevant expertise and experience” (Crown Castle 2.20.24 press release) • Furthermore, the Board provided no response or counter to Mr. Miller’s offer to settle for two Board seats and forego the Executive Chairman role • In sum, the Company has resolved to take up lengthy, costly litigation and proxy fight, and build an entirely redundant fiber plan, instead of working alongside the Boots team, whom it acknowledge it is aligned with in principle. The bill for this arrogance will be at least ~$14.7mm to shareholders according to the Company’s proxy statement We are confused by the lack of meaningful engagement and excessive costs incurred to rebuff the Boots team given the overall alignment between the parties 37 Poor, Performative Engagement With the Boots Team Mistake #7 Sham Engagement TR0 TR1

©2024 Boots Capital Management, LLC PROJECT BOOTS • Despite Crown Castle’s comments in its letter to shareholders on 4/24/24 that: “ceding the control that Mr. Miller is demanding could jeopardize Crown Castle’s growth prospects and optimization” this has never been about control • Boots originally proposed Ted Miller would serve as Executive Chairman given the recent departure of the CEO and the lack of a succession plan • The Boots settlement offer eliminated the Executive Chairman role in part because Mr. Bartolo stated that the request might be hampering the CEO search process. This is an example of why the “self - serving” narrative propagated by the Company is false. • Boots’ proxy campaign is about BOD seats, not specific BOD roles. Those decisions rest with the Board, which by definition Boots nominees will not control • Since the beginning, our proposal has been about four directors out of twelve – by definition this is not control • Furthermore, the Boots Settlement proposed only two directors which further emphasizes this has not been about control Crown Castle’s assertions that this is all about ceding control to Ted Miller is PRIMA FACIE FALSE 41 Boots Objective: Cooperation, not Control Mistake #7 Sham Engagement

©2024 Boots Capital Management, LLC PROJECT BOOTS 74 Q Aren’t you doing this just to get your expenses reimbursed? A This makes no sense on its face. We have approximately $100mm in Company exposure and have devoted more than seven months of eff ort to improving Crown Castle. We’re not in it to get a few million dollars back Q You haven’t been at Crown Castle for more than two decades. Your experience is stale. A Messrs. Miller and Rice have been building entrepreneurial companies on the forefront of advances in the tower industry for o ver two decades. Since leaving Crown Castle, Chuck Green has served on 9 boards and has overseen over 150,000 towers as an executive or board member and has le d 23 carveouts/Sale Leasebacks in 15 countries on 4 continents. We are deeply enmeshed in the tower industry at every level Q Elliott has the same plan as you. Why should you be appointed to the Board when there’s already an activist in place? A We never have been a repeat “activist,” but rather a deeply concerned and committed company founder. We are prepared to be lo ng - term investors in the Company, likely far longer than Elliott. And while Elliott brings some accountability to the board, its directors have no tow er - company experience or the depth of experience that ours do. We view our roles as complementary to help restore a company that has lost its path. Q Asking for “executive chairman” is aggressively pushing for de facto control of the company A Our executive chairman approach was launched when the company had lost its CEO and needed immediate guidance. We have offered to settle with the Board and drop our executive chairman request. But the board never responded to this settlement offer. Addressing the Hard Questions/Set the Record Straight Boots Operational & Governance Excellence

©2024 Boots Capital Management, LLC PROJECT BOOTS 75 Q Your lawsuit is frivolous and distracting A We could not stand idly by as the Board continues to support a legal framework with Elliott that deprived shareholders of a f air election. We have been thanked by investors for ensuring the Board operates fairly and properly, and repeated Delaware court rulings and directives have rat ifi ed the merits of our case Q Your directors harm the diversity of the Crown Castle Board A We want to do what’s best for the company. That means getting the four highest quality directors on the Board immediately. We ar e committed to diverse opinions and backgrounds and will commit to keeping the board within industry guidelines over the course of coming nomination s a nd elections Q Ted Miller’s performance as the Crown Castle CEO was subpar A Mr. Miller founded the Company and he created billions of dollars of value for investors. Even at the time of his departure – in the midst of the dot - com crash of the early 2000s – Crown Castle outperformed its peers. On a relative TSR basis, CCI outperformed AMT and SBAC during Mr. Miller’ s tenure by 8% and 1%, respectively (8/18/98 – 8/2/02). The Company contends that CCI’s $1 share price at the time of Mr. Miller’s exit demonstrates his underperformance. Share price without any context is a meaningless figure with which to measure Company performance. The context reveals that Mr. Miller de fen ded the value of CCI better than peers during an unprecedented stock market cycle. Q Is Mr. Miller doing this just to get son - in - law on the Board? A Mr. Miller understood the risks and challenges associated with putting his son - in - law, Tripp Rice, on the Boots slate and decide d to do so nonetheless given Mr. Rice’s comprehensive understanding of the Company. Mr. Rice is a significant architect of the Boots plan and large, instituti ona l shareholders have consistently remarked that they have learned a significant amount regarding CCI in discussions with Mr. Rice.

©2024 Boots Capital Management, LLC PROJECT BOOTS Selling Fiber And Small Cells Maximizes Value • Based on our diligence, investigation with a major consulting firm and publicly available information we believe selling smal l c ells and fiber together maximizes shareholder value. As our plan has always contemplated, this remains subject to review and confirmat ion by our team once non - public information becomes available to us • Attempting to split the assets creates significant technical and therefore execution risk to the Company • Furthermore, from our conversations with buyers and financing sources the combined growth profile of the enterprise and small cell business will drive valuation • Historically small cells have been responsible for 75%+ of the Fiber related capex and retaining it will continue the overwhe lmi ng majority of the cash flow drag that has impacted shareholder value FIBER SOLUTIONS SMALL CELLS Est. Annual Revenue Growth 2 - 3% 14.7+% Est. Annual Churn 10% 1 - 2% Est. Escalators 0% 1 - 2% Customer Contract Term (1) 3 - 5 years 10 - 12 years Customers Education, Healthcare, Financials Verizon, TMO (1) Assumed due to reported segment weighted average of 3 years but industry articles highlight Small Cell durations are 10 - 12 years . The combination of the valuation impact, technical risk and the cash flow dynamics establish that selling the segments together is the optimal path 95 TR0

©2024 Boots Capital Management, LLC PROJECT BOOTS 96 Technical Challenges for Small Cell & Enterprise Separation Identified Challenges Description Potential Remediation Net Impact Diversity of Site Configurations ▪ Sites can be single tenant, collocated on the same pole, or near - net locations. Additionally, some small cells can have varied configurations within those segments. Some can be entangled with the Enterprise on the premise. ▪ Sites have not conformed to a standard architecture in the process of CCI builds and acquisitions, which creates complexity ▪ Detailed and timely site - by - site separation analysis of the small cells ▪ For those with minimal documentation, site visits may be required to assess the connectivity and infrastructure ▪ Onerous technical considerations in the sample and long - term agreements that may prohibit reaching full potential commercial value of the sties ▪ Significant investment into separating the infrastructure ▪ Uncertainty that sites can be fully separated despite best efforts, but may have potential Backhaul Separation ▪ Small cells receive a connection via a lateral off the backbone and can be split further to connect different types of sites ▪ There do not appear to be aggregation points or carrier hotels where demarcs would be separated easily Transaction Timeline Alignment ▪ A separation demarc has not been selected between the Enterprise and would likely need to be configured between each scenario and aligned ▪ Site - by - site or large sample demarc scenarios to build policies ▪ TSA/MSA agreements that are long - term and costly to manage Maintenance & Prioritization ▪ Ongoing maintenance (planned & emergency) being completed and prioritized accordingly between the parties. ▪ Legal language and stiff penalties ▪ Increased downtime on the network, ▪ Reduced network performance for the customer(s) ▪ Difficulties in customer support/service since there are now multiple new layers between the customer and the supplier • The expenditures in time, legal work, field work, network augmentation, documentation, audit and true up are high enough to m ake one consider the benefit of why this would be a successful solution • The ongoing collaboration agreements between parties such as these are difficult to write, nearly impossible to enforce in th e f ield, and never possess strong enough penalties that may be levied to incentivize true collaboration. Each entity will have their own goals – which are not aligned w ith the other
