Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. The total amount of funds required to purchase the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as described in Item 5 below, was approximately $126,575,000. Under a prearranged plan of reorganization of the Issuer, and pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 25, 2000, among Pinnacle Holdings, Inc., Pinnacle Towers, Inc., FRIT and Greenhill Capital Partners, L.P. and its related partnerships identified therein, FRIT and FPIF acquired, through Fortress Pinnacle Acquisition LLC ("FPA"), 16,366,598 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $81,832,990 and elected to receive an additional 6,775,272 shares of Common Stock in lieu of approximately $33,876,000 of cash for the 10% senior notes due 2008 it held in the predecessor company of the Issuer. FRIT PINN, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FRIT, held an approximate 78% membership interest of FPA and FPIF held the remaining approximate 22% membership interest. In November 2002, FPA transferred 192,924 shares of Common Stock and 7,300 shares of Common Stock to the University of Minnesota Foundation and 100 accredited investors, respectively. In December 2002, FRIT PINN purchased 1,440,000 shares of Common Stock from Abrams Capital Partners I, L.P., Abrams Capital Partners II, L.P., and Whitecrest Partners, L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.3 million. In April 2004, FPA exercised a warrant it held for 418,050 shares of Common Stock at an aggregate exercise price of $3.6 million. In June 2004, in connection with the Issuer's initial public offering, FRIT PINN was granted an option to purchase 644,000 shares of Common Stock by the Issuer, for purposes of compensating FRIT PINN for successful efforts in raising capital in the Issuer's initial public offering. In December 2004, FRIT PINN distributed its option to purchase 644,000 shares of Common Stock to its sole member FRIT. Prior to December 21, 2004, 23,359,696 shares of Common Stock was held directly by FPA and 1,440,000 shares of Common Stock was held directly by FRIT PINN. On December 21, 2004, FPA made a liquidating distribution to its members. Following the distribution, FRIT PINN holds 19,162,248 shares of Common Stock directly, FRIT holds 5,000,004 shares of Common Stock directly and FPIF holds 5,137,444 shares of Common Stock directly. FPA obtained the funds to purchase a portion of the shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 below from a capital contribution made to its working capital by FRIT PINN and FPIF. FRIT PINN obtained the funds to purchase a portion of the shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 below from a capital contribution made to its working capital by FRIT. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. The FIH Reporting Persons, through FRIT PINN, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FRIT, and through FPA, a majority owned subsidiary of FRIT PINN, acquired the shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 below for investment purposes and for purposes of influencing the business and affairs of the Issuer prior to the initial public offering of the Issuer's Common Stock. The FPIF Reporting Persons, except FIH and FIG as described in the preceding sentence, made the investment, through FPA, representing its shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 below for investment purposes prior to the initial public offering of the Issuer's Common Stock. The Reporting Persons intend to continuously review their investment in the Issuer, and may in the future determine to (i) dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer owned by them from time to time in public or private transactions, (ii) acquire additional securities of the Issuer, through open market purchases, private agreements or otherwise, (iii) take any other available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in the following paragraph of this Item 4 or (iv) otherwise change their investment intent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to change their intentions at any time with respect to any or all of such matters, as it deems appropriate. In reaching any decision as to their course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), the Reporting Persons currently expect that they would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the Issuer's financial condition, business, operations and prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer and the wireless communications tower business generally, other business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, other developments with respect to the business of the Reporting Persons, general economic conditions and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of the Issuer, and other relevant factors. Other than as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or terms of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Issuer; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's articles of incorporation, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) a class of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement dated as of March 31, 2004 (the "Amended and Restated Investor Agreement") among the Issuer, Fortress Pinnacle Acquisition LLC, Greenhill Capital Partners, L.P., and its related partnerships named therein, and Abrams Capital Partners II, L.P. and certain of its related partnerships named therein, and other parties named therein (each, a "Stockholder"), the Issuer granted to the Stockholders, "demand" registration rights that allow the Stockholders to request that the Issuer register under the Securities Act of 1933 an amount equal to or greater than 5% of the Issuer's stock held by such Stockholders together with their respective affiliates. Each Stockholder is entitled to an aggregate of three demand registrations. The Issuer is not required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for more than 60 days. The Issuer is also not required to effect any demand registration within six months of a "firm commitment" underwritten offering to which the requestor held "piggyback" rights and which included at least 50% of the securities requested by the requestor to be included. The Issuer is not obligated to grant a request for a demand registration within six months of any other demand registration, and may refuse a request for demand registration if in the Issuer's reasonable judgment, it is not feasible for the Issuer to proceed with the registration because of the unavailability of audited financial statements. The Issuer granted the Stockholders "piggyback" registration rights that allow them to include the shares of common stock that they own in any public offering of equity securities initiated by the Issuer, other than those public offerings on registration statements on Forms S-4 or S-8. The "piggyback" registration rights of these Stockholders are subject to proportional cutbacks by the underwriters in the manner described in the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement. The Issuer granted FPA, Greenhill and their respective permitted transferees the right to request shelf registration on Form S-3, providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis, subject to a time limit on the Issuer's efforts to keep the shelf registration statement continuously effective and the Issuer's right to suspend the use of the shelf registration prospectus for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 60 days in succession or 90 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period) if the Issuer determines that certain disclosures required by the shelf registration statement would be detrimental to the Issuer or the Issuer's stockholders. In addition, each Stockholder may elect to participate in the shelf registration within ten days after notice of the registration is given. The Issuer has agreed to indemnify each selling stockholder against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of material fact in any registration statement or prospectus, unless such liability arose from the selling stockholder's misstatement or omission. The selling stockholder agrees to indemnify the Issuer against all losses caused by its misstatements or omissions. The Issuer will pay all expenses incident to its performance under the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement, and the selling stockholders will pay their respective portions of all underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer taxes relating to the sale of their shares under the agreement. A copy of the Option Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. In connection with the Issuer's initial public offering, on June 2, 2004, FRIT PINN was granted an option by the Issuer pursuant to a Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement dated June 8,2004 (the "Option Agreement") between the Issuer and FRIT PINN. The Option Agreement provides FRIT PINN or its affiliates the right to purchase 644,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares") at an exercise price of $18.00 per share (which is equal to the Issuer's initial public offering price per share). This option is immediately exercisable and vestable and will remain exercisable for a period of ten years. In December 2004, FRIT PINN distributed its option to purchase 644,000 shares of Common Stock to its sole member FRIT. A copy of the Option Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3 and is incorporated herein by reference. As part of the Issuer's board compensation package for independent directors of the Issuer's board of directors, Robert Gidel will be granted 5,000 shares of Common Stock on each of the first days following the annual meeting of stockholders in 2005 and the annual meeting of stockholders in 2006. FRIT PINN entered into a credit agreement, dated as of December 21, 2004, with Bank of America, N.A., Morgan Stanley Asset Funding Inc., the other lenders that may become parties thereto and Banc of America Securities LLC (the "Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, FRIT PINN borrowed $160.0 million from the lenders thereunder and this amount is secured by a pledge by FRIT PINN of a total of 19,162,248 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock owned by FRIT PINN. The term of the Credit Agreement is 18 months. The 19,162,248 shares of Common Stock represents approximately 37% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Common Stock as of December 21, 2004. The Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and default provisions, relating to FIH, FRIT PINN and the Issuer and also requires prepayment of a portion of the borrowings by FRIT PINN in the event the trading price of the Issuer's Common Stock decreases below $16.70 and prepayment or payment in full at prices below certain other lower specified levels. In the event of a default under the Credit Agreement by FRIT PINN, the lenders may foreclose upon and sell any and all shares of Common Stock pledged to them. FRIT PINN has agreed in the Credit Agreement to exercise its right to cause the Issuer to file a shelf registration statement pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement. The registration statement will cover sales by the lenders of shares of the pledged Common Stock in the event of a foreclosure by any of them and is required to be filed by June 6, 2005 pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
