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

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.

         Except as set forth above, each Reporting Person has no present plans
or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions
described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) - (b) For the reasons set forth below, each of the FPIF Reporting
Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the 5,137,444 shares of Common Stock
(the "FPIF Shares") held directly by FPIF. FPIF directly owns 5,137,444 shares
of Common Stock. Gidel directly owns 20,000 shares of Common Stock. Each of
FIGA, FIG and FIH does not directly own any securities of the Issuer. However,
(i) Gidel as sole manager of FPIF has the ability to direct the management of
FPIF's business and affairs; (ii) FIGA has the ability to direct the management
of FPIF's business and affairs as the investment advisor of FPIF; (iii) FIG has
the ability to direct the management of FIGA's business and affairs as the
holder of all issued and outstanding shares of beneficial interest of FIGA; and
(iv) FIH has the ability to direct the management of FIG's business and affairs
as the sole member of FIG.

         For the reasons set forth below, each of the FIH Reporting Persons,
except FRIT PINN to the extent described below, may be deemed to beneficially
own the 20,306,252 shares of Common Stock (inclusive of 644,000 shares issuable
upon exercise of options beneficially owned by the reporting person which are
exercisable as of or within 60 days of December 21, 2004) (the "Fortress
Shares"; together with the FPIF shares, the "Reported Shares"). FRIT PINN
directly owns 19,162,248 shares of Common Stock and FRIT directly owns
1,144,004 shares of Common Stock (inclusive of 644,000 shares issuable upon
exercise of options beneficially owned by the reporting person which are
exercisable as of or within 60 days of December 21, 2004) (the "FRIT Shares").
Each of FIF, FFMM, FIG and FIH does not directly own any securities of the
Issuer. However, (i) FRIT has the ability to direct the management of FRIT
PINN's business and affairs as the sole member of FRIT PINN; (ii) FIF has the
ability to direct the management of FRIT's business and affairs as the holder
of all issued and outstanding shares of beneficial interest of FRIT; (iii) FFMM
has the ability to direct the management of FIF's business and affairs as the
managing member of FIF; (iv) FIG has the ability to direct the management of
FFMM's business and affairs as the managing member of FFMM, and (v) FIH has the
ability to direct the management of FIG's business and affairs as the sole
member of FIG. FRIT PINN may not be deemed to beneficially own the FRIT Shares.
With respect to such shares of Common Stock, (i) none of the Reporting Persons,
except Gidel with respect to the 20,000 shares of Common Stock he holds
directly, has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, or to dispose or to
direct the disposition, of the Reported Shares; and (ii) each of the FIH
Reporting Persons, except FRIT PINN with respect to the FRIT Shares, has the
shared power to vote or to direct the vote, or to dispose or to direct the
disposition of the Fortress Shares and each of the FPIF Reporting Persons has
the shared power to vote or direct the vote, or to dispose or to direct the
disposition, of the FPIF Shares. As a result of acquisition of the Reported
Shares and the distribution by FPA, FRIT PINN controls 37.4% of the outstanding
voting capital stock of the Issuer; Gidel, FPIF and FIGA collectively control
10.0% of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Issuer and Gidel
individually controls less than an additional 1.0% of the outstanding voting
capital stock of the Issuer; FRIT, FIF and FFMM collectively control 39.2% of
the outstanding voting capital stock of the Issuer; and FIG and FIH
collectively control 49.1% of the outstanding voting capital stock of the
Issuer. The purchase price for all such shares acquired by FRIT, FRIT PINN and
FPIF is approximately $126,575,000. None of the Covered Persons directly owns
any securities of the Issuer, except Robert Gidel as set forth herein and
Wesley R. Edens who directly owns 50,100 shares. However, by reason of their
status as a manager or executive officer, or member of a Reporting Person, a
Covered Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common
Stock owned directly or otherwise beneficially by such Reporting Person. The
Reporting Persons have been advised that each of the Covered Persons disclaims
beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock from time to time owned
directly or otherwise beneficially by such Reporting Persons.

         (c) With respect to transactions in shares of Common Stock that were
effected within the past 60 days, please see Item 3 and Item 4 above.

         (d) Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, distributions paid to FRIT PINN
by the Issuer, including dividends, must be deposited into a collateral
account. The lenders under the Credit Agreement have a lien on this account and
FRIT PINN is required to maintain at least $4 million in the account to be used
to pay interest on the loan. However, if the loan to value percentage of the
pledged Common Stock exceeds the required threshold, FRIT PINN may withdraw
amounts above such $4 million threshold.

         (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.

         See Item 4 above. Except as provided in the Amended and Restated
Investor Agreement, the Option Agreement, the Credit Agreement or as set forth
herein, neither any of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of such Reporting
Persons' knowledge, any of the Covered Persons has any contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), with any person with
respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to,
transfer or voting of any securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or
option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits
or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
