On December 19, 2016, American Tower Corporation (the “Company”) issued a joint press release (the “Press Release”) with PGGM announcing their entry, through their previously announced joint venture, into a definitive agreement with Antin Infrastructure Partners and the individuals party thereto to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of FPS Towers (“FPS”), for total consideration of approximately 697 million Euros (approximately $726 million at the current exchange rate), subject to certain adjustments. FPS owns and operates approximately 2,400 wireless tower sites in France. A copy of the Press Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The Company expects to commence its business in France with this transaction, which it anticipates will close during the first quarter of 2017, subject to consultation with FPS’ employee representative body, certain closing conditions and regulatory approval.

Beginning on December 19, 2016, the Company intends to make available to investors presentation slides regarding the Company’s entrance into France. These presentation slides will be available on the Company’s website, www.americantower.com, under the Investor Relations tab.

Exhibit 99.1 is furnished herewith and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
