Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 30, 2019, American Tower Corporation (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, ATC Heston B.V. (the “Purchaser”), entered into an agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) to acquire from the several holders listed therein (the “Sellers”) 100% of the outstanding shares of Eaton Towers Holding Limited (“Eaton Towers”), which owns and operates approximately 5,500 existing communications sites in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Ghana, Niger and Uganda, for total consideration, including the Company's assumption of Eaton Towers’ existing debt, of approximately $1.85 billion at current exchange rates, subject to certain adjustments (the “Transaction”). American Tower International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will guarantee certain obligations of the Purchaser under the Share Purchase Agreement.

The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. Consummation of the Transaction is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory approvals. The Transaction is expected to close by the end of 2019. The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary termination provisions and, in addition, may be terminated by the Sellers or the Purchaser if specified closing conditions have not been fulfilled by December 31, 2019 (or a later date upon extension by the Sellers in their sole discretion, which date shall be no later than June 30, 2020), unless the terminating party has failed to perform its obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement at the time of such termination.

The foregoing description of the Share Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 30, 2019, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the Transaction described in Item 1.01. A copy of the Press Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Beginning on May 30, 2019, the Company intends to make available to investors presentation slides regarding the Transaction. On that date, these presentation slides will be available on the Company’s website, www.americantower.com, under the “Investor Presentations” section of the Investor Relations page.

Exhibit 99.1 is furnished 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.
