ITEM 3.02   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
     The text related to the Earn-Out Shares (as defined below) contained in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On August 6, 2008, MasTec issued a press release regarding the Acquisition. A copy of that press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K. The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
ITEM 8.01   Other Events.
     On July 31, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MasTec”) through a subsidiary (the “Buyer”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July 31, 2008, with NSORO, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Seller” and such transaction, the “Acquisition”). As part of the Acquisition, Buyer has acquired substantially all of Seller’s project management services for wireless network operators in the United States to support the buildout and expansion of their wireless network infrastructure which is comprised of cell sites and central office switching facilities (the “Business”). At the time of the Acquisition, substantially all of the Business’ revenues come from AT&T.
     Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Acquisition consists of $17.5 million, which was paid in cash on the Closing Date (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement), assumption of $12 million in indebtedness related to a working capital line secured by receivables and earn-out payments payable over an eight-year period equal to 50% of the earnings before taxes of the Business above certain minimum thresholds for the Buyer and an equal second threshold for the Seller (the “Earn-Out”). The Earn-Out is payable at MasTec’s option in cash, MasTec common stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) or a combination thereof. MasTec has offered to potentially issue the Earn-Out Shares to the Seller in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Purchase Agreement only allows MasTec to issue the Earn-Out Shares, if at the time of issuance such shares are registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement.
     In connection with the Acquisition, Buyer has also entered into a transitional services agreement with Seller pursuant to which Seller will continue to provide all services necessary to operate the Business, consistent with past practice, until such time as Buyer determines. In consideration of these transitional services, Buyer will pay Seller its costs related to such services.
