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.
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 Sellers 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
MasTecs 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.
