ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
ITEM 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
ITEM 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     On December 16, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MasTec”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MasTec North America, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Buyer”), consummated its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Shares”) of Wanzek Construction, Inc., a North Dakota corporation (“Wanzek”), pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2008 (the “Original Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Buyer, MasTec, Wanzek and the shareholders of Wanzek (the “Sellers”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”), dated as of December 2, 2008, and that certain Second Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2008 (the “Second Amendment”, and, together with the Original Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment, the “Purchase Agreement”).

     On the Closing Date, the Buyer paid to the Sellers the purchase price for the Shares, composed of: (i) $50 million in cash; (ii) 7.5 million newly-issued shares (the “Consideration Shares”) of MasTec common stock (“Common Stock”); (iii) 8% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $55 million, due December 2013 with interest payments payable in April, August, and December of each year, commencing in April 2009 (the “Convertible Notes”); (iv) the assumption of approximately $15 million of Wanzek’s debt; and (v) a two-year earn-out equal to 50% of Wanzek’s EBITDA in excess of $40 million per year.

     The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock (any such shares, “Conversion Shares”), at the holder’s election, at a conversion price of $12 per share; provided, however, that in no event may the holder convert all or any portion of the Convertible Note if, subsequent to such conversion, the holder, including its affiliates, would beneficially own 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. After one year, and subject to the holder’s conversion right and the consent of the Agent and Required Lenders under, and as defined in, MasTec’s credit facility, MasTec may redeem the Convertible Notes by payment of the principal balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock during any thirty day period is equal to or greater than $16. The Convertible Notes contain customary events of default, which, if uncured or not subject to cure, allow the holder to declare immediately due and payable the entirety of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest.

     Additionally, MasTec has entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Sellers in respect of the Consideration Shares and the Conversion Shares. If, after the date that is six months from the Closing Date, MasTec proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with a primary underwritten public offering of its securities solely for cash, then the Sellers may elect to require MasTec to include in such offering, subject to certain restrictions, the Consideration Shares and Conversion Shares.

     In connection with the Acquisition, MasTec entered into a letter amendment (the “Letter Amendment”) to its credit facility, which modifies the applicable margin interest rate and facility fee range. As modified, interest accrues at variable rates based, at MasTec’s option, on the agent bank’s base rate (as defined in the credit facility) plus a margin of between 1.25% and 1.75%, or at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 2.00% and 3.00%, depending on certain financial thresholds. Under the Letter Amendment, the unused facility fee ranges from 0.375% to 0.500% based on usage.

     The foregoing description of the Original Purchase Agreement, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Purchase Agreement, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, of which the Original Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment have been previously filed with the SEC on October 6, 2008 as Exhibit 10.1 to MasTec’s Current Report on Form 8-K and on December 3, 2008 as Exhibit 10.1 to MasTec’s Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and the Second Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, and each of which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Convertible Notes and the Letter Amendment is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Letter Amendment and the form of Convertible Note, which are filed as Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

     On the Closing Date, the Consideration Shares and the Convertible Notes, including the Conversion Shares (each of the foregoing, together, the “Securities”), were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Securities have not been registered under the Act and are “restricted securities” as that term is defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

     The description of the Convertible Notes contained in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated in this Item 3.02 by reference and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Convertible Notes, a form of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
