The item numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on January 3, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on February 16, 2005, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on May 11, 2005 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"), by FRIT PINN LLC ("FRIT PINN"), Fortress Registered Investment Trust ("FRIT"), Fortress Pinnacle Investment Fund LLC ("FPIF"), FIG Advisors LLC ("FIGA"), Robert H. Gidel ("Gidel"), Fortress Investment Fund LLC ("FIF"), Fortress Fund MM LLC ("FFMM"), Fortress Investment Group LLC ("FIG"), and Fortress Investment Holdings LLC ("FIH") with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Global Signal Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Item 2. Identity and Background (a), (b), (c) and (f). This statement is being filed jointly by FRIT PINN, FRIT, FPIF, FIGA, Gidel, FIF, FFMM, FIT GSL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("FIT GSL"), Fortress Investment Trust II, a Delaware business trust ("FIT II"), Fortress Investment Fund II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("FIF II"), Fortress Fund MM II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("FFMM II"), FIG, and FIH (FIH, together with FIT GSL, FIT II, FIF II, FFMM II, and FIG, the "FIF II Reporting Persons"; and the FIF II Reporting Persons, together with FRIT PINN, FRIT, FPIF, FIGA, Gidel, FIF, and FFMM, collectively, the "Reporting Persons"; individually, a "Reporting Person"). The business address of each of the FIF II Reporting Persons is 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020. The principal business of each FIF II Reporting Person is real estate-related investments. Set forth in Annex A attached hereto is a listing of the directors and executive officers of FIT GSL, FIF II and FFMM II, and the trustees and executive officers of FIT II (collectively, the "FIF II Covered Persons"), and the business address and present principal occupation or employment of each of the FIF II Covered Persons, and is incorporated herein by reference. Each of the FIF II Covered Persons is a United States citizen. (d) and (e). None of the FIF II Reporting Persons, or, to the best of their knowledge, the FIF II Covered Persons has, during the past five years, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which any of them is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding a violation in respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration The total amount of funds required to purchase the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the FIF II Reporting Persons, as described in Item 5 below, was approximately $120,000,016. FIT GSL obtained the funds to purchase the shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 below from a capital contribution made by FIT II, which obtained the funds for such capital contribution from its general assets. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction The FIF II Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 below in connection with the closing of (i) the agreement entered into by the Issuer on February 14, 2005 to lease or operate approximately 6,628 wireless communication towers and certain related assets from Sprint Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Sprint Transaction") and (ii) the Investment Agreement entered into in connection with the Sprint Transaction between the Issuer and (a) FIF II, (b) Abrams Capital Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Abrams Capital Partners I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Whitecrest Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Abrams Capital International, LTD, a Cayman Island limited liability company and Riva Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, "Abrams"), and (c) Greenhill Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Greenhill Capital Partners (Executive), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Greenhill Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Greenhill Capital Partners (Cayman), L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership, Greenhill Capital Partners (Employees) II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, "Greenhill" and together with FIF II and Abrams, collectively, the "Investors"). The Investment Agreement provided that if the Issuer had not completed an offering of its equity securities prior to the closing of the Sprint Transaction, the Investors would issue to the Issuer, at the closing of the Investment Agreement, a one-time option to purchase from the Investors such number of shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the difference between the total consideration paid by the Investors for the Common Stock at the closing of the Sprint Transaction and $250 million, at a price per share of $26.50. Because the Issuer completed an offering of its equity securities prior to such date, the Issuer is not entitled to this option and no option has been or will be issued by the Investors in connection with the Investment Agreement. Each of the Sprint Transaction and the Investment Agreement are more fully described in Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on February 16, 2005. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a) and (b) For the reasons set forth below, each FIF II Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,705,883 shares held directly by FIT GSL (the "Reported Shares").
