notes, the affected investors would be exposed to variations in the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate until a New York state court judgment is entered, and we cannot predict how long this would take. A U.S. federal court sitting in New York with

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately &#128; &#8195;&#8195;&#8195;million, after deducting discounts and
commissions payable to the underwriters and estimated expenses of this offering payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay existing indebtedness under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility and for general corporate
purposes. Pending use, the net proceeds may be invested temporarily in short-term marketable securities. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and the purposes for which the net proceeds are used may
change from those described above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility matures on January&nbsp;28, 2028, includes two optional renewal
periods and currently bears interest at a rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (as such term is defined in the applicable loan agreement) plus 1.000% for USD denominated borrowings and 1.000% above the Euro Interbank Offer Rate for euro denominated
borrowings. Borrowings under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility were primarily used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain of the underwriters of this offering or their affiliates are agents, lenders and arrangers under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit
Facility and therefore may receive some of the proceeds from the notes offered hereby. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All payments of interest, premium, if any, principal, including payments made upon any redemption of the notes, and additional amounts, if
any, will be made in euros. If the euro is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that
have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again
available to us or so used. The amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the euro. Any payments in respect of the notes so made in U.S. dollars will
not constitute an event of default under the terms of the notes or the indenture. See &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Issuance in Euros; Payment on the Notes.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investors will be subject to foreign exchange risk as to payments of principal, premium, if any, interest and additional amounts, if any, which
may have important economic and tax consequences to them. See &#147;Risk Factors.&#148; You should consult your own financial and legal advisors about the risks involved in an investment in the notes. </P>

the accompanying prospectus is a part, as set forth below under &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; We use certain defined terms in this description that are not defined below under &#147;&#151;Certain Definitions&#148; or elsewhere in

separate CUSIP or ISIN number unless the additional notes are issued pursuant to a &#147;qualified reopening&#148; of the original series, are otherwise treated as part of the same &#147;issue&#148; of debt instruments as the original series or are

that we believe to be reliable. We take no responsibility for an accurate portrayal of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing systems in this section reflects our understanding of the rules and procedures of Clearstream and

represented by one or more fully registered global notes. Each such global note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary, for, and in respect of interests held
through, Clearstream and Euroclear. Except as set forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Clearstream or Euroclear or their respective nominees. You may hold your interests in the global notes in Europe
through Clearstream or Euroclear, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective
participating organizations or customers through customers&#146; securities accounts in Clearstream&#146;s or Euroclear&#146;s names on the books of their respective depositaries. Book-entry interests in the notes and all transfers relating to the

payments relating to their notes in euro, except as described under the heading &#147;&#151;Issuance in Euros; Payment on the Notes.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Clearstream and Euroclear have established electronic securities and payment transfer, processing, depositary and custodial links among
themselves and others, either directly or through custodians and depositaries. These links allow the notes to be issued, held and transferred among the clearing systems without the physical transfer of certificates. Special procedures to facilitate
clearance and settlement have been established among these clearing systems to trade securities across borders in the secondary market. </P>

activities of the partnership. Any entity (or other arrangement) treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes that holds our notes and the partners in such a partnership (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) are urged to

principal on the notes or redeem the notes prior to their stated maturity. See &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Optional Redemption,&#148; &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event,&#148;
&#147;Description of Notes&#151;Payment of Additional Amounts&#148; and &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Redemption for Tax Reasons.&#148; Notwithstanding the possibility of such payments, under applicable Treasury regulations, payments on a note
that are subject to either a remote or incidental contingency may be ignored. For this reason, we intend to take the position that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable Treasury regulations. Our
determination that the notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;). Our determination that the notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is binding on you unless you
disclose your contrary position to the IRS in the manner prescribed by applicable Treasury regulations. If the IRS were to challenge successfully this determination and the notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, you might be
required, among other things, to accrue interest income (regardless of your method of accounting for federal income tax purposes) at a rate higher than the stated interest rate on the notes, and treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain,
any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or redemption of a note. Prospective purchasers of notes are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments. The remainder
of this discussion assumes that the notes are not treated as contingent payment debt instruments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Payments of Interest.</I> Payments or accruals of interest on a note will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time that
such amounts are actually or constructively received or accrued (in accordance with the U.S. Holder&#146;s method of tax accounting). It is expected, and this discussion assumes, that the notes will be issued without original issue discount
(&#147;OID&#148;) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, however, if the notes are issued with OID at or above a de minimis threshold, a U.S. Holder will be required to include OID in gross income, as ordinary income, as it accrues under
a &#147;constant-yield method&#148; before the receipt of cash attributable to such income, regardless of the U.S. Holder&#146;s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of interest income realized by a U.S.
Holder that uses the cash method of tax accounting will be the U.S. dollar value of the euro payment based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt regardless of whether the payment in fact is converted into U.S. dollars. A U.S. Holder
that uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes will accrue interest income on the note in euros and translate the amount accrued into U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate in effect during the interest accrual period (or
portion thereof within the U.S. Holder&#146;s taxable year), or, at the accrual basis U.S Holder&#146;s election, at the spot </P>

of exchange on the date of receipt, if such date is within five business days of the last day of the accrual period. A U.S. Holder that makes such election must apply it consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and cannot change the
election without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes will recognize foreign currency gain or loss, as the case may be, on the receipt of an interest payment made with respect to a note if
the exchange rate in effect on the date the payment is received differs from the rate applicable to a previous accrual of that interest income. This foreign currency gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss but generally will not be

Holder&#146;s tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of the note to such U.S. Holder. The cost of the note to a U.S. Holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency purchase price on the date of purchase. A cash basis U.S.
Holder (and, if it so elects, an accrual basis U.S. Holder) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the cost of the note by translating the amount paid at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the purchase. The conversion of U.S.
dollars to euros and the immediate use of those euros to purchase a note generally will not result in taxable gain or loss for a U.S.&nbsp;Holder. A U.S. Holder may recognize foreign currency gain or loss if it purchases a note with previously owned
euros. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When a U.S. Holder sells or exchanges a note, or if a note held by a U.S. Holder is retired or redeemed, such U.S. Holder
generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the transaction (excluding any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be subject to tax in the manner described above under
&#147;&#151;Payments of Interest&#148;) and the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in the note. The amount realized upon the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a note will be the U.S. dollar value of the euros received calculated at the exchange
rate in effect on the date the note is sold, exchanged, redeemed or retired, and a U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in any such euros received will equal the U.S. dollar value of the euros, determined at the time of sale, exchange, redemption or
retirement. A cash basis U.S. Holder, and if it so elects, an accrual basis U.S. Holder, will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating the amount realized at the spot rate on the settlement date of the sale. If an
accrual basis U.S. Holder does not make such an election, it will recognize exchange gain or loss to the extent of currency exchange fluctuations during the period between the date of the disposition and the settlement date of the sale. The election
available to accrual basis U.S. Holders in respect of the purchase and sale of notes traded on an established securities market, discussed above, must be applied consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and cannot be changed without
the consent of the IRS. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as described below with respect to foreign currency gain or loss, the gain or loss that a U.S. Holder
recognizes on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a note generally will be capital gain or loss. The capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a note will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder
has held the note for more than one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by a noncorporate U.S. Holder, including an individual, generally are subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gains or ordinary
income. The ability of U.S. Holders to offset capital losses against ordinary income is limited. If exchange rates fluctuate, U.S. Holders may recognize foreign currency gain or loss, if any, measured by the difference between (i)&nbsp;the U.S.
dollar value of the purchase price in euros of the note, determined using the spot rate on the settlement date or trade date, as described above, of the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of the note, and (ii)&nbsp;the U.S. dollar value of the
purchase price in euros of the note, determined using the spot rate on the date the U.S. Holder acquired the note. This foreign currency gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a note generally
will be treated as ordinary income or loss to the extent that the gain or loss is attributable to changes in exchange rates during the period in which the holder held such note. The amount of foreign currency gain or loss upon a sale, exchange,
redemption or retirement of a note (including with respect to accrued and unpaid interest) will be realized only to the extent of the total gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the note. This foreign currency
gain or loss will not be treated as an adjustment to interest income received on the notes. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="suprom926217_11"></A>CERTAIN EUROPEAN UNION TAX CONSIDERATIONS </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Proposed Financial Transaction Tax </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2013, the European Commission published the Commission&#146;s Proposal for a Directive for the Financial Transaction Tax, or the FTT, in
Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Estonia. However, Estonia has since stated that it will not participate. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Commission&#146;s Proposal has very broad scope and could, if introduced, apply to certain dealings in the notes in certain circumstances.
The mechanism by which the tax contemplated in the Commission&#146;s Proposal would be applied and collected is not yet certain, but if it or any similar tax is adopted, transactions in the notes could be subject to higher costs, and the liquidity
of the market for the notes may be diminished. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Commission&#146;s Proposal, the FTT could apply in certain circumstances to
persons both within and outside of the participating Member States of the European Union. Generally, it would apply to certain dealings in the notes where at least one party is a financial institution, and at least one party is established in a
participating Member State. A financial institution may be, or be deemed to be, &#147;established&#148; in a participating Member State in a broad range of circumstances, including (a)&nbsp;by transacting with a person established in a participating
Member State or (b)&nbsp;where the financial instrument which is subject to the dealings is issued in a participating Member State. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following a lack of consensus in the negotiations on the Commission&#146;s Proposal, the participating Member States and the scope of the FTT
remain uncertain. Based on public statements released in 2019, the participating Member States have agreed to continue negotiations on the basis of a proposal that would reduce the scope of the FTT and would only concern listed shares of European
companies with a market capitalization exceeding 1&nbsp;billion euros on 1&nbsp;December of the year preceding the taxation year. According to this revised proposal, the applicable tax rate would not be less than 0.2%. Such proposal remains subject
to change until a final approval is given and it may therefore be altered prior to any implementation, the timing of which remains unclear. Additional Member States may decide to participate, and/or certain of the remaining participating Member
States may decide to withdraw. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the &#147;<I>Commission Staff Working Document&#151;Accompanying the document Amended Proposal for a
Council Decision amending Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 on the system of own resources of the European Union</I>&#148; (n. SWD/2023/331 final) dated June&nbsp;20, 2023, addressing the Commission&#146;s Proposal, the EU Commission expressed the
view that &#147;There is little expectation that any proposal would be agreed in the short term.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prospective holders of the notes
are advised to seek their own professional advice in relation to the FTT. </P>

prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a selling concession from the initial public offering price not in excess of &#8195;&#8195;% of the principal amount of the notes. Any such securities
dealers may resell any notes purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial public offering price not in excess of &#8195;&#8195;% of the principal amount of the notes. If all the notes are not

15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to the trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than one business
day prior to their date of delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+6, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their
own advisors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection

its behalf) may over allot notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the notes during the stabilization period at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization action may not
necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than 30 days
after the date on which we received the proceeds of the issue, or no later than 60&nbsp;days after the date of allotment of the relevant notes whichever is the earlier. Any stabilization action or over allotment must be conducted by the Stabilizing
Manager (or persons acting on its behalf) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules and will be undertaken at the offices of the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on its behalf) and on the New York Stock Exchange. </P>

price of the notes to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The Stabilizing Manager may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the Stabilizing

their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship
with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these
underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered
hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent

related individuals or entities to be treated as owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% in value of our aggregate outstanding stock or less than 9.8% in value or number of our outstanding shares of any
class or series of stock (including through the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, any class or series of our stock) by an individual or entity could nevertheless cause that individual or entity, or
another individual or entity, to own, constructively or beneficially, in excess of 9.8% in value of our aggregate outstanding stock or 9.8% in value or number of our outstanding shares of any class or series of stock. </P>

accounts showing the securities holdings of its participants, and these participants will in turn maintain accounts showing the securities holdings of their customers. Some of these customers may themselves be securities intermediaries holding
securities for their customers. Thus, each beneficial owner of a book-entry security will hold that security indirectly through a hierarchy of intermediaries, with DTC at the &#147;top&#148; and the beneficial owner&#146;s own securities

considered the owner. In most cases, a beneficial owner will also not be able to obtain a paper certificate evidencing the holder&#146;s ownership of securities. The book-entry system for holding securities eliminates the need for physical movement
of certificates. The laws of some jurisdictions require some purchasers of securities to take physical delivery of their securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer book-entry securities. </P>

of shares of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares at a future date or dates. Alternatively, the purchase contracts may obligate us to purchase from holders, and obligate holders to sell to us, a specified or varying number of shares of
common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares. The consideration per share of common stock or preferred stock or per depositary share may be fixed at the time the purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by a specific reference to a
formula set forth in the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may provide for settlement by delivery by us or on our behalf of shares of the underlying security, or they may provide for settlement by reference or linkage to the value,
performance or trading price of the underlying security. The purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of purchase units consisting of a purchase contract and debt securities, preferred stock or debt obligations of third parties,
including U.S.&nbsp;treasury securities, other purchase contracts or common stock, or other securities or property, securing the holders&#146; obligations to purchase or sell, as the case may be, the common stock, preferred stock, depository shares
or other security or property under the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders thereof or vice versa, and these payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis and may be paid on a
current or on a deferred basis. The purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations thereunder in a specified manner and may provide for the prepayment of all or part of the consideration payable by holders in connection with the
purchase of the underlying security or other property pursuant to the purchase contracts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The securities related to the purchase

of holders of purchase contracts to the related pledged securities will be subject to our security interest therein created by the pledge agreement. No holder of purchase contracts will be permitted to withdraw the pledged securities related to such
purchase contracts from the pledge arrangement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="toc926217_14"></A>DESCRIPTION OF UNITS </B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this prospectus and in any applicable prospectus supplement, when we refer to the &#147;holders&#148; of securities as being entitled to
specified rights or payments, we mean only the actual legal holders of the securities. While you will be the holder if you hold a security registered in your name, more often than not the holder actually will be a broker, bank or other financial
institution or, in the case of a global security, the depositary. Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the trustee, any transfer agent, any registrar and any third parties employed by us, the trustee, any transfer agent and any registrar,
run only to persons who are registered as holders of our securities, except as may be specifically provided for in the contract governing the securities. For example, once we make payment to the registered holder, we have no further responsibility
for the payment even if that holder is legally required to pass the payment along to you as a street name customer but does not do so. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holding securities in accounts at banks, brokers or other financial institutions is called holding in &#147;street name.&#148; If you hold our
securities in street name, we will recognize only the bank or broker, or the financial institution the bank or broker uses to hold the securities, as a holder. These intermediary banks, brokers, other financial institutions and depositaries pass
along principal, interest, dividends and other payments, if any, on the securities, either because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they legally are required to do so. This means that if you are an indirect holder, you
will need to coordinate with the institution through which you hold your interest in a security in order to determine how the provisions involving holders described in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement actually will apply to
you. For example, if the debt security in which you hold a beneficial interest in street name can be repaid at the option of the holder, you cannot redeem it yourself by following the procedures described in the prospectus supplement that applies to
that security. Instead, you would need to cause the institution through which you hold your interest to take those actions on your behalf. Your institution may have procedures and deadlines different from or additional to those described in the
applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you hold our securities in street name or through other indirect means, you should check with the
institution through which you hold your interest in a security to find out: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

including with respect to matters similar to, but subsequent or unrelated to, those matters addressed in the IRS private letter rulings issued to us; furthermore, while private letter rulings from the IRS generally are binding on the IRS, we and our
tax counsel cannot rely on the private letter rulings if applicable law has changed or if the factual representations, assumptions or undertakings made in our letter ruling requests to the IRS are untrue or incomplete in any material respect. If
successful, IRS challenges could result in significant tax liabilities for applicable parties. In addition, this summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax consequences related to our qualification and taxation as a REIT, and does not discuss any
estate, gift, state, local or foreign tax consequences. For all these reasons, we urge any holder of or prospective acquiror of our securities to consult their own tax advisor about the federal income tax and other tax consequences of our
qualification and taxation as a REIT. Our intentions and beliefs described in this summary are based upon our understanding of applicable laws and regulations that are in effect as of the date of this prospectus. If new laws or regulations are

qualification and taxation as a REIT will depend upon our compliance with various qualification tests imposed under the Code and summarized below. Our ability to satisfy the REIT asset tests will depend in part upon our board of directors&#146; good
faith analysis of the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination. Our compliance with the REIT income and quarterly asset requirements also depends upon our ability to successfully manage the
composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. In particular, we periodically explore and occasionally consummate merger and acquisition opportunities, and any consummated transaction would have to be structured to manage successfully the
REIT income, asset and distribution tests given the particular size, timing and type of transaction. While we believe that we have satisfied and will satisfy these tests, our tax counsel does not review compliance with these tests on a continuing
basis. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year or terminate or revoke our REIT election, then we will be subject to federal income taxation as if we were a corporation taxed under subchapter C of the Code (a &#147;C
corporation&#148;), and our stockholders will be taxed like stockholders of regular C corporations, meaning that federal income tax generally will be applied at both the corporate and stockholder levels. In this event, we could be subject to
significant tax liabilities, and the amount of cash available for payment or distribution to our securityholders could be reduced or eliminated. </P>

our stockholders generally are included in our stockholders&#146; income as dividends to the extent of our available current or accumulated earnings and profits. Our current or accumulated earnings and profits generally are allocated first to
distributions made on our outstanding preferred stock, if any, and thereafter to distributions made on our common stock. For all these purposes, our distributions include cash distributions, any in kind distributions of property that we might make,

regarding income and assets described below, the REIT is generally deemed to own its proportionate share, based on respective capital interests, of the income and assets of the partnership (except that for purposes of the 10% value test, described
below, the REIT&#146;s proportionate share of the partnership&#146;s assets is based on its proportionate interest in the equity and specified debt securities issued by the partnership). In addition, for these purposes, the character of the assets

as REITs. Our subsidiary REITs generally have been and will be subject to the various REIT qualification requirements and other limitations described in this summary or that are otherwise applicable. If one of our subsidiary REITs were to fail to
qualify for taxation as a REIT, then (a)&nbsp;the subsidiary REIT would become subject to U.S. corporate income tax as a regular C corporation, as described above, and (b)&nbsp;our ownership of shares in the subsidiary REIT would cease to be a
qualifying real estate asset for purposes of the tests described under &#147;&#151;Asset Tests&#148; below. Thus, if a subsidiary REIT were to fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT, it could jeopardize our own ability to satisfy our REIT
qualification requirements. We do not expect that the foregoing REIT asset tests would be violated if the subsidiary were treated as a TRS pursuant to a valid TRS election. Accordingly, we have made and expect to make protective TRS elections with
respect to our subsidiary REITs and may implement other protective arrangements intended to avoid a cascading REIT failure if any of our intended subsidiary REITs were not to qualify for taxation as a REIT, but there can be no assurance that such
protective elections or other arrangements will be effective to avoid or mitigate the resulting adverse consequences to us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Taxable

other securities of our TRSs. Very generally, a TRS is a subsidiary corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a TRS. A TRS is taxed as a
regular C corporation, separate and apart from any affiliated REIT. We have made significant loans to our TRSs secured by towers, tower sites, or other interests in real property and have received a private letter ruling from the IRS that such loans
will not be treated as a security for purposes of this TRS ownership limitation. Our ownership of stock and other securities in our TRSs is exempt from the 5% asset test, the 10% vote test and the 10% value test described below. </P>

continue to comply with, the requirements for TRS status at all times during which the subsidiary&#146;s TRS election is intended to be in effect, and we believe that the same will be true for any TRS that we later form or acquire. </P>

if received or accrued within one year of our receipt of the new capital, is generally also qualifying income under the 75% gross income test. Second, at least 95% of our gross income for each taxable year must consist of income that is qualifying
income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, other types of interest and dividends, gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities, amounts described under Section&nbsp;856(c)(5)(J)(ii) of the Code as producing income described in

as to whether the IRS might successfully assert that one or more of our dispositions is subject to the 100% penalty tax. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that

(b)&nbsp;engage in the business of developing, owning, leasing and managing our existing towers and other properties and acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing new towers and properties; and (c)&nbsp;make occasional dispositions of our

(b)&nbsp;after we identify the failure, we file a schedule describing each item of our gross income included in the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test for that taxable year. Even if this relief provision does apply, a 100% tax is
imposed upon the greater of the amount by which we failed the 75% gross income test or the amount by which we failed the 95% gross income test, with adjustments, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect our profitability for the taxable year.
This relief provision may apply to a failure of the applicable income tests even if the failure first occurred in a year prior to the taxable year in which the failure was discovered. </P>

foreign currency exchange rate used to value any foreign assets. This grandfathering rule may be of limited benefit to a REIT such as us that makes periodic acquisitions of both qualifying and nonqualifying REIT assets. When a failure to satisfy the

$10,000,000. If our failure is not de minimis, or if any of the other REIT asset tests have been violated, we may nevertheless qualify for taxation as a REIT if (a)&nbsp;we provide the IRS with a description of each asset causing the failure,

HOLDERS OF OUR STOCK </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations is based on existing law, and is limited to
matters relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our stock. The opinion of our tax counsel, Sullivan&nbsp;&amp; Worcester LLP, attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1 addresses these considerations, as set forth in this summary. Our tax
counsel&#146;s opinions are conditioned (a)&nbsp;upon the assumption that our Certificate of Incorporation, communications site licenses, and all other applicable legal documents to which we have been or are a party have been and will be complied
with by all parties to those documents, (b)&nbsp;upon the accuracy and completeness of the factual matters described in this prospectus, (c)&nbsp;upon private letter rulings issued to us by the IRS as to certain federal income tax matters,
(d)&nbsp;upon representations made by us to the IRS in connection with those rulings and (e)&nbsp;upon other representations made by us to our tax counsel as to certain factual matters relating to our organization and operations and our expected
manner of operation. If this assumption or a description or representation is inaccurate or incomplete, our tax counsel&#146;s opinions may be adversely affected and may not be relied upon. The opinions of our tax counsel are based upon the law as
it exists today, but the law may change in the future, possibly with retroactive effect. Given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs and their stockholders, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, and the possibility of
future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given by Sullivan&nbsp;&amp; Worcester LLP or us regarding the continuing accuracy of the matters in this summary. Any opinion of Sullivan&nbsp;&amp; Worcester LLP will be expressed as of the
date issued. Our tax counsel will have no obligation to advise us or our stockholders of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed, or of any subsequent change in the applicable law. Also, the opinions of our tax counsel
are not binding on either the IRS or a court, and either could take a position different from that expressed by our tax counsel. A discussion of the specific U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to persons considering the
purchase of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, purchase contracts, units or depositary shares will be included in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to such securities&#146; issuance. </P>

This section contains a summary of applicable Code provisions, related rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Future legislative, judicial or
administrative actions or decisions could also affect the accuracy of statements made in this summary. In addition, this summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax consequences, and does not discuss any estate, gift, state, local or foreign tax
consequences or the Medicare tax on net investment income. For all these reasons, we urge any holder of or prospective acquiror of our stock to consult their own tax advisor about the federal income tax and other tax consequences of the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of our stock. Our intentions and beliefs described in this summary are based upon our understanding of applicable laws and regulations that are in effect as of the date of this prospectus. If new laws or regulations are
enacted which impact us directly or indirectly, we may change our intentions or beliefs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The summary is based on existing law, and is

dividend to the extent of our available current or accumulated earnings and profits, unless the redemption satisfies one of the tests set forth in Section&nbsp;302(b) of the Code enabling the redemption to be treated as a sale or exchange of the
shares of our stock. The redemption for cash only will be treated as a sale or exchange if it (a)&nbsp;is &#147;substantially disproportionate&#148; with respect to the surrendering stockholder&#146;s ownership in us, (b)&nbsp;results in a
&#147;complete termination&#148; of the surrendering stockholder&#146;s entire share interest in us, or (c)&nbsp;is &#147;not essentially equivalent to a dividend&#148; with respect to the surrendering stockholder, all within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;302(b) of the Code. In determining whether any of these tests have been met, a stockholder must generally take into account shares of our stock considered to be owned by such stockholder by reason of constructive ownership rules set
forth in the Code, as well as shares of our stock actually owned by such stockholder. In addition, if a redemption is treated as a distribution under the preceding tests, then a stockholder&#146;s tax basis in the redeemed shares of our stock
generally will be transferred to the stockholder&#146;s remaining shares of our stock, if any, and if such stockholder owns no other shares of our stock, such basis generally may be transferred to a related person or may be lost entirely. Because
the determination as to whether a stockholder will satisfy any of the tests of Section&nbsp;302(b) of the Code depends upon the facts and circumstances at the time that shares of our stock are redeemed, we urge you to consult your own tax advisor to
determine your particular tax treatment of any redemption. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Taxation of Taxable U.S. Stockholders </B></P>

capital gains and most corporate dividends is generally 20%. However, because we are not generally subject to federal income tax on the portion of our &#147;real estate investment trust taxable income&#148; distributed to our stockholders, dividends
on our stock generally are not eligible for these preferential tax rates, except that any distribution of C corporation earnings and profits, taxed <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">built-in</FONT> gain items and recognized dividend income in respect

adjusted basis in our stock that is sold or exchanged. This gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder&#146;s holding period in the stock exceeds one year. In addition, any loss upon
a sale or exchange of our stock held for six months or less will generally be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain dividends we paid on such stock during the holding period. </P>

federal tax and withholding rates, branch profits taxes and increased reporting and filing requirements that apply to income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. This expectation and a number of the determinations below are
predicated on our stock (including our common stock) being listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, such as the NYSE. Each class of our stock has been listed on a U.S. national securities exchange; however, we can provide no assurance that our

capital gain dividend will be treated as an ordinary income dividend to the extent that it is made out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. A distribution of this type will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax and
withholding at the rate of 30%, or at a lower rate if the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> stockholder has in the manner prescribed by the IRS demonstrated to the applicable withholding agent its entitlement to benefits under a tax
treaty. Because we cannot determine our current and accumulated earnings and profits until the end of the taxable year, withholding at the statutory rate of 30% or applicable lower treaty rate will generally be imposed on the gross amount of any
distribution to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> stockholder that we make and do not designate as a capital gain dividend. Notwithstanding this potential withholding on distributions in excess of our current and accumulated
earnings and profits, these excess portions of distributions are a nontaxable return of capital to the extent that they do not exceed the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> stockholder&#146;s adjusted basis in our stock, and the
nontaxable return of capital will reduce the adjusted basis in such stock. To the extent that distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> stockholder&#146;s
adjusted basis in our stock, the distributions will give rise to federal income tax liability only in the unlikely event that the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> stockholder would otherwise be subject to tax on any gain from the

reporting requirements for purposes of identifying accounts and investments held directly or indirectly by U.S. persons. The failure to comply with these additional information reporting, certification and other requirements could result in a 30%
withholding tax on applicable payments to non-U.S. persons, notwithstanding any otherwise applicable provisions of an income tax treaty. In particular, a payee that is a foreign financial institution that is subject to the diligence and reporting
requirements described above must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by &#147;specified United States persons&#148; or &#147;United States owned
foreign entities&#148; (each as defined in the Code and administrative guidance thereunder), annually report information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on applicable payments to noncompliant foreign financial institutions and account holders.
Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States with respect to these requirements may be subject to different rules. The foregoing withholding regime generally applies to
payments of dividends on our stock. In general, to avoid withholding, any non-U.S. intermediary through which a stockholder owns our stock must establish its compliance with the foregoing regime, and a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> stockholder must provide specified documentation (usually an applicable IRS Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-8)</FONT> containing information about its identity, its status, and if required its
direct and indirect U.S. owners. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> stockholders and stockholders who hold our stock through a non-U.S. intermediary are urged to consult their own tax advisor regarding foreign account tax compliance.

U.S. Holders of such original issue discount debt securities should be aware that, as described in greater detail below, they generally must include OID in ordinary gross income for federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in advance of the
receipt of cash attributable to that income. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A debt security will generally be considered to be issued with OID if its stated redemption
price at maturity (as defined below) exceeds its issue price (as defined below) by an amount equal to or greater than the product of 0.25% of such stated redemption price multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity. The &#147;stated
redemption price at maturity&#148; of a debt security is generally the sum of all payments to be made on the debt security other than qualified stated interest (as defined below). &#147;Qualified stated interest&#148; is generally stated interest
that is unconditionally payable in cash or in property (other than our debt instruments) at least annually during the entire term of a debt security at a single fixed rate or, subject to certain conditions, based on one or more interest indices. The
&#147;issue price&#148; of each debt security in a particular offering will generally be the first price at which a substantial amount of that particular offering is sold to the public (ignoring sales to underwriters, placement agents or
wholesalers). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, each U.S. Holder of an original issue discount debt security, whether such U.S. Holder uses the cash or the
accrual method of tax accounting, will be required to include in ordinary gross income the sum of the &#147;daily portions&#148; of OID on the debt security for all days during the taxable year that the U.S. Holder owns the debt security. The daily
portions of OID on an original issue discount debt security are determined by allocating to each day in any accrual period a ratable portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. Accrual periods may be any length and may vary in length over
the term of an original issue discount debt security, provided that no accrual period is longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on either the final day or the first day of an accrual period. In the case of an
initial U.S. Holder, the amount of OID on an original issue discount debt security allocable to each accrual period is determined by (a)&nbsp;multiplying the adjusted issue price (as defined below) of the original issue discount debt security at the
beginning of the accrual period by the yield to maturity (as defined below) of such original issue discount debt security (appropriately adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period) and (b)&nbsp;subtracting from that product the amount (if
any) of qualified stated interest allocable to that accrual period. The &#147;yield to maturity&#148; of a debt security is the discount rate that causes the present value of all payments on the debt security as of its original issue date to equal
the issue price of such debt security. The &#147;adjusted issue price&#148; of an original issue discount debt security at the beginning of any accrual period will generally be the sum of its issue price (generally including accrued interest, if
any) and the amount of OID allocable to all prior accrual periods, reduced by the amount of all payments other </P>

than payments of qualified stated interest (if any) made with respect to such debt security in all prior accrual periods. As a result of this &#147;constant-yield&#148; method of including OID in
income, the amounts includible in income by a U.S. Holder in respect of an original issue discount debt security denominated in U.S. dollars generally are lesser in the early years and greater in the later years than the amounts that would be
includible on a straight-line basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A U.S. Holder generally may make an irrevocable election to include in its income its entire return
on a debt security (i.e., the excess of all remaining payments to be received on the debt security, including payments of qualified stated interest, over the amount paid by such U.S. Holder for such debt security) under the constant-yield method
described above. For debt securities purchased at a premium or bearing market discount in the hands of the U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder making such election will also be deemed to have made the election (described below under &#147;&#151;Premium and
Market Discount&#148;) to amortize premium or to accrue market discount in income currently on a constant-yield basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A subsequent U.S.

that purchases an original issue discount debt security at a price other than the debt security&#146;s issue price, also generally will be required to include in gross income the daily portions of OID, calculated as described above. However, if such
U.S. Holder acquires the original issue discount debt security with &#147;acquisition premium&#148; (i.e., at a price greater than its adjusted issue price, which in the case of an initial U.S. Holder would be the issue price), the U.S. Holder is
required to reduce its periodic inclusions of OID income by a portion of the acquisition premium equal to the ratio of the OID that would otherwise be includable in such U.S. Holder&#146;s income with respect to the debt security during the current

remaining payments to be made on the debt security (other than payments of qualified stated interest) will be considered to have purchased the debt security at a premium, and may elect to amortize such premium (as an offset to interest income),
using a constant-yield method, over the remaining term of the debt security. Such election, once made, generally applies to all debt securities held or subsequently acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first taxable year to which the election
applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder that elects to amortize such premium must reduce its tax basis in a debt security by the amount of the premium amortized during its holding period. Original issue discount
debt securities purchased at a premium will not be subject to the OID rules described above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With respect to a U.S. Holder that does not
elect to amortize bond premium, the amount of bond premium will be included in the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis when the debt security matures or is disposed of by the U.S. Holder. Therefore, a U.S. Holder that does not elect to amortize such
premium and that holds the debt security to maturity generally will be required to treat the premium as a capital loss when the debt security matures. If the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-electing</FONT> U.S. Holder disposes of the debt
security prior to maturity, the premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss that the U.S. Holder would otherwise recognize on the disposition. </P>

case of an original issue discount debt security, its adjusted issue price, by at least 0.25% of the sum of the remaining payments to be made on the debt security (other than payments of
qualified stated interest) multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity, the debt security will be considered to have &#147;market discount&#148; in the hands of such U.S. Holder. In such case, gain realized by the U.S. Holder on
the disposition of the debt security generally will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that accrued on the debt security while held by such U.S. Holder. In addition, the U.S. Holder could be required to defer the
deduction of the interest paid on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry the debt security. In general terms, market discount on a debt security will be treated as accruing ratably over the term of such debt security or, at the
