&ndash; March 5, 2024 &ndash; Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE: CCI) (&ldquo;Crown Castle&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) today commented
on the self-serving litigation brought by Ted Miller and Boots Capital Management.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">The lawsuit
brought by Mr. Miller is without merit and underscores that his activism campaign against Crown Castle is focused on his own self interests.
These interests include, among other things, the appointment to the Board of himself and three of his handpicked nominees (including
his son-in-law), and getting himself installed as a paid executive of the Company (with the title of executive chairman) after spending
more than 22 years away. After previously calling for the Board to act with urgency, Mr. Miller is seeking as part of his litigation
a Court order to, among other things, impede progress on the Company&rsquo;s ongoing CEO search and the strategic and operating review
of its fiber business.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">In addition
to advancing a self-serving agenda, impeding value-creation work that Mr. Miller claims to support, and being premised on a host of misleading
assertions and outright inaccuracies, Mr. Miller&rsquo;s litigation seeks inappropriately to weaponize the Delaware Court of Chancery&rsquo;s
(the &ldquo;Court&rdquo;) recent decision in <I>West Palm Beach Firefighters&rsquo; Pension Fund v. Moelis &amp; Co.</I> in an attempt
to gain an advantage in his proxy fight against the Company.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">The facts are
these: with the advice of counsel, Crown Castle entered in a market-standard cooperation agreement with Elliott on December 19, 2023.
Subsequently, on February 23, 2024, the Court issued a decision in <I>Moelis</I>. On March 4, 2024, Crown Castle announced that the Company
and Elliott had agreed to amend certain provisions of the Cooperation Agreement to:</FONT></P>

Mr. Miller&rsquo;s misleading allegations and distinct from <I>Moelis</I>, Elliott did not control Crown Castle before or as a result

appointed with input from Elliott.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">In truth,
Mr. Miller is the one who seeks to dominate Crown Castle by having the Company name him executive chairman and put two of his
associates and his son-in-law on the Board. It is Mr. Miller who effectively seeks to dictate the outcome of the strategic and
operating review of Crown Castle&rsquo;s fiber business by forcing the Board to &ldquo;onboard Boots advisors,&rdquo; &ldquo;assume
cost for Boots work product&rdquo; (which Mr. Miller has stated amounts to approximately $5 million) and compensate the Boots team
in some unspecified way to ensure it is &ldquo;aligned &hellip; for value achievement.&rdquo;<FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><SUP>1</SUP></FONT></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">Mr. Miller seeks
this unjustified degree of control over Crown Castle despite owning far less than 1% of the Company, with the majority of his investment
position held in the form of call options with less than one year of duration.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">The Board values
feedback from all its shareholders and incorporates such feedback and suggestions in its deliberations. As such, all feedback, including
the suggestions from Mr. Miller, are being considered as part of the Board&rsquo;s strategic review, which is focused on generating long-term
value for all shareholders. Contrary to the Company&rsquo;s goals, Mr. Miller&rsquo;s proxy fight and his lawsuit seek above all else
to prioritize his own interests, regardless of the consequences for Crown Castle&rsquo;s shareholders.</FONT></P>
