          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We believe that urgent changes in Crown Castle&#8217;s leadership and strategy are necessary to allow the Company to meet its full potential and unlock significant value for its customers, employees and shareholders. For several&#160;years, Crown Castle has lagged behind its peers in terms of operational metrics and financial performance (see </font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Reasons for the Solicitation</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">). We believe these reflect the shortcomings of the Company&#8217;s existing leadership and its failed management and operations strategy. The Company&#8217;s recent record, particularly the significant decline in its stock price, lagging returns and management upheaval reinforces the immediate need for a shareholder-driven enhancements to the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors and the immediate sale of the Company&#8217;s fiber business. </font>

As explained in the attached proxy statement, we believe the Boots Nominees, if elected, will work collaboratively with Crown Castle&#8217;s remaining directors to restore stakeholder confidence by installing an effective management team and setting an efficient operation of strategy grounded in technological innovation. In our view, we have assembled the right slate and proposed executive chairman to navigate this pivotal moment and restore Crown Castle to excellence. </font>

Assuming the Boots Nominees receive sufficient votes to be elected to the Board, your vote to elect the Boots Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing four incumbent directors of the Company. If elected, the Boots Nominees, subject to their fiduciary duties as directors, will seek to work with the other members of the Board to maximize stockholder value. However, the Boots Nominees will constitute a minority on the Board and there can be no guarantee that they will be able to implement the actions that they believe are necessary to do so. There is no assurance that the Company&#8217;s other directors will serve as directors if any of the Boots Nominees are elected. </font>

In 2024, we plan to capitalize on these opportunities, resulting in approximately $1.2&#160;billion in discretionary capital expenditures, net of customer contributions, with $1.1&#160;billion in our fiber segment.&#8221; </font>

(the &#8220;</font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Delaware Action</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;). As set forth in greater detail therein, the Boots Complaint contended that the Elliott Cooperation Agreement entrenches the current members of the Board, constitutes a breach of the Bylaws and constitutes a breach of the Board&#8217;s fiduciary duties. Accordingly, Mr.&#160;Miller and Boots Capital sought judgment: (i)&#160;invalidating and declaring unenforceable the Elliott Cooperation Agreement; (ii)&#160;finding that the Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties; (iii)&#160;finding that Elliott aided and abetted the Director Defendants&#8217; breaches of their fiduciary duties; (iv)&#160;finding that the Company breached the Bylaws; and (v)&#160;enjoining the Company and the Board from enforcing certain provisions of the Elliott Cooperation Agreement, including that the Company recommend that Stockholders vote for the election of the New Directors at the 2024 Annual Meeting, solicit proxies in connection with such election and cause all Common Stock represented by proxies granted to the Company to be voted for the New Directors. </font>

Through the Motion to Expedite, the Boots Plaintiffs petitioned the Court to expedite the litigation so that the parties could resolve their disputes over the Company&#8217;s governance, business plans, and management before the 2024 Annual Meeting. In support of the Motion to Expedite, the Boots Plaintiffs argued that they had colorable claims that the Elliott Cooperation Agreement violated Section&#160;141 of the DGCL and that the Elliott Cooperation Agreement was an unreasonable entrenchment device subject to enhanced judicial scrutiny under </font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Unocal Corp. v. Mesa Petroleum Co.</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">, 493 A.2d 936 (Del. 1985). The Boots Plaintiffs further petitioned the Court to order the Company to maintain the status quo with respect to the operations of the Board&#8217;s Fiber Review Committee and CEO Search Committee, and to prevent the Company from entering into any transaction with respect to its fiber business or hiring a permanent CEO pending resolution of the Delaware Action. </font>

The Court denied the Status Quo Motion following the hearing. At the hearing, however, Vice Chancellor Laster stated, &#8220;. . . what I don&#8217;t want to have happen is to have something unfixable or unalterable suddenly being announced as an after-the-fact thing, without the plaintiff having at least some notice&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;and my instinct would be five business days&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;so that if [Plaintiffs] believe that there is some reason why this would dramatically upset the </font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">status quo</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;"> and later the proxy contest and could be viewed as some form of interference with voting rights in its own right, that they would have an opportunity to come and challenge it.&#8221;</font><font style=" position:relative; bottom:4.25pt;font-size:7.5pt;letter-spacing:0.15pt;">1</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;"> Following the hearing, Vice Chancellor Laster entered an order instructing that Mr.&#160;Miller and Boots Capital&#8217;s challenge to the Amended Cooperation Agreement&#8217;s Recommendation Provision and </font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Unocal</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;"> claim would be heard on an expedited basis. </font>

In light of the Elliott Waiver, the Board represented to the Court that it intends to run a fresh recommendation process before the Board makes any recommendation to Stockholders in its preliminary proxy statement. As a result of the Elliott Waiver and the Board&#8217;s commitment to run a fresh process to evaluate director nominees, the Crown Castle Defendants assured the Court that expedited proceedings were no longer necessary. </font>

During the hearing, Vice Chancellor Laster found that Plaintiff&#8217;s Renewed Status Quo Motion stated a colorable claim that the timing of the expansion of the Board from 12 to 13 directors improperly interfered with the proxy contest. The Court ordered expedited discovery allowing the Boots Plaintiffs to explore whether Defendants&#8217; expansion of the Board was done in good faith and for a proper purpose, as required by Delaware law, and proposed May&#160;8, 2024 as a tentative date for a hearing to consider the Boots Plaintiffs&#8217; request for the injunctive relief sought by the Boots Plaintiffs in the Renewed Status Quo Motion.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We are seeking Stockholder support for the Boots Nominees because we believe that Crown Castle has great potential, but currently finds itself in a period of turmoil. Mr.&#160;Miller co-founded Crown Castle in 1994 and served as the Company&#8217;s CEO from 1994 to 2002 and Chairman of the Board from 1999 to 2002. Mr.&#160;Miller believes that over the past decade-plus, the Company&#8217;s leadership engaged in a series of strategic and operational missteps. These include, most notably, the sale of international assets, resulting in potentially billions of dollars of opportunity loss for Stockholders, and the imprudent acquisition and capital investment of over $20&#160;billion of fiber assets since 2012, that has reduced shareholder returns. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Company&#8217;s stock price has performed worse than its direct peers during the 15-year, 10-year, 5-year, 3-year, 2-year and 1-year periods prior to January&#160;1, 2024 (see Exhibit&#160;1 below). The Company spends over a billion dollars each year in capital expenditures related to its fiber business, a segment that consistently generates returns only in line with its average weighted cost of capital. As a result of mismanagement and an ineffective deployment of resources, the Company has underperformed its direct peers over all relevant time periods in the last ten&#160;years (see Exhibit&#160;2 below). The Company does not produce returns at a level sufficient to fund its Stockholder dividends, forcing it turn to external financing to pay such dividends&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;a practice that is unsustainable. The Company has also had significant upheaval to its management ranks and reversed course on a number of important decisions. The Company experienced excessive turnover in its fiber business since acquiring the fiber assets, with more than a dozen of the executives from the Company&#8217;s fiber acquisitions resigning over the last ten&#160;years. In the last three&#160;years, the two executives leading the Company&#8217;s tower segment resigned. In October&#160;2023, the Company announced the departure of its Chief Financial Officer, but that departure was reversed in light of the retirement of the Company&#8217;s CEO, Jay A. Brown, which was announced at the end of 2023. In December&#160;2023, the Company cancelled its plans to relocate more than 1,000 employees at the Company&#8217;s Southpointe, Pennsylvania corporate campus, which had been announced just two&#160;months prior. We believe that Crown Castle&#8217;s chronic underperformance and chaotic management has led to an operational and personnel crisis that must be addressed immediately. </font>

Our nominees have a vision for the Company&#8217;s near and long-term future that we believe will instill confidence in the Company&#8217;s employees, customers, Stockholders and other stakeholders. If elected, the Boots Nominees would work diligently to support Mr.&#160;Moskowitz in his new role as President and CEO of the Company as well as the rest of the Board and the Company&#8217;s management during a period of major transition that resets Company culture and bolster employee morale. We selected our slate of nominees because we believe they are well suited to guide Crown Castle through this transition and execute on a value-enhancing strategy. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We shared the Boots Strategic Plan, including our proposed slate consisting of the Boots Nominees, with Chairman Bartolo on December&#160;27, 2023 and with the full Board on January&#160;30, 2024. Despite our efforts to engage constructively with the Board and management, we believe that the Company has taken measures to entrench the current Board. In our opinion, this has prevented or delayed the adoption of the necessary measures that we believe will put the Company on a path to maximizing value for all Stockholders. One example is the Elliott Cooperation Agreement, which was entered into on December&#160;19, 2023, just twenty-two days after the public release of Elliott&#8217;s first letter to the Board. We believe that the Elliott Cooperation Agreement exemplifies the Company&#8217;s inadequate corporate governance. On February&#160;14, 2024, we suggested that the Elliott Cooperation Agreement be submitted to a vote of the Stockholders. Following the Company&#8217;s rejection of our request, we filed the Delaware Action in an effort to have the Elliott Cooperation Agreement enjoined. Since we filed the Delaware Action, the Company and Elliott amended the provisions of the Elliott Cooperation Agreement on two separate occasions, which we believe was done in response to the claims we brought to light through our litigation. On March&#160;3, 2024, the Company and Elliott entered into the Amended Elliott Cooperation Agreement changing or eliminating certain provisions of the Elliott Cooperation Agreement that our Complaint identified as improper under Delaware law. Then, when the Court scheduled an expedited preliminary injunction hearing on certain of our claims, notwithstanding these Amendments, Elliott agreed to irrevocably waive the Recommendation Provision and the Board stated its intention to run a fresh recommendation process to evaluate director nominees. We view these concessions by the incumbent Board and Elliott as a victory for all Stockholders and an admission by the Company that certain provisions of the Elliott Cooperation Agreement were misguided. We will continue to vigorously defend the rights of all Stockholders through this litigation and, while that process unfolds, we will continue to seek the implementation of our strategic objectives through the election of the Boots Nominees. We are undertaking this two-pronged approach in order to hold the incumbent Board accountable, optimize Stockholder value, and begin earning back the trust of Stockholders and the market at large. </font>

            <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">According to the Company&#8217;s proxy statement, the Company currently has a Board consisting of twelve directors, each elected annually by the Stockholders or, as vacancies arise, by the remaining Board members. We are seeking your support at the 2024 Annual Meeting to elect the four Boots Nominees, each for a term of one year, to serve until their respective successors are elected and qualified: Theodore B. Miller, Jr., Tripp H. Rice, Charles Campbell Green III and David P. Wheeler. Assuming the Boots Nominees receive sufficient votes to be elected to the Board, your vote to elect the Boots Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing four incumbent directors of the Company with the Boots Nominees. If all four Boots Nominees are elected, the Boots Nominees together will represent a minority of the members of the Board, and therefore it is not guaranteed that they will be able to implement any actions that may be necessary to enhance Stockholder value. However, we believe that the election of the Boots Nominees is an important step in the right direction for enhancing long-term value at the Company. There is no assurance that any incumbent director will serve as a director if elected to the Board. You should refer to the Company&#8217;s proxy statement for the names, background, qualifications and other information concerning the Company&#8217;s nominees. </font>

          <font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Theodore B. Miller, Jr.</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">, age 72, is a lawyer and accountant by education and has extensive executive, financial and governance experience as a significant shareholder, executive officer and director of both start-up and large public companies. He has also served on public company audit, compensation, finance and governance board committees. Mr.&#160;Miller worked for Ernst &amp; Young, an international accounting firm, after graduating from law school and has since been involved in telecommunications infrastructure, real estate development and project management, including design, construction, engineering, leasing, and property management. It was his real estate experience that led to the idea of wireless carriers (mobile network operators) outsourcing their tower infrastructure and ultimately to the founding of Crown Castle. He has also been involved globally in human resource logistics, business process outsourcing, manufacturing, and distribution logistics for companies such as The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrup Grumman Corporation, and L-3 Communications Holdings (now part of L3Harris Technologies, Inc.), as well as for the U.S. Department of Defense. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Mr.&#160;Miller co-founded the Company in 1994 and served as the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer from 1994 until 2002. He also served as the Company&#8217;s Executive Chairman from 1999 to 2002.Mr.&#160;Miller served as the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer during its initial public offering (&#8220;</font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">IPO</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;) in 1998, which introduced towers as an investable asset class and the beginning of the tower industry relative to mobile network operators (MNOs) outsourcing their tower infrastructure as a source of capital, and in 2000, when the Company transitioned from NASDAQ to the NYSE. Under Mr.&#160;Miller&#8217;s leadership at Crown Castle, the Company became the first international communications infrastructure company with operations in the U.S., U.K. Australia, Europe and South America. In addition, it is Mr.&#160;Miller&#8217;s understanding that during his tenure at the Company, Crown Castle was the first tower company to (i)&#160;own and operate a rooftop program, (ii)&#160;establish an international presence, (iii)&#160;acquire a major MNO&#8217;s infrastructure (Bell Atlantic&#160;/ Verizon), (iv)&#160;offer a complete turnkey tower infrastructure service program, (v)&#160;establish a Network Operating Center (NOC) to monitor all tower and network activities in the U.S., (vi)&#160;provide &#8220;five nines&#8221; turnkey network service under a 10 year service level agreement with the British Broadcasting Corporation, to distribute television and radio signals to the U.K. population as well as to design and construct the world&#8217;s first Digital Audio Broadcast and Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcast networks, (vii)&#160;offer leasing capability through its NOC, by providing structural loading information, radio frequency interference analysis and leasing information to its customers, which was the beginning of customer relationship management (CRM) in the tower business and which allowed the conversion of orders to cash quickly, and (viii)&#160;develop an automated Oracle-based management system with JD Edwards &amp; Company&#8217;s financial and property management capability tied to its NOCs. Over the course of Mr.&#160;Miller&#8217;s career at Crown Castle, he frequently spoke at major telecommunication conferences around the world and performed hundreds of investor presentations. In addition, Mr.&#160;Miller led over ten global road shows in approximately 18&#160;months to raise billions of dollars in equity and debt financing to finance key acquisitions, including major MNO tower portfolio acquisitions from British Telecommunications plc, One 2 One (now T-Mobile), Bell Atlantic Mobile, BellSouth Corporation and its affiliates, Powertel Inc., GTE Corporation, Cable and Wireless Optus and Vodafone Australia, among others. </font>

In deciding if, when and in what amount to pay such additional amount, 4M Management Partners may consider a variety of factors that 4M Management Partners deems to be relevant in making such determination, which may include the occurrence of certain events, including if the Stockholders vote to elect, or the Board otherwise appoints, the Boots Nominees to the Board. </font>

In addition, non-employee directors are awarded equity grants as follows: each newly appointed non-employee director is granted a number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock having a valuation equal to approximately $90,000, priced at the per share closing price of the Common Stock as of the effective date of the director&#8217;s appointment or election (&#8220;</font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Initial Equity Grant</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;); provided, that if a director is appointed or elected on or about the date of an Annual Equity Grant (defined below), the director generally receives the Annual Equity Grant in lieu of an Initial Equity Grant. Each year, following the Board&#8217;s first regularly scheduled meeting, each non-employee director typically receives a grant of shares of Common Stock (&#8220;</font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Annual Equity Grant</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;), which is pro-rated for any director not expected to serve past that year&#8217;s annual meeting of stockholders. For 2023, the valuation of the Common Stock grant was equal to approximately $230,000 ($330,000 in the case of the Board Chair), based upon the per share closing price of the Common Stock as of the date of such Board meeting. The Boots Parties expect that the Boots Nominees, if elected, may receive director compensation in the same amount as all other non-employee directors of the Company. </font>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Boots Parties acknowledge that no director of a NYSE listed company qualifies as &#8220;independent&#8221; under the NYSE listing standards unless the board of directors of such company affirmatively determines that such director is independent under such standards. Accordingly, the Boots Parties acknowledge that if any Boots Nominee is elected, the determination of such Boots Nominee&#8217;s independence under the NYSE listing standards ultimately rests with the judgment and discretion of the Board. If elected, we believe that each Boots Nominee would qualify as an independent member of the Company&#8217;s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee and Strategy Committee under each such committee&#8217;s applicable independence standards. In addition, each Boots Nominee understands that, if elected as a director of the Company, such Boots Nominee would have an obligation to act in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders in accordance with his duties as a director. </font>

However, brokers will have discretion to vote on routine matters such as the Auditor Proposal to the extent we do not provide Stockholders holding their shares in street name with a gold universal proxy card or gold voting instruction form. A broker&#8217;s inability to vote with respect to the matters for which the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner is referred to as a &#8220;broker non-vote.&#8221; According to the Company&#8217;s proxy statement, broker non-votes may be counted towards the quorum requirement. Broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on the Nomination Proposal, the Compensation Proposal and the Bylaw Proposal. In the event that you receive a gold universal proxy card or gold voting instruction form and you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other such holder how to vote your shares with respect to the Auditor Proposal, your broker, bank or other such holder will not have discretion to vote on the Auditor Proposal. In such circumstances, your shares will (i)&#160;not be considered as a vote cast on the Auditor Proposal, (ii)&#160;have no effect on the outcome of the Auditor Proposal and (iii)&#160;not be counted in determining whether a quorum exists at the 2024 Annual Meeting. As a result, if you receive a gold voting instruction form and you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other such holder how to vote your shares, no votes will be cast on your behalf on the Nomination Proposal, the Auditor Proposal, the Compensation Proposal and the Bylaw Proposals. </font>
