HOUSTON, Dec. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE: CCI) (“Crown Castle” or the “Company”) today announced a comprehensive review of the Company’s fiber business and the addition of two new independent directors to the Company’s Board. The initiatives were announced in connection with a cooperation agreement with Elliott Investment Management L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Elliott”), pursuant to which Crown Castle will appoint Jason Genrich, Senior Portfolio Manager at Elliott, and Sunit Patel, former Chief Financial Officer of Level-3 Communications and Executive Vice President of T-Mobile, to the Company’s Board of Directors.

As part of this agreement, Crown Castle has formed the following special committees of the Board:

  • Fiber Review Committee. The Fiber Review Committee will direct a strategic and operating review of the Company’s fiber business, with the goal of enhancing and unlocking shareholder value. The Fiber Review Committee will be chaired by P. Robert Bartolo (Chair of the Crown Castle Board) and will include four additional directors, including Anthony J. Melone (the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer), Kevin A. Stephens, and newly appointed directors Mr. Genrich and Mr. Patel. Together, the Fiber Review Committee members will work to determine the best path forward for the fiber business and will make their recommendations to the full Board.

Crown Castle has the preeminent portfolio of strategic tower and fiber assets in the United States, and I am confident that this agreement will pave the way for a new chapter of value creation for its shareholders.”

As a result, the Board will be comprised of 12 directors, 11 of whom are independent. As previously announced, Jay Brown will step down as a Director of the Company, effective January 16, 2024.

Mr. Bartolo continued, “On behalf of the Crown Castle team, I want to thank Ben and Maria for their dedicated service to the Company.

Similarly, we appreciate Maria’s contributions and her expertise in helping to navigate a volatile environment over the last year. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.”
