Item 5. Other Events.
On January 16, 2001, SpectraSite announced in a press release certain
operating statistics for the fourth quarter of 2000. A copy of the press release
is being filed as exhibit 99.1 to this report.
On January 19, 2001, SpectraSite announced in a press release that
SpectraSite's European joint venture, SpectraSite Transco Ltd, had purchased 19%
of the share capital of Paris-based telecommunications network development
company SOFRER S.A. A copy of the press release is being filed as exhibit 99.2
to this report.
On December 20, 2000, SpectraSite completed the private offering of
$200,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of 12 1/2% senior notes due
2010, which we refer to as the old notes. SpectraSite entered into a
registration rights agreement with the initial purchaser of the old notes in the
private offering in which it agreed, among other things, to complete an exchange
offer for the old notes. On January 26, 2001, SpectraSite commenced an offer to
exchange the old notes for its Series B 12 1/2% senior notes due 2010, which
have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. SpectraSite mailed the
exchange offer prospectus and the related letter of transmittal and notice of
guaranteed delivery to holders of record of the old notes as of January 24,
2001. In order to be exchanged, outstanding old notes must be properly tendered
and accepted. SpectraSite will exchange all old notes validly tendered and not
validly withdrawn. SpectraSite will issue registered notes on or promptly after
the expiration of the exchange offer. The exchange offer will expire at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, February 26, 2001 unless SpectraSite decides to extend
the expiration date. This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the registered
notes in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
State. A prospectus relating to the exchange offer may be obtained from
SpectraSite.
