EXPLANATORY NOTE/DEREGISTRATION OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

The Registrant is filing these Post-Effective Amendments No. 1 to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statements”), which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

 

  i. (No. 333-72927) originally covering 971,850 shares of Class A common stock of American Tower Corporation which underlie options that were issued to purchase shares of common stock of OmniAmerica, Inc. and assumed by the Registrant (Specialty Teleconstructors, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and the Specialty Teleconstructors, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan); and
  ii. (No. 333-56331) originally covering 1,252,364 shares of Class A common stock of American Tower Corporation (American Tower Corporation 1995 Stock Option Plan).

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that have not been sold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby amends the Registration Statements to deregister any remaining securities registered and unsold under the Registration Statements. The securities are being removed from registration because the Registrant no longer offers or sells the securities under the Plans referenced above and in the Registration Statements.
