05 — COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

ITEM 2.05 — COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES On June 11, 2024, Crown Castle Inc. ("Company") initiated a restructuring plan ("Plan") as part of the Company's efforts to drive operational efficiencies and enhance returns by increasing return thresholds on new growth opportunities and reducing operating costs, with a primary focus on the Company's Fiber segment. The Plan includes reducing the Company's total employee headcount by more than 10% and closing certain offices. In connection with the Plan, the Company estimates it will incur aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $110 million, most of which the Company expects to incur in the second and third quarters of 2024. In connection with the employee headcount reduction under the Plan, the Company estimates it will incur restructuring charges of approximately $45 million, substantially all of which would be cash expenditures consisting primarily of employee severance and other one-time termination benefits. In connection with the office closures under the Plan, the Company estimates it will incur restructuring charges of approximately $65 million, of which approximately $55 million will be cash expenditures related to remaining obligations under facility leases, with the remaining approximately $10 million primarily representing the write-off of leasehold improvements. The actions associated with the employee headcount reduction are expected to be substantially completed by the end of second quarter of 2024. The actions associated with the office closures are expected to be substantially completed by the end of third quarter of 2024; however, the payments associated with facility lease obligations are expected to be made over future years in accordance with their terms. Charges related to the Plan will be reported in "Restructuring charges" in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
