©2024 | Strictly Confidential - Do Not Transfer or Reproduce PROJECT BOOTS Two Paths Forward: Working Together vs Not Working Together Plan A – CCI w/ Benefit of Boots Plan B – CCI w/o Benefit of Boots • CCI adopts Boots work done to date into its committee structure/process (Accelerate timeline by 6-months – 2024 closing) • CCI begins work on fiber sale due diligence sensitivities and conclusions (12-18 Month process extends into 2025 for CCI) • Boots assigns to CCI 25 NDAs with potential fiber buyers/financing sources that have been actively working for months • CCI approaches all fiber buyers independently without Boots Fiber NDAs, leading to fiber buyer/process confusion, risk and doubts • Capture $1bn+ of tax benefits in 2024 for CCI and fiber buyers • Substantial and probable risk regarding loss of $1bn+ of tax benefits • Expedited buyer regulatory review for 2024 closing • Delayed start to regulatory review • Existing CCI advisors continue work through completion leveraging Boots materials/process • Comprehensive, world-class advisors, fiber experts and Company founder and fiber experts excluded from CCI • Engaged EY team is ready to transfer and support the go-forward+ • CCI advisors unnecessarily recreate completed Boots work • Established team in place while formal CEO process continues • Continue formal CEO search during 2024 CCI proxy process • Executive Chairman/Boots fills immediate leadership void • New CEO will need time to assess fiber sale, strategic plan, etc. • Strategic plan vetted and direction defined • CCI Management/employee confusion continues, creating more overall risk to 2024 fiber sale close, towers reboot and overall clarity • Clear message to market/employees regarding leadership, strategy and fiber • Market confusion continues while CEO search, strategy, sale of fiber and timing undefined – CCI proxy process uncertainty 38
