Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 4, 2024, American Tower Corporation (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, ATC Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. and ATC Telecom Infrastructure Private Limited (“ATC TIPL”), which holds the Company’s operations in India, consistent with its previously disclosed exploration of strategic alternatives for the Company’s operations in India, entered into an agreement with Data Infrastructure Trust (“DIT”), an infrastructure investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management, pursuant to which DIT will acquire 100% of the equity interests in ATC TIPL (the “Pending ATC TIPL Transaction”).

The Company will retain the full economic benefit associated with the optionally convertible debentures issued by one of its customers in India, Vodafone Idea Limited, and rights to payments on certain existing customer receivables. Subject to certain pre-closing terms, total cash proceeds would potentially represent up to approximately 210 billion Indian Rupees (approximately $2.5 billion), including the repayment of existing intercompany debt and the repayment, or assumption, of the Company's existing term loan in India, by DIT. The Pending ATC TIPL Transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including government and regulatory approvals.

A copy of the press release (the “Press Release”) announcing entry into the Pending ATC TIPL Transaction is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
