Acquisitions
WCP Acquisition
On January 12, 2012, the Company announced a definitive agreement to acquire certain subsidiaries of Wireless Capital Partners, LLC ("WCP"). On January 31, 2012 the Company closed the acquisition (“WCP Acquisition”). Upon closing, WCP held various contracts with wireless site owners, including approximately 2,300 ground lease related assets. The results of operations from WCP have been included in the consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition. The Company paid a purchase price that resulted in goodwill at CCUSA primarily because of the strategic opportunities.
The purchase price of $214.7 million includes $39.2 million of restricted cash and excludes the assumption of $336.3 million (after fair value adjustments) of debt. The Company utilized a portion of the borrowings under the senior secured term loans issued in January 2012 ("2012 Term Loans") to fund the cash consideration.
The preliminary purchase price allocation for the WCP Acquisition is based upon a preliminary valuation and the Company's estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price for the WCP Acquisition was primarily allocated to restricted cash, long-term prepaid rent, other intangible assets, deferred tax assets, goodwill and debt. The preliminary purchase price allocation to long-term prepaid rent was approximately $322.4 million and had a weighted-average amortization period of 38 years. See notes 4 and 5.
NextG Networks Acquisition
In December 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire NextG Networks, Inc. ("NextG") for approximately $1.0 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments. On April 10, 2012, the Company closed the acquisition (“NextG Acquisition”). The results of operations from NextG have been included in the consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition.
Prior to the NextG Acquisition, NextG was the largest U.S. provider of outdoor DAS, a network of antennas connected by fiber to a communications hub designed to facilitate wireless communications for wireless carriers. Approximately 75% of NextG's nodes at the time of the acquisition were located in the ten largest metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S.
The Company utilized borrowings under the 2012 Term Loans to fund the cash consideration of approximately $1.0 billion.
The preliminary purchase price allocation for the NextG Acquisition is shown below. The preliminary purchase price allocation, including with respect to fixed assets, intangibles assets and certain liabilities, is based upon a preliminary valuation and the Company's estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information.
