ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED FD DISCLOSURE

        On August 11, 2004, Board members Dr. Arthur B. Laffer and Mr. Joseph P. Kennedy II each advised that he was resigning from the Board of Directors of MasTec, Inc. (the “Company”), effective immediately. On August 13, 2004, Mr. William N. Shiebler advised that he was resigning from the Board, effectively immediately.

        Mr. Kennedy resigned for personal reasons. Dr. Laffer resigned because the Chairman and Board did not call a meeting to consider his proposals to require an outside Chairman and remove one of the current directors. Mr. Shiebler resigned over similar issues involving his proposals to restructure the Board.

        Under the Company’s corporate by-laws, the Chairman, the President, or any two directors may call for a special meeting of the Board. No meeting was called to discuss these issues and therefore, no vote was taken by the Board on Dr. Laffer’s or Mr. Shiebler’s proposals before these resignations.

        In 2003, the Board commissioned a survey of the Company’s Board structure and policies, including the possibility that the Chairman of the Board be an outside director. That survey did discuss the possibility of an outside Chairman, but disclosed strong support for the current Chairman. The Board did not act to require an outside Chairman.

        The Company has engaged a specialty recruiting firm to help fill the Board vacancies.
