Note 19 - Subsequent Events

Effective October 1, 2014, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of WesTower Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WesTower”), for approximately $199 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. WesTower is a telecommunications services firm, focusing on construction and maintenance of communications infrastructure related to wireless networks throughout the United States. WesTower currently provides services to a number of major wireless carriers through regional operating offices located throughout the Eastern, Central and Western United States. WesTower will be included in the Company’s Communications segment. Due to the limited amount of time since the acquisition of WesTower, the initial accounting for the acquisition is incomplete. The Company will complete an initial allocation of purchase price to total net assets acquired for the WesTower acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2014 and include the related disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In connection with the WesTower acquisition, the Company amended its Credit Facility in October 2014. The amendment used a portion of the Credit Facility's $250 million accordion feature to make available an additional $75 million term loan (the "Term Loan"), which increased aggregate borrowing commitments to $1.075 billion. The interest, maturity and other provisions of the Term Loan are substantially identical to those of all other loans under the Credit Facility. For additional information regarding loan provisions under the Credit Facility, see Note 9 - Debt in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
