VOTE THE WHITE PROXY CARD OR VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM TODAY “FOR” ONLY THE 12 CROWN CASTLE HIGHLY QUALIFIED DIRECTOR NOMINEES

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Crown Castle has a strong, highly qualified Board that is meaningfully refreshed and has the relevant skills to oversee the execution of our strategy. At Crown Castle’s 2024 Annual Meeting, Ted Miller, along with Boots Capital Management, LLC (“Boots Capital”), is attempting to replace four of the Company’s highly qualified nominees with his own nominees, whose skillsets and perspectives are not additive and do not reflect current industry dynamics and the competitive ecosystem. We urge you to vote the WHITE proxy card or voting instruction form today “FOR” ONLY Crown Castle’s 12 highly qualified director nominees to continue the important progress underway.

CROWN CASTLE’S DIRECTORS HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY ARE EFFECTIVE CHANGE AGENTS WHO ARE SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTING VALUE-ENHANCING INITIATIVES

The Board is taking decisive actions to build a stronger and more valuable Crown Castle, including:

• Appointing 25+ year tower industry veteran Steven J. Moskowitz as President and CEO following a robust search process.
• Advancing its comprehensive strategic and operating review of Crown Castle’s fiber and small cell business to identify the most value-maximizing path forward for shareholders.
• Strengthening the Board by appointing four new independent directors over the past year and seven of our current 11 independent directors since 2020, all of whom bring valuable experience, skills, and perspectives that drive forward Crown Castle’s short- and long-term objectives.
