Crown Castle not recommending Boots Capital director slate

Crown Castle confirmed that Boots Capital Management, which is led by Ted Miller, has nominated four candidates to stand for election to company’s board as its annual meeting. Miller is a co-founder of Crown Castle and resigned as CEO and a director of the Company in 2001 and 2002, respectively. The company said, “After careful consideration of Mr. Miller and his nominees, which included interviews by members of the Crown Castle Board, the Board unanimously determined not to recommend anyone from the Boots Capital slate for election at the Company’s upcoming Annual Meeting. The Crown Castle Board and management team are confident in the actions the Company is taking to remain well positioned for long term success and shareholder value creation. In particular, during the last two months the Company has made significant strides forward toward creating a stronger and more valuable Crown Castle.”
