Why should I sell my cell tower land lease?

You, like many cellular site landlords, may view your wireless lease as an income generator, but we can help you turn that income stream into significant wealth. Our typical clients have used their proceeds to purchase properties, pay down mortgage or other debts, or invest in high-yield instruments. How you use the proceeds is entirely up to you.

Why do you want to buy my cell tower land lease?

The truth is we enjoy helping our customers by providing them with liquid funds in a market when liquidity isn't readily available. And we're in business to do so. We leverage our market expertise to acquire a highly diversified portfolio that, over time, allows us to make a reasonable profit. Diversification is key for us; the more leases we own, the less risk we experience. We purchase numerous cellular leases across the United States, and we're always interested in expanding our portfolio.

I've been asked to take a rent reduction or risk losing my site. Is this threat for real?

While we cannot tell whether you specific site is at risk for termination, we can share these facts with you:

• Cell site leases, regardless of the stated maximum term, can typically be terminated by their tenants in 30 to 90 days. This cancellation clause seriously limits the value of your lease and your ability to rely on the rents for any length of time greater than the stated termination period.
• Mergers and acquisitions continue to take place in the wireless industry, and many merged entities have announced their intention to eliminate redundant cell sites across their service area.
• We, as one of the largest private leaseholders in the United States, have seen dozens of our assets terminated.

Many landlords who are concerned about losing their lease income have opted to sell their leases, thereby eliminating the risks while gaining capital to take advantage of more substantial reinvestment options.

How is the purchase price for my lease determined?

Wireless Capital assesses a number of attributes related to each cellular site lease, including:

• The tenant(s) paying the rent
• The amount of current rent and the scheduled escalation of rent
• Essential nature of the site and the ability to obtain permits for new cell sites in the area
• Type of structure supporting the radio equipment and antennas

We look forward to showing you the unique value your lease represents.

Will I ever be obligated to pay back any money that I receive from WCP?

No. Once the transaction is complete, you are under no obligation to return any portion of the proceeds, even if the site is terminated. If you plan or decide to sell the underlying property, the proceeds of the transaction are yours, regardless of the property ownership.
