Summary
This Form 8-K filing by American Tower Corporation (AMT) on November 8, 2006, primarily serves to announce the issuance of a press release regarding the company's third-quarter financial results for the period ending September 30, 2006. Additionally, the press release contains findings from an internal review of the company's stock option granting practices. Investors should note that the press release is furnished as an exhibit and is not considered "filed" under the Securities Exchange Act, meaning it does not carry the same liabilities as a formally filed document. The focus of this report is on the disclosure of Q3 2006 financial performance and the preliminary outcomes of the stock option review. While the specific financial figures and details of the stock option review are contained within the press release (Exhibit 99.1), this 8-K acts as the official notification of their release. Investors are directed to review the furnished press release for substantive information regarding the company's operational and financial condition during the third quarter, as well as any implications arising from the stock option practices review.
