Summary
This 8-K filing from American Tower Corporation (AMT) on September 16, 2016, primarily announces a routine event for investors: the declaration of a quarterly cash dividend. The company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.55 per share of common stock. This dividend is scheduled to be paid on October 17, 2016, to shareholders who are on record as of the close of business on September 30, 2016.
