American Tower Closes Latin American Tranche of Telxius Towers Acquisition

American Tower Corporation (NYSE: AMT) today announced that it has closed the Latin American tranche of its Telxius Towers acquisition, comprised of over 7,000 communications sites in Brazil, Peru, Chile and Argentina, for total consideration of approximately €0.9 billion (approximately $1.1 billion at current foreign currency exchange rates).

American Tower expects these assets to generate approximately $70 million in property revenue and approximately $40 million in gross margin for the balance of 2021, at current foreign currency exchange rates, and to be immediately accretive to Consolidated AFFO per Share.
