We are making this statement pursuant to the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements described in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements are not historical facts but are the intent, belief, or current expectations of our
business and industry. We make statements in this prospectus, including statements that are

These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to a
number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond
our control, are difficult to predict, and could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include:
|
|
|
economic downturns, reduced capital expenditures, consolidation and technological and
regulatory changes in the industries we serve; |
|
|
|
|
the ability of our customers to terminate or reduce the amount of work or in some cases
prices paid for services under many of our contracts; |
|
|
|
|
market conditions, technical and regulatory changes in our customers industries; |
|
|
|
|
the highly competitive nature of our industry; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to attract and retain qualified managers and skilled employees; |
|
|
|
|
the seasonality and quarterly variations we experience in our revenue and profitability; |
|
|
|
|
our dependence on a limited number of customers; |
|
|
|
|
expectations concerning contingent matters, including the expected outcome of claims,
lawsuits and proceedings and our belief concerning regulatory compliance; |
|
|
|
|
the outcome of our plans for future operations, growth and services, including backlog and acquisitions; |
|
|
|
|
increases in fuel and labor costs; |
|
|
|
|
the restrictions imposed by our credit facility and senior notes; and |
|
|
|
|
the other factors referenced in this prospectus, including, without limitation, under Risk Factors. |
We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place
undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations.
Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. If any of these
risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of our underlying assumptions are incorrect, our
actual results may differ significantly from the results that we express in or imply by any of our
forward-looking statements. These and other risks are detailed in this prospectus, in the documents
that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus and in other documents that we file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise
these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to reflect future events or
circumstances. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary
factors.

Shares Offered By This Prospectus
As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 6, 2007, which is
incorporated by reference into this prospectus, we acquired on that same date the remaining 51%
interest in our minority-owned joint venture, DirectStar TV, LLC, a North Carolina limited
liability company. Part of the consideration paid to acquire such interest was 300,000 shares of
our common stock. In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to file a registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no later than June 1, 2007, to register the resale of
200,000 of those 300,000 shares, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective. This prospectus relates to those 200,000 shares of our
common stock. We are registering the 200,000 shares of common stock on behalf of Red Ventures,
LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, the selling shareholder which received such shares
in consideration for the acquisition described above. We will not receive any proceeds from the
sale by the selling shareholder of any of the 200,000 shares of common stock offered by this
prospectus.
2
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves significant risks. You should carefully consider
the risks incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as updated or supplemented by our
subsequent periodic reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, before you
decide to buy our common stock. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of
these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
See Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. For information on incorporating
our filing into this prospectus, see Incorporation Of Certain Documents By Reference below.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any common stock offered by this prospectus.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The selling shareholder, Red Ventures, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company,
acquired 300,000 shares of our common stock in connection with our acquisition of DirectStar TV,
LLC. To our knowledge, as of the date of this prospectus, the selling shareholder has retained its
beneficial interest in those 300,000 shares. 200,000 of those 300,000 shares are being offered by
this prospectus. The information in this prospectus concerning the selling shareholder was
provided to us by the selling shareholder and we have not independently verified this information.
Because the selling shareholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock which
it holds, and because the offering contemplated by this prospectus is not currently being
underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held
by the selling shareholder upon termination of the offering. The information set forth in the
following table regarding the beneficial ownership after resale of shares is based on the
hypothetical assumption that the selling shareholder will sell all of the shares of common stock
owned by it and covered by this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares on behalf of the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder
(or its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received from
the selling shareholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale-related transfer
after the date of this prospectus) may sell its shares offered by this prospectus to purchasers
directly. Alternatively, the selling shareholder may offer the shares to or through underwriters,
brokers/dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the selling shareholder or the purchasers of shares. The selling shareholder may
pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the common stock owned by it and, if the
selling shareholder defaults in the performance of such secured obligations, the pledgees or
secured parties may offer and sell the relevant common stock pursuant to this prospectus.
To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the
selling shareholder and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the common
stock by the selling shareholder.
The selling shareholder, and any underwriters, brokers/dealers or agents that participate in
the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Any profit realized by it or them on the sale of such shares and any discounts,
commissions, concessions or other compensation received by any underwriter, broker/dealer or agent
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
3
Securities Act. These discounts, commissions or concessions may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling shareholder may sell the shares in one or more transactions:
|
|
|
at fixed prices; |
|
|
|
|
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
|
at prices related to prevailing market prices; and/or |
|
|
|
|
at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. |
The sale of shares may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses (in which the
same broker acts as agent on both sides of the trade) or block transactions:
|
|
|
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares may be
listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
|
in the over-the-counter market; |
|
|
|
|
in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or in the over-the-counter market,
including privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
transactions directly with purchasers or through agents; |
|
|
|
|
through the writing of options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange-listed or otherwise); or |
|
|
|
|
through any combination of the foregoing or by any other legally available means. |
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MTZ.
In connection with sales of the shares or otherwise, the selling shareholder may enter into
hedging transactions with broker-dealers. These broker-dealers may in turn engage in short sales of
the shares in the course of hedging their positions. The selling shareholder may also sell shares
short and deliver shares to close out short positions, or loan or pledge shares to broker-dealers
that in turn may sell shares.
In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule
144, or any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act may be sold under
Rule 144, or any of the other available exemptions rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
Because the selling shareholder may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the selling shareholder may be subject to
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling
shareholder that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities
Act may apply to its sales in the market. Neither the delivery of this prospectus, or any
supplement to this prospectus, nor any other action taken by the selling stockholder or any
purchaser relating to the purchase or sale of any of the shares under this prospectus or any
prospectus supplement shall be treated as an admission that any of them is an underwriter within
the meaning of the Securities Act, relating to the sale of any of such shares.
Upon being notified by the selling shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered
into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange
distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this
prospectus will be filed, if required, which supplement will disclose:
|
|
|
the name of the selling shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s); |
|
|
|
|
the number of shares involved; |
|
|
|
|
the price at which the shares were sold; |
|
|
|
|
the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where
applicable; and |
|
|
|
|
such other facts as may be material to the transaction. |
Under agreements that may be entered into by the selling shareholder, underwriters who
participate in the distribution of shares may be entitled to indemnification by the selling
shareholder against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
4
The selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any
associated with the sale of the shares.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10
per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. As of March 31, 2007
we had 65,549,273 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock
issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
Each share of our common stock entitles its owner to one vote on all matters submitted to a
vote of our shareholders. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, when,
as and if declared by our Board of Directors, in its discretion, from funds legally available for
the payment of dividends. If we liquidate or dissolve, the owners of our common stock will be
entitled to share proportionately in our assets, if any, legally available for distribution to
shareholders, but only after we have paid all of our debts and liabilities.
Our common stock has no preemptive rights, no sinking fund provisions, and no subscription,
redemption or conversion privileges and it is not subject to any further calls or assessments by
us. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock voting for the election of directors can
elect all members of our Board of Directors eligible for election in any year. See Description of
Capital Stock Material Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws. A majority vote
is also sufficient for other actions that require the vote or concurrence of shareholders.
As of March 31, 2007, Jorge Mas, our Chairman, and other members of his family who are
employed by MasTec beneficially own approximately 33.6% of the outstanding shares of our common
stock. They have the power to control our management and affairs. Accordingly, they are in a
position to substantially influence:
|
|
|
the vote of most matters submitted to our shareholders, including any merger,
consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets; |
|
|
|
|
the nomination of individuals to our Board of Directors; and |
|
|
|
|
a change in our control. |
The Mas familys ability to exercise significant control over our management and affairs may
discourage, delay or prevent a takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest and
that might result in you receiving a premium for your common stock. All of the outstanding shares
of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company.
Preferred Stock
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors, without
further shareholder approval, to:
|
|
|
issue preferred stock in one or more series; |
|
|
|
|
establish the number of shares to be included in each such series; and |
|
|
|
|
fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and
any qualifications, limitations or restrictions on those shares. |
The Board of Directors may establish a class or series of preferred stock with preferences,
powers and rights (including voting rights) senior to the rights of the holders of our common
stock. If we issue any of our preferred stock it may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of us.
Material Provisions of Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our By-laws contain material provisions
that may make the acquisition of control of us more difficult.
5
Business Combinations. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation contain material
provisions which may make it more difficult for a person or entity that is the holder of more than
10% of our outstanding voting stock to force us to approve a business combination. For purposes
of this discussion, a business combination includes any:
|
|
|
merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation; |
|
|
|
|
sale or lease of all or any substantial part of our property and assets; or |
|
|
|
|
issuance of our securities in exchange for sale or lease to us of property and assets
having an aggregate fair market value of $1 million or more. |
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation require at least 80% of the voting power of
all of our outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a
single class, to vote in favor of a business combination with any person or entity that is directly
or indirectly the holder of more than 10% of our outstanding voting stock in order for that
transaction to be approved. This voting requirement may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of us. However, this voting requirement is not applicable to
business combinations if either:
|
|
|
our Board of Directors has approved a memorandum of understanding with the other
corporation with respect to the transaction prior to the time that the other corporation
became a holder of more than 10% of our outstanding voting stock; or |
|
|
|
|
the transaction is proposed by a corporation of which we are the majority owner. |
Classified Board of Directors and Related Provisions. Our By-laws provide that the number of
our directors will be established from time to time by a majority vote of our Board of Directors
and our shareholders. Our By-laws also provide that our Board of Directors will be divided into
three classes of directors, with each class having a number as nearly equal as possible and that
directors will serve for staggered three-year terms. As a result, one-third of our Board of
Directors will be elected each year. These classified board provisions could prevent a party who
acquires control of a majority of our outstanding voting stock from obtaining control of the Board
of Directors until the second annual shareholders meeting following the date the acquirer obtains
its controlling interest.
Our shareholders may remove any of our directors or our entire Board of Directors if the votes
in favor of removal constitute at least a majority of all of our outstanding voting stock entitled
to vote. However, our By-laws also provide that our shareholders may only remove our directors for
cause and only by a vote at a meeting which is called for the purpose of removing the director or
directors. Our By-laws define cause as failing to substantially perform ones duties to us (other
than as a result of physical or mental disability) or willfully engaging in gross misconduct
injurious to us. If there is a vacancy on our Board of Directors, a majority of either our
remaining directors or our shareholders may fill the vacancy.
Shareholder Action By Written Consent. Our By-laws provide that any actions which our
shareholders may take at a shareholders meeting can be taken by written consent in lieu of a
meeting.
In order to effect a shareholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, holders of
our outstanding stock having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize the action at a shareholders meeting must sign a written consent which states the action
to be taken. If our shareholders take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting we must
notify all of our shareholders that did not consent to the action in writing within 10 days after
receiving the written consent and describe the action to them.
Indemnification. Our Articles of Incorporation and/or By-laws provide that we will indemnify
each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our By-laws permit us to
purchase insurance on behalf of our directors, officers, employees and agents against liabilities
that they may incur in those capacities, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify them
against such liabilities.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Currently incorporated in the State of Florida, the Registrant is subject to the Florida
Business Corporation Act (the FBCA). Section 607.0831 of the FBCA provides that a
director is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for
any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy unless
(1) the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and (2) the
directors breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes (a) a violation of the
criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, (b) a transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly, (c) a
circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section 607.0834 are applicable, (d) in a
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the
right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation, or willful
misconduct, or (e) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or a
shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious
purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or
property. A judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any criminal proceeding for
a violation of the criminal law estops that director from contesting the fact that his or her
breach, or failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law; but does not estop the
director from establishing that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, a corporation has power to indemnify any person who was or
is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of the corporation), by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall
not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful.
In addition, under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, a corporation has the power to indemnify any
person, who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of
II-1
the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses and
amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated
expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such
indemnification shall be authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that
no indemnification shall be made under this subsection in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the
court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which such court shall deem proper.
Under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
pursuant to Section 607.0850 of the FBCA are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or
further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office. However, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on
behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication
establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated and constitute: (a) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer,
employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (b) a
transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal
benefit; (c) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the above liability provisions
of Section 607.0834 are applicable; or (d) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best
interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.
Section 607.0850 also provides that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him or her in any
such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section 607.0850.
The Registrants Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the Registrant
shall indemnify any director or former director to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
Registrants Second Amended and Restated By-laws provide that a director or officer may be paid
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by
the Registrant of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay all amounts
so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to
indemnification. The Registrants Second Amended and Restated By-laws also permit the Registrant to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Registrants directors, officers, employees and
agents against liabilities that they may incur in those capacities, whether or not the Registrant
would have the power to indemnify them against such liabilities.
The Registrant has obtained primary and excess insurance policies insuring the directors and
officers of the Registrant and its subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their
capacity as directors and officers. Under such policies, the insurer, on behalf of the Registrant,
may also pay amounts for which the Registrant has granted indemnification to the directors or
officers. In addition, the Registrant has individual indemnification agreements with its directors.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of
the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration
Fee table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is
contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-3
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been, settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the
information omitted from the form prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities as that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-4

Exhibit 5.1
OPINION OF GREENBERG TRAURIG, P.A.
April 13, 2007
Mastec, Inc.
800 Douglas Road, 12th Floor
Coral Gables, Florida 33134
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Mastec, Inc., a Florida corporation (the Company) in
connection with the Companys Form S-3 filed on the date hereof (the Registration
Statement) by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act).
This Registration Statement relates to the public offering (the Offering) of 200,000
shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the Shares) to be sold
by the selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement (the Selling Shareholder).
In connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and this opinion letter, we
have examined, considered and relied upon the following documents (collectively, the Documents):
(1) the Companys Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Florida, (2) the Companys Restated Bylaws, (3) resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Company, and (4) such other documents and matters of law as we have considered
necessary or appropriate for the expression of the opinions contained herein.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed without investigation the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all Documents submitted to us as originals,
the conformity to authentic original documents of all Documents submitted to us as copies, and the
veracity of the Documents. As to questions of fact material to the opinions hereinafter expressed,
we have relied upon the Documents.
Based solely upon, and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion
that the Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to the Registration Statement have
been duly authorized and are fully paid and nonassessable.
Our opinion expressed above is limited to the Florida Business Corporation Act. Our opinion is
rendered only with respect to the laws, and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder, which are
currently in effect.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
and to the reference to us under the caption Legal Matters in the prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the
category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Very truly yours,
GREENBERG TRAURIG, P.A.
