ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
ITEM 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
ITEM 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On December 16, 2008 (the Closing Date), MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation
(MasTec), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MasTec North America, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the Buyer), consummated its acquisition (the Acquisition) of all
of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the Shares) of Wanzek
Construction, Inc., a North Dakota corporation (Wanzek), pursuant to that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2008 (the Original Purchase Agreement), by and
among the Buyer, MasTec, Wanzek and the shareholders of Wanzek (the Sellers), as amended
by that certain First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement (the First Amendment), dated
as of December 2, 2008, and that certain Second Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of
December 16, 2008 (the Second Amendment, and, together with the Original Purchase
Agreement and the First Amendment, the Purchase Agreement).
On the Closing Date, the Buyer paid to the Sellers the purchase price for the Shares, composed
of: (i) $50 million in cash; (ii) 7.5 million newly-issued shares (the Consideration
Shares) of MasTec common stock (Common Stock); (iii) 8% convertible notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $55 million, due December 2013 with interest payments payable in
April, August, and December of each year, commencing in April 2009 (the Convertible
Notes); (iv) the assumption of approximately $15 million of Wanzeks debt; and (v) a two-year
earn-out equal to 50% of Wanzeks EBITDA in excess of $40 million per year.
The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock (any such shares,
Conversion Shares), at the holders election, at a conversion price of $12 per share;
provided, however, that in no event may the holder convert all or any portion of the Convertible
Note if, subsequent to such conversion, the holder, including its affiliates, would beneficially
own 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. After one year, and subject
to the holders conversion right and the consent of the Agent and Required Lenders under, and as defined in, MasTecs credit facility, MasTec may redeem the Convertible Notes by payment of the
principal balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the average of the closing prices of the
Common Stock during any thirty day period is equal to or greater than $16. The Convertible Notes
contain customary events of default, which, if uncured or not subject to cure, allow the holder to
declare immediately due and payable the entirety of the outstanding principal and accrued but
unpaid interest.
Additionally, MasTec has entered into a registration rights agreement (the Registration
Rights Agreement) with the Sellers in respect of the Consideration Shares and the Conversion
Shares. If, after the date that is six months from the Closing Date, MasTec proposes to register
any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act), in connection with a primary underwritten public offering of its securities solely for
cash, then the Sellers may elect to require MasTec to include in such offering, subject to certain
restrictions, the Consideration Shares and Conversion Shares.
2
In connection with the Acquisition, MasTec entered into a letter amendment (the Letter
Amendment) to its credit facility, which modifies the applicable margin interest rate and
facility fee range. As modified, interest accrues at variable rates based, at MasTecs option, on
the agent
banks base rate (as defined in the credit facility) plus a margin of between 1.25% and 1.75%,
or at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 2.00% and 3.00%, depending on certain financial
thresholds. Under the Letter Amendment, the unused facility fee ranges from 0.375% to 0.500% based
on usage.
The foregoing description of the Original Purchase Agreement, the First Amendment and the
Second Amendment is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of the Original Purchase Agreement, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, of which the
Original Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment have been previously filed with the SEC on

Form 8-K, and each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On the Closing Date, the Consideration Shares and the Convertible Notes, including the
Conversion Shares (each of the foregoing, together, the Securities), were issued in
reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506
of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Securities have not been registered under the Act and

effect to such Conversion Notice, the Holder will not beneficially own (as determined in accordance
with this Section 2.i) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% or more of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the Companys most recent Form 10-Q or Form

previous sentence, then all of the parties shall be obligated to Close on the Ninetieth Day
and any party which has not carried out its obligations on such date shall be in breach of
this Agreement. By agreement of the parties the Closing may take place by delivery of this
Agreement and the other documents to be delivered at the Closing by facsimile or other
electronic transmission. Subject to the provisions of ARTICLE 10, failure to consummate the
purchase and sale provided for in this Agreement on the date and time and at the place
determined pursuant to this Section 3.1 will not result in the termination of this Agreement
and will not relieve any party of any obligation under this Agreement. Upon consummation,
for financial accounting purposes the Closing will be deemed and treated consummated and
shall be given effect as though consummated and occurred on, as of and from 11:59 p.m. Coral
Gables, Florida time on November 30, 2008 (the Effective Closing Date), and from the

make changes as reasonably requested by the Buyer, and shall not file such Tax
Returns without Buyers consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. The Sellers shall pay all Taxes required to be paid with respect to such
Tax Returns less (i) the Actual Tax Obligations included in the Final Closing
Adjustment and (ii) the Taxes for the portion of any Straddle Period commencing
after the Effective Closing Date and ending on the Closing Date (other than Taxes

the payment of such Taxes pursuant to Section 11.5(a) (the Tax Indemnified
Party) receives notice of any deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit,
examination, suit, dispute or other claim (a Tax Claim) with respect to such
Taxes, the Tax Indemnified Party will notify (and, in any event, within thirty
(30) days of the receipt of notice of any such Tax Claim) the Tax Indemnifying
Party in writing of such Tax Claim, but the failure to so notify the Tax
Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Tax Indemnifying Party of any Liability it
may have to the Tax Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Tax Indemnifying
Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby.
(c) With respect to any Tax Claim, the Tax Indemnifying Party may assume and
control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim and, without
limiting the foregoing, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with any applicable governmental Persons
with respect thereto, and may, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund
where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any
permissible manner; provided, however, that the Tax Indemnifying Party will
consult with the Tax Indemnified Party in the negotiation and settlement of any
Tax Claim and the Tax Indemnifying Party will not, without the written consent of
the Tax Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed,
conditioned or withheld, settle or compromise any Tax Claim in any manner if such
settlement or compromise would have the effect of increasing the Taxes of the Tax
Indemnified Party (Indemnified Party Tax Increase); provided, that, to the
extent that a Tax Claim relates to a Straddle Period, the Sellers Representative
and the Buyer will jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any
such Tax Claim.

in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation will include the retention and
(upon the Tax Indemnifying Partys request) the provision to the Tax Indemnifying
Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim,
and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to
testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.

of the Company for a Straddle Period without the other Partys or Parties written
consent which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld.

(reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and Guarantor) of counsel (reasonably acceptable to the
Buyer and Guarantor), such restrictions are no longer required in order to assure compliance

periods under the relevant Tax Legal Requirement) (or in the case of such
Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the
immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Effective
Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the

the option of Buyer). Any amount satisfied in MasTec Shares shall be valued at the average

amount satisfied by reduction of the principal amount of either Convertible Note, shall be
satisfied by a dollar for dollar reduction to the principal amount of such note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and for purposes of clarity, to the extent any Final Closing
Adjustment is owed by Sellers to Buyer, such Final Closing Adjustment may only be satisfied
in cash in accordance with Section 2.5(f).

with this Section 12.5.
27. Section 12.17 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

RECITALS
A. As a condition to the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as October 4, 2008, as
subsequently amended, among the Company, as guarantor, MasTec North America, Inc., a Florida
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as buyer, and the Sellers (the Stock
Purchase Agreement), the parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement setting forth the
registration rights associated with all of the shares of the Companys Common Stock, par value
$.10 per share (the Common Stock) which the Sellers may acquire pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement (the Shares), including the MasTec Shares (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement)
and upon conversion of the Convertible Note (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement).
THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
AGREEMENT
1. Certain Definitions.
(a) The term Act means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(b) The term Form S-3 means such form under the Act as in effect on the date hereof or any
successor registration form under the Act subsequently adopted by the SEC.
(d) The term 1934 Act means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(f) The term register, registered, and registration refer to a registration effected by
preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Act, and
the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document.
(g) The term SEC means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(i) The term Shares has the meaning set forth in Recital A.
2
2. Registration Rights.
2.1 Company Registration. If, after the date that is six months from the date hereof,
the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Act in connection with a primary
underwritten public offering of its securities solely for cash (a Company Underwritten Public
Offering), other than registrations on Form S-8 or S-4 (or any successor forms) or registrations
in connection with stock purchase plans, then the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the
Sellers Representative written notice (a Company Notice) of such offering. Upon the written
request of the Sellers Representative given within ten (10) days after mailing of such Company
Notice in accordance with Section 3.5, the Company shall take whatever steps are necessary, subject
to the provisions of Section 2.3, to include in such Company Underwritten Public Offering all of
the Shares that each such Seller has requested to be registered. The Sellers acknowledge and agree
that in order to facilitate any such Company Underwritten Public Offering, the Company may, at its
sole option, effect the registration of a Form S-3, or other applicable form, pursuant to Rule 415
under the Act prior to the time that it contemplates doing a Company Underwritten Public Offering.
In such case, the Sellers agree not to resell any Shares pursuant to such Form S-3 until the time
the Sellers Representative receives a Company Notice pursuant to this Section 2, and then, only
pursuant to the plan of distribution of the Company Underwritten Public Offering and otherwise in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.
2.2 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Shares of any selling
Seller that such Seller shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself and the
Shares held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Sellers
Shares and include the Shares in the Company Underwritten Public Offering.
2.3 Underwriting Requirements. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Shares of any
selling Seller that such Seller shall accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between
the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company; provided that any representation or
warranty by any Seller shall be several and not joint with the Company or any other Seller and
shall only relate to the status of such Seller, the ownership of such Seller of the Shares which
such Seller desires to sell pursuant to the underwriting agreement and any information included in
the registration statement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
by such Seller expressly for use in connection with such registration and the indemnity obligations
of any Seller shall be several and not joint with the Company or any other Seller and shall only
relate to a breach of such Sellers representations and warranties. If the total amount of
securities, including Shares to be included in such offering pursuant to Section 2.1, exceeds the
maximum amount of securities that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company, then the Company shall only be required to
include in the offering such number of Shares, if any, which the underwriters determine in their
sole discretion, will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the Shares so included to be
apportioned pro rata among the Sellers according to the total amount of securities entitled to be
included therein owned by each Sellers or in such other proportions if mutually agreed to by such
Sellers).
2
2.4 Market Stand-Off Agreement. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Shares
of any selling Seller that such Seller agree that, during the period of duration specified by the
Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which period shall be
the same period that such underwriter requires of the Companys directors and executive officers,
it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly
sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any
option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company held by it at
any time during such period (including pursuant to a sale under Rule 144 under the Act, except for
any transfer to beneficiaries of any Seller that is a trust), except Common Stock included in such
registration; provided, however, that:
(a) all executive officers and directors of the Company, enter into similar agreements and
(b) any discretionary waiver or termination of the market stand-off period by the Company or
the representatives of the underwriters shall apply to all persons subject to such market stand-off
agreement on a pro rata basis.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions
with respect to the Shares of the Sellers until the end of such period.
2.5 Delay of Registration. No Seller shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy
that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2;
provided that this Section 2.5 shall not abrogate any other rights or remedies of any such
Seller hereunder.
2.6 Indemnification. In the event any Shares are included in a registration statement
under this Section 2:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Seller,
any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Seller and each person, if any, who controls such
Seller or such Sellers securities or such underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934
Act, and each officer, director, agent, employee and partner of the foregoing against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a Violation): (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration
statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto or any other document prepared by the Company incident to such
registration, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule
or regulation promulgated under the Act, or the 1934 Act or any state securities law; and the
Company will pay to each such indemnified person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall
the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the
extent that it solely arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with information furnished in writing expressly for use in connection with such
registration by such Seller, underwriter or controlling person.
3
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Seller will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement,
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter and
any controlling person of any such underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) solely arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Seller expressly
for use in connection with such registration, and each such Seller will pay to each such
indemnified party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.6(b) shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.6 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an
indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel
in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of receipt of notice of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend
such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 2.6, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not
relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 2.6. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any claim or litigation, shall, except with
the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in
question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably
required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
4
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party
or by the indemnified party and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Sellers under this Section 2.6 shall survive the
completion of any offering of Shares in a registration statement under this Section 2, and
otherwise.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent set forth herein with respect to
indemnification of the Company to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an
underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the
underwriting agreement shall control.
2.7 Expenses of Registrations. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses, other
than underwriting discounts, brokers commissions and the like, incurred in connection with any
registration, filing or qualification pursuant to this Section 2, including (without limitation)
all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or
apportionable thereto, and the fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company.
The Sellers shall be responsible for all underwriting discounts, brokers commissions and the like
with respect to their respective Shares and any other fees and expenses incurred by them or on
their behalf (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of their own counsel and advisors).
2.8 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register
Shares pursuant to this Section 2 may not be assigned; provided however, that each Seller that is a
trust may assign its rights under this Agreement to the beneficiaries of such trust in connection
with the distribution of Shares to such beneficiaries.
2.9 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Seller to request inclusion
in any registration pursuant to Section 2 shall terminate 5 years after the date hereof.
5

3.1 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective

except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company
and the Shareholder Representative.
3.7 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be
unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the
balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
3.8 Entire Agreement; Waiver. This Agreement and the other documents delivered
pursuant hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with
regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and supersede any previous agreement or
understanding between or among the parties with respect to such subjects, including, without
limitation, the Prior Agreement.
6
3.10 Dispute Resolution. If the parties should have a material dispute arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the parties respective rights and duties hereunder, then the

forty-five (45) day period following the delivery of the notice described in Section 3.10(i) above,
appropriate representatives of the various parties will meet and seek to resolve the disputed issue
through negotiation then within thirty (30) days after the period described in Section 3.10(ii)
above, the parties will refer the issue (to the exclusion of a court of law) to final and binding
arbitration in Miami, Florida in accordance with the then existing rules (the Rules) of the
American Arbitration Association (AAA), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof; provided, however, that the law applicable
to any controversy shall be the law of the State of Florida, regardless of principles of conflicts
of laws. In any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) discovery shall be allowed and
governed by the Florida Code of Civil Procedure and (ii) the award or decision shall be rendered by
a majority of the members of a Board of Arbitration consisting of three (3) members with experience
in securities transactions, one of whom shall be appointed by each of the respective parties and
the third of whom shall be the chairman of the panel and be appointed by mutual agreement of said
two party-appointed arbitrators. In the event of failure of said two arbitrators to agree within

third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the Rules.
In the event that either party shall fail to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after
the commencement of the arbitration proceedings, such arbitrator and the third arbitrator shall be
appointed by the AAA in accordance with the Rules. Nothing set forth above shall be interpreted to
prevent the parties from agreeing in writing to submit any dispute to a single arbitrator in lieu
of a three (3) member Board of Arbitration. Upon the selection of the Board of Arbitration (or if
the parties agree otherwise in writing, a single arbitrator), an award or decision shall be
rendered within in more than forty-five (45) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the request by
either party for preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory,
shall not be subject to arbitration and may be adjudicated only by the courts of the State of
Florida or the U.S. District Court in Florida.

receipt of (A) an LC Application with respect to the requested

pursuant to Section 13.17 or otherwise in accordance with this
Agreement, or (y) Agent confirms in writing to Borrowers that Cash
Collateralization of the LC Obligations of such Defaulting Lender is
no longer required by Agent or Issuing Bank, then any Cash
Collateral provided by Borrowers with respect to the LC Obligations
of such Defaulting Lender shall be released.
(f) By deleting Section 3.2.1 of the Loan Agreement in its entirety, and by substituting in
lieu thereof the following new Section 3.2.1:

Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect for Revolver Loans that are

required to), in its discretion, retain any payments or other funds
received by Agent that are to be provided to a Defaulting Lender
hereunder, and may apply such funds to such Lenders defaulted
obligations or readvance the funds to Borrowers in accordance with
this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make
any payment in respect of LC Obligations or to otherwise perform its
obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its

amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was
required and Required Lenders consented, then, in addition to any
other rights and remedies that any Person may have, Agent may, by

no Default or Event of Default exists on the date hereof or will result from the consummation of

Exhibit 99.1
For Immediate Release
MasTec Completes the Acquisition of Wanzek Construction, Inc.
Coral Gables, FL (December 17, 2008) MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced that it has
completed its previously disclosed acquisition of Wanzek Construction, Inc. The final terms
included a payment of $50 million in cash, 7.5 million shares of MasTec common stock, seller
financing through a $55 million convertible note, the assumption of $15 million of Wanzeks debt
and a two year earnout equal to 50% of Wanzeks EBITDA in excess of $40 million per year. The
convertible note matures in December 2013, has an annual coupon rate of 8% and converts into MasTec
stock at a $12 conversion price. The stock initially issued to the seller in the transaction will
be subject to a six month no sale lock-up provision.
The acquisition extends MasTecs presence in the growing alternative energy and infrastructure
construction markets and expands the scope of the Companys recent diversification efforts. In
addition to its focus on wind farm construction, Wanzek also has construction operations in natural
gas processing plants and compressor stations, electrical power generating plants, industrial
processing facilities, roads and bridges and other heavy/civil projects. Wanzek anticipates
calendar year 2008 annual revenue of approximately $400 million, with 2008 EBITDA expected to be
approximately $45 million.
The financial impact of the Wanzek acquisition is included in the Companys recently issued 2009
guidance. MasTecs revenue for 2009 is expected to be between $1.95 and $2.0 billion and earnings
are expected to be between $1.05 and $1.15 per diluted share.
Jose Mas, MasTecs President and CEO noted, Wanzek is an exceptional company and we are excited to
close the transaction and begin joint operations with its highly-skilled management team and
