This Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by MasTec, Inc. ("MasTec") on April 26, 2002, solely for the purpose of changing the word "replacing" in reference to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") to "dismissing," pursuant to the requirements of Item 304(a)(i) of Regulation S-K. Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. The Audit Committee of MasTec is responsible for reviewing and engaging the independent auditors for MasTec. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy to review the independent auditor selection periodically. On April 19, 2002, the Audit Committee determined to engage Ernst & Young LLP as MasTec's independent auditors for the 2002 calendar year, dismissing PwC. During MasTec's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent period from January 1, 2002 through April 19, 2002, there were no disagreements between MasTec and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to PwC's satisfaction, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on MasTec's financial statements for such period. None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during MasTec's two most recent years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, or during the subsequent period from January 1, 2002 through April 19, 2002. The audit reports issued by PwC on the consolidated financial statements of MasTec as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. MasTec provided PwC with a copy of the foregoing statements concerning PwC and a letter from PwC confirming its agreement with these statements is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report. During MasTec's two most recent years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through April 19, 2002, MasTec did not consult with Ernst & Young with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction or regarding any of the other matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K. Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits (c) Exhibits. 16.1 Letter dated June 10, 2002 from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding the change in certifying accountant.
