PART II

Price Range of Common Stock

Our common stock is listed and traded on the NYSE under the symbol "CCI." The following table sets forth for the calendar periods indicated the high and low sales prices per share of our common stock as reported by the NYSE.

As of February 21, 2018, there were approximately 180 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividend Policy

We operate as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To remain qualified and be taxed as a REIT, we will generally be required to annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income after the utilization of any available NOLs (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). See also "Item 7. MD&A—General Overview—Common Stock Dividend," "Item 1. Business—Company Developments, REIT Status and Industry Update—REIT Status," "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and notes 11 and 12 to our consolidated financial statements.

In aggregate, we paid approximately $1.2 billion in common stock dividends in 2016. During each of the first three quarters of 2016, we paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.885 per share, totaling approximately $896.6 million. In October 2016, we increased our quarterly dividend, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016, from a quarterly amount of $0.885 per share to a quarterly amount of $0.95 per share. As such, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.95 per share, or an annualized amount of $3.80 per share, in October 2016, which represented an increase of 7% from the quarterly dividend declared during each of the first three quarters of 2016.

In aggregate, we paid approximately $1.5 billion in common stock dividends in 2017. During each of the first three quarters of 2017, we paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.95 per share, totaling approximately $1.1 billion. In October 2017, we increased our quarterly dividend, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, from a quarterly amount of $0.95 per share to a quarterly amount of $1.05 per share. As such, we declared a quarterly dividend of $1.05 per share, or an annualized amount of $4.20 per share, in October 2017, which represented an increase of 11% from the quarterly dividend declared during each of the first three quarters of 2017. We currently expect such dividends to result in aggregate cash payments of at least $1.7 billion during the next 12 months.

Over time, we expect to increase our dividend per share generally commensurate with our realized growth in cash flows. The declaration amount and payment of any future dividends, however, are subject to the determination and approval of our board of directors based on then-current or anticipated future conditions, including our earnings, net cash provided by operating activities, capital requirements, financial condition, our relative market capitalization, our existing NOLs, or other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by the terms of our debt instruments and our 6.875% Convertible Preferred Stock under certain circumstances. See "Item 7. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities—Common Stock" and "Item 1A. Risk Factors."
