ITEM 3.  BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP.
         --------------------------

         As previously reported, on November 15, 2002, SpectraSite Holdings,
Inc. (the "Company") filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, Raleigh Division (the "Bankruptcy Court") to
implement a prenegotiated financial restructuring pursuant to the Company's Plan
of Reorganization (the "Plan") and on January 28, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court
entered an order confirming the Plan. None of the Company's direct or indirect
subsidiaries were parties to the chapter 11 case or any related bankruptcy,
reorganization or liquidation proceedings.

         The Plan became effective on February 10, 2003 (the "Effective Date")
at which time, pursuant to the Plan, the Company: (a) filed its Third Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware; (b) entered into
employment agreements with Stephen H. Clark, its chief executive officer, David
P. Tomick, its chief financial officer and Timothy G. Biltz, its chief operating
officer; (c) began issuing (i) 23.75 million shares of common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of which 162,915 shares are subject to
delayed delivery and (ii) warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of Common
Stock pursuant to a Warrant Agreement between the Company and EquiServe Trust
Company, N.A., as warrant agent; (d) entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement between the Company and certain holders of its Common Stock; and (e)
cancelled all the Company's previously outstanding public debt and equity
securities.

         In addition, on the Effective Date the Company's Second Amended and
Restated By-Laws and its 2003 Equity Incentive Plan became effective.

         A copy of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
Second Amended and Restated By-laws, the employment agreements, the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Warrant Agreement, the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and a
press release issued by the Company announcing the Effective Date and its
related events are attached to this report as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, 10.1, 10.2,
10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 99.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.

         Information as to the assets and liabilities of the Company were
provided in the Proposed Disclosure Statement filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated November 19, 2002 and is
incorporated herein by reference.

         The forecasted financial results and other forward-looking statements
contained in the Proposed Disclosure Statement are based on estimates and
assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, though considered reasonable by
the Company, are subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and many
of which are beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the forecasted results or such other forward-looking statements
will be realized. Moreover, it is entirely possible that the actual results
obtained will be significantly different than the forecasted financial
statements contained in the Proposed Disclosure Statement contemplate.
