Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Represents shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of certain Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") previously granted to the reporting person. Such withholding is exempt from Section 16(b) pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e).
F2 Each RSU was issued pursuant to the Crown Castle Inc. ("Company") 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan and represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock, and vesting (i.e., forfeiture restriction termination) generally is subject to (i) the reporting person remaining an employee or director of the Company or its affiliates and (ii) the other criteria described in the footnote below.
F3 These Time RSUs were previously granted on February 26, 2025. 33 1/3% of the original grant amount of these Time RSUs vest on February 19 of each of 2026, 2027 and 2028.
