SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
DATED AUGUST 11, 1999
------------------------
This document is a supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated
August 11, 1999, which was recently mailed to stockholders of Westower
Corporation in connection with the special meeting of stockholders scheduled for
September 2, 1999 to consider the proposed merger of Westower with a subsidiary
of SpectraSite Holdings, Inc.
On August 19, 1999, the Board of Directors of Westower consented to
SpectraSite's amendment of its charter prior to the merger to provide for an
increase in the authorized shares of common stock of SpectraSite to 300,000,000
shares. Previously, the merger agreement provided that the authorized shares of
common stock of SpectraSite at the time of the merger would be 120,000,000
shares. The additional shares of authorized common stock would only be issued
when authorized by the Board of Directors of SpectraSite. The increased number
of shares is intended to give the Board of Directors of SpectraSite additional
flexibility to accomplish capital raising or other transactions utilizing shares
of SpectraSite common stock. See pages 72-77 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
for a complete description of the capital stock of SpectraSite.
The date of this Supplement is August 20, 1999.
