investments in common stock and other interests in business organizations,
domestic or foreign, with the principal objective of appreciation of capital
invested. Information is provided in Schedule B (which is incorporated herein by
reference) with respect to each of the Reporting Persons other than PiRod.
The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a "group" for the
purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act as a result of such Reporting Persons
being persons associated with Bain Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Bain
Capital"), which is a management company. The Reporting Persons expressly
disclaim that they have agreed to act as a group other than as described in this
statement.
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the
best knowledge of such persons, any of the persons named in Schedule A and
Schedule B to this statement, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the
best knowledge of such persons, any of the persons named in Schedule A and

administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which any person

violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
The Reporting Persons believe that all persons named in Schedule A and
Schedule B to this statement are citizens of the United States.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
As more fully described in Item 4 hereof, PiRod and the Trust (which,
as of December 22, 1998 was the owner of 29,348,051 shares of Common Stock) have
entered into the Voting Agreement and Rohn, the Funds, PH, Inc. and the Trust
have entered into the Stockholders Agreement. The transactions contemplated by
the Voting Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement prior to the Effective Date
(as defined in Item 4) are not expected to require the expenditure of any funds.
The Trust entered into the Voting Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement to
induce PiRod to enter into the Merger Agreement (as defined in Item 4).
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
On December 22, 1998, Rohn and PiRod entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger (the "Merger")
of PiRod with and into Rohn, whereupon the existence of PiRod will cease and
Rohn will continue as the surviving corporation.
Page 15 of 29
<PAGE>
At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") and subject
to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with
respect to which an election to receive $3.78 in cash (the "Cash Consideration")
has been made shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash
Consideration. All such shares of Common Stock converted according to the
preceding sentence will automatically be canceled and retired and will cease to
exist. At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which an election to
receive the Cash Consideration has not been made will be retained by the holder
of such Common Stock. The Cash Consideration will be financed by Rohn from
third party financing sources.
At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common
stock of PiRod will be converted into a share of Common Stock based on a
conversion ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement. The warrants and options to
acquire shares of PiRod common stock will be similarly converted into warrants
and options to acquire Common Stock. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the
stockholders of PiRod will be issued an aggregate of 7,648,106 shares of Common
Stock.
Because the approval of Rohn's stockholders is required by applicable
law in order to consummate the Merger, Rohn will submit the Merger to its
stockholders for approval. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Trust has
agreed to vote all of the shares of Common Stock owned by it on December 22,
1998, together with any additional shares of Common Stock with the Trust may
thereafter acquire (the "Shares"), in favor of Merger and approval and adoption
of the Merger Agreement.
The obligations of the parties to the Merger Agreement to effect the
Merger are subject to certain conditions, and prior to the Effective Time, PiRod
or Rohn may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, in each
case as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
At the Effective Time, (i) the certificate of incorporation of Rohn,
as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain the
certificate of incorporation of Rohn after the Effective Time and (ii) the By-
Laws of Rohn, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
amended and restated in their entirety in the form set forth as Exhibit 1.4.2 to
the Merger Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement,
the Trust and PiRod entered into the Voting Agreement. If the Merger Agreement
is terminated in accordance with its terms (other than as described in the next
sentence), the covenants and agreements contained in the Voting Agreement will
also terminate at such time. If the Merger Agreement is terminated by Rohn as a
result of its receipt of a bona fide written proposal by a third party to
acquire, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power of the equity
interest or of the assets of Rohn (a "Takeover Proposal") and the board of
directors of Rohn determines in its good faith judgment such Takeover Proposal
to be more favorable to Rohn's stockholders from a financial point of view and
to be reasonably capable of being completed, the Voting Agreement shall not
terminate until the 60th day following the date upon which the notice of such
proposal was provided by Rohn to PiRod pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement. Subject to the foregoing and to certain exceptions and conditions,
the Trust has agreed pursuant to the Voting Agreement to vote, and has granted
to PiRod a irrevocable proxy to vote, the Shares in favor of the Merger and
approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and against certain other
enumerated related actions or agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions
of the Voting Agreement, the Trust has also agreed, among other things, to
restrictions upon the transfer of the Shares, to waive any appraisal rights it
may be entitled to with
Page 16 of 29
<PAGE>
respect to the Merger, to refrain from soliciting any other Takeover Proposal
and to take or refrain from taking certain other actions set forth in the Voting
Agreement.
Also concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger
Agreement, Rohn, the Trust, PH, Inc. and the Funds entered into the Stockholders
Agreement. The covenants and agreements which relate to actions of the parties
at and after the Effective Time are only effective upon the consummation of the
Merger, and if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms,
the Stockholders Agreement will also terminate at such time. The Stockholders
Agreement provides that the board of directors of Rohn (the "Board of
Directors") shall consist of ten directors and that no action shall be taken by
any of the parties thereto to classify the Board of Directors. The Stockholders
Agreement further provides that, as of the Effective Time, the Trust shall have
the right to designate four individuals to the Board of Directors and the Funds
(taken together) shall have the right to designate two individuals to serve on
the Board of Directors. As of the Effective Time, the remaining directors shall
consist of Brian Pemberton and Myron Noble (the "Management Representatives")
and two independent directors jointly chosen by the Funds and the Trust (the
"Independent Directors"). After the Effective Time and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, each of (a) the Funds
(taken together) and (b) the Trust will be entitled to (1) four designees to
serve on the Board of Directors so long as it continues to beneficially own at
least 20% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, (2) three designees to
serve on the Board of Directors so long as it continues to beneficially own less
20% but at least 15% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, (3) two
designees to serve on the Board of Directors so long as it continues to
beneficially own less than 15% but at least 10% of the then-outstanding shares
of Common Stock and (4) one designee to serve on the Board of Directors so long
as it continues to beneficially own less than 10% but at least 5% of the then-
outstanding shares of Common Stock. After the Effective Time, each Management
Representative shall continue to be nominated for election to the Board of
Directors so long as such Management Representative continues to hold the
executive position with Rohn held by such Management Representative immediately
after the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, the balance of the
directors shall be independent directors. The covenants and agreements
described in the preceding sentences terminate at such time as either the Funds
(taken together) or the Trust is the beneficial owner of less than 5% of the
then-outstanding shares of Common Stock.
In addition to the covenants and agreements described in the preceding
paragraph, the Stockholders Agreement provides that no stockholder of Rohn who
is a party to the Stockholders Agreement shall transfer (other than specified
types of transfers enumerated therein) its shares prior to the first anniversary
of the Effective Time unless the Trust and the Funds shall have previously
consented in writing to such transfer. The Stockholders Agreement also grants
to certain of the stockholders of Rohn registration rights and "tag along"
rights under certain circumstances.
The preceding summaries of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement,
the Voting Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement are not intended to be
complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of
such agreements, copies of which are incorporated by reference as Exhibits II,
III and IV hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
Other than as described in this statement, none of the Reporting
Persons nor, to the knowledge of such persons, any of the persons named on
Schedule A or Schedule B to this statement presently has any plans or proposals
that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs
(a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Prior to December 22, 1998, none of the Reporting Parties owned any
shares of Common Stock.
However, as of December 22, 1998, under the definition of "beneficial
ownership" as set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act, PiRod may be
deemed to beneficially own pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Shares, which,
as of December 22, 1998, totalled 29,348,051 and constituted approximately 56%
of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on the number of
shares of Common Stock represented to be issued and outstanding as of December
22, 1998 by Rohn in the Merger Agreement). In addition, pursuant to Rule 13d-
5(b)(1) promulgated under the Act, each of the parties to the Stockholders
Agreement may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all of the shares of
Common Stock held by each of the parties to the Stockholders Agreement at the
Effective Time, which, as of December 22, 1998, totalled 29,348,051 and
constituted approximately 56% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
The Funds. The majority (approximately 55%) of the outstanding voting
common stock of PiRod is beneficially owned by the Funds. By virtue of this
beneficial ownership, the Funds may be deemed to have the shared power to vote
the Shares pursuant to the Voting Agreement. BCF-V is the beneficial owner of
approximately 11.3% of the outstanding voting common stock of PiRod, BCF-V-B is
the beneficial owner of approximately 29.7% of the outstanding voting common
stock of PiRod, BCIP is the beneficial owner of approximately 4.6% of the
outstanding voting common stock of PiRod, BCIPT is the beneficial owner of
approximately 3.1% of the outstanding voting common stock of PiRod, BCVMF is the
beneficial owner of approximately 3.6% of the outstanding voting common stock of
PiRod, and BCM is the beneficial owner of approximately 2.6% of the outstanding
voting common stock of PiRod.
Bain Capital Partners V, L.P. BCP, as the sole general partner of
BCF-V and BCF-V-B, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote all of the
Shares that BCF-V and BCF-V-B may be deemed to beneficially own.
Bain Capital V Mezzanine Partners, L.P. BCVMP, as the sole general
partner of BCVMF and BCM, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote all of
the Shares that BCVMF and BCM may be deemed to beneficially own.
Bain Capital Investors V, Inc. BCI, as the sole general partner of
BCP and BCVMP, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote all of the Shares
that BCP and BCVMP may be deemed to beneficially own.
W. Mitt Romney. Mr. Romney, as the sole stockholder of BCI, may be
deemed to have the shared power to vote all of the Shares that BCI may be deemed
to beneficially own. In addition, Mr. Romney serves as a member of the
Management Committee of BCIP and BCIPT and, in such capacity, may be deemed to
have the shared power to vote all of the Shares that BCIP and BCIPT may be
deemed to beneficially own.
Joshua Bekenstein. Mr. Bekenstein, as a member of the Management
Committee of BCIP and BCIPT, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote all
of the Shares that BCIP and BCIPT may be deemed to beneficially own.
Neither the filing of this statement nor any of its contents shall be
deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial
owner of any Common Stock
Page 18 of 29
<PAGE>
referred to in this statement for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or
for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Except as otherwise set forth in this statement (and the agreements
referenced herein), to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise)
exist among the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any other
person with respect to any securities of Rohn, including but not limited to
transfer or voting of any of the securities of Rohn, finder's fees, joint
ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees or profits,
divisions of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, or a
pledge or contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting
power over the securities of Rohn.
