ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

On January 31, 2006 (the "Closing Date"), MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation ("MasTec") issued 637,214 shares of unregistered common stock in connection with the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Digital Satellite Services, Inc. ("DSSI"). The amount of shares issued in connection with the DSSI acquisition was determined by dividing $7.5 million by the closing sales price for the MasTec common shares on the New York Stock Exchange two business days preceding the Closing Date rounded up to the nearest whole number. MasTec issued these shares of its common stock in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. MasTec has agreed to use its best efforts to register for resale the MasTec common stock that is part of the purchase price within 120 days after the Closing Date.
