|
Verizon’s best and final all-cash offer of $38.50 per share is highly attractive and creates significant value for stockholders, reflecting a 37% premium to Frontier’s pre-announcement price and a
significant premium to all other measures of Frontier’s historical stock performance.
|
•
|
Frontier’s highly qualified Strategic Review Committee and Board of Directors led a robust and exhaustive process to evaluate its standalone plan and strategic options.
|
•
|
The Strategic Review Committee and Board unanimously and unequivocally believe the Verizon offer is in the best interests of stockholders and recommends stockholders vote “for” the transaction.
|
• |
Negative cash flows through 2027 and high leverage; additional debt funding required to sustain Frontier’s fiber network build plan, which may not be available at attractive terms
|
• |
Competition from cable and other broadband providers, including FTTH overbuilders, as well as increased competition from converged / bundled wireline and wireless offerings
|
• |
Exposure to declining legacy services facing secular headwinds
|
• |
Plan assumes status quo macroeconomic environment
