Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
This Form 8-K/A Amendment No. 2 amends the Form 8-K filed by Capital Growth Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) on November 25, 2008 (the “Original 8-K”), announcing the completion of the Financial Closing phase of its acquisition of Vanco Direct USA, LLC (“Vanco Direct”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Growth Acquisition, Inc. (“CGAI”).
On November 20, 2008, the Company and CGAI completed the Financial Closing phase of its acquisition of all of the outstanding membership interests of Vanco Direct (the “Interests”). The certificate for the Interests was placed in escrow to be transferred to CGAI upon the date of transfer of ownership of the Interests to CGAI (the “Final Closing”).
The Final Closing was to occur upon the approval by the FCC and the state regulatory commissions (in charge of state licensure for Vanco Direct telecommunications operations) of the change in beneficial ownership of Vanco Direct to the Company (“Regulatory Approvals”). Effective April 14, 2009, the Company has received all the state and federal regulatory approvals deemed necessary to finalize the technical closing of the acquisition and the certificate for the Interests was released from escrow. In conjunction with the regulatory approval, there will also be an official name change of Vanco Direct to Global Capacity Direct, LLC.
Item 9.01 | Exhibits. |
