On March 16, 2012, Zayo Group, LLC (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jason Schreiber and Merle Ross to acquire 100 percent of the equity interest in Control Room Technologies, LLC, Allegan Fiber Communications, LLC and Lansing Fiber Communications (collectively “AriaLink”). The purchase price, which will be funded with cash on hand, is $18.0 million, subject to certain adjustments at closing and post-closing. The transaction, which is subject to customary approvals, is expected to close by May 31, 2012.
The acquisition adds 930 new route miles to Zayo’s national footprint, including 400 miles of dense metro networks in Lansing and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Arialink’s network will be interconnected with Zayo’s existing network, enabling end-to-end bandwidth infrastructure services between Zayo’s existing 45,000 mile national network and Arialink’s extensive network in Michigan.
The Company issued a press release on March 21, 2012 announcing the entrance into this Agreement. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this filing on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01.
