Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On October 31, 2020, pursuant to the previously-announced Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 9, 2019 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), among AT&T Corp., AT&T International Holdings, LLC and SBC Telecom, Inc. (collectively, the “Sellers”), Liberty Latin America Ltd. (“Liberty Latin America” or “LLA”) and Liberty Latin America’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Communications PR Holding LP (f/k/a Leo Cable LP) (the “Buyer”), Liberty Latin America completed its acquisition of AT&T’s wireless and wireline operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (the “Acquisition Assets”). The Acquisition Assets provide consumer mobile and B2B services in Puerto Rico and mobile services in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, LLA acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Acquisition”) of Beach Holding Corporation, which owns the Acquisition Assets through its wholly-owned subsidiaries AT&T Mobility Puerto Rico Inc. and AT&T Mobility USVI Inc. The Acquisition was structured as an all-cash transaction based on an unadjusted purchase price of $1.95 billion, with an adjusted purchase price of approximately $1.9 billion paid at closing, subject to post-closing adjustment as provided in Stock Purchase Agreement.
The above description of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to LLA's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 15, 2019, and is incorporated herein by reference. Such description is not intended to provide any other information about Liberty Latin America, the Buyer, the Sellers or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Stock Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each party to the other for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between them that differs from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Liberty Latin America, the Buyer, the Sellers or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may have changed after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Liberty Latin America or AT&T or any of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, investors should not read the representations and warranties in the Stock Purchase Agreement in isolation, but only in conjunction with the other information about Liberty Latin America, AT&T and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates that is included in reports, statements and other filings made by Liberty Latin America and AT&T with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available at no charge at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
