An Exciting New Chapter

We’re still on track to close our merger with Level 3 Communications this quarter!

The merger marks a new chapter for both our company and our loyal customers. We are very excited to see what this powerful combination will bring to market as a combined entity. Our two businesses, each with a differentiated but complementary market position, are well positioned to exceed the global communications requirements of enterprise customers by providing an industry-leading product portfolio of end-to-end data, cloud, video, and voice solutions.

The combined entity will bring enormous value to customers of both companies with:

• Experience in diverse technology and industry sectors
• Operational expertise
• A global investment approach
• A reputation for adding value and competitive advantages for its customers

The merger will allow the new Level 3 to capitalize on both companies’ market-leading positions, pursue growth opportunities, and aggressively respond to evolving market trends and customer needs.

We view our reputation for world-class customer support as well as our deep metro fiber footprint as our most highly valued assets. Our commitment to providing customers with exceptional service at every stage of the relationship will remain firm after the acquisition.

We remain steadfast in our strategy to pursue strategic, cutting-edge growth opportunities, which will enable the new company to effectively address the needs of a growing global customer base.
