Merger Agreement [Abstract] |
Merger Agreement | (2) Merger Agreement: On September 4, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Verizon Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Verizon”), and France Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by law) of specified conditions, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the Board, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement) shall be converted into the right to receive $38.50 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, other than as set forth below, each outstanding RSU and PSU will vest and be canceled and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such award (in the case of PSUs, based on attainment of all applicable performance goals at the greater of target and actual level of performance measured at the Effective Time) multiplied by the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, a portion of the outstanding RSUs and PSUs granted following the date of the Merger Agreement (determined by proration of any such grant based on the time remaining between the Effective Time and the end of the relevant vesting period) shall be automatically converted into a number of unvested restricted stock units of Verizon (“Verizon RSUs”) equal to the number of such RSUs and PSUs multiplied by an exchange ratio equal to the Merger Consideration divided by the five day volume weighted average price of Verizon common stock ending with the second complete trading day immediately prior to the closing date. Such conversion of PSUs shall be based on attainment of all applicable performance goals at the greater of target and actual level of performance measured at the Effective Time. The Verizon RSUs shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the RSUs and PSUs of the Company (including time-based vesting conditions but excluding performance-based vesting conditions) prior to the Effective Time. The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things: (i) the approval of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented by the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote thereon (the “Company Stockholder Approval”); (ii) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iii) the receipt of certain required consents or approvals from the FCC and certain specified state regulatory authorities; (iv) the absence of legal restraints prohibiting the Merger; and (v) other customary conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition. The Company Stockholder approval was obtained on November 13, 2024, and the applicable HSR waiting period expired on February 14, 2025. The FCC approved the transaction on May 16, 2025. Subject to such remaining conditions, the Company expects to consummate the merger by the first quarter of 2026. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Verizon, including, among others, the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by March 4, 2026 (subject to two automatic three-month extensions if certain closing conditions have not been satisfied). Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to pay Verizon a termination fee equal to $320 million. Additionally, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances relating to the failure to obtain certain specified antitrust or other regulatory approvals, Verizon will be required to pay the Company a termination fee equal to $590 million. The Company has incurred and will incur certain costs relating to the proposed Merger, such as financial advisory, legal, accounting and other professional services fees.
