This updated bid follows previously disclosed bids in Form 8-K dated October 30, 2017 and September 20, 2017. The Company believes that the BT Business, with its existing fiber assets and a strong customer base, will add to the Company&rsquo;s growing fiber footprint. The Company is offering to acquire the BT Business for a total consideration of $32,300,000, consisting of (i) $29.8 million in cash payable at closing and (ii) an additional $2.5 million, payable at closing in recognition of the additional capital expenditure planned by BT in its fiscal year ending on June 30, 2018. As of the date hereof, the Company is one of the multiple bidders for the BT Business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be selected as the winning bidder.</font></p>
