Section 7 — Regulation FD
Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure
On October 7, 2011, Zayo Group, LLC (“Zayo,” the ”Company” or “we”) issued a filing on Form 8-K announcing its entrance into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of 360networks Holdings (USA) Inc. (“360networks”). In conjunction with the Agreement, the Company has obtained a commitment from lenders to fund a $295.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) to partially fund the $345.0 million acquisition. RBC Capital Markets, Barclays Capital, Inc. and SunTrust Bank, Inc. (collectively the “Lead Arrangers”), in their capacity as Lead Arrangers of the Facility, anticipate distributing marketing materials to potentials investors in the Facility. The Lead Arrangers intend to communicate to potential investors certain financial data of 360networks which has not been made publically available. The Company is issuing this filing on Form 8-K in order to make publically available the financial information of 360networks which may be used by the Lead Arrangers in their marketing material for purposes of soliciting potential investors in the Facility.
The consolidated financial statements of 360networks Corporation are attached to this filing as exhibit 99.1. The Agreement is to acquire 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of 360networks which is a subsidiary of 360networks Corporation. Upon the closing of the acquisition, the Company would acquire substantially all of the operating assets of 360networks Corporation, however, there are certain non-operating assets which are included in the attached consolidated financial statements of 360networks Corporation which will not be acquired by the Company. These non-operating assets include, but are not limited, to the $58.4 million restricted and non-restricted investment balance held by 360networks Corporation as of December 31, 2010. Additionally, 360networks Corporation’s historical results include the operating results generated by its Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) product offerings. Upon the closing of the acquisition, Zayo intends to spin-off the components of 360networks which support the VoIP business to the Company’s parent — Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. For these and other reasons, the historical operating results of 360networks Corporation are not indicative of expected future results of operations which the Company would realize subsequent to closing the acquisition.
The consolidated financial statements of 360networks Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, attached as exhibit 99.1, were prepared by management of 360networks as of July 13, 2011 and the litigation and subsequent event disclosures as addressed in footnote 15 — Commitments and Contingencies and footnote 16 — Subsequent Events, have not been updated for events that has occurred from that date to the date of this filing on Form 8-K. The following discussion acts as an update to these footnote disclosures.
As further discussed in exhibit 99.1 under footnote 15 — Commitments and Contingencies — Contingent Liability —Preference Recoveries, as of December 31, 2010, 360networks Corporation had a contingent liability related to two adversary proceedings filed against 360networks (USA) inc. (“360USA”). The first adversary proceeding captioned Steven J. Reisman, As Post Confirmation Representative of the Chapter 11 Estates of 360networks (USA) inc. vs. 360networks (USA) inc., Bankr. S.D.N.Y Adv. Pro. No. 10-02792 (ALG) (the “Reisman Action”) was filed on February 1, 2010, seeking restitution to recover $16.1 million in payments made to 360USA. A second adversary proceeding captioned Gowan v. 360networks (USA) inc., Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 10-03904 (SMB) (the “DLLP Action”) was filed October 18, 2010, and sought to recover $11.9 million in alleged preference payments from 360USA. Both the Reisman Action and DLLP Action were settled pursuant to a tripartite settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) dated August 4, 2011, that was subsequently approved by the courts in both the Reisman Action and the DLLP Preference Action. Pursuant to the Settlement, on October 25, 2011, 360USA paid $5,325,000 to the representative in the Reisman Action and $2,875,000 to the trustee in the DLLP Action. The Reisman Action was then dismissed with prejudice on October 31, 2011 and dismissal with prejudice of the DLLP Action is expected within the next 10 days of the date of this filing on Form 8-k. 360networks recognized other income of $3.02M in October as a result of these settlements.
This filing is not intended to fulfill the Company’s requirements to file with the SEC the financial statements of businesses acquired or to be acquired under Article 3-05 of Regulation S-X. The Company intends to file the pre-acquisition audited financial statements required by Article 3-05 of Regulation S-X and any required pro-forma financial information required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X at a later date.
