Front Range BidCo, Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that it has extended the Expiration Date (as defined in the Company’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated January 17, 2020 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Statement”)) of the Company’s previously announced cash tender offers (the “Offers”) in respect of any and all outstanding 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and 5.750% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes,” and together with the 2023 Notes and 2025 Notes, the “Notes”), each co-issued by Zayo Group, LLC and Zayo Capital, Inc. (together, the “Co-Issuers”), from 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on February 14, 2020 to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on February 28, 2020.

The Offers are being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Statement, as amended by this press release dated February 14, 2020. The deadline to validly withdraw tenders of Notes was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 31, 2020; therefore, Notes that have been tendered and not validly withdrawn, and Notes tendered after that date, may not be withdrawn unless otherwise required by applicable law. As of the date of this press release, (i) approximately $1,280.3 million aggregate principal amount, or 89.5%, of the outstanding 2023 Notes, (ii) approximately $868.1 million aggregate principal amount, or 96.5%, of the outstanding 2025 Notes, and (iii) approximately $1,629.1 million aggregate principal amount, or 98.7%, of the outstanding 2027 Notes have been tendered pursuant to the Offers.

Holders who had validly tendered Notes at or before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on January 31, 2020 (the “Early Tender Date”) will be eligible to receive the total consideration equal to $1,020.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes purchased pursuant to the Offers, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date up to but not including the final payment date (the “Total Consideration”). Holders who tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date and at or prior to the Expiration Date, and whose Notes are accepted for purchase, will be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration equal to $990.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes purchased pursuant to the Offers, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date up to but not including the final payment date.

On January 31, 2020, the Co-Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee under each of the indentures governing the Notes, executed (i) a supplemental indenture with respect to the 2023 Notes (the “2023 Supplemental Indenture”), (ii) a supplemental indenture with respect to the 2025 Notes (the “2025 Supplemental Indenture”), and (iii) a supplemental indenture with respect to the 2027 Notes (the “2027 Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the 2023 Supplemental Indenture and 2025 Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”), in each case to authorize the elimination of substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain reporting obligations, certain events of default and related provisions contained in the applicable indenture governing such series of Notes (the “Proposed Amendments”). The Proposed Amendments relating to the applicable series of Notes, however, will not become operative until the Company has accepted for purchase Notes that have been validly tendered representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes then outstanding pursuant to the applicable Offer.

The Company’s obligation to consummate the Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Statement, including, among others, (i) with respect to each series of Notes, the receipt of validly delivered consents to the Proposed Amendments from holders representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes then outstanding (which, as described above, have been received with respect to each series of Notes as of the date hereof), (ii) the execution and delivery by the Co-Issuers and the trustee of a supplemental indenture with respect to each series of Notes implementing the Proposed Amendments to the applicable indenture (which, as described above, have been executed and delivered in respect of each series of Notes as of the date hereof), (iii) the substantially concurrent consummation of the merger of the Company with and into Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Merger”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 8, 2019 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among Front Range TopCo, Inc., the Company and Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. and (iv) the consummation of debt financing on terms satisfactory to the Company that yields sufficient net cash proceeds to fund the Total Consideration for all of the outstanding Notes. The consummation of the Merger is not conditioned upon, whether directly or indirectly, the consummation of the Offers or the Consent Solicitations (as defined in the Statement).
