Examples of Verizon Acquisition in a sentence

  • Nationally, Frontier U.S.’ customers decreased from a high of5.4 million after the close of the Verizon Acquisition in 2016 to 4.1 million in March 2020.

  • However, we note that Frontier had also committed to meeting GO 133-C service quality standards as part of a Verizon Acquisition settlement agreement approved by the Commission in D.15-12-005.

  • In July 2010, Frontier—with Defendants Wilderotter and McCarthy at its helm— embarked on what was then the Company’s largest purchase to date: the 2010 Verizon Acquisition.

  • Both as CEO and as Executive Chairman, Wilderotter was integral in developing Frontier’s acquisition strategy, and she oversaw the 2010 Verizon Acquisition, the Connecticut Acquisition, and the Company’s entry into, and announcement, of the CTF Acquisition.

  • The 2010 Verizon Acquisition tripled Frontier’s size by adding nearly five million wireline customers across fourteen states.

  • For thirteen of the fourteen states acquired in the 2010 Verizon Acquisition, Frontier used the industry-standard “lease back” method described above.

  • In addition, the estimated useful lives for assets acquired in the Verizon Acquisition were adopted for such assets based on this same study effective April 1, 2016.

  • Thus, as part of the WVAG Settlement, the Company subsequently agreed to pay$150 million just to fulfill its integration promises—on its own 75% of what Defendants had said the integration costs for all fourteen states in the 2010 Verizon Acquisition would cost.7 Further, the WVAG Settlement required that the West Virginia Attorney General monitor Frontier’s compliance with the settlement—in other words, West Virginia authorities would not again trust Frontier to deliver its integration promises.

  • In response, from first announcing the acquisition, Defendants stressed their “proven track record” of the 2010 Verizon Acquisition and the Connecticut Acquisition, and claimed that their “seasoned integration team” would deliver estimated acquisition and integration costs of just $450 million.

  • Even as recently as November 2017, the West Virginia Attorney General stated publicly that it would “continue to monitor Frontier’s progress to ensure compliance with the settlement’s terms for the advancement of West Virginia.” 7 By comparison, Defendants had initially told the market that integrating the entire 2010 Verizon Acquisition (including the 13 other states) would require only $126 million in capital expenditures, which Frontier did spend at the time.
