Item 2.01                                           Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On March 8, 2017, ATN International, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the previously-announced disposition of a portion of its U.S. Wireline business, located in the northeastern United States and operating as Sovernet Communications, to TVC Albany, Inc. (the “Buyer”), an affiliate of funds managed by Oak Hill Capital Management, LLC.  The contractual purchase price was $23.9 million consisting of the purchase price of $22.0 million and a closing date adjustment related to working capital and other matters in favor of the Company of approximately $1.9 million.  Approximately $3.0 million of the sale proceeds will be held in escrow for a period of up to 15 months after closing to satisfy working capital adjustments in favor of the Buyer, to fund certain capital expenditure projects related to the assets sold and to secure the Company’s indemnification obligations.  Additionally, the Company may be entitled to receive monthly earn-out payments of up to an aggregate of $4.0 million with respect to the period from the closing date until December 31, 2017.
