Telecommunications & Analysis Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Hawaiian Telcom Services Company, Inc., ITC-214-20010503- 00269 Dear Ms. Mukhoty: At your request, Hawaiian Telcom Services Company, Inc. (“HTSC”) submits the following information regarding the ownership of the above-referenced international 214 authorization. As indicated in the most recent pro forma assignment application, HTSC is 100 percent owned by Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc., which is in turn wholly owned by Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”). Holdco has two stockholders that have a greater than 10 percent ownership interest: Twin Haven Capital Partners, LLC (“Twin Haven”), with 22.7 percent, and Black Diamond Capital Management, LLC (‘Black Diamond”), with 23 percent. There are no other holders of Holdco stock that holds a 10 percent or greater share, either directly or indirectly, within the meaning of 47 C.F.R. § 63.11(e)(5). To be clear, no owner of either Twin Haven or Black Diamond owns sufficient interests to give such owner a 10 percent or greater share of Holdco, when applying the Commission’s multiplier. See, e.g., Foreign Ownership Guidelines for FCC Common Carrier and Aeronautical Radio Licenses, 19 FCC Rcd 22612, 22627 (IB 2004). As you know, Holdco is widely and publicly held. Therefore, the amount of stock that individual stockholders of Holdco own varies over time. When Holdco last reported Holdco ownership interests, it was in the context of an application of the SEA-US submarine cable application (SCL-LIC-2015062600016) partially owned by HTSC. In that application, HTSC reported that Twin Haven owned 21.9 percent of Holdco and Black Diamond owned 21.9 percent of Holdco. Report No. SCL- 00194, DA No. 17-56, at 2 (IB, rel. Jan. 13, 2017). In 2012, when Hawaiian Telcom, Inc. (“HTI”), a 100 percent indirectly owned subsidiary of Holdco, purchased Wavecom Corporation, HTI reported that Twin Haven owned 11 percent
