Answer to Question 13 Description of Transaction The assignment and transfer of control resulted from an internal reorganization that occurred immediately after ATN and Verizon Wireless consummated their transaction on April 26, 2010.3 After consummation, Adams LLC merged into AWCC with AWCC being the surviving entity. The merger thus resulted in the assignment of international Section 214 authority held by Adams LLC to AWCC. The restructuring is pro forma in nature because ultimate ownership and control of the international Section 214 authority remains with ATN. The Commission has previously stated that in situations, such as the instant reorganization, where no substantial change of control will occur, “grant of the application is deemed presumptively in the public interest.”4 3 See Applications of Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. and Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA 10-661 (rel. Apr. 20, 2010) (consenting to the divestiture of licenses from Verizon Wireless to ATN). 4 See Federal Communications Bar Association’s Petition for Forbearance from Section 310(d) of the Communications Act Regarding Non-Substantial Assignments of Wireless Licenses and Transfers of Control Involving Telecommunications Carriers, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 6293, 6295 (1998). 4
