FCC Form 214 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 3 (d) A statement as to whether the applicant has previously received authority under Section 214 of the Act and, if so, a general description of the categories of facilities and services authorized (i.e., authorized to provide international switched services on a facilities basis). Manawa Telephone Company (“MTC”) has not previously received any International 214 authority apart from the International 214 Authority that is the subject of this application. Central Wisconsin Communications, LLC, another wholly-owned subsidiary of Wood County Telephone Company d/b/a Solarus (the parent company of MTC) holds a Section 214 Authorization to provide International telecommunication services on a global resale basis. See File No. ITC-214-19960315-00009. Answer to Question 13 By this application, notification is being provided to the FCC of a pro forma assignment of the International 214 Authorization (ITC-214-19970922-00577) held by Manawa Telecom, Inc. (“MTI”; FRN: 0003-7461-38) to its sister company Manawa Telephone Company (“MTC”; FRN: 0002-7194-74) in connection with a reorganization undertaken to streamline the corporate structure of the parties involved. On August 15, 2016 Manawa Telecommunications, Inc. (“Manawa”; FRN:0025-2328-02), the direct parent company of both MTC and MTI was acquired by Wood County Telephone Company d/b/a Solarus (“Solarus”; FRN: 0003-7441-41) pursuant to approval granted by the FCC (See File No. ITC-T/C-20160208-0053). Solarus is wholly-owned by its member customers and no shareholder holds 10% or greater ownership interest in Solarus. As a result of that earlier transaction, both MTC and MTI became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Solarus. Effective January 1, 2018, both Manawa and MTI were merged into MTC leaving MTC, the surviving company, as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Solarus. As a result of that merger, the International 214 Authorization formerly held by MTI was assigned to its sister company, MTC. The FCC is being notified of this pro forma transaction within thirty (30) days as required by rule section 63.24(f)(2). The applicants hereby certify that the assignment described herein was pro forma and that, together with all previous pro forma transactions, does not result in a change in the actual controlling party. MTC a Wisconsin corporation, is a rural incumbent local exchange carrier (“ILEC”) that provides exchange access services in Waupaca County in the State of Wisconsin as well as resold interstate and international interexchange service pursuant to blanket domestic Section 214 authorizations and the International 214 authorization that is the subject of this application. MTC’s parent, Solarus, is also a Wisconsin corporation that provides local exchange and exchange access services as an ILEC in portions of the Wisconsin counties of Wood, Portage, Adams and Juneau pursuant to a blanket domestic Section 214 authorization. Solarus’s wholly- owned subsidiary, Central Wisconsin Communications, LLC (“CWC”; FRN: 0003-7405-86) provides resold interstate and international interexchange services in the areas served by Solarus

FCC Form 214 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 3 pursuant to a blanket domestic Section 214 authorization and its own International 214 authorization (ITC-214-19960315-00009). CWC is a Wisconsin limited liability company. Answer to Question 20 This application qualifies for streamlined processing because none of the parties hereto is affiliated with any foreign carrier nor is any party affiliated with any dominant U.S. carrier whose international switched or private line services is being resold.
