FairPoint. a Delaware corporation, is a wholly—owned subsidiary of MJD Communications, also a Delaware corporation. THL and related funds presently own a non—voting, preferred stock comprising a 43.3

percent equity interest in MJD Communications. Upon receipt of Commission approval of this application and applications for transfer of control of other Commission authorizations, THL and related funds~ 1 convert their preferred stock into common stock comprising a 47.2 percent voting interest . MJD Communications. At that point, THL will be the largest stockholder of MJD Commu ations and its principal source of future additional equity funding. In other words, THL v_ obtain and exercise de facto control of MJD Communications and its subsidiaries, i1 ading FairPoint, at the time of conversion and for the foreseeable future thereafter. It is likely that THL‘s common stock interest in MJD Communications will grow to exceed the 50.0 percent de jure control boundary at some point during the next year or two. The proposed transfer of control of MJD Communications and its subsidiaries, including FairPoint, to THL will serve the public interest by allowing FairPoint to draw upon the financial and administrative resources of THL and MJD Communications as it continues to resell and market its international telecommunications services in highly competitive markets.
