    which process may take 45 to 60 days or more.!° Purchaser and other parties have filed
    their Joint Application with the FCC; a copy thereof has been provided to the PUC."

    Completion of a number of detailed procedures remain to determine the final purchase
    price and to buy out the interests of the present owner Shamrock and its representatives.

                                            DETERMINATIONS

21. Before the sale or transfer of control can be effective, the Commission must make a
    determination that the proposed sale or transfer satisfies the requirements for granting a
    Certificate of Authority as set forth in 12 GCA §12103(c)."

        (1) The Applicants Possess Sufficient Technical, Financial, and Managerial
        Resources and Abilities to Provide the Telecommunications Services in Guam
        under the Existing Certificate of Authority; and (2) the granting of a certificate of
        authority to the applicant would not be contrary to the public interest.

22. A review of the record herein regarding the "financial resources" of TeleGuam holdings
    and GTA Telecom establishes that Applicants possess sufficient financial resources and
    will continue to possess sufficient financial resources to provide telecommunications
    services after the transfer of control of GTA:

        a) The "Consolidated Balance Sheets" for TeleGuam Holdings LLC and
            Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and unaudited Consolidated
            Balance Sheet and Income Statement for 2010 indicate that Applicants have
            substantial and significant financial resources which should enable them to
            continue to provide telecommunications services in Guam after a transfer of
            control of GTA to Purchaser APTG.*

            b)   GTA owns assets, including property, plant and equipment which constitute
                 its telecommunications system and enable it to provide telecommunications
                 services."

                 Said Balance Sheets and Income Statements indicate that there was a
                 consistent and healthy increase in GTA‘s revenues for each year from 2008 to
                 2010 in amounts totaling millions of dollars; on the other hand, long—term
                 debt has been reduced during that same period.

            d)   Long term debt has been reduced in substantial amounts every year from
                 2008 through 2010. Payoff of long term debt by GPA is an indication that it is
                 capable of meeting its current debt obligations.

                 The Unaudited Financial Statement for 2010 establishes a continuing trend in
                 the reduction of long term debt and increasing total current assets.

                 Because the proposed transaction will occur at the holding company level
                 there is no proposed change in any of the assets or liabilities of the
                 Applicants; the Applicants will continue to possess the same strong financial
                 qualifications they do at present after the sale.""

23. Purchaser appears to have sufficient financial resources to fund the sale transaction and to
    assist GTA in continuing to provide telecommunication services in Guam under the
         existing Certificates of Authority.

           a)    The Purchaser has committed to continue to build the infrastructure
                 improvements set forth in the Five Year Build Out Plan. 7

           b)    The 2011 "Capex Plan" submitted by the Purchaser APTG indicates that GTA
                 intends to spend millions of dollars annuallyin the build out of its
                 telecommunications system."

        ©)   The Financial Statements of the Shareholders of APTG, AP Cayman Partners
             II, LP. and Advantage Partners IV, ILP indicate that both companies have
             substantial financial assets.""

        d)   In aggregate, AP IV, AP Cayman, and JIIP have capital commitments from
             their investors of billions of dollars for investment into multiple corporations
             including Purchaser and Applicants.

             In aggregate, AP IV, AP Cayman, and JIIP have capital commitments from
             their investors of billions of dollars for investment into multiple corporations
             including Purchaser and Applicants. Advantage Partners LLP, over the last
             13 years, made more than 30 investments and had $5.0 Billion of total capital
             commitments under its management from both Japanese and international
             investors, with over $700M of un—invested capital in existing funds. Such un—
             invested funds will be available for capital injection to GTA if required,
             pending review on a case by case basis."?

             In Commitment Letters from each of the AP Fund shareholders of the
             Purchaser, they each agree to provide significant amounts of capital towards
             the equity in the purchase.

        3    The Commitment Letter from financial institution BNP Paribas commits to
             financing the principal loan amount of the sales transaction.52

        h)   BNP Paribas was previously involved in the financing of TeleGuam in 2007.
             Its familiarity with GTA over a number of years make it uniquely situated to
             give an opinion on the financial condition of GTA.

             BNP Paribas indicates that it is satisfied with the terms of the present sale
             transaction and is willing to loan the amounts indicated based upon its belief
             in the credit worthiness of the borrowers.>

          j)   According to BNP Paribas, the level of leverage for the transaction is
               reasonable and manageable. In its opinion, GTA, due to its greater size and
               diversification at present as compared with in 2007, make it a better credit
               versus 2007 at the same leverage level."

          k) The leverage of the present transaction is substantially lower now than it was
             in 2007. In 2007 the financing transaction was leveraged at 5.7x debt to
               "ebitda" (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization).
               However, the contemplated acquisition leverages the Company at only 4.7x
               debt to ebitda.

          1)   The leverage level for the GTA sale transaction is consistent with that of
               other middle market leverage deals. BNP has confidence in the ability of
               TeleGuam to handle the contemplated leverage level." GTA appears to have
               sufficient cash available to service its debt.

          m) For all of the reasons set forth herein, the PUC concludes that Applicants,
             including the Purchaser and the AP Funds, have established that they do
               have sufficient financial resources to continue to provide the
               telecommunications services in Guam after the sales transaction is
               consummated.

24. There is no evidence in the record that the transaction involving Advantage Partners LLP
    and Tokyo Star Bank has any impact upon the GTA sale. There is no showing that the
        Purchaser of GTA is liable for the loans involving the Tokyo Star Bank.

          a) The testimony of Mr. Thomas at the Public Hearing established that the
               Tokyo Star Bank situation had no bearing on the GTA sales transaction and
               did not present any risk for GTA. The investment of Advantage Partners in
               the Tokyo Star Bank is through a "special purpose vehicle" and there is no
               recourse by the creditors on the Tokyo Star Bank Loan to the AP Funds, or
               Advantage Partners LLP.36

          b) Neither Advantage Partners nor the AP Funds had made any guarantees,
             concerning the Tokyo Star Bank Loan, nor were they liable for any interest or
              principal payments involving the Tokyo Star Bank.37

          c) Neither AP LLP nor the AP Funds could "default" on the loans related to the
             Tokyo Star Bank because they have no liability to the individual investments.
             They have no liability to the creditors of the Tokyo Star Bank Investment.3

25. Applicants now have sufficient technical and managerial resources to provide
        telecommunications services in Guam and will continue to have such resources after the
        sale.

          a) Purchaser intends to maintain the Applicants‘ existing management team and
             Guam—based employees following completion of the transaction, so that the
             Applicants will continue to possess the same technical and managerial
             qualifications as they do at present; and these will be supplemented by the
             management team of Purchaser."

          b) The same management team which has guided GTA forward since
             privatization will continue to manage GTA after the transfer of control of
             TeleGuam Holdings, LLC to APTG.

          c) Based upon Mr. Thomas‘ testimony, it is likely that a number of the current
             Directors of GTA will remain on the Board.4 APTG may retain AP LLP as a
             consultant to GTA to support the management team of GTA.4

          d) GTA has made a sufficient showing that it will continue to possess sufficient
             technical and managerial resources and abilities to provide the

            telecommunications services to the people of Guam under the Certificates of
            Authority after the transfer of control of TeleGuam Holdings LLC to APTG.


26. Approval by the PUC of the sale/ transfer of control of TeleGuam Holdings LLC is "not
    contrary to the Public Interest".

        a) In written comments submitted on January 24, 2011, PDS has raised
           numerous concerns regarding the present operations of GTA. The concerns
           involve: (1) alleged violations of existing tariff rules; (2) alleged anti—
           competitive rates and charges in the form of discounts and other credits; (3)
           the failure of GTA to conduct a rate/TELRIC study concerning rates.

        b) PDS also claims that GTA has failed in its commitment, made at the time of
           its privatization, to provide wireless Wi—Fi broadband to Guam schools.

        c) PDS raised these "concerns" as comments questioning, or in opposition to,
           the Joint Application. However, there is no proper evidentiary record before
           the PUC at the present time proving or establishing the substance or validity
           of any of these concerns.

        d) It is not appropriate for the PUC to undertake a detailed examination of the
           legitimacy of the concerns raised by PDS in the context of this proceeding
            involving Certificates of Authority and transfer of control of GTA. Such
            concerns should be brought in the appropriate manner and in a separate
            docket.

        e) The formal matter now pending before the PUC is the Application for
           Approval of the transfer of control of GTA. The concerns raised by PDS are
           not directly relevant to the issue of whether the sale of GTA is contrary to
           the public interest. In this proceeding, the review and scope of issues before
           the PUC is constrained by the statutory framework under 12 GCA §12103.

        £) Such concerns must also be formally raised, if at all, and not solely through
           public comments. Should PDS desire to bring any of the forgoing matters
            before the PUC, there are adequate statutory means of doing so. 12 GCA
            §12107(a) provides: "Any interested person complaining of anything done or
            omitted to be done by any telecommunications company in violation of this
            Article or the rules, regulations and orders of the Commission may file a
            petition or complaint with the Commission."

         8 If PDS claims that GTA‘s rates and charges are anti—competitive or
                discriminatory, it can invoke the PUC‘s jurisdiction pursuant to 12 GCA
                §12105 to specifically determine whether GTA‘s rates meet the "just and
                reasonable" standard.

         h)     If PDS claims that GTA is violating existing tariff rules, it can invoke PUC‘s
                jurisdiction under 12 GCA §12106.

                Thus, should PDS have claims concerning GTA‘s violation of rules and
                regulations regarding tariffs, the imposition of discriminatory or anti—
                competitive rates, or the failure to provide required services, it has an
                appropriate remedy of filing a formal complaint pursuant to 12 GCA §12107.

         D      If PDS seeks to raise such claims, it should file a specific complaint about the
                concerns which is raises in a separate and specifically directed proceeding. In
                such case, the Applicants and all parties, as well as the PUC, would have a
                full and adequate opportunity to address the concerns raised by PDS.42

         k)     GTA has presented information establishing that it has implemented nearly
                all of the matters it agreed to in Section 6.10(e) of the privatization Asset
                Purchase Agreement between Guam Telephone Authority and TeleGuam
                Holdings, LLC. The Company states that it is capable of deploying Wi—Fi
                technology in the schools and the libraries, but at present MCV and PDS are
                currently contracted by the government to provide telecom and broadband
                services to the public schools and libraries."

         3      The Guam Telecommunications Act of 2004 provides that it is in the public
                interest to provide the people of Guam with modern, innovative, accessible
                and affordable telecommunications services and products.4

         m) TeleGuam Holdings, LLC, and GTA Telecom, LLC, will continue to offer
                service to the customers of Guam with no change in rates or terms and




4# A full evidentiary proceeding would have to be undertaken by the PUC before any of the concerns of PDS
could be substantiated.

            conditions.® The sale will facilitate GTA‘s ability to provide
            telecommunications services and products to the people of Guam. All of the
            Applicants‘ current tariffs will remain in effect.

            Also in the interest of consumers of telecommunications services is that the
            expansion of facilities and technology continue on Guam. APTG is
            committed to investing in Guam to offer state of the art service to all
            customer segments. It indicates that, with its financial backing, APTG will be
            able to maintain its state of the art infrastructure, offer quadruple—play, and
            be poised to expand to serve new customers that are expected to result from
            the military buildup in Guam.*

            The Purchaser‘s plans to accelerate GTA‘s competitive service offerings and
            to provide customers with better service choices, and improved pricing,
            should further and promote the public interest."

27. There is no necessity for the PUC to hire additional independent consultants to advise it
     on this matter at the present time.

28. The findings of the ALJ relevant to this point are adopted. Under the statutory framework
    in 12 GCA §12103, the duty to determine and find whether an applicant possesses
    sufficient financial resources to provide the telecommunications services in Guam is
    squarely placed upon the Commission.4 In this instance, the Commission has been
    supplied with sufficient information to make the necessary statutory determinations and
    findings without the need for other consultants.
