                                          ATTACHMENT 1

    NOTIFICATION OF PRO FORMA TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF DOMESTIC
    AND INTERNATIONAL AUTHORITY PURSUANT TO SECTION 214 OF THE
              COMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

        Pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the

“Communications Act”), 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Section 63.24 of the Commission’s Rules, 47

C.F.R. § 63.24, The People’s Operator Holdings Limited (“TPO Holdings”) and The

People’s Operator (US) LLP ( “TPO (US) LLP”) hereby notify the Commission of a pro

forma transfer of control of the domestic and international Section 214 authorizations held by

The People’s Operator USA, LLC (“TPO USA”) from TPO Holdings to TPO (US) LLP, a

United Kingdom limited liability partnership.1

        The Transfer: This transfer of control took place in connection with an internal

corporate restructuring that was completed on July 20, 2015. The purpose of the

restructuring was to facilitate and enable the commitment of TPO USA to ultimately direct

twenty five percent (25%) of its profits to charitable causes. Prior to the restructuring, TPO

USA was a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPO Holdings. The restructuring entailed the

creation of TPO (US) LLP as a subsidiary of TPO Holdings and the transfer of the ownership

interests of TPO USA held by TPO Holdings to TPO (US) LLP. Thus, direct control of TPO

USA transferred from TPO Holdings to TPO (US) LLP. The restructuring thus inserted a

new subsidiary between TPO Holdings and TPO USA. There was, however, no ultimate

change in control.

  TPO USA holds an international Section 214 authorization for global resale a granted under FCC File No.
ITC-214-20141219-00324. See International Authorizations Granted, Public Notice, Rep. No. TEL-01741 (rel.
Jul. 9, 2015) (global resale authorization). TPO USA also provides domestic common carrier service pursuant
to the blanket Section 214 authorization granted under Section 63.01 of the Commission’s rules.


       As a result of the transaction, TPO (US) LLP is entitled to receive all of the profits of

TPO USA. TPO Holdings contributed 90.9% of the capital of TPO (US) LLP and is entitled

to receive seventy-five percent of the profits of TPO (US) LLP. The other twenty-five

percent of the profits of TPO (US) LLP will be directed initially to TPOF (US) Limited, a

private limited company incorporated in England and Wales that contributed 9.1 % of the

capital of TPO (US) LLP. TPOF (US) Limited in turn is 100% owned by The TPO (US)

Foundation, a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales.

The TPO (US) Foundation will direct that all of its funds go to the TPO Charitable

Foundation, a District of Columbia nonprofit corporation, which will identify the charities to

which 25% of TPO US profits will be directed. This structure mirrors the structure that is

used in the United Kingdom to distribute to charities the profits of a UK wireless provider.

Pre- and post-transaction structure charts are attached hereto.

       Pro Forma Nature of Transfer of Control: The instant transaction qualifies for pro

forma transfer procedures because The People’s Operator PLC, through its wholly-owned

subsidiary TPO Holdings, held ultimate control of the TPO USA prior to the transaction and

retains ultimate control over the TPO USA after the transaction.
