Answer to Question 12 - Section 63.18(h) Interlocking Directorates

        opticAccess does not have any interlocking directorates with a foreign carrier except with Zayo,

which is a non-dominant foreign carrier in Canada, and other subsidiaries of Zayo that are foreign

carriers and share certain officers and/or directors with opticAccess and Zayo. A current list of foreign

carrier affiliates of opticAccess and Zayo was recently provided in IB File Nos. FCN-NEW-20180214-

00004 and FCN-NEW-20180214-00001, respectively, and is incorporated by reference.

Answer to Question 13 - Description of Transfer of Control

       Prior to March 30, 2018, opticAccess was an indirect subsidiary of Zayo through Zayo’s direct,

wholly owned subsidiary, Allstream Business US, LLC (“Allstream”). On March 30, 2018, Allstream

contributed its ownership interests in opticAccess to Zayo. As a result, opticAccess became a direct,

wholly owned subsidiary of Zayo. Charts depicting the corporate organizational structure of the

opticAccess before and after the Pro Forma Change are attached hereto as Attachment 2.
