Notification of Pro Forma Transfer Attachment 1 NOTIFICATION OF PRO FORMA TRANSACTION This notification is filed pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 63.24(f) of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC’s” or “Commission’s”) rules.1 The notification pertains to the following international Section 214 authorizations (the “Licenses”): Licensee Name IBFS File Number Optivon, Inc. (a Puerto Rico Corporation) ITC-214-2009091500418 Optivon, Inc. (a Florida Corporation) ITC-214-2015012200012 Optivon Telecommunications Services, Inc. (a ITC-214-2004120100474 Puerto Rico Corporation) As is explained in greater detail below, all of the Licenses are held by entities that are under the ultimate affirmative control of Mr. Luis G. Romero (“Mr. Romero”).2 For estate planning purposes, Mr. Romero is transferring his controlling holdings in these licensees to a revocable trust, created by The Luis G. Romero Trust Agreement dated November 28, 2018 (the “Trust”), for which Mr. Romero is the sole grantor and trustee. Consequently, Mr. Romero controls the Trust and, as a result, there is no change in the “actual controlling party” of the Licenses and the transfer qualifies as “non-substantial or pro forma” under Section 63.24(d) of the Commission’s rules. The pro forma transfer occurred as follows: 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of both Puerto Rico corporation Optivon Telecommunications Services, Inc. (“OTSI”) and of Florida corporation Optivon, Inc. (“Optivon-FL”) is held by Puerto Rico corporation Optivon, Inc. (“Optivon-PR”). Mr. Romero directly holds a majority (56.65%) of the issued and outstanding stock in Optivon-PR, and indirectly holds another 19.61% interest through his 100% ownership of the issued and common stock of PW Acquisition Corp. which holds 17.71% of common stock and 1.90% of preferred stock in Optivon-PR. Thus, Mr. Romero’s cumulative interest in the Licenses as a result of these holdings is 76.26% which accords him affirmative control.3 The pro forma transfer occurred on June 14, 2019 when Mr. Romero transferred his individual shares in Optivon-PR and his shares in PW Acquisition Corp. to the Trust. 1 47 U.S.C. §214; 47 C.F.R. § 63.24(f). 2 Mr. Romero is also known as “Luis G. Romero Font” which includes his second last name as is common in traditional Latin cultures. For purposes of avoiding confusion when conducting business in the United States, Mr. Romero uses a single last name, and thus is making these FCC filings in his correct, current legal name of “Luis G. Romero.” 3 Mr. Romero also indirectly holds 50% of a 0.88% interest in Optivon-PR through another entity, Codecom, Inc., which is not being transferred to the Trust. Including this minor interest, Mr. Romero’s total interest in Optivon-PR is 76.7%. 1
