FROM: Level 3 GC Limited TO: Level 3 Financing, Inc. Application filed for consent to the pro forma transfer of control of the interest in the cable landing license for the Americas-II Cable System (Americas-II), SCL-LIC-19980429-00019 (Old File Nos. SCL-98-003 and SCL-98-003A), held by Global Crossing Americas Solutions, Inc. (GCAS), from its 100% indirect parent, Level 3 GC Limited (Level 3 GCL), to Level 3 Financing, Inc. (Level 3 Financing). Americas-II extends between Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Martinique, Curacao, Trinidad, Venezuela, French Guiana and Brazil. GCAS holds a 0.04115% voting and equity interest in Americas-II. The pro forma transfer of control occurred, without prior Commission consent, as part of an intra-corporate reorganization. Level 3 GCL and Level 3 Financing were both direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Level 3 Communications, Inc. (Level 3 Parent). On October 4, 2011, Level 3 Parent contributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of Level 3 GC to Level 3 Financing, and Level 3 GCL thus became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Level 3 Financing. On December 31, 2012, Global Crossing Holdings Limited, an intermediate holding company between Level 3 GCL and GCAS, was merged into Level 3 GCL with Level 3 GCL being the surviving entity.

The Hibernia Cable System is a non-common carrier fiber-optic cable system linking the continental United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland. In an intra-corporate transaction, a new holding company was inserted into the ownership chain. Prior to the transaction, Columbia Ventures Corporation (CVC) held an 83% direct interest in Hibernia Group and CVC III Hibernia Blocker, Inc. (CV Hibernia) held a 17% direct interest in Hibernia Group. In the transaction, Hibernia NGS was inserted between Hibernia Group and its owners - CVC and CV Hibernia. Hibernia Group is now a wholly-owned direct subsidiary, and Hibernia Atlantic is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, of Hibernia NGS, and CVC and CV Hibernia now hold the same ownership interests in Hibernia NGS that they previously held in Hibernia Group, i.e., 83% and 17%, respectively.
