               SUPPLEMENT TO APPLICATION TO ASSIGN SPRINT‘S
              INTEREST IN THE AMERICAS I CABLE SYSTEM TO ATOC


       Atlantic Teleconnection Operating Company Limited ("ATOC®"), pursuant to the Act

Relating to the Landing and Operation of Submarine Cables in the United States, 47 U.S.C. §§

34—39 (the "Cable Landing License Act"), Executive Order 10530, and Section 1.767 ofthe

Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.767, submits this supplement("Supplement") to the

application filed February 22, 2019 requesting approval to assign the 6.95388 percent interest

Sprint Communications Company L.P. holds in the Americas I Cable System to ATOC

("Application"). ATOC files this Supplementin response to an inquiry from the International

Bureau in connection with the disclosures required by Section 63.18(h) of the Commission‘s

rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(h).

       The table set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto lists all individuals and entities that will

hold a ten percent or greater direct or indirect equity or voting interest in ATOC following

consummation of the transaction. No other individual or entity will hold such an interest


following consummation. The table in Exhibit A replaces the table set forth on page 4 ofthe

Application. Please note that Blackrock, Inc. ("Blackrock") has been added to the table.

Although Blackrock will not hold a ten percent or greaterindirect interest in ATOC if the

multiplier is used to calculate Blackrock‘s interest, use of the multiplier is inappropriate in this

instance pursuant to the Note to Section 63.18(h) of the FCC‘s rules because ATNI‘s interest in

ATOC is above 50 percent and is controlling and Blackrock holds a direct interest in ATNL
