The Anchorage, Alaska, provider of broadband and IT services
said it will be acquired for $3.40 a share by a newly formed entity
owned by ATN and Freedom 3 Capital LLC in an all cash deal valued

said it will operate and consolidate the new entity and Alaska
Communications through its majority ownership stake.

to be acquired by Macquarie and GCM for $3.26 a share and paid a
$6.8 million break-up fee.
ATN said it expects to complete the transaction in the second
half of the year.
