Use of proceeds   

The issuer expects to receive approximately $120.7 million after deducting estimated fees and expenses and underwriting discounts (or approximately $138.9 million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase an additional $18,750,000 in principal amount of notes).

 

The issuer intends to use the gross proceeds from the offering, together with gross proceeds from the issuer’s concurrent offering of common stock for general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition of assets or businesses that are complementary to the issuer’s existing business, as well as to purchase a portfolio of U.S. treasury securities at a cost of $17.0 million (approximately $19.6 million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional notes) to fund the first six interest payments on the notes as described under “Coupon Collateralization,” and to pay related fees and expenses of the offerings.

Adjustment to conversion rate upon a fundamental change   

The following table sets forth the number of additional shares to be issuable per $1,000 initial principal amount of notes as a result of a fundamental change that occurs in the corresponding period subject to the conditions described in the prospectus supplement.

 

In no event, however, will the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion exceed 52.2193 per $1,000 initial principal amount of notes, subject to adjustments. In addition, if the price paid per share of issuer’s common stock in the fundamental change is less than $19.15 or more than $40.00 (subject to adjustment), there will be no change in the conversion rate.

Common stock outstanding    The total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of March 31, 2006 was approximately 24.4 million and immediately after the completion of the concurrent offering of common stock, assuming the concurrent offering of common stock was completed as of March 31, 2006, would have been approximately 36.4 million shares, or approximately 38.2 million shares if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares.
STT participation   

STT Crossing Ltd (“STT Crossing”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd (“ST Telemedia”), is purchasing 6,226,145 shares of common stock in the concurrent offering of common stock. As of April 28, 2006, ST Telemedia (together with its affiliates) beneficially owned 68.6% of the issuer’s common stock (including the common shares into which their mandatory convertible notes and 2.0% cumulative senior preferred shares are immediately convertible).

 

In connection with a facility agreement entered into by STT Communications Ltd (an affiliate of STT Crossing) in December 2004, as amended and supplemented, STT Crossing pledged 5,800,000 shares of common stock of the issuer and 5,800,000 senior preferred shares of the issuer, in each case presently owned by STT Crossing, to secure the funds borrowed under the facility agreement. The issuer could experience a change in control if the lender were to foreclose on such shares in the event of a default under such facility agreement.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement dated December 9, 2003 between the issuer and STT Crossing is being amended to extend the registration rights granted to STT Crossing thereunder to cover the shares of common stock that STT Crossing and/or its affiliates is acquiring in the concurrent offering of common stock. Under such agreement, STT Crossing and/or its affiliates may cause the issuer to register shares of common stock held by them at any time.
