Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed by Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) to amend its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2023 (the “Original Report”), solely to correct an inadvertent error in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 with the Original Report (the “Earnings Release”). Specifically, in the table reconciling EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted for Sprint acquisition costs and cash payments made to the Company under the IP Transit Services Agreement, to net cash provided by operating activities for each quarter of 2022 and the first two quarters of 2023, there was an error in the number provided for EBITDA, as adjusted for Sprint acquisition costs and cash payments made to the Company under the IP Transit Services Agreement, for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

The correct EBITDA, as adjusted for Sprint acquisition costs and cash payments made to the Company under IP Transit Services Agreement, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $54,062,000 rather than $56,042,000 as provided in the original Earnings Release. A corrected version of the Earnings Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is being posted on the Company’s website. This Amendment does not otherwise amend, update or change any other disclosure contained in the Original Report or the Earnings Release.

The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.

 

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
