Organization and Business	Note 1. Organization and Business Goodman Networks Incorporated, a Texas corporation, (“Goodman Networks” and collectively with its subsidiaries the “Company”), is a national provider of end-to-end network infrastructure and professional services to the wireless telecommunications industry. The Company’s wireless telecommunications services span the full network lifecycle, including the design, engineering, construction, deployment, integration, maintenance, and decommissioning of wireless networks. Goodman Networks performs these services across multiple network infrastructures, including traditional cell towers as well as next generation small cell and distributed antenna systems (“DAS”). The Company also serves the satellite television industry by providing onsite installation, upgrade and maintenance of satellite television systems to both the residential and commercial markets customers. These highly specialized and technical services are critical to the capability of the Company’s customers to deliver voice, data and video services to their end users. Merger with Multiband On May 21, 2013, Goodman Networks entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Manatee Merger Sub Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman Networks (“MergerSub”), and Multiband Corporation (“Multiband”), pursuant to which on August 30, 2013, Multiband merged with and into MergerSub, with Multiband surviving the merger (the “Merger”). The aggregate purchase price, excluding merger-related fees and expenses, was approximately $101.1 million. Upon the closing of the Merger, Multiband became a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman Networks, and Multiband and its subsidiaries became restricted subsidiaries and guarantors under the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Company’s 12.125% senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) and the Company’s amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). To finance the Merger the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, sold an additional $100 million of Notes (the “Tack-On Notes”) under terms substantially identical to those of the $225 million aggregate principal amount of Notes issued in June 2011 (the “Original Notes”). The Company paid the remainder of the merger consideration from cash on hand. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company redeemed the Tack-On Notes in exchange for the issuance of an equivalent amount of Notes, which are classified as a long-term liability on the Company’s balance sheet upon the closing of the Merger because they mature in July 2018. Sale of MDU Assets On December 31, 2013, the Company sold certain assets (the “MDU Assets”) to DIRECTV MDU, LLC (“DIRECTV MDU”), and DIRECTV MDU assumed certain liabilities of the Company, related to the division of the Company’s business involved with the ownership and operation of subscription based video, high-speed internet and voice services and related call center functions to multiple dwelling unit customers, lodging and institution customers and commercial establishments, or, such assets, collectively, the MDU Assets. The operations of the MDU Assets were previously reported in the Company’s “Other Services” segment. In consideration for the MDU Assets, DIRECTV MDU paid the Company $12.5 million and additional non-cash consideration, and extended the existing Multiband/DIRECTV HSP Agreement, resulting in a four-year remaining term ending on December 31, 2017, as well as the assumption of certain liabilities. Restructuring Activities During the second quarter of 2014, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and further improve efficiencies in our operations, including further integrating the operations of Multiband (the “2014 Restructuring Plan”). The restructuring costs associated with the 2014 Restructuring Plan are recorded in the restructuring expense line item within our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 15 – Restructuring Activities for a summary of restructuring activities and costs.
