Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously disclosed, Uniti Group Inc. (the “Company”) has been engaged in mediation with Windstream Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Windstream”) and certain of Windstream’s creditors. The mediation has not been terminated; however, the parties have not reached a resolution with respect to the issues and claims subject to the mediation. Therefore, the mediation has been suspended indefinitely by the mediator. In connection with the mediation, Windstream and Uniti entered into confidentiality agreements (the “Confidentiality Agreements”) with certain of Windstream’s creditors pursuant to which each of Windstream and Uniti shared certain confidential information and discussed potential resolutions of certain claims brought by Windstream against Uniti. Under the Confidentiality Agreements, Uniti and Windstream agreed to publicly disclose the material terms of the latest proposals to resolve claims pertaining to the Master Lease between Uniti and Windstream. Uniti is publicly disclosing a summary of the material terms of the latest proposals in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreements. A copy of such information is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein.
