Note 7. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

In October 2020, the Company entered into an OpCo-PropCo transaction with Everstream Solutions LLC (“Everstream”).  As part of the transaction, Uniti will enter into two 20-year IRU lease agreements with Everstream on Uniti owned fiber.  Concurrently, Uniti has agreed to sell its Uniti Fiber Northeast operations and certain dark fiber IRU contracts acquired as part of the Windstream settlement to Everstream.  Total cash consideration, including upfront IRU payments, is approximately $135 million.  In addition to the upfront proceeds, Uniti will receive fees of approximately $3 million annually from Everstream over the initial 20-year term of the IRU lease agreements, subject to an annual escalator of 2%.  The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities associated with the Opco-Propco transaction with Everstream classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020:
