Warrants
In March 2003, the Company entered into a series of recapitalization transactions which included the issuance of 17.5 million warrants that expired on March 26, 2013. Each warrant allowed the holder to purchase one share of Cincinnati Bell common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 each. At December 31, 2012, there were 14.3 million warrants outstanding, all of which were exercised by warrant holders during the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a result of the 14.3 million warrants being exercised during the first quarter, the Company issued a total of 4.4 million shares of common stock and received $5.1 million of cash proceeds for the 1.7 million of such warrants which were cash settled.
