Frontier Communications (NASDAQ: FYBR) has filed an investor presentation detailing the benefits of its proposed acquisition by Verizon. The all-cash offer of $38.50 per share represents a 37% premium to the pre-announcement price and a 66% premium to the past year's average. The deal follows a comprehensive strategic review where Frontier's Board explored multiple alternatives, including remaining independent.
