As a strategic financing partner to the telecommunications industry, Uniti continuously evaluates industry challenges and trends to identify growth opportunities. The company's strategy focuses on acquiring and leasing communication assets that qualify as real property, financing fiber for existing and new customers, and acting as a financing partner to facilitate mergers and acquisitions.
Uniti's recent achievements include updating its 2023 outlook to reflect transaction-related and other incurred costs. The company’s outlook for 2023 remains optimistic, with a consolidated revenue projection that excludes future acquisitions and capital market transactions. Looking ahead to 2024, Uniti has set a comprehensive financial outlook, underscoring its commitment to sustained growth and profitability.
For investor relations and media inquiries, key contacts include Paul Bullington, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer, and Bill DiTullio, Vice President, Investor Relations & Treasury.

Uniti Group Inc. (Nasdaq: UNIT) announced the successful completion of Windstream's consent solicitation to amend the indenture governing their 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2028. The amendments allow for the consolidation of Windstream and Uniti's debt into a single silo capital structure following their planned merger. This change is expected to result in a simplified capital structure and remove perceived overhangs related to current master lease agreements.
The amendments modify covenants to permit the post-closing reorganization, align collateral packages, and grant authorizations to implement changes. The merger is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals. The implementation of these amendments is not a condition for closing the merger, and Uniti's outstanding indebtedness terms will not change as a result.
