Sprint affiliate Shentel to buy Ntelos for USD 640 mln
2015-08-11 08:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Shenandoah Telecommunications (Shentel) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire fellow US regional mobile operator Ntelos for approximately USD 640 million in cash. Shentel will assume Ntelos's net debt, which stood at USD 431 million at the end of June, adjusted for its expected obligations from winding down its Eastern Markets division in November. Ntelos shareholders will receive around USD 208 million in cash, or USD 9.25 per share, an approximately 60 percent premium over the last 30 days. The purchase will be financed with an expanded credit facility. The 'nTelos Wireless' brand will be discontinued in favour of Sprint, with which Shentel has concurrently extended its affiliate relationship. Ntelos's 297,500 retail customers in its Western Markets, (parts of Virginia, West Virgina, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky) will use the Sprint branded service. Shentel will continue to upgrade the nTelos network to 4G LTE and expand coverage in the areas with at least an additional 150 sites over the next three years, using spectrum acquired by Sprint and made available to Shentel as part of the transaction.

Ntelos to sell spectrum to T-Mobile
2014-12-02 14:02:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Sprint affiliate operator Ntelos announced plans to narrow its focus and sell part of its spectrum holdings to T-Mobile US. Following a strategic review, the mobile operator has decided to focus on West Virginia and the western part of Virginia where its market presence is strongest and exit the eastern Virginia market. Its 1,900 MHz band spectrum in the Hampton Roads/Norfolk and Richmond markets will be sold to T-mobile for USD 50.6 million cash. Pending FCC approval, the transaction is expected to close in April 2015. Ntelos will wind down its network and retail operations in its eastern markets over the next year and transition its subscribers to another, unnamed carrier. The shutdown is expected to cost around USD 55 million. In the western markets, Ntelos plans to strengthen its position with the expansion of LTE services, improved retail performance and enhanced service capabilities. The western markets already represent 59 percent of its customers and 69 percent of its cell sites. In addition, Ntelos said it's exploring potential opportunities to monetize other non-core assets, including the sale of owned towers and undeployed spectrum.
