            Cable One’s Strategic Partnership with Mega Broadband

            On December 20, 2024, Cable One, Inc. (“Cable One”) announced that it has entered into definitive agreements to amend its strategic partnership with Mega Broadband Investments (“MBI”). The strategic partnership provides Cable One with a path for a potential acquisition of all the MBI equity it does not already own pursuant to put option and call option arrangements between Cable One and the other MBI equity holders.

The transaction is valued at approximately $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion, inclusive of upfront payments made by Cable One and initial estimates of option exercise closing payments and related debt assumption, based on an assumed October 1, 2026 option exercise closing.

MBI is a leading provider of broadband services across the Southeast, Northwest and Mid‑South United States and offers an extensive range of broadband, fiber connectivity, cable television and voice services for commercial and residential customers.
