Consequently, FiberNet is proceeding with a sale to Zayo Group for $11.45 per share in cash. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition. The transaction is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2009.
FiberNet owns and operates integrated colocation facilities and diverse transport routes in the gateway markets of New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami.
