Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 18, 2012, Zayo Group, LLC (the “Company”) and Zayo Capital, Inc. (“Zayo Capital”) announced that in connection with their cash tender offer for any and all their $350 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior Secured First-Priority Notes (the “Notes”) and related consent solicitation to amend certain provisions of the Indenture dated as of March 12, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”) governing the Notes, the Company, Zayo Capital, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, executed a Seventh Supplemental Indenture on June 15, 2012 (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture”). The Seventh Supplemental Indenture was entered into to implement amendments for which consents from the holders of at least 75% in principal amount of the Notes were received in connection with the tender offer and consent solicitation. The amendments contained in the Seventh Supplement Indenture eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and certain of the events of default in the Indenture and release the collateral securing the obligations under the Notes. The Seventh Supplemental Indenture provides that although it became effective immediately upon its execution and delivery, the amendments contained therein and described above will not become operative until at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes are purchased in the tender offer.

The foregoing description of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Exhibit 99.1

ZAYO ANNOUNCES EARLY TENDER RESULTS OF CASH TENDER OFFER AND RELATED CONSENT SOLICITATION

LOUISVILLE, Colo. – June 18, 2012 – Zayo Group, LLC and Zayo Capital, Inc. (collectively, “Zayo”) announced today that in connection with their cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Tender Offer ”) for any and all of their $350 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior Secured First-Priority Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”), as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2012 (the “Consent Payment Deadline”), $347 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, which represented approximately 99% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Based on such tenders, consents have been validly delivered and not validly revoked in respect of more than 75% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (excluding any Notes owned by Zayo or its affiliates), which is sufficient to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”) that would eliminate most of the restrictive covenants, eliminate certain events of default applicable to the Notes and release all the collateral securing the obligations under the Notes. As a result, Zayo, the guarantors of the Notes and the trustee under the Indenture have executed a supplemental indenture to amend the Indenture to give effect to the proposed amendments, provided, however, that the proposed amendments will not become operative until Zayo purchases at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (excluding any Notes owned by Zayo or its affiliates) in the Tender Offer. Pursuant to the Tender Offer, withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2012. Notes tendered and consents delivered pursuant to the Tender Offer may no longer be withdrawn.

The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated June 4, 2012 (as amended, the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related letter of transmittal and consent. The Tender Offer will expire at midnight (one minute after 11:59 p.m.), New York City time, on June 29, 2012, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”).

Holders who validly tendered their Notes and provided their consents to the proposed amendments to the Indenture at or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline are eligible to receive the total consideration offered in the Tender Offer equaling $1,112.74 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline, but at or prior to the Expiration Time, will be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration offered in the Tender Offer, which equals $1,082.74 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, but will not be eligible to receive the consent payment. In addition, holders whose Notes are purchased in the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on their purchased Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such Notes.

Zayo may choose to settle any Notes tendered at or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline prior to the Expiration Time. Regardless of whether any Notes are settled prior to the Expiration Time, the final settlement date for the Tender Offer will be promptly after the Expiration Time, and is expected to be July 2, 2012, the next business day following the Expiration Time. Zayo may retire any Notes that are not tendered in the Tender Offer in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, which may include, but is not limited to, redeeming the Notes or satisfying and discharging the Notes.


The Tender Offer is being made in connection with Zayo’s acquisition of AboveNet, Inc. (the “Acquisition”). The Tender Offer is subject to a number of conditions that are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including, without limitation, (i) the consummation of the Acquisition, (ii) the receipt of the required consents to adopt all of the proposed amendments and supplement the Indenture, (iii) the execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture effecting such amendments by the applicable parties and (iv) obtaining satisfactory financing arrangements in an amount that, when combined with cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund the purchase price for the Acquisition and pay the total consideration of the Notes tendered in the Tender Offer, all as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.

We have engaged Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC to act as the dealer manager and solicitation agent for the Tender Offer and D.F. King & Co., Inc. to serve as the tender agent and information agent for the Tender Offer.

Requests for documents may be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc. by telephone at (800) 967-4607 (toll-free) (banks and brokerage firms please call (212) 269-5550). Questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer may be directed to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC by telephone at (800) 624-1808 (toll-free) and (212) 761-1057 (collect).

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to purchase or a solicitation of consents with respect to any Notes. The Tender Offer is being made solely by the Offer to Purchase and the related letter of transmittal and consent, which sets forth the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is not being made to holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
