PART III NARRATIVE
Lumos Networks Corp. (the Company) has determined that it is not able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the Form 10-K) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reasons described below.
The Company needs additional time to complete its internal control over financial reporting assessment and related disclosures with respect to an identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting due to insufficient review procedures over its accounting for certain financing arrangements in income taxes.
Notwithstanding the Companys inability to file the Form 10-K within the prescribed time period, the Company currently does not expect any changes to the results it previously reported in its press release dated March 8, 2017.
The Company expects to file the Form 10-K within the extension period of 15 calendar days as provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Companys expectation regarding the timing of the filing of the Form 10-K and the description of anticipated material changes from the results of operation from the corresponding period of the last fiscal year are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and actual events may differ from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the inability of the Company or its independent registered public accounting firm to complete the work necessary in order to file the Form 10-K in the time frame that is anticipated or unanticipated changes being reported in the Companys operating results as reported in the Form 10-K as filed. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

The Company currently anticipates that its financial statements to be included in its Form 10-K will report results of operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 materially consistent with the results of operations reported in the Press Release. The Press Release is incorporated herein by reference.
