PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE 2017 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 15, 2017

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of ATN International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for use at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 15, 2017, at 9:00 a.m. ET, or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

We are mailing this proxy statement together with our Annual Letter to Stockholders, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (excluding exhibits) and a proxy card or voting instruction for the Annual Meeting on or about April 28, 2017.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 15, 2017: This Proxy Statement and our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available at http://ir.atni.com/financials.cfm.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 21, 2017 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 16,190,797 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, were outstanding, with each share entitled to one vote. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares. As a beneficial owner, you may direct your broker or other holder of record on how to vote your owned shares by following their instructions.

You may vote your shares held of record either by attending the meeting and voting in person or by proxy. To vote in person, you must attend the Annual Meeting and cast your vote. You do not need to register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting. If you choose to vote by proxy, you must complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. No postage is necessary if the proxy card is mailed in the United States. If you vote by mail and your proxy card is received in time for voting and not revoked, your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions as set forth on your signed proxy card. If no instructions are indicated, the shares represented by the proxy card will be voted by the proxy holders as follows:

If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, they will give you separate instructions for voting your shares and you must make arrangements with your broker, bank or other nominee in advance of the Annual Meeting to vote your shares in person.

The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, whether present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders present may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time, without notice, other than by announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting. Abstentions, votes withheld and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 1, the election of each director nominee, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting regarding such director nominee's election.

Proposal 2, the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote on the matter.

Proposal 3, the advisory vote to determine the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers, requires an affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares cast and entitled to vote on the matter.

Proposal 4, the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditor for 2017, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

We will not count shares that abstain from voting ("abstentions") on a particular matter as votes in favor of such matter. Similarly, we will not count broker non-votes as votes in favor of such matter. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker cannot vote a customer's shares registered in the broker's name because the customer did not send the broker instructions on how to vote on the matter and the broker is prohibited by law or stock exchange regulations from exercising its discretionary voting authority in the particular matter. Accordingly, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of voting on Proposals 1, 2 or 3. Brokers will be entitled to vote a customer's shares in their discretion on Proposal 4, so there will be no broker non-votes on that proposal. However, abstentions will be considered to be votes present and entitled to vote on Proposals 1 and 4, and they will have the effect of a vote against these proposals. Inspectors of election appointed by our Board will tabulate votes.

A proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by delivering a written revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date to ATN International, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 500 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915. A proxy may also be revoked by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must make arrangements with your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke your proxy.

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting, and we will publish preliminary, or final results if available, in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the Annual Meeting. If final results are unavailable at the time we file the Form 8-K, then we will file an amended report on Form 8-K to disclose the final voting results within four business days after the final voting results are known. In addition, we are required to file on a Current Report on Form 8-K no later than the earlier of 180 calendar days after the Annual Meeting or 60 calendar days prior to the deadline for submission of stockholder proposals set forth on page 38 of this proxy statement under the heading "Stockholder Proposals for 2017 Annual Meeting" our decision on how frequently we will include a stockholder vote on the compensation of our named executive officers in our proxy materials.

We will bear all costs of solicitation of proxies. In addition to solicitations by mail, our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail, facsimile and personal interviews. We will request brokers, banks, and other holders of record to forward proxy soliciting material to beneficial owners. We will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of the proxy materials. In addition, we will engage Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Inc. to assist in the distribution of proxy materials to banks, brokers, nominees and intermediaries at an estimated cost of approximately $14,500 for any such services, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, all Section 16(a) reports applicable to our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were timely filed except as described below.

Mr. Kreisher filed a late Form 4 on each of February 17, 2016 and August 29, 2016, each reporting one transaction. On May 27, 2016, Mr. Fougere filed a late Form 4 reporting one transaction.

Stockholders are being asked to elect the following seven members to our Board of Directors to hold office until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified, subject to their earlier retirement, resignation or removal:

Cornelius B. Prior, Jr.
Martin L. Budd
Bernard J. Bulkin
Michael T. Flynn
Liane J. Pelletier
Michael T. Prior
Charles J. Roesslein

Each nominee has consented to his or her nomination and is expected to stand for election. However, if any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve, proxies will be voted for a replacement candidate nominated by our Board. Biographical information for each of the nominees is set forth below under "Director and Nominee Experience and Qualifications."

Each director nominee must be elected by an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote regarding such director nominee's election. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the elections.

If a director nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast regarding his or her election, such nominee would be required to submit an irrevocable resignation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, and the committee would make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board would then act on the resignation, taking into account the committee's recommendation, and publicly disclose (by filing an appropriate disclosure with the SEC) its decision regarding the resignation within 90 days following certification of the election results. The committee in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, each may consider any factors and other information that they consider appropriate and relevant.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THESE NOMINEES.

Our Board is providing stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related materials contained in this proxy. This proposal, also commonly referred to as a "Say on Pay" vote, gives our stockholders the opportunity to indicate whether they approve of or do not approve of our executive compensation policies and programs and the compensation actually paid to our named executive officers. This resolution is required pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act. We currently provide our stockholders the opportunity to indicate whether they approve of the compensation of our named executive officers every three years.

Please review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 21 and the accompanying tabular and other disclosures on executive compensation beginning on page 28, and cast a vote either to endorse or not endorse our executive compensation program. A vote "For" this proposal is an advisory vote approving the compensation of our named executive officers, including our compensation practices and principles and their implementation, as discussed and disclosed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's compensation disclosure rules in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and any narrative executive compensation disclosure contained in this proxy statement.

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe our executive compensation programs use appropriate structures and policies that are effective in achieving our Company goals and objectives. Accordingly, the Board recommends that you vote in favor of the following resolution:

The Say on Pay vote is advisory in nature, and therefore, it is not binding on our Compensation Committee or Board. Although the vote is non-binding, our Compensation Committee will review the voting results, seek to determine the cause or causes of any significant negative voting, and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation programs.

The approval, on an advisory and non-binding basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

The following proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to inform us as to how often you wish the Company to include a "Say on Pay" proposal (similar to Proposal 2) in our Proxy Statement. This resolution is required pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act. You may elect to have the vote held every year, every two years or every three years, or you may abstain. While our Board intends to carefully consider the stockholder vote resulting from the proposal when making decisions regarding the inclusion of "Say on Pay" proposals in future proxy statements, the final vote is advisory in nature and will be non-binding. At least once every six years, stockholders will be asked to vote on the frequency with which a "Say on Pay" proposal should be included in future proxy statements.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years. We believe that a triennial vote on executive compensation will provide stockholders with a more accurate window for evaluating Company performance trends and allow our Board the time for more thoughtful analysis in weighing our compensation policies against the Company's performance. We believe in taking a long term approach to operating our Company's business, and believe that our approach to management compensation should mirror this strategy. By reviewing executive compensation every three years, stockholders will have the benefit of multiple performance periods to better evaluate the way our Board has measured executive compensation against Company performance over that time period.

The Stockholders will indicate their selection, on an advisory and non-binding basis, the frequency with which "Say on Pay" proposals are included in future proxy statements by a plurality of the votes cast.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE TO APPROVE AN ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OCCURRING EVERY THREE YEARS.

Ms. Pelletier was selected to serve as a director on our Board due to her expertise in the telecommunications industry, her history as a chief executive officer and her experience in guiding and advising on business strategy.

Michael T. Prior, 52, has been our President and Chief Executive Officer since December 2005 and an officer of the Company since June 2003. He was elected to the Board in May 2008. Previous to joining the Company, Mr. Prior was a partner with Q Advisors LLC, a Denver based investment banking and financial advisory firm focused on the technology and telecommunications sectors. Mr. Prior began his career as a corporate attorney with Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LP in London and New York. He received a B.A. degree from Vassar College and a J.D. degree summa cum laude from Brooklyn Law School. Mr. Prior currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Competitive Carriers Association. In 2008, Mr. Prior was named Entrepreneur of the Year for the New England Region by Ernst & Young LLP and One of America's Best CEOs by DeMarche Associates, Inc.

Mr. M. Prior was selected to serve as a director on our Board due to his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his broad experience in the telecommunications industry.

Charles J. Roesslein, 68, has been a director of ours since April 2002 and is the Chair of our Audit Committee and a member of our Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. He has been a director of National Instruments Corporation since July 2000 and is the Co-Founder of Austin Tele-Services Partners, LP, a telecommunications provider, for whom he served as Chief Executive Officer from 2004 to January 2016. He is a retired officer of SBC Communications. Mr. Roesslein previously served as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of Prodigy Communications Corporation from June of 2000 until December of 2000. He served as President and Chief Executive Officer of SBC-CATV from October 1999 until May 2000, and as President and Chief Executive Officer of SBC Technology Resources from August 1997 to October 1999.

Mr. Roesslein was selected to serve as a director on our Board due to his financial expertise, and previous and current senior positions held with other telecommunications companies. Mr. Roesslein is qualified as an "audit committee financial expert" under SEC guidelines.

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as our independent auditor to perform the audit of our financial statements and of our internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. In making its selection, the Audit Committee conducted a review of PwC's performance, including consideration of the following:

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders ratify the selection of PwC as our independent auditor. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of PwC to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent auditor. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent auditor at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

The ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent auditor for 2017 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will be considered to be votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal and, therefore, they will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. Brokers will be entitled to vote a customer's shares in their discretion on this proposal, so there will be no broker non-votes on this proposal.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR.

The role of the Board of Directors is to ensure that we are managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. The Board periodically reviews and advises management with respect to our annual operating plans and strategic initiatives. The Board has adopted corporate governance principles to assure full and complete compliance with all applicable corporate governance standards.

During the past year, we have reviewed our corporate governance practices in comparison to the practices of other public companies and to ensure they comport with guidance and interpretations provided by the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

We have adopted a written Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees and agents, including, but not limited to, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Ethics, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, Compensation Committee Charter and Audit Committee Charter are available on our website at ir.atni.com and may be obtained free of charge upon request by writing to us at ATN International, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 500 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915.

Our Board of Directors is committed to maintaining responsible and effective corporate governance and is focused on the interests of our stockholders. The Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, as the Board believes it is in our best interests to make this determination based on an assessment of the current condition of our Company and composition of the Board. It has determined that its leadership structure, including Mr. Cornelius B. Prior, Jr. serving as Chairman, our Chief Executive Officer serving as a director, and the composition of independent directors for each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board, best serves the Company and its stockholders at this time. Our Board brings strong leadership and industry expertise to inform the management and direction of the Company on behalf of our stockholders. Mr. C.B. Prior, Jr., who has served as our Chairman since 1997, was also our Chief Executive Officer until December 2005. He, together with related entities, affiliates and family members, controls approximately 27% of our outstanding common stock, possesses extensive investment and financial management experience and has a long history and familiarity with the Company and many of its Caribbean operating markets. Management and the Board of Directors work together to try to focus the Board on major questions of governance, succession and setting the Company's overall operating and investment strategy.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers director nominees, whether proposed by a stockholder or identified through the Company's processes, in accordance with its charter and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as currently in effect. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not rely on a fixed set of qualifications for director nominees but applies general criteria intended to ensure that the Board includes members with significant breadth of experience, knowledge and abilities as well as financial and industry expertise to assist the Board in performing its duties. Minimum qualifications for director nominees include: a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards; demonstrated business acumen, experience and judgment related to the objectives of the Company; and the commitment to understand the Company and its industry and actively participate in Board deliberations. While our Board does not have a formal diversity policy, it recognizes that a diversity of viewpoints and practical experiences can enhance the effectiveness of the Board. Accordingly, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers nominees based on their differences of viewpoint, professional experience,

education, skill and other characteristics that are relevant to the current needs of the Company, including those that promote diversity. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then recommends director nominees to the Board for its consideration and nomination at the next annual meeting of stockholders.

In selecting director nominees pursuant to the Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates submitted by stockholders and evaluates such candidates in the same manner and using the same criteria as all other director nominee candidates. To submit a director nominee candidate, stockholders should submit the following information: (a) the candidate's name, age and address, (b) a brief statement of the reasons the candidate would be an effective director, (c) the candidate's principal occupation or employment for the past five years and information about any positions on the board of directors of other companies, (d) any business or other significant relationship the candidate has had with us and (e) the name and address of the stockholder making the submission. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also seek additional information regarding the director nominee candidate and the stockholder making the submission. All submissions of director nominee candidates made by stockholders should be sent to ATN International, Inc., Attn: Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, 500 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915 and must comply with applicable timing requirements.

Nasdaq rules require that a majority of our directors be "independent" and that we maintain a minimum three-person audit committee and a two-person compensation committee whose members satisfy heightened independence requirements. A director qualifies as "independent" if our Board, upon the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship with us, an affiliate of ours, or otherwise that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in discharging his or her duties as a director. Nasdaq rules preclude an affirmative determination by the Board that a director is independent if:

Based on the Nasdaq rules, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board has determined that Messrs. Budd, Flynn and Roesslein, Dr. Bulkin and Ms. Pelletier are independent for purposes of SEC rules and Nasdaq listing compliance. This determination included reviewing the following relationships and transactions with Mr. Budd, which our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board concluded did not affect his independence:

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed and discussed the Director Nomination Process and Director Independence disclosure and, based on such review and discussions, we recommended to the Board that (i) these disclosures be included in this Proxy Statement and (ii) that each of the persons listed in Proposal 1, "Election of Directors," be nominated by the Board for election as a director of the Company.

In accordance with Nasdaq requirements, our Audit Committee has the primary responsibility for the oversight of risk management and risk assessment, including the Company's major financial risk exposures and the steps management has undertaken to control such risks. Our Board of Directors remains actively involved in such oversight of risk management and assessment and receives periodic presentations from our executive officers and certain of their direct reports, as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate. This includes discussions of the Company's balance sheet and capital structure in light of potential capital needs and projections of operating cash flows and the risks to such cash flows. While the Board of Directors maintains such oversight responsibility, management is responsible for the day-to-day risk management processes and makes detailed recommendations on sources and uses of capital. The Board of Directors believes this division of responsibility is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company. As a general matter, management and the Board of Directors seek to mitigate major risks to the Company's financial condition by striving to maintain a level of debt to annual operating cash flows that allows the Company to survive short-term unforeseen reductions in cash flow or unanticipated large capital spending needs. To date, the Board of Directors believes that the Company has maintained a more conservative level of debt (relative to cash flows) than most of its peers in the telecommunications industry.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our management, in consultation with the Board, reviewed the Company's compensation policies and practices for employees generally as they relate to risk management. As part of this process, management reviewed the Company's cash and equity incentive compensation plans and practices applicable to all employees to determine whether such programs

create incentives that might motivate inappropriate or excessive risk-taking. In the course of such review, the following mitigating features of the Company's incentive compensation programs were considered: (1) the Company's focus on multiple year vesting periods for all equity compensation, including the restricted stock awards made for 2016 achievements; (2) management's practice of conservative awards of annual cash bonus payments; (3) the relatively low level and intermittent awards of stock options to senior management; and (4) the use of restricted stock awards to encourage management to balance "upside" and "downside" risk. As a result of this process, there were no recommended changes to the Company's incentive compensation programs.

To communicate with our Audit Committee regarding issues or complaints about questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, contact the Audit Committee by writing to Audit Committee, ATN International, Inc., 500 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915.

To send communications to the Board or to individual directors, stockholders should write to Board of Directors, ATN International, Inc., 500 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915. All communications received will be directly sent to the Board or to individual members of our Board, as addressed.

During 2016, our Board met four times either by conference call or in person. In 2016, no director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the Board or the meetings of the committee(s) on which he or she served. Although we do not have a policy requiring our directors to attend the Annual Meeting, all of our then-current directors attended last year's annual meeting of stockholders.

Our Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The current membership of each committee is as follows:

All members of these committees are independent as defined in the listing standards of Nasdaq. Copies of the charters of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as adopted and amended by our Board, are available in the "Corporate Governance" section of our website at ir.atni.com.

During 2016, the Audit Committee met eight times either by conference call or in person, including several meetings without members of management or the Company's independent auditors. The functions of the Audit Committee include:

Our Board has determined that each current member of the Audit Committee meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq. It has also determined that Mr. Roesslein, who is currently the Chair of the Audit Committee and a director nominee for re-election, qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under the rules of the SEC and meets the financial sophistication requirements of Nasdaq. In addition, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has determined that each of the current members of our Audit Committee meet the Nasdaq and SEC standards for audit committee member independence.

The Compensation Committee met four times during 2016, and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee consulted and met several times with the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also met once during 2017 to discuss 2016 compensation and bonus awards. The functions of the Compensation Committee include:

The Compensation Committee meets several times each year to carry out these responsibilities. Early in the year, the Compensation Committee begins its analysis by reviewing the compensation trends and practices of the Company's identified peer group as well as any other entities that the Compensation Committee may deem relevant against the current compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's other executive officers. This year, the Compensation Committee again retained Compensia, a compensation consultant, to re-evaluate and make recommendations as to the Company's peer group as well as consult on executive and director compensation trends. Following this review, the Chief Executive Officer typically meets with the Chairman of the Compensation Committee in order to discuss the draft compensation recommendations, performance analysis and future objectives of each of the executive officers of the Company and finalizes, with the Chairman, a memorandum detailing the Company's performance and individual executive officer performance for the year before providing it to the Compensation Committee. Upon the request of the Compensation Committee, the Chief Executive Officer may engage in a detailed discussion of the performance of an executive officer or a manager of the Company's key operating units. The Compensation Committee has been authorized by the Board of Directors to delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the power to make limited awards under the Company's 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan") to employees of the Company. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has determined that each of the current members of our Compensation Committee meets the independence requirements under Nasdaq and SEC standards for director independence.

The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer in an executive session following its review of the CEO's performance against his goals for the year, the growth and performance of the Company, his leadership skills for the previous year, his self-analysis for the prior year's performance, and any other relevant factors.

Our Board has determined that each of the current members of the Compensation Committee meet the Nasdaq and SEC standards for committee member independence.

For further information about the Compensation Committee's practices, please see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," under "Executive Officer Compensation," below.

During or prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, no member of our Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of ours or our subsidiaries or, to our knowledge, had relationships requiring disclosure under the SEC rules. In making these statements, we have relied in part upon representations of those directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board met four times in 2016. To date, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has met once in 2017 to discuss

nominations for elections of directors and for committee membership on our Board. The functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include:

Our Board has determined that each of the current members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meet the Nasdaq and SEC standards for committee member independence.

PwC has audited our accounts since 2002. Our Audit Committee has appointed PwC to be our independent auditor for 2017 and we are asking stockholders to ratify this appointment in Proposal 4. The services provided by PwC in 2017 are expected to include, in addition to performing the consolidated audit, audits of certain subsidiaries; review of quarterly reports; issuance of letters to underwriters in connection with registration statements, if any, we may file with the SEC and consultation on accounting, financial reporting, tax and related matters. A representative of PwC is expected to be at the meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and respond to questions.

The following table presents the aggregate fees for professional services rendered to us by PwC for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

In accordance with its written charter, our Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services, including the scope of contemplated services and the related fees that are to be performed by PwC, our independent auditor. The Audit Committee's pre-approval of non-audit services involves consideration of the impact of providing such services on PwC's independence. The Audit Committee is also responsible for ensuring that any approved non-audit services are disclosed to stockholders in our reports filed with the SEC.

As members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of ATN International, Inc., we have reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61.

The Audit Committee received from PwC the written disclosures and letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding their communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, discussed PwC's independence with PwC and satisfied itself as to PwC's independence.

We have also concluded that the provision of services by PwC not related to the audit of the financial statements referred to above and to the reviews of the interim financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016, was compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, we have recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements referred to above be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and maintaining the compensation program for our executive officers. For the purposes of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, "executive officers" and "executives" means the individuals who served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, as well as the other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table below.

The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to our long-term success and to maintain a reasonably competitive compensation structure as compared with similarly situated companies. We seek to align compensation with the achievement of business objectives and individual and Company performance. The annual cash bonus opportunity together with equity compensation that we provide our executive officers are our main incentive compensation tools to accomplish this alignment, as described below.

A core principle of our compensation philosophy is that a successful compensation program requires the application of judgment and subjective determinations of individual performance. While we do assign an indicative weight to individual and general Company performance in determining an executive officer's compensation, we do not apply a strictly formulaic or mathematical approach to our compensation program. Our Compensation Committee retains discretion to apply its judgment to adjust and align each individual element of our compensation program with the broader objectives of our compensation program and the overall performance and condition of our company at the time final compensation decisions are made. We believe that our relatively lean management structure, the level of communications between our Board of Directors and our senior management team and our corporate culture make this approach an effective method of determining compensation.

Our Compensation Committee does consider the compensation of executive officers at other companies in order to assess the compensation that we offer our executive officers, as discussed below.

Our Compensation Committee has retained the advisory services of Compensia, Inc. ("Compensia"), a national executive compensation consulting firm. For the past three years Compensia has assisted us with the identification of a relevant peer group and competitive market compensation data regarding the compensation of our named executive officers and directors as compared to such group. Compensia does not generally provide any other services to the Compensation Committee, except as may be requested from time to time with respect to specific matters and as described below.

This past year, the Compensation Committee asked Compensia to gather peer group data, give advice on any possible changes based on that data and update the Compensation Committee on recent or pending changes to the rules and industry trends on executive compensation.

Compensia works at the direction of, and reports directly to, the Compensation Committee, which may replace the compensation consultant or hire additional advisors at any time. Compensia does not perform any services for the Company unless directed to do so by the Compensation Committee. Based on the consideration of the various factors set forth in the rules of the SEC, the Compensation Committee does not believe that its relationship with Compensia and the work of Compensia on behalf of the Compensation Committee has raised any conflicts of interest, and the Compensation Committee believes that Compensia is independent.

Generally, we seek to offer executive compensation that is reasonably competitive with telecommunications and to a lesser extent, renewable energy companies of a similar size. Defining a relevant "peer group" for us has been historically difficult because we have the complexity and geographic diversity (and attendant travel demands) of large multi-national companies but have similar total revenues and market capitalization to companies that tend to be focused on a very limited geographic area and provide limited services. Nonetheless, we believe that comparisons to certain other companies can provide us with a useful basic check, mainly for the compensation of our named executive officers and directors.

For 2016, our Compensation Committee referred to the executive compensation paid at the following group of companies:

Our Compensation Committee believed that these companies provided us with helpful indicators of competitive executive compensation levels and pay mix because, as a group, they had the following characteristics that are similar to ours: (1) they are telecommunications or solar companies; (2) several of them have both wireless and wireline operations; (3) several of them are of similar size to the Company; and (4) several have a mix of domestic and international operations. However, our Compensation Committee regards comparisons of us to these companies as reference points only—as such, we did not seek to establish any benchmark in reference to these companies or to require changes in our executive compensation to match changes in those companies' compensation.

At the end of the year, our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the performance of our other executive officers and makes compensation recommendations to our Compensation Committee based upon those evaluations. Our Board has delegated to our Compensation Committee full discretion in its determination of the compensation to be paid to our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers, including discretion to modify the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer in determining the type and amounts of compensation paid to each executive officer. The Compensation Committee interacts directly with the Chief Executive Officer to evaluate his performance, in addition to conducting its own independent assessment of his performance and the performance of the Company during the year.

Other than as described below, our Compensation Committee does not have any specific policies or targets for the allocation or "pay mix" of these compensation elements.

We seek to set the base salary of each executive at a level that is competitive, taking into account the overall compensation history of the particular executive and our other executives and the base salaries paid by similarly situated companies. In addition to merit-based changes when warranted, our Compensation Committee generally believes that base salaries should increase annually at a rate that is slightly above or below cost-of-living adjustments, as represented by indicators like the Consumer Price Index. In addition to merit- based changes, larger increases (or decreases) may be made based on a change in the responsibilities of the executive. Factors such as the expansion or contraction of the Company and the financial condition and prospects of the Company may also influence the amount of annual salary adjustments. From time to time, comparative market factors also may cause the Compensation Committee to make increases above or below the normal cost-of-living adjustment.

Below is a chart showing the base salary rates for 2016 for our named executive officers, in comparison to those in effect in 2015. For 2016, due to the decline in the Company's operating income, the Committee did not increase the CEO's base salary and kept increases for the other named executive officers at approximately 1% other than for Mr. Fougere as explained below. For 2017, the Committee decided to resume basic cost-of-living increases for the executive officers.


Named Executive Officer	2016		2015		Annualized Percent Increase from 2015
Michael T. Prior	$	590,000		$	590,000	0.0	%
Justin D. Benincasa	$	351,000		$	348,000	0.9	%
Barry C. Fougere	$	261,000		$	258,000	1.2	%
William F. Kreisher	$	258,000		$	255,000	1.2	%
Leonard Q. Slap	$	278,000		$	275,000	1.1	%

On May 20, 2016, the two-year anniversary of Mr. Fougere's hiring, the Company promoted Mr. Fougere to Executive Vice President and adjusted Mr. Fougere's base salary from $261,000 per year to $300,000 per year. As a part of that promotion, Mr. Fougere may receive higher than the typical increases in 2017 and 2018 as the Compensation Committee evaluates his performance following his promotion and the change in his responsibilities.

We believe that a substantial bonus opportunity, as measured as a percentage of the executive's base salary, motivates executive performance because it makes a significant amount of the executive's overall compensation contingent upon individual and company performance. Further, such approach enables the Company to avoid a higher fixed cost of annual base salaries and gives us the ability to control a major piece of compensation expense if the Company ever experiences a business reversal.

For 2016, the annual bonus opportunity for our named executive officers was as follows:

At the end of the year, the Compensation Committee makes an overall assessment of the quality of each executive officer's performance during the year. For executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, this assessment is based largely on discussions between the Compensation Committee and the Chief Executive Officer. As noted above, the Compensation Committee interacts directly with the Chief Executive Officer to evaluate his performance, in addition to conducting its own independent assessment of his performance and the performance of the Company during the year. For 2016, the target amounts of the bonuses, other than with respect to Mr. Fougere as a result of his promotion, were unchanged from 2015 levels, based upon the Compensation Committee's assessment that such targets were reasonable and appropriate.

Although broad performance objectives are identified at the beginning of each year as a means to align individual behavior with Company objectives, it is communicated to each executive that the Compensation Committee always has the full discretion to determine the extent to which bonuses will be paid or not, regardless of the achievement of any such objectives. For executive officers, the actual amount of annual cash bonus awarded for 2016 was based on a highly subjective review of a number of factors that are each assigned a recommended weight for each executive, which varies based on the roles and duties of each individual. In general, the Compensation Committee believes that the annual bonuses should be tied to overall Company performance such as significant strategic developments (as assessed by the Compensation Committee) and financial performance, particularly for the most senior members of our management team, such as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Our corporate performance has historically been reviewed by reference to year over year consolidated Company performance and our Compensation Committee will take note of additional significant overall Company achievements or weaknesses which may or may not have impacted or been reflected in the Company's financial or operational results. For 2016, the weight assigned to each performance factor generally ranged from approximately 35-50% for Company operational and financial performance, 35-50% for individual achievements, including accomplishment of individual goals set for the 2016 fiscal year, and 15% for general individual performance, including overall quality of the individual's work performance throughout the year. While these weight ranges are presented to the Compensation Committee by our Chief Executive Officer as a guide in connection with his assessment of our executives' performance during the year, actual bonus awards are subject to the Compensation Committee's discretion to increase or decrease such amount or weight range for each performance metric based on the Compensation Committee's review of such individual's performance and relevant job responsibilities. For the Chief Executive Officer, the Committee generally assigns a higher weight to Company performance than the foregoing range indicates.

Typically, the Company has paid bonuses at levels at or below the target opportunity with the Compensation Committee treating the bonus opportunity percentage as more of a ceiling. For 2016, we paid the annual bonuses to our named executive officers described under the column entitled "Bonus" in the Summary Compensation Table for the reasons described below.

Our Chief Executive Officer was paid an annual bonus of $590,000, representing 100% of his 2016 annual bonus opportunity. In addition to its own favorable assessment of the Chief Executive Officer's performance, the Compensation Committee took particular note of the Company's growth, owing in large part to the close of two major new strategic investments in existing markets, and the continued advancement of the Company's strategic plan including improvements in scale, focus, expertise and leadership at various levels of operations, further expansion in renewable energy investments and continued discipline in examining additional investments in both the telecommunications and energy sectors.

In reviewing with the Chief Executive Officer the recommendations for annual bonuses to be paid to the other executives, the Compensation Committee considered each officer's contribution to

achieving the Company's financial performance and continued growth, using the weight ranges described above as a general guide.

Our Chief Financial Officer was paid an annual bonus of $262,000, or 100% of his 2016 annual bonus opportunity. The Committee viewed his individual performance very favorably, particularly his work around the integration from a finance, accounting, tax and reporting perspective of three major new businesses in three separate offshore markets and his work on improving cost discipline and operating in a number of areas within the company and its operating subsidiaries.

The Compensation Committee determined to pay the following annual bonuses to the other named executive officers and took particular note of the additional factors described below:

Under our 2008 Plan, we may grant stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards to our directors, consultants and employees, including our executive officers. Awards made under the 2008 Plan may be granted subject to conditions and restrictions, including vesting requirements, achievement of performance goals and forfeiture and recapture of shares upon certain events. Our Compensation Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, grants awards to our employees under our 2008 Plan. Our Chief Executive Officer also has authority to make limited grants under the 2008 Plan to employees of the Company.

In addition to annual equity awards to our officers, we have awarded significant equity compensation in connection with the hiring or promotions of executive officers. For new hires, the awards typically are made at the next regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meeting following the hire or promotion. In general, we have awarded restricted stock and stock options with time-based vesting schedules of four years, and, in the case of stock options, have a term of ten years. Since 2013, the majority of the equity awards granted by the Compensation Committee has been in the form of restricted stock and it has not issued option awards to our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes that given the Company's disciplined, long-term approach to its investing and operating strategy and its practice of providing a current return to stockholders in the form of dividends, restricted stock is a better tool for aligning, incentivizing, retaining and rewarding our executive officers at this time although it continues to consider stock option awards and other equity-linked incentives from time to time.

On March 8, 2017, the Compensation Committee granted the following equity compensation to the Company's named executive officers as compensation for each executive's 2016 achievements, as described in our "Annual Cash Bonus" disclosure above:

In approving the annual cash bonus and equity incentive awards, the Compensation Committee assesses the risks associated with the adoption of these awards, including the performance measures and goals for the awards, and concluded that the stock grant awards described above would not be likely to encourage excessive risk taking, as the restricted stock awards vest ratably over a period of four years. While the Compensation Committee believes it is an important policy of the Board to seek to keep the aggregate shares underlying outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock at a reasonable level in relation to our outstanding equity (calculated on a fully diluted basis), we believe that equity compensation will remain a critical recruitment, retention and incentive tool.

In 2008, we adopted a deferred compensation plan for our then existing executives. This plan is intended to provide retirement income to our executive officers. It was adopted to offset a reduction in our annual contributions to these executives' accounts under our 401(k) retirement plan that we instituted as a result of the consolidation of our 401(k) plan with similar plans of companies that we acquired. Under this plan, we make quarterly credits equal to 8% of the executive's then current base salary to an account on behalf of the executive. In addition to these quarterly credits, we may make additional credits in our sole discretion. See the description of the deferred compensation plan under the caption Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan Transactions in 2016 for more information. Executives hired after 2008 do not participate in this plan. Except for this plan, our executive officers currently do not receive any benefits, including retirement, medical and dental, life and disability insurance, which are not also available to all of our employees.

In 2016, we entered into severance agreements with each of our named executive officers. These severance agreements provide each executive with severance pay upon termination as described therein in exchange for standard covenants of confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-circumvention for a one year-period following termination and a standard release and waiver of claims. In the event of a termination by the Company without "cause" or by the executive for "good reason" and in the absence of a "change in control" (each as defined in the agreements), each executive would be entitled to (i) severance pay in the amount of one times his base salary (and in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, one and a half times his base salary) and (ii) COBRA continuation coverage at a rate equal to the rate paid by active employees during the twelve months following the termination (eighteen months in the case of the CEO). In the event of a termination by the Company without "cause" or by the executive for "good reason" either three months prior to or twelve months (eighteen months in the case of the CEO) following a change in control (as defined in the Executive Severance Agreements), such executive would be entitled to (i) severance pay in the amount of one times (and in the case of the CEO, one and a half times) his base salary, (ii) such

executive's maximum target incentive compensation for such year (and in the case of the CEO, one a half times such target), excluding any eligible amounts of equity compensation, (iii) COBRA continuation coverage at a rate equal to the rate paid by active employees during the twelve months following the termination (eighteen months in the case of the CEO) and (iv) the immediate vesting of all restricted stock or stock options held by such executive.

At the 2011 Annual Meeting, stockholders voted on a non-binding and advisory basis to hold an advisory vote of stockholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers every three years. We last conducted such an advisory vote in 2014, and stockholders are again being asked, on an advisory basis, to approve the compensation of our named executive officers at the 2017 Annual Meeting. At the 2014 Annual Meeting, more than 80% of the shares present, or present by proxy, and entitled to vote at the 2014 Annual Meeting approved our named executive officer compensation. While the approval in 2014 was advisory and non-binding in nature, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinion of stockholders and consider this outcome as an indication that stockholders agree that our executive compensation programs use appropriate structures and policies that are effective in achieving our Company's goals and objectives. As a consequence, the Compensation Committee has not made significant changes in our executive compensation programs as a result of the advisory vote.

Each member of the Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management and, based on such review and discussions, we recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

The table below summarizes the total compensation paid to, or earned by, each of our named executive officers for each of fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

The following table provides information regarding our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2016:

The following table sets forth contributions by us to our deferred compensation plan for fiscal 2016.

Effective as of December 5, 2008, we adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for our then existing executive officers. This plan is intended to provide retirement income to our executive officers and was adopted to offset a reduction in our annual contributions to those executives' accounts under our 401(k) retirement plan that we instituted as a result of the consolidation of our 401(k) plan with similar plans of companies that we acquired. Accordingly, we do not expect to add newly hired executives to this plan and Messrs. Slap and Fougere are not participants in the plan. Under this plan, we make quarterly credits equal to 8% of the executive officer's then current quarterly base salary to an account in the plan on behalf of the executive. In addition to these quarterly credits, the Compensation Committee may make additional credits in its sole discretion. Credits to such executive officer's account under the plan will be deemed to be invested in one or more investment funds selected by the executive officer from among alternatives approved by the Compensation Committee. Overall investment return is dependent upon the performance of each executive officer's selected investment alternatives. Credits will be fully vested at all times and the executive officers will have a nonforfeitable interest in the balance of their respective accounts. Benefits under the plan are payable upon a separation from service in a cash lump sum or in accordance with a fixed schedule elected by the executive officer. Distributions may be made prior to the executive officer's separation from service only for certain financial hardship reasons. The plan is intended to be compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to constitute a non-qualified, unfunded executive benefit plan.

We have entered into severance agreements with each of our named executive officers. For a description of these agreements, please see "—Severance Agreements" above. The following table sets forth the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to each of the named executive officers, upon termination or a termination following a change in control. The payments and benefits were calculated assuming that the triggering event took place on December 30, 2016, the last business day of our fiscal year, and using the closing market price of our common stock on that date ($80.13).

Our Compensation Committee has the responsibility of reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding director compensation. We use a combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified directors. In setting director compensation, we consider the time demand and the requisite knowledge and expertise required to effectively fulfill their duties and responsibilities to us and our stockholders. We also consider the compensation set by our peer companies in our determination of director compensation.

The table below summarizes the compensation paid to, or earned by, our non-employee directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Mr. M. Prior, our Chief Executive Officer, does not receive any compensation for his Board service beyond the compensation he receives as an executive officer of the Company.

The table below summarizes the compensation earned by each named director as of December 31, 2016:

(1): The amounts in this column reflect the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, of awards granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors Compensation Policy and our 2008 Plan.
(2): As compensation for Mr. Cornelius B. Prior, Jr.'s service as Chairman in 2016, we paid him an annual salary of $140,000, plus certain benefits which are included in "All Other Compensation", including $5,769 in matching contributions pursuant to our 401(k) plan, use of a company car and life insurance premiums. We also provided him with medical and dental benefits that are available to all of our employees. Mr. C.B. Prior, Jr. did not participate in any of our incentive compensation programs. In his capacity as Chairman, he did not receive an annual retainer, but did receive expense reimbursement available to all other directors.
(3): Mr. Bulkin joined our Board of Directors on March 1, 2016. These amounts include a retainer for the period of March 1, 2016 through June 21, 2016 of $15,500 in cash and $24,800 in stock.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, our non-employee directors (excluding our Chairman) received an annual retainer of $155,000 (consisting of $50,000 in cash and $105,000 in stock). In addition to the retainers, members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees (other than the Chairs of such committees) received additional annual payments of $10,000, $7,500 and $2,000, respectively, and the Chairs of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees received annual payments of $20,000, $15,000 and $6,000, respectively.

Our Board has a written Related Person Transaction Policy that sets forth our policies and procedures for the reporting, review, and approval or ratification of each related person transaction. Our Audit Committee is responsible for implementing this policy and determining whether any related person transaction is in our best interests. The policy applies to transactions and other relationships that would need to be disclosed in this proxy statement as related person transactions pursuant to SEC rules. In general, these transactions and relationships are defined as those involving a direct or indirect interest of any of our executive officers, directors, nominees for director and 5% stockholders, as well as specified members of the family or household of any of these individuals or stockholders, where we or any of our affiliates have participated in the transaction(s) as a direct party or by arranging the transaction(s) and the transaction(s) involves more than $100,000 in any calendar year. The policy also provides that certain types of transactions are deemed to be pre-approved or ratified, as applicable by our Audit Committee.

In October 2014, our U.S. Virgin Islands business, Choice Communications, LLC ("Choice"), entered into a tower lease with Tropical Telecom Ltd ("Tropical Telecom"), an entity 74% owned by Mr. C.B. Prior, Jr., our Chairman. When aggregated with amounts that Choice currently pays to Tropical Telecom for an existing tower lease entered into in April 2012, Choice will pay approximately $117,000 per year in rental payments to Tropical Telecom. Each tower lease has an initial term of five years, with two additional five year renewal periods and has provisions for an increase in rent, in the case of the April 2012 lease, by 5% each year and in the case of the October 2016 lease by 3% each year.

Our Audit Committee approved the specific structure and terms of the Choice lease, as negotiated by Choice management, and unanimously approved each of the arrangements described above in accordance with the terms of our Related Person Transaction Policy.

All suggestions from stockholders are given careful attention.
