September 20, 2025
Uniti Group Inc. and New Windstream, LLC jointly announced that they have obtained all necessary regulatory approvals to complete their previously announced merger. The final approval came from the California Public Utilities Commission, following prior receipt of all other state and federal regulatory clearances. Uniti stockholders had already approved the merger on April 2, 2025. With all approvals in place, Uniti and Windstream anticipate the merger to be completed after market close on or around August 1, 2025. This milestone clears the path for the creation of a unified, premier insurgent fiber provider, poised to accelerate high-capacity connectivity. Uniti also received a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of a post-closing restructuring. This ruling is expected to result in a step-up in the tax basis of certain of the company’s assets following the merger, providing a significant financial benefit.
