Seller's counsel Cary Tepper emailed me below that, for some strange reason, the FCC granted the assignment application on March 6, but did not release it until last week. ln any event, both applications are now granted and we are in a position to close the transaction. Cary has inquired below whether Gee Communications would like to close on "final order," or close sooner. The contract provides that we can close anytime between 10 and 45 business days from the FCC's initial g,rant, with the option to extend closing until 10 business days afterthe FCC initial consent becomes a "final order." The FCC initial grant effective date was March 21, so the closing window under the contract is anytime from April 4-May 23, with the option to extend the closing date to a day that is 10 business days afterthe FCC's initial consent becomes a "final order." "Final order" is defined in the contract as "an Order of the FCC granting its consent and approval to the assignment . from Seller to Buyer, whlch is no longer subject to rehearing, reconsideration or review by the FCC, or to a request for stay, an appeal or review by any court under the Communications Act of 1934, or the Rules and Regulations of the FCC." This is a very standard definition for "final order." All things being equal, my recommendation is generally to wait until "final order" to close. That way, there is no risk that a petition for reconsideration will be filed or any other intervening administrative or appellate action will get in the way of the transaction. I doubt anything like this would interfere, but there i:; always some risk (even if small) if you close before final order. The final order date will be April 30. Would closing on May '1 suit you? We can always close earlier if you wish. There may be business reasons to close sooner. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. http z / I mail. aol. com/3 81 42 -ll1 I aol-6len-us/m aillPrintMessa ge. as px 3t24t2011 W246B.Z - Application for Minor Change CP - GRANTED Page 1 of2 From: Elizabeth Spainhour <ESPAINHOU [email protected]> To: Howard keller <[email protected]>; hopeb4all <[email protected]>; 'Danbra LLC' <[email protected]> Cc: Carol Heynen <[email protected]> Subject: W246BZ - Application for Minor Change CP - GRANTED Date: Tue, Mar 1 '1 ,2014 11 :03 am Attachments: W246BZ_-_Application_for_Minor_Change-CP---GRANTED-3-1 1-201 .pdf (35K) WSVS Team, Attached for your review is the unofficial copy of the minor change construction permit for W246BZ, which was granted today. Please note that the construction permit has a construction deadline of March 11,2017, which is 36 months after the grant date. Please let us know when you get close to completion of construction so that we, with your consulting engineer, can timely prepare the license to cover application for filing with the FCC, at which time we will also request program test authority to commence operations of the new facility. Obviously, we are still waiting on the assignment of license to be granted, so I assume construction will not start until after that time. Let me know if you have any questions.
