Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (or the “Report”) contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other matters, our future financial performance and results of operations; the competitive environment in our key markets, demand for our services and industry trends; the outcome of regulatory matters; our continued access to the credit and capital markets; the pace of our network expansion and improvement, including our level of estimated future capital expenditures and our realization of the benefits of these investments; and management’s plans and strategy for the future. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events or results. Actual future events and results could differ materially from the events and results indicated in these statements as a result of many factors, including, among others, (1) the general performance of our operations, including operating margins, revenues, and the future growth and retention of our subscriber base and consumer demand for solar power; (2) government regulation of our businesses, which may impact our FCC and other telecommunications licenses or our renewables business; (3) economic, political and other risks facing our operations; (4) our ability to maintain favorable roaming arrangements; (5) our ability to efficiently and cost-effectively upgrade our networks and IT platforms to address rapid and significant technological changes in the telecommunications industry; (6) the loss of or an inability to recruit skilled personnel in our various jurisdictions, including key members of management; (7) our ability to find investment or acquisition or disposition opportunities that fit our strategic goals for the Company; (8) increased competition; (9) our ability to operate in the renewable energy industry; (10) our reliance on a limited number of key suppliers and vendors for timely supply of equipment and services relating to our network infrastructure; (11) the adequacy and expansion capabilities of our network capacity and customer service system to support our customer growth; (12) the occurrence of weather events and natural catastrophes; (13) our continued access to capital and credit markets; and (14) our ability to realize the value that we believe exists in our businesses. These and other additional factors that may cause actual future events and results to differ materially from the events and results indicated in the forward-looking statements above are set forth more fully under Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015 and the other reports we file from time to time with the SEC.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the Company believes such information and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for such periods. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Results of interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and certain entities, which are consolidated in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) authoritative guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities since it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015 were 34.8% and 35.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate increased in 2015 primarily due to a larger portion of our earnings consisting of losses generated in a non-tax foreign jurisdiction for which we receive no tax benefit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued a standard on revenue recognition providing a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The revenue standard is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with no early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date to periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method options and the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 provides guidance on determining when disposals can be presented as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 requires that only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. A strategic shift may include a disposal of a major line of business, major equity method investment or a major part of an entity. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures regarding discontinued operations. This standard was effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which amends the presentation of debt issuance costs on the consolidated balance sheet. Under the new guidance, debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability rather than as an asset. The new guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal periods starting after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 and have determined that its adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures at that time.

3. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of the Company’s fixed

Table of Contents

and finite-lived intangible assets, allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase business combinations, fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and income taxes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

4. ACQUISITIONS

On December 24, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Green Lake Capital, LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Green Lake”), an owner and operator of commercial distributed generation solar power systems in Massachusetts, California and New Jersey (the “Ahana Acquisition”). The Company acquired these assets as part of a total transaction valued at approximately $117.7 million which is comprised of approximately $66.3 million of cash consideration, a $12.5 million reimbursement of cash and restricted cash held by Green Lake on the date of the acquisition, and the assumption of $38.9 million of debt. The acquisition was performed through the Company’s newly formed subsidiary, Ahana Renewables, LLC (“Ahana Renewables”). Certain subsidiaries of Ahana Renewables have been partially capitalized by a third-party tax equity investor who maintains a non-controlling interest in these subsidiaries. The tax equity investor’s interest in these subsidiaries changes at a certain date (the “Flip Date”), which is the later of a) the five-year anniversary of the placed in service date for the solar assets owned by the subsidiary or, b) the date that the tax equity investor receives a certain return on their original investment in that subsidiary. These dates typically occur at approximately 2 - 4 years from the acquisition date. The profits and losses of these subsidiaries will be allocated to the tax equity investors and to the Company using the Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value method. The Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value Method is used to calculate the non-controlling interests’ share of income for each period by measuring the difference in funds that would flow to the non-controlling interests in a hypothetical liquidation event at the beginning of the period compared to the end of a period (adjusted for capital distributions). The method assumes that the proceeds on liquidation approximate book value and then the proceeds are allocated to the Company and non-controlling interests based on the liquidation provisions of the solar facility operating agreement. A positive difference during the period represents non-controlling interests’ share of income and a decrease represents a loss. Ahana Renewables has the option to buy-out the non-controlling interests.

Ahana Renewables generates revenue from the sale of electricity through long-term (10-25 years) power purchase agreements as well as the sale of Solar Renewable Energy Credits (“SRECs”) which are government emissions allowances obtained through power generation and compliance with various regulations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

5. LOSS ON DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY

During March 2015, the Company’s sold certain assets and liabilities of its Island Wireless segment. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $19.9 million arising from the deconsolidation of non-controlling interests of $20.0 million and a gain of $0.1 million arising from an excess of sales proceeds over the carrying value of net assets disposed of. The disposition is included within other income (expense) and does not relate to a strategic shift in the Company’s operations and the subsidiary’s historical results and financial position are presented with continuing operations.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based upon an exit price model.

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Table of Contents

Level 1		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset and liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 assets and liabilities include money market funds, debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2		Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes corporate obligations and non-exchange traded derivative contracts.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments and intangible assets that have been impaired whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	December 31, 2014
Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Total
Certificates of deposit	$	—	$	363	$	363
Money market funds	$	1,493	$	—	$	1,493

Total assets measured at fair value	$	1,493	$	363	$	1,856

Debt (Note 7)	$	—	$	38,877	$	38,877

Total liabilities measured at fair value	$	—	$	38,877	$	38,877

	March 31, 2015

Money market funds	$	1,360	$	—	$	1,360

Total assets measured at fair value	$	1,360	$	363	$	1,723

Certificate of Deposit

7. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt comprises the following (in thousands):

	December 31, 2014			March 31, 2015

Term loans assumed in Ahana acquisition	$	38,877		$	37,394
Less: current portion	(6,083		)	(6,150		)
Total long term debt	$	32,794		$	31,244

On December 19, 2014, the Company amended and restated its credit facility to provide for a $225 million revolving credit facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”) that includes (i) up to $10 million under the Amended Credit Facility for standby or trade letters of credit, (ii) up to $25 million under the Amended Credit Facility for letters of credit that are necessary or desirable to qualify for disbursements from the FCC’s mobility fund and (iii) up to $10 million under a swingline sub-facility.

Amounts the Company may borrow under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at its option, either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%. Swingline loans will bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans. The base rate is equal to the higher of (i) 1.00% plus the higher of (x) the one-week LIBOR and (y) the one-month LIBOR; (ii) the federal funds effective rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% per annum; and (iii) the prime rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The applicable margin is determined based on the ratio (as further defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of the Company’s indebtedness to EBITDA. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company must also pay a fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.250% of the average daily unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility over each calendar quarter.

The Amended Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants by the Company limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility contains a financial covenant that imposes a maximum ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility.

Throughout 2014 and as of March 31, 2015, the Company had no borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility and approximately $10.6 million of outstanding letters of credit.

The carrying value of debt approximates its fair value.

Acquisition of Green Lake Capital, LLC

In connection with the Ahana Acquisition on December 24, 2014, the Company assumed $38.9 million in long-term debt (the “Ahana Debt”). The Ahana Debt includes multiple loan agreements with banks that bear interest at rates between 4.5% and 6.0%, mature at various times between 2018 and 2023 and are secured by certain solar facilities. Repayment of the Ahana Debt with the banks is made on a monthly basis until maturity.

The Ahana Debt also includes a loan from Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) of $2.8 million. The note payable to PSE&G bears interest at 11.3%, matures in 2027, and is secured by certain solar facilities. Repayment of the Ahana Debt with PSE&G can be made in either cash or solar renewable energy credits (“SRECs”), at the Company’s discretion, with the value of the SRECs being the current market value as of the date of repayment.

8. GOVERNMENT GRANTS

The Company has received funding from the U.S. Government and its agencies under Stimulus and Universal Services Fund programs. These are generally designed to fund telecommunications infrastructure expansion into rural or underserved areas of the United States. The fund programs are evaluated to determine if they represent funding related to capital expenditures (capital grants) or operating activities (income grants).

Mobility Fund Grants

As part of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) reform of its Universal Service Fund (“USF”) program, which previously provided support to carriers seeking to offer telecommunications services in high-cost areas and to low-income households, the FCC created two new funds, including the Mobility Fund, a one-time award meant to support wireless coverage in underserved geographic areas in the United States. In August 2013, the Company received FCC final approval for $21.7 million of Mobility Fund support to its wholesale wireless business (the “Mobility Funds”), to expand voice and broadband networks in certain geographic areas in order to offer either 3G or 4G coverage. As part of the receipt of the Mobility Funds, the Company committed to comply with certain additional FCC construction and other requirements. A portion of these funds will be used to offset network capital costs and a portion is used to offset the costs of supporting the networks for a period of five years. In connection with the Company’s application for the Mobility Funds, the Company has issued approximately $10.6 million in letters of credit to the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) has to secure these obligations. If the Company fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions upon which the Mobility Funds were granted, or if it loses eligibility for the Mobility Funds, USAC will be entitled to draw the entire amount of the letter of credit applicable to the affected project plus penalties and may disqualify the Company from the receipt of additional Mobility Fund support.

The Company began the construction of its Mobility Funds projects during the third quarter of 2013 and its results are included in the Company’s “U.S. Wireless” segment. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has received approximately $8.0 million in Mobility Funds. Of these funds, $1.4 million was recorded as an offset to the cost of the property, plant, and equipment associated with these projects and, consequentially, a reduction of future depreciation expense and $2.1 million is recorded within other current liabilities while the remaining $3.8 million is recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015. The balance sheet presentation is based on the timing of the expected usage of the funds which will reduce future operations expenses.

Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding	15,950	15,939

The above calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 does not include approximately 173,000 shares related to certain stock options because the effects of such were anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had four reportable segments for separate disclosure in accordance with the FASB’s authoritative guidance on disclosures about segments of an enterprise. Those four segments were: i) U.S. Wireless, which generates all of its revenues in and has all of its assets located in the United States, ii) International Integrated Telephony, which generates all of its revenues in and has all of its assets located in Guyana, iii) Island Wireless, which generates a majority of its revenues in, and has a majority of its assets located in, Bermuda and which also generates revenues in and has assets located in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba and Turks and Caicos (through March 23, 2015) and iv) U.S. Wireline, which generates all of its revenues in and has all of its assets located in the United States. With the Ahana Acquisition on December 24, 2014, the Company added a fifth reportable segment, Renewable Energy, which generates all of its revenues in and has all of its assets located in the United States. Segment presentations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were not impacted by the Ahana Acquisition. The operating segments are managed separately because each offers different services and serves different markets.

The following tables provide information for each operating segment (in thousands):

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory and Litigation Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain regulatory and legal proceedings and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages and taxes that are substantial in amount. The Company believes that, except for the items discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, for which the Company is currently unable to predict the final outcome, the disposition of proceedings currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In Bermuda, the Regulatory Authority continued its implementation of the Electronic Communications Act of 2011, which allows communications service providers to enter new lines of business and encourages further competition in the sector. As the government of Bermuda reforms the local telecommunications market, it has imposed regulatory and other fees and adopted additional regulation that have increased the regulatory costs incurred by and could otherwise impact the Company’s Bermuda operations. For instance, in December 2014, the Bermuda Regulatory Authority adopted a decision requiring the Company to surrender a portion of existing spectrum held in Bermuda that the Company had reserved for the launch of next generation services in accordance with the Company’s plans and demands of its customers. The Company initiated legal proceedings challenging the implementation of such decision, however, was not successful in staying the decision and in March 2015 surrendered the spectrum in question to the Bermuda Regulatory Authority. While the Company’s appeal of this decision remains pending, it cannot now accurately predict the impact to the competitive position of the Company’s Bermuda business or limitations that such actions will have on the Company’s ability to grow.

Disposal of Turks and Caicos Operations

During March 2015, we completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities operated in Turks and Caicos and recorded a loss on the disposition and related deconsolidation of this subsidiary of approximately $19.9 million.

Ahana Acquisition

On December 24, 2014, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Green Lake Capital, LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Green Lake”), an owner and operator of commercial distributed generation solar power systems in Massachusetts, California and New Jersey (the “Ahana Acquisition”). We acquired these assets as part of a total transaction valued at approximately $117.7 million comprised of approximately $66.3 million of cash consideration, a $12.5 million reimbursement of of cash and restricted cash held by Green Lake on the date of the acquisition, and the assumption of $38.9 million of debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information about the Ahana Acquisition. The results of Ahana Renewables are reported in the Company’s Renewable Energy segment.

Stimulus Grants

We were awarded several federal stimulus grants in 2009 and 2010 by the U.S. Government under provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 intended to stimulate the deployment of broadband infrastructure and services to rural, unserved and underserved areas. As of March 31,2015, we have spent (i) $35.8 million in capital expenditures (of which $27.5 million has been funded by the federal stimulus grant) in connection with our build of ten new segments of fiber-optic, middle-mile broadband infrastructure in upstate New York and parts of Pennsylvania and Vermont; (ii) $7.6 million in capital expenditures (of which $5.3 million has been funded by the federal stimulus grant) in connection with our last-mile broadband infrastructure buildout in the Navajo Nation across Arizona, New Mexico and Utah; and (iii) $47.9 million in capital expenditures (of which $33.0 million has been funded by the federal stimulus grant) in connection with our fiber-optic middle mile network buildout to provide broadband and transport services to over 340 community anchor institutions in Vermont. The results of our New York and Vermont stimulus projects are included in our “U.S. Wireline” segment and the results of our Navajo stimulus project are included in our “U.S. Wireless” segment. The New York and Navajo stimulus projects were completed during 2013. The Vermont stimulus project was completed during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Mobility Fund Grants

As part of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) reform of its Universal Service Fund (“USF”) program, which previously provided support to carriers seeking to offer telecommunications services in high-cost areas and to low-income households, the FCC created two new funds, including the Mobility Fund, a one-time award meant to support wireless coverage in underserved geographic areas in the United States. In August 2013, the Company received FCC final approval for $21.7 million of Mobility Fund support to its wholesale wireless business (the “Mobility Funds”), to expand voice and broadband networks in certain geographic areas in order to offer either 3G or 4G coverage. As part of the receipt of the Mobility Funds, the Company committed to comply with certain additional FCC construction and other requirements. A portion of these funds will be used to offset network capital costs and a portion is used to offset the costs of supporting the networks for a period of five years. In connection with the Company’s application for the Mobility Funds, the Company has issued approximately $10.6 million in letters of credit to the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) to secure these obligations. If the Company fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions upon which the Mobility Funds were granted, or if it loses eligibility for the Mobility Funds, USAC will be entitled to draw the entire amount of the letter of credit applicable to the affected project plus penalties and may disqualify the Company from the receipt of additional Mobility Fund support.

Table of Contents

The Company began the construction of its Mobility Funds projects during the third quarter of 2013 and their results are included in the Company’s “U.S. Wireless” segment. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has received approximately $8.0 million in Mobility Funds. Of these funds, $1.4 million was recorded as an offset to the cost of the property, plant, and equipment associated with these projects and, consequentially, a reduction of future depreciation expense and $2.1 million is recorded within other current liabilities while the remaining $3.8 million is recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015. The balance sheet presentation is based on the timing of the expected usage of the funds which will reduce future operations expenses.

U.S. wireless revenue. The substantial majority of U.S. wireless revenue consists of wholesale revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, wholesale revenue represented 97% and 92% of total U.S. wireless revenue, respectively. In addition, U.S. wireless revenue also includes retail revenues generated by our operations in certain smaller rural markets already covered by our wholesale network in the western United States. Wholesale revenue is generated from providing mobile voice or data services to the customers of other wireless carriers, the provision of network switching services and certain transport services using our wireless networks. Wholesale wireless revenue is primarily driven by the number of sites and base stations we operate, the amount of voice and data traffic from the subscribers of other carriers that each of these sites generates, and the rates we are paid from our carrier customers for carrying that traffic.

The most significant competitive factor we face in our wholesale wireless business is the extent to which our carrier customers choose to roam on our networks or elect to build or acquire their own infrastructure in a market, reducing or eliminating their need for our services in those markets. Occasionally, we have entered into buildout projects with existing carrier customers to help the customer accelerate the buildout of a given area. Pursuant to these arrangements, we agree to incur the cost of building and operating a network in a newly designated area meeting specified conditions. In exchange, the carrier agrees to license us spectrum in

Table of Contents

that area and enter into a contract with specific pricing and terms. These arrangements typically include a right, or “call option”, in favor of the carrier to purchase that portion of the network and receive back the spectrum for a predetermined price, depending on when such call option is exercised. For example, as previously disclosed, in December 2012, we sold a portion of our network to a carrier customer pursuant to a call option contained in our roaming and buildout agreement with that carrier. We currently have one buildout arrangement of approximately 100 newly built cell sites, which provides the carrier with a call option to purchase such sites exercisable beginning no earlier than 2018. At this time, we cannot predict the level of roaming traffic that will develop on this newly built network or whether the call option will be exercised.

Our U.S. wireless revenue increased to $35.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $28.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $7.4 million or 26.1%. The revenue growth was a result of capacity and technology upgrades to our network, an increase in the demand for data services and an increase in the base stations used in our wholesale operations from 605 as of March 31, 2014 to 786 as of March 31, 2015.

While we will continue to expand our coverage with additional and upgraded base stations in 2015, it will be at a slower rate than our 2014 expansion. As a result, we expect that data volumes will continue to increase during 2015. However, we expect to experience a decline in revenues as we agreed in the first quarter of 2015 to significantly reduce the rates we offer to a major customer in exchange for a longer-term contract. Our U.S. wireless revenues may also be impacted by our expanded network capabilities, reach and capacity, continued declines in overall voice traffic on our networks or decisions by our roaming partners to no longer roam on our networks or to expand their networks in areas where we operate. We believe that this new model has much lower risk in that the extended term and reduced pricing create a long-lived shared infrastructure solution for our roaming partner that increases the ultimate value of our wholesale business.

International wireless revenue. International wireless revenue includes retail and wholesale voice and data wireless revenue from our operations in Bermuda and the Caribbean, including the U.S. Virgin Islands.

International wireless revenue decreased by $1.9 million, or 8.2%, to $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in market share within our International Integrated Telephony segment which resulted in a $0.8 million decrease in wireless revenue as well as a decline in roaming revenue in Bermuda and the Caribbean.

In total, our international wireless subscribers decreased from approximately 323,000 to 314,000 as of March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. A majority of this decrease was the result of our sale of our operations in Turks and Caicos within our Island Wireless segment. The remaining decrease was predominately driven by a 1% decrease in our lower revenue generating subscribers in our International Integrated Telephony segment.

We expect international wireless revenues from our retail operations to grow in future periods as a result of subscriber growth. However, we anticipate that wholesale roaming revenues in Bermuda and the Caribbean will continue to decline in future periods due to anticipated rate declines resulting in lowered overall roaming traffic in these markets. Wholesale roaming revenues in these markets are also subject to seasonality and can fluctuate between quarters.

Additionally, international wireless revenue from our wireless voice and data services in Bermuda may be negatively impacted, principally through the loss of market share, if our appeal of the Bermuda Regulatory Authority’s decision to recapture a portion of existing spectrum held by our Bermuda subsidiary reserved for the launch of next generation wireless and data services is denied. We currently cannot predict the impact that the recapturing of our spectrum will have on our operations or if the Bermuda Regulations Authority will choose to reallocate such spectrum to our competitors.

Wireline revenue. Wireline revenue is generated by our wireline operations in Guyana, including international telephone calls into and out of that country, our integrated voice and data operations in New England, our wholesale transport operations in New York State and our wholesale long-distance voice services to telecommunications carriers. This revenue includes basic service fees, measured service revenue, and internet access fees, as well as installation charges for new lines, monthly line rental charges, long-distance or toll charges, and maintenance and equipment sales.

Wireline revenue decreased by $0.9 million, or 4.4%, to $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $21.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of a $0.7 million decrease in our wholesale long-distance voice services operations within our U.S. Wireline segment as well as a slight decrease in Guyana.

We anticipate that wireline revenue from our international long-distance business in Guyana will continue to be negatively impacted, principally through the loss of market share, should we cease to be the exclusive provider of domestic fixed and international long-distance service in Guyana, whether by reason of the Government of Guyana enacting legislation to such effect or a modification, revocation or lack of enforcement of our exclusive rights. While the loss of our exclusive rights will likely cause an

Table of Contents

immediate reduction in our wireline revenue, over the longer term such declines may be offset by increased revenue from data services to consumers and enterprises in Guyana, an increase in regulated local calling rates in Guyana, and increased wholesale transport services and large enterprise and agency sales in the United States.

We currently cannot predict when or if the Government of Guyana will enact such legislation or take, or fail to take, any action that would otherwise affect our exclusive rights in Guyana. See “Business—Guyana Regulation” in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Renewable Energy revenue. Renewable energy revenue represents revenue from the sale of electricity through long-term (10—25 years) power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) as well as the sale of solar renewable energy credits (“SRECs”).

Renewable energy revenue was $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and is attributable to Ahana Renewables, LLC which was acquired in December 2014.

Our PPAs, which are typically priced at or below local retail electricity rates, allow our customers to secure electricity at predictable and stable prices over the duration of their long-term contract. As such, our PPAs provide us with high-quality contracted cash flows, which will continue over their average remaining life. For these reasons, we expect that Renewable Energy revenue from our current portfolio of commercial solar projects will remain fairly consistent in future periods.

Equipment and other revenue. Equipment and other revenue represent revenue from wireless equipment sales, primarily handsets, to retail telecommunications customers and revenue from our newly acquired renewable energy investment and other miscellaneous revenue items.

Equipment and other revenue increased by $0.3 million, or 14.3% to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Equipment and other revenue increased in both our U.S. Wireless segment’s retail operations and in our International Integrated Telephony segment by $0.2 million as a result of increased demand for handsets. These increases, however, were offset by a $0.2 million decrease in our Island Wireless segment as a result of a decrease in subscribers purchasing handsets.

We believe that equipment and other revenue could continue to increase as a result of gross subscriber additions, more aggressive subsidies driving demand for devices and the continued growth in smartphone penetration.

Termination and access fee expenses. Termination and access fee expenses are charges that we pay for voice and data transport circuits (in particular, the circuits between our wireless sites and our switches), internet capacity, other access fees we pay to terminate our calls, customer bad debt expense, and direct costs associated with our Renewable Energy segment.

Termination and access fees increased by $0.2 million, or 1.3%, from $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our U.S. Wireless segment reported an increase in its termination and access fees of $1.0 million as a result of its network expansion which increased traffic volume. This increase was partially offset by decreases of $0.7 million and $0.5 million in our wholesale long-distance voice services operations within our U.S. Wireline segment and in our Island Wireless segment, respectively. In addition, our Renewable Energy segment recorded $0.3 million of expenses through our Ahana Acquisition which was completed in December 2014.

Termination and access fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods with expected growth in volume, but remain fairly proportionate to their related revenue as our networks expand.

Engineering and operations expenses. Engineering and operations expenses include the expenses associated with developing, operating and supporting our expanding telecommunications networks and renewable energy operations, including the salaries and benefits paid to employees directly involved in the development and operation of our networks.

Engineering and operations expenses increased by $0.8 million from $9.6 million to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of increased support of our expanding U.S. Wireless network and the continued implementation of our new billing system in our International Integrated Telephony segment.

Engineering and operations expenses are expected to increase as a result of the costs required to support the increased capacity and geographic expansion of our telecommunications network as well as to support our Renewable Energy segment.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and benefits we pay to sales personnel, customer service expenses, sales commissions and the costs associated with the development and implementation of our promotion and marketing campaigns.

Table of Contents

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 4.0%, from $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily to support the increase in our U.S. Wireless segment’s retail operations revenues.

We expect that sales, marketing and customer service expenses will remain fairly consistent as a percentage of revenues in future periods.

Equipment expenses. Equipment expenses include the costs of our handset and customer resale equipment in our retail wireless businesses.

Equipment expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 40.7%, from $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The increase in equipment expenses is primarily the result of increased demand for handset devices in our U.S. Wireless segment’s retail operations and in our International Integrated Telephony segment which reported equipment expense increases of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

We believe that equipment expenses could continue to increase as a result of the increase in demand for smartphones by our subscribers.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include salaries, benefits and related costs for general corporate functions including executive management, finance and administration, legal and regulatory, facilities, information technology and human resources. General and administrative expenses also include internal costs associated with our performance of due-diligence in connection with acquisition activities.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 14.6% from $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in primarily the result of our newly acquired Renewable Energy business which was acquired in December 2014 and incurred $1.1 million of general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2015. In addition, our Island Wireless segment reported an increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.5 million to support its expanded networks and an increase of $0.4 million was incurred at our Parent company to support our companywide advancement of initiatives.

We expect that these general and administrative expenses will remain fairly consistent as a percentage of revenues in future periods.

Transaction related charges. Transaction related charges include the external costs, such as legal, tax and accounting, and consulting fees directly associated with acquisition and disposition-related activities, which are expensed as incurred. Transaction related charges do not include internal costs, such as employee salary and travel-related expenses, incurred in connection with acquisitions or dispositions or any integration-related costs.

We incurred nominal transaction related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $0.2 million of transaction related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

We expect that acquisition and disposition related expenses will continue to be incurred from time to time as we continue to explore additional acquisition or disposition opportunities.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses represent the depreciation and amortization charges we record on our property and equipment and on certain intangible assets.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $2.8 million, or 23.3% from $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 respectively. The increase is primarily the result of our newly acquired Renewable Energy business which was acquired in December 2014 and reported $1.2 million of depreciation and amortization expense during the three months end March 31, 2015. Our U.S. Wireless and Wireline segments incurred increases in depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as a result of their network expansions. Our parent company also incurred an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.5 million in connection with upgrades to certain business support systems.

We expect depreciation expense to increase due to the assets acquired as part of our Renewable Energy segment business and as we acquire more tangible assets to expand or upgrade our telecommunications networks.

Table of Contents

Interest income (expense), net. Interest income (expense), net represents commitment fees and interest incurred on our outstanding credit facilities and interest incurred on the term loans we assumed in our Ahana acquisition, net of interest income.

Interest income (expense), net increased $0.4 million from $0.2 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $0.6 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was the result of the interest we incurred on the term loans we assumed in our December 2014 Ahana Acquisition.

Loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary. During March 2015, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities within our Island Wireless segment and recorded a loss on the sale and the deconsolidation of the subsidiary of $19.9 million.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net represents miscellaneous non-operational income we earned or expenses we incurred. Other income (expense), net was nominal for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015 were 34.8% and 35.5%, respectively. Our effective tax rate is based upon estimated income before provision for income taxes for the year, composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for potential tax consequences, benefits and/or resolutions of tax contingencies. Our effective tax rate increased in 2015 primarily due to a larger portion of our earnings consisting of losses generated in a non-tax foreign jurisdiction for which we receive no tax benefit. Our consolidated tax rate will continue to be impacted by the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests reflected an allocation of $2.6 million and $2.8 million of income generated by our less than wholly-owned subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Net income (loss) attributable to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. stockholders. Net income (loss) attributable to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. stockholders decreased to a $3.3 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $7.8 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

On a per share basis, net income decreased to $0.21 per diluted share from $0.49 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Regulatory and Tax Issues

We are involved in a number of regulatory and tax proceedings. A material and adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and future operations. For discussion of ongoing proceedings, see Note 12 to the unaudited Condensed- Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have met our operational liquidity needs through a combination of cash on hand and internally generated funds and have funded capital expenditures and acquisitions with a combination of internally generated funds, cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. We believe our current cash, cash equivalents and availability under our current credit facility will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the next twelve months for working capital and capital expenditures.

Uses of Cash

Capital Expenditures. A significant use of our cash has been for capital expenditures to expand and upgrade our networks.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, we spent approximately $8.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively, on capital expenditures. The following notes our capital expenditures, by operating segment, for these periods:

Table of Contents

	Capital Expenditures
	U.S. Wireless		International Integrated Telephony		Island Wireless		U.S. Wireline		Renewable Energy		Reconciling Items		Consolidated
Three Months Ended March 31,
2014	$	5,337	$	2,176	$	366	$	430	$	—	$	427	$	8,736
2015	6,373		2,791		2,418		1,498		—		732		13,812

We are continuing to invest in upgrading and expanding our telecommunications networks in many of our markets, along with upgrading our operating and business support systems. We currently anticipate that capital expenditures for our telecommunications segments for the year ended December 31, 2015 will be between $65 million and $75 million. While difficult to predict, we currently estimate investments of approximately $30 million in the Renewable Energy segment in 2015.

We expect to fund our current capital expenditures primarily from our current cash balances and cash generated from operations.

Acquisitions and Investments. Historically, we have funded our acquisitions with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities.

We continue to explore opportunities to expand our business or acquire new businesses and licenses in the United States, the Caribbean and elsewhere. Such acquisitions, including acquisitions of renewable energy assets, may require external financing. While there can be no assurance as to whether, when or on what terms we will be able to acquire any such businesses or licenses or make such investments, such acquisitions may be accomplished through the issuance of shares of our capital stock, payment of cash or incurrence of additional debt. From time to time, we may raise capital ahead of any definitive use of proceeds to allow us to move more quickly and opportunistically if an attractive investment materializes.

As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately $385.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, of which $93.8 million was held outside the United States in our foreign subsidiaries and $37.4 million of long-term debt. How and when we deploy our balance sheet capacity will figure prominently in our longer-term growth prospects and stockholder returns.

Income taxes. We have historically used cash-on-hand to make payments for income taxes.

Dividends. We use cash-on-hand to make dividend payments to our common stockholders when declared by our Board of Directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, our Board declared dividends to our stockholders, which includes a $0.29 per share dividend declared on March 23, 2015, and paid on April 9, 2014, of $4.6 million. We have declared quarterly dividends for the last 66 fiscal quarters.

Stock repurchase plan. Our Board of Directors approved a $5.0 million stock buyback plan in September 2004 pursuant to which we have spent approximately $2.1 million through March 31, 2015. Our last repurchase of our Common Stock under this plan was in 2007. We may repurchase shares at any time depending on market conditions, our available cash and our cash needs.

Sources of Cash

Total liquidity. As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately $385.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, an increase of $14.5 million from the December 31, 2014 balance of $371.4 million. The increase is attributable to cash provided by our operating activities of $35.5 million partially offset by our capital expenditures of $13.8 million and cash used in our financing activities of $10.4 million.

Cash generated (used in) by operations. Cash provided by operating activities was $35.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to cash used by operating activities of $9.0 million for the three months end March 31, 2014. The $44.5 million increase was primarily the result of a decrease in net income of $10.9 million offset by a loss on the sale of certain assets in our Island Wireless segment of $19.9 million and an increase in accrued taxes of $29.1 million which was predominantly driven by our sale of our Alltel business in September 2013. Other significant components of the $44.5 million increase in cash provided by operating activities included an increase in depreciation and amortization of $2.8 million and an increase in the cash provided by discontinued operations of $2.6 million arising from refunds of overpayments and limited payables activity.

Table of Contents

Cash provided by investing activities. Cash provided by investing activities was $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Cash provided by investing activities was $29.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase of $17.3 million was primarily the result of a $20.4 million decrease in restricted cash primarily as the result of the final receipt of the escrowed funds from our sale of the retail wireless business operated under the Alltel name and an increase in the proceeds from the sale of certain assets of $4.5 million as the result of our sale of our operations in Turks and Caicos. These increases in cash provided by investing activities were partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $5.1 million and the usage of $2.6 million related to the Ahana acquisition.

Cash used in financing activities. Cash used in financing activities increased by $3.8 million, from $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was predominately the result of increased distributions to minority holders of $1.6 million, repayments of long-term debt (which was assumed in our Ahana acquisition) of $1.5 million and an increase in the dividends that we paid our shareholders of $0.3 million.

Credit facilities. On December 19, 2014, we amended and restated our credit facility to provide for a $225.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”) that includes (i) up to $10.0 million under the Amended Credit Facility for standby or trade letters of credit, (ii) up to $25.0 million under the Amended Credit Facility for letters of credit that are necessary or desirable to qualify for disbursements from the FCC’s mobility fund and (iii) up to $10 million under a swingline sub-facility.

Amounts we may borrow under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%. Swingline loans will bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans. The base rate is equal to the higher of (i) 1.00% plus the higher of (x) the one-week LIBOR and (y) the one-month LIBOR; (ii) the federal funds effective rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% per annum; and (iii) the prime rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The applicable margin is determined based on the ratio (as further defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of the Company’s indebtedness to EBITDA. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we must also pay a fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.250% of the average daily unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility over each calendar quarter.

The Amended Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a financial covenant that imposes a maximum ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA as well as covenants by us limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2015, we had no borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility and approximately $10.6 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Acquisition of Green Lake Capital, LLC

In connection with the Ahana Acquisition on December 24, 2014, we assumed $38.9 million in long-term debt (the “Ahana Debt”). The Ahana Debt includes multiple loan agreements with banks that bear interest at rates between 4.5% and 6.0%, mature at various times between 2018 and 2023 and are secured by certain solar facilities. Repayment of the Ahana Debt with the banks is made on a monthly basis until maturity.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Internally generated funds. The key factors affecting our internally generated funds are demand for our services, competition, regulatory developments, economic conditions in the markets where we operate our businesses and industry trends within the telecommunications and renewable energy industries.

Table of Contents

Restrictions under Amended Credit Facility. Our Amended Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility contains a financial covenant by us that imposes a maximum ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility.

Capital markets. Our ability to raise funds in the capital markets depends on, among other things, general economic conditions, the conditions of the telecommunications and renewable energy industries, our financial performance, the state of the capital markets and our compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for the offering of securities. On June 6, 2014, the SEC declared effective our “universal” shelf registration statement. This filing registered potential future offering of our securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Sensitivity. The only foreign currency for which we have a material exposure is the Guyanese dollar, because a significant portion of our Guyana revenues and expenditures are transacted in Guyanese dollars. The Guyanese exchange rate remained relatively constant at approximately 205 Guyana dollars to 1 U.S. dollar from 2004 through May 2013. Beginning in May 2013, the exchange rate began to increase and ended at a rate of approximately 210 Guyana dollars to 1 U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2015. The results of future operations may be affected by changes in the value of the Guyana dollar.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. As of March 31, 2015, we did not have any outstanding variable rate debt and as a result, we believe that we do not have an exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We may have an exposure to fluctuations in interest rates if we again borrow amounts under our revolver loan within our Credit Facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms.

Table of Contents

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015. The risks described in our 2014 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In September 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $5.0 million of common stock. The repurchase authorizations do not have a fixed termination date and the timing of the buyback amounts and exact number of shares purchased will depend on market conditions. No repurchases were made under this plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

The following table reflects the repurchases by the Company of its common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2015:

Period	(a) Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)	(b) Average Price Paid per Share (1)		(c) Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	(d) Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
