ABOUT ZAYO… Zayo Group, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Zayo Group Holdings, Inc., a publically traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange trading under the ticker ZAYO. Zayo is a global telecommunications company and is certified as a Public Utility by the Washington Transportation and Utilities Commission to provide telephone and telecommunications. Zayo has a large telecom network footprint, throughout the state of Washington as well as throughout North America and Europe, that is in perpetual expansion to accommodate the demand of its ever growing customer base and the exponential growth of demand for telecommunications services and fiber optic bandwidth. Zayo is a wholesale provider of telecommunications services whose facilities and services are utilized by other retail telecoms such as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Windstream, and Centurylink, among many others, for both their terrestrial wireline, as well as the their wireless services. An example of how we support these companies’ wireless, cellular systems is the provision of backhaul communications from a customer's cell tower to its mobile telephone switching office over our fiber optic network. Zayo’s facilities and services are also used by large enterprises, government agencies and educational institutions. On an international scale, Zayo’s all fiber optic network exceeds 126,000 nautical miles or 9.9 million fiber miles connecting thousands of data centers, enterprise locations, telephone carrier exchange points, wireless towers, government agencies, hospitals, universities, media centers, financial exchanges, cloud providers and entertainment venues, among many others. zColo, our carrier independent data center division currently consists of 40 separate facilities located in over 35 major metro markets in North America and Europe. Combining data center/colocation/carrier hotel solutions with our global networks enable our customers a seamless, one-stop solution to their data storage and communications need.
HOW ZAYO’S FACILITIES BENEFIT SAMMAMISH… Our further expansion within Sammamish, which is a part of our vast Pudget Sound area network expansion that is underway, will enable Sammamish’s citizens, government agencies, businesses and other institutions to directly connect to our global network as well as the networks of all other telecoms, cable and satellite operators and other network operators throughout the world. Moreover, regardless of one’s telephone service carrier, the wholesale facilities we are developing will directly benefit all carriers, and thus their end-user customers, by augmenting and expanding their capabilities as demand growth continues at an ever accelerating pace.

WHAT IS ZAYO DOING IN SAMMAMISH… The initial construction work that Zayo is planning in Sammamish consists of two immediate objectives. The first is to provide communications services requested by one of its wholesale customers to help accommodate the demand from their retail customers who are citizens and businesses in and around Sammamish. The second is that this build that initially benefits our wholesale customer and its retail customers, further enables Zayo to provide access to our networks to other end users in Sammamish that currently do not have access to our networks, or any high speed networks, and to enable that access at a ‘lower cost’ than if we were only speculatively building. Zayo’s initial construction will be to install cables and conduits within and without Sammamish that will connect existing customer specific sites to our larger existing network facilities. These laterals then serve as the backbone (or spine) of our local network within Sammamish, which then provide the ability to build laterals off the local backbone to other customers, and potential future customers, throughout Sammamish, but at a lower development cost, which directly benefits Sammamish-based customers. Our advanced network capabilities enhance Sammamish’s economic competitiveness by better enabling Sammamish to attract high tech and other enterprises and institutions to the Sammamish area.
