Equity transactions analyst

Director’s stake is fully cashed out in Verizon’s $38.50-per-share merger.

This filing shows how a Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. director’s equity was treated when Verizon Communications Inc. completed its acquisition. On January 20, 2026, a merger subsidiary of Verizon combined with Frontier, leaving Frontier as a wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon, and triggering automatic cash conversion of the director’s shares.

Each outstanding Frontier share became a right to receive $38.50 in cash, with no interest, at the effective time. The director’s non-derivative holdings were fully disposed of in two line items, moving from 25,919 shares down to zero, consistent with a cash-out merger structure. Outstanding restricted stock units also vested and were canceled for cash equal to the underlying shares multiplied by $38.50.

The filing is primarily mechanical, documenting the closing terms already set in the merger agreement dated September 4, 2024. It confirms that post-closing, the reporting person no longer holds Frontier common stock, and that all equity interests referenced here were settled entirely in cash under the agreed per-share merger price.
