[Form 4] WideOpenWest, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 filing (07/01/2025) – WideOpenWest, Inc. (WOW) details a routine equity-for-fees transaction by Crestview-affiliated directors Barry S. Volpert, Daniel G. Kilpatrick and Brian P. Cassidy.

• Securities acquired: 15,487 common shares ("Retainer Shares") granted under WOW’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan at an implied price of $4.14 per share, taken in lieu of cash board retainers for FY-2025.
• Post-transaction beneficial ownership: Crestview entities report indirect control of 31,843,988 WOW shares. Each individual has assigned all economic rights in the new shares to Crestview Advisors, L.L.C.
• Insider class: Crestview Partners III GP, L.P. and related funds remain >10% owners and board representatives.

No open-market buying or material change in aggregate ownership occurred; the filing mainly formalises board compensation in equity, marginally increasing share count while modestly tightening alignment between Crestview directors and outside shareholders.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Crestview directors accepted 15.5k WOW shares for board fees, lifting indirect stake to 31.8 M; immaterial but signals continued engagement.

The disclosed 15,487-share award represents roughly 0.02 % of WOW’s outstanding equity and less than 0.05 % of Crestview’s 31.8 M-share position. Because the stock was issued under the incentive plan rather than purchased in the market, the economic signal is weak and non-cash. The transaction slightly dilutes existing shareholders but by an immaterial amount. Crestview remains a strategic holder and board influencer (>10 % ownership). Overall market impact is neutral; investors should view this as routine governance housekeeping rather than a catalyst.
