Ting completes a second asset-backed securitization for $63 million to support its fiber network expansion

TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2024 /CNW/ – Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), announced today that its subsidiary, Ting Fiber, LLC (“Ting”), has closed an offering by one of its subsidiaries for $63 million. The offering consists of Series 2024-1 Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 and Class B, (collectively, the “Notes”), maturing August 2054. All figures are in U.S. dollars.

Ting will use the net proceeds from the Notes to fund the expansion of its fiber networks, create capacity for growth, and other general corporate purposes, including paying the fees and expenses related to the issuance of the Notes.

“The securitization provides Ting with an efficient vehicle to raise capital to continue funding our network expansion. Since the initial Ting ABS in May 2023, Ting has generated further borrowing capacity by adding 29,000 serviceable addresses and 9,500 customers,” said Ting CEO and Tucows President and CEO, Elliot Noss. “The success of fiber operator securitizations reinforces our macro view: the market recognizes the long-term profitability of the U.S. coax-to-fiber transition, and the ABS product provides a low-risk instrument for investors to participate.”

Ting will be leveraging its existing wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (the “Issuer”) that holds the equity for all Contributed Markets and receives all payments from existing and future residential and business customers. The Contributed Markets include approximately 125,000 residential and business Ting-owned serviceable addresses and 45,500 customers across six states. Ting will be engaged on an arm’s length basis as manager to continue operating the networks and delivering its high-quality service to customers.

The Notes are priced at a weighted average coupon of 5.9% and will be issued at par. The weighted average yield on this issuance represents a 150 bps decrease compared to the weighted average yield on Ting’s 2023-1 Class A-2 and Class B notes. The cumulative outstanding balance of both the 2023 and 2024 ABS notes amounts to 8.1x the annualized run rate collections, net of management fees at the time of the notes underwriting.

The securitization contains standard covenants and other investor protections, including that all securitization entities are bankruptcy-remote special-purpose entities and has been set up as a master trust, allowing Ting to efficiently securitize additional fiber-optic infrastructure in the future, subject to customary conditions.

The Notes are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Section 4(a)(2) and to persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release is not an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.

Goldman Sachs acted as placement agent on the deal and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP acted as legal counsel to Ting.

Dr. van Belle to guide scientific exploration and foster innovation in the next era of astronomical research

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lowell Observatory is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Gerard van Belle as the new Director of Science. Van Belle, who has been an astronomer at the observatory since 2011, has been serving as the interim Director of Science.

In his new role, van Belle will lead a diverse team of astronomers and planetary scientists. He will spearhead the observatory’s new Science Vision, which focuses on advancing research capabilities and implementing cutting-edge technological improvements supporting Lowell’s leadership in astronomical research.

Under his leadership, the science department will continue to advance Lowell Observatory’s mission to pursue the study of astronomy, including the study of our solar system and its evolution, and to conduct pure research in astrophysical phenomena.

Van Belle’s own research focuses on fundamental stellar parameters, including the sizes, shapes, masses, distances, and temperatures of various types of stars. He is also renowned for his expertise in optical and near-infrared astronomical interferometry.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from Whitman College in 1990, followed by a master’s degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1993, and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wyoming in 1996.

Throughout his career, van Belle has been instrumental in the development and commissioning of major optical interferometers worldwide, including the Palomar Testbed Interferometer, the Keck Interferometer, and the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. His pioneering work in stellar surface imaging earned him the inaugural Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2002.

In 2011, van Belle joined Lowell Observatory’s science staff, where he applied high-resolution astronomical techniques to detect nearby exoplanets and map stellar surfaces. He served as the Director of the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI) in Flagstaff, Arizona, from 2017 to 2018, and subsequently as its Chief Scientist until 2022.

Notably, van Belle was among the astronomers who voted against the definition of ‘planet’ advanced during the 2006 International Astronomical Union (IAU) conference in Prague, which relegated Pluto to being a ‘dwarf planet’ (which according to the IAU resolution is not a planet).

His extensive experience and dedication to advancing astronomical research make him a valuable leader for Lowell Observatory’s scientific endeavors.

“I am honored to take on this role at such a pivotal time for Lowell Observatory,” said van Belle. “Our Science Vision will guide us in exploring new frontiers in astronomy while strengthening our commitment to public engagement and education.”

Executive Director Dr. Amanda Bosh expressed her confidence in van Belle’s leadership: “Gerard’s extensive experience and dedication to our mission make him the ideal person to lead our scientific endeavors. I look forward to working closely with him as we embark on this exciting new chapter for Lowell Observatory.”

About Lowell Observatory
Founded in 1894, Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, is a renowned nonprofit research institution. It is the site of historic and groundbreaking discoveries, including the first evidence of the expanding universe and the discovery of Pluto. Today, Lowell’s astronomers utilize global ground-based and space telescopes, along with NASA spacecraft, for diverse astronomical and planetary science research. The observatory hosts more than 100,000 visitors annually for educational tours, presentations, and telescope viewing through a suite of world-class public telescopes.
