Onvoy has several subsidiaries that provide competitive communications services. 2 Onvoy is indirectly held by GTCR Partners X/A&C LP and its general partner, GTCR Investment X LLC, both Delaware entities. 3 Pursuant to the terms of the proposed transaction, Onvoy will acquire all of the outstanding equity interest in Inteliquent. Specifically, Onvoy Igloo Merger Sub, Inc.
