(BCM) and Thompson Street Capital Partners V, L.P. (Thompson Street) (collectively, Applicants), pursuant to section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and sections 63.03-04 of the Commission’s rules, requesting Commission approval to transfer control of BCM to Thompson Street. See 47 U.S.C. § 214; 47 CFR §§ 63.03-04. Applicants also filed applications for the transfer of authorizations associated with international services. On September 5, 2018, Applicants filed a supplement to their domestic section 214 application. Any action on the domestic section 214 applications is without prejudice to Commission action on other related, pending applications. BCM, a New York corporation, provides competitive telecommunication services to enterprise customers throughout the United States. Thompson Street, a Delaware limited partnership, is part of a St. Louis, Missouri-based privately held investment firm with no limited partner holding a 10 percent or greater interest. The general partner for Thompson Street is Thompson Street Capital Fund V GP, L.P (Thompson Fund V GP), a Delaware limited partnership, and the general partner for Thompson Fund V GP, in turn, is Thompson Street Capital LLC (Thompson GP), a Delaware limited liability company. The sole member of Thompson GP is James A. Cooper, a U.S. citizen. Applicants state that, at closing, Thompson Street Capital Manager LLC (Thompson Manager), a Delaware limited liability company, with Mr. Cooper as its sole member, will own 20 percent of Thomas Fund V GP. Applicants state that Thompson Manager is undergoing an internal restructuring that will add Robert C. Dunn, a U.S. citizen, as a second member along with Mr. Cooper. Applicants further state that neither Thompson Street, Thompson Fund V GP, Thompson GP, Thompson Manager, Mr. Cooper, nor Mr. Dunn hold any interests in any other telecommunications provider. Pursuant to the terms of the proposed transaction, BCM will be acquired by BCM One Group Holdings, Inc. (BCM HoldCo), a newly formed Delaware corporation. Following the consummation of the transaction, Thompson Street will hold 70 percent of the equity and voting interests in BCM HoldCo. Applicants state that the other 30 percent will be held separately and independently by a combination of current equity owners of BCM, certain lender co-investors, and other commercial partners, of which, no single individual or entity will hold more than a 10 percent or greater interest. Applicants assert the proposed transaction is entitled to presumptive streamlined treatment under section 63.03(b)(1)(ii) of the Commission’s rules and that a grant of the application will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity. 47 CFR § 63.03(b)(1)(ii).
