CCCC is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Consolidated Communications, Inc., an Illinois corporation, which, in turn, is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CCHI, a Delaware corporation.

As a result, CCCC will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of NextCape. Prior to consummation, CCHI will partially assign its international section 214 authority to CCCC. CCHI will retain its international section 214 authority (ITC-214-20030808-00393). In addition, Consolidated Communications Enterprise Services, Inc, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CCI and CCHI, will assign customers to CCCC. CCCC will provide international service to its customers pursuant to its international section 214 authority for global facilities-based and resale service (ITC-214-20230808-00158). Upon consummation, NextCape will be wholly owned by Alphaboost Holdings, LLC, which, in turn, is wholly owned by Alphaboost Parent, LLC (Alphaboost Parent), all Delaware entities. Alphaboost Parent is wholly owned by Palisade Americas Investment, LLC, a Delaware entity, which, in turn, is wholly owned by Palisade Diversified Infrastructure Fund No. 3 (PDIF3), an Australian entity. Pinnacle RE Services Limited (Pinnacle RE), an Australian entity, is the trustee of PDIF3. Pinnacle RE is wholly owned by Pinnacle Investment Management Limited (PIML), which, in turn, is wholly owned by Pinnacle Investment Management Group Limited (PIMGL), both Australian entities. PIMGL is a public traded company in which two Australian entities and one citizen of Australia hold a 10% or greater interest: HSBC Custody Nominees (Australia) Limited (20.76%); JP Morgan Nominees Australia Pty Limited (10.72%); and Steven Wilson (11.28%). Palisade Investment Partners Limited (PIPL) is the manager of PDIF3. The direct owners of PIPL are: PIML (35.9%), Palisade Officers Shareholding Trust (POST) (21.8%), House of Lloyds Trust (18.47%), Riggs Family Trust (13.83%), and Superannuation Fund (5%), all Australian entities, and Ian Macoun (5%), an Australian citizen.

PAM is expected to be owned by Palisade Investment Management Americas, LLC (70-100%), both Delaware entities, and a yet to be formed entity which is expected to be organized in Delaware and may be owned by two Australian citizens, that will have up to 30% interest in PAM. According to the Applicants, no other individual or entity will hold a 10% or greater direct equity or voting interest in NextCape or CCCC. The Commission determined in the Executive Branch Review Process Order that it would generally exclude from referral to the Executive Branch applications where the Applicants have "an existing mitigation agreement, there are no new reportable foreign owners of the applicant since the effective date of the mitigation agreement, and the applicant agrees to continue to comply with the terms of that mitigation agreement." Process Reform for Executive Branch Review of Certain FCC Applications and Petitions Involving Foreign Ownership, IB Docket 16-155, Report and Order, 35 FCC Rcd 10927, 10939, para. 30 (2020) (Executive Branch Review Process Order); see also 47 CFR § 1.40001(a)(2)(iii). The Applicants argue that the Application qualifies for an exclusion from referral to the Executive Branch since it meets those criteria. The Applicants state that Alphaboost Holdings, the parent of NextCape, is party to a December 14, 2023 Letter of Agreement from Michael Reynolds, Pak Ka Kelvin Wong, and Anand Vadapalli, Alphaboost Holdings, LLC, to the Chief, Foreign Investment Review Section, and Deputy Chief, Compliance and Enforcement, Foreign Investment Review Section, on behalf of the Assistant Attorney General for National Security, United States Department of Justice, National Security Division (Dec. 14, 2023) (2023 LOA). See ITC-T/C-20230120-00004, International Authorizations Granted, Report No. TEL-02326, Public Notice, DA 23-1212 (OIA rel. Dec. 29, 2023). The Applicants further state that the 2023 LOA remains in place, that there are no new reportable foreign owners of Alphaboost Holdings since the effective date of the 2023 LOA, and that NextCape agrees to comply with the terms of the 2023 LOA. We find that the Applicants have made a showing that this Application comes within an exclusion from referral to the Executive Branch for national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, and trade policy review. Although we are not formally referring the Application, we will provide a courtesy copy of this public notice to the Executive Branch agencies. See Executive Branch Review Process Order at 10939, para 30, n. 81.
