Zayo Completes Divestiture of Minnesota Local Exchange Carrier

BOULDER, Colo. – July 31, 2018 Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) today announced that it has completed the sale of the Scott-Rice Telephone Co., a Minnesota ILEC (incumbent local exchange carrier), for $42 million to Nuvera (formerly New Ulm Telecom, Inc.).

Zayo acquired Scott-Rice Telephone as part of its March 2017 purchase of Electric Lightwave. Since the acquisition, it has been managed separately but within Zayo’s Allstream business segment. Scott-Rice Telephone serves residential and business customers in areas of Scott and Rice counties southwest of Minneapolis.

“The completion of this sale is an important step toward the separation of the Allstream assets,” said Matt Steinfort, Zayo’s CFO. “It better positions us to focus and execute on our core communications infrastructure business.”
