As previously disclosed, on April 14, 2020, Frontier Communications and certain of its subsidiaries commenced voluntary cases (the " Chapter 11 Cases ") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (" Bankruptcy Code ") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the " Bankruptcy Court "). On August 27, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed Frontier Communications' plan of reorganization (the " Plan ") for the resolution of the outstanding claims against and interests in Frontier Communications pursuant to section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The implementation of the Plan is dependent upon a number of conditions typical in similar reorganizations, including the obtainment of regulatory approval. On September 17, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final order authorizing Frontier Communications to obtain debtor-in-possession financing, including approval for this offering.
