On November 30, 2012, Cogeco Cable completed the acquisition of ABB, an independent cable system operator formed in 2003, serving about 495,000 PSU-s and providing Analogue and Digital Television, as well as HSI and Telephony services. The acquisition is an attractive entry point into the United States of America ("US") market, providing a significant increase in PSU base with further growth potential, a high quality network infrastructure and the ability for the Corporation-s management to leverage its core knowledge and operational experience. The transaction, valued at US$1.36 billion, was financed through a combination of cash on hand, a draw-down on the existing Term Revolving Facility of approximately US$588 million and US$660 million of borrowings under a new committed non-recourse debt financing at ABB. Ranked the 12th- largest cable television system operator in the US, ABB operates cable systems in Western Pennsylvania, Southern Florida, Maryland, Delaware and South Carolina.
