Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 20, 2025: 36 risks under these headings, as written.⁴

• Risks Related to the Proposed Merger with Verizon
• The Merger may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated or at all, which could adversely affect our stock price, business, financial condition and results of operations.
• The pendency of the Merger could negatively impact our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.
• Until the completion of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, we are prohibited from entering into certain transactions and taking certain actions that might otherwise be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.
• We have incurred, and will continue to incur, direct and indirect costs as a result of the Merger.
• Litigation challenging the Merger Agreement may prevent the Merger from being consummated within the expected timeframe or at all.
• Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
• We have a significant amount of indebtedness, and we may incur substantially more debt in the future. Such debt and debt service obligations may adversely affect us.
• Economic uncertainty and volatility in the U.S. and global financial markets could limit our ability to access capital or increase the cost of capital needed to fund business operations, including our fiber expansion plans.
• The agreements governing our current indebtedness contain various covenants that impose restrictions on us and certain of our subsidiaries that may reduce our operating and financial flexibility and we may not be able to satisfy our obligations under these or other, future debt arrangements.
• Frontier is primarily a holding company and, as a result, we rely on the receipt of funds from our subsidiaries in order to meet our cash needs and service our indebtedness, including the notes.
• We expect to make contributions to our pension plan in future years, the amount of which will be impacted by volatility in asset values related to Frontier’s pension plan and changes in pension plan assumptions.

Legal proceedings

We are party to various legal proceedings (including individual, class and putative class actions as well as federal and state governmental investigations) arising in the normal course of our business covering a wide range of matters and types of claims including, but not limited to, general contracts, billing disputes, rights of access, taxes and surcharges, consumer protection and privacy, trademark, copyright and patent infringement, employment, regulatory, tort, claims of competitors and disputes with other carriers. Such matters are subject to uncertainty and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable. However, we believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, after considering insurance coverage or other indemnities to which we are entitled, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For more information regarding pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings see Note 20 - ‘‘Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees’’ to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
