Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of EarthLink will receive 0.818 shares of Windstream common stock for each share of EarthLink common stock. Based on Windstream’s closing stock price on November 4, 2016, EarthLink shareholders would have received compensation valued at approximately $5.92 per share.
