COGENT COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS INC

Previous wording

Our total indebtedness, at par, at March 31, 2024 was $1.5 billion and includes $500.0 million of our 3.50% senior secured notes due in May 2026 (“2026 Notes”) and $450.0 million of our 7.00% senior unsecured notes due in June 2027 (“2027 Notes”). Our 2026 Notes require interest payments of $17.5 million per year and our 2027 Notes require interest payments of $31.5 million per year, each paid semi-annually. All of our noteholders have the right to be paid the principal and any applicable premium upon an event of default and upon certain designated events, such as certain changes of control. Our total indebtedness at March 31, 2024 included $517.5 million of finance lease obligations for dark fiber primarily under 15 to 43 year IRUs. Our total indebtedness March 31, 2024 excludes $387.5 million of operating lease liabilities which were required to be recorded as right-to-use assets and operating lease liabilities. The amount of our IRU finance lease obligations may be impacted due to our expansion activities, the timing of payments and fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary issued $206 million of secured IPv4 address revenue notes, pursuant to the Securitization completed on May 2, 2024. If we do not have sufficient funds to pay the interest, principal and premium related to these obligations at the time we are obligated to do so, we could be forced into in bankruptcy, or we may only be able to raise the necessary funds on unfavorable terms.
