The combined company will have the national breadth and local depth to provide a compelling array of broadband products and services including high speed Internet, video entertainment, data hosting and managed services, as well as fiber to cell tower connectivity and other high bandwidth services. The combination, which would have had pro forma 2009 revenues of $19.8 billion, is expected to be immediately accretive to free cash flow per share (excluding integration costs) and will strengthen the sustainability of CenturyLink's dividend while materially lowering the Company's payout ratio. The transaction is expected to generate annual operating cost synergies of approximately $575 million, which are expected to be fully realized three to five years following closing. The transaction also is expected to generate annual capital expenditure synergies of approximately $50 million within the first two years after close. The combination creates a strong employee base with similar customer-focused cultures, committed to providing quality service and being the broadband provider of choice to all customer segments. http://www.centurylinkqwestmerger.com/Thu, 22 Apr 2010 00:06:00 -0400 CenturyLink and Qwest Agree to Merge CenturyLink to Become National, Industry-Leading Communications Company with Pro Forma 2009 Revenues of $19.8 Billion http://www.centurylinkqwestmerger.com/downloads/pressreleases/CenturyLink%20Qwest%20Merger%20Press%20Release%204-22-2010.pdfThu, 22 Apr 2010 00:06:10 -0400
