Summary: WCT Shareholders Approve Merger with Frontier
Rochester, New York -- May 18, 1995 -- At a meeting held in Santa
Barbara, California on May 17, the shareholders of WCT
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: WCTI) approved the company s merger
with Frontier Corporation (NYSE: FRO). WCT is a facilities-based
long distance carrier with service in 45 states and switches in
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia,
Atlanta and Seattle. The company, which has annualized revenues
of approximately $150 million, will be merged with Frontier s
long distance operation, Frontier Communications International.
Filings of merger documents were anticipated today in the
states of Delaware, where the subsidiary of Frontier used for the
merger is incorporated, and Washington, the state of
incorporation of WCT. The merger will be completed upon such
filings.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Frontier will pay
$79.8 million for all the outstanding shares of WCT. Each public
shareholder of WCT will receive $5.875 per share upon completion
of the transaction, while Richard Frockt, chairman and chief
executive officer of WCT, will receive $3.75 per share. The
effective average price per share to be paid by Frontier will be
approximately $5.42, including amounts paid to option holders.
The merger brings Frontier one step closer to its goal of
nationwide long distance service. Still pending is an alliance
with ALC Communications of Detroit, which will make Frontier the
fifth largest long distance company in the country with combined
revenues in the range of $1.4 billion.
Frontier Corporation, a holding company formed on January 1,
1995, is a provider of integrated telecommunications solutions to
more than 1.5 million customers through its long distance, local
telephone and wireless communications operations. The company
was chartered in 1920 as Rochester Telephone Corporation.
