Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
On March 31, 1995, the Alaska Public Utilities Commission
(Commission) issued a bench order in the proceeding addressing the
application of AT&T Corp. (AT&T) to acquire all of the shares of
Alascom, Inc., filed pursuant to a previously executed stock purchase
agreement between AT&T, the Company, and Alascom. (See Part 1, Item
1, "Business - Telecommunications Operations - Alaska Market
Restructuring" on page 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1994.) The Commission's Order approved
the application of AT&T, subject to conditions which (i) define the
scope of the Company's covenants not to compete with AT&T in the Alaska
interexchange marketplace for three years following the sale of
Alascom, (ii) require AT&T to obtain Commission approval of any change
in the business name of Alascom, (iii) require AT&T to notify the
Commission by June 1, 1995 as to which Alascom-related records AT&T
proposed to maintain outside Alaska, and (iv) require AT&T to notify
the Commission of the date it would close the purchase transaction.
The Commission also indicated its intent to issue a subsequent
substantive order providing further explanation of its decision.
The Company is still awaiting approval by the Federal
Communications Commission of the proposed sale of Alascom, which
approval is a requirement of the stock purchase agreement, and
continues to anticipate a closing of the transaction by mid-year 1995.
