Explanatory note

 

This Amendment No.2 (this “Schedule 13D Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 8, 2021, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 13, 2021, is being filed on behalf of Project 8 Buyer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), ALSK Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Project 8 Capital, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdco”), which is the sole owner of Parent, and ATN International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ATN”), which is an owner of Holdco, with respect to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alaska Communications”).

 

Other than as set forth below, all Items in the Schedule 13D are materially unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Schedule 13D Amendment, which are not defined herein, have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 8, 2021.

 

This is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 8, 2021 and constitutes an “exit filing” for the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

 

(a), (b) The information contained in the cover page of this Schedule 13D Amendment is incorporated herein by reference. As a result of the Voting Agreement Stockholder’s open market sales between January 11, 2021 and January 25, 2021, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the power to vote, and to be the beneficial owner of 2,075,359 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 3.86% of the Common Stock deemed outstanding under applicable SEC rules. The Reporting Persons became aware of the Voting Stockholder’s sale of Common Stock through the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Voting Agreement Stockholder with the SEC on January 27, 2021 (the “Voting Agreement Stockholder Schedule 13D/A”). The foregoing beneficial ownership calculations are based upon the representations of Alaska Communications and the Voting Agreement Stockholder, including those contained in the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement and Voting Agreement Stockholder 13D/A.

 

 

 

Signature

 

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
