Dear [NAME]:
As one of our valued business partners, we want to let you know about an agreement recently announced to merge Enventis with Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL).
We are very proud of our long history and are excited about this business combination where together with Consolidated Communications we will continue to build on our success.
Consolidated Communications is a telecommunications company much like Enventis with roots going back more than a century and strong ties to its customers and the communities it serves. They have transformed much like Enventis and today are a leading business and broadband solutions provider. We share similar core values and a commitment to delivering excellent service to our customers at competitive prices. We believe the combined company will make us a stronger competitor with greater scale and resources that will benefit our customers with expanded services across an 11-state, fiber-rich network.
We expect the merger to be complete later this year following the necessary approvals. Until then, Enventis will continue to operate as an independent company. As we move forward, we will keep you updated on any pertinent new information that may affect our account. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact our Accounts Payable Department at 507-386-3518.
Sincerely,
John Finke
President and Chief Executive Officer
Enventis Corporation
Please see reverse side for additional important information.
