Regional Contracts with North American Portability Management LLC (“NAPM”)
On April 7, 2015, the publication “Communications Daily” included the following report:
“North American Portability Management negotiated an agreement with Neustar over the transition from the company to Telcordia as the local number portability administrator, an FCC spokesman told us Monday. The spokesman didn’t reveal the terms of the agreement, including whether it involved an agreement by Neustar not to challenge the commission’s March 26 order conditionally naming Telcordia the LNPA and authorizing NAPM to begin contract negotiations (see 1503260043). NAPM agreed “to terms with Neustar [on a separate agreement] that will ensure a smooth and cost-effective transition,” the spokesman said in a statement. Neustar didn’t comment Monday. The company, in an SEC filing Friday, said NAPM hadn’t given Neustar notice that it’s not renewing the LNPA contract with Neustar by the April 1 deadline. The passing of the deadline automatically renews Neustar’s contract as the LNPA for another year, under the same terms and conditions as the previous contract, including pricing, Neustar’s filing said. Several telecom attorneys following the proceeding said Monday the notice had been expected and they were confused that it had not been issued. The FCC spokesman said only that the SEC filing was a formality but wouldn’t elaborate. Telcordia also didn’t comment. -KM”
As previously disclosed in NeuStar, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 3, 2015, the NAPM, a consortium of United States telecommunications services providers that manage the United States local number portability system on behalf of participating carriers, did not provide a Non-Renewal Notice to the Company by April 1, 2015 in accordance with the Company’s seven regional contracts with the NAPM. Accordingly, each regional contract with the NAPM has automatically renewed under the current terms and conditions. The Company and NAPM are negotiating possible amendments to the terms of the regional contracts. No assurance can be provided that the negotiations will result in a binding agreement between the parties.
The information in this report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
