NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Other Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. All normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ.

Adoption of New Accounting Principles

There have been no material developments related to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and note disclosures, from those disclosed in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, that would be expected to impact the Company.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations

On August 26, 2020, Sprint Corporation ("Sprint"), an indirect subsidiary of T-Mobile US, Inc., ("T-Mobile"), on behalf of and as the direct or indirect owner of Sprint PCS, delivered notice to the Company exercising its option to purchase the assets and operations of our Wireless operations for 90% of the “Entire Business Value” (as defined under our affiliate agreement and determined pursuant to the appraisal process set forth therein). Shortly thereafter, the Company committed to a plan to sell the discontinued Wireless operations.

On July 1, 2021, pursuant to the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated May 28, 2021, between Shentel and T-Mobile, Shentel completed the sale to T-Mobile of its Wireless assets and operations for cash consideration of approximately $1.94 billion, inclusive of the approximately $60 million settlement of the waived management fees by Sprint, and net of certain transaction expenses (the “Transaction”). The Company’s Wireless assets and operations were classified as discontinued operations after Sprint delivered notice to the Company exercising its option to purchase the Wireless assets and operations on August 26, 2020.

The assets and liabilities that transferred in the sale were presented as held for sale within our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and discontinued operations within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This disposal group excludes the accounts receivable and certain current liabilities generated by our Wireless operations because they are expected to be settled separately from the sale. Such accounts receivable totaled $49.1 million and $51.7 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and such current liabilities totaled $8.0 million and $6.1 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The transaction is structured as an asset sale for income tax purposes. As a result, no current or deferred tax assets or liabilities are included within the disposal group. While our long-term debt does not transfer in the sale, its provisions required us to repay all of the debt upon consummation of the sale. Our debt is therefore presented outside of the disposal group as a current liability. Our related interest rate swap liabilities are also presented outside of the disposal group as a current liability, because management terminated them at consummation. Because repayment of the debt is contractually triggered by the sale, the related interest expense is presented within discontinued operations under the relevant authoritative guidance.

Table of Contents

The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities, which are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets, are as follows:


(in thousands)	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020

Income before income taxes	70,413		40,128		136,541		58,315
Income tax expense	18,847		10,345		36,503		15,402
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	51,566	$	29,783	$	100,038	$	42,913

Under the relevant authoritative guidance, consummation of the sale will trigger or accelerate the recognition of certain expense related to contingent deal advisory fees, severance costs, recognition of our interest rate swap losses in net income, and loss on debt extinguishment. We estimate these expenses to be approximately $34 million.

Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Our Broadband segment provides broadband data, video and voice services to residential and commercial customers in portions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, via fiber optic, hybrid fiber coaxial cable, and fixed wireless

Table of Contents

networks. The Broadband segment also provides voice and DSL telephone services to customers in Virginia’s Shenandoah County and portions of adjacent counties as a Rural Local Exchange Carrier (“RLEC”).

These contracts are generally cancellable at the customer’s discretion without penalty at any time. We allocate the total transaction price in these transactions based upon the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service. We generally recognize these revenues over time as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the service, with the exception of equipment sales and home wiring, which are recognized as revenue at a point in time when control transfers and when installation is complete, respectively. Installation fees, charged upfront without transfer of commensurate goods or services to the customer, are allocated to services and are recognized ratably over the longer of the contract term or the period in which the unrecognized fee remains material to the contract, which we estimate to be about one year. Additionally, the Company incurs commission and installation costs related to in-house and third-party vendors which are capitalized and amortized over the expected weighted average customer life which is approximately six years.

Our Broadband segment also provides Ethernet and Wavelength fiber optic services to commercial fiber customers under capacity agreements, and the related revenue is recognized over time. In some cases, non-refundable upfront fees are charged for connecting commercial fiber customers to our fiber network. Those amounts are recognized ratably over the longer of the contract term or the period in which the unrecognized fee remains material to the respective contract. A related contract liability of $3.7 million at June 30, 2021, is expected to be recognized into revenue at the rate of approximately $0.2 million per year.

The Broadband segment also leases dedicated fiber optic strands to customers as part of “dark fiber” agreements, which are accounted for as leases under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases, ("ASC 842").

Our Tower segment leases space on owned cell towers to our Wireless and Broadband segments, and to other wireless carriers. Revenue from these leases is accounted for under ASC 842.

Refer to Note 14, Segment Reporting, for a summary of these revenue streams.

Below is a summary of the Broadband segment's capitalized contract acquisition and fulfillment costs:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 4. Investments

Investments consist of the following:

SERP Investments at fair value	$	2,228	$	2,687
Cost method investments	11,025		10,536
Equity method investments	540		546
Total investments	$	13,793	$	13,769

SERP Investments at Fair Value: The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) is a benefit plan that provides deferred compensation to certain employees. The Company holds the related investments in a rabbi trust as a source of funding for future payments under the plan. The SERP’s investments were designated as trading securities and will be liquidated and paid out to the participants upon retirement. The benefit obligation to participants is always equal to the value of the SERP assets under ASC 710, Compensation. Changes to the investments' fair value are presented in Other income (expense), while the reciprocal changes in the liability are presented in selling, general and administrative expense. At June 30, 2021, an additional $0.8 million of SERP investments were presented as prepaid expenses and other (current assets) as we intend to liquidate certain investments to pay the current portion of our SERP obligation.

Cost Method Investments: Our investment in CoBank ACB’s Class A common stock represented substantially all of our cost method investments with a balance of $10.3 million and $9.8 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We recognized approximately $1.0 million of patronage income in Other income (expense) during both of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and approximately $2.0 million during both of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Historically, approximately 75% of the patronage distributions were collected in cash and 25% in equity.

Equity Method Investments: At June 30, 2021, the Company had a 20.0% ownership interest in Valley Network Partnership (“ValleyNet”). The Company and ValleyNet purchase capacity on one another’s fiber network. We recognized revenue of $0.2 million and $0.3 million from providing service to ValleyNet during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We recognized cost of service of $0.6 million for the use of ValleyNet’s network during both of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $1.1 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we implemented a restructuring plan whereby certain employees will leave the Company by 2022. At the onset of the plan we recognized a restructuring accrual for severance benefits payable to impacted employees totaling $0.8 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we paid approximately $0.6 million of severance benefits and we recognized additional expenses of $0.04 million and $0.3 million, presented in continuing and discontinued operations, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, $0.7 million and $0.5 million of expense is presented in continuing and discontinued operations, respectively.

Note 8. Leases

We lease various telecommunications sites, fiber optic cable routes, warehouses, retail stores, and office facilities for use in our business. These agreements include fixed rental payments as well as variable rental payments, such as those based on relevant inflation indices. The accounting lease term includes optional renewal periods that we are reasonably certain to exercise based on our assessment of relevant contractual and economic factors. The related lease payments are discounted at lease commencement using the Company's incremental borrowing rate in order to measure the lease liability and right of use asset.

The incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company uses the observable unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjusts that rate to approximate a collateralized rate. At June 30, 2021, our operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 21.0 years and a weighted average discount rate of 4.5%. Our finance leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 13.8 years and a weighted average discount rate of 5.2%.

During each of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $2.0 million and $1.4 million of operating lease expense, respectively. We recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million of interest and depreciation expense on finance leases during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Operating lease expense is presented in cost of service or selling, general and administrative expense based on the use of the relevant facility. Variable lease payments and short-term lease expense were both immaterial. We remitted $1.3 million and $1.0 million of operating lease payments during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We also obtained $2.4 million and $1.5 million of leased assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We recognized $2.3 million and $2.1 million of operating lease revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the cell site colocation space and dedicated fiber optic strands that we lease to our customers, which is included in Service revenue and other in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Substantially all of our lease revenue relates to fixed lease payments.

Note 9. Debt

The prior Credit Agreement included a $75 million, five-year undrawn revolving credit facility, as well as the following term loans:


(in thousands)	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Term loan A-1	$	214,870	$	229,437
Term loan A-2	465,987		468,481

Less: unamortized loan fees	8,256		9,455
Total debt, net of unamortized loan fees	$	672,601	$	688,463

Term Loan A-1 bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%, while Term Loan A-2 bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%. LIBOR resets monthly. Our cash payments for interest were $7.7 million and $10.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in its credit agreements.

As discussed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations, upon consummation of the Transaction, the Company used approximately $681 million of the proceeds received from the sale to fully repay all outstanding principal amounts under, and terminate, the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

New Credit Agreement: On July 1, 2021, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”). The New Credit Agreement provides for three credit facilities (collectively, the “Facilities”), in an aggregate amount equal to $400 million: (i) a $100 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), (ii) a $150 million five-year delay draw amortizing term loan (the “Term Loan A-1”) and (iii) a $150 million seven-year delay draw amortizing term loan (the “Term Loan A-2” and, together with the Term Loan A-1, the “Term Loans”). The New Credit Agreement includes a provision under which the Company may request that additional term loans be made to it in an amount not to exceed the sum of (1) the greater of (a) $75 million and (b) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with the New Credit Agreement, plus (2) an additional unlimited amount subject to a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of 4.00:1.00, calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with the New Credit Agreement, subject to the receipt of commitments from one or more lenders for any such additional term loans and other customary conditions.

Rate quotations provided by a group of banks that sustain LIBOR will no longer be required after 2021. As a result, it is uncertain whether LIBOR will continue to be quoted after 2021. Our term loans and revolver identify LIBOR as a reference rate and mature after 2021. Alternative reference rates that replace LIBOR may not yield the same or similar economic results over the terms of the financial instruments. The transition from LIBOR could result in us paying higher or lower interest rates on our current LIBOR-indexed term loans. Our New Credit Agreement includes provisions that provide for the identification of a LIBOR replacement rate. Due to the uncertainty regarding the transition from LIBOR-indexed financial instruments, including when it will happen, and the manner in which an alternative reference rate will apply, we cannot yet reasonably estimate the expected financial impact of the LIBOR transition.

Note 10. Derivatives and Hedging

The Company's interest rate swaps are pay-fixed (1.16%), receive-variable (one month LIBOR) that hedged approximately 27% of outstanding debt with outstanding notional amounts totaling $180.4 million and $289.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The fair value of these instruments was estimated using an income approach and observable market inputs. The hedge was determined to be highly effective and therefore all of the change in its fair value was recognized through other comprehensive income.

As discussed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations, upon consummation of the Transaction, the Company used approximately $3 million of the proceeds received from the sale to fully satisfy its obligations under, and terminate, the interest rate swaps.

The table below summarizes changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component:

There were fewer than 200 thousand anti-dilutive awards outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

We are committed to make payments to satisfy our lease liabilities. The scheduled payments under those obligations are summarized in Note 8, Leases. We are also committed to make annual payments of approximately $108.0 thousand on our FCC spectrum license obligation through 2039.

The Company is subject to claims and legal actions that may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that any of these pending claims or legal actions are either probable or reasonably possible of a material loss.

Note 14. Segment Reporting

The divestiture of our Wireless operations represents a strategic shift in the Company’s business and qualifies as a discontinued operation. As a result, the operating results and cash flows related to the Wireless segment have been reflected as discontinued operations in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The tables below reflect the results of operations of the Company's reportable segments in continuing operations, consistent with internal reporting used by the Company.

Declaration of the Special Dividend. On July 2, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $18.75 per share on the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Special Dividend”). The Special Dividend is payable on August 2, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 13, 2021. Since the Special Dividend is more than 25% of the current share price, in accordance with NASDAQ rules, the ex-dividend date will be August 3, 2021, the first business day after the payment date.

The Company currently expects approximately $14.5 million of the Special Dividend to be reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock via the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The reinvested dividends are expected to be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in market transactions during the thirty days following the dividend payment date.

The total payout to Shentel shareholders, before any reinvestment via the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, will be approximately $937 million.

Revenue

Revenue increased approximately $6.4 million, or 11.7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020, driven by growth of $6.1 million, or 12.2%, in the Broadband segment and $0.4 million, or 8.3%, in the Tower segment. Refer to the discussion of the results of operations for the Tower and Broadband segments, included within this quarterly report, for additional information.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased approximately $1.8 million, or 3.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020, driven by $7.1 million in incremental Broadband operating expenses incurred primarily to support the expansion of our Glo Fiber and Beam fixed wireless services partially offset by a $5.6 million decline in Corporate expenses due to a combination of lower cash and stock compensation, legal, and transaction fees. The cash compensation expense decline was driven by lower expected incentive bonus and the workforce reduction. The decline in stock compensation expense was due to delay of annual restricted stock grants.

Earlier in the year, we implemented a workforce reduction plan whereby certain employees will leave the Company by 2022. We recognized a restructuring accrual for severance benefits payable to those employees totaling less than $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, and expect to incur an additional $1.4 million of severance expense from continuing operations during the third quarter of 2021, following the sale of our Wireless assets and operations. The workforce reduction plan is expected to decrease the Company's annualized run-rate operating expenses for continuing operations by approximately $4.2 million.

Income tax expense (benefit)

Income tax expense increased approximately $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a $1.0 million non-cash charge related to the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities for a change in tax law in the state of West Virginia and changes in taxable income.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, increased by $21.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by a $22.9 million decline in depreciation and amortization primarily as a result of ceasing depreciation and amortization of assets held for sale during the third quarter of 2020, a $14.5 million decline in cost of services primarily due to ceasing amortization on our right of use assets under operating leases during the third quarter of 2020, a $3.5 million decline in selling, general and administrative due primarily to lower compensation and commissions, partially offset by a $9.7 million decline in service revenue and other related to the travel revenue settlement received from Sprint in 2020, and an $8.5 million of higher income tax driven by changes in taxable income.

The cash compensation expense decline was driven primarily by lower expected incentive bonus and the workforce reduction. The decline in stock compensation was due to the delay of annual restricted stock grants. The decline in professional fees was driven by a reduction in temporary labor and audit fees primarily as a result of improvements in our internal control over financial reporting.

Earlier in the year we implemented a workforce reduction plan whereby certain employees will leave the Company by 2022. We recognized a restructuring accrual for severance benefits payable to those employees totaling $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and expect to incur an additional $1.4 million of severance expense within income from continuing operations when the sale of our Wireless assets and operations is completed, in the third quarter of 2021. The workforce reduction plan is expected to decrease the Company's annualized run-rate operating expenses for continuing operations by approximately $4.2 million.

Income tax expense (benefit)

Income tax expense of approximately $3.1 million increased approximately $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a $1.0 million non-cash charge related to the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities for a change in tax law in the state of West Virginia and changes in taxable income.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, increased by $57.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by a $47.7 million decline in depreciation and amortization primarily as a result of ceasing depreciation and amortization of assets held for sale during the third quarter of

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

On July 1, 2021, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Shentel completed the sale to T-Mobile of its Wireless assets and operations for cash consideration of approximately $1.94 billion, inclusive of the approximately $60 million settlement of the waived management fees by Sprint, net of certain transaction expenses. The Company used approximately $684 million of the proceeds received from the sale to fully repay all outstanding principal amounts under, and terminate, the then-existing credit agreement (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), refer to Note 9, Debt , for additional information, and to fully repay and terminate our interest rate swaps, refer to Note 10, Derivatives and Hedging.

Sources and Uses of Cash: Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, proceeds available under our New Credit Agreement, and proceeds from the disposition of our Wireless assets and operations.

As of June 30, 2021 our cash and cash equivalents totaled $248.8 million. Giving effect to the closing of the Transaction, the Special Dividend, termination of the Prior Credit Agreement and the execution of the New Credit Agreement (as defined below) as if those events had occurred on June 30, 2021, the Company would have had approximately $480 million of liquidity as of June 30, 2021 on a pro forma basis.

Operating activities from continuing operations generated approximately $28.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing a decrease of $1.1 million compared with 2020, driven by changes in working capital.

Operating activities from discontinued operations generated $125.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $99.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 driven by an increase in operating income.

Net cash used in investing activities for continuing operations increased $25.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the following:

•$26.7 million increase in capital expenditures due primarily to higher spending in the Broadband segment driven by our Glo Fiber and Beam market expansions.

•Net cash used in investing activities for discontinued operations decreased $12.8 million to $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to postponement of expansion projects in contemplation of the pending sale of our Wireless assets and operations.

Net cash used in financing activities for continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was consistent with the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net cash used in financing activities for discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021, was consistent with the prior year.

Indebtedness: On July 1, 2021, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions party thereto. The New Credit Agreement provides for the following three credit facilities (collectively, the “Facilities”), in an aggregate amount equal to $400 million: (i) a $100 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), (ii) a $150 million five-year delay draw amortizing term loan (the “Term Loan A-1”) and (iii) a $150 million seven-year delay draw amortizing term loan (the “Term Loan A-2” and, together with the Term Loan A-1, the “Term Loans”). The New Credit Agreement includes a provision under which the Company may request that additional term loans be made to it in an amount not to exceed the sum of (1) the greater of (a) $75 million and (b) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with the New Credit Agreement, plus (2) an additional unlimited amount subject to a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of 4.00:1.00, calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with the New Credit Agreement, subject to the receipt of commitments from one or more lenders for any such additional term loans and other customary conditions.

The availability of the Facilities to the Company is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions set forth in the New Credit Agreement. The Company may use the proceeds from the Revolver and the Term Loans to finance capital expenditures, provide working capital, and for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. If drawn on, the Term Loans will be repaid in quarterly principal installments commencing on September 30, 2023, with the unpaid balance of the Term Loans due at maturity, as set forth in the New Credit Agreement.

We have not made any borrowing under the New Credit Agreement as of this date. We do not expect to draw upon any portion of the New Credit Agreement until the fourth quarter of 2021.

Table of Contents

Disposition of Wireless: We currently expect that the after-tax proceeds from the July 1, 2021, sale of our Wireless assets and operations will be approximately $1.5 billion. The transaction will be accounted for as an asset sale for income tax purposes. Cash proceeds from the sale were required to be used to immediately repay our outstanding indebtedness. Principal payments on our debt have thus been presented as cash used to finance our discontinued operations. The Company used a portion of the after-tax proceeds from the sale of our Wireless assets and operations to, among other things:

•Repay and terminate approximately $684 million of outstanding term loans under our Prior Credit Agreement, and associated interest rate swap liabilities, concurrent with the closing of the disposition;

•Issue a special dividend of $18.75 per share to Company shareholders, or approximately $937 million in the aggregate (the "Special Dividend"), payable on August 2, 2021, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 13, 2021.

We expect our cash on hand, proceeds received from the disposition of Wireless assets and operations, cash flow from continuing operations, and availability of funds from our New Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for business operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to raise additional financing to support the Company's planned capital expenditures.

We expect our capital expenditures to exceed the cash flow provided from continuing operations through 2023, as we expand our Glo Fiber and Beam broadband services into new markets.

The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimate depending on the demand for our products and services, new market developments and expansion opportunities.

Our cash flows from continuing operations could be adversely affected by events outside our control, including, without limitation, changes in overall economic conditions, regulatory requirements, changes in technologies, demand for our products and services, availability of labor resources and capital, natural disasters, pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments, such as COVID-19, and other conditions. Our ability to attract and maintain a sufficient customer base, particularly in our Broadband markets, is critical to our ability to maintain a positive cash flow from operations. The foregoing events individually or collectively could affect our results.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $680.9 million of gross variable rate debt outstanding, (i.e. outstanding principal on term loans under the Prior Credit Agreement), bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 2.2%. An increase in market interest rates of 1.00% would add approximately $6.7 million to annual interest expense, excluding the effect of our interest rate swaps. The swaps cover notional principal equal to $180.4 million, or approximately 26.5% of gross variable rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2021. The Company is required to pay a combined fixed rate of approximately 1.16% and receive a variable rate based on one month LIBOR (0.09% at June 30, 2021), to manage a portion of its interest rate risk. Changes in the net interest paid or received under the swaps would offset a corresponding portion of the change in interest expense on the variable rate debt outstanding. The outstanding term loans under the Prior Credit Agreement, and associated interest rate swap liabilities, were repaid and terminated on July 1, 2021.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the Principal Executive Officer, and the Senior Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer, who is the Principal Financial and Principal Accounting Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the

applicable enhanced controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. As remediation has not yet been completed, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures continued to be ineffective as of June 30, 2021.

In light of the material weaknesses, management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management has concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company began to evaluate the impact of the sale of the Wireless segment and associated subsequent events on its control framework. The Company also continued execution of Management's Remediation Plan as disclosed in “Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Aside from these continued improvements, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company maintains a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) for the benefit of its shareholders. When shareholders remove shares from the DRIP, the Company issues whole shares in book entry form, pays out cash for any fractional shares, and cancels the fractional shares.

Based on the current number of shares enrolled in the DRIP, the Company currently expects approximately $14.5 million of the Special Dividend to be reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock via the DRIP. The reinvested dividends are expected to be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in market transactions during the thirty days following the dividend payment date. Participation in the DRIP is subject to change at the discretion of the shareholders.
