Actionable Insight • Neutral

Monitor CPUC regulatory timeline for Tier 2 Advice Letter and CLEC change-of-control approvals, which are gating items for both closings. The First Closing outside date of March 31, 2027 creates a hard deadline that could trigger termination if approvals are delayed.

Risk Factors

  • CPUC regulatory approvals may be delayed or denied, preventing or delaying closings
  • No termination fee protects IPM if deal fails to close
  • AdTech retains operational control during Second Interim Period, creating integration risk
  • Earnout is small ($100K max) and tied to existing customer revenue retention, not growth
