    Liberty Latin America intends to finance the $1.95 billion acquisition (plus fees and expenses) through a combination of $2.2 billion in borrowings on the combined Acquisition Assets and Liberty Puerto Rico (including refinancing $922.5 million in existing term loans at Liberty Puerto Rico) and the remaining approximately $750 million from Liberty Latin America’s committed liquidity of $2.0 billion at June 30, 2019. As a result of the contemplated financing, we anticipate the pro forma net leverage ratio3 of our combined Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands assets will be ~4.25x (before synergies), which results in a decline in net leverage from 4.5x as reported at June 30, 2019 for Liberty Puerto Rico.

    The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including reviews by the United States Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice. We expect the transaction to close in Q2 2020.

    Liontree LLC and Credit Suisse are acting as financial advisors to Liberty Latin America on the transaction.
