CenturyTel, Embarq merger complete
CenturyTel, Inc. and Embarq Corporation late last week announced that CenturyTel's pending acquisition of EMBARQ received approval from the Federal Communications Commission.
The merger now has received all necessary approvals, and the companies expect the merger to be effective on July 1.
"The FCC's approval is a significant and exciting milestone toward completing the merger," said Glen Post III, CenturyTel's chairman and chief executive officer. "It has been a rigorous review process and we are pleased to have the FCC's approval and recognition that the combination of CenturyTel and EMBARQ offers many benefits to our customers and the communities we serve."
"We have committed to the FCC that we will remain focused on infrastructure development and broadband deployment after completion of the merger," said Tom Gerke, EMBARQ's chief executive officer. "Our combined company is committed to investing in our communities and providing our customers high-quality, reliable communications and expanded broadband services."
Gov. Bobby Jindal added, "I want to congratulate CenturyTel and its leadership for successfully completing a merger with EMBARQ to form CenturyLink. CenturyLink will be recognized as one of the country's leading telecommunications companies – based right here in Monroe, Louisiana."
"Now that the merger is complete, CenturyLink also will become Louisiana's third Fortune 500 company – joining Entergy and The Shaw Group.
"I especially want to thank Glen Post and his board of directors for choosing Monroe as the headquarters for the new company. This news adds to a series of recent major economic development wins for northeast Louisiana. Combined, these wins will create thousands of good-paying jobs, enhance the region's competitiveness and significantly expand its economy." |
