This amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on October 21, 2024 (the “Prior Schedule 13D”), which amended and supplemented amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on February 12, 2024, by Glendon Capital Management, LP (“GCM”), Holly Kim Olson and G2 Communication L.P. (“G2”) (collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Frontier Communications Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meanings set forth in the Prior Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 1, the Prior Schedule 13D is unchanged.

ITEM 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Prior Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business because they believed that the securities reported herein, when acquired, represented an attractive investment opportunity.

On October 14, 2024, a news article was published by Reuters stating that the Reporting Persons intend to vote against the proposed acquisition of the Issuer (the “Proposed Acquisition”) by Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”), citing sources familiar with the Reporting Persons’ plans.

On October 23, 2024, the Reporting Persons delivered a letter (the “Letter”) to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Issuer Board”) stating the reasons for the Reporting Persons’ opposition to the Proposed Acquisition by Verizon and reiterating the Reporting Persons’ intention to vote against the Proposed Acquisition. The Reporting Persons also issued a press release (the “Press Release”) on October 23, 2024 announcing the delivery of the Letter to the Issuer Board and summarizing the Reporting Persons’ opposition and intention with respect to the Proposed Acquisition expressed in the Letter.

A copy of the Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and a copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3, and each is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons do not currently have an intention to engage in any (i) control transaction with or in connection with the Issuer or (ii) solicitation of votes in connection with the Proposed Acquisition or any contested election of directors of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons have engaged and will continue to engage in discussions regarding the Proposed Acquisition with other securityholders of the Issuer, the Issuer Board and management, Verizon’s board of directors and management, and other relevant parties. The Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Issuer Board and management, and other securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore other extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction; security offerings and/or stock repurchases by the Issuer; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Issuer Board. The Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

To facilitate their consideration of such matters, the Reporting Persons may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other third parties. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons and may enter into to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements. The Reporting Persons will likely take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their consideration of various possible courses of action before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.

The exhibit list in Item 7 of the Prior Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 and the remainder of Item 7 of the Prior Schedule 13D is unchanged and the exhibits listed therein have been previously filed.

Exhibit 99.2

October 23, 2024

Frontier Communications Parent, Inc.

1919 McKinney Ave.

Dallas, TX 75201

Attention: Board of Directors

Dear Members of the Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. (“Frontier” or the “Company”) Board of Directors (the “Board”):

As you know, Glendon Capital Management LP (“Glendon”) is a longtime investor in Frontier, first as a holder of the Company’s debt through the bankruptcy process, and more recently as a nearly 10% shareholder following Frontier’s successful emergence from Chapter 11 in 2021. Our current shareholding makes us one of Frontier’s largest owners.

Frontier has established itself as a best-in-class fiber builder and operator, becoming the largest independent fiber player in only a handful of years. Glendon has been, and remains, incredibly supportive of the management team—which we helped vet and select during the bankruptcy—for successfully executing an industry-leading fiber expansion strategy and delivering a positive inflection in earnings. We have confidence Frontier’s management can continue this differentiated success, with the Company now set up for sustained growth well ahead of its peers. The opportunity to continue the fiber strategy and reach 10 million total locations remains an exciting outcome to us, and we are aligned with the vision to build “Gigabit America” given our belief in the importance of fiber as a critical U.S. infrastructure asset.

While we are not opposed to a sale, we believe the proposed acquisition of Frontier by Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) at a price of $38.50 per share (the “Verizon Transaction”) substantially undervalues the Company’s existing assets and the future upside potential that rightfully belongs to Frontier shareholders. Certainly, we recognize the strategic merits of combining with a U.S. wireless carrier as the telecommunications industry continues to converge, but we believe a sale at this price does not adequately capture Frontier’s progress and momentum.

Further, the Board’s decision to set the record date before it was announced in the proxy and then to rush a shareholder vote so soon thereafter is both perplexing and disappointing. Importantly, Frontier is expected to release its third quarter earnings in early November and management has promised an investor conference to discuss their outlook and vision. With the current voting deadline on November 13, shareholders are being deprived of this critical opportunity to understand the standalone case for the Company. We find these decisions to be disenfranchising to shareholders.

Accordingly, absent a price that appropriately reflects the value of Frontier’s assets and the Company’s earnings trajectory—and an extension of the record date and date of the special meeting of stockholders— we intend to vote our shares against the Verizon Transaction at Frontier’s upcoming special meeting of stockholders. We simply cannot support $38.50 per share as we have confidence there will be future opportunities to realize a valuation for Frontier well in excess of Verizon’s current offer.

We believe Frontier’s enterprise value (“EV”) is at least $26 billion today, 30% higher than the current $20 billion EV ascribed from the Verizon Transaction.

Based on a review of the Company’s proxy, Frontier’s Board and Strategic Review Committee relied in large part upon discounted free cash flow (“DCF”), comparable company, and precedent M&A multiple analyses from their respective financial advisors that we believe were fundamentally flawed.

Frontier is a uniquely superior fiber infrastructure asset, by far the largest pure-play fiber provider and growing earnings significantly faster than its peers while also delivering above average EBITDA margins and normalized cash flow conversion. Frontier’s differentiated success with fiber expansions, superior growth trajectory, and earnings profile render the peer comparable analysis irrelevant and therefore inadequate as a valuation methodology. Precedent fiber transactions (relevant ones) and an accurate DCF analysis are required to properly value Frontier.

The Verizon Transaction’s $20 billion EV for Frontier represents 8.5x EV/EBITDA (2025E street consensus estimate). The Company’s closest comparable public telecom peer, with respect to quality of earnings and growth projections, is T-Mobile, currently trading at ~11x EV/EBITDA (2025E). This multiple is the most appropriate when adjusting public peers for differences in growth and cash flow. Further, we believe the appropriate private market multiple range is 15-20x, currently being tested by at least one rumored sale process of a comparable fiber asset. Though again, the differences in cash flow timing and trajectory, among many other factors, render this overly simplistic approach insufficient.


See Note 1		See Note 2

Surprisingly, neither financial advisor mentions the July 2024 acquisition of Metronet by a joint venture between T-Mobile and KKR, the most recent and relevant comparable transaction. Nor do they mention the April 2024 acquisition of Lumos by T-Mobile and EQT. We believe these transactions created a clear market value for fiber assets of approximately $4,700 per location passed (range of $4,000-$5,000 based on bounds of reasonable assumptions), versus the current Verizon Transaction which implies a value for Frontier’s fiber passings at an unjustifiable discount, even when giving no value to copper assets (which generated nearly $700 million of TTM EBITDA through 6/30/24).

Metronet is a particularly relevant comparable asset, as Frontier shares similar overall fiber penetration and both networks are executing a multi-year expansion. Further, Metronet transacted most recently and best represents the current market valuation for fiber assets. Reviewing the history outlined in the proxy, we noted Verizon proactively initiated discussion with Frontier just before the Metronet deal was publicly announced. To maximize comparability and reduce the assumptions needed, we choose to look at EV today relative to fiber passings today, understanding that both Metronet and Frontier have plans to build additional fiber in the future.

When considering the value per fiber passing established by the Metronet and Lumos deals, and assigning zero value to copper assets, a minimum enterprise value for Frontier of $26 billion ($61 per share) is easily supported.

See Note 3

Frontier’s recent activity in the ABS market saw the Company raise debt at roughly $3,400 per passing, before adding in any equity layer. Assuming even a razor thin 5.5% equity cushion for the ABS transaction implies a value for fiber of $3,600 per passing, and when applied to Frontier’s 7.2 million fiber passings, as of June 2024, yields a valuation of $26 billion.

The DCF analysis in the Company’s proxy is equally amiss. With management’s proxy Standalone Case forecasting a 12.6% CAGR in adjusted unlevered free cash flow (“uFCF”) in the years leading up to terminal, the 1.25% terminal growth rate assumed by the advisors (average over the ranges) is much too low. Frontier’s growth is driven by gradually increasing fiber penetration, thus a near complete evaporation of the growth rate at the terminal year is nonsensical. Moreover, the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) assumed by the advisors does not capture any value created when considering Verizon’s significantly lower cost of capital.

Any choice of WACC and terminal growth rate can be translated to an implied EV/EBITDA multiple. Looking at the assumptions used by the financial advisors presented in the proxy, on average across their respective ranges, results in an implied terminal multiple of only 6.7x. This multiple, in the context of Frontier’s cash flow growing at 12.6% (5y CAGR) leading up to the terminal year, is entirely inconsistent with the observable universe of public comparable companies. There is an intellectual disconnect between Frontier’s growth and the valuation metrics used in the proxy DCF analysis.

See Note 4

Simply, we disagree with the financial advisors’ terminal growth rate assumptions when considering the trend presented in the Standalone Case. The proxy DCF uses a range of 0.75% - 1.75% for terminal growth. In the most basic approach, we believe a realistic growth rate to be 2.5% - 3.5%, resulting in an EV for Frontier of $24 - $28 billion ($53 - $68 per share).

For a more nuanced approach, we adopt a WACC consistent with the financial advisors’ range and then replace the growth rate collapse in the proxy DCF with a gradual decline over time, three years as a reasonable case.

A modest terminal growth rate range of 2.0% - 2.5%, after a three year phase in period, and WACC of 8% in the DCF analysis yields an EV of $24 - $26 billion ($53 - $61 per share).

Lastly, the $38.50 per share price gives no consideration to the opportunity available to Verizon from operating synergies and the ability to pursue the Unconstrained Capital Case, as described in the proxy. If Frontier continues to execute as expected, with fiber passings nearing management’s target and free cash flow inflecting to positive, acquiring Frontier at an enterprise value of $26 billion would still be a bargain when factoring in even a portion of these opportunities.

Frontier’s strategic review process and decision to sell was ill-timed and commenced before the Company had reported key results from its fiber network upgrade and before the strategic value of fiber in the emerging world of wireless convergence had further crystalized. The timing of the record date and special meeting for the Verizon Transaction only serve to exacerbate our concerns, as they deprive shareholders of necessary information and time to properly evaluate their options.

At the current price, Verizon would be walking away with a steal. This simply cannot be allowed without objection. Our analysis of the most recent and relevant comparable transactions as well as expected future cash flows both prove the inadequacy of a $20 billion enterprise valuation for Frontier.

We urge the Board to go back to the negotiation table to obtain an increased offer from Verizon in accordance with the value of Frontier’s assets and the Company’s exciting growth prospects. Until then, Glendon will be voting against the Verizon Transaction.

Sincerely,

/s/ Holly Kim Olson

LOS ANGELES, October 23, 2024 – Glendon Capital Management LP (“Glendon”), a private investment firm which is one of the largest shareholders of Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. ("Frontier" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FYBR), owning nearly 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, today sent a letter to Frontier’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) regarding Glendon’s decision to vote against the proposed acquisition of Frontier by Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) at a price of $38.50 per share (the “Verizon Transaction”).

In the letter, Glendon expressed its belief that Frontier’s enterprise value is at least $26 billion today, 30% higher than the current $20 billion enterprise value ascribed from the Verizon Transaction, based on an analysis of the most recent and relevant comparable transactions as well as Frontier’s expected future cash flows.

Additionally, Glendon expressed its disappointment with the Board’s illogical and rushed setting of the record date and special meeting of stockholders, and urged an extension of both dates to enable shareholders to fully understand the standalone case for Frontier.
