On June 2, 2021, White Sands Bidco, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of White Sands Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Parent”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with and into Boingo Wireless, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 26, 2021
(the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. The Company was the surviving corporation
in the Merger and, as a result, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent is controlled by investment funds affiliated with Digital
Colony Partners II, LP (“Digital Colony Partners”) and is beneficially owned by such funds and certain other investors.

The information set forth in the Introduction to
this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Introduction”) is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common
Stock”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Common Stock,
shares held in the treasury of the Company or shares owned by Parent or Merger Sub) were cancelled and automatically converted into
the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $14.00, net of applicable withholding taxes and without interest thereon (the
“Per Share Merger Consideration”). Company stock options were cancelled
at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share
Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such
stock option (less applicable deductions and withholdings). Company restricted stock units (including any restricted stock units
which are subject to performance conditions that had not been satisfied at the Effective Time, which were deemed satisfied in
accordance with the terms of the applicable stock plans and award agreements) were cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into
the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to such restricted stock unit (less applicable deductions and withholdings).

on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist and deregister its shares of Common Stock.
The Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
requesting the deregistration of the Common Stock and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and
