Cable One Seeks Financing and Extends Mega Broadband Deal
Cable One Inc. is negotiating new financing with GTCR and lenders while extending the deadline to acquire a remaining stake in Mega Broadband.
Cable One Inc. is in advanced discussions with GTCR LLC, existing lenders, and private lending institutions to secure financing for upcoming capital requirements. The broadband provider, which operates the Sparklight brand for approximately 1 million customers across 24 U.S. states, intends to use these transactions to strengthen its financial position. The company noted that no definitive agreements have been reached and a transaction is not guaranteed.
In a related move, Cable One and GTCR extended the deadline to October 9, 2026, for Cable One to purchase the remaining 55% stake in Mega Broadband Investments Holdings LLC.
Chief Executive Officer James Holanda stated that stakeholders and investors are collaborating on a financial solution. Stephen J. Jeschke, a Managing Director at GTCR LLC, added that the focus remains on a sustainable path forward for the business.
