Background

• On August 11, 2025, WideOpenWest, Inc. (“WOW!”) announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which investment funds affiliated with DigitalBridge Investments, LLC and Crestview Partners (“Crestview”) will acquire all outstanding shares of WOW! common stock not already owned by Crestview for $5.20 per share in cash, valuing the company at approximately $1.5 billion.
• Crestview currently owns approximately 37% of WOW!’s outstanding shares and controls a majority of the company’s board seats, raising potential conflicts of interest in the negotiation and approval of the transaction.
• The $5.20 per-share offer, while representing a premium to WOW!’s recent trading price, may still undervalue the company given its strategic position, assets, and growth potential.
