Explanatory note
This Amendment No.1 (this “Schedule 13D Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 8, 2021, is being filed on behalf of Project 8 Buyer, LLC., a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), ALSK Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Project 8 Capital, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdco”), which is the sole owner of Parent and ATN International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ATN”), which is an owner of Holdco, with respect to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alaska Communications”).
Other than as set forth below, all Items in the Schedule 13D are materially unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Schedule 13D Amendment, which are not defined herein, have the meanings given to them in this Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
(a), (b) The information contained in the cover page of this Schedule 13D Amendment is incorporated herein by reference. As a result of the Voting Agreement Stockholder’s open market sales between January 5, 2021 and January 7, 2021, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the power to vote, and to be the beneficial owner of 3,513,993 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 6.5% of the Common Stock deemed outstanding under applicable SEC rules.
