(the “Company”), completed a going-private merger transaction with Red Fiber Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and RF Merger Sub Inc., an Ohio corporation and directly wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with, and into, the Company, with the Company as (i) the surviving entity and (ii) a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 by the prescribed due date without undue hardship or expense.

On September 7, 2021, Cincinnati Bell Inc. (the “Company”), completed a going-private merger transaction with Red Fiber Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and RF Merger Sub Inc., an Ohio corporation and directly wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with, and into, the Company, with the Company as (i) the surviving entity and (ii) a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As a result of the merger, the Company’s auditors for fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were no longer considered to be independent in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In considering the appointment of new auditors, the Company identified firms it believed were qualified to serve as auditors for a company with the size and complexity of Cincinnati Bell Inc. In each case the Company identified issues that might impact the independence of the qualified firm. The Audit Committee considered these issues carefully in choosing new auditors. On January 14, 2022, the Audit Committee approved, effective immediately, the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company is unable to file its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021 on Form 10-K by the prescribed due date without undue hardship or expense due to the timing of the Company’s engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm and the complexity of the evaluation, accounting, and financial statement presentation and disclosure as a result of the merger

On September 7, 2021, Cincinnati Bell Inc. (the “Company”), completed a going-private merger transaction with Red Fiber Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and RF Merger Sub Inc., an Ohio corporation and directly wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with, and into, the Company, with the Company as (i) the surviving person and (ii) a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As a result of the merger, the Company’s auditors for fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were no longer considered to be independent for purposes of any reports filed with the Commission and the Company and its Audit Committee are in the process of replacing the existing auditors with another accounting firm meeting the Commission’s auditor independence requirements. The Company has determined that it is unable to file its quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2021 on Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date because the Company and its Audit Committee will need additional time to designate the new independent auditors and allow the new independent auditors to conduct its review procedures in connection with the financial statements to be included in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021

About this score

reportingrisk.com scores every active US filer on three things a company tells the SEC about itself: late-filing notices on Form NT, 8-K item 4.02 (past accounts declared unreliable) and 4.01 (auditor changes). 1,012 are flagged today.

Every score is frozen and checked twelve months later. Across 91,452 of them, a company scoring 4 or more ended that year delisted, bankrupt, restated or silent 17.2% of the time, against 4.0% for a clean record. Scores before 2026-09-27 were reconstructed from the filing history as it stood at each date, so the record is a backtest rather than years of live calls.
