Marc Ganzi’s global investment firm Digital Colony purchased fiber optic network provider Zayo Group
yesterday in a transaction valued at $14.3 billion. Zayo will transition from a public company to a private
company and remain headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. The deal is subject to regulatory & shareholder
approval. Digital Colony, whose focus is next-generation mobile and internet infrastructure – towers, data
centers, small cells, and fiber, already owns Digital Bridge, Vertical Bridge, ExteNet Systems, and two data
center companies among other international holdings.

According to Jennifer Fritzsche, senior analyst, Wells Fargo Securities, “Ultimately, we believe ZAYO will
be a valuable asset within the acquirers’ portfolios and create natural synergies with their other investments.
Digital Colony, through its partner Digital Bridge, touches many of the converging parts of the
communications infrastructure ecosystem.”
