Re: how much stock?
I'm also confused by this. If they'll own 60% then aren't they actually buying rather then selling? |

Milford, NH | Verizon shareholders get Fairpoint stock not Verizon itself. So if you own 20 shares of Verizon, you will be issued Fairpoint stock as part of the spinoff. |

VZ will not own the shares, VZ shareholders are getting the shares. |

Actually, it's 1 share of Fairpoint for every 55 Verizon shares. For some people, barely worth the commission to dump it. |

| This is not true according to Fairpoint's Website.
"Verizon's local exchange and related business assets in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont will be transferred to entities owned by a newly organized, wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon." which is from the "merger" page of Fairpoint. VZ will STill OWN the company. Just not the debit. |

Verizon's local exchange and related business assets in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont will be transferred to entities owned by a newly organized, wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon. This new subsidiary will incur $1.7 billion of newly issued debt and will then be spun off to Verizon's stockholders and immediately merged with and into FairPoint.
When the merger is completed, the companies conducting the Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont telephone and related business operations will be subsidiaries of FairPoint. The combined business will be managed by FairPoint's executive team.
