Additional information concerning rCS's legal, technical, managerial and financial

DESIGNATED CONTACTS
Questions, correspondence or other communications concerning this Petition should be

directed to:

4

The Commission approved the indirect transfer of control of Secnrus to SCRS and PECP IV in Case No.
l 7-C-0254.

5

The Petition in Case l 7-C-0254 noted that the investment in Securus's ultimate parent would be made
by PECP IV together with certain private investment vehicles sponsored by Platinum Equity, noting that
PECP IV would be the majority owner of SCRS Parent and hold up to approximately 93% of the equity.
The current ownership structure has PECP IV with 68.32% equity and 93% voting interest; Platinum
Equity SCRS Co-Investors, LLC with 20.41% equity and 0% voting interest; management with 6.13%
equity and 0% voting interest; and Platinum SCRS Principals, LLC with 5.14% equity and 7% voting
interest. Platinum Equity SCRS Co-Investors, LLC is simply a passive aggregator of individual investors,
none of which or whom own 10% or more of the equity of ICS or Securus, and none of which or whom
have any voting rights.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION
Pursuant to that certain Unit Purchase Agreement by and among

res,

TKC, Keefe and

Securus, dated as of April 22, 2018 (the "Agreement"), Securns will acquire all the issued and
outstanding membership interests of res from Keefe (the "Transaction"). As a result,

res

will

become a wholly owned, direct subsidiary of Securus and, in turn, an indirect subsidiary of
SCRS and SCRS Parent. PECP IV will be the ultimate majority owner of ICS. Petitioners

4

intend to consummate the Transaction as promptly as possible after the necessary federal and
state regulatory approvals have been received.
For the Commission's reference, a chart depicting the pre- and post-Transaction
ownership structure ofICS is provided as Exhibit A.

IV.

PUBLIC INTEREST CONSIDERATIONS
Petitioners respectfully submit that the proposed Transaction is in the public interest.
The consummation of the Transaction will not result in an interruption, reduction, loss,

impairment or disruption ofICS-provided services. The Transaction does not involve a transfer
of operating authority, assets or customers in New York or elsewhere. As such, no customer
notice is required as a result of the Transaction.
While the ownership of ICS will change, the management team will remain substantially
the same and ICS's corporate identity, name and operations will remain in place. In other words,
post-closing, ICS will remain operational as a separate business. Following the Transaction, ICS
will continue to honor its correctional facility customer contracts and in doing so, will continue
to provide and support the JCS technologies and services enjoyed by its customers. Any future
changes in the rates, terms and conditions of service to ICS's correctional facility and end-user
customers will be undertaken in conformance with the applicable federal and state law, including
notice and tariff requirements and ICS's contractual obligations.
As a result, the change in ownership will be entirely transparent to ICS's correctional
facility customers and the end-users of ICS's services.

However, there will be additional

services accessible to such customers as a result of the Transaction.
After closing, and where permitted by the goverrunental entities operating the
correctional facilities served by ICS, inmates who use the ICS services now will have access to
use of inmate tablets that provide controlled internet access, including, as part of that program,
5

access to education (e.g., the ability to obtain a GED), media content and job opportunities upon
release (e.g., through Securus's JobView program). 6 Inmate calling can also be permitted from
such tablets, further facilitating the ability of inmates to connect with their friends and family.
Further, ICS correctional facility customers will gain access to Securus-developed
advanced technology, including an expanded set of law enforcement-related services and
investigative technologies offered by Securus.
According to Securus's information, there are a number of other competing providers of
inmate calling services authorized to operate in New York aside from Securus and ICS,
including Global Tel*Link Corporation, Pay Tel Communications, Inc., Legacy Long Distance,
International, Inc. d/b/a Legacy Inn1ate Communications, and Network Communications
International Corp d/b/a NCIC Inmate Communications. Thus, approval of the Petition will not
foreclose the opportunity for continued competitive bidding to provide inmate calling services to
facilities in the various states in which the two companies currently operate.
The Transaction will have no material effect on the operations of ICS, which will remain
the licensee, and will be virtually seamless to customers. Again, rates, terms, and conditions of
service, which are governed in part by contractual relationships between ICS and governmental
agencies (as well as tariffs where required), will not change while such contracts remain in force.

V.

SUBMISSION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Commission has adopted a policy of dispensing with the submission of detailed

financial information regarding transactions by non-dominant carriers such as Securus and ICS:

"The Commission has previously determined that regulations intended to apply to
monopoly utilities may be relaxed when a company operates in a competitive
environment. Therefore, we shall grant petitioners' request to waive Parts 37 and 39 of
the Commission's Rules. The financial and other information called for in Parts 37 and
39 are of little value in the competitive sector where the financial status of the players is
of little, if any, interest to the Commission in discharging its regulatory responsibilities."
See Case 92-C-1218, Petition ofTeleport Communications Group, et. al. for Authority to

Issue and Acquire Shares, and to Issue Evidence of Indebtedness, "Order Approving Petition,"
issued and effective April 13, 1993. See also Case 90-C-0166, Petition of Alltel Corporation for

a Declaratory Ruling that the Commission Lacks Jurisdiction Over the Proposed Change of its
State of Incorporation or, in the Alternative for Approval of the Proposed Transaction,
"Declaratory Ruing," issued and effective April 23, 1990.
Accordingly, the Petitioners respectfully request that the Commission act upon and
approve this Petition in accordance with the information contained herein.

VI.

CONCLUSION
For all of the foregoing reasons, Petitioners submit that the public interest, convenience

and necessity would be furthered by grant of this Petition permitting the Transaction described
above.

Announcement: Moody's says Securus' ratings unchanged following add-on to
term loan
07 May 2018
New York, May 07, 2018 -- Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) said Securus Technologies Holdings, Inc.'s
(Securus) B3 corporate family rating (CFR) is unchanged following its anticipated $350 million add-on to its first
lien term loan. Proceeds from the debt issuance will be mainly used to fund the acquisition of Inmate Calling
Solutions (ICS), a smaller provider of phone and other telecommunication services to correctional facilities.
The transaction is strategically positive for Securus as it removes a marginal competitor and improves the
company's market share position. While Securus' credit metrics will temporarily weaken as a result of the
incremental debt burden, the combination of the complementary businesses will result in significant synergies.
Realization of these synergies is expected to be mainly achieved within the first 12 months following deal
close, which helps mitigate the short term increase in credit risk. All other ratings including the company's
stable outlook are also unchanged.
ICS has grown significantly over the past three years by winning new contracts, occasionally from Securus as
well other competitors. While a costly purchase, the acquisition eliminates an aggressive competitor in the
smaller facility space comprised of local and county jails. Moody's believes this is a prudent defensive tactic
which fortifies Securus' recent market share gains and helps preserve the company's solid growth trajectory.
ICS will mainly benefit the company through the sizable headcount, call center, and corporate allocation
synergies expected to be achieved over a period of 18 months.
Securus' B3 CFR reflects its small scale, niche industry focus, aggressive financial policy, and strong
competitive pressures in a largely duopolistic and mature end market. The ratings are supported by the
company's high growth rate and a stable base of contracted and fairly predictable revenue. Providing
communications services to corrections facilities remains a low margin business characterized by competitive
bidding on contracts, the majority of which include a legacy industry practice requiring relatively high
commission fees to be included in inmate phone charges, which are later passed through to state and county
prison operators. In addition, Securus and the industry apply transaction-based fees on the phone account
deposits of inmates. While the company responded to FCC interstate rate caps established in 2013 by
negotiating the bulk of its contracted commission expense structures with prison operators down to lower
levels, the need to be proactive in this manner is eliminated by the June 2017 DC Circuit Court ruling.
Moody's could upgrade the ratings if Securus maintains very good liquidity, continues to generate strong
positive free cash flow, and grows EBITDA or reduces debt such that leverage (Moody's adjusted) is sustained
below 5x. Moody's could downgrade Securus' ratings if leverage exceeds 6.5x (Moody's adjusted) or free cash
flow turns negative.
Based in Dallas, TX, Securus Technologies Holdings, Inc. is one of the largest providers of inmate
telecommunication services to correctional facilities, with a presence in 50 states, Washington DC, and
Canada. Securus is owned and controlled by the private equity firm Platinum Equity, LLC, which acquired the
company from ABRY Partners in November 2017. Founded in 2002, ICS provides mainly phone and some
ancillary telecommunications products and services to the corrections industry. It is operated as a standalone
entity within TKC Holdings, a provider of food and personal care products to the corrections industry.
This publication does not announce a credit rating action. For any credit ratings referenced in this publication,
please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on www.moodys.com for the most updated credit rating
action information and rating history.
