This is the third cable purchase for Mega Broadband -- in October 2018 it bought Northland Communications and in August completed a deal for the broadband assets of Eagle Communications.

Kirkland & Ellis LLP provided legal counsel, PricewaterhouseCoopers served as accounting advisor, and Lazard Middle Market LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to GTCR and MBI.
