"Acquiring the Cordia assets further advances Birch's corporate strategy to strengthen and expand our business via 'tuck-in' synergistic acquisitions," said Vincent M. Oddo, Birch president and CEO. "This is our 12th strategic acquisition during the past five years and each one has significantly increased customer density in our 38 state service footprint.  As a result of this asset acquisition, Birch will be adding up to 50 jobs in our Macon, Georgia and Emporia, Kansas Operations Centers.  The majority of these jobs were previously located outside the United States."

Throughout its 15-year history, Birch has built an unparalleled reputation for delivering great service to business and residential customers with a very strong commitment to customer satisfaction.  "We are looking forward to welcoming Cordia customers into our Birch family knowing that they will immediately benefit from our dedication to providing award-winning, superior customer care," said Christopher Aversano, Birch COO.

The transaction is expected to close in the early fourth quarter of 2011 and is subject to, among other conditions, receipt of approvals of the FCC, applicable state regulatory authorities, and other customary conditions.
