Whistleblower Seeks SEC and Shareholder Review of Cogent Communications' 2003 Acquisition of FNSI
Amzeal News/10597411
New evidence highlights missing filings, suspect governance, and a 582% dividend payout ahead of May 8 earnings call.
WASHINGTON - Amzeal -- — Whistleblower David J. Koch has released new documentation regarding Cogent Communications' 2003 acquisition of Fiber Network Solutions, Inc. (FNSI) while its President, CEO, Chairman and majority shareholder was medically incapaciated, raising red flags over missing SEC filings, governance failures, and an unsustainable dividend policy that now exceeds a 582% payout ratio.
As Cogent prepares for its Q1 earnings call on May 8, Koch is calling on investors, analysts, and regulators to scrutinize Exhibit 2.5 — a key acquisition document that was omitted in Cogent's S-1 registration filing — and its broader implications for shareholder transparency and legal accountability.
"If they try to ignore this on the earnings call, that's not caution — it's concealment," Koch said. "Exhibit 2.5 isn't redacted — it's missing. It concealed liability schedules, payment terms, and equity allocations — the foundation of a deal completed while I was medically incapacitated."
