Global Cloud Xchange ("GCX" or the "Company") today announced that its non-regulated businesses, representing a vast majority of the global network and operations, have successfully emerged from the Chapter 11 process. The regulated businesses are expected to emerge from bankruptcy later this year following receipt of regulatory approval.

Following this emergence, the Company will have achieved the objectives initially outlined for the financial restructuring process. GCX will have a stronger capital structure with reduced debt, and access to new working capital that can support its long-term growth. The Company will also be moving forward under new ownership of its senior secured noteholders with the commitment and capital to support GCX and its investment in the future.

Additionally, new Boards of Directors have been appointed for the newly incorporated holding company and principle operating company upon emergence. The Board is chaired by Jim Ousley and includes Anja Blumert, Alan Carr and Chris Mallon.

Mr. Carr previously served as a managing director at Strategic Value Partners and a corporate restructuring attorney with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meager & Flom.

Customers, suppliers and employees should expect to continue to work with all GCX entities as normal while the regulated businesses complete their emergence process and following the full completion of the financial restructuring.

"I, along with the rest of the GCX management team, am looking forward to the completion of our financial restructuring process so we can fully focus on our strategic direction and future opportunities," said Rory Cole, Interim CEO of GCX. "We are completing this process having achieved all of the objectives we set out, well positioned to build on our strategic plan and become even more competitive in our industry. GCX is emerging as a leading provider of network services in one of the fastest growing markets in the world that is seeing significant growth in the demand for data services. We are emerging with a strong business, ready to capitalize on this growth and the exciting opportunities ahead."
