SUMMARY

By joint petition filed June 5, 2012, pursuant to Sections 100 and 101 of the

Public Service Law, Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. (“Fusion”), NBS

Acquisition Corporation and Network Billing Systems, LLC (Petitioners) request

approval for the transfer of control of Network Billing Systems, LLC (“NBS”) and for

Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc.

To facilitate the transfer, NBS Acquisition Corporation, (“Newco”), will be

established as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Fusion and will acquire all of the

outstanding equity interests in NBS. As a result, NBS will become a wholly-owned

direct subsidiary of Newco and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Fusion as

illustrated in the Post-Transaction Organizational Chart.1 In addition, pursuant to Section

101 of the Public Service Law the Petitioners request Commission approval to participate

in certain financing arrangements related to the transfer of control transaction. While the

proposed transaction will result in a change in NBS ownership, no transfer of

authorizations, assets or customers will occur as a result of the proposed transaction.

Commission approval of the petition is recommended.
