Uniti Group Appoints John Harrobin As President of Kinetic, Effective Following The Successful Close of Uniti's Merger With Windstream Holdings

Uniti Group Inc. ("Uniti" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:UNIT) today announced its appointment of John Harrobin as President of Kinetic, effective following the successful close of Uniti's merger with Windstream Holdings II, LLC ("Windstream"), which the Company continues to expect will be in the second half of 2025. Mr. Harrobin will have operational, go-to-market, and financial responsibilities for one of the largest remaining independent fiber-to-the-home platforms in the country.

Harrobin most recently served as Executive Vice President, Consumer, at Frontier Communications, where he led a $3 billion business unit, returning it to customer, revenue and profit growth.

"John is an exceptional leader, and we have long admired his reputation and deep expertise in our industry," said Kenny Gunderman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Uniti. "As we work to close our merger with Windstream, we see immense potential in the Kinetic platform which is an attractive asset with strong fundamentals and a long runway for growth. John's recent experience in helping successfully lead a fiber transformation is directly applicable to our opportunity at Kinetic, and we look forward to driving significant value for our customers, employees and stakeholders."

"I am honored to join the Uniti team and to lead the Kinetic business in its next phase of growth. We have a unique set of fiber assets and a talented team," said Harrobin. "My immediate focus will be on serving customers as we enhance our network, and I look forward to working with the team and building a durable operating model that consistently delivers superior results."
