Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure. On June 6, 2024, Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (the " Company ") announced that two of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cogent Communications Group, LLC (f/k/a Cogent Communications Group, Inc.) (" Cogent Group ") and Cogent Finance, Inc. (the " Co-Issuer " and, together with Cogent Group, the " Issuers "), have priced an offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior notes due 2027 (the " Notes ") for issuance in a private placement not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Securities Act ").

In addition, the Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company; however, the Company will not be subject to the covenants under the indenture governing the Notes. The Notes will have the same maturity date and call protection, bear interest at the same rate and otherwise have substantially the same terms as the Issuers' existing 7.00% senior notes due 2027 (the " Existing Unsecured Notes "); however, the Notes will not be fungible (from a trading or tax perspective) with the Existing Unsecured Notes and will be a separate series of notes from the Existing Unsecured Notes. The offering is expected to close on June 11, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. Cogent Group intends to use approximately $110 million of the net proceeds from the offering to exercise a c
