Shenandoah Telecommunications waived certain standstill provisions in its October 2023 Investment Agreement with ECP Fiber Holdings, an affiliate of Energy Capital Partners. The limited waiver allows ECP to acquire up to 2,250,000 additional Shentel common shares, and it expires May 21, 2026. Because ECP could increase its stake above the previous 7.5% ownership limit, the change may matter to shareholders, though the filing does not say whether ECP plans to buy.
