Effective December 31, 2011, the Frontier Communications Corporate Services Inc. Savings and Security Plan for West Region Hourly Employees and the Frontier Communications Corporate Services Inc. Management 401(k) Plan (collectively, the “Merged Plans”) were merged into the Frontier Communications 401(k) Savings Plan (formerly Citizens 401(k) Savings Plan) (the “Frontier Plan”).  As a result, the Merged Plans ceased to exist and the interests in the Merged Plans, which previously constituted securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no longer exist.  Pursuant to Rule 15d-6, the Frontier Plan has filed this Form 15 as successor in interest to the Merged Plans to reflect the suspension of the Merged Plans’ duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
 
 

 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Frontier Communications 401(k) Savings Plan, as successor to each of the Frontier Communications Corporate Services Inc. Savings and Security Plan for West Region Hourly Employees and the Frontier Communications Corporate Services Inc. Management 401(k) Plan, has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
