Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 7, 2022, Ting Fiber, Inc. ("Ting"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tucows, Inc. ("Tucows"), issued a press release announcing that it is expanding into the Colorado Springs market as the initial anchor tenant on a city-wide fiber network owned by Colorado Springs Utilities ("CSU"), a municipally owned utility. Ting expects that CSU will begin construction of the fiber network by the third quarter of 2022. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information disclosed under this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.




Item 8.01. Other Events.

In becoming the anchor tenant on a city-wide fiber network owned by CSU as disclosed in Item 7.01 above, Ting executed a definitive agreement with CSU for a 25-year lease (the "Lease"), dated December 17, 2021, for a fiber-to-the-home network. The Lease obligates Ting to pay a per month fee for addresses passed by the network, as they are passed and become serviceable for customers to connect to the network, and for certain fiber infrastructure, including colocation space.

Ting expects that the network under the Lease will surpass more than 200,000 addresses in Colorado Springs, CO.

In connection with the Lease Agreement, Tucows executed a Parent Guaranty, dated December 17, 2021, to fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment and performance of all of Ting's obligations under the Lease.
