CoBank suit wins TRO blocking Cable One Mega Broadband buyout

By Public Technologies
  • A US federal judge in Manhattan issued a temporary restraining order on Oct. 9, 2026 blocking its planned Mega Broadband acquisition.
  • CoBank sued, alleging paying the purchase price for the remaining 55% stake would be a constructive fraudulent transfer.
  • CoBank is seeking an injunction to stop closing; the order was entered before any hearing involving Cable One.
  • The deal agreement allows the company to delay closing while any legal restraint remains in effect.
  • Proposed refinancing of $2.45 billion of obligations is also contingent on resolving the restraining order.
