“PTGi took steps forward during the second quarter 2011 with several key accomplishments,” said Peter D. Aquino, chairman, president and chief executive officer, in a statement. “With the transformation of our balance sheet, we can progress in executing our strategy to continue to improve operations, generate additional free cash flow given interest savings achieved and unlock the value in the sum of the parts.”
