REUTERS/Amira Karaoud/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Wildcat Capital Management, a top shareholder in Consolidated Communications Holdings (CNSL.O), said on Friday it plans to vote against its $3.1 billion takeover by an investor consortium, as it undervalues the broadband services provider. In October, Consolidated Communications agreed to be bought by an investor group comprising Searchlight Capital Partners And British Columbia Investment Management Corp, months after the group had first submitted an offer to buy the company. Reuters reported in July that Wildcat asked Consolidated Communications to reject the offer. Consolidated Communications did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Wildcat argued that mature fiber and cable operators have historically been valued at 10 to 15 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by acquirers, whereas Consolidated Communications' take-private deal valued the company at about six times of cash flow.

Wildcat said it owned 3 million Consolidated Communications shares, equivalent to about a 2.6% stake. The offer was made on April 12 by a consortium led by private equity firm Searchlight Capital, which owns 34% of Consolidated Communications. Consolidated Communications formed a special committee to consider the offer later that month but has not provided an update since. TD Cowen analysts wrote in an April 13 note that they expected Consolidated Communications to accept the deal given its capital needs and operational challenges. But Wildcat argues that any deal should not be for less than $14 per share because the value of Consolidated Communications' investment in its business has yet to be realized.
