The Merger (See page [—])

Primus, Merger Sub and Arbinet have entered into the merger agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement and in accordance with Delaware law, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Arbinet, with Arbinet continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Primus. Upon completion of the merger, Arbinet common stock will no longer be publicly traded.

If the merger is completed, each share of Arbinet common stock (other than shares subject to perfected appraisal rights and other than any shares of Arbinet held by Primus, Arbinet or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, in each case except for any such shares held on behalf of third parties) will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Primus common stock equal to an exchange ratio, which will be calculated as follows: (i) $28,000,000, which may be increased by the net proceeds of a sale of Arbinet’s patents and associated rights to a third party for cash, divided by (ii) the number of shares of Arbinet common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger plus shares that may become issuable as Primus common stock at or after the closing of the merger in connection with Primus’s assumption of Arbinet’s outstanding warrants, options, stock appreciation rights and other equity awards (but excluding any issuable shares that are subject to Arbinet’s stock options and stock appreciation rights as of the closing of the merger and for which the exercise price or base price, respectively, is greater than the greater of (x) $6.05 per share of Arbinet common stock and (y) the closing stock price per share of Arbinet common stock on the day prior to the closing of the merger, and, with respect to Arbinet’s stock appreciation rights, including only the net number of shares of Arbinet common stock that will be issuable as calculated using the closing price of Arbinet common stock on the day prior to the closing of the merger), divided by (iii) $9.5464.

The actual exchange ratio cannot be determined until just before closing of the merger; however, assuming (i) the $28,000,000 base price is not increased in connection with any sale of patents and (ii) there are an aggregate of 5,635,838 shares of Arbinet common stock issued and outstanding and shares of Arbinet common stock issuable subject to Arbinet warrants and equity awards that meet the requirements described in the preceding paragraph (and that no shares are subject to a perfected appraisal process), the exchange ratio, as of November 30, 2010, would be expected to be 0.5204 or approximately one share of Primus common stock for 1.92 shares of Arbinet common stock owned. The actual exchange ratio may vary significantly from the ratio determined based on the assumptions above.

The market value of the merger consideration ultimately received by Arbinet stockholders will depend on the closing price of Primus common stock on the day the merger is consummated. Because the market price of Primus common stock will fluctuate, Arbinet stockholders cannot be sure of the aggregate value of the merger consideration they will receive. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Merger — The calculation of the merger consideration is subject to adjustment for factors that may take place or will be measured at a time that is subsequent to the vote of the Arbinet stockholders, and thus Arbinet stockholders cannot be sure of the aggregate value of the merger consideration that they will receive.”

The merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference. You should read the merger agreement in its entirety because it is the legal document that governs the merger.

Potential Spin-off or Sale of Patents by Arbinet and Benefit to Arbinet’s Stockholders (See page [—])

Arbinet may, but is not required to, spin-off its patents and associated rights to its stockholders or sell such patents and associated rights to a third party for cash, referred to as an IP Sale, provided that any spin-off or IP Sale may not result in any residual liability to Arbinet or any of its subsidiaries (other than for costs, fees and expenses and tax liabilities) and all transaction costs, fees and expenses (which exclude the appraiser’s fees relating to an appraisal of the applicable patents and associated rights) and the gross tax liabilities of Arbinet

(except to the extent offset by net operating losses) attributable to any such spin-off or IP Sale may not exceed $350,000 in the aggregate. In addition, prior to the consummation of any such spin-off or IP Sale, Arbinet must first grant Primus a royalty-free, worldwide, assignable (on a non-exclusive basis) and perpetual license to all of Arbinet’s patents and their associated rights. The amount of any proceeds from an IP Sale, after deducting related transaction costs, fees and expenses and gross tax liabilities, may, at Arbinet’s discretion, be distributed to Arbinet’s stockholders prior to closing of the merger or added, dollar for dollar, to the $28,000,000 base merger consideration. There can be no assurance that Arbinet will effect any such spin-off of patents or IP Sale.

If, after the mailing date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and before the closing of the merger, Arbinet elects to proceed with the spin-off of its patents and associated rights to its stockholders, then Arbinet would create a new wholly owned subsidiary, a Delaware corporation, into which Arbinet (including, to the extent applicable, through subsidiaries that may be holding patents) would contribute its patents and associated rights and a reasonable amount of cash to maintain the patents and associated rights. Arbinet would then proceed to mail to its stockholders an information statement containing the details of the new subsidiary and the spin-off transaction, which generally would include the separation of the patents and associated rights into the new subsidiary and the distribution of the shares of the new subsidiary by Arbinet to Arbinet’s stockholders as a pro-rata dividend. Arbinet does not currently intend that a public trading market develop in the shares of the new subsidiary that would be distributed to Arbinet’s stockholders in the spin-off. Rather, the shares of the new subsidiary would bear restrictions on transfer and resale, which will be strictly enforced to ensure that no public trading market in the shares develops, unless such stock is at some point in the future registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The separation would result in the new subsidiary operating as an independent entity with the primary purpose of holding the patents and associated rights it receives from Arbinet, which would be described more fully in the information statement. It is anticipated that Arbinet would not have any ownership or other form of interest in the new subsidiary following the separation. Approval by Arbinet’s stockholders is not required as a condition to the completion of the spin-off transaction.

Treatment of Warrants, Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Other Equity Awards (See page [—])

Arbinet will have taken all actions necessary under its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to cancel, as of the effective time of the merger: (a) all outstanding stock options to purchase shares of Arbinet common stock with an exercise price that is, as of the effective time of the merger, in excess of the greater of (i) $6.05 and (ii) the closing stock price of Arbinet common stock on the NASDAQ on the last trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the merger; and (b) all outstanding stock appreciation rights with a base price that is, as of the effective time of the merger, in excess of the greater of (i) $6.05 and (ii) the closing stock price of Arbinet common stock on the NASDAQ on the last trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the merger.

At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding warrant and option to purchase shares of Arbinet common stock will be converted into a warrant or option, respectively, to acquire, on the same terms and conditions applicable to each share of Arbinet common stock, shares of Primus common stock with appropriate adjustments to be made to the number of shares and the exercise prices based on the exchange ratio and otherwise as set forth in the merger agreement. Each outstanding restricted stock award under Arbinet’s equity compensation plans will be converted into a restricted stock award relating to shares of Primus common stock, based on the exchange ratio in the merger agreement, on the same terms and conditions applicable to each share of Arbinet common stock. Similarly, each outstanding stock appreciation right, or SAR, under Arbinet’s equity compensation plans will be converted into an SAR to acquire, on the same terms and conditions applicable under such Arbinet SAR, shares of Primus common stock based on the exchange ratio in the merger agreement, on the same terms and conditions applicable to each share of Arbinet common stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, the performance targets under any outstanding performance share award of Arbinet for which the measurement date has not occurred will be deemed to have been achieved at the target performance level, and

each share of restricted stock represented by such performance share award will be deemed to have been issued, and such performance share restricted stock award will be converted into a restricted stock award relating to shares of Primus common stock, based on the exchange ratio in the merger agreement. Each converted performance share restricted stock award will be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the award immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each performance share award for which the measurement date has occurred and for which Arbinet has not issued the performance share restricted stock awards will be converted into a performance share award relating to the number of shares of Primus common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Arbinet common stock relating to such performance share award immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by (y) the exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each such converted performance share award will be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as were applicable under such performance share award immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

The full text of the written opinion of Bank Street, dated November 10, 2010, which sets forth assumptions made, matters considered, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Bank Street opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of Arbinet’s common stock should vote with respect to the merger, adoption of the merger agreement or any other matter. The summary of the opinion of Bank Street set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.

Opinion of Primus’s Financial Advisor (See page [—])

On November 10, 2010, Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., or Houlihan Lokey, rendered its oral opinion to Primus’s board of directors (which opinion was confirmed in writing by delivery of Houlihan Lokey’s written opinion dated November 10, 2010), as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Primus, as of November 10, 2010, of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement, based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Houlihan Lokey in preparing its opinion.

Houlihan Lokey’s opinion was directed to Primus’s board of directors and only addressed the fairness from a financial point of view to Primus, as of November 10, 2010, of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement and did not address any other aspect or implication of the merger. The summary of Houlihan Lokey’s opinion in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its written opinion, which is included as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Houlihan Lokey in preparing its opinion. However, neither Houlihan Lokey’s opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, a recommendation to Primus’s board of directors or any stockholder as to how to act or vote with respect to the merger or related matters. See “The Merger — Opinion of Primus’s Financial Advisor.”

Primus’s board of directors unanimously recommends that Primus stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Primus common stock pursuant to the merger agreement, “FOR” the proposal to approve the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation Plan, as Amended, and “FOR” the adjournment of the Primus special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit the solicitation of additional proxies.

Votes Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast by Primus stockholders at the Primus special meeting is required to approve the issuance of shares of Primus common stock pursuant to the merger agreement and to approve the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation Plan, as Amended. Any adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies requires the affirmative vote of the holders of Primus common stock representing a majority of the total votes cast in person or by proxy at the Primus special meeting, although less than a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes, as defined under “— Voting of Proxies” below, will be considered in determining the presence of a quorum. However, because broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote with respect to each of the proposals to approve the issuance of shares of Primus common stock pursuant to the merger agreement, the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation Plan, as Amended, and the adjournment of the Primus special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit the solicitation of additional proxies.

Voting of Proxies

Any stockholder of record entitled to vote at the Primus special meeting may authorize a proxy by telephone, the Internet or by returning the enclosed proxy card by mail, or may vote in person by appearing at the Primus special meeting. If your shares of Primus common stock are held in “street name” by your bank, broker, custodian or other nominee, you should instruct your bank, broker, custodian or other nominee on how to vote your shares of Primus common stock using the instructions provided by your bank, broker, custodian or other nominee. If your bank, broker, custodian or other nominee cannot vote your shares on a particular matter because it has not received instructions from you and does not have discretionary voting authority on that matter or because your broker chooses not to vote on a matter for which it does have discretionary voting authority, this is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Brokers do not have discretionary voting authority to vote on the proposals to issue shares of Primus common stock pursuant to the merger agreement, to approve the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation Plan, as Amended, or to adjourn the special meeting. The effect of a broker non-vote is described above under “— Votes Required.”

Support and Voting Agreements (See page [—])

Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, a significant stockholder of both Arbinet and Primus has entered into a Stockholder Support and Voting Agreement with each of Primus and Arbinet, respectively (referred to as a Voting Agreement). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement with Primus, the stockholder has agreed, in its capacity as a stockholder of Arbinet, among other things, to vote its shares of Arbinet common stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement with Arbinet, the stockholder has agreed, in its capacity as a stockholder of Primus, among other things, to vote its shares of Primus common stock in favor of the issuance of shares of Primus common stock pursuant to the merger agreement. The shares subject to the Voting Agreement with Arbinet represent an aggregate of approximately 9.6% of the Primus common stock outstanding as of November 30, 2010, and the shares subject to the Voting Agreement with Primus represent an aggregate of approximately 23.2% of the Arbinet common stock outstanding as of November 30, 2010.

Common Stock Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers (See page [—])

Primus. At the close of business on the record date for the Primus special meeting, the directors and executive officers of Primus and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote [—] shares of Primus common stock, representing [—]% in the aggregate of the shares of Primus common stock entitled to vote at the Primus special meeting. It is expected that Primus’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares “FOR” the issuance of Primus common stock pursuant to the merger agreement and “FOR” the approval of the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation Plan, as Amended, although none of them has entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

Arbinet. At the close of business of the record date for the Arbinet special meeting, the directors and executive officers of Arbinet and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote [—] shares of Arbinet common stock, representing [—]% in the aggregate of the shares of Arbinet common stock entitled to vote at the Arbinet special meeting. In the aggregate, these shares represent approximately [—]% of the voting power necessary to approve and adopt the merger agreement at the special meeting. It is expected that Arbinet’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares “FOR” the approval and adoption of the merger agreement, although none of them has entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

Risks Relating to the Merger (See page [—])

You should be aware of and consider carefully the risks relating to the merger described under “Risk Factors.” These risks include possible difficulties in combining two companies that have previously operated independently.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (See page [—])

Arbinet and Primus expect the merger to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If the merger is treated as a reorganization, generally no gain or loss will be recognized by the stockholders of Arbinet for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the merger (except with respect to cash received by Arbinet stockholders instead of fractional shares of Primus common stock). Although the merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization, a sale or distribution of certain patents and associated rights by Arbinet may prevent the merger from qualifying as a reorganization, in which case holders of Arbinet common stock would recognize gain or loss on the exchange of their Arbinet common stock for Primus common stock pursuant to the merger.

Please review carefully the information under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” for a description of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. The tax consequences to you will depend on your own situation. Please consult your tax advisors for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you.

Accounting Treatment (See page [—])

The merger will be accounted for as an acquisition of Arbinet by Primus using the “acquisition” method of accounting.

Appraisal Rights (See page [—])

Arbinet stockholders will, under certain circumstances, be entitled under Delaware law to exercise appraisal rights and receive payment for the fair value of their Arbinet shares if the merger is completed. However, if the Primus common stock to be issued in the merger is listed on the NASDAQ, then Arbinet stockholders will not be entitled to appraisal rights. Primus’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PMUG.” In connection with the merger, Primus is to use its reasonable best efforts to have its common stock listed for trading on the NASDAQ. Arbinet stockholders who wish to seek appraisal of their shares are in any case urged to seek the advice of counsel with respect to the availability of appraisal rights.

If appraisal rights are available, Arbinet stockholders who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must not vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement, must submit a written demand for an appraisal before the vote on the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and must continue to hold their Arbinet shares through the effective date of the merger. Arbinet stockholders must also comply with other procedures as required by Section 262 of the DGCL. If appraisal rights are available, Arbinet stockholders who validly demand appraisal of their shares in accordance with the DGCL and do not withdraw their demand or otherwise forfeit their appraisal rights will not receive the merger consideration. Instead, after completion of the proposed merger, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will determine the fair value of their shares exclusive of any value arising from the proposed merger. This appraisal amount will be paid in cash and could be more than, the same as or less than the value an Arbinet stockholder would be entitled to receive under the merger agreement.

The DGCL requirements for exercising appraisal rights are described in further detail in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and the relevant section of the DGCL regarding appraisal rights is reproduced and attached as Annex D.

Conditions to the Merger (See page [—])

The merger will be completed only if the conditions to the merger are satisfied or waived (if legally permissible), including, among others, the following:

Among other potential material adverse effects, a material adverse effect with respect to Arbinet will be deemed to have occurred if the sum of the cash and cash equivalents of Arbinet as of a defined determination date before closing of the merger, less (i) all indebtedness then outstanding and (ii) all unpaid transaction costs, fees and expenses and gross tax liabilities of Arbinet (except to the extent offset by net operating losses) attributable to an IP Sale or any spin-off of Arbinet’s patents and associated rights to its stockholders, is less than $9.5 million, which will be reduced by the actual transaction costs, fees and expenses and gross tax liabilities of Arbinet (except to the extent offset by net operating losses) attributable to such IP Sale or such spin-off that have been incurred and paid (provided that this reduction may not be greater than $350,000 in the aggregate), and which will exclude costs incurred by Arbinet in connection with the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which include the appraiser’s fees for the appraisal of Arbinet’s patents and associated rights.

In addition, the obligations of Primus to complete the merger are subject to:

Either party to the merger agreement may choose to complete the merger even though a condition has not been satisfied if the law allows Arbinet and Primus to do so; however, neither Primus nor Arbinet can give any assurance regarding when or if all of the conditions to the merger will either be satisfied or waived or that the merger will occur as intended.

Regulatory Requirements (See page [—])

It is a condition to closing the merger that the parties have obtained the authorization of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, or the FCC, for the transfer of control, resulting from the closing of the merger, of Arbinet and Arbinet Carrier Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Arbinet. Arbinet and Arbinet Carrier Services, Inc. each holds an FCC authorization to be a U.S. international common carrier pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (See page [—])

Primus and Arbinet can mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement at any time. Either Primus or Arbinet can unilaterally terminate the merger agreement in various circumstances, including the following:

In addition, Arbinet may terminate the merger agreement if prior to the approval and adoption of the merger agreement by Arbinet’s stockholders, Arbinet’s board of directors has effected a change in its recommendation and authorized Arbinet to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal. Primus may terminate the merger agreement if Arbinet’s board of directors has effected a change in its recommendation.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that May be Different from Your Interests (See page [—])

Arbinet’s directors and certain of its executive officers have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of holders of Arbinet common stock. These interests include:

The amounts described above are based on an assumed merger completion date of November 30, 2010.

For a further discussion, see “The Merger — Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that May be Different from Your Interests” beginning on page [—].

Arbinet’s board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in making its recommendation. See “The Merger — Reasons for the Merger — Arbinet” beginning on page [—].

Acquisition Proposals (See page [—])

During the period beginning on November 10, 2010 and continuing until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on December 25, 2010, or the Go-Shop Period, Arbinet may initiate, solicit and encourage any alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, including by providing access to non-public information to such third parties and participate in discussions and negotiate with third parties with respect to alternative acquisition proposals. Except with respect to third parties from whom Arbinet has received a written alternative acquisition proposal during the Go-Shop Period that Arbinet’s board of directors or a committee of the board of directors determines in good faith constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute, a superior proposal, starting at 12:00 a.m., Eastern time, on December 26, 2010, or the No-Shop Period Start Date, Arbinet and its subsidiaries will not, and Arbinet and its subsidiaries will direct their respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, agents and other representatives not to, (i) continue any discussions or negotiations with any persons that may be ongoing with respect to an acquisition proposal, (ii) directly or indirectly initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate an acquisition proposal, (iii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or disclose any non-public information to, any other party with respect to an acquisition proposal or (iv) accept an acquisition proposal. However, prior to obtaining adoption of the merger agreement by Arbinet’s stockholders, Arbinet or its board of directors may take any action described in clauses (iii) or (iv) above if Arbinet receives a written acquisition proposal from a third party and Arbinet’s board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with a special committee of the board of directors and Arbinet’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that the proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a transaction more favorable to Arbinet’s stockholders than the merger.

Prior to adoption of the merger agreement by Arbinet’s stockholders, and subject to certain conditions, Arbinet’s board of directors may effect a change in its recommendation of the merger in response to (i) a superior proposal or (ii) an intervening event if Arbinet’s board of directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with a special committee of the board of directors and Arbinet’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that a failure to withdraw its recommendation would breach its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

In general, the term “intervening event” means a material event or circumstance that was not known or reasonably foreseeable to the board of directors of Arbinet on the date of the merger agreement (or, if known, the consequences of which were not known to or reasonably foreseeable by such board of directors), which event or circumstance, or material consequences thereof, becomes known to the board of directors of Arbinet prior to the time at which Arbinet receives its stockholder approval of the merger agreement, but in no event will the receipt, existence or terms of an acquisition proposal for Arbinet constitute an intervening event.

Material Differences in the Rights of Stockholders (See page [—])

Primus and Arbinet are both Delaware corporations and, accordingly, the rights of the stockholders of each are currently, and will continue to be, governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. If the merger is completed, your rights as stockholders of Primus will be governed by the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of Primus and the bylaws of Primus. The rights of Primus stockholders contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Primus differ from the rights of Arbinet stockholders under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Arbinet, as more fully described in the section entitled “Comparison of Stockholder Rights” beginning on page [—].

Proposal to Approve the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation Plan, as Amended (See page [—])

Primus’s stockholders are being asked to approve the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation Plan, as Amended. As of November 30, 2010, 118,544 shares of Primus common stock remained available for issuance under the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation, as Amended.

The Primus board of directors believes that approval of the Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated Management Compensation Plan, as Amended, is necessary in order to (1) attract, motivate and retain employees, independent contractors and non-employee directors, (2) give equity award recipients a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial success of Primus and (3) encourage equity award recipients to devote their best efforts to the business of Primus, thereby advancing the interests of Primus and its stockholders.

SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA OF PRIMUS

The following table presents selected historical consolidated financial data of Primus. The consolidated statement of operations data for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2009 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated and subsidiaries (“Primus” or the “Successor”) for such periods. The consolidated statements of operations data for the six months ended July 1, 2009 and for the years ended 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the “Predecessor”) for such periods. The consolidated statements of operations data for the years ended 2006 and 2005 have been derived from the Predecessor’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for such periods. The financial data as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the financial data for the three months ended September 30, 2009 are derived from the Successor’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for those periods. Primus’s management believes that Primus’s interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with its audited financial statements and include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for each interim period.

As of July 1, 2009, Primus adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 852. The adoption of fresh-start accounting resulted in Primus becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements on or prior to July 1, 2009 are not comparable with the financial statements for periods after July 1, 2009. The consolidated condensed statements of operations and any references to “Successor” or “Successor Company” for the six months ended December 31, 2009, show the operations of the reorganized company from and including July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the operations of Primus prior to July 1, 2009, except for Predecessor’s July 1, 2009 statements of operations, which reflect only the effect of the plan adjustments and fresh-start accounting as of such date and do not reflect any operating results.

The information in the following table is only a summary and is not indicative of the results of future operations of Primus. You should read the following information together with Primus’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 28, 2010, and as amended and superseded in part by Primus’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on December 20, 2010, Primus’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, and the other information that Primus has filed with the SEC, and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
