About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

ClearBridge Energy Midstream Opportunity Fund Inc. Announces Completion of Mergers and Share Conversion Prices

ClearBridge Energy Midstream Opportunity Fund Inc. (NYSE: EMO) today announced the completion of the mergers of ClearBridge MLP and Midstream Fund Inc. (NYSE: CEM) and ClearBridge MLP and Midstream Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: CTR) and together with EMO, the “Funds” or each, a “Fund”) with and into EMO (the “Mergers”). Effective before markets open on Monday, September 9, 2024, CEM and CTR stockholders became EMO stockholders.

Each share of common stock of CEM and CTR, par value $0.001 per share, converted into an equivalent dollar amount (to the nearest $0.001) of full shares of common stock of EMO, based on the net asset value of each Fund on the business day preceding the Mergers. EMO will not issue fractional shares to CEM and CTR stockholders. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, EMO will pay cash to each former holder of CEM and CTR common stock in an amount equal to the net asset value of the fractional shares of EMO common stock that the investor would otherwise have received in the Mergers. The conversion price was based on each Fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share calculated at the close of business on Friday, September 6, 2024.

NAV, as of 9/6/24 market close

EMO

$46.6960

CEM

CTR

The conversion ratio was calculated at 1.112539 common shares of EMO for each CEM common share. EMO did not issue any fractional common shares to CEM stockholders. In lieu thereof, EMO purchased all fractional shares at the then current NAV and remitted the cash proceeds to former CEM stockholders in proportion to their fractional shares.

The conversion ratio was calculated at 1.006926 common shares of EMO for each CTR common share. EMO did not issue any fractional common shares to CTR stockholders. In lieu thereof, EMO purchased all fractional shares at the then current NAV and remitted the cash proceeds to former CTR stockholders in proportion to their fractional shares.

EMO’s post-Merger net assets totaled $849,413,976, and its NAV per common share was $46.6960 based on approximately 18,190,295 shares outstanding, as of the close of business on September 6, 2024.

EMO issued and delivered to each of the CEM and CTR’s Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock (“MRPS”) holders newly issued shares of EMO’s MRPS with the same aggregate liquidation preference (of $35 per share) and terms as their MRPS that were issued and outstanding immediately before the date of the Mergers. EMO also amended its MRPS that are outstanding to align the voting rights of all of EMO’s outstanding preferred stock so that each preferred stockholder will have one vote for every $35 of liquidation preference following the Mergers. No fractional MRPS will be issued to CEM and CTR holders as a result of the Mergers. EMO will round up to the next whole share instead of issuing fractional shares of MRPS.

EMO is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company managed by Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC (formerly known as Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC) (“FTFA”), and subadvised by ClearBridge Investments, LLC (“ClearBridge”).
