“We still believe there are synergies between the companies, but conditions aren’t right now for a merger,” a spokeswoman for both companies said.

Last month, Global Crossing deposed its fourth CEO in as many years, replacing Tom Casey with Asia Global Crossing CEO John Legere. Legere remains head of both companies, which have separate boards and management structures but are otherwise linked. Global Crossing owns a 59% stake in Asia Global Crossing.
