Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 13, 2009 Renaissance Acquisition Corp. (“Renaissance”) and First Communications, Inc. (“First Communications”) jointly agreed to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Renaissance, FCI Merger Sub I, Inc., FCI Merger Sub II, LLC, First Communications, Inc. (“First Communications”) and The Gores Group LLC, solely in its capacity as Stockholders’ Representative, dated as of September 13, 2008, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to a letter of termination. The material terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the amendments thereto were previously disclosed in Renaissance’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on September 18, 2008, December 23, 2008 and January 6, 2009, and, to the extent required by Item 1.02 of Form 8-K, those descriptions are incorporated by reference.

Renaissance was recently informed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that it would require First Communications to provide, in Renaissance’s proxy statement, fiscal year audited financial statements for additional historical periods for entities acquired by First Communications. Both companies have determined that it would not be possible to provide these financial statements within sufficient time to close the transaction prior to January 29, 2009, the deadline for Renaissance to complete a business combination.

On January 14, 2009, Renaissance and First Communications issued a joint press release announcing termination of the Merger Agreement. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
