WASHINGTON, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Grain Management ("Grain"), a leading global investment firm specializing in digital infrastructure, today announced the successful completion of the sale of Hunter Communications ("Hunter"), Oregon's largest privately owned fiber-optic internet provider, to Oak Hill Capital. The transaction, which was originally announced in December 2025, closed in March 2026, reflecting Grain's disciplined approach to value creation and realization across its digital infrastructure investments.
