PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE 2014 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 17, 2014

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for use at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 17, 2014, at 10:00 am ET, or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

We are mailing this proxy statement together with our Annual Report to Stockholders, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (excluding exhibits) and a proxy card or voting instruction for the Annual Meeting to our stockholders on or about April 25, 2014.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 17, 2014: This Proxy Statement, our 2013 Annual Report to Stockholders and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available at http://ir.atni.com/financials.cfm.

Who Can Vote

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 21, 2014 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 15,908,065 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, were outstanding, each share entitled to one vote. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares. As a beneficial owner, you may direct your broker or other holder of record on how to vote your owned shares by following their instructions.

Voting

You may vote your shares held of record either by attending the meeting and voting in person or by proxy. To vote in person, you must attend the Annual Meeting and cast your vote. You do not need to register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting. If you choose to vote by proxy, you must complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. No postage is necessary if the proxy card is mailed in the United States. If you vote by mail and your proxy card is received in time for voting and not revoked, your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions as set forth on your signed proxy card. If no instructions are indicated, the shares represented by the proxy card will be voted by the proxy holders as follows:

1

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=4,EFW="2219763",CP="ATLANTIC TELE-NETWORK, INC.",DN="1",CHK=293652,FOLIO='1',FILE='DISK104:[14ZAE1.14ZAE47701]DA47701A.;15',USER='CHE106204',CD='21-APR-2014;16:21'

Table of Contents

If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, they will give you separate instructions for voting your shares and you must make arrangements with your broker, bank or other nominee in advance of the Annual Meeting to vote your shares in person.

Quorum

The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, whether present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders present may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time, without notice, other than by announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting. Abstentions, votes withheld and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

Votes Required

Proposal 1 , the election of each director nominee, requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares voted at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

Proposal 2, the approval, by advisory vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

Proposal 3 , the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditor for 2014, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

We will not count shares that abstain from voting ("abstentions") on a particular matter as votes in favor of such matter. Similarly, we will not count broker non-votes as votes in favor of such matter. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker cannot vote a customer's shares registered in the broker's name because the customer did not send the broker instructions on how to vote on the matter and the broker is prohibited by law or stock exchange regulations from exercising its discretionary voting authority in the particular matter. Accordingly, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of voting on Proposals 1 and 2. However, abstentions will be considered to be votes present and entitled to vote on Proposals 2 and 3, and they will have the effect of a vote against those proposals. Brokers will be entitled to vote a customer's shares in their discretion on Proposal 3, so there will be no broker non-votes on that proposal. Inspectors of election appointed by our Board will tabulate votes.

Revocability of Proxies

A proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by delivering a written revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 600 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915. A proxy may also be revoked by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must make arrangements with your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke your proxy.

Solicitation Expenses

We will bear all costs of solicitation of proxies. In addition to solicitations by mail, our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail, facsimile and personal interviews. We will request brokers, banks, and other holders of record to forward proxy soliciting material to beneficial owners. We will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of the proxy materials. In addition,

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Our Board is providing stockholders with the opportunity to approve, by advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. This proposal, also commonly referred to as a "Say on Pay" vote, provides our stockholders the opportunity to advise our Board on their approval or non-approval of our executive compensation policies and programs and the compensation actually paid to our named executive officers.

Please review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 18 and the accompanying tabular and other disclosures on executive compensation beginning on page 23, and cast a vote either to endorse or not endorse our executive compensation program. A vote "For" this proposal is an advisory vote approving the compensation of our named executive officers, including our compensation practices and principles and their implementation, as discussed and disclosed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's compensation disclosure rules in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and any narrative executive compensation disclosure contained in this proxy statement.

Our Compensation Committee and Board believe our executive compensation programs use appropriate structures and policies that are effective in achieving our Company goals and objectives. Accordingly, the Board recommends that you vote in favor of the following resolution:

The Say on Pay vote is advisory in nature, and therefore, is not binding on our Compensation Committee or Board. Although the vote is non-binding, our Compensation Committee will review the voting results, seek to determine the cause or causes of any significant negative voting, and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation programs.

Vote Required

The approval, on an advisory and non-binding basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

Recommendation of our Board of Directors

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

In making its selection, the Audit Committee conducted a review of PwC's performance, including consideration of the following:

PwC was our independent auditor for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders ratify the selection of PwC as our independent auditor.

The ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent auditor for 2014 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

The role of the Board of Directors is to ensure that we are managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. The Board periodically reviews and advises management with respect to our annual operating plans and strategic initiatives. The Board has adopted corporate governance principles to assure full and complete compliance with all applicable corporate governance standards.

During the past year, we have reviewed our corporate governance practices in comparison to the practices of other public companies and to ensure they comport with guidance and interpretations provided by the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

We have adopted a written Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees and agents, including, but not limited to, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Ethics, Nominating Committee Charter, Compensation Committee Charter and Audit Committee Charter are available on our website at ir.atni.com and may be obtained free of charge upon request by writing to us at Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 600 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors is committed to maintaining responsible and effective corporate governance and is focused on the interests of our stockholders. The Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, as the Board believes it is in our best interests to make this determination based on an assessment of the current condition of our Company and composition of the Board. It has determined that its leadership structure, including Mr. Cornelius B. Prior, Jr. serving as Chairman, our Chief Executive Officer serving as a director, and the composition of independent directors for each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees of the Board, best serves the Company and its stockholders at this time. Our Board brings strong leadership and industry expertise to inform the management and direction of the Company on behalf of our stockholders. Mr. C.B. Prior, Jr., who has served as our Chairman since 1997, was also our Chief Executive Officer until December 2005. He, together with related entities, affiliates and family members, controls approximately 40% of our outstanding common stock, possesses extensive investment and financial management experience and has a long history and familiarity with the Company and many of its Caribbean operating markets. Management and the Board of Directors work together to try to focus the Board on major questions of governance, succession and setting the Company's overall operating and investment strategy.

Director Nomination Process

Our Nominating Committee considers director nominees, whether proposed by a stockholder or identified through the Company's processes, in accordance with its charter and our Nominating Guidelines and Procedures. The Nominating Committee does not rely on a fixed set of qualifications for director nominees but applies general criteria intended to ensure that the Board includes members with significant breadth of experience, knowledge and abilities as well as financial and industry expertise to assist the Board in performing its duties. Minimum qualifications for director nominees include: a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards; demonstrated business acumen, experience and judgment related to the objectives of the Company; and the commitment to understand the Company and its industry and actively participate in Board deliberations. While our Board does not have a formal diversity policy, it recognizes that a diversity of viewpoints and practical experiences can enhance the effectiveness of the Board. Accordingly, our Nominating Committee also considers nominees based on their differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other characteristics that are relevant to the current needs of the

Company, including those that promote diversity. Our Nominating Committee then recommends director nominees to the Board for its consideration and nomination at the next annual meeting of stockholders.

In selecting director nominees pursuant to the Nominating Guidelines and Procedures, our Nominating Committee considers candidates submitted by stockholders and evaluates such candidates in the same manner and using the same criteria as all other director nominee candidates. To submit a director nominee candidate, stockholders should submit the following information: (a) the candidate's name, age and address, (b) a brief statement of the reasons the candidate would be an effective director, (c) the candidate's principal occupation or employment for the past five years and information about any positions on the board of directors of other companies, (d) any business or other significant relationship the candidate has had with us and (e) the name and address of the stockholder making the submission. Our Nominating Committee may also seek additional information regarding the director nominee candidate and the stockholder making the submission. All submissions of director nominee candidates made by stockholders should be sent to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc., Attn: Nominating Committee, 600 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915 and must comply with applicable timing requirements.

Determination of Independence

Nasdaq rules require that a majority of our directors be "independent" and that we maintain a minimum three-person audit committee and a two-person compensation committee whose members satisfy heightened independence requirements. A director qualifies as "independent" if our Board upon the recommendation of our Nominating Committee, affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship with us, an affiliate of ours, or otherwise which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in discharging his or her duties as a director. Nasdaq rules preclude an affirmative determination by the Board that a director is independent if:

Table of Contents

Based on the Nasdaq rules, our Nominating Committee and the Board has determined that Messrs. Budd, Flynn and Roesslein and Ms. Pelletier are independent for purposes of SEC rules and Nasdaq listing compliance. This determination included reviewing the following relationships and transactions with Mr. Budd, which our Nominating Committee and the Board concluded did not affect his independence:

Nominating Committee Report

The Nominating Committee has reviewed and discussed the Director Nomination Process and Director Independence disclosure and, based on such review and discussions, we recommended to the Board that (i) these disclosures be included in this Proxy Statement and (ii) that each of the persons listed in Proposal 1, "Election of Directors," be nominated by the Board for election as a director of the Company.

By the Nominating Committee

Liane J. Pelletier, Chair Martin L. Budd Charles J. Roesslein

Risk Management and Risk Assessment

In accordance with Nasdaq requirements, our Audit Committee has the primary responsibility for the oversight of risk management and risk assessment, including the Company's major financial risk exposures and the steps management has undertaken to control such risks. Our Board of Directors remains actively involved in such oversight of risk management and assessment and receives periodic presentations from our executive officers and certain of their direct reports, as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate. This includes discussions of the Company's balance sheet and capital structure in light of potential capital needs and projections of operating cash flows and the risks to such cash flows. While the Board of Directors maintains such oversight responsibility, management is responsible for the day-to-day risk management processes and makes detailed recommendations on sources and uses of capital. The Board of Directors believes this division of responsibility is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company. As a general matter, management and the Board of Directors seek to mitigate major risks to the Company's financial condition by striving to maintain a level of debt to annual operating cash flows that allows the Company to survive short-term unforeseen reductions in cash flow or unanticipated large capital spending needs. To date, the Board of Directors believes that the Company has maintained a more conservative level of debt (relative to cash flows) than most of its peers in the telecommunications industry.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, our management, in consultation with the Board, reviewed the Company's compensation policies and practices for employees generally as they relate to risk management. As part of this process, management reviewed the Company's cash and equity incentive compensation plans and practices applicable to all employees to determine whether such programs create incentives that might motivate inappropriate or excessive risk-taking. In the course of such review, the following mitigating features of the Company's incentive compensation programs were considered: (1) the Company's focus on multiple year vesting periods for all equity compensation, including the restricted stock awards made for 2013 achievements; (2) management's practice of conservative awards of annual cash bonus payments; (3) the relatively low level of stock option

participation among senior management; and (4) the use of restricted stock awards to encourage management to balance "upside" and "downside" risk. As a result of this process, there were no recommended changes to the Company's incentive compensation programs.

Communications from Stockholders and Other Interested Parties

To communicate with our Audit Committee regarding issues or complaints about questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, contact the Audit Committee by writing to Audit Committee, Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc., 600 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915.

To send communications to the Board or to individual directors, stockholders should write to Board of Directors, Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc., 600 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA 01915. All communications received will be directly sent to the Board or to individual members of our Board, as addressed.

Board of Directors' Meetings and Committees

During 2013, our Board met five times either by conference call or in person. In 2013, no director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the Board or the meetings of the committee(s) on which he or she served. Although we do not have a policy requiring our directors to attend the Annual Meeting, all of our then-current directors attended last year's annual meeting of stockholders.

Our Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee. The current membership of each committee is as follows:

All members of these committees are independent as defined in the listing standards of Nasdaq. Copies of the charters of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee, as adopted and amended by our Board, are available in the "Corporate Governance" section of our website at ir.atni.com.

Audit Committee

During 2013, the Audit Committee met nine times either by conference call or in person, including several meetings without members of management or the Company's independent auditors. The functions of the Audit Committee include:

Table of Contents

Our Board has determined that each current member of the Audit Committee meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq. It has also determined that Mr. Roesslein, who is currently the Chair of the Audit Committee and a director nominee for re-election, qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under the rules of the SEC and meets the financial sophistication requirements of Nasdaq. In addition, our Nominating Committee has determined that each of the current members of our Audit Committee meet the Nasdaq and SEC standards for audit committee member independence.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee met five times during 2013, and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee consulted and met several times with the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also met once during 2014 to discuss 2013 compensation and bonus awards. The functions of the Compensation Committee include:

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee meets several times each year to carry out these responsibilities. Early in the year, the Compensation Committee begins its analysis by reviewing the compensation trends and practices of the Company's identified peer group as well as any other entities that the Compensation Committee may deem relevant against the current compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's other executive officers. Following this review, the Chief Executive Officer typically meets with the Chairman of the Compensation Committee in order to discuss the draft compensation recommendations, performance analysis and future objectives of each of the executive officers of the Company and provides the Chairman with a memorandum detailing the Company's performance and individual executive officer performance for the year. Upon the request of the Compensation Committee, the Chief Executive Officer may engage in a detailed discussion of the performance of an executive officer or a manager of the Company's key operating units. The Compensation Committee has been authorized by the Board of Directors to delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the power to make limited awards under the Company's 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan") to certain key employees of the Company. Our Nominating Committee has determined that each of the current members of our Compensation Committee meets the independence requirements under Nasdaq and SEC standards for director independence.

The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer in an executive session, following its review of the CEO's performance against his goals for the year, the growth and performance of the Company, his leadership skills for the previous year, his self-analysis for the prior year's performance, and any other relevant factors.

Our Board has determined that each of the current members of the Compensation Committee meet the Nasdaq and SEC standards for committee member independence.

For further information about the Compensation Committee's practices, please see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," under "Executive Officer Compensation," below.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During or prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, no member of our Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of ours or our subsidiaries or, to our knowledge, had relationships requiring disclosure under the SEC rules. In making these statements, we have relied in part upon representations of those directors.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee of our Board met four times in 2013 to conduct a self-assessed review of the Company's Board and discuss nominations for elections of directors for our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The functions of the Nominating Committee include:

EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and maintaining the compensation program for our executive officers. For the purposes of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, "executive officers" and "executives" means the individuals who served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as well as the other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 23 below.

Compensation Philosophy

The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to our long-term success and to maintain a reasonably competitive compensation structure as compared with similarly situated companies. We seek to align compensation with the achievement of business objectives and individual and Company performance. The annual cash bonus opportunity together with equity compensation that we provide our executive officers are our main incentive compensation tools to accomplish this alignment, as described below.

A core principle of our compensation philosophy is that a successful compensation program requires the application of judgment and subjective determinations of individual performance. While we do assign an indicative weight to individual and general Company performance in determining an executive officer's compensation, we do not apply a strictly formulaic or mathematical approach to our compensation program. Our Compensation Committee retains discretion to apply its judgment to adjust and align each individual element of our compensation program with the broader objectives of our compensation program and the overall performance and condition of our company at the time final compensation decisions are made. We believe that our relatively lean management structure, the level of communications between our Board of Directors and our senior management team and our corporate culture make this approach an effective method of determining compensation.

We do not have any employment, severance or change of control agreements with any of our executive officers. To date, we have not relied on executive compensation consultants. Our Compensation Committee does consider the compensation of executive officers at other companies in order to assess the compensation that we offer our executive officers, as discussed below.

External Market Practices and Our Positioning

Generally, we seek to offer executive compensation that is reasonably competitive with companies of a similar size, particularly publicly traded telecommunications companies. Defining a relevant "peer group" for us has been historically difficult because we have the complexity and geographic diversity (and attendant travel demands) of large multi-national companies but have similar total revenues and market capitalization to companies that tend to be focused on a very limited geographic area and provide limited services. Nonetheless, we believe that comparisons to certain other companies can provide us with a useful basic check, mainly for the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and directors.

With respect to the Chief Executive Officer, our Compensation Committee believes his compensation is at a level significantly below market (for example, in 2012, his total compensation was approximately 40% below the average total compensation of CEOs of our peer companies), particularly given the complexity and geographic and sector breadth of our operations and the performance of the Company under his leadership. Our Compensation Committee has discussed this finding with the Chief Executive Officer and he has expressed a desire to avoid any significant increase in his cash

compensation to bring it closer to market levels, although he has welcomed the increase in his equity awards in recent years.

For 2013, our Compensation Committee referred to the executive compensation paid at the following group of companies: Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., Cincinnati Bell, Inc., Leap Wireless International Inc., NTELOS Holding Corp. and US Cellular Corporation. Our Compensation Committee believed that these companies provided us with helpful indicators of competitive executive compensation levels and pay mix because, as a group, they had the following characteristics that are similar to ours: (1) they are telecommunications and technology companies; (2) several of them have both wireless and wireline operations; and (3) several of them are of similar size to the Company. However, our Compensation Committee regards comparisons of us to these companies as reference points only—as such, we did not seek to establish any benchmark in reference to these companies or to require changes in our executive compensation to match changes in those companies' compensation.

Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions

At the end of the year, our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the performance of our other executive officers and makes compensation recommendations to our Compensation Committee based upon those evaluations. Our Board has delegated to our Compensation Committee full discretion in its determination of the compensation to be paid to our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers, including discretion to modify the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer in determining the type and amounts of compensation paid to each executive officer. The Compensation Committee interacts directly with the Chief Executive Officer to evaluate his performance, in addition to conducting its own independent assessment of his performance and the performance of the Company during the year.

Elements of Compensation

Our executive compensation program is focused on three separate elements:

Other than as described below, our Compensation Committee does not have any specific policies or targets for the allocation or "pay mix" of these compensation elements.

We seek to set the base salary of each executive at a level that is competitive, taking into account the overall compensation history of the particular executive and our other executives and the base salaries paid by similarly situated companies. In addition to merit-based changes when warranted, our Compensation Committee generally recommends that base salaries increase annually at a rate that is slightly above or below cost-of-living adjustments, as represented by indicators like the Consumer Price Index. In addition to merit-based changes, larger increases (or decreases) may be made based on a change in the responsibilities of the executive. Factors such as the expansion or contraction of the Company and the financial condition and prospects of the Company may also influence the amount of annual salary adjustments. From time to time, comparative market factors also may cause the Compensation Committee to make or recommend increases above or below the normal cost-of-living adjustment.

Below is a chart showing the base salary rates for 2013 for our named executive officers, in comparison to those in effect in 2012. The base salary increases for 2013, as well as those for 2014, were all roughly in the range of cost-of-living increases (generally between 2% and 2.5% with the exception of Mr. Slap as set forth below), with the individual increases falling above or below that range based on previous increases, the history of the executive's compensation with the Company, any expansion or diminution of the executive's responsibilities and the Board's general sense of whether the executive's compensation is at or below the executive's value to the Company.

Annual Cash Bonus

We believe that a significant bonus opportunity, as measured as a percentage of the executive's base salary, motivates executive performance because it makes a significant amount of the executive's overall compensation contingent upon individual and company performance. Further, such approach enables the Company to avoid a higher fixed cost of annual base salaries and gives us the ability to control a major piece of compensation expense if the Company ever experiences a major business reversal.

For 2013, the annual bonus opportunity for our named executive officers was as follows:

At the end of the year, the Compensation Committee makes an overall assessment of the quality of each executive officer's performance during the year. For executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, this assessment is based largely on discussions between the Compensation Committee and the Chief Executive Officer. As noted above, the Compensation Committee interacts directly with the Chief Executive Officer to evaluate his performance, in addition to conducting its own independent assessment of his performance and the performance of the Company during the year. For 2013, the target amounts of the bonuses were generally unchanged from 2012 levels, based upon the Compensation Committee's assessment that such targets were reasonable and appropriate.

Although broad performance objectives are identified at the beginning of each year as means to align individual behavior with Company objectives, it is communicated to each executive that the Compensation Committee always has the full discretion to determine the extent to which bonuses will be paid or not, regardless of the achievement of any such objectives. For executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, the actual amount of annual cash bonus awarded for 2013 was based on a highly subjective review of a number of factors that are each assigned a recommended weight for each

ZEQ.=3,SEQ=25,EFW="2219763",CP="ATLANTIC TELE-NETWORK, INC.",DN="1",CHK=698501,FOLIO='22',FILE='DISK104:[14ZAE1.14ZAE47701]DI47701A.;7',USER='CHE107604',CD='19-APR-2014;00:30'

executive, which varies based on the roles and duties of each individual. In general, the Compensation Committee believes that the extent to which annual bonuses are paid to the most senior members of our management team, such as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, should be significantly tied to overall Company performance such as significant strategic developments (as assessed by the Compensation Committee) and financial performance.

Our corporate performance has historically been reviewed by reference to year over year consolidated Company performance and our Compensation Committee will take note of additional significant overall Company achievements or weaknesses which may or may not have impacted or been reflected in the Company's financial or operational results. For 2013, other than for the Chief Executive Officer, the weight assigned to each performance factor generally ranged from approximately 35-50% for Company operational and financial performance, 35-50% for individual achievements, including accomplishment of individual goals set for the 2013 fiscal year, and 15% for general individual performance, including overall quality of the individual's work performance throughout the year. While these weight ranges are presented to the Compensation Committee by our Chief Executive Officer as a guide in connection with his assessment of our executives' performance during the year, actual bonus awards are subject to the Compensation Committee's discretion to increase or decrease such amount or weight range for each performance metric based on the Compensation Committee's review of such individual's performance and relevant job responsibilities. This year, the Compensation Committee also used an indicative weighting factor of 65% for Company operational and financial performance, 20% for achievements of specific objectives or other accomplishments and 15% for general individual performance as a general guide for reviewing the performance of our Chief Executive Officer, however, it did not strictly apply these percentages when determining his final compensation package.

Historically, the Company has paid bonuses at levels below the maximum opportunity with the Compensation Committee treating the bonus opportunity percentage as more of a ceiling. However, given the Company's strong financial performance in 2012, bonuses for the 2012 fiscal year were at or just below the target opportunity. For the 2013 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee took into account the outstanding value the Company realized upon the consummation of our sale of our U.S. retail wireless operations (the "Alltel Sale") and determined that bonuses in excess of the target opportunity level were appropriate on a one-time basis for the named executive officers significantly involved in the transaction.

For 2013, we paid the annual bonuses to our named executive officers described under the column entitled "Bonus" in the Summary Compensation Table for the reasons described below:

Our Chief Executive Officer was paid an annual bonus of $930,000, representing approximately 165% of his 2013 annual bonus opportunity, which included an extraordinary bonus award of $400,000 in cash and the award of unrestricted stock as described on page 21 in recognition of his contributions to the Alltel Sale. In addition to its own favorable assessment of the Chief Executive Officer's performance, the Compensation Committee took particular note of his strategic leadership on the timing and execution of the Company's exit from the U.S. retail wireless sector and the Company's strong financial performance for the year.

Our Chief Financial Officer was paid an annual bonus of $505,000, or approximately 200% of his 2013 annual bonus opportunity, which included an extraordinary bonus award of $280,000 in cash and the award of unrestricted stock as described on page 21 in recognition of his contributions to the Alltel Sale. As with the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee took note of the Company's strong financial performance for the year. The Committee also viewed his individual performance very favorably, particularly his work during and after the Alltel Sale on the separation of our U.S. wireless retail assets and transitioning personnel and operations accordingly.

In reviewing with the Chief Executive Officer the recommendations for annual bonuses to be paid to the other executives, the Compensation Committee considered each officer's contribution to achieving the Company's financial performance and continued growth, using the weight ranges described above as a general guide. With respect to Messrs. Kreisher, Slap and Noone, the Company's strong financial performance, including the increase in the operating income from our continued operations by 14% in 2013 to $64.4 million, and an increase in our cash position to over $400 million at year end, was a positive factor in determining their compensation. As it does every year, the Compensation Committee also considered issues of internal equity that would arise from the payment of these bonuses. Based on the foregoing, the Compensation Committee determined to pay the following annual bonuses to the other named executive officers: William F. Kreisher, $915,000 or 750% of his 2013 annual bonus opportunity (which included an extraordinary bonus award of $800,000 in cash in recognition of his consideration of strategic alternatives for the Company's U.S. retail wireless business and the ultimate consummation of the Alltel Sale); Leonard Q. Slap, $490,000 or 500% of his 2013 annual bonus opportunity (which included an extraordinary bonus award of $400,000 in cash in recognition of his extensive work with respect to the negotiation of the Alltel Sale) and Karl D. Noone, $50,000 or 75% of his 2013 annual bonus opportunity (in recognition of his work and oversight surrounding the Company's tax and discontinued operations reporting requirements in 2013). Each of Messrs. Prior, Benincasa, Kreisher and Slap also received the award of unrestricted stock as described below in recognition of their contributions to the Alltel Sale.

Annual Equity Award

Under our 2008 Plan, we may grant stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards to our directors, consultants and employees, including our executive officers. Awards made under the 2008 Plan may be granted subject to conditions and restrictions, including voting requirements, achievement of performance goals and forfeiture and recapture of shares upon certain events. Our Compensation Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, grants awards to our employees under our 2008 Plan. Our Chief Executive Officer also has authority to make limited grants under the 2008 Plan to certain key employees of the Company.

In addition to annual equity awards to our officers, we have awarded significant equity compensation in connection with the hiring or promotions of executive officers. For new hires, the awards typically are made at the next regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meeting following the hire or promotion. In general, we have awarded restricted stock and stock options with time-based vesting schedules of four years, and, in the case of stock options, have a term of ten years. For 2012 and 2013 compensation, the Compensation Committee granted all equity awards in the form of restricted or unrestricted stock and did not issue option awards. The Compensation Committee believes that given the Company's disciplined, long-term approach to its investing and operating strategy and its practice of providing a current return to stockholders in the form of dividends, restricted stock is a better tool for aligning, incentivizing, retaining and rewarding our executive officers at this time.

In approving the annual cash bonus and equity incentive awards, the Compensation Committee assesses the risks associated with the adoption of these awards, including the performance measures and goals for the awards, and for 2013 concluded that the stock grant awards described above would not be likely to encourage excessive risk taking, as the restricted stock awards vest ratably over a period of four years and the stock awards were made for extraordinary achievements. In making the September 2013 grants, the Compensation Committee took into account the exceptional value realized by the Company upon consummation of the Alltel Sale along with the time and effort invested by each executive in identifying and executing the transaction and determined that granting unrestricted shares of Company stock, as opposed to restricted stock, served as appropriate compensation for the achievement while still allowing for alignment of the executive's continued performance in 2013 with the future growth of the Company.

While the Compensation Committee believes it is an important policy of the Board to seek to keep the aggregate shares underlying outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock at a reasonable level in relation to our outstanding equity (calculated on a fully diluted basis), we believe that equity compensation will remain a critical recruitment, retention and incentive tool.

In 2008, we adopted a deferred compensation plan for our then existing executives. This plan is intended to provide retirement income to our executive officers. It was adopted to offset a reduction in our annual contributions to these executives' accounts under our 401(k) retirement plan that we instituted as a result of the consolidation of our 401(k) plan with similar plans of companies that we acquired. Under this plan, we make quarterly credits equal to 8% of the executive's then current base salary to an account on behalf of the executive. In addition to these quarterly credits, we may make additional credits in our sole discretion. See the description of the deferred compensation plan under the caption Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan Transactions in 2013 for more information. Executives hired after 2008 do not participate in this plan. Except for this plan, our executive officers currently do not receive any benefits, including retirement, medical and dental, life and disability insurance, which are not also available to all of our employees.

We have no change of control agreements with, or severance plans with respect to, any of our executive officers.

As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act, in 2011 we conducted our first advisory vote of stockholders with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers. At the 2011 Annual Meeting, more than 90% of the shares present, or present by proxy, and entitled to vote

at the 2011 Annual Meeting approved our named executive officer compensation. While the approval was advisory and non-binding in nature, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinion of stockholders and consider this outcome as an indication that stockholders agree that our executive compensation programs use appropriate structures and policies that are effective in achieving our Company's goals and objectives. As a consequence, the Compensation Committee has not made significant changes in our executive compensation programs as a result of the advisory vote.

At the 2011 Annual Meeting, stockholders also voted on a non-binding and advisory basis to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years. Accordingly, we are asking stockholders to participate in another advisory vote on executive compensation at the Annual Meeting. For more information on this advisory vote, see " Proposal 2: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation ."

Compensation Committee Report

Each member of the Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management and, based on such review and discussions, we recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

(1) The amounts reported in this column are reported for fiscal 2013 and the "All Other Compensation" column of the 2013 Summary Compensation Table.

Effective as of December 5, 2008, we adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for our then existing executive officers. This plan is intended to provide retirement income to our executive officers and was adopted to offset a reduction in our annual contributions to those executives' accounts under our 401(k) retirement plan that we instituted as a result of the consolidation of our 401(k) plan with similar plans of companies that we acquired. Accordingly, we do not expect to add newly hired executives to this plan and Messrs. Slap and Noone are not participants in the plan. Under this plan, we make quarterly credits equal to 8% of the executive officer's then current quarterly base salary to an account in the plan on behalf of the executive. In addition to these quarterly credits, the Compensation Committee may make additional credits in its sole discretion. Credits to such executive officer's account under the plan will be deemed to be invested in one or more investment funds selected by the executive officer from among alternatives approved by the Compensation Committee. Overall investment return is dependent upon the performance of each executive officer's selected investment alternatives. Credits will be fully vested at all times and the executive officers will have a nonforfeitable interest in the balance of their respective accounts. Benefits under the plan are payable upon a separation from service in a cash lump sum or in accordance with a fixed schedule elected by the executive officer. Distributions may be made prior to the executive officer's separation from service only for certain financial hardship reasons. The plan is intended to be compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to constitute a non-qualified, unfunded executive benefit plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

All of our employees, including our named executive officers, are employees-at-will and, as such, do not have employment contracts or retention agreements with us. In addition, we do not have change-in-control or severance agreements with any of our named executive officers.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our Compensation Committee has the responsibility of reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding director compensation. We use a combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified directors. In setting director compensation, we consider the time demand and the requisite knowledge and expertise required to effectively fulfill their duties and responsibilities to us and our stockholders. We also consider the compensation set by our peer companies in our determination of director compensation.

The table below summarizes the compensation paid to, or earned by, our non-employee directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Mr. M. Prior, our Chief Executive Officer, does not receive any compensation for his Board service beyond the compensation he receives as an executive officer of the Company.

Retainers and Meeting Fees

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, our non-employee directors (excluding our Chairman) received an annual retainer of $90,000 (consisting of $25,000 in cash and $65,000 in stock). In addition to the retainers, members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees received additional annual payments of $10,000, $5,000 and $1,000, respectively. The Chairs of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees also received additional annual payments of $15,000, $10,000 and $2,500, respectively.

The Compensation Committee determined in its review of director compensation for the 2013 fiscal year against compensation received by the Board of the Company's peer group to increase director compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 by $15,000 to an annual retainer of $105,000 (consisting of $40,000 in cash and $65,000 in stock) for our non-employee directors and by $15,000 to an annual salary of $140,000 for our Chairman, effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting.

Restricted Stock Grant to New Board Members

Under the 2008 Plan, new directors receive a one-time payment of $30,000 paid entirely in restricted stock that vests over three years. The per share price will be determined as of the close of the Nasdaq market on the date of the director's election to the Board.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policy on Related Person Transactions

Our Board has a written Related Person Transaction Policy that sets forth our policies and procedures for the reporting, review, and approval or ratification of each related person transaction. Our Audit Committee is responsible for implementing this policy and determining whether any related person transaction is in our best interests. The policy applies to transactions and other relationships that would need to be disclosed in this proxy statement as related person transactions pursuant to SEC rules. In general, these transactions and relationships are defined as those involving a direct or indirect interest of any of our executive officers, directors, nominees for director and 5% stockholders, as well as specified members of the family or household of any of these individuals or stockholders, where we or any of our affiliates have participated in the transaction(s) as a direct party or by arranging the transaction(s) and the transaction(s) involves more than $100,000 in any calendar year. The policy also provides that certain types of transactions are deemed to be pre-approved or ratified, as applicable by our Audit Committee.

Related Person Transactions

In June 2010, we entered into a joint venture with Schuchman Consulting LLC ("Schuchman Consulting"), an entity wholly owned by Brian A. Schuchman, one of our former directors. Mr. Schuchman retired from our board effective June 2013. The purpose of the joint venture is to actively evaluate wireless opportunities in the Caribbean, including an investment made in Aruba in June 2010 consisting of a newly-created company called Caribbean Telecom Partners, LLC ("CTP"). Schuchman Consulting provides the day-to-day management of CTP, including identifying new investment opportunities for CTP in the Caribbean. Pursuant to a consulting agreement between CTP and Schuchman Consulting, CTP paid Schuchman Consulting $37,500 for these services in 2012. CTP has established an equity incentive pool consisting of non-voting common stock for its management team equal to 10% of its common equity, of which one-half has been issued to Schuchman Consulting. Customary non-competition and non-solicitation agreements are in place between Schuchman Consulting and CTP.

Our Audit Committee negotiated the specific structure and terms of the joint venture and unanimously approved the arrangement described above in accordance with the terms of our Related Person Transaction Policy.
