 T-Mobile and AT&T transactions include certain wireless spectrum licenses that are held by entities in which UScellular is a non-controlling limited partner. The closing with respect to these wireless spectrum licenses is contingent upon UScellular's purchase, which is pending receipt of regulatory approval, of the remaining equity in the entities that UScellular does not currently own. 

The uncertainty regarding the transactions and continued strategic alternatives review process could result in: a diversion of management's attention from UScellular's existing business; a failure to achieve financial and operating objectives; adverse effects on UScellular's financial condition or results of operations; a failure to retain key personnel, customers, business partners or contracts; and volatility in UScellular's stock price.

The strategic alternatives review process has already resulted in the incurrence of significant expense primarily related to legal and financial advisors - this is expected to continue. Further, as a result of changes to its spectrum units of accounting, UScellular recognized a significant impairment on its spectrum assets during 2024 and there may be further events and circumstances that occur which may result in additional impairments for the spectrum that is retained, or for the spectrum that is pending sale if such sales do not close as expected.

In addition, UScellular may be unable to find buyers at mutually agreeable prices for its spectrum assets not subject to the recent transactions, including the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Verizon Purchase Agreement, or the AT&T Purchase Agreement.

See Note 7 — Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T transactions, including the uncertainty related to certain portions of the transaction proceeds.

2)If the T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T transactions are not consummated, substantial changes will be required to the manner in which UScellular’s wireless business is conducted, and we expect there will be a material adverse effect on UScellular's financial condition and results of operations.

If the T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T transactions are not consummated, UScellular would continue to operate its wireless business in an environment of intensifying competitive pressures and limited capital resources. In that scenario, UScellular would be required to develop and implement new
