OTHER MATTERS
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors,
executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater
than 10% shareholders are required by regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all
Section 16(a) reports that they file. Such reports are filed on Forms 3, 4 and 5 under the Exchange Act. Based
solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms received by it, the Company believes that, during the
period commencing January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010, all such persons complied on a timely basis
with the filing requirements of Section 16(a), except as follows: equity awards granted to Messrs. Wojtaszek,
Wilson, and Freyberger and Ms. Khoury on December 7, 2010 were inadvertently reported late by the Company
on January 11, 2011.
Shareholder Proposals for Next Year’s Annual Meeting
Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in next year’s Proxy Statement should be sent to Christopher
J. Wilson, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Cincinnati Bell Inc., 221 East Fourth Street,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, and must be received by November 23, 2011. Any such proposal must comply with
Rule 14a-8 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any
shareholder, who intends to propose any other matter to be acted upon at the 2012 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders without inclusion of such proposal in the Company’s Proxy Statement, must inform the Company
no later than February 6, 2012. If notice is not provided by that date, the persons named in the Company’s proxy

proposal without the matter having been discussed in the Proxy Statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.
Shareholders may propose director candidates for consideration by the Governance and Nominating
Committee of the Board of Directors. Any such recommendations should be directed to Christopher J. Wilson,
Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Cincinnati Bell Inc., 221 East Fourth Street, Cincinnati,
Ohio 45202, and must be received no later than November 23, 2011 for the 2012 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.
Other Matters to Come Before the Meeting
At the time this Proxy Statement was released for printing on March 21, 2011, the Company knew of no
other matters that might be presented for action at the meeting. If any other matters properly come before the
meeting, it is intended that the voting shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect thereto in
accordance with the judgment of the persons voting them.
