Some statements in this Annual Report are known as "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, which we refer to as the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which we refer to as the
Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things:
•our dividend policy and expectations regarding dividend payments,
•minimum Adjusted EBITDA estimates,
•future performance generally,
•business development activities,
•future capital expenditures,
•future interest expense,
•distributions from minority investments and passive partnership interests,
•net operating loss carry forwards,
•technological developments and changes in the communications industry,
•financing sources and availability,
•regulatory support payments, and
•the effects of regulation and competition.
These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions
and other statements contained in this Annual Report that are not historical facts. When used in this Annual Report, the words "expects,"
"anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Because these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that
could cause actual results, events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements,
including our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other factors discussed under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Risk Factors" and other parts of this Annual Report. You should not place undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on
which this Annual Report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, your attention is directed to
any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and Schedule 14A.
