Some statements in this Annual Report are known as “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, or
the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other
things:
· future performance generally,
· our dividend policy and expectations regarding dividend payments,
· business development activities,
· future capital and operating expenditures, including in connection with our proposed merger with a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc.,
· 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,
· the effects of regulation and competition, and
· pending litigation.
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 1A. 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, or the SEC. 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 SEC on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and Schedule 14A.
