Non-Management Directors and Shareholder Communication with Directors
As required by NYSE listing standards, the non-management directors of U.S. Cellular meet at
regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. Walter C.D. Carlson presides at all
meetings of the non-management directors of U.S. Cellular. In addition, as required by NYSE listing
standards, the independent directors of U.S. Cellular meet at least once per year in an executive session
without management or directors who are not independent.
Shareholders or other interested parties may send communications to the U.S. Cellular board of
directors, to the non-management directors or to specified individual directors of U.S. Cellular at any
time. Shareholders or other interested parties should direct their communication to such persons or
group in care of the Secretary of U.S. Cellular, c/o Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., 30 N. LaSalle St.,
Chicago IL 60602. Any shareholder communications that are addressed to the board of directors, the
non-management directors or specified individual directors will be delivered by the Secretary to such
persons or group.
Information on communicating with directors is available on U.S. Cellular’s web site,
www.uscellular.com, under About Us—Investor Relations—Corporate Governance—Contact the Board.
U.S. Cellular Policy on Attendance of Directors at Annual Meeting of Shareholders
All directors are invited and encouraged to attend the annual meeting of shareholders, which is
normally followed by the annual meeting of the board of directors. In general, all directors attend the
annual meeting of shareholders unless they are unable to do so because of unavoidable commitments
or intervening events. All nine of the directors attended the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders.
Codes of Ethics for Directors

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Officers and Directors, as amended as of September 15, 2008.

Relations—Corporate Governance—Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Officers and Directors, and
is available in print to any shareholder who requests it.
