resulting from pending and future litigation could have an adverse effect on U.S. Cellular’s business,
financial condition or results of operations.

such as pacemakers, could have an adverse effect on U.S. Cellular’s business, financial condition or
results of operations.
•Claims of infringement of intellectual property and proprietary rights of others, primarily involving patent
infringement claims, could prevent U.S. Cellular from using necessary technology to provide products or
services or subject U.S. Cellular to expensive intellectual property litigation or monetary penalties, which
could have an adverse effect on U.S. Cellular’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
•There are potential conflicts of interests between TDS and U.S. Cellular.
•Certain matters, such as control by TDS and provisions in the U.S. Cellular Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, may serve to discourage or make more difficult a change in control of U.S. Cellular.

and/or any other financial or statistical information to vary from U.S. Cellular’s forward-looking estimates
by a material amount.
See ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in U.S. Cellular’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012
