percentage of Windstream’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal and/or
(b) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal.
All notices of stockholder nominations for director or other proposed business must be delivered in
writing to the Corporate Secretary of Windstream at the principal executive offices of Windstream at 4001
Rodney Parham Road, Little Rock, Arkansas 72212.
Windstream will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be
solicited by officers, directors, and employees of Windstream, personally or by telephone or electronic means. In
the event the management of Windstream deems it advisable, Windstream may engage the services of an
independent proxy solicitation firm to aid in the solicitation of proxies. The fees paid by Windstream, in the
event of such an engagement, likely would not exceed $20,000. Windstream will pay persons holding stock in
their names or those of their nominees for their expenses in sending soliciting material to their principals in
accordance with regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange.
The material referred to in this proxy statement under the caption “Audit Committee Report” shall not be
deemed soliciting material or otherwise deemed filed and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by any general
statement of incorporation by reference in any filings made under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL SHARES BE VOTED PROMPTLY. THEREFORE,
STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO FILL IN, DATE, SIGN, AND RETURN THE ACCOMPANYING
PROXY IN THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE, OR VOTE ON THE INTERNET OR BY TELEPHONE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS SET FORTH ON THE PROXY CARD.
Dated: March 31, 2008 By Order of the Board of Directors,
John P. Fletcher,
Secretary
