U.S. Cellular is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the amounts of bonuses paid to its named executive officers in 2014 with respect to 2013 performance.  Pursuant to Instruction 4 of Item 5.02, the below persons include the persons who were identified as named executive officers in U.S. Cellular’s most recent proxy statement filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2013 (which will not be the same as the persons who will be named executive officers in the 2014 proxy statement). 

 

Pursuant to the foregoing, the following amounts of bonuses were paid on March 13, 2014 relating to 2013 performance to the below persons:

 

 

               

 

*  Such officer resigned from U.S. Cellular prior to the payment of bonuses on March 13, 2014 and, accordingly, was not paid a bonus with respect to 2013 performance.

 

The above shows the entire amount of the bonus paid, whether or not some or all of such bonus has been deferred and whether or not some portion of such amount will be reported as non-equity incentive plan compensation in the 2014 proxy statement.

 

The above payments were made pursuant to the U.S. Cellular 2013 Officer Annual Incentive Plan.  A copy of this plan was filed with the SEC on a Form 8-K dated July 22, 2013.
