TDS TELECOM OPERATIONS

General

TDS Telecom provides communications services to 1.1 million connections in 30 states through its high-quality fiber, coaxial and copper networks. TDS Telecom operates in one reportable segment, and its operating markets are located in a mix of small to mid-sized urban, suburban and rural communities throughout the United States.

Operating Strategy and Community Focus

TDS Telecom invests in high-quality networks, services and products, with the constant focus on delivering outstanding customer service. Through its investments, TDS Telecom intends to improve its broadband services and extend its footprint. TDS Telecom aims to augment that broadband growth by bundling with video, voice, wireless and other value-added services. TDS Telecom seeks to be the preferred broadband provider by offering fiber-rich networks, high-quality products and services, and a seamless customer experience.

A key strategic initiative for TDS Telecom is investing in fiber to provide broadband speeds of up to 8 Gigabits per second (Gbps). Fiber builds allow TDS Telecom to deliver more robust residential and commercial products in its markets that have historically utilized copper technologies and to target attractive, growing markets to increase its total footprint. In 2025, TDS Telecom continued to expand its footprint through fiber investments in Wisconsin and the Pacific Northwest. TDS Telecom may seek to grow its operations through additional investments in fiber and through the acquisition of and/or partnership with businesses that support and complement its existing markets or by creating entirely new clusters of markets in attractive locations.

TDS Telecom believes that being a good corporate citizen is fundamental to its long-term success. TDS Telecom is committed to growing with its communities and meeting the needs of customers through great products and services, sponsorships, fundraising, and volunteering. TDS Telecom serves its local communities by financially supporting local projects to serve those in need and by providing TDS Telecom associates with paid time off each year to volunteer. TDS Telecom believes serving its local communities through donations and volunteerism aligns with its corporate values and commitments to its customers, associates, and communities.

Technology

TDS Telecom continues to upgrade and enhance its networks by utilizing various technologies to improve levels of performance and provide additional speed and security to increase value for its customers. The TDS network consists of a highly reliable IP-based broadband network to facilitate the integration of broadband, video and voice services.

In order to provide IP-based services, TDS Telecom has developed and deployed an inter-regional data routing infrastructure using owned and leased fiber capacity which allows it to leverage its 400-gigabit core network. This configuration, along with the continued development of an IP network that interconnects substantially all the existing service territories, provides redundancy and allows for next generation IP service offerings.

TDS Telecom utilizes centralized monitoring and management of its core network to reduce costs and improve service reliability. TDS Telecom continues to standardize equipment and processes to increase efficiency in maintaining its network. Network standardization has aided TDS Telecom in operating its 24-hours-a-day/7-days-per-week Network Management Centers, which continuously monitor the network to proactively identify, minimize, and correct network faults prior to any customer impact.

TDS Telecom continues to invest in initiatives designed to enhance the customer experience. As part of a multi-year transformation program, TDS Telecom is executing IT modernization plans aimed at delivering improvement in customer interactions. These investments are expected to strengthen operational efficiency and drive long-term cost savings while supporting growth.

Federal Connect America Fund (CAF), including ACAM, E-ACAM, and state Universal Service Fund (USF) revenues, which support the cost of providing communication services in underserved high-cost areas, are also included in wholesale service revenues.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution Channels and Customer Service

Marketing. TDS Telecom’s marketing plan is focused on acquiring, retaining and growing customer relationships by maintaining a high-quality network, providing outstanding customer service, and offering a comprehensive portfolio of services and products built around customer needs with a local focus. TDS Telecom uses door-to-door selling, digital marketing, targeted mailings and mass advertising to market services and products. TDS Telecom differentiates itself from competitors using a hyper-localized and community-based sales and marketing effort to maximize broadband penetration.

Sales and Distribution Channels. TDS Telecom operates and uses sales contact centers, direct sales forces including third-party direct sales, retail stores, sales agents and an online platform to sell services and products.

Customer Service. TDS Telecom manages customer retention by focusing on outstanding customer service through training of front-line sales and support associates.

Competition

TDS Telecom faces broadband, video, voice and wireless competition from wireline providers, cable providers, fiber overbuilders, VoIP providers, satellite providers, wireless providers and providers using other emerging technologies.

TDS Telecom continues to improve the efficiency of its cost structure to enhance its ability to compete with price-based initiatives from competitors. In addition to price, TDS Telecom competes based on a variety of factors including the reliability of its network, faster broadband speeds, the diversity and range of its product offerings and its focus on outstanding customer service.

ARRAY OPERATIONS

General

Array connects America through digital infrastructure by leasing tower space to tenants and providing ancillary services. As of December 31, 2025, Array owns 4,450 towers in 19 states. Array also holds noncontrolling interests in primarily wireless operating companies and holds certain wireless spectrum licenses. As of December 31, 2025, Array is an 82.0%-owned subsidiary of TDS. Through July 31, 2025, Array provided wireless communication services; these operations and certain wireless spectrum licenses were disposed of on August 1, 2025, as discussed further below.

Operating Strategy and Recent Developments

Array is the fifth largest tower owner and operator of shared wireless communications infrastructure in the United States. With 4,450 cell towers, Array enables the deployment of 5G and other wireless technologies throughout the country. Array has a unique wireless carrier heritage and has owned and operated towers for over 40 years. This experience gives Array a robust understanding of the needs of its wireless customers and enables the delivery of exceptional service. Array has built a strong and focused organization that has been and will be relied upon as an efficient and cost-effective partner for colocation. Array’s strategy is to drive increased colocation on its portfolio of unique tower locations and support the delivery of connectivity to the communities in which it operates.

Array’s operations are characterized by:

•Array’s tenants lease space on Array's communications infrastructure, installing network equipment on Array tower structures. Revenues vary by tenant and are dependent on numerous factors, such as quantity of installed equipment, location of installed equipment on the tower structure and tower location, amongst others. Array has entered into long-term Master License Agreements (MLAs) with its largest customers, which ensures a defined lease term and defined lease escalators. Array generally experiences very limited tenant churn and high lease renewal rates driven by the high cost tenants incur to move sites as well as the potential lack of availability of suitable alternative tower structures. Array's largest tenants include T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon.

•Array's towers are generally located on leased land, though approximately 18% of the portfolio is located on deeded land or land where there is a perpetual easement. Additionally, over 65% of towers on leased land have a lease expiration date ten years or more in the future. Array's towers generally sit within a fenced compound that contains the tower itself as well as space for tenant equipment including shelters and generators. The average height of an Array tower is 260 feet, with tower heights ranging from 60 to 600 feet. Array's portfolio consists of monopole, self-support (lattice), and guyed towers. In addition to the tower structure, guyed towers have guy-wires that extend down to guy anchors. Substantially all of Array's towers have adequate tower capacity and ground space to accommodate additional tenants.

•Demand for tower infrastructure continues to be high, driven primarily by continued growth in mobile data consumption. Array is in a unique position of having a lower tenancy rate than other tower operators due to the tower portfolio being part of the broader legacy wireless business prior to August 2025. This provides Array with ample remaining leasable vertical real estate in attractive rural, suburban and urban areas in the communities in which Array operates.

•Array's direct tower operations costs consist of ground rent, tower maintenance, utilities, property tax and property insurance. Ground rent is the largest of these operating costs and is generally governed by long-term ground lease agreements with periodic escalators.

•Array’s Selling, general and administrative expenses include employee related expenses, bad debts expense, consulting fees, and other general and administrative expenses. In 2025, Selling, general and administrative expenses also included significant costs associated with the wind down of the wireless operations that were not included in discontinued operations. These expenses are expected to persist at a declining rate into future periods.

Array’s strategy is focused on:

•T-Mobile MLA integration: Continued partnership with T-Mobile to implement the provisions of the long-term MLA. This includes the execution of the 2,015 committed site lease agreements (SLAs), caring for interim site terminations, and partnering to drive incremental tenancies above the MLA commitment.

•Growing colocation revenue: Array is focused on increasing the cash flow generated from its tower portfolio and is positioned to drive growth over the coming years. First, over one-third of Array's portfolio of towers has no competing structure within a two-mile radius. Second, Array's tenancy rate is lower than other tower companies, providing sufficient capacity for additional tenants and greater opportunity for lease up. Third, Array has a dedicated sales team supporting its carrier customers and has recently added dedicated team members to support its non-carrier customers and continue to grow those relationships. From an industry perspective, Array believes that continued growth in demand for wireless services, spectrum build-outs, efforts to bridge the digital divide and the emergence of next-generation technologies will drive the need for additional communications infrastructure.

•Ground lease optimization: Array seeks to increase its ground ownership position through continued ground lease purchases as well as proactively renewing ground leases well before lease expiration.

•Evaluation of towers without tenants portfolio: At the conclusion of the T-Mobile integration, Array expects to have 800 – 1,800 towers without tenants. Ongoing analysis will inform Array's strategy for these towers, including assessing the leasability of each tower, ground rent rationalization and long-term alternatives. Array believes that on balance there is significant value in its towers without tenants portfolio that it will strive to unlock through a combination of activities, including increased leasing, ground rent rationalization, and if necessary, divesting, including potential decommissioning, for these locations.

On August 1, 2025, Array sold its wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile US, Inc. (T-Mobile) under a Securities Purchase Agreement (Securities Purchase Agreement). Total consideration received was $4,293.8 million after adjustments which included a combination of $2,628.8 million in cash proceeds and $1,665.0 million in debt assumed by T-Mobile through the preliminary results of an exchange offer made to Array's debtholders, which subsequently closed on August 5, 2025. The final cash proceeds are subject to adjustment according to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. At closing, a $16.7 million deferral of the purchase price was recorded related to certain spectrum licenses included in the transaction that did not transfer to T-Mobile and are subject to FCC approval. In addition, at closing, Array and T-Mobile entered into a Short-Term Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement and Short-Term Spectrum Manager Sublease Agreements which provide T-Mobile with an exclusive license to use certain Array spectrum assets and leases at no cost for up to one-year for the sole purpose of providing continued, uninterrupted service to customers. Further, at closing, Array and T-Mobile entered into a Master License Agreement (MLA), pursuant to which, among other things, T-Mobile has agreed to license from Array space on towers owned by Array. The wireless operations and select spectrum assets sold to T-Mobile are presented as discontinued operations throughout this report. See Note 2 — Discontinued Operations in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

In addition to the sale of Array's wireless operations and select spectrum assets sold to T-Mobile pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Array also separately entered into the following agreements to sell spectrum license assets.

See Note 7 — Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The strategic alternatives review process is ongoing as Array works toward closing the Verizon and T-Mobile spectrum transactions signed during 2024 and 2025, and seeks to opportunistically monetize its remaining spectrum assets that are not subject to executed agreements.

As part of its business development strategy, Array may periodically be engaged in negotiations relating to strategic partnerships and/or the acquisition or disposition of assets and/or investment interests.

Competition

Array primarily faces competition from other companies that own tower assets in the areas in which Array operates. This includes, but is not limited to, large tower operators (American Tower Corporation, Crown Castle Inc and SBA Communications Corporation), regional tower operators, build-to-suit tower providers, owners of non-tower infrastructure that can be leveraged to house communications equipment (e.g., rooftops) and wireless providers that opt to own and operate their own infrastructure. The primary competitive factors in the industry include tower location, speed of deployment and lease agreement structure (pricing and entitlements), as well as expertise in the end-to-end leasing process.

TDS — REGULATION

TDS’ operations are subject to federal, state and local regulation. Key regulatory considerations are discussed below.

TDS Telecom

The FCC generally exercises jurisdiction over all facilities of, and services offered by, TDS Telecom’s Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILEC) as telecommunications common carriers, to the extent they provide, originate or terminate interstate or international telecommunications. State public utility commissions generally exercise jurisdiction over intrastate telecommunications facilities and services. In addition, the ILECs are subject to various other state and local laws, including laws relating to privacy, data security and consumer protection.

The Communications Act requires, among other things, that telecommunications common carriers offer interstate services when requested at just and reasonable rates at terms and conditions that are non-discriminatory. Maximum rates for regulated interstate services are prescribed by the FCC. In many states, local rates paid by end user customers and intrastate access charges paid by carriers continue to be subject to state commission approval. The FCC regulations also cover matters such as technical operations, administrative requirements, interconnection, consumer protection, access by people with disabilities, customer privacy and content. TDS Telecom maintains comprehensive privacy and data security programs and monitors regulatory developments to ensure ongoing compliance.

TDS Telecom’s other operations are subject to similar but reduced regulation compared to ILECs.

Providing video services requires TDS Telecom to obtain franchises from state or local governmental authorities to occupy public rights of way with network facilities. These franchises are nonexclusive and typically limited in time, contain various conditions and limitations, and provide for the payment of fees to the local authority, determined generally as a standard percentage of revenues. TDS Telecom expects to continue to meet the criteria of the state or local government authorities' franchise renewal process.

Array

Array's operations are subject to federal, state and local regulation, including Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulation. The FCC and FAA regulate towers for wireless communications, radio, or television broadcasting. These regulations dictate the registration, lighting, marking and maintenance of Array's towers as well as siting and construction of any new towers and are dependent on such factors as the height of the tower and the proximity to an airfield. New tower construction and some modifications to existing structures are also subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”), National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and/or other federal, state and local regulations.

Array is subject to state and local regulations around land use, subdivision and zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by local authorities and developers. These regulations vary but can require approval from local authorities, community organizations or environmental organizations before tower construction or modifications to an existing tower. At times these bodies can block tower construction or modification, impeding Array’s ability to meet customer demand. As an owner and operator of real estate, Array is subject to federal, state and local environmental and hazardous materials regulation.
