    Transaction would be all-stock, meaning TDS shareholders may face dilution depending on exchange ratio and Array's current valuation relative to TDS market cap.

Summary

Telephone and Data Systems announced it has proposed acquiring the remaining shares of Array Digital Infrastructure that it doesn't currently own through an all-stock merger. This move would consolidate TDS's ownership from partial to complete control of Array, a digital infrastructure company. The proposal was submitted to Array's board on May 7, 2026.

For TDS shareholders, this matters because an all-stock deal could dilute existing ownership depending on the exchange ratio offered to Array shareholders. The strategic rationale likely centers on capturing full value from Array's infrastructure assets rather than sharing upside with minority holders. However, investors should assess whether Array's business justifies the dilution and integration costs.

Watch for Array's board response and any fairness opinion, as well as TDS's disclosure of the proposed exchange ratio. If Array rejects the offer or demands a higher price, TDS may need to sweeten terms or pursue alternative strategies, impacting shareholder value.
