*Item 8.01. Other Events*

This Current Report on Form 8-K of U.S. Cellular is being filed in connection with certain amendments (the “Charter Amendments”) effected by U.S. Cellular’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed on November 10, 2014. The Charter Amendments were described in U.S. Cellular’s definitive proxy statement dated October 15, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Schedule 14A on such date.

Shareholders of U.S. Cellular approved the Charter Amendments at a special meeting of shareholders held on November 10, 2014. As a result, U.S. Cellular filed a Restated Certificate of Incorporation which included the Charter Amendments with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 10, 2014.

Among other things, the Charter Amendments (1) declassified the U.S. Cellular Board of Directors so that each director will be elected annually rather than once every three years (the “Declassification Amendment”), effective beginning with the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,(2) will result in U.S. Cellular opting out of Section 203 (the “Section 203 Amendment”) of the Delaware General Corporation Law effective May 17, 2016 (which is the anticipated date of U.S. Cellular annual meeting of shareholder in 2016), and (3) corrected, updated and cleaned-up U.S. Cellular’s prior restated certificate of incorporation (the “Ancillary Amendment”), which Ancillary Amendment was effective upon filing on November 10, 2014.

A description of the provisions adopted or changed and a comparison to the provisions of U.S. Cellular’s prior restated certificate of incorporation, and the effect of the modifications thereto, are hereby incorporated by reference from U.S. Cellular’s definitive proxy statement dated October 15, 2014 as filed with the SEC on Schedule 14A on such date.
