Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements for Certain Officers

The following information is being provided pursuant to paragraph (e) of Item 5.02 of Form 8-K:

The parent company of United States Cellular Corporation (“U.S. Cellular”), Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (“TDS”), previously established the Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for the benefit of eligible employees of TDS and certain subsidiaries of TDS, including U.S. Cellular. The SERP provides supplemental benefits to offset the reduction of benefits under the TDS Pension Plan caused by the limitation on annual employee compensation which can be considered for tax-qualified pension plans under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and certain other Code limitations. The SERP is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan and is unfunded.

The foregoing brief summary of the SERP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (As Amended and Restated, Effective January 1, 2009), which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference to this Item 5.02 and Amendment Number One to the SERP, which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference to this Item 5.02.

On November 3, 2014, TDS amended the SERP to clarify that a rehired employee who participated in the SERP as of the date of his or her immediately preceding separation shall recommence participation in the SERP as of the date of his or her rehire, provided that he or she is appointed as an officer within three (3) months following his or her rehire date. The amendment also includes provisions (i) addressing the revocation of a spouse as beneficiary upon a divorce; (ii) specifying a contractual statute of limitations for claims under the SERP; (iii) specifying the Northern District of Illinois as the designated forum for legal actions under the SERP; and (iv) identifying limitations in calculating any award of legal fees with respect to the SERP.

The foregoing brief summary of the amendment to the SERP is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment Number Two to the Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference to this Item 5.02.
