United States Cellular Corporation’s 2015 Executive Officer Annual Incentive Plan.

As of April 17, 2015, the United States Cellular Corporation (“U.S. Cellular”) 2015 Executive Officer Annual Incentive Plan Effective January 1, 2015 (“2015 Incentive Plan”) was approved by both U.S. Cellular’s Chairman and by U.S. Cellular’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Neither the Chairman nor the President and Chief Executive Officer participate in such plan.

The purposes of the 2015 Incentive Plan are: to provide incentive for the executive officers of U.S. Cellular to extend their best efforts toward achieving superior results in relation to key business performance targets; to reward U.S. Cellular’s executive officers in relation to their success in meeting and exceeding the performance targets; and to help U.S. Cellular attract and retain talented leaders in positions of critical importance to the success of U.S. Cellular. Eligible participants in the 2015 Incentive Plan are all executive officers of U.S. Cellular, which are defined in the 2015 Incentive Plan as all executive vice presidents and the senior vice president – chief human resources officer.

The following performance measures will be considered for the purposes of the 2015 Incentive Plan:

Company Performance Component Weighting Overall Plan Weighting
Consolidated Total Revenues 40% 24%
Consolidated Adjusted
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization 35% 21%
Consolidated Capital
Expenditures 25% 15%
Company Performance 60%
Chairman Assessment on
Strategic Initiatives 10%
Individual Performance 30%

It is anticipated that bonuses for 2015 will be paid on or after January 1, 2016 but no later than March 15, 2016. No bonus is due unless an executive officer remains employed through the bonus payout date except that an executive officer who separates due to retirement or death is eligible for a pro-rated bonus. In addition, the President and CEO may approve a bonus, or a pro-rated bonus, for an executive officer who is not employed through the bonus payout date.

Any compensation earned or paid pursuant to the 2015 Incentive Plan is subject to forfeiture, recovery by U.S. Cellular, or other action pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which U.S. Cellular may adopt from time to time, including without limitation any such policy which U.S. Cellular may be required to adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law.

The foregoing description of the 2015 Incentive Plan is not purported to be complete with respect to the material terms of such plan and is qualified by reference to the complete 2015 Incentive Plan for the material terms of such plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
