Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On April 20, 2005, the TDS Long-Term Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the TDS stock option agreements entered into prior to March of 2005 to provide for continued vesting upon transfer of employment by a holder of the options to an affiliate of TDS not participating in the TDS Long-Term Incentive Plan. Previously, upon transfer to such an affiliate, all unvested options as of the date of the transfer were forfeited. This change conforms such terms in stock option agreements entered into prior to March of 2005 to the terms that have been adopted in the form of the TDS Corporate Officer 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan Stock Option Award Agreement, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein from Exhibit 10.1 in TDS' Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 4, 2005. Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits (c) Exhibits: In
accordance with the provisions of Item 601 of Regulation S-K, any Exhibits filed herewith
