On April 2, 2007, The American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") granted Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. ("TDS") an extension to regain compliance with AMEX listing standards until May 18, 2007. As previously disclosed, on March 19, 2007, TDS received a notice from the staff of the AMEX indicating that TDS was not in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the AMEX Company Guide as a result of the failure to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 on a timely basis. Pursuant to such letter, on March 23, 2006, TDS submitted a plan to the AMEX to bring it into compliance with the AMEX Company Guide by no later than May 18, 2007. On April 2, 2007, TDS received a letter from the AMEX stating that the AMEX has approved such plan and that the listing of the TDS Common Shares and TDS Special Common Shares will continue pursuant to an extension until May 18, 2007. On April 4, 2007, TDS issued a joint press release, together with its subsidiary, United States Cellular Corporation, disclosing that the AMEX granted TDS an extension to regain compliance with the AMEX listing standards until May 18, 2007. A copy of such press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. Item 9.01.
