On September 3, 2008, United States Cellular Corporation (“U.S. Cellular”) notified the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and issued a press release announcing its intention to delist its Common Shares from the AMEX and to list such shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).  The Common Shares would continue to trade under the symbol “USM”.  The NYSE agreed to purchase the AMEX earlier this year and, as a result, U.S. Cellular determined to list its shares on the NYSE.  U.S. Cellular has requested that trading in its Common Shares on the AMEX be suspended before the market opens on September 15, 2008 and expects trading on the NYSE to begin at the market open on September 15, 2008. U.S. Cellular anticipates that it will file the required Form 25 and an amendment to its Form 8-A with the SEC on September 15, 2008 to effect such delisting and listing.

 

A copy of the press release issued September 3, 2008 is included herein as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
