CHICAGO , July 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- United States Cellular Corporation (NYSE: USM) and Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (NYSE: TDS) announce that the Federal Communications Commission issued an order today approving our transaction with T-Mobile US, Inc. We look forward to closing the transaction upon satisfaction of all closing conditions. A bout UScellular United States Cellular Corporation provides a comprehensive range of wireless products and services, excellent customer support, and a high-quality network to customers with 4.4 million retail connections in 21 states.

CHICAGO , July 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- United States Cellular Corporation (NYSE: USM) and Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (NYSE: TDS) report that the US Department of Justice Antitrust Division announced yesterday that it has closed its investigation into the proposed transaction with T-Mobile. The transaction remains subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and we continue to work with the FCC as they complete their independent assessment.

Disruption at the FCC has delayed T-Mobile's acquisition of US Cellular's wireless operation, with closure now likely in August or September 2025 after a new commissioner is sworn in. I remain bullish on TDS preferreds, especially Series VV, due to their steep discount to liquidation value and attractive 8.45% yield on cost. The USM sale will reduce TDS's debt and boost its cash position, serving as a catalyst for the preferreds and transforming the company's balance sheet.

USM reports a top-line contraction year over year in the first quarter of 2025, owing to weak demand for postpaid and prepaid connections.
