Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Shares acquired pursuant to a compensation plant for non-employee directors. Reporting person was a non-employee director through January 31, 2025.
F2 Restricted stock units awarded pursuant to the 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan. One-third of the restricted stock units will vest on the first, second and third annual anniversaries of the Grant Date.
F3 On May 21, 2025, the reporting person was granted financial-based performance share units based on the performance of three key metrics. One of the three performance metrics, representing 32% of the total award, is based on UScellular performance and has a 75% floor, which can be increased to 100% if the announced UScellular transaction with T-Mobile closes in 2025. Accordingly, this Form 4 reports the number of performance share units issuable under the 75% floor, which is 24% of the target award. Another Form 4 would be filed to reflect an increase in the floor to the extent the UScellular transaction with T-Mobile closes in 2025. Performance share units accumulate dividend equivalents (in the form of additional performance share units) which are forfeitable if the performance metrics are not achieved.
