"Listing on the New York Stock Exchange is a significant milestone for our companies," said TDS President and CEO and U.S. Cellular Chairman LeRoy T. Carlson, Jr. "We believe that this transition will enable us to better serve our investors, and will provide increased visibility for our stocks. The NYSE has made significant investments in technology, which we believe will provide the best possible liquidity and the highest-quality market for our stocks."
"I want to thank the American Stock Exchange for supporting both TDS and U.S. Cellular since their initial public offerings," added Carlson. "The AMEX has been a tremendous partner to our companies for many years, as TDS and U.S. Cellular have grown into multi-billion dollar enterprises."
"We look forward to welcoming Telephone and Data Systems and U.S. Cellular to our family of listed companies and to providing both companies and their respective shareholders with the superior market quality and brand visibility associated with listing on NYSE Euronext markets," said NYSE Euronext Group Executive Vice President and Head of Global Listings, Catherine R. Kinney.
