It is anticipated that bonuses for 2016 will be paid on or after January 1, 2017 but no later than March 15, 2017 (the “bonus payout date”). However, in the event of a payout
in connection with retirement or death, the bonus will be paid as soon as administratively possible following such retirement or death, but no later than the bonus payout date.
No bonus is due unless an executive officer remains employed through the bonu
s payout date except that an executive officer who separates due to retirement or death is eligible for a pro-rated bonus. In addition, the President and CEO may approve a bonus, or a pro-rated bonus, for an executive officer who is not employed through t
he bonus payout date.
Any compensation earned or paid pursuant to the 2016 Incentive Plan is subject to forfeiture, recovery by U.S. Cellular, or other action pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which U.S. Cellular may adopt from time to time, in
cluding without limitation any such policy which U.S. Cellular may be required to adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or
as otherwise required by law.
The foregoing de
scription of the 2016 Incentive Plan is not purported to be complete with respect to the material terms of such plan and is qualified by reference to the complete 2016 Incentive Plan for the material terms of such plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1
