Item 8.01. Other Events.
Subsequent to the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (“TDS”) determined that the amounts reported for postpaid average revenue per user (“Postpaid ARPU”) were incorrectly stated for 2011 and 2010 in the table of summarized operating data for U.S. Cellular's consolidated operations on page 16 of Exhibit 13 to such Form 10-K. The corrected information is set forth below. While TDS does not believe these errors are material, it determined that disclosure of the corrected Postpaid ARPU amounts in this Form 8-K would be appropriate so that shareholders and investors would have accurate information.
TDS reported U.S. Cellular Postpaid ARPU of $54.00 and $51.21 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively in its Form 10-K. The correct Postpaid ARPU amounts were $52.20 and $50.77 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
