Disclosure Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements

  

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, regarding, among other things, our business strategy, our
prospects and our financial position.  These statements can be identified by the use
of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,”
“may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” or “anticipates” or the negative or other variation of
these similar words, or by discussions of strategy or risks and uncertainties.  These
statements are based on current expectations of future events. If underlying
assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual
results could vary materially from the Company’s expectations and projections.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking statements  include, without limitation, risks related to the following:

          - increasing competition in the communications industry; and

          - a complex and uncertain regulatory environment.

A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be
found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007. Copies of this Form 10-K, as well as subsequent filings, are
available online at www.sec.gov, www.shentel.com or on request from the Company.
The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements as a
result of new information or future events or developments.
