Item 8.01.  Other Events

As previously disclosed, on November 6, 2012, United States Cellular Corporation (“U.S. Cellular”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with subsidiaries of Sprint Nextel Corporation (“Sprint”).  The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that U.S. Cellular will transfer customers and certain PCS license spectrum to Sprint in U.S. Cellular's Chicago, central Illinois, St. Louis and certain Indiana/Michigan/Ohio markets (“Divestiture Markets”) in consideration for $480 million in cash at closing, subject to pro-rations of certain assets and liabilities. The Purchase and Sale Agreement also contemplates certain other agreements, collectively with the Purchase and Sale Agreement referred to as the “Divestiture Transaction.”  The transaction was approved by the FCC in March 2013 and the closing is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2013.  This transaction was reported on a Form 8-K dated November 6, 2012, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Also, as previously disclosed, on April 3, 2013, U.S. Cellular entered into an agreement relating to the Partnerships (as defined below) with Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon Wireless”).  U.S. Cellular holds a 60.00% interest in St. Lawrence Seaway RSA Cellular Partnership (“NY1”) and a 57.14% interest in New York RSA 2 Cellular Partnership (“NY2” and, together with NY1, the “Partnerships”).  The remaining interests are held by Verizon Wireless.  The Partnerships are operated by Verizon Wireless under the Verizon Wireless brand.  Because U.S. Cellular owns a greater than 50% interest in each of these markets and based on U.S. Cellular’s rights under the Partnership Agreements, prior to April 3, 2013, U.S. Cellular consolidated the financial results of these markets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The agreement amends the Partnership Agreements in several ways, which provide Verizon Wireless with substantive participating rights that allow Verizon Wireless to make decisions that are in the ordinary course of business of the Partnerships and which are significant to directing and executing the activities of the business.   Accordingly, as required by GAAP, effective April 3, 2013, U.S. Cellular will deconsolidate the Partnerships and thereafter will report them as equity method investments in its consolidated financial statements (the “Deconsolidation”).

The purpose of this Form 8-K is to file unaudited pro forma financial information for U.S. Cellular as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012 that gives effect to the Divestiture Transaction and the Deconsolidation.

U.S. Cellular previously filed a Form 8-K dated April 3, 2013 with pro forma financial information relating to the Deconsolidation as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is incorporated by reference herein.  This Form 8-K updates that information and also adds the Divestiture Transaction to the pro forma financial information.
