11.  PENDING SALE OF U.S. RETAIL WIRELESS BUSINESS

On January 21, 2013, the Company and a subsidiary entered into a Purchase Agreement with AT&T Mobility LLC (“AT&T”) to sell certain of the wireless assets used in the Company’s Alltel business (the “Alltel Sale”). Under the terms of the agreement, AT&T will purchase the operations in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $780 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Alltel business constituted approximately $108.0 million, or 62%, of the Company’s consolidated revenues and $4.2 million, or 24%, of the Company’s consolidated operating income. Although the consummation of the Alltel Sale is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the Federal Communications Commission, the required waiting period under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 has expired and the Company anticipates completing the transaction in the second half of 2013. Since the Company’s application for FCC approval is still pending, the Company has reported the Alltel results in continuing operations.
