Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On August 14, 2018, the Board of Directors of United States Cellular Corporation (“U.S. Cellular”) amended Section 3.6 of U.S. Cellular’s Restated Bylaws as follows:
Section 3.6. President. The President shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation and shall in general supervise and control all of the business and affairs of the Corporation and supervise the duties assigned to the officers of the Corporation, including the Treasurer, the Chief Accounting Officer, and the Secretary, but not including the Chairman. The President may execute, alone or with the Secretary or any other officer of the Corporation authorized by the Board of Directors, any deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts or other instruments which the Board of Directors or an authorized committee thereof has authorized to be executed, except in cases where the execution thereof shall be expressly delegated by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or by these Bylaws to some other officer or agent of the Corporation, or shall be required by law to be otherwise executed. The President also shall in general perform all duties incident to the office of President and such other duties as from time to time may be prescribed by the Board of Directors or by the Chairman. In the event of the absence of the President or in the event of his or her inability or refusal to act as President for a continuous period of three months or in the event of his earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification (a “permanent absence”), the Chairman shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the Board of Directors or otherwise, succeed to and perform the duties of the President and, when so acting, shall have all the powers of and be subject to all the restrictions placed upon the President set forth in this Section 3.6. In the event of the permanent absence of both such persons, the vacancy in the position of President shall be filled with a person who is selected by the Board of Directors.
A copy of the full Restated Bylaws, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and will be posted to the U.S. Cellular website at www.uscellluar.com under Investor Relations - Corporate Governance.
