Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On November 14, 2000, the Issuer, Price Communications Cellular Inc., a Delaware corporation, Price Communications Cellular Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Price Communications Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Price Wireless", and the foregoing collectively the "Price Corporations"), Verizon Wireless, Cellco Partnership, a Delaware general partnership ("Cellco"), and VWI Acquisition Corporation, a newly-formed Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon Wireless entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement").  Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Price Wireless will transfer its business of constructing, developing, managing and operating cellular telephone systems to Cellco, in exchange for a partnership interest in Cellco and Verizon Wireless will acquire Price Wireless in exchange for Class A common stock, $.001 par value, of Verizon Wireless ("Verizon Wireless Shares").  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement is subject to the completion of an initial public offering of Verizon Wireless Shares prior to September 30, 2001 and other customary conditions, including regulatory approvals and the approval by the stockholders of the Issuer.

As an inducement to Verizon Wireless entering into the Transaction Agreement, the Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreement with Verizon Wireless described in Item 6 below.

(a) As a result of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to beneficially own 6,582,989 Shares, representing, for the purposes of Rule 13d-3, approximately 11.9% of the fully-diluted outstanding shares of voting stock of the Issuer.  Each of Verizon and Verizon Wireless, however, hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares, and this statement shall not be construed as an admission that either Verizon or Verizon Wireless is, for any or all purposes, the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B hereto owns beneficially any Shares.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed in certain circumstances as more fully described in Item 6 to have the shared power with the Stockholders to vote 6,582,989 Shares.  However, the Reporting Persons (i) are not entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Company as to the Shares that are subject to the Voting Agreement and (ii) disclaim any beneficial ownership of the Shares which are covered by the Voting Agreement. The information required by Item 2 relating to the Stockholders is set forth on Schedule C.

 (c) Except for the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreement and Transaction Agreement, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B hereto has effected any transaction in the Shares during the past 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Stockholders have agreed to vote all Shares that such Stockholders are entitled to vote at the time of any vote to approve and adopt the Transaction Agreement and all transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement at any meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer, and at any adjournment thereof, at which such Transaction Agreement and other related agreements (or any amended version thereof), or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, are submitted for consideration and vote of the stockholders of the Issuer.  The Stockholders have also agreed that they will not vote any Shares in favor of (other than an Alternative Agreement (as defined below) entered into in accordance with the Transaction Agreement and matters relating to, or in connection with the Alternative Agreement) the approval of any (i) Acquisition Proposal (as defined below), (ii) action or set of actions which, if consummated, would constitute a change of control, (iii) reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation or winding up of the Issuer or any other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, (iv) corporate action the consummation of which would frustrate the purposes, or prevent or delay the consummation, of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or (v) other matters relating to, or in connection with, any of the foregoing matters.
Each Stockholder has granted an irrevocable proxy to Verizon Wireless, appointing Verizon Wireless as such Stockholder's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in such Stockholders name, to vote, express consent or dissent, or otherwise use such voting power as provided above with respect to all the Shares of such Stockholder.

Each Stockholder has also further agreed that they will not, without the prior written consent of Verizon Wireless, directly or indirectly (other than pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement and except that Kim Pressman is permitted to transfer up to 3,000 Shares of the Issuer in bona fide gifts), (i) grant any proxies or enter into any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of any of their Shares (other than the proxy granted to Verizon Wireless) or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of, any Shares during the term of the Voting Agreement.  Each Stockholder has also agreed that they will not seek or solicit any such acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition or any such contract, option or other arrangement.

Each Stockholder has agreed that each of the Price Corporations will not, and will not permit their officers, directors, affiliates, related entities, agents or representatives (other than as permitted by the Transaction Agreement) to (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, conduct or engage in any substantive discussions, or enter into any agreement or understanding with any other person or entity regarding (a) the transfer, directly or indirectly, of any of the capital stock of any of the Price Corporations, any material portion of the assets of any of the Price Corporations or the business of Price Wireless which would reasonably anticipated in the case of the Issuer to result in a change of control, (b) any investment by any other person or entity in capital stock of any of the Price Corporations or the business of Price Wireless (other than in the case of Price Communications Corporation, such investments which will not, or are reasonably likely not to constitute a change of control), or (c) any joint venture relating to the business of Price Wireless or other similar transaction involving any of the Price Corporations or the business of Price Wireless; or (ii) disclose any nonpublic information relating to any of the Price Corporations or the business of Price Wireless, or afford access to the properties, books or records of any of the Price Corporations that relate, in whole or in part, to the business of Price Wireless, to any other person or entity that may be considering acquiring or has acquired an interest in any of the Price Corporations or the business of Price Wireless or engaging in any transaction of the type described in clause (i) above. 

"Acquisition Proposal" means, other than the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, any offer or proposal for, any indication of interest in, or any submission of inquiries from any third party relating to (A) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries or over 20% of any class of equity or voting securities of the Issuer, any Price Corporation or over 20% of any class of equity or voting securities of any one or more of Price Wireless' subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 20% of the consolidated assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, (B) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party's beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Issuer, any Price Corporation or over 20% of any class of equity or voting securities of any one or more Price Wireless' subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 20% of the consolidated assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, or (C) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale of substantially all the assets, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Issuer, any Price Corporation or over 20% of any class of equity or voting securities of any one or more Price Wireless' subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 20% of the consolidated assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the acquisition by any institutional investor of any securities of the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in connection with its investment operations in the ordinary course of business shall not constitute an "Acquisition Proposal" if (I) such investor and its affiliates do not at any time beneficially own voting securities of the Issuer representing more than 30% of the total voting power of all outstanding voting securities of the Issuer and (II) such activities are for investment purposes only and are not, alone or in concert with others, in connection with any plan, arrangement, understanding, proposal, or intention to influence, or affect control over the management, board of directors or policies of the Issuer, provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to exist if at any time such investor or its affiliates shall fail to, or no longer, comply with (I) or (II) of the foregoing.

"Alternative Agreement" means, a binding written agreement concerning an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal.

"Superior Proposal" means any bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal on terms that the Board of Directors of the Issuer determines in good faith by a majority vote, on the basis of the advice of a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation, are more favorable and provide greater value to all the Issuer's shareholders than as provided under the Transaction Agreement and for which financing, to the extent required, is then either fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Board of Directors of the Issuer; provided that, notwithstanding the fact that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement do not contemplate the distribution of consideration to the Issuer's shareholders, for purposes of determining whether an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement shall be deemed to have an aggregate value of at least $2,060 million to such shareholders, assuming they were consummated.

The Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
