As previously disclosed, on August 17, 2010, United States Cellular Corporation (U.S. Cellular) and Amdocs Software Systems Limited (Amdocs) entered into a Software License and Maintenance Agreement and a Master Service Agreement, and subsequently a Master Statement of Work for Managed Services and certain other documents on November 25, 2014 (collectively, the Original Amdocs Agreements) to develop and support a Billing and Operational Support System (B/OSS). Under these agreements, U.S. Cellular implemented and has been using the B/OSS since July 2013 pursuant to a license from Amdocs.

On September 27, 2019, U.S. Cellular executed a new Master Service Agreement, Master Statement of Work for Managed Services and certain other documents with Amdocs Tethys Limited (the New Amdocs Agreements), effective October 1, 2019, that continue the relationship established with Amdocs under the Original Amdocs Agreements. U.S. Cellular will continue using the B/OSS and certain support functions offered by Amdocs Tethys Limited. The committed, non-cancellable amount to be paid to Amdocs Tethys Limited with respect to the New Amdocs Agreements is $241 million over five years. After the initial five year term, there are renewal periods at U.S. Cellular's option.
