Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
Executive Overview
On August 1, 2025, United States Cellular Corporation changed its name to Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. (Array). Array is used throughout this report even when referring to historical periods. On August 12, 2025, the Array Common Shares ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange changed to "AD". The following discussion and analysis compares Array's financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. It should be read in conjunction with Array's interim consolidated financial statements and notes included herein, and with the description of Array's business, its audited consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) included in Array's Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain numbers included herein are rounded to thousands or millions for ease of presentation; however, certain calculated amounts and percentages are determined using the unrounded numbers.
This report contains statements that are not based on historical facts, which may be identified by words such as "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "intends," "projects," "will" and similar expressions. These statements constitute and represent "forward looking statements" as this term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, events or developments to be significantly different from any future results, events or developments expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. See the disclosure under the heading Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement elsewhere in this report for additional information.
The accounting policies of Array conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). However, Array uses certain "non-GAAP financial measures" in the MD&A and the business segment information. A discussion of the reasons Array determines these metrics to be useful and reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable measures determined in accordance with GAAP are included in the disclosure under the heading Supplemental Information Relating to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within the MD&A of this report.
Overview
Array connects America through digital infrastructure by leasing tower space to tenants and providing ancillary services. Array also holds noncontrolling interests in primarily wireless operating companies and holds certain wireless spectrum licenses. As of September 30, 2025, Array is an82.0%-owned subsidiary of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (TDS). Through July 31, 2025, Array provided wireless communication services; these operations and certain wireless spectrum licenses were disposed of on August 1, 2025, as discussed further below.
Towers
Array seeks to grow tower revenue primarily through increasing colocations on existing towers and amendments to existing colocations. Array seeks to provide unique tower locations, attractive terms and streamlined implementation to wireless network operators, internet service providers, government and public safety agencies, broadcast and media companies, and other businesses. As of September 30, 2025, Array owns 4,449towers in 19 U.S. states.
Noncontrolling interest investments
Array holds noncontrolling interests in primarily wireless operating companies that generate material amounts of income and cash distributions. These entities primarily consist of wireless entities managed by Verizon and AT&T. The noncontrolling wireless entities managed by Array also sold their wireless operations to T-Mobile in separate transactions on August 1, 2025, coterminous with the sale of Array's consolidated wireless operations sold to T-Mobile on the same date. Going forward, these noncontrolling entities that are managed by Array consist primarily of tower operations.
Retained spectrum
Array holds wireless spectrum that is subject to sale agreements described below, and additional wireless spectrum not subject to pending sale agreements that Array seeks to opportunistically monetize. As of September 30, 2025, the book value of the remaining spectrum not subject to pending sale agreements was $1,591.2 million and includes primarily C-Band spectrum. Array incurred costs related to the management of the retained spectrum of $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Strategic Alternatives Review
In August 2023, TDS and Array announced that the Boards of Directors of both companies decided to initiate a process to explore a range of strategic alternatives for Array. On August 1, 2025, Array sold its wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile US, Inc. (T-Mobile) under a Securities Purchase Agreement (Securities Purchase Agreement).Total consideration received was $4,293.8 million after adjustments which included a combination of $2,628.8 million in cash proceeds and $1,665.0 million in debt assumed by T-Mobile through the preliminary results of an exchange offer made to Array's debtholders, which subsequently closed on August 5, 2025. Certain of these amounts are subject to final adjustment approximately 180 days after the closing date. As of September 30, 2025, Array recorded an estimated purchase price true-up due to T-Mobile of $20.2 million. At closing, Array and T-Mobile entered into a Short-Term Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement and Short-Term Spectrum Manager Sublease Agreements which provide T-Mobile with an exclusive license to use certain Array spectrum assets and leases at no cost for up to one-year for the sole purpose of providing continued, uninterrupted service to customers. In addition, at closing, Array and T-Mobile entered into a Master License Agreement (MLA), pursuant to which, among other things, T-Mobile has agreed to license from Array space on towers owned by Array. The wireless operations and select spectrum assets sold to T-Mobile are presented as discontinued operations throughout this report. See Note 2 -Discontinued Operations in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In addition to the sale of Array's wireless operations and select spectrum assets sold to T-Mobile pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Array also separately entered into the following agreements to sell spectrum license assets.

1 These license transactions are subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, and in the case of the sale to Verizon, the termination of the T-Mobile Short-Term Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement. The timing of regulatory approval may be impacted by the duration of the ongoing shutdown of the U.S. federal government. See Note 6 - Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The strategic alternatives review process is ongoing as Array works toward closing the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile spectrum transactions signed during 2024 and 2025, and seeks to opportunistically monetize its remaining spectrum assets that are not subject to executed agreements.
Array incurred third-party expenses related to the announced transactions and strategic alternatives review of $0.5 millionand $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1.3 million and $19.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which are included in Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for continuing operations.

Key components of changes in the statement of operations items were as follows:
Total operating revenues
Tower site rental revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily as a result of the execution of the T-Mobile MLA, pursuant to which T-Mobile leases space on an additional minimum 2,015 Array-owned towers for a minimum of 15 years and leases space on approximately 1,800 Array-owned towers on an interim basis. The duration of the interim lease is 30 months, and T-Mobile may cancel such interim leases at their option on a tower-by-tower basis at any time. We expect T-Mobile to cancel the interim leases prior to the full 30-month duration, and expect revenue to decline correspondingly. Revenue from the interim leases in the three months ended September 30, 2025, which represents two months of revenue from the August 1, 2025 MLA commencement date, was $5.4 million. Further, the MLA extends the license term for approximately 600 existing T-Mobile colocations on Array towers for a new 15-year term commencing on August 1, 2025.
Site rental revenues from Echostar Communications could be negatively impacted in future periods; see Risk Factors in this report for additional information.
Array fully insourced sales and leasing operations in early 2025, and as a result of this change, began retaining application and related fees in 2025. Prior to this operational change, a large majority of these fees were retained by the outsourced provider as a component of their compensation.
Cost of operations
Cost of operations increased in the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in cell site ground rent, partially attributable to a discrete ground rent benefit recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Cost of operations increased both due to cell site ground rent increases related to annual escalators and additional sites, and increased cell site maintenance expenses.
Selling, general and administrative
SG&A expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, due primarily to decreases in various general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in bad debts expense. Array estimates that approximately 40% of SG&A expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2025 include costs to support the following activities: wireless operations prior to divestiture that are not reflected as discontinued operations, wireless operations winddown costs incurred after the August 1, 2025 close date, administrative expenses associated with managing spectrum assets, and expenses associated with the ongoing strategic alternatives review. Array expects legacy wireless operations winddown expenses to persist at third quarter of 2025 levels into the first half of 2026, and while some winddown expenses will remain after that time (e.g., legal matters, taxes), Array expects such winddown expenses to begin declining in the second half of 2026.
Loss on impairment of licenses
Loss on impairment of licenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to decreases in the amount of impairments recorded on wireless spectrum licenses. See Note 7 - Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these impairments.

Table of Contents
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities represents Array's share of net income from entities in which it has a noncontrolling interest and that are accounted for using the equity method or the net asset value practical expedient. Array holds noncontrolling interests in three entities in the state of Iowa that sold their wireless operations to T-Mobile in three separate transactions on August 1, 2025, the same date that Array sold its wireless operations to T-Mobile. As a result of the Iowa entities' sale of their wireless operations, these entities recognized a gain on sale, and Array's proportionate share of that gain was included in Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities in the amount of $34.1 million, which was the primary driver of the year-over-year increase in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 8 - Investments in Unconsolidated Entities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Interest and dividend income
Interest and dividend income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on the proceeds from the sale of the wireless operations to T-Mobile.
Interest expense
Interest expense from continuing operations excludes interest costs in all periods associated with term loans repaid, and debt exchanged, in conjunction with the sale of Array's wireless operations to T-Mobile. As a result, the increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the new term loan that Array entered into during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Short-term imputed spectrum lease income
Short-term imputed lease income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to the execution of the Short-Term Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement and Short-Term Spectrum Manager Sublease Agreements, which provide T-Mobile with an exclusive license to use certain Array spectrum assets and leases at no cost for up to one year. The portion of the purchase price allocated to the use of this spectrum will be amortized over one year.
Income tax expense (benefit)
Income tax benefit on continuing operations increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, due primarily to favorable reductions to valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets that are now likely to be realized by the taxable income generated from the sale of wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile, and/or the pending License Purchase Agreements currently classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2025. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the deferred tax benefit on the impairment of certain wireless spectrum licenses, which was smaller in the third quarter of 2025 than the impairment recorded in the third quarter of 2024.
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Array shareholders
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of the sale of the wireless operations on August 1, 2025 and the corresponding loss on sale recognized on that date. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the components of Net income (loss) from discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Array believes that existing cash and investment balances, distributions from unconsolidated entities, expected cash flows from operating activities, expected and potential dispositions of licensed spectrum assets and funds available under its financing agreements will provide sufficient liquidity for Array to meet its day-to-day operating needs and debt service requirements. Array may require additional funding for, among other uses, capital expenditures, repurchases of shares, or making additional investments including acquisition of land, land easements or additional towers. It may be necessary from time to time to increase the size of its existing credit facilities, to amend existing or put in place new credit agreements, to obtain other forms of financing, issue equity securities, or to divest assets in order to fund potential expenditures. Array will continue to monitor the business and market conditions and take appropriate actions, as necessary, to meet its liquidity needs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market funds that purchase only debt issued by the U.S. Treasury or U.S. government agencies. The primary objective of Array's Cash and cash equivalents investment activities is to preserve principal. Array's Cash and cash equivalents were $325.6 million and $143.7 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Array expects a cash income tax liability on the T-Mobile transaction of between $250.0 million and $300.0 million, most of which will be paid during the three months ending December 31, 2025, pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement which provides that Array remits income tax payments to TDS consistent with when such payments would be paid if Array and its subsidiaries were a separate affiliated group. Refer to the Consolidated Cash Flow Analysis for additional information related to changes in Cash and cash equivalents.
Financing
Revolving Credit Agreement
Array has an unsecured revolving credit agreement with a maximum borrowing capacity of $300.0 million. Amounts under the agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until maturity. In April 2025, Array amended the revolving credit agreement to extend the maturity date to July 2027 and allow for permitted dispositions, as specified in the amendment. The amendment also included a provision that was triggered upon the sale of the Array wireless operations to T-Mobile, which occurred on August 1, 2025, which accelerated the maturity date to April 2026. Additionally, the amendment to the revolving credit agreement included a provision that will be triggered upon Array receiving net proceeds from the cumulative sale of wireless spectrum licenses to AT&T, Verizon and other parties that equals or exceeds $500.0 million, which provision will automatically reduce the maximum borrowing capacity of the revolving credit agreement from $300.0 million to $150.0 million five business days after Array's receipt of such net proceeds. As of September 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the agreement, except for letters of credit, and Array's unused borrowing capacity was $299.9 million.
Term Loan Agreements
In August 2025, Array repaid the entire outstanding borrowings under its term loan agreements of $713.3 million.
In August 2025, Array borrowed $325.0 million under a term loan agreement with CoBank, ACB. The maturity date of the term loan is June 2030. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 2.50%.
Export Credit Financing Agreement
In August 2025,Array repaid the entire outstanding borrowings under its term loan agreement with Export Development Canada of $150.0 million.
Receivables Securitization Agreement
Array, through its subsidiaries, had a receivables securitization agreement that permitted securitized borrowings using its equipment installment plan receivables. In May 2025, Array repaid the entire outstanding borrowings under the agreement of $2.0 million. In July 2025, Array terminated the receivables securitization agreement.
Debt Covenants
The revolving credit agreement and term loan agreement with CoBank require Array to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, which include certain financial covenants that may restrict the borrowing capacity available. Following the sale of the Array wireless operations to T-Mobile, Array is required to maintain the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, based on net debt, as of the end of any fiscal quarter from and including the quarter in which such sale occurs at a level not to exceed 3.50 to 1.00. Array is also required to maintain the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio at a level not lower than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. Array believes that it was in compliance as of September 30, 2025 with all such financial covenants.

Other Long-Term Debt
The T-Mobile transaction to sell the wireless operations and select spectrum assets included a debt exchange offer whereby debt issued by Array could be exchanged for debt issued by T-Mobile, which reduced the cash portion of the purchase price. The debt exchange offering closed on August 5, 2025 and resulted in the exchange of $1,680.1 million of long-term debt comprised of the following Array notes: $488.9 million of 6.7% Senior Notes, $394.2 million of 6.25% Senior Notes, $401.5 million of 5.5% March 2070 Senior Notes and $395.5 million of 5.5% June 2070 Senior Notes. As a result, on August 5, 2025, after the debt exchange, Array retained $363.9 million of senior notes, consisting of $55.1 million of 6.7% Senior Notes, $105.8 million of 6.25% Senior Notes, $98.5 million of 5.5% March 2070 Senior Notes, and $104.5 million of 5.5% June 2070 Senior Notes. The write-off of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs related to the exchanged debt of $47.7 million was recorded to (Gain) loss on sale of business and other exit costs, net within discontinued operations during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
See Note 10 - Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to financing activities.
Credit Ratings
On August 1, 2025, Standard & Poor's updated the Array issuer credit rating from BB to BBB- with a stable outlook. On August 8, 2025, Moody's confirmed the Array Ba1 issuer credit rating and changed the outlook to stable. On September 2, 2025, Fitch Ratings confirmed the Array BB+ issuer credit rating and changed the outlook to stable.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for continuing operations (i.e., additions to property, plant and equipment), which include the effects of accruals and capitalized interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were $17.0 million and $11.6 million, respectively.
Capital expenditures were used principally for tower maintenance, purchases of land interests and tower builds.
Divestitures
See Note 6 - Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to divestitures.
Other Obligations
Array will require capital for future spending on existing contractual obligations, which primarily include long-term debt obligations and ground lease commitments.
Common Share Repurchase Program
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Array repurchased 328,835 Common Shares for $20.9 million at an average cost per share of $63.49. As of September 30, 2025, the total cumulative amount of Array Common Shares authorized to be repurchased is 658,107. For additional information related to the current repurchase authorization, see Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Dividends
Array has not paid any regular cash dividends in recent periods. In conjunction with the close of the transaction of the sale of Array's wireless operations to T-Mobile on August 1, 2025, on this same date, the Array Board of Directors declared a special dividend per Common and Series A outstanding share of $23.00 for shareholders of record on August 11, 2025, which was paid on August 19, 2025. Array expects its pending sales of spectrum licenses to AT&T and Verizon, which are subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, to deliver substantial proceeds and expects its Board of Directors to declare special dividends upon closure of these transactions. The Array Board of Directors may declare regular cash dividends after the close of these transactions.

Consolidated Cash Flow Analysis
The following discussion summarizes Array's cash flow activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Cash flows may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year due to timing and other factors. This discussion is intended to highlight the significant changes and is not intended to fully reconcile the changes.
2025 Commentary
Array's Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased $166.5 million. Net cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations was $22.5 million due to net income of $130.5 adjusted for non-cash items of $147.0 million and distributions received from unconsolidated entities of $149.7 million. Distributions from noncontrolling wireless entities managed by Array included a special distribution of $42.5 million related to the proceeds received by three entities in the state of Iowa that sold their wireless operations to T-Mobile on August 1, 2025. In addition, distributions from certain equity method investments operated by Verizon included a special distribution of $25.3 million related to proceeds received by Verizon managed entities related to Verizon's tower transaction with Vertical Bridge that closed in December 2024. This was partially offset by lower current year distributions due to adjustments made by certain equity method investees for prior period activity. The changes in working capital items which decreased net cash by $110.8 million were primarily driven by payment of associate bonuses and deferred revenue related to spectrum leases, partially offset by the the timing of vendor payments. Net cash provided by operating activities related to discontinued operations were $380.4 million.
Cash flows used for investing activities related to continuing operations were $16.0 million, due primarily to payments for property, plant and equipment of $18.6 million. Cash flows used for investing activities related to discontinued operations were $2,462.4 million.
Cash flows used for financing activities related to continuing operations were $2,662.2 million, due primarily to dividends paid to Array shareholders of $1,986.7 million, repayments on long-term debt agreements of $875.3 million, tax payments, net of cash receipts, for stock-based compensation awards of $63.5 million due to awards that accelerated upon change in control and associate terminations, distributions to noncontrolling interest of $26.8 million due to the sale of the wireless operations to T-Mobile and repurchases of $21.4 million in Common Shares. These were partially offset by $325.0 million borrowed under the CoBank term loan agreement. Cash flows used for financing activities related to discontinued operations were $20.5 million.
2024 Commentary
Array's Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased $108.4 million. Net cash used in operating activities related to continuing operations was $19.5 million due to net loss of $92.3 million adjusted for non-cash items of $18.2 million, distributions received from unconsolidated entities of $106.5 million and changes in working capital items which decreased net cash by $51.9 million. The working capital changes were primarily driven by the timing of vendor payments and changes in other assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities related to discontinued operations were $781.0 million.
Cash flows used for investing activities related to continuing operations were $29.9 million, due primarily to cash paid for licenses of $16.6 million and payments for property, plant and equipment of $13.4 million. Cash flows used for investing activities related to discontinued operations were $385.1 million.
Cash flows used for financing activities related to continuing operations were $206.5 million, due primarily to $188.0 million in repayments on the receivables securitization agreement, the repurchase of Common Shares of $25.6 million and tax payments, net of cash receipts, for stock-based compensation awards of $11.5 million. These were partially offset by a borrowing of $40.0 million on the receivables securitization agreement. Cash flows used for financing activities related to discontinued operations were $31.6 million.

Supplemental Information Relating to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Array sometimes uses information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in its financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP to evaluate the performance of its business. Specifically, Array has referred to the following measures in this report:
▪EBITDA
▪Adjusted EBITDA
▪Adjusted OIBDA
These measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rules. Following are explanations of each of these measures.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are defined as Net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for the items set forth in the reconciliation below. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to Net income (loss) from continuing operations or Cash flows from operating activities - continuing operations, as indicators of cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Array does not intend to imply that any such items set forth in the reconciliation below are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual; such items may occur in the future.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA as measurements of profitability, and therefore reconciliations to applicable GAAP income measures are deemed appropriate. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are useful measures of Array's operating results before significant recurring non-cash charges, nonrecurring expenses, gains and losses, and other items as presented below as it provides additional relevant and useful information to investors and other users of Array's financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of its operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance. Adjusted EBITDA shows adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, gains and losses, and expenses related to the strategic alternatives review of Array, while Adjusted OIBDA reduces this measure further to exclude Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities and Interest and dividend income in order to more effectively show the performance of operating activities excluding investment activities. The following tables reconcile EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA to the corresponding GAAP measures, Net income (loss) from continuing operations and/or Operating income (loss).

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Array prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Array's significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 2 - Revenue Recognition and Note 11 - Leases in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Array's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Array's application of critical accounting policies and estimates is discussed in detail in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in Array's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Wireless Spectrum License Impairment
Wireless spectrum licenses are considered to be indefinite-lived assets, and therefore, are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are events or circumstances that cause Array to believe that their carrying values exceed their fair values. Wireless spectrum licenses are tested for impairment at the level of reporting referred to as a unit of accounting.
During the third quarter of 2025, Array continued its efforts to monetize its spectrum assets not subject to pending sale agreements. Based on information obtained through that process, specifically suppressed pricing and decrease in demand for high-band spectrum, Array concluded that there were events and circumstances in the third quarter of 2025 that caused Array to believe the carrying value of one of the units of accounting for remaining spectrum not subject to a pending sale agreement may exceed its respective fair value (i.e., triggering event), and accordingly a quantitative impairment assessment was performed for that unit.
A market approach was used for purposes of the quantitative impairment assessment to value the wireless spectrum licenses for the high-band unit of accounting tested, selecting a point within a range of values established largely through industry benchmarks, FCC auction data, and precedent transactions. The fair value of the wireless spectrum licenses was less than the respective carrying value, and a $47.7 million impairment was recorded to Loss on impairment of licenses for continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the third quarter of 2025. The impairment loss was related to the retained high-band spectrum unit of accounting which includes the 28 GHz, 37 GHz and 39 GHz frequency bands, the carrying value of which was $113.4 million as of September 30, 2025 after the impairment loss. The impairment loss is driven by lower fair value attributed to high-band spectrum as a result of industry-wide challenges encountered related to the operationalization of this spectrum.
During the third quarter of 2024, Array concluded that there were events and circumstances that caused Array to believe the carrying values of five units of accounting may exceed their respective fair values (i.e. triggering event), and accordingly a quantitative impairment assessment was performed for those units. There was no triggering event for the other units of accounting.
Based on a market approach valuation, the fair value of the wireless spectrum licenses exceeded their respective carrying values by amounts ranging from 9% to 80% for three of the units of accounting. For two of the units of accounting, the fair value of the wireless spectrum licenses was less than the respective carrying value, and a $136.2 million impairment was recorded to Loss on impairment of licenses for continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the third quarter of 2024. The impairment loss was substantially all related to the retained high-band spectrum unit of accounting which includes the 28 GHz, 37 GHz and 39 GHz frequency bands, the carrying value of which was $161.1 million as of September 30, 2024 after the impairment loss. The impairment loss was driven by a change in the units of accounting described above combined with lower fair value primarily attributed to high-band spectrum as a result of industry-wide challenges encountered related to the operationalization of this spectrum.

Risk Factors
Due to the close of the T-Mobile transaction, the risk factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Array's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been updated as disclosed below. Each of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks described in this Form 10-Q may not be the only risks that could affect Array. Additional unidentified or unrecognized risks and uncertainties could materially adversely affect Array's business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Announced Transactions and Strategic Alternatives Review Risk Factors
1)Closing of the T-Mobile transaction occurred on August 1, 2025, and will require substantial changes to the manner in which Array's remaining business is conducted, which could have a material adverse effect on Array's financial condition and results of operations.
The successful closing of the T-Mobile transaction on August 1, 2025 will require significant changes to the manner in which the Array business is operated. The remaining Array business, which includes the tower business, non-controlling interests in certain wireless operating companies and wireless spectrum licenses, certain of which are subject to other sale agreements, is of a significantly smaller scale than its historical operations. This could produce operational, cost and borrowing disadvantages relative to its historical operations.
Upon receipt of regulatory approval, Array accelerated the recognition of certain cash and non-cash obligations related to employee compensation, severance and stock awards. Additional significant costs that include contingent advisory fees, income tax expense, administrative costs, restructuring expenses and other wind down costs were recorded upon and following the close on August 1, 2025. Significant additional transaction costs related to pending and potential future spectrum sales, ongoing restructuring expenses and wind down costs are expected to be incurred into the foreseeable future as the strategic alternatives process is completed. Additionally, it is uncertain which towers T-Mobile will choose to permanently locate on, and therefore, it is unknown how many and which towers with no tenants will remain in Array's tower portfolio. Array may incur significant decommissioning costs for certain towers that Array elects to retire, and such decommissioning costs are also expected to include remaining obligations under related ground leases for certain towers. These decommissioning costs may have a significant adverse impact on Array's future cash flows and financial results.
At the closing of the T-Mobile transaction, Array and T-Mobile entered into a MLA, pursuant to which, among other things, T-Mobile will lease space on certain additional Array-owned towers for a minimum of 15 years and also commit to 15 year minimum extensions of existing leases for Array-owned towers. As a result, Array's business is substantially dependent upon T-Mobile, and if T-Mobile fails to meet its obligations under these leases to Array, this would have a significant adverse impact on Array's business and financial results.
See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations and Note 6 - Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
2)Array entered into License Purchase Agreements with Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile to sell certain wireless spectrum licenses. There is no guarantee that such transactions contemplated by the License Purchase Agreements will be consummated and, in particular, the impact of the ongoing government shutdown on timing of closing of these transactions is unknown. Costs and uncertainties related to these transactions could have adverse effects on Array's financial condition or results of operations.
On October 17, 2024, Array entered into the Verizon License Purchase Agreement to sell certain AWS, Cellular and PCS wireless spectrum licenses and agreed to grant Verizon certain rights to lease such licenses prior to the transaction close.
On November 6, 2024, Array entered into the AT&T License Purchase Agreement to sell certain 3.45 GHz and 700 MHz wireless spectrum licenses and agreed to grant AT&T certain rights to lease and sub-lease such licenses prior to the transaction close.
On August 29, 2025, Array entered into the T-Mobile License Purchase Agreement to sell certain 700 MHz wireless spectrum licenses and agreed to grant T-Mobile certain rights to lease such licenses prior to the transaction close.
On October 7, 2025, Array entered into the T-Mobile Put/Call License Purchase Agreement to sell certain 600 MHz wireless spectrum licenses.
The Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile spectrum transactions are subject to regulatory approval, which Array may not be able to obtain on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all. In addition, the impact of the ongoing government shutdown on closing timing is uncertain. Similarly, Array may not be able to satisfy the other closing conditions applicable to each of the transactions, which in the case of the Verizon transaction, includes the termination of the T-Mobile Short-Term Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement. If the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile spectrum transactions are not consummated, the funds contemplated to be received as a result of such transactions will not be available for investment in Array's business, repayment of debt, or dividends to Array stockholders, including TDS. Further, Array's stock price likely would decline to the extent that the current market price reflects an assumption that these transactions will be completed. The uncertainty regarding the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile spectrum transactions and the continued efforts to monetize the remaining spectrum assets could result in adverse effects on Array's financial condition or results of operations and volatility in Array's stock price.

Table of Contents
The strategic alternatives review process has already resulted in the incurrence of significant expense primarily related to legal and financial advisors - this is expected to continue. Further, as a result of changes to its spectrum units of accounting, Array recognized significant impairments on its spectrum assets during 2024 and 2025 and further events and circumstances may result in additional impairments for the spectrum that is retained after the close of the sale of the wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile, including the spectrum that is pending sale if such sales do not close as expected.
There can be no assurance that the strategic alternatives review process, which is ongoing, will result in the spectrum transactions with Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile being successfully completed, or the successful monetization of other remaining spectrum, or that these processes or any outcomes of these processes will not have an adverse impact on Array's business or financial statements.
See Note 6 - Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile spectrum transactions.
Operational Risk Factors
3)An inability to monetize the remaining spectrum assets as well as the ongoing costs to retain the spectrum could adversely affect Array's operations.
Array may be unable to find buyers at mutually agreeable prices for its spectrum assets not subject to the pending Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile transactions. Further, the opportunity to monetize the remaining spectrum assets will depend on a variety of factors, including industry data usage, availability of new spectrum through FCC spectrum auctions and the potential disposition of other wireless businesses.
In addition, most of the remaining spectrum licenses not subject to the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile spectrum transactions have FCC build-out requirements that have not yet been fully satisfied. Compliance with such requirements would require significant investments and Array no longer has an existing wireless business to operate the retained spectrum. Additionally, if the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile spectrum transactions are not completed, Array would retain additional wireless spectrum licenses with no wireless business to operate the spectrum. As renewal of all wireless spectrum licenses is predicated upon their initial and continued operation in accordance with FCC requirements, such licenses could be subject to forfeiture if Array does not incur significant costs and expenses to operate the spectrum prior to renewal or engage another carrier to do so. All of these events could have a significant adverse effect on Array's financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
4)Increasing competition in the tower industry could adversely affect Array's revenues, negatively impact future growth and increase its costs to compete.
Competition in the tower industry is robust, as Array competes with public and private tower companies, private equity sponsored tower companies, and owners of non-communications sites such as utility towers, rooftop structures, water towers, and other alternative structures. Many of these competitors are larger than Array, have greater financial and other resources, have more advantageous tower locations than Array, have greater capacity on their towers, and have more scale nationwide than Array. Such factors could result in difficulty in leasing tower space or renewing leases, or cause lease revenue to decline in the future. Specifically, Array could be negatively impacted by the following factors, among others:
•Increased pressure on pricing resulting from increased tenant churn or reduced tenancy rates;
•Low profit margins and returns on investment that are below Array's cost of capital;
•Limited opportunities for strategic partnerships.
5)There are economic and business risks associated with fixed rate annual escalators on colocation revenue contracts.
A majority of Array's ground leases with its ground lessors, and a majority of Array's colocation contracts with its tenants contain fixed rate annual escalation rates. To the extent average ground lease escalation rates exceed average colocation revenue escalation rates, Array's results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition could be adversely impacted.
Further, to the extent future U.S. inflation rates would persist at higher rates for sustained periods of time, revenues and margins in real dollars could erode, and this could have an adverse affect on Array's results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
19
Table of Contents
6)A substantial portion of Array revenues are derived from a small number of tenants concentrated in the wireless industry and the loss or financial difficulties of such tenants may adversely affect Array's business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth. Array will be particularly reliant on its relationship with T-Mobile. Lower demand for wireless services, negative trends in the wireless industry or changes in customer business models may decrease the revenues Array receives from its tenants, which could adversely affect Array's business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth.
A substantial portion of Array revenues are derived from a small number of tenants concentrated in the wireless industry including Verizon, AT&T, Echostar Communications (a/k/a DISH Wireless), and particularly T-Mobile (collectively, large carriers). Array received a letter from DISH Wireless dated in September 2025 claiming that its obligations under its Master Lease Agreement with Array are excused due to actions taken by the FCC and subsequent agreements to sell spectrum assets. Array expects Site rental revenues from DISH Wireless to approximate $7 million for the full year 2025. Further, DISH Wireless is committed to levels of revenue commensurate with 2025, subject to escalators, through 2031, and a declining revenue commitment in 2032-2035. While Array believes that DISH Wireless' claim that its obligation under its Agreement with Array are excused is without merit, Array cannot predict with certainty whether and the degree to which its current or future year revenues will be negatively impacted as a result of this claim. As it relates to the large carriers, a reduction in the demand for tower leasing, reduced capital expenditures or operating expenses on networks, financial difficulties, or other business factors at such large carriers, may adversely affect Array's revenues, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, liquidity and future growth. If the large carriers or other current or potential tenants are unable to raise adequate capital to fund their business plans or encounter capital constraints, they may reduce spending, file for bankruptcy, or consolidate, reduce or terminate operations, which could adversely affect the demand for leasing space on towers and negatively impact both Array's current revenue and cash flows, as well as future growth opportunities. Array's revenues may be adversely affected by negative trends in the wireless industry, changes in the business model of its tenants or reduced demand for its large carriers' services among their end users. Specifically, Array's business, financial condition, revenues, liquidity, results of operations and future growth may be adversely affected by the following factors, among others:
•The overall size and growth rate of Array's tenant base;
•Demand for or usage of wireless services, particularly data services;
•Delays or failures of FCC spectrum auctions and wireless carriers ability to deploy new spectrum;
•Emergence of new technologies that reduce the need for towers;
•Lack of use cases to monetize new 6G technologies that require deploying equipment on towers;
•Consolidation, co-location and/or spectrum sharing by wireless carriers that reduces the need for towers;
•Wireless carriers may change the mix of their network investments away from tower related investments;
•Economic downturn that results in wireless carriers reducing network capital expenditures; and
•Large carriers exercise of pricing power to reduce tower rents.
7)Inability to protect Array's real estate rights, with respect to land leases, could have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition or results of operations.
A significant number of Array's towers are located on land subject to operating leases. For various reasons, landowners may not want to renew their ground agreements with Array, may lose rights to their land, or may transfer their land interests to other parties, including ground lease aggregators, which could adversely affect Array's ability to renew ground agreements, or to renew such ground agreements on commercially viable terms or require Array to renew on terms that are significantly less favorable than those that have historically been in place. Array's inability to protect rights to the land under its towers, or its inability to lease such land on commercially viable terms or if Array needs to accept terms that are significantly less favorable than those that have historically been in place, may have a material adverse effect on Array's business, cash flows, results of operations or financial condition.
8)Array's business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely impacted by extreme weather events, climate-related events, natural disasters, including wildfires, and other unforeseen events.
Array's towers are subject to risks from unforeseen events such as extreme weather events, wildfires or natural disasters (including as a result of any potential effects of climate change), or may collapse for any number of reasons, including structural deficiencies. In the event Array's towers are adversely impacted by an unforeseen event, customers may not be obligated or willing to pay their lease expenses while Array may be required to continue paying related fixed expenses, including expenses for ground leases and other property interests. Any such unforeseen event impacting a material portion of Array's towers could, among other things, interrupt or delay service to Array's tenants, damage or delay deployment of new towers, or could result in legal claims or penalties, reputational damage, negative market perception, or costly response measures, which could adversely affect Array's business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations. Array currently maintains insurance to cover the estimated cost of replacing damaged towers and damage to surrounding property, but there can be no assurance that such coverage will remain readily available in the insurance marketplace or be adequate to cover exposure from such events.

Table of Contents
9)An inability to attract people of outstanding talent throughout all levels of the organization, to develop their potential through education and assignments, and to retain them by keeping them engaged, challenged and properly rewarded could have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Array's ability to sustain and grow its business and execute on its strategy requires Array, in part, to attract, recruit and retain qualified and experienced associates, including key management personnel and other talent. Due to competition, limited supply, and/or rising wage levels for qualified management, technical and other personnel, there can be no assurance that Array will be able to attract and/or retain people of outstanding potential for leadership and development of its business. The loss of existing key personnel due to competition, wage levels and/or retirements, the failure to recruit highly skilled personnel in a timely and cost-effective manner, the failure of the leadership transition following the close of the T-Mobile transaction, or the failure to have effective succession planning, could have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition or results of operations.
10)Costs, integration problems or other factors associated with acquisitions or divestitures of assets could have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition to the transactions described previously, Array may enter into agreements to acquire or divest certain assets. In general, Array may not disclose the negotiation of such transactions until a definitive agreement has been reached.
These transactions commonly involve a number of risks, including:
•Identification of assets for acquisition;
•Competition for acquisition targets and the ability to acquire at reasonable prices;
•Inability to make acquisitions that would achieve sufficient scale or substantial benefit to be competitive with competitors with greater scale;
•Ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for acquisitions and divestitures;
•Significant expenditures associated with acquisitions and divestitures;
•Ability to enter markets in which Array has limited or no direct prior experience and competitors have stronger positions;
•Uncertain revenues and expenses associated with acquisitions, with the result that Array may not realize the growth in revenues, anticipated cost structure, profitability, or return on investment that it expects;
•Possible lack of buyers for assets that Array desires to divest and the ability to divest such assets at reasonable prices;
•Impact on Array's cash and available credit lines for use in financing future growth and working capital needs; and
•Possible conditions to, or lack of, approvals by the FCC, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice and State regulators.
No assurance can be given that Array will be successful with respect to any of its future acquisition or divestiture strategies or initiatives.
Financial Risk Factors
11)Uncertainty in Array's or TDS' future cash flow and liquidity, its level of indebtedness or the inability to access capital, deterioration in the capital markets, changes in interest rates, other changes in Array's or TDS' performance or market conditions, changes in Array's or TDS' credit ratings or other factors could limit or restrict the availability of financing on terms and prices acceptable to Array could impact Array's business operations.
Array has a variety of debt instruments and it may be necessary or desirable from time to time to increase this debt. Array's ability to make scheduled payments on its indebtedness or to refinance it will depend on its financial and operating performance which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and other factors beyond its control. A portion of Array's debt is subject to variable interest rates, which causes Array to be vulnerable to unfavorable changes in market interest rates.
Array's liquidity would be adversely affected if, among other things, cash flows from operations significantly decline from anticipated levels, Array is unable to obtain short or long-term financing on acceptable terms, Array is not able to comply with certain debt covenants or Array is unsuccessful in negotiating related consents, waivers, or amendments, interest rates increase, Array makes significant business acquisitions, or the Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership (LA Partnership) and other minority-owned investment interests discontinue or significantly reduce distributions compared to historical levels. Array's liquidity may also be adversely affected by changes in the liquidity of TDS that impact TDS' or Array's ability to comply with certain debt covenants or if TDS or Array is unsuccessful in negotiating related consents, waivers, or amendments. These or other developments at TDS may negatively affect Array's ability to obtain short or long-term financing on acceptable terms.
Array's revolving credit agreement and term loan agreement require Array to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. Depending on the actual financial performance of Array, there is a risk that Array could fail to satisfy the required covenants. Restrictions included in such debt instruments may limit Array's operating and financial flexibility. Array's restrictions contained in debt instruments and/or possible breaches of covenants, defaults, and acceleration of indebtedness could have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition, revenues, results of operations and cash flows.
Array's or TDS' credit ratings from nationally recognized credit agencies or other factors could limit or restrict the availability of financing on terms and prices acceptable to Array, which could impact Array's business operations. Given Array's ownership structure, the rating agencies often consider rating actions related to TDS and Array in tandem. To the extent that TDS' credit rating is downgraded, it may adversely affect Array's credit rating, which could impact Array's liquidity.

12)Array has significant investments in wireless operating entities that it does not control. Losses in the value of or cash flows from such investments could have an adverse effect on Array's financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Array has significant investments in wireless operating entities that it does not control. Array's interests in such entities do not provide Array with control over the business strategy, financial goals, network build-out plans or other operational aspects of these entities. Array cannot provide assurance that these entities will operate in a manner that will increase or maintain the value of Array's investments, that Array's proportionate share of income from these investments will continue at the current level in the future or that Array will not incur losses from the holding of such investments. Losses in the values of such investments or a reduction in income and distributions from these investments could adversely affect Array's financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Regulatory, Legal and Governance Risk Factors
13)Failure by Array to timely or fully comply with any existing applicable legislative and/or regulatory requirements or changes thereto could adversely affect Array's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Array's operations are subject to varying degrees of regulation by the FCC, FAA and other federal, state and local regulatory agencies and legislative bodies. Both the FAA and the FCC regulate the construction, modification, and maintenance of towers and structures that support antennas used for wireless communications and radio and television broadcasts. FAA and FCC regulations govern construction, lighting, painting, marking and registration of towers. Certain proposals to construct new towers, or to modify or add new equipment to existing towers, may require review by the FAA to ensure that the tower will not present a hazard to air navigation. Array bears certain responsibilities under these regulations, including notifying the FAA of any lighting outages. Failure to comply with existing or future applicable requirements may lead to civil penalties or other liabilities and may subject Array to significant indemnification liability to its customers against any such failure to comply.
In addition, changes in the administration of the various regulatory agencies and legislative bodies are resulting in and could continue to result in different policies with respect to many federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to changes to fiscal and tax policies, trade policies, tariffs on imported goods, climate change and workforce-related practices. New or amended regulatory requirements could increase Array's costs and divert resources from other initiatives. Adverse decisions, increased regulation, or changes to existing regulation by regulatory bodies could negatively impact Array's operations. New regulatory mandates or enforcement may result in lost revenues, higher operating expenses, unexpected or increased capital expenditures, or other changes. Litigation and different objectives among federal and state regulators could create uncertainty and delay Array's ability to respond to new regulations. Further, wireless spectrum licenses are subject to renewal by the FCC and Array's licenses for the spectrum it continues to hold could be revoked in the event of a violation of applicable laws or regulatory requirements.
Array attempts to timely and fully comply with all regulatory requirements. However, Array is unable to predict the future actions of the various legislative and regulatory bodies that govern Array, and such actions could have adverse effects on Array's business.
14)Settlements, judgments, restraints on its current or future manner of doing business and/or costs resulting from pending and future legal and policy proceedings could have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Array is regularly involved in a number of legal and policy proceedings before the FCC and various state and federal courts. Such legal and policy proceedings can be complex, costly, protracted and highly disruptive to business operations by diverting the attention and energies of management and other key personnel.
The assessment of legal and policy proceedings is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events. Additionally, amounts ultimately received or paid upon settlement or resolution of litigation and other contingencies may differ materially from amounts accrued in the financial statements. Depending on a range of factors, these or similar proceedings could impose restraints on Array's current or future manner of doing business.
15)There could be potential conflicts of interests between TDS and Array.
TDS owns over 80% of the combined shares outstanding of both classes of common stock of Array, including a majority of the outstanding Common Shares and 100% of the Series A Common Shares, and controls 96% of their combined voting power. As a result, TDS is effectively able to elect all of Array's nine directors and otherwise control the management and operations of Array. Six of the nine directors of Array are also directors of TDS and/or executive officers of TDS and/or Array. Directors and officers of TDS who are also directors or officers of Array, and TDS as Array's controlling shareholder, are in positions involving the possibility of conflicts of interest with respect to certain transactions concerning Array. When the interests of TDS and Array diverge, TDS may exercise its influence in its own best interests.
Array and TDS have entered into contractual arrangements governing certain transactions and relationships between them. Some of these agreements were executed prior to the initial public offering of Array's Common Shares and were not the result of arm's-length negotiations. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the terms and conditions of these agreements are as favorable to Array as could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Table of Contents
Conflicts of interest may arise between TDS and Array when faced with decisions that could have different implications for Array and TDS, including technology decisions, financial decisions, the payment of distributions by Array, agreements or transactions between TDS and Array, business activities and other matters. TDS also may take action that favors its other businesses and the interests of its shareholders over Array's business and the interests of Array shareholders and debt holders. Because TDS controls Array, conflicts of interest could be resolved in a manner adverse to Array and its other shareholders or its debt holders.
16)Certain matters, such as control by TDS and provisions in the Array Restated Certificate of Incorporation, may serve to discourage or make more difficult a change in control of Array or have other consequences.
The control of Array by TDS may tend to deter non-negotiated tender offers or other efforts to obtain control of Array and thereby deprive shareholders of opportunities to sell shares at prices higher than those prevailing in the market.
The Array Restated Certificate of Incorporation also contains provisions which may serve to discourage or make more difficult a change in control of Array without the support of TDS or without meeting various other conditions. In particular, the authorization of multiple classes of capital stock with different voting rights could prevent shareholders from profiting from an increase in the market value of their shares as a result of a change in control of Array by delaying or preventing such change in control.
The Array Restated Certificate of Incorporation also authorizes the Array Board of Directors to designate and issue Preferred Shares in one or more classes or series from time to time. Generally, no further action or authorization by the shareholders is necessary prior to the designation or issuance of the additional Preferred Shares authorized pursuant to the Array Restated Certificate of Incorporation unless applicable laws or regulations would require such approval in a given instance. Such Preferred Shares could be issued in circumstances that would serve to preserve TDS' control of Array.
The provisions of the Array Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the existence of different classes of capital stock and voting rights could result in the exclusion of Array Common Shares from certain major stock indices at some point in the future, unless Array is grandfathered by such stock indices or qualifies for some other exception.
General Risk Factors
17)Array has experienced, and in the future expects to experience, cyber-attacks or other breaches of information technology security of varying degrees on a regular basis, which could have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Array has historically experienced, and in the future expects to experience, cyber-attacks of varying degrees on a regular basis. These include cyber-attacks intended to wrongfully obtain private and valuable information, or cause other types of malicious events. The number of associates working remotely increases risks associated with data handling and vulnerability management. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify Array's cybersecurity risk. Array maintains administrative, technical and physical controls, as well as other preventative actions, to reduce the risk of security breaches. Although to date Array has not discovered a material security breach, these efforts may be insufficient to prevent a material security breach stemming from future cyber-attacks including ransomware. If Array's or its vendors' information technology are not adequately adapted to changes in technology or are damaged or fail to function properly, and/or if Array's or its vendors' security is breached or otherwise compromised, Array could suffer adverse consequences, including theft, destruction or other loss of critical and private data, including customer and/or employee data, interruptions or delays in its operations, inaccurate financial reporting, and significant costs to remedy the problems. If Array's or its vendors' systems become unavailable or suffer a security breach of customer or other data, Array may be required to expend significant resources and take various actions to address the problems, including notification under data privacy laws and regulations, may be subject to fines, sanctions and litigation, and its reputation and operating results could be adversely affected. Array continues to experience denial of service attacks. Although Array has implemented and continues to enhance its protection and recovery measures in response to such attacks, these efforts may be insufficient to prevent a material denial of service attack in the future.
18)Disruption in credit or other financial markets, a deterioration of U.S. or global economic conditions or other events could, among other things, impede Array's access to or increase the cost of financing its operating and investment activities and/or result in reduced revenues and lower operating income and cash flows, which would have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Disruptions in the credit and financial markets, declines in consumer confidence, increases in unemployment, declines in economic growth, increased tariffs on import goods, sudden increases in inflation and uncertainty about corporate earnings could have a significant negative impact on the U.S. and global financial and credit markets and the overall economy. Such events could have an adverse impact on financial institutions resulting in limited access to capital and credit for many companies. Furthermore, economic uncertainties make it very difficult to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. Changes in economic conditions, changes in financial markets, changes in U.S. trade policies, deterioration in the capital markets or other factors could have an adverse effect on Array's business, financial condition, revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
On August 1, 2025, United States Cellular Corporation changed its name to Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. (Array). Array is used throughout this report even when referring to historical periods. As of September 30, 2025, Array, a Delaware Corporation, is an 82.0%-owned subsidiary of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (TDS). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are presented for continuing operations, except for Note 2 -Discontinued Operations.
The accounting policies of Array conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Unless otherwise specified, references to accounting provisions and GAAP in these notes refer to the requirements of the FASB ASC. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Array, subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, general partnerships in which Array has a majority partnership interest and certain entities in which Array has a variable interest that requires consolidation into the Array financial statements under GAAP. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain numbers included herein are rounded to thousands or millions for ease of presentation; however, certain calculated amounts and percentages are determined using the unrounded numbers. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Array's Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed) necessary for the fair statement of Array's financial position as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, its results of operations and changes in equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income was not included because comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, equaled net income (loss). These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Array has not changed its significant accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Restricted Cash
Array presents restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of December 31, 2024, restricted cash primarily consists of balances required under the receivables securitization agreement. The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet to the total of the amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Note 2 Discontinued Operations
In August 2023, TDS and Array announced that the Boards of Directors of both companies decided to initiate a process to explore a range of strategic alternatives for Array. On August 1, 2025, Array sold its wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile US, Inc. (T-Mobile) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (Securities Purchase Agreement). Array met the criteria to classify the wireless operations and select spectrum assets sold to T-Mobile as discontinued operations following the receipt of regulatory approval and subsequent closing of the transaction, all of which occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Total consideration received was $4,293.8 million after adjustments which included a combination of $2,628.8 million in cash proceeds and $1,665.0 million in debt assumed by T-Mobile through the preliminary results of an exchange offer made to Array's debtholders, which subsequently closed on August 5, 2025. Certain of these amounts are subject to final adjustment approximately 180 days after the closing date. The final cash proceeds are subject to adjustment according to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, Array recorded an estimated purchase price true-up due to T-Mobile of $20.2 million, which is classified as Current liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Array expects a cash income tax liability on the T-Mobile transaction of between $250.0 million and $300.0 million. The transaction included a debt exchange offer whereby debt issued by Array could be exchanged for debt issued by T-Mobile, which reduced the cash portion of the purchase price. See Note 10- Debtfor additional information related to the debt exchange. The cash portion of the purchase price was also reduced by unearned contingent consideration of $89.3 million as well as other purchase price adjustments outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. In addition, certain licenses included in the T-Mobile transaction did not transfer to T-Mobile at the time of close and are subject to FCC approval. At closing, a $16.7 million deferral of the purchase price was recorded related to these spectrum licenses. The closing of the transaction triggered the recognition of certain cash and non-cash obligations. Such obligations include contingent advisory fees, employee compensation and severance, employee stock award costs, debt extinguishment, income tax expense, administrative costs and restructuring expenses. Array also may incur significant decommissioning costs for certain equipment and recorded a liability of $65.8 million as of September 30, 2025, which is classified as Other deferred liabilities and credits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of July 31, 2025, the carrying value of the net assets sold to T-Mobile was $2,362.1 million. Array recognized a loss on the transaction of $239.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Under the provisions of certain debt agreements, which did not transfer in the sale, Array was required to repay the outstanding borrowings with proceeds from the sale. Given that the repayment of debt is contractually triggered by the sale and the debt exchange is directly related to the T-Mobile transaction, the related interest expense is presented within discontinued operations. See Note 10- Debtfor additional information related to the repayment of debt and the debt exchange.
The transaction was structured as an asset sale for income tax purposes. As a result, no current or deferred tax assets or liabilities were transferred to T-Mobile.
On August 1, 2025, a Short-Term Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement and Short-Term Spectrum Manager Sublease Agreements became effective, which provide T-Mobile with an exclusive license to use certain Array spectrum assets and leases at no cost for up to one-year for the sole purpose of providing continued, uninterrupted service to customers. The portion of the purchase price allocated to the use of this spectrum was $149.3 million based on an estimate for fair market value and will be recognized to Short-term imputed spectrum lease income in the continuing operations Consolidated Statement of Operations over the one-year term.
On August 1, 2025, Array and T-Mobile entered into a Master License Agreement (MLA), pursuant to which, among other things, T-Mobile has agreed to license from Array, for a minimum of 15 years, space on a minimum of 2,015 towers owned by Array. The MLA also provided that T-Mobile extend the license term for approximately 600 towers owned by Array for a new 15-year term commencing on August 1, 2025. In addition, the MLA provides terms and conditions for T-Mobile, at its option, to revert certain equipment back to Array and would make Array responsible for any decommissioning, remediation, restoration, or disposal costs of such assets.
Following the close of the transaction, TDS entered into a transition services agreement (TSA) with T-Mobile to provide ongoing services and support. The TSA is primarily between TDS and T-Mobile and does not materially impact the Array consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities that transferred in the sale did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale in the historical Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024. However, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, Array met the criteria to classify the wireless operations and select spectrum assets sold to T-Mobile as discontinued operations, and therefore, the major classes of assets and liabilities are presented as discontinued operations in the historical Consolidated Balance Sheet, as follows:

Note 3 Fair Value Measurements
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Array did not have any material financial or nonfinancial assets or liabilities that were required to be recorded at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP.
The provisions of GAAP establish a fair value hierarchy that contains three levels for inputs used in fair value measurements. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Level 3 inputs are unobservable. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is not representative of its expected performance or its overall risk profile and, therefore Level 3 assets are not necessarily higher risk than Level 2 assets or Level 1 assets.
Array has applied the provisions of fair value accounting for purposes of computing the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes as displayed below.

Table of Contents
Long-term debt excludes the current portion of Long-term debt and debt financing costs. The fair value of Long-term debt was estimated using various methods, including quoted market prices and discounted cash flow analyses.
The fair values of Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their book values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Note 4 Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on Income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was (132.8)% and (71.7)%, respectively. These effective tax rates are not meaningful due to low amounts of pretax income and reflect favorable reductions to valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets that are now likely to be realized by the taxable income generated from the sale of wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile, and/or the pending License Purchase Agreements currently classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2025.
The effective tax rate on Income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 18.8% and 14.5%, respectively. These effective rates reflect unfavorable adjustments for state taxes and nondeductible interest expense.
Note 5 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Array shareholders is computed by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to Array shareholders by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Array shareholders is computed by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to Array shareholders by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period adjusted to include the effects of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities primarily include incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of performance and restricted stock units, as calculated using the treasury stock method.
The amounts used in computing basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Array shareholders were as follows:

Certain Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of performance and restricted stock units were not included in weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the calculation of Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Arrayshareholders because their effects were antidilutive. The number of such Common Shares excluded was 0.2 million and less than 0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 2.6 million and2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Note 6 Acquisitions and Divestitures
In addition to the divestiture of Array's wireless operations, as disclosed in Note 2 -Discontinued Operations, other acquisition and divestiture transactions are disclosed below. The estimated closing dates of the license sale transactions cited below could be impacted by the duration of the ongoing shutdown of the U.S. federal government.
On October 17, 2024, Array entered into a License Purchase Agreement (Verizon License Purchase Agreement) with Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon) to sell certain AWS, Cellular and PCS wireless spectrum licenses and agreed to grant Verizon certain rights to lease such licenses prior to the transaction close for total proceeds of $1,000.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, the book value of the wireless spectrum licenses to be sold was $585.6 million and is classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, and the termination of the T-Mobile Short-Term Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement.
On November 6, 2024, Array entered into a License Purchase Agreement (AT&T License Purchase Agreement) with New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC (AT&T), a subsidiary of AT&T Inc. to sell certain 3.45 GHz and 700 MHz wireless spectrum licenses and agreed to grant AT&T certain rights to lease and sub-lease such licenses prior to the transaction close for total proceeds of $1,018.0 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. As of September 30, 2025, the book value of the wireless spectrum licenses to be sold was $860.1 million and is classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025 or first half of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
On August 29, 2025, Array entered into a License Purchase Agreement (T-Mobile License Purchase Agreement) with T-Mobile to sell certain 700 MHz wireless spectrum licenses and agreed to grant T-Mobile certain rights to lease such licenses prior to the transaction close for total proceeds of $85.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, the book value of the wireless spectrum licenses to be sold was $64.3 million, of which $53.1 million was submitted for regulatory approval and is classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The transaction is expected to close in 2026, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
As part of the T-Mobile transaction to sell the wireless operations, Array entered into a Put/Call Agreement with T-Mobile whereby T-Mobile has the right to call certain spectrum assets and Array has the right to put certain spectrum assets to T-Mobile for an aggregate agreed upon price of $106.0 million. The call option notice period started on May 24, 2024, and the put exercise period started on August 1, 2025. There was no cash exchanged at the inception of the Put/Call Agreement. All license transfers pursuant to any put/call are subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval. Array accounts for this instrument as a net written call option and records such option at fair value each reporting period unless/until such option is exercised or terminated. As of September 30, 2025, Array wrote off the entire fair value of the net written call option. The change in fair value is recorded to (Gain) loss on license sales and exchanges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In September 2025, T-Mobile exercised $86.4 million of the call option. As of September 30, 2025, the book value of the spectrum licenses subject to the call notice was $86.5 millionand is classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The transaction is expected to close in 2026, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
The strategic alternatives review process is ongoing as Array works toward closing the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile spectrum transactions signed during 2024 and 2025, and seeks to opportunistically monetize its remaining spectrum assets that are not subject to executed agreements.
Array incurred third-party expenses related to the announced transactions and strategic alternatives review of $0.5 millionand $2.3 millionfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1.3 million and $19.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses for continuing operations.
On August 1, 2025, noncontrolling entities managed by Array that are not consolidated into the Array financial statements but are accounted for as equity method investments sold their wireless operations to T-Mobile in separate transactions, coterminous with the sale of Array's consolidated wireless operations sold to T-Mobile on the same date. Array realized income in the three months ended September 30, 2025 in the amount of $34.1 million related to its proportional share of the corresponding gain on sale. This income is recorded as a component of Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, Array received a distribution of $42.5 million from these transactions in August 2025 and such distribution is recorded as Distributions from unconsolidated entities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
On July 14, 2025, Array completed the acquisition of King Street Wireless, LLC and Sunshine Spectrum, LLC for a total purchase price of $16.7 million, of which $9.4 million was paid in prior periods and $7.3 million was paid at time of closing. The acquisitions result in the expected realization of certain deferred tax assets, and therefore Array recorded a reduction to valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and associated discrete income tax benefit of $47.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Note 7 Intangible Assets
Wireless spectrum licenses are considered to be indefinite-lived assets, and therefore, are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are events or circumstances that cause Array to believe that their carrying values exceed their fair values. Wireless spectrum licenses are tested for impairment at the level of reporting referred to as a unit of accounting.
During the third quarter of 2025, Array continued its efforts to monetize its spectrum assets not subject to pending sale agreements. Based on information obtained through that process, specifically suppressed pricing and decrease in demand for high-band spectrum, Array concluded that there were events and circumstances in the third quarter of 2025 that caused Array to believe the carrying value of one of the units of accounting for remaining spectrum not subject to a pending sale agreement may exceed its respective fair value (i.e., triggering event), and accordingly a quantitative impairment assessment was performed for that unit.
A market approach was used for purposes of the quantitative impairment assessment to value the wireless spectrum licenses for the high-band unit of accounting tested, selecting a point within a range of values established largely through industry benchmarks, FCC auction data, and precedent transactions. The fair value of the wireless spectrum licenses was less than the respective carrying value, and a $47.7 million impairment was recorded to Loss on impairment of licenses for continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the third quarter of 2025. The impairment loss was related to the retained high-band spectrum unit of accounting which includes the 28 GHz, 37 GHz and 39 GHz frequency bands, the carrying value of which was $113.4 million as of September 30, 2025 after the impairment loss. The impairment loss is driven by lower fair value attributed to high-band spectrum as a result of industry-wide challenges encountered related to the operationalization of this spectrum.
During the third quarter of 2024, Array concluded that there were events and circumstances that caused Array to believe the carrying values of five units of accounting may exceed their respective fair values (i.e. triggering event), and accordingly a quantitative impairment assessment was performed for those units. There was no triggering event for the other units of accounting.
Based on a market approach valuation, the fair value of the wireless spectrum licenses exceeded their respective carrying values by amounts ranging from 9% to 80% for three of the units of accounting. For two of the units of accounting, the fair value of the wireless spectrum licenses was less than the respective carrying value, and a $136.2 million impairment was recorded to Loss on impairment of licenses for continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the third quarter of 2024. The impairment loss was substantially all related to the retained high-band spectrum unit of accounting which includes the 28 GHz, 37 GHz and 39 GHz frequency bands, the carrying value of which was $161.1 million as of September 30, 2024 after the impairment loss. The impairment loss was driven by a change in the units of accounting described above combined with lower fair value primarily attributed to high-band spectrum as a result of industry-wide challenges encountered related to the operationalization of this spectrum.
Note 8 Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Investments in unconsolidated entities consist of amounts invested in entities in which Array holds a noncontrolling interest. Array's Investments in unconsolidated entities are accounted for using the equity method, measurement alternative method or net asset value practical expedient method as shown in the table below. The carrying value of measurement alternative method investments represents cost minus any impairments plus or minus any observable price changes.

Note 10 Debt
Revolving Credit Agreement
Array has an unsecured revolving credit agreement with a maximum borrowing capacity of $300.0 million. Amounts under the agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until maturity. In April 2025, Array amended the revolving credit agreement to extend the maturity date to July 2027 and allow for permitted dispositions, as specified in the amendment. The amendment also included a provision that was triggered upon the sale of the Array wireless operations to T-Mobile, which occurred on August 1, 2025, which accelerated the maturity date to April 2026. Additionally, the amendment to the revolving credit agreement included a provision that will be triggered upon Array receiving net proceeds from the cumulative sale of wireless spectrum licenses to AT&T, Verizon and other parties that equals or exceeds $500.0 million, which provision will automatically reduce the maximum borrowing capacity of the revolving credit agreement from $300.0 million to $150.0 million five business days after Array's receipt of such net proceeds. As of September 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the agreement, except for letters of credit, and Array's unused borrowing capacity was $299.9 million.
Term Loan Agreements
In August 2025, Array repaid the entire outstanding borrowings under its term loan agreements of $713.3 million.
In August 2025, Array borrowed $325.0 million under a term loan agreement with CoBank, ACB. The maturity date of the term loan is June 2030. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 2.50%.
Export Credit Financing Agreement
In August 2025,Array repaid the entire outstanding borrowings under its term loan agreement with Export Development Canada of $150.0 million.
Receivables Securitization Agreement
Array, through its subsidiaries, had a receivables securitization agreement that permitted securitized borrowings using its equipment installment plan receivables. In May 2025, Array repaid the entire outstanding borrowings under the agreement of $2.0 million. In July 2025, Array terminated the receivables securitization agreement.
Debt Covenants
The revolving credit agreement and term loan agreement with CoBank require Array to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, which include certain financial covenants that may restrict the borrowing capacity available. Following the sale of the Array wireless operations to T-Mobile, Array is required to maintain the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, based on net debt, as of the end of any fiscal quarter from and including the quarter in which such sale occurs at a level not to exceed 3.50 to 1.00. Array is also required to maintain the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio at a level not lower than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. Array believes that it was in compliance as of September 30, 2025 with all such financial covenants.

Table of Contents
Other Long-Term Debt
The T-Mobile transaction to sell the wireless operations and select spectrum assets included a debt exchange offer whereby debt issued by Array could be exchanged for debt issued by T-Mobile, which reduced the cash portion of the purchase price. The debt exchange offering closed on August 5, 2025 and resulted in the exchange of $1,680.1 million of long-term debt comprised of the following Array notes: $488.9 million of 6.7% Senior Notes, $394.2 million of 6.25% Senior Notes, $401.5 million of 5.5% March 2070 Senior Notes and $395.5 million of 5.5% June 2070 Senior Notes. As a result, on August 5, 2025, after the debt exchange, Array retained $363.9 million of senior notes, consisting of $55.1 million of 6.7% Senior Notes, $105.8 million of 6.25% Senior Notes, $98.5 million of 5.5% March 2070 Senior Notes, and $104.5 million of 5.5% June 2070 Senior Notes. The write-off of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs related to the exchanged debt of $47.7 million was recorded to (Gain) loss on sale of business and other exit costs, net within discontinued operations during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Note 11 Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated VIEs
Array consolidates VIEs in which it has a controlling financial interest as defined by GAAP and is therefore deemed the primary beneficiary. Array reviews the criteria for a controlling financial interest at the time it enters into agreements and subsequently when events warranting reconsideration occur. These VIEs have risks similar to those described in the "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-Q.
Array formed USCC EIP LLC, USCC Receivables Funding LLC and the USCC Master Note Trust, collectively the special purpose entities (SPEs), to facilitate a securitized borrowing using its equipment installment plan receivables. Given that Array had the power to direct the activities of these SPEs, and that these SPEs lacked sufficient equity to finance their activities, Array was deemed to have a controlling financial interest in the SPEs, and therefore consolidated them. On July 31, 2025, Array terminated the receivables securitization agreement and the USCC Master Note Trust was dissolved. On August 1, 2025, USCC EIP LLC and USCC Receivables Funding LLC conveyed to T-Mobile. Following these events, the SPEs were no longer classified as VIEs.
The following VIEs were formed to participate in FCC auctions of wireless spectrum licenses and to fund, establish, and provide wireless service with respect to any FCC wireless spectrum licenses won in the auctions:
▪Advantage Spectrum, L.P. (Advantage Spectrum) and Sunshine Spectrum, LLC, the general partner of Advantage Spectrum; and
▪King Street Wireless, L.P. (King Street Wireless) and King Street Wireless, LLC, the general partner of King Street Wireless.
These particular VIEs are collectively referred to as designated entities. Although the power to direct the activities of these VIEs was shared, Array had the most significant level of exposure to the variability associated with the economic performance of the VIEs, indicating that Array was the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. Therefore, in accordance with GAAP, these VIEs were consolidated into the Array financial statements. On July 14, 2025, Array completed the acquisition of King Street Wireless, LLC and Sunshine Spectrum, LLC for a total aggregate purchase price of $16.7 million. Following the acquisition, the designated entities were no longer classified as VIEs.
Array also consolidates other VIEs that are limited partnerships that lease tower space to tenants. A limited partnership is a variable interest entity unless the limited partners hold substantive participating rights or kick-out rights over the general partner. For certain limited partnerships, Array is the general partner and manages the operations. In these partnerships, the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights and, further, such limited partners do not have the authority to remove the general partner. Therefore, these limited partnerships also are recognized as VIEs and are consolidated into the Array financial statements under the variable interest model.
42
Table of Contents
The following table presents the classification and balances of the consolidated VIEs' assets and liabilities in Array's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The balances presented for both periods represent the consolidated VIEs identified as of September 30, 2025. As discrete continuing operations balances are not available, the balances presented for December 31, 2024 are derived from the ratio of continuing operations for the respective financial statement line item of Array's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Unconsolidated VIEs
Array manages the operations of and holds a variable interest in certain other limited partnerships, but is not the primary beneficiary of these entities, and therefore does not consolidate them into the Array financial statements under the variable interest model.
Array's total investment in these unconsolidated entities was $0.9 million and $4.7 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in Investments in unconsolidated entities in Array's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The maximum exposure from unconsolidated VIEs is limited to the investment held by Array in those entities.
Other Related Matters
Array made no contributions, loans or advances to its VIEs totaling during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $8.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Note 12 Business Segment Information
As of September 30, 2025, the wireless operations and select spectrum assets sold to T-Mobile qualified as discontinued operations. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for additional information. The wireless operations and select spectrum assets sold were reported within the Wireless segment in prior periods and as a result of the sale, the previously reported Wireless and Towers segments no longer meet the criteria to be reportable segments and Array is now a single reportable segment. Array generates its revenues by leasing tower space on Array-owned towers to other wireless carriers. Array's chief operating decision maker is the TDS President and Chief Executive Officer.
Although the chief operating decision maker regularly uses Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion (Adjusted EBITDA) for purposes of assessing performance and making capital allocation decisions, Array has concluded that Net income attributable to Array shareholders, as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, is also used and is the measure of profit or loss required to be disclosed under the provisions of ASC 280 for a single operating segment. The measure of segment assets is reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as "Total assets".

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Array maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Array's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by SEC Rules 13a-15(b), Array carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Array's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, Array's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that Array's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025, at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, Array evaluated the impact of the sale of its wireless operations on its control framework, which resulted in the removal, addition, and redesign of certain controls. Except for the changes related to the sale of the wireless operations, there were no other changes in internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Array's internal control over financial reporting.

Legal Proceedings
In April 2018, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) notified Array and its parent, TDS, that it was conducting inquiries of Array and TDS under the federal False Claims Act relating to Array's participation in wireless spectrum license auctions 58, 66, 73 and 97 conducted by the FCC. Array is or was a limited partner in several limited partnerships which qualified for the 25% bid credit in each auction. The investigation arose from civil actions under the Federal False Claims Act brought by private parties in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. In 2019, following the DOJ's investigation, the DOJ informed Advantage Spectrum, L.P. (Advantage) and King Street Wireless, L.P. (King Street) that it would not intervene in the above-referenced actions. Subsequently, the private party plaintiffs decided to continue the actions on their own. In July 2020, these actions were transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia upon the request of Advantage and King Street and over the objection of the Relators. In March 2023, the District Court for the District of Columbia granted Advantage's and King Street's motion to dismiss the actions with prejudice. The private party plaintiffs appealed the district court's decision to grant the motions to dismiss. In April 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal as to the case involving King Street. Plaintiffs filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court on September 5, 2025. The Supreme Court has requested a response from the defendants. On September 26, 2025, the D.C. Circuit reversed the district court's decision dismissing the case involving Advantage, and remanded that case to the district court for further proceedings.
Array believes that the Relators' claims are without merit and that Advantage's and King Street's participation in FCC auctions complied with applicable law and FCC Rules.
On May 2, 2023, a putative stockholder class action was filed against TDS and Array and certain current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. An Amended Complaint was filed on September 1, 2023, which names TDS, Array, and certain current Array officers and directors as defendants, and alleges that certain public statements made between May 6, 2022 and November 3, 2022 (the potential class period) regarding, among other things, Array's business strategies to address subscriber demand, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased TDS equity securities during the potential class period and demands unspecified money damages. On November 1, 2024, the court issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order granting in part and denying in part the defendants' motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On February 28, 2025, the parties reached a settlement in principle. On April 25, 2025, the plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. On September 4, 2025, the court approved the settlement and dismissed the lawsuit in its entirety with prejudice.
On January 31, 2025, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division against certain TDS and Array directors and officers, and nominal defendant TDS. The derivative lawsuit takes issue with the same public statements made between May 6, 2022 and November 3, 2022, alleging that the fact that the statements were made was a breach of fiduciary duty on the part of the officer and director defendants, and bringing claims for indemnification and contribution against the officer and director defendants and Array. In addition to indemnification and contribution, the plaintiff seeks money damages and the implementation of certain governance proposals. On July 21, 2025, a motion to intervene in the lawsuit was filed by the stockholder plaintiff who had previously filed a stockholder derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and subsequently dismissed that federal court lawsuit. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Circuit Court lawsuit on July 23, 2025. On September 29, 2025, the proposed intervenor withdrew her motion to intervene. A hearing on the motion to dismiss was held on October 6, 2025. A status conference on the motion to dismiss is set for January 23, 2026.
Array is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Array intends to contest plaintiffs' claims vigorously on the merits.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In November 2009, Array announced by Form 8-K that the Board of Directors of Array authorized the repurchase of up to 1,300,000 additional Common Shares on an annual basis beginning in 2009 and continuing each year thereafter, on a cumulative basis. In December 2016, the Array Board amended this authorization to provide that, beginning on January 1, 2017, the increase in the authorized repurchase amount with respect to a particular year will be any amount from zero to 1,300,000 Common Shares, as determined by the Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors, and that if the Pricing Committee did not specify an additional amount for any year, such additional amount would be zero for such year. The Pricing Committee has not specified any increase in the authorization since that time. The Pricing Committee also was authorized to decrease the cumulative amount of the authorization at any time, but has not taken any action to do so at this time. The authorization provides that share repurchases will be made pursuant to open market purchases, block purchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act or Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, or pursuant to accelerated share repurchase arrangements, prepaid share repurchases, private purchases, or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions. This authorization does not have an expiration date. Array did not determine to terminate the foregoing Common Share repurchase program, as amended, or cease making further purchases thereunder, during the third quarter of 2025.
The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under this program was 658,107 as of September 30, 2025. There were no purchases made by or on behalf of Array, or any open market purchases made by any "affiliated purchaser" (as defined by the SEC) of Array, of Array Common Shares during the quarter covered by this Form 10-Q.
