TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.
On February 9, 2006, the Compensation Committee (the Compensation Committee) of the Board of
Directors of Valor Communications Group, Inc. (the Company) adopted the 2006 Incentive
Compensation Plan (the Plan), pursuant to which selected management employees of the Company,
including executive management, may receive a cash incentive award. The Plan will be administered
by the Companys senior management and awards will be calculated based upon the Companys financial
performance (determined by reference to EBITDA targets established under the Plan from time to
time). The Plan will operate through the closing of the merger agreement executed on December 8,
2005 among the Company, Alltel Corporation and Alltel Holdings Corp. (the Merger). Assuming the
Company achieves its financial goals, participants in the Plan will receive a pro-rata payout
calculated through the date of the closing of the Merger.
On February 9, 2006, the Company executed amendments to its Employment Agreements and Restricted
Stock Agreements with John J. Mueller, Jerry E. Vaughn, William M.
Ojile, Jr., Grant Raney, Cynthia B.
Nash and Randal S. Dumas, in order to implement retention and severance terms approved by the
Compensation Committee on December 8, 2005 in connection with the Merger. In addition, on December
8, 2005, the Compensation Committee determined that the closing of the Merger will constitute a
Change in Control as that term is defined in such senior executives Employment Agreements and
Restricted Stock Agreements.
The Plan and the Employment Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement amendments are attached as
Exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
