of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;
Transfer of Listing.
On
September 14, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange notified Alltel Corporation
that
the company did not meet the requirements of Section 303A.03 of the NYSE’s
Listed Company Manual, which requires disclosure of the method for interested
parties to communicate with non−management directors, because Alltel’s Proxy
Statement for its 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in the section titled
“Board and Board Committee Matters,” disclosed how stockholders may communicate
with non−management directors without clarifying that such method of
communication was available to all interested third parties. Accordingly, Alltel
sets forth the information below and, in future years, will include this
disclosure in its proxy statements as required.
Stockholders
and other interested parties may contact the non-management directors of
Alltel’s Board of Directors by writing to: Alltel Corporation, Attention:
Non-Management Directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, One Allied Drive, Little
Rock, Arkansas 72202.

term will expire at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Stanton was
not
elected pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other
persons. A copy of Alltel’s September 15, 2006 press release announcing the
