Array has additional signed spectrum sale agreements with Verizon and AT&T and has paid special dividends of $23.00 and $10.25 per share tied to these monetizations. The filing highlights heavy fiber investment at TDS Telecom, Array’s long-term Master License Agreement with T-Mobile, and extensive risk factors around spectrum monetization, tower tenancy, competition, regulatory support programs, cybersecurity and liquidity.
