Uniti Group Inc. (herein referred to as the "Company," "Uniti," "we," "us," or "our") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 19, 2024, under the name "Windstream Parent, Inc" and as a subsidiary of New Windstream, LLC ("Windstream") (as successor to Windstream Holdings II, LLC) in connection with the Merger (as defined below).

The Company offers a full suite of advanced communications services, including fiber-based broadband to residential and business customers, managed cloud communications and security services for large enterprises and government entities across the U.S., and tailored waves and transport solutions for carriers, content providers and large cloud computing and storage service providers in the U.S. and Canada.

Prior to the Merger, Uniti Group LLC (f/k/a Uniti Group Inc., "Old Uniti") was an independent internally managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") engaged in the acquisition, construction and leasing of mission critical infrastructure in the communications industry. Old Uniti managed its operations within two primary lines of business: Uniti Fiber and Uniti Leasing. Old Uniti operated through a customary "up-REIT" structure, pursuant to which it held substantially all of its assets through a partnership, Uniti Group LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership") that Old Uniti controlled as general partner. The up-REIT structure was intended to facilitate future acquisition opportunities by providing Old Uniti with the ability to use common units of the Operating Partnership as a tax-efficient acquisition currency. As of August 1, 2025, Old Uniti was the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owned 100.0% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership.

Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company was renamed Uniti Group Inc., Old Uniti ceased to be a REIT, and the Company does not qualify to be a REIT. The common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "UNIT".
