Description of the Pro Forma Transactions

       Prior to the pro forma internal reorganization, TCI Inc. and Locus were directly held and
wholly owned by KDDI America, Inc. (“KDDI America”) which, in turn is wholly owned by

wholly owned subsidiary of KDDI America. In turn, KDDI America is a direct, wholly owned
subsidiary of KDDI Corporation, a public corporation based in Japan. With this filing, the
Companies notify the Commission of the following, effective March 31, 2015:

direct, wholly owned subsidiary of KDDI America. There has been no change in the ultimate
ownership of TCI or Locus.
