Item 5.02.      Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) As previously reported, on February 25, 2019, Windstream Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and all of its subsidiaries, including Windstream Services, LLC (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On May 15, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Key Employee Incentive Plan (the “KEIP”) of the Company, and a copy of the order may be available electronically at http://www.kccllc.net/windstream. The KEIP is designed to provide incentive compensation, based on Company performance, to five of the Debtors’ senior executives and provides a potential threshold award opportunity of approximately $5.0 million, a target award opportunity of approximately $10.0 million, as described below, and a maximum award opportunity of approximately $18.9 million.
Under the KEIP, each person who executes an award agreement under the plan is eligible to earn quarterly performance bonuses at the end of second, third and fourth quarters of 2019, depending upon the extent to which specific performance metrics are achieved, with metrics varying by individual participant based on his/her function or business unit. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the following aggregate 2019 target award opportunities under the KEIP for the following named executive officers: Tony Thomas , President and Chief Executive Officer: $5,130,000; Robert E. Gunderman , Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer: $1,900,000; Kristi Moody , Executive Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary: $781,250; Layne Levine , President - Enterprise & Wholesale: $1,140,000; and Jeffery Small , President - Kinetic: $1,080,000.
Each KEIP award is subject to a clawback and 50% of payments earned by each KEIP participant is subject to a holdback period, subject to certain conditions. In addition, if a KEIP participant voluntarily terminates his or her employment without cause or is terminated for cause, then any remaining unpaid portion of the KEIP award or holdback amount will be forfeited. If a KEIP participant’s employment is terminated without cause, by the KEIP participant for good reason or upon death or disability, such KEIP participant will be entitled to a pro-rata portion of his or her KEIP payment that would otherwise have been earned for such performance period based on the percentage of the performance period such KEIP participant was engaged by the Debtors. The foregoing description of the KEIP does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified by, the full text of the 2019 Key Employee Incentive Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference.
Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.     
On May 15, 2019, the Debtors filed a monthly operating report with the Bankruptcy Court for the period from February 25, 2019 to March 31, 2019 (the “Monthly Operating Report”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Monthly Operating Report may be available electronically at http://www.kccllc.net/windstream.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and in Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished hereby and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such filings. The filing of this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Financial Operating Data
The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Debtors prepared the Monthly Operating Report solely for purposes of complying with the monthly operating requirements applicable in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases. The financial information contained in the Monthly Operating Report is unaudited, limited in scope, and as such, has not been subject to procedures that would typically be applied to financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Monthly Operating Report should not be relied upon by any persons for information relating to current or future financial condition, events or performance of the Company and any of its debtor and non-debtor subsidiaries, as the results of operations contained in the Monthly Operating Report are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected from any other period or for the full year, and may not necessarily reflect the combined results of operations, financial position and schedule of receipts and disbursements in the future. There can be no assurance that such information is complete, and the Monthly Operating Report may be subject to revision. Subsequent information or discovery may result in material changes to the Monthly Operating Report and errors or omissions may exist. Notwithstanding any such discovery, new information, or errors or omissions, the Debtors do not undertake any obligation or commitment to update the Monthly Operating Report.




Furthermore, this Form 8-K and/or the Monthly Operating Report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this filing that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes, targets or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties referenced from time to time in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional factors include, but are not limited to, those associated with the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases. The Company therefore cautions readers against relying on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

(a) Performance Period Measurement. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and any Participation Agreement, each Participant shall earn a Bonus as of the end of each Performance Period, depending upon the extent to which the Base Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period.

(b) Cumulative Measurement . In addition to the measurement of achievement of Base Performance Goals under Section 6(a) , achievement of the Cumulative Performance Goals shall be measured at the end of 2019; and a “catch-up” payment will be made to the extent the Company achieves the Cumulative Performance Goals for 2019.

(c) Performance Metrics; Performance Goals; and Calculation of Bonus Payouts .
 
(i) Exhibit A sets forth: (A) the Performance Metrics applicable to the Performance Periods and (B) the percentage of a Participant’s Target Bonus payable upon achievement of the applicable Performance Goals for a given Performance Metric. The Performance Goals for each Performance Metric for each Performance Period will be set forth in each Participant’s Participation Agreement.

(d) Continued Employment . Except as set forth below, to earn a Bonus for any Performance Period, a Participant must remain employed by the Company Group through the date on which the Bonus for the applicable Performance

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who becomes a Good Leaver during a Performance Period shall be entitled to: (i) payment of 100% of his or her Deferred Bonus(es) (as defined in  Section 7  hereof) within fifteen (15) days of his or her termination date and (ii) a pro-rata portion (based on the percentage of the Performance Period the Participant was engaged by the Company Group) of the Participant’s Bonus that would otherwise have been earned for such Performance Period, paid in full (without deferral of any portion) at the applicable time specified in Section 7 . 

(e) Clawback . If a Participant’s employment with the Company Group terminates before December 31, 2019 (other than in a Good Leaver termination), the Participant will be required to repay, within ten (10) days of such termination, the After-Tax Value of the Excess Bonuses, if any, to the Company. For this purpose, (i) “ Excess Bonuses ” means the sum of the Bonus paid to the Participant for each Performance Period in excess of the Participant’s Target Bonus for that Performance Period; and (ii) “ After-Tax Value ” of the Excess Bonuses means (A) the Excess Bonuses reduced by (B) the amount of payroll or income taxes actually withheld from such Excess Bonuses. By way of example, if a Participant’s Target Bonus for each Performance Period was $100 and the Participant was paid $150 for Period 1, $90 for Period 2 and $125 for Period 3, the Participant’s Excess Bonuses would be $75 ($50 for Period 1, $0 for Period 2 and $25 for Period 3).
    
7. Performance Certification . Promptly after the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify the degree to which the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved and the amount of Bonus payable to each Participant hereunder. In determining achievement of the Performance Goals, the Committee shall consider the Special Items (as defined and in the manner described in Item 3 of the Committee’s resolutions dated April 12, 2019). Any Bonus required to be made under the Plan shall be paid on a fully-vested basis by the Company as soon as possible after the end of the applicable Performance Period, but in any event by (a) August 31, 2019 for 1H 2019; (b) November 30, 2019 for 3Q 2019; and (c) February 29, 2020 for 4Q 2019 and, if applicable, for 2019 pursuant to Section 6(b) ; provided that one-half of a Participant’s Bonus for the applicable Performance Period shall be payable on the earlier of (i) the date of the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and (ii) March 1, 2020 (the “ Deferred Bonus ”).

8. Plan Administration . The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee is given full authority and discretion within the limits of the Plan to establish such administrative measures as may be necessary to administer and attain the objectives of the Plan and may delegate the authority to administer the Plan to an officer of the Company. The Committee (or its delegate, as applicable) shall have full power and authority to construe and interpret the Plan and any interpretation by the Committee shall be binding on all Participants and shall be accorded the maximum deference permitted by law.

(a) All rights and interests of Participants under the Plan shall be non-assignable and nontransferable, and otherwise not subject to pledge or encumbrance, whether voluntary or involuntary, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business, whether by merger, stock sale, consolidation or otherwise, the Company may assign the Plan.

(b) Any payment to a Participant in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Company Group related to the Plan, and the Company may require Participant, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

(c) Payment of amounts due under the Plan shall be provided to Participant in the same manner as Participant receives his or her regular paycheck or by mail at the last known address of Participant in the possession of the Company, at the discretion of Committee. The Company may deduct all applicable taxes and any other withholdings required to be withheld with respect to the payment of any award pursuant to the Plan.

(d) The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to ensure the payment of any award provided for hereunder. Bonus payments shall not be considered as extraordinary, special incentive compensation, and it will not be included as “earnings,” “wages,” “salary,” or “compensation” in any pension, welfare, life insurance, or other employee benefit plan or arrangement of the Company Group.

(e) The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to modify, supplement, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided that, except as required by law, in no event shall any amendment or termination adversely affect the rights of Participants regarding any Bonus for a Performance Period that has commenced as of the date of such action without the prior written consent of the affected Participants; and provided, further, that in the event of a termination of the Plan partway through a Performance Period, each Participant shall be entitled to a pro-rata portion (based on the percentage of the Performance Period completed prior to the Plan termination date) of the Bonus that would otherwise have been earned for such Performance




Period. Subject to the foregoing, the Plan shall terminate upon the satisfaction of all obligations of the Company or its successor entities hereunder.

(f) Nothing contained in the Plan shall in any way affect the right and power of the Company to discharge any Participant or otherwise terminate his or her employment at any time or for any reason or to change the terms of his or her employment in any manner.

(g) Except as otherwise provided under the Plan, any expense incurred in administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

(h) Captions preceding the sections hereof are inserted solely as a matter of convenience and in no way define or limit the scope or intent of any provision hereof.

(i) The administration of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of Arkansas, without regard to the conflict of law principles of any state. Any persons or corporations who now are or shall subsequently become parties to the Plan shall be deemed to consent to this provision.

(j) The Plan is intended to either comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A. To the extent that the Plan is not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A, the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest, income inclusion or other penalty that may be imposed on a Participant by Section 409A or for damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

GLOBAL NOTES AND STATEMENTS OF LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS REGARDING THE DEBTORS’ MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On February 25, 2019 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered for procedural purposes only under Windstream Holdings, Inc, No. 19-22312 (RDD) (S.D.N.Y.) pursuant to an order entered by the Bankruptcy Court on February 28, 2019 Docket No. 56. On March 12, 2019, the United States Trustee for Region 2 (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102(a) of the Bankruptcy Code Docket No. 136. The Debtors continue to operate their business and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[1] General Methodology: The Debtors are filing their consolidated monthly operating report (the “MOR”) solely for purposes of complying with the monthly operating requirements applicable in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases. The financial information contained herein is unaudited, limited in scope, and as discussed below, not necessarily prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The MOR should not be relied upon by any persons for information relating to current or future financial conditions, events, or performance of any of the Debtors or their affiliates, as the results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected from any other period or for the full year, and may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and schedule of receipts and disbursements in the future. There can be no assurance that such information is complete, and the MOR may be subject to revision. The following notes, statements, and limitations should be referred to, and referenced in connection with, any review of the MOR.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[2] Basis of Presentation. For financial reporting purposes, the Debtors prepare monthly consolidated financial statements, which include information for Windstream Holdings, and all of its subsidiaries. The Debtors are maintaining their books and records in accordance with GAAP and the information furnished in this MOR uses the Debtors’ normal accrual method of accounting. In preparing the MOR, the Debtors relied on financial data derived from their books and records that was available at the time of preparation. Nevertheless, in preparing this MOR, the Debtors made reasonable efforts to supplement the information set forth in their books and records with additional information concerning transactions that may not have been identified therein. Subsequent information or discovery may result in material changes to the MOR and errors or omissions may exist. Notwithstanding any such discovery, new information, or errors or omissions, the Debtors do not undertake any obligation or commitment to update this MOR.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[3] Reporting Period. Unless otherwise noted herein, the MOR generally reflects the Debtors’ books and records and financial activity occurring during the applicable reporting period. Except as otherwise noted, no adjustments have been made for activity occurring after the close of the reporting period.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[4] Accuracy. The financial information disclosed herein was not prepared in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other applicable non-bankruptcy law or in lieu of complying with any periodic reporting requirements thereunder. Persons and entities trading in or otherwise purchasing, selling, or transferring the claims against or equity interests in the Debtors should evaluate this financial information in light of the purposes for which it was prepared. The Debtors are not liable for and undertake no responsibility to indicate variations from securities laws or for any evaluations of the Debtors based on this financial information or any other information.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[5] Liabilities Subject to Compromise: Due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on February 25, 2019, the payment of pre-petition indebtedness is generally subject to compromise pursuant to a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-bankruptcy filing liabilities are stayed. Although payment of pre-petition claims generally is not permitted, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors authority to pay certain pre-petition claims in designated categories and subject to certain terms and conditions. This relief generally was designed to preserve the value of the Debtors’ businesses and assets. Among other things, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to pay certain pre-petition claims relating to employee wages and benefits, taxes and critical vendors. The Debtors have been paying and intend to pay undisputed post-petition liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Debtors may reject certain pre-petition executory contracts and unexpired leases with respect to their operations with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise are required to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. The amounts currently classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, or other events. We cannot reasonably estimate the value of the claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court until our evaluation, investigation and reconciliation of the filed claims has been completed. Any resulting changes in classification will be reflected in subsequent financial statements.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[6] Reservation of Rights. The Debtors reserve all rights to amend or supplement the MOR in all respects, as may be necessary or appropriate, but shall be under no obligation to do so. Nothing contained in this MOR shall constitute a waiver of any of the Debtors’ rights or an admission with respect to their Chapter 11 Cases.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[7] ASC 852.  This accounting standard requires expenses and income directly associated with the Chapter 11 Cases to be reported separately in the statement of operations as reorganization items, net. Reorganization items, net primarily include write-off of certain original issue discount and fees relating to debt obligations classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise, expenses related to legal advisory and representation services, other professional consulting and advisory services, and changes in liabilities subject to compromise recognized as there are changes in amounts expected to be allowed as claims. Nothing contained in this MOR shall constitute a waiver of any of the Debtors’ rights or an admission with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases, including, but not limited to, matters involving objections to claims, substantive consolidation, equitable subordination, defenses, characterization or re-characterization of contracts, assumption or rejection of contracts under the provisions of Chapter 3 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and/or causes of action under the provisions of Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other relevant applicable laws to recover assets or avoid transfers.

[1] Due in part to recording a $3.0 billion cumulative effect adjustment to equity and the resulting increase in the carrying value of our reporting units, the Debtors recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2019. The results of the required interim impairment test indicated that the carrying values of our Consumer & Small Business, Enterprise and Wholesale reporting units exceeded their fair values. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of goodwill in our Consumer & Small Business reporting unit of $903.4 million, an impairment of goodwill in our Enterprise reporting unit of $996.2 million and an impairment of goodwill in our Wholesale reporting unit of $439.4 million, representing the excess of the carrying value from each reporting unit's fair value.
 
 
[2] During March 2019, the Company wrote-off $45.7 million in unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to debt classified as Liabilities subject to compromise. The write-off of these items was included within Reorganization items, net. The Company also expensed $40.2 million in fees incurred in connection with its new DIP Facility and incurred $19.0 million of other costs associated with reorganization efforts, which were also included within Reorganization items, net.
