PROXY STATEMENT
Why am I receiving Windstream’s Annual Meeting materials?
Windstream Holdings, Inc. (“Windstream” or the “Company”) delivered these materials to you in connection
with Windstream’s solicitation of proxies for use at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”)
to be held on May 7, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. (local time), and at any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof. These
materials were first sent or made available to stockholders on March 25, 2014. You are invited to attend the Annual
Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”). The
Annual Meeting will be held at the Capital Hotel, 111 West Markham, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201.
Why did I receive a notice of online availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of Windstream’s Annual
Meeting materials, or vice versa?
In accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are
providing online access to Windstream’s Annual Meeting materials over the Internet to many of our stockholders
(other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery or to whom we have elected to furnish a
full set of materials). We mailed to these stockholders a notice of online availability of proxy materials containing
instructions on how to access our Annual Meeting materials, including this Proxy Statement and our annual report,
and to vote online, as well as instructions on obtaining a paper copy of the materials, including a proxy card. The notice
also instructs stockholders on how to request delivery of proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically
by e-mail on an ongoing basis for future stockholder meetings. All stockholders who did not receive this notice will
receive a full set of the Annual Meeting materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail.
What is included in Windstream’s Annual Meeting materials?
Windstream’s Annual Meeting materials include:
• This Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting;
• Windstream’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Annual
Report”); and
• If you received a full set of Windstream’s Annual Meeting materials, the proxy card or, if you are a
beneficial owner of shares held in street name, a voting instruction form.
What items will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
Stockholders will vote on nine items at the Annual Meeting as summarized in the Notice for the Annual Meeting.
