As noted in Item 5.07 below, at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Uniti Group Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Uniti Group Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Long-Term Incentive Plan”). A summary of the material terms of the Long-Term Incentive Plan is set forth on pages 22 through 26 of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 21, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”). The summary and the foregoing description of the Long-Term Incentive Plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Long-Term Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Annual Meeting was held virtually on May 21, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern time) at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/UNIT2026. During the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on five proposals. The proposals are described in the Company’s Proxy Statement. The voting results for each of the proposals are as follows.

Consistent with the stockholders’ advisory vote, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers on an annual basis. These annual advisory votes will continue each year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation, which will occur no later than the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2032.

As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, in addition to receiving non-employee director compensation from the Company, Elliott Investment Management L.P. (“Elliott”) and Johannes Weber have entered into a consulting arrangement whereby Mr. Weber is eligible to receive additional compensation from Elliott in connection with his service on the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Weber’s compensation under the consulting agreement is based upon, among other things, returns realized by Elliott from their investment in the Company. Mr. Weber’s compensation will be equal to 0.45% of returns realized by Elliott if the Company does not enter into a strategic transaction or 0.90% if it does, subject to a number of conditions in the consulting agreement that could result in a lower payout.
