Explanatory Note

Consolidated Communications Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8−K/A to its Current Report on Form 8−K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2011, to disclose the decision of the Company regarding how frequently to hold a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers.

Item 5.07.                      Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously disclosed, at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 3, 2011, the holders of a plurality of the shares voting at the meeting expressed their preference for conducting an advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every three years.  The Board of Directors of the Company has determined, consistent with the stockholders’ vote on the matter, to hold such a vote every three years until the next vote on the frequency of such advisory votes.  The Board of Directors plans for the next advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers of the Company to occur in 2014 as a result of the adoption of the “every three years” standard.
