GE, Intel to Form New Healthcare Joint Venture

Company to Focus on Telehealth and Independent Living in Effort to Tackle Increasing Global Burden of Chronic Disease and Age-Related Conditions

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and FAIRFIELD, Conn. - GE (NYSE: GE) and Intel Corporation have announced the entry into a definitive agreement to form a 50/50 joint venture to create a new healthcare company focused on telehealth and independent living. The new company will be formed by combining assets of GE Healthcare's Home Health division and Intel's Digital Health Group, and will be owned equally by GE and Intel. Pending regulatory and other customary closing conditions, the joint venture is expected to become operational by the end of the year. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The venture builds on the GE-Intel healthcare alliance announced in April 2009 around independent living and chronic disease management. GE and Intel share a common vision to use technology to bring more effective healthcare into millions of homes and to improve the lives of seniors and people with chronic conditions. With the dramatic increase of people living with chronic conditions, and a global aging population, there is a need to find new models of healthcare delivery and extend care to the home and other residential settings.

Once formed, the new company will develop and market products, services and technologies that promote healthy, independent living at home and in assisted living communities around the world. It will focus on three major segments: chronic disease management, independent living and assistive technologies. GE Healthcare and Intel will contribute assets in remote patient monitoring, independent living concepts and assistive technologies, such as the Intel® Health Guide, Intel® Reader and GE Healthcare's QuietCare®.

"New models of care delivery are required to address some of the largest issues facing society today, including our aging population, increasing healthcare costs and a large number of people living with chronic conditions," said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. "We must rethink models of care that go beyond hospital and clinic visits, to home and community-based care models that allow for prevention, early detection, behavior change and social support. The creation of this new company is aimed at accelerating just that."

GE Chairman of the Board and CEO Jeff Immelt said "Controlling healthcare costs while bringing quality care to an increasingly aging population is one of the largest global challenges we face today. We think this joint venture will offer great potential to address these challenges by improving the quality of life for millions while lowering healthcare costs through new technology. This new company is the next step forward in a healthcare partnership that combines the complementary expertise and capabilities of GE and Intel to accelerate the development of innovative home health technology."

Under the terms of the agreement, the new company will combine an experienced team, home health assets, technology development, products, sales and marketing. With the combined talent, capabilities and capital sharing, the new company will also provide the focus required to speed innovation and delivery of products to market.

The new company will have headquarters in the greater Sacramento, Calif. area. Louis Burns, currently vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Health Group, will be CEO of the new company, and Omar Ishrak, senior vice president of GE and president and CEO, GE Healthcare Systems, will be chairman of the board.

Nokia Siemens Networks to Acquire Certain Wireless Network Infrastructure Assets of Motorola for US $1.2 Billion

Espoo, Finland / Schaumburg, Illinois

* Transaction expected to significantly strengthen Nokia Siemens Networks' presence globally, particularly in the United States and Japan.
* Nokia Siemens Networks targeting to gain incumbent relationships with more than 50 operators and strengthen relationships with others.
* Acquisition to enhance position of Nokia Siemens Networks in key wireless technologies; will give company large global footprint in CDMA.
* Motorola retains the iDEN business, substantially all the patents related to its wireless network infrastructure business, and other selected assets.
* The companies expect to complete closing activities by the end of 2010.

Nokia Siemens Networks and Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today jointly announced that the companies have entered into an agreement under which Nokia Siemens Networks will acquire the majority of Motorola's wireless network infrastructure assets for US $1.2 billion in cash. The companies expect to complete closing activities by the end of 2010, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals.

'This is an exciting acquisition that I believe has significant benefits for customers, employees and our shareholders,' said Rajeev Suri, chief executive officer of Nokia Siemens Networks. 'Motorola's current customers will continue to get world-class support for their installed base and a clear path for transitioning to next generation technologies while employees will join an industry leader with global scale and reach. Nokia Siemens Networks will see the benefits of a deal that is expected to enhance profitability and cash-flow and to have significant upside potential.'

"Motorola is very proud of the operational and financial performance of our Networks business and its employees, who will now become a valuable addition to Nokia Siemens Networks. We are excited to have reached this agreement to combine our Networks team with such an industry leader," said Greg Brown, Co-CEO of Motorola. "This is great news for our customers, our investors and our people and will allow us to sharpen our strategic focus on providing mission and business critical solutions for our government, public safety, and enterprise customers.'

As part of the transaction, Nokia Siemens Networks expects to gain incumbent relationships with more than 50 operators and to strengthen its position with China Mobile, Clearwire, KDDI, Sprint, Verizon Wireless and Vodafone.

'We are pleased to be able to add new relationships with some customers, and reinforce our position with others,' said Suri. 'I believe the addition of Motorola's Networks business will significantly strengthen our worldwide presence, enhance our scale in the United States, Japan and other priority regions and reinforce our leadership position in the global wireless sector.'

'Verizon views today's announcement as good news for the global wireless industry,' said Richard J. Lynch, executive vice president and chief technology officer of Verizon. 'This deal brings together two important Verizon suppliers; we look forward to our continuing work with Nokia Siemens Networks.'

Nokia Siemens Networks expects that based on revenue, with the addition of the Motorola wireless network infrastructure business, it will become the #3 wireless infrastructure vendor in the United States, the #1 foreign wireless vendor in Japan, and strengthen its current #2 position in the global infrastructure segment.

Motorola's networks infrastructure business provides products and services for wireless networks, including GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, WiMAX and LTE. This business is a market leader in WiMAX, with 41 contracts in 21 countries; has a strong global footprint in CDMA with 30 active networks in 22 countries; and a robust GSM installed base, with more than 80 active networks in 66 countries; and excellent traction with LTE early adopters.

'As customers look to transition from CDMA networks to next generation technologies, the addition of the Motorola wireless network infrastructure business is targeted to ensure that we are well placed to meet those needs,' said Bosco Novak, head of Customer Operations at Nokia Siemens Networks. 'Together, we will utilize the combined strength of Nokia Siemens Networks' TD-LTE solutions and Motorola's WiMAX and LTE businesses, to better meet customers' evolving technology and business needs.'

Approximately 7,500 employees are expected to transfer to Nokia Siemens Networks from Motorola's wireless network infrastructure business when the transaction closes, including large research and development sites in the United States, China and India. Motorola retains the iDEN business, substantially all the patents related to its wireless network infrastructure business and other selected assets.

The companies expect to complete closing activities by the end of 2010 and therefore do not expect the transaction to have any impact on Nokia Siemens Networks' financial performance in 2010.

Nokia Siemens Networks and Motorola also are exploring a global relationship in the public safety arena. This relationship would combine Motorola's leadership in providing solutions to public safety organizations with Nokia Siemens Networks' commercial LTE solutions.

Conference Call and Webcast
Nokia Siemens Networks and Motorola will host a conference call for media beginning at 10:30 a.m. (U.S. Eastern Time) on Monday, July 19. The conference call will be webcast live with audio at www.motorola.com/investor.

Renesas Electronics to acquire Nokia’s wireless modem business; companies to form strategic business alliance for modem technology development

Espoo, Finland and Tokyo, Japan - Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, and Nokia Corporation, the world leader in mobile communications, today announced that they are deepening their collaboration by forming a strategic business alliance to develop modem technologies for HSPA+/LTE (Evolved High-Speed Packet Access / Long-Term Evolution) and its evolution.

As part of this alliance, the companies have entered into an agreement whereby Renesas Electronics is to acquire Nokia's wireless modem business for approximately USD 200 million. The alliance is planned to be enhanced by long-term joint research cooperation on future radio technologies.

The planned transfer of Nokia's wireless modem business enables Renesas Electronics to maximize the value of Nokia's technology assets and engineering expertise in delivering advanced mobile platform solutions to the market by combining them with Renesas Electronics' market-proven multimedia processing and RF technologies. Together with Renesas Electronics' robust line-up of application processors, RF transceiver ICs, high power amplifiers, and power management devices, the wireless modem technologies enable Renesas Electronics to deliver a complete mobile platform solution to the market.

The wireless modem business to be transferred to Renesas Electronics includes Nokia's wireless modem technologies for LTE, HSPA and GSM standards, which have been used for billions of handsets in the global market over the years. Further, Nokia transfers Renesas Electronics certain patents related to the transferred technology asset. The planned transfer would also include approximately 1,100 Nokia R&D professionals, the vast majority of whom are located in Finland, India, the UK and Denmark.

The planned transfer is expected to further strengthen Renesas Electronics' position as one of the leading chipset vendors in the 3G and LTE market that is capable of providing one-stop mobile platform solutions, supporting an extensive range of modem protocols from GSM to LTE, and integrating advanced multimedia and computer processing capabilities.

"The agreement with Nokia demonstrates our long-standing commitment to shape the future of advanced mobile platforms and will serve as an important step for us to become a leading mobile platform vendor in the global market. Our collaboration with Nokia will enable consumers to enjoy true mobile cloud computing experiences through our advanced high-speed mobile devices," said Yasushi Akao, President of Renesas Electronics Corporation. "In line with our ongoing efforts to strengthen our business structure, the transferring wireless modem technology and the innovation power and expertise of Nokia's employees will perfectly complement our core competences and serve as the key driving forces in growing our mobile business in the global market."

"Wireless modems are an integral part of today's chipset solutions, and we believe that Renesas Electronics, as one of the key chipset vendors in the market, is in an ideal position to further develop this offering. The alliance enables us to continue to focus on our own core businesses, connecting people to what matters to them with our mobile products and solutions," says Kai Oistamo, Executive Vice President, Nokia.

Renesas Electronics has licensed the Nokia modem since 2009 and the two companies have been working together to develop an industry-leading HSPA+/LTE platform. "I believe that the integration of the world class Nokia wireless modem into Renesas Electronics' strong multimedia processing and RF capabilities, places Renesas Electronics in a strong position in HSPA+/LTE chipsets," says Oistamo.

In order to implement the planned business transfer, Nokia will start the appropriate personnel consultation process with its personnel representatives according to each applicable jurisdiction's labor law requirements. The transfer is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and is estimated to take place during the fourth quarter 2010.

Verizon Completes Spinoff of Local Exchange Businesses and Related Landline Activities in 14 States

Spun-Off Entity Then Merges With Frontier Communications, Resulting in Frontier Shares Issued to Verizon Stockholders

NEW YORK - Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, NASDAQ: VZ) today announced the completion of the spinoff of the shares of New Communications Holdings Inc. to Verizon stockholders.

New Communications held defined assets and liabilities that were used in Verizon's local exchange businesses and related activities in 14 states: Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin - and in portions of California bordering Arizona, Nevada and Oregon.

Immediately following the spinoff, New Communications merged with Frontier Communications Corporation (NYSE: FTR), resulting in Verizon stockholders collectively owning approximately 68 percent of Frontier common stock immediately after the merger.

Verizon stockholders are receiving one share of Frontier common stock for every 4.165977 shares of Verizon common stock they owned as of June 7, 2010. This is equivalent to approximately 0.24 shares of Frontier common stock for each share of Verizon common stock owned as of June 7, 2010. Verizon stockholders are receiving cash in lieu of any fraction of a share of Frontier common stock.

The total value of the transaction to Verizon and its stockholders is approximately $8.6 billion. Verizon stockholders are receiving $5.247 billion in Frontier common stock (based on the valuation formula contained in the merger agreement with Frontier), and Verizon has received $3.333 billion in value, primarily through a $3.083 billion special cash distribution. Consolidated Verizon debt is also being reduced by $250 million, representing debt that was borrowed from third parties by former Verizon subsidiaries that became Frontier subsidiaries through the spinoff and merger.

No Effect on Verizon Stock Certificates

Holders of Verizon common stock are not required to pay for shares of Frontier common stock they receive in this transaction, and they also retain all of their shares of Verizon common stock. This means that Verizon stockholders are not being asked to surrender their shares of Verizon common stock in the spinoff or the merger, or return their Verizon stock certificates.

Two-Way Trading in Verizon Through Close of Business Today

Beginning June 3 and continuing through the close of business today, there have been two markets in Verizon common stock on the New York Stock Exchange and The NASDAQ Stock Market. A "regular way" market included the right to receive shares of New Communications common stock to be converted to Frontier common stock, and an "ex-distribution" market excluded this right. Shares have traded under the symbol "VZ wi" on the NYSE and under "VZ.V" on NASDAQ in the ex-distribution market.

Verizon has been advised by the NYSE and NASDAQ that regular way trading under the symbol "VZ" includes the right to receive Frontier common stock through the close of business today. Similarly, ex-distribution trading in Verizon common stock under the symbols "VZ wi" and "VZ.V" will continue through the close of business today. As a result, if a Verizon stockholder sells shares of Verizon common stock under the symbol "VZ" through the close of business today, the Verizon stockholder will continue to be selling both his or her shares of Verizon common stock and the associated right to receive shares of Frontier common stock in the merger of New Communications and Frontier.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, NASDAQ:VZ), headquartered in New York, is a global leader in delivering broadband and other wireless and wireline communications services to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving nearly 93 million customers nationwide. Verizon also provides converged communications, information and entertainment services over America's most advanced fiber-optic network, and delivers innovative, seamless business solutions to customers around the world. A Dow 30 company, Verizon last year generated consolidated revenues of more than $107 billion. For more information, visit www.verizon.com.
