Explanation of responses:

(1)   Each Equity Unit initially consists of a Corporate Unit which includes a purchase contract under which the holder agrees to purchase shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, of ALLTEL Corporation on May 17, 2005.
(2)   The Equity Units were purchased in open market transactions on teh New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
(3)   The amount and number of shares underlying the security is based on the settlement rate in effect on May 17, 2005. The settlement rate will be calculated, subject to certain adjustments, as follows: - if the applicable market value (as defined below) of ALLTEL Corporation's common stock is equal to or greater than the threshold appreciation price of $60.39, the settlement rate will be .8280 shares of ALLTEL Corporation's common stock; - if the applicable market value fo ALLTEL Corporation's common stock is less than the threshold appreciation price but greater than the reference price (as defined below), the settlement rate will be equal to the stated amount of $50 divided by the applicable market value; and - if the applicable market value is less than or equal to the reference price, the settlement rate will be 1.0101 shares of ALLTEL Corporation's common stock. The applicable market value means the average of the closing price per share of ALLTEL Corporation's common stock on each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding May 17, 2002. The reference price means $49.50, which is the last reported sale price of ALLTEL Corporation's common stock on the NYSE on april 30, 2002.
