SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY 500 Shentel Way Edinburg, Virginia 22824 Annual Meeting of Shareholders April 30, 2024 SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT Dear Shareholders, On March 14, 2024, we filed our definitive proxy statement for our upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and provided access to our proxy materials, including our definitive proxy statement, the proxy card and our 2023 Annual Report to Shareholders, over the Internet. Proposal 5 on the notice and proxy card for the 2024 Annual Meeting relates to the proposal to approve our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). Our Board of Directors recommends voting FOR this proposal. We are providing the following additional information to help shareholders evaluate the 2024 Plan. This additional information supplements the information in Proposal 5 regarding the 2024 Plan in, and should be read in conjunction with, the definitive proxy statement. This additional information is being filed with the SEC and is first being made available to our shareholders on April 5, 2024. We are providing this additional information to clarify that the 2024 Plan requires shareholder approval to reprice outstanding options or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). As stated in the definitive proxy statement in Proposal 5 under the heading “Amendment; Termination,” “[o]ur shareholders must approve any amendment if such approval is required under applicable law or stock exchange requirements (including the repricing of outstanding options and SARs).” A copy of the 2024 Plan is attached to these additional proxy materials as Appendix A, in which Section 4(b) has been clarified to eliminate the language that indicated that repricing without shareholder approval might be allowed pursuant to the 2024 Plan. The copy of the 2024 Plan attached to these additional proxy materials as Appendix A replaces the version previously filed as Appendix II to the definitive proxy statement. Except as specifically amended herein, all information in the definitive proxy statement remains unchanged. No other changes have been made to the definitive proxy statement. Based on the foregoing, our Board of Directors continues to recommend a vote FOR Proposal 5, which seeks approval of the 2024 Plan. Your vote is important!
