Windstream Corp.
WIN today entered into an agreement with the state of Oklahoma to
dismiss bribery and conspiracy charges contained in an indictment returned by
a state grand jury in August.
The charges stemmed from a customer event that Windstream hosted at the 2007
NCAA Final Four men's basketball championship for business customers,
including the Broken Arrow School District.
The company denied any wrongdoing but entered into today's agreement in the
interest of reaching a compromise acceptable to it and to the state. As part
of the agreement, Windstream pledged to take certain steps affirming its
commitment to full compliance with all federal, state and local laws.
