Citizens Communications Will Change Its Name to Frontier Communications Corporation

  
    
  
  
    
      Citizens Communications Company (NYSE:CZN) announced that at its Annual 
      Meeting on May 15, 2008 stockholders overwhelmingly approved changing 
      the company’s name to Frontier Communications 
      Corporation. The change will become effective on July 31, 2008. That 
      day, the company’s stock symbol on the New 
      York Stock Exchange will become “FTR” 
      and the company’s Chairman and CEO, Maggie 
      Wilderotter, along with the Board of Directors, is scheduled to ring the 
      opening bell.
    
    
      “The name change will align our corporate name 
      with the brand name under which we operate and are known in our markets. 
      This change allows us to leverage the strength of our brand, and link 
      our corporate identity with our customers and our employees,” 
      said Ms. Wilderotter. She added, “While our 
      corporate name will change, all core elements of the organization remain 
      the same. As Frontier Communications, we will continue to provide all of 
      our constituents -- our shareholders, our customers, our communities and 
      our employees -- with the highest level of products and service.”
    
    
      The new Frontier corporate identity, including a new logo and website, 
      will be launched on July 31st. “The 
      Frontier logo, already used in our local markets, graphically 
      communicates our promise to connect communities,” 
      Ms. Wilderotter remarked. “As a local, 
      community-based communications company, Frontier is in the business of 
      bringing people together. Frontier will continue to offer the best 
      voice, broadband data and video services to our residential and business 
      customers. Our unified corporate branding is a way to visually 
      communicate that we are keeping pace with new products and services that 
      our customers want.”
