Dear Pioneer Members,


As you may be aware, Pioneer Telephone Cooperative recently acquired 100% of the stock
of Monroe Telephone Company, whose service area borders that of Pioneer. As part of this
acquisition, Pioneer is migrating Monroe customers to Pioneer, and those customers will
become members of Pioneer Telephone Cooperative.


Following the customer migration, the remaining assets of Monroe Telephone Company
will consist primarily of its physical and real property. After reviewing our options, we
believe it is in the Cooperative's best interest to merge these assets into Pioneer Telephone
Cooperative. This merger will create operational efficiencies and help reduce costs over
the long term.


To move this process forward, the Monroe Telephone Company Board of Directors has
approved the proposed merger, and we are now seeking your approval as well.
Your vote is important and will help determine whether the assets of Monroe Telephone
Company will be merged into Pioneer Telephone Cooperative.


Only one vote may be submitted per eligible member. If both an electronic ballot and a
paper ballot are received from the same member, only the first valid ballot received will be
counted.


Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important decision. Your involvement
helps ensure the continued strength and success of your cooperative.
