Amendment Description	This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (the “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2020 (the “Original Filing”) by Cincinnati Bell Inc. ("Cincinnati Bell," “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”).  We are filing the Amendment to present the information required by Part III of Form 10-K as we will not file our definitive proxy statement within 120 days of the end of our year ended December 31, 2019.  In addition, the Company is revising Item 1A. “Risk Factors” to add risk factors regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) and to amend certain risk factors for changes that have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing.  The reference on the cover page of the 2019 Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference of portions of the Company's definitive proxy statement into Part III of the 2019 Form 10-K is hereby deleted.   In addition, as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, updated certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are included as Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4 hereto.  Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.  We are not including the certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.   No other changes have been made to the Form 10-K other than those described above.  This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Form 10-K or modify or update in any way the financial statements, consents or any other disclosures made in the Form 10-K in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above.  Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K.
