EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 4 (this
Schedule 13D
) is being jointly filed on behalf of SoftBank Corp., a Japanese
kabushiki kaisha
(
SoftBank
), Starburst I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank (
Starburst I
) and Galaxy Investment Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of SoftBank (
Galaxy
, and together with SoftBank and Starburst I, the
Reporting Persons
, and each a
Reporting Person
) with respect to Sprint Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(referred to herein as
New Sprint
or the
Issuer
). This Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D filed by SoftBank, Starburst I, New Sprint and Starburst III, Inc., a Kansas corporation (
Merger
Sub
) on October 25, 2012, as amended on April 22, 2013 and June 11, 2013, and as amended and restated on July 12, 2013 (as amended and restated, the
Original 13D
), which relates to the common stock of
New Sprint, par value $0.01 per share (the
New Sprint Common Stock
).
In connection with the completion of
the Merger, as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 15, 2012, by and among Sprint Nextel Corporation (
Sprint Nextel
), SoftBank, Starburst I, New Sprint, and Merger Sub, as amended on November 29,
2012, April 12, 2013 and June 10, 2013 (as amended, the
Merger Agreement
, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2 through 99.5 and incorporated into Items 2 through 6 of this Schedule 13D by reference),
Merger Sub was merged into Sprint Nextel, New Sprint became the parent company of Sprint Nextel, with Sprint Nextel becoming its wholly owned subsidiary, and Sprint Nextel changed its name to Sprint Communications, Inc. In connection
with the Merger and by operation of
Rule 12g-3(a)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act
), New Sprint is the successor issuer to Sprint
Nextel and has succeeded to the attributes of Sprint Nextel, including Sprint Nextels Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission
) file number (001-04721). The New Sprint Common Stock is deemed to be registered under
Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and New Sprint is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and files reports and other information with the Commission using the
Commission file number previously used by Sprint Nextel.
This Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect purchases of New Sprint
Common Stock by Galaxy pursuant to a Rule 10b-18 Purchase Agreement (the
Purchase Agreement
) entered into by and between Galaxy and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (
JPMS
) on August 1, 2013. Pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, Galaxy, through JPMS, intends to acquire approximately 2% of the outstanding shares of New Sprint Common Stock in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act (such purchases, the
Rule 10b-18
Purchases
). The Rule 10b-18 Purchases are intended to increase SoftBanks beneficial ownership in New Sprint to approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of New Sprint Common Stock
(not including the shares of New Sprint Common Stock underlying the Warrant, as defined below).
The Purchase Agreement is
subject to immediate termination by either party upon verbal or written notice to the other party. The Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.8, is incorporated into this Schedule 13D by reference. Other than as set
forth below, all Items in the Original 13D are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Original 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 of the Original 13D is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) and (f) This Schedule 13D is being jointly
filed on behalf of SoftBank, Starburst I and Galaxy.
The New Sprint Common Stock reported on this Schedule 13D is owned
directly by Starburst I and Galaxy, as described in Item 5 to this Schedule 13D. SoftBank is included as a Reporting Person solely because it is the sole owner of both Starburst I and Galaxy. Pursuant to (i) SoftBanks ownership
of Starburst I and Galaxy, (ii) the Merger Agreement, (iii) the issuance by New Sprint to Starburst I of the New Sprint Warrant, dated July 10, 2013 (the
Warrant
, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6
and incorporated into Items 2 through 6 of this Schedule 13D by reference), (iv) the Rule 10b-18 Purchases by Galaxy and (v)
Rule 13d-5(b)(1)
under the Exchange Act, SoftBank, Starburst I and Galaxy
may be deemed to be a group and such group may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, of all of the New Sprint Common Stock beneficially owned by such
group. Starburst I expressly disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to the shares of New Sprint Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by SoftBank and Galaxy, except to the extent of Starburst Is direct pecuniary
interest in the shares of New Sprint Common Stock directly beneficially owned by Starburst I. Galaxy expressly disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to the shares of New Sprint Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by SoftBank and
Starburst I, except to the extent of Galaxys direct pecuniary interest in the shares of New Sprint Common Stock directly beneficially owned by Galaxy.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The Reporting Persons own (directly or by being deemed a beneficial owner) the New Sprint Common Stock pursuant to (i) a
reclassification exempt under Rule 16b-7 under the Exchange Act, in which New Sprint Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
New Sprint Class B Common Stock
), held by Starburst I was reclassified into
3,076,525,523 shares of New Sprint Common Stock, (ii) the issuance by New Sprint to Starburst I of the Warrant, which is subject to anti-dilution adjustment, as described in the Warrant and (iii) the Rule 10b-18 Purchases made by Galaxy.
SoftBank financed the acquisition of New Sprint Class B Common Stock by Starburst I through a combination of borrowings under
a bridge loan agreement dated December 18, 2012 with Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. (now Mizuho Bank, Ltd.), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. and Deutsche Bank AG, Tokyo Branch; proceeds from a global
offering of senior U.S. dollar and euro notes on April 23, 2013; and proceeds from Japanese domestic offerings of yen-denominated unsecured corporate bonds on March 1, 2013, March 12, 2013 and June 20, 2013.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, no additional consideration was payable in connection with the issuance to Starburst I of the Warrant
to purchase 54,579,924 shares of New Sprint Common Stock at a price of $5.25 per share. The Warrant is exercisable at any time until July 10, 2018.
Between August 1, 2013 and August 5, 3013, Galaxy purchased 28,808,212 shares of New Sprint Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $187,599,575.52,
exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. Galaxys Rule 10b-18 Purchases were financed from SoftBanks general working capital.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Purpose of the Transaction
SoftBank may be deemed a beneficial owner of the New Sprint Common Stock in connection with the Merger and the subsequent reclassification described in Item 3 to this Schedule 13D, the issuance of the
Warrant, and, through Galaxy, the shares of New Sprint Common Stock acquired through the Rule 10b-18 Purchases. The Merger is intended to make Sprint a stronger, more competitive company that will deliver significant benefits to U.S. consumers based
on SoftBanks expertise in the deployment of next-generation wireless networks and track record of success in taking share in mature markets from larger telecommunications competitors.
Starburst I directly owns the New Sprint Common Stock in connection with the Merger and the subsequent reclassification described in Item
3 to this Schedule 13D, and may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of New Sprint Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.
On August 1, 2013, Galaxy commenced making Rule 10b-18 Purchases pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. As of August 5, 2013, Galaxy had directly acquired 28,808,212 shares of New Sprint Common Stock, or
approximately 0.73% of the outstanding shares of New Sprint Common Stock.
Plans or Proposals
The Reporting Persons, as stockholders in New Sprint, intend to review their investment in New Sprint and have discussions with
representatives of New Sprint and/or other stockholders of New Sprint from time to time and, as a result thereof, may at any time and from time to time determine to take any available course of action and may take any steps to implement any such
course of action. Such review, discussions, actions or steps may involve one or more of the types of transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, including purchase or sale of New Sprint Common
Stock, business combination or other extraordinary corporate transactions, sales or purchases of material assets, changes in the board of directors or management of New Sprint, changes to New Sprints business or corporate structure, shared
service agreements, collaborations, joint ventures and other business arrangements between or involving SoftBank and New Sprint. Any action or actions the Reporting Persons might undertake in respect of the New Sprint Common Stock will be dependent
upon the Reporting Persons review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price level and liquidity of the New Sprint Common Stock; general market and economic conditions; ongoing evaluation of New Sprints business,
financial condition, operations, prospects and strategic alternatives; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; tax considerations; and other factors and future developments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to change their intentions with respect to any or all of such matters.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
