Sprint Corporation (NYSE:S), today announced the early tender results and upsizing of the previously announced tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sprint Communications, Inc. (the “Company”), for the Company’s 9.000% Guaranteed Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and the Company’s 8.375% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes, the “Notes”). The Company has amended the terms of the Tender Offers to increase the combined aggregate principal amount of Notes subject to the Tender Offers (the “Aggregate Maximum Amount”) from $1,000,000,000 to $1,700,000,000 and to increase the aggregate principal amount acceptance sublimit applicable to the 2018 Notes (the “2018 Notes Sublimit”) from $500,000,000 to $1,200,000,000.

The aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes and 2017 Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2017 (the “Early Tender Date”) and the aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes that are, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, expected to be accepted for purchase by the Company on May 23, 2017 are specified in the table below.

It is expected that, because the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Date exceeds the 2018 Notes Sublimit, as amended as described above, no additional 2018 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase and 2018 Notes not accepted, including 2018 Notes not accepted because of proration, will be returned promptly.

For any 2017 Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and at or prior to 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on June 6, 2017 (the “Expiration Date”) settlement, subject to pro ration, will occur on the Final Settlement Date, which is expected to be on June 7, 2017. Holders tendering 2017 Notes after the Early Tender Date will only receive the Tender Offer Consideration of $985.70. As of the Early Tender Date, an aggregate principal amount of $112,457,000 of the 2017 Notes remain available to be purchased in the Tender Offer for the 2017 Notes pursuant to the Aggregate Maximum Amount.
