REASONS TO VOTE “ AGAINST ” THE CLEARWIRE SPECIAL MEETING PROPOSALS

The following information supplements and, where applicable, replaces the corresponding information in the section “Reasons To Vote ‘ Against ’ the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals” of the Proxy Statement.

Crest continues to solicit proxies from holders of shares of Clearwire Common Stock in opposition to the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger and specifically “ AGAINST ” each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals.

Merger Agreement Proposal . Crest opposes the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger because Crest believes that it would be better for Clearwire to remain a stand-alone company and explore alternative transactions. This opinion is based upon the following factors:

 

   

The Clearwire Board now unanimously recommends that you vote “ AGAINST ” each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals.

 

   

In Crest’s view, Clearwire should not be locked-up until the contest for control of Sprint is resolved because both DISH and SoftBank suggested in public statements that ownership of Clearwire is among the primary reasons for their desire to acquire control of Sprint. A rejection of the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger and termination of the Sprint Merger Agreement would free Clearwire of the Sprint Merger Agreement’s restrictive covenants and would enable it to conduct a direct competitive bidding process for Clearwire.

 

   

The valuations of the financial advisors of the Clearwire Board, Evercore Group, L.L.C. (“ Evercore ”), and of its Special Committee, Centerview Partners LLC (“ Centerview ”), suggested that the implied equity value of Clearwire could be significantly higher than the $3.40 offered by Sprint. According to the Clearwire Schedule 14D-9, Evercore and Centerview prepared, among other things, discounted cash flow analyses for two sets of projections provided by Clearwire’s management. One set of projections, which each of these advisors referred to as the SCC, was based on the assumption that Sprint will continue to be Clearwire’s only primary wholesale customer. The other set of projections, which each of these advisors referred to as the MCC, was based on the assumption that Clearwire will be able to source additional large wholesale customers in addition to Sprint. These analyses resulted in an implied equity value range of approximately ($1.91) to $3.14 per share based on the SCC and $3.81 to $16.77 per share based on the MCC according to Evercore and approximately ($2.25) to $0.68 per share based on the SCC and $3.26 to $13.93 per share based on the MCC according to Centerview. Other various financial analyses performed by Evercore and Centerview resulted in ranges of an implied equity value of $1.31 to $3.91 per share (according to Evercore) and $1.55 to $3.75 per share (according to Centerview). For more information regarding the financial analyses performed by Evercore and Centerview, please see “Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Special Committee” and “Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors” in the Clearwire Schedule 14D-9.

Other Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals . Crest believes that the other Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals are a group of related proposals whose purpose is to facilitate, or which are conditioned upon the completion of, the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger, which Crest opposes in its present form for the reasons stated in the section “Other Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals” of the Proxy Statement.

Given the reasons described above, Crest believes that Clearwire stockholders would be better off if each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals were voted down. Use your GOLD proxy card to vote “ AGAINST ” the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger by voting “ AGAINST ” each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals.

The following information supplements and, where applicable, replaces the corresponding questions and answers in the section “Voting Procedures” of the Proxy Statement and Supplement No. 1.

Q: Why am I receiving this Supplement No. 2 and a new GOLD proxy card?

A: You have been sent this Supplement No. 2 and a new GOLD proxy card because on June 12, 2013, the Clearwire Board unanimously resolved to change its recommendation to the stockholders of Clearwire to vote “ AGAINST ” each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals in light of the tender offer by DISH to acquire all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $4.40 per share in cash, as described in the Clearwire Schedule 14D-9.

Q: Has the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger changed?

A: No. The terms of the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger have not changed. The Merger Consideration continues to be $3.40 per share.

Q: How is my vote on the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger related to the DISH Tender Offer?

A: The termination of the Sprint Merger Agreement and Sprint Note Purchase Agreement it is a condition to the DISH Tender Offer, and, according to the Clearwire Schedule 14D-9, if the stockholders of Clearwire vote “ AGAINST ” the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Clearwire Board intends to terminate the Sprint Merger Agreement and the Sprint Note Purchase Agreement. Conversely, in the Schedule TO, DISH reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw or terminate the DISH Tender Offer in the event that the Merger Agreement Proposal will be approved.

Q: What will I receive if the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger is completed?

A: Upon completion of the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger, you will not own any shares of the capital stock of the surviving corporation. Instead, you will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each share of Class A Common Stock that you own, unless you properly exercise, and do not withdraw, your appraisal rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ DGCL ”), with respect to such shares. To exercise your appraisal rights, you must submit a written demand for appraisal to Clearwire before a vote is taken on the Sprint Merger Agreement, you must not submit a proxy voting FOR the Merger Agreement Proposal, or otherwise vote FOR the Merger Agreement Proposal, you must hold your shares continuously through the effective time of the Proposed Sprint-Clearwire Merger, and you must otherwise comply with Section 262 of the DGCL.

Q: How does the Merger Consideration compare to the Offer Price and the market price of Clearwire’s Class A Common Stock as of the mailing of this Supplement No. 2?

A: The Merger Consideration represents approximately a 23% discount to the Offer Price and approximately a 27% discount to the closing price of $4.63 per share of the Class A Common Stock on June 14, 2013, the most recent practicable trading date before this proxy statement supplement was mailed to you.

Q: When and where is the Special Meeting?

A: The Special Meeting of stockholders of Clearwire is scheduled to be reconvened on June 24, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time at the Kirkland Performing Arts Center, 350 Kirkland Avenue, Kirkland, Washington, 98033 unless further adjourned by Clearwire.

Please note that if you are a beneficial owner and wish to vote in person at the Special Meeting, you must have a legal proxy from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee.

Q: What if I submitted my vote using a white proxy card?

A: The Clearwire Board previously sent white proxy cards to you. The white proxy cards contain the Clearwire Board’s prior recommendation that you vote in favor of each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals. If you previously submitted your vote using a white proxy card, we encourage you to cast your vote using the GOLD proxy card, which will revoke your vote on the white proxy card, at any time prior to the vote on the matters at the Special Meeting or, if the Special Meeting is continued, adjourned or postponed, the date and time of such continued, adjourned or postponed meeting. If you previously submitted a proxy to us by signing and returning a GOLD proxy card, do not sign or return any white proxy card unless you intend to change your vote, because only your latest-dated proxy will be counted.

Q: I received a blue proxy card. Should I sign and mail it?

A. While blue proxy cards were sent to you by the Clearwire Board who also recommends that you cast your vote “ AGAINST ” each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals, we encourage you not to sign and mail the blue proxy card and to instead sign and mail the enclosed GOLD proxy card.

Q: What if I submitted my vote using a blue proxy card?

A. Blue proxy cards are being solicited by the Clearwire Board to vote “ AGAINST ” each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals. If Clearwire receives a blue proxy card, your shares will be voted by Clearwire as indicated in your voting preference selection. If you already have voted against each of the proposals using a properly executed blue proxy card or otherwise voted against each of the Clearwire Special Meeting Proposals over the Internet or by telephone, you do not need to do anything.

Q: Can I change or revoke my vote?

A: Yes. You have the right to revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised by:

 

   

submitting another proxy at a later date through any of the methods available to you, including by signing, dating and returning the enclosed GOLD proxy card; or

Q: What should I do if I have already voted?

A. If you have already voted your shares on the GOLD proxy card or blue proxy card, you do not need to vote again.
