and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031
that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),

FOR AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF ITS OUTSTANDING

2.250% Senior Notes due 2026, 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029
and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031,
as applicable, that were issued and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“T-Mobile USA” or the “Issuer”) and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile US” or “Parent”), hereby offers to exchange, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, up to $800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Exchange Notes”), $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Exchange Notes”), and $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Exchange Notes” and, together with the 2026 Exchange Notes and the 2029 Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) for an equal amount of its outstanding 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Original Notes”), 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Original Notes”) and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Original Notes” and together with the 2026 Original Notes and the 2029 Original Notes, the “Original Notes”). We refer to the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes, collectively, as the “Notes.”
The Issuer’s obligations under the Original Notes are, and under the Exchange Notes will be, guaranteed (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”) by (x) T-Mobile US and each wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer that is not an Excluded Subsidiary (as defined herein) and either (i) is or becomes an obligor of the Credit Agreement (as defined herein) or (ii) issues or guarantees certain capital markets debt securities, and (y) any future direct or indirect subsidiary of T-Mobile US or any subsidiary thereof that owns capital stock of the Issuer.
The Original Notes and the Guarantees thereof are, and the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees thereof will be: the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ unsubordinated unsecured obligations; senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of the Issuer or any guarantor to the extent that such future indebtedness provides by its terms that it is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantees; equal in right of payment with any of the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities that are not by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including, without limitation, obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, the Credit Agreement and the Tower Obligations (each as defined herein); effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Issuer or any guarantor, including, without limitation, obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and the Credit Agreement, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and other obligations of the subsidiaries of T-Mobile US that are not obligors with respect to the Notes, including the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes (as defined herein), factoring arrangements and tower obligations.
The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will generally be freely transferable and do not contain certain terms with respect to registration rights and additional interest. The Exchange Notes will be issued under the indentures governing the Original Notes. For a description of the principal terms of the Exchange Notes, see “Description of Notes.”
The 2026 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 on January 14, 2021 in an offering registered under the Securities Act (the “Existing Registered 2026 Notes”). The 2029 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000 on March 23, 2021 in an offering registered under the Securities Act (the “Existing Registered 2029 Notes”). The 2031 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,350,000,000 on March 23, 2021 in an offering registered under the Securities Act (the “Existing Registered 2031 Notes” and collectively with the Existing Registered 2026 Notes and the Existing Registered 2029 Notes, the “Existing Notes”). The 2026 Original Notes, the 2029 Original Notes and the 2031 Original Notes are consolidated with and form a single series with the Existing Registered 2026 Notes, the Existing Registered 2029 Notes and the Existing Registered 2031 Notes, respectively, and have the same respective terms other than the settlement date, offering price, initial interest payment date and registration rights; however, unless and until exchanged for the applicable series of Exchange Notes pursuant to this exchange offer, the Original Notes will have separate CUSIP numbers from, and will not be fungible with, the applicable series of Existing Notes.
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on     , 2022, unless we extend the offer. At any time prior to the expiration time, you may withdraw your tender of any Original Notes; otherwise, such tender is irrevocable. We will receive no cash proceeds from the exchange offer.
Any Original Notes not tendered and accepted in the exchange offer will remain outstanding. To the extent Original Notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, your ability to sell untendered, and tendered but unaccepted, Original Notes could be adversely affected. Following consummation of the exchange offer, the Original Notes will continue to be subject to their existing transfer restrictions and we will generally have no further obligations to provide for the registration of the Original Notes under the Securities Act. We cannot guarantee that an active trading market will develop or give assurances as to the liquidity of the trading market for either the Original Notes or the Exchange Notes. We do not intend to apply for listing of either the Original Notes or the Exchange Notes on any exchange or market.
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes received in exchange for the Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 90 days following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Investing in the Exchange Notes involves certain risks. Please read “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of this prospectus.
This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are first being mailed to all holders of the Original Notes on or about    , 2022.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is    , 2022.

Additionally, you should read the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus and in documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus before making an investment decision.
Our Company
We are America’s supercharged Un-carrier. Through our Un-carrier strategy, we have disrupted the wireless communications services industry, by actively engaging with and listening to our customers and eliminating their existing pain points, including providing them with added value, an exceptional experience and implementing signature Un-carrier initiatives that have changed wireless for good. We ended annual service contracts, overages, unpredictable international roaming fees, data buckets and so much more. We are inspired by a relentless customer experience focus, consistently leading the wireless industry in customer care by delivering award-winning customer experience with our “Team of Experts,” which drives our record-high customer satisfaction levels while enabling operational efficiencies.
As the Un-carrier, we are on a mission to build America’s best 5G network, offering customers unrivalled coverage and capacity where they live, work and play. Our network is the foundation of our success and powers everything we do. We are leveraging our mid-band spectrum licenses, including 1700 MHz Advanced Wireless Services (“AWS”), 1900 MHz Personal Communications Services (“PCS”) and 2.5 GHz, our millimeter-wave licenses and our foundational layer of low-band spectrum, including 600 MHz, 700 MHz and 800 MHz, to create a “layer cake” of spectrum to provide an unmatched 5G experience to our customers. We believe this layer cake will broaden and deepen our nationwide 5G network enabling accelerated innovation and increased competition in the U.S. wireless, video and broadband industries. As a result of the Merger, we have achieved and expect to continue to achieve significant synergies and cost reductions by eliminating redundancies within our network as well as other business processes and operations.
We continue to expand the footprint and improve the quality of our network, providing outstanding wireless experiences for customers who will not have to compromise on quality and value. Going forward, it is this network that will allow us to deliver new, innovative products and services with the same customer experience focus and industry-disrupting mentality that has redefined the wireless communications services industry in the United States in the customers’ favor.
As of December 31, 2021, we provide wireless services to 108.7 million postpaid and prepaid customers and generate revenue by providing affordable wireless communications services to these customers, as well as a wide selection of wireless devices and accessories. Our most significant expenses relate to operating and expanding our network, providing a full range of devices, acquiring and retaining high-quality customers and compensating employees. We provide services, devices and accessories across our flagship brands, T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile, through our owned and operated retail stores, as well as through our websites (www.t-mobile.com and www.metrobyt-mobile.com), T-Mobile app, customer care channels and through national retailers. In addition, we sell devices to dealers and other third-party distributors for resale through independent third-party retail outlets and a variety of third-party websites. The information on or accessible through our websites is not incorporated into or part of this prospectus (except for our SEC reports expressly incorporated by reference herein).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Exchange Notes will be accepted for clearance through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with a new CUSIP and ISIN number and common code for each series of the Exchange Notes. You should read the discussions under the headings “The Exchange Offer” and “Description of Notes,” respectively, for more information about the exchange offer and Exchange Notes. After the exchange offer is completed, you will no longer be entitled to any exchange or, with limited exceptions, registration rights for your Original Notes.
The Exchange Offer
T-Mobile USA is offering to exchange any and all of its 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026, 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031, all of which have been registered under the Securities Act, for an equal amount of its outstanding unregistered 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026, 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031, as applicable.
The 2026 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 on January 14, 2021. The 2029 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000 on March 23, 2021. The 2031 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,350,000,000 on March 23, 2021. The 2026 Original Notes, the 2029 Original Notes and the 2031 Original Notes are consolidated with and form a single series with the Existing Registered 2026 Notes, the Existing Registered 2029 Notes and the Existing Registered 2031 Notes, respectively, and have the same respective terms other than the settlement date, offering price, initial interest payment date and registration rights; however, unless and until exchanged for the applicable series of Exchange Notes pursuant to this exchange offer, the Original Notes will have separate CUSIP numbers from, and will not be fungible with, the applicable series of Existing Notes.
Original Notes may only be exchanged in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
As of the date of this prospectus, $800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the unregistered 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026, $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the unregistered 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029, and $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the unregistered 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 are outstanding.
The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to those of the Original Notes, except the Exchange Notes will not be subject to transfer restrictions and holders of the Exchange Notes, with limited exceptions, will have no registration rights. Also, the Exchange Notes will not include provisions

contained in the Original Notes that required payment of additional interest in the event we failed to satisfy our registration obligations with respect to the Original Notes.
Original Notes that are not tendered for exchange will continue to be subject to transfer restrictions and, with limited exceptions, will not have registration rights. Therefore, the market for secondary resales of Original Notes that are not tendered for exchange is likely to be substantially limited. However, no market currently exists for the Exchange Notes and we can offer no assurance that such a market will develop.
T-Mobile USA will issue registered Exchange Notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.
The exchange offer is not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirements or approvals other than securities laws and blue sky laws.
Expiration Time
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on    , 2022, unless we decide to extend the expiration time. Please read “The Exchange Offer—Extensions, Delay in Acceptance, Termination or Amendment” for more information about extending the expiration time.
Withdrawal of Tenders
You may withdraw your tender of Original Notes at any time prior to the expiration time. We will return to you, without charge, promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer any Original Notes that you tendered but that were not accepted for exchange.
Conditions to the Exchange Offer
The exchange offer is subject to certain customary conditions, which we may amend or waive. We have the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate or withdraw the exchange offer if any of the conditions described in this prospectus are not satisfied or waived. The exchange offer is not conditioned on any minimum aggregate principal amount of Original Notes being tendered.
Please read “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” for more information about the conditions to the exchange offer.
Procedures for Tendering Original Notes
If your Original Notes are held through DTC and you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you may do so through DTC’s automated tender offer program. If you tender under this program, you will agree to be bound by the letter of transmittal that we are providing with this prospectus as though you had signed the letter of transmittal. By signing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:
• any Exchange Notes that you receive will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;
4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violations of the Securities Act;
• you are not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of us or any guarantor, or if you are such an affiliate, you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable;
• you are not engaged in and do not intend to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes; and
• if you are a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for your own account in exchange for Original Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities and that you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.
Special Procedures for Beneficial Owner
If you own a beneficial interest in Original Notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender the Original Notes in the exchange offer, please contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf and to comply with our instructions described in this prospectus.
Resales
Except as indicated in this prospectus, we believe that the Exchange Notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if:
• you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business;
• you are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes; and
• you are not an affiliate of the Issuer or any guarantor.
Our belief is based on existing interpretations of the Securities Act by the SEC staff set forth in several no-action letters to third parties that are not related to us. We do not intend to seek our own no-action letter, and there is no assurance that the SEC staff would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Notes. If this interpretation is inapplicable, and you transfer any Exchange Notes without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from such requirements, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not assume, or indemnify holders against, such liability.

See “Plan of Distribution.”

Ranking
The Exchange Notes:
• will be general unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer;
• will be senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of the Issuer to the extent that such future indebtedness provides by its terms that it is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes;
• will rank equal in right of payment with any of the Issuer’s existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities that are not by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including, without limitation, the obligations under any Original Notes that remain outstanding after the exchange offer, the
8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes (as defined under “Description of Other Indebtedness and Certain Financing Transactions—Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes”), the Credit Agreement and the Tower Obligations;
• will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Issuer, including, without limitation, obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and the Credit Agreement, in each case to the extent of the value of the Issuer’s assets securing such indebtedness;
• will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and other obligations of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that are not obligors with respect to the Notes, including the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes, factoring arrangements and tower obligations; and
• will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined under “Description of Notes—Certain Definitions”).
See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuer’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.”
Note Guarantees
The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed by (x) Parent and any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer that is not an Excluded Subsidiary and either (i) is or becomes an obligor of the Credit Agreement or (ii) issues or guarantees certain capital markets debt securities, and (y) any future direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent or any subsidiary thereof that owns capital stock of the Issuer. See “Description of Notes—Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees—The Note Guarantees.” Each Guarantee of the Exchange Notes by a guarantor:
• will be a general unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of such guarantor;
• will be senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of that guarantor to the extent that such future indebtedness provides by its terms that it is subordinated in right of payment to such guarantor’s Guarantee;
• will be equal in right of payment with any of that guarantor’s existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities that are not by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including, without limitation, obligations under the
9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes and the Credit Agreement;
• will be effectively subordinated to any Subsidiary Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness, including, without limitation, obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and the Credit Agreement, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor securing such Indebtedness (as defined under “Description of Notes—Certain Definitions”); and
• will be structurally subordinated to all of the indebtedness and other obligations of any subsidiaries of that guarantor that are not obligors with respect to the Notes.
See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Notes and the Guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and borrowings under the Credit Agreement” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuer’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.”
If Parent has achieved an investment grade corporate rating and the Exchange Notes would have an investment grade rating after giving effect to the proposed release of the subsidiary guarantees from two of the following: Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) and certain other conditions are met, the Issuer may elect to have the subsidiary guarantees permanently released. There can be no assurance that Parent or the Exchange Notes will ever have investment grade ratings, or that, if they do, Parent or the Notes will maintain these ratings. See “Description of Notes—Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees—The Note Guarantees.”
Certain Covenants
The indentures governing the Exchange Notes will contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries to:
• incur more debt;
• pay dividends and make distributions;
• make certain investments;
• repurchase stock;
• create liens or other encumbrances;
• enter into transactions with affiliates;
10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• enter into agreements that restrict dividends or distributions from subsidiaries;
• merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets; and
• grant a subsidiary guarantee of debt incurred under the Credit Agreement or certain capital markets debt without also providing a guarantee of the Exchange Notes.
These covenants will be subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions that are described later in this prospectus under the caption “Description of Notes—Certain Covenants.” If the Exchange Notes are assigned an investment grade rating by at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will cease to apply and will not be later reinstated even if the rating of the Exchange Notes should subsequently decline, and the Issuer may elect to have other covenants permanently changed. There can be no assurance that Parent or the Exchange Notes will ever have investment grade ratings, or that, if they do, Parent or the Exchange Notes will maintain these ratings. See “Description of Notes—Certain Covenants—Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade.”
Asset Sale Proceeds
If the Issuer or its restricted subsidiaries engage in certain types of asset sales, the Issuer generally must use the net cash proceeds from the sale either to make investments in its business (through capital expenditures, acquisitions or otherwise) or to repay permanently debt under credit facilities, including borrowings under the Credit Agreement, or secured by assets sold within a certain period of time after such sale or, prepay other senior debt and the Exchange Notes on a pro rata basis or prepay debt of a non-guarantor restricted subsidiary (if the assets sold were the assets of a non-guarantor restricted subsidiary); otherwise the Issuer must make an offer to purchase, on a pro rata basis, a principal amount of the Exchange Notes and other pari passu indebtedness equal to the excess net cash proceeds. The purchase price of the Exchange Notes would be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date. See “Description of Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales.”
Change of Control Triggering Event
If the Issuer experiences a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined under “Description of Notes—Certain Definitions”), the Issuer must make an offer to each holder to repurchase the Exchange Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. See “Description of Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control Triggering Event.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
Prior to making a decision to participate in the exchange offer, you should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the risks and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the “Risk Factors” in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 11, 2022. If any of the risks described in this prospectus, or the risks described in any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of the Notes could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to the Exchange Offer
Your Original Notes will not be accepted for exchange if you fail to follow the exchange offer procedures.
We will issue Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer only after a timely receipt of your Original Notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents. Therefore, if you want to tender your Original Notes, please allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. If we do not receive your Original Notes, letter of transmittal and other required documents by the expiration time of the exchange offer, we will not accept your Original Notes for exchange. We are generally under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of Original Notes for exchange. If there are defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of Original Notes, we may not accept your Original Notes for exchange.
If you do not exchange your Original Notes, your Original Notes will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and you may be unable to sell your outstanding Original Notes.
We did not register the Original Notes and do not intend to do so following the exchange offer. Original Notes that are not tendered will therefore continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and may be transferred only in limited circumstances under applicable securities laws. Because we anticipate that most holders of the Original Notes will elect to exchange their Original Notes for Exchange Notes due to the absence of restrictions on the resale of Exchange Notes under the Securities Act, we anticipate that the liquidity of the market for any Original Notes remaining after the completion of this exchange offer may be substantially limited. If you do not exchange your Original Notes, you will lose your right, except in limited circumstances, to have your Original Notes registered under the federal securities laws. As a result, if you hold Original Notes after the exchange offer, you may be unable to sell your Original Notes and the value of the Original Notes may decline. We have no obligation, except in limited circumstances, and do not currently intend, to file an additional registration statement to cover the resale of Original Notes that did not tender in the exchange offer or to re-offer to exchange the Exchange Notes for Original Notes following the expiration of the exchange offer.
Some persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes.
Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (July 2, 1983), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the Exchange Notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under “Plan of Distribution,” you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your Exchange Notes. In these cases, if you transfer any Exchange Note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your Exchange Notes under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability.
Risks Related to the Notes
Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results, and senior creditors would have a secured claim to any collateral securing the debt owed to them.
We have, and we expect that we will continue to have, a substantial amount of debt. Our ability to make payments on our debt, to repay our indebtedness when due and to fund our capital intensive business and operations and significant planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. There can be
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to us under our borrowings or otherwise. Our ability to produce cash from operations is subject to a number of risks, including:
introduction of new products and services by us or our competitors or changes in service plans or pricing by us or our competitors;
customers’ acceptance of our service offerings;
our ability to control our costs and maintain our current cost structure; and
our ability to continue to grow our customer base and maintain projected levels of churn.
Our debt service obligations could have important material consequences to you, including the following:
limiting our ability to borrow money or sell stock to fund working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions, technological initiatives and other general corporate purposes;
making it more difficult for us to make payments on indebtedness and satisfy obligations under the Notes;
increasing our vulnerability to general economic downturns, including as a result of pandemics and other macroeconomic conditions, and industry conditions and limiting our ability to withstand competitive pressure;
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the communications industry or pursuing growth opportunities;
limiting our ability to increase our capital expenditures to roll out new services or to upgrade our networks to new technologies, such as LTE and 5G;
limiting our ability to purchase additional spectrum, expand existing service areas or develop new metropolitan areas in the future;
reducing the amount of cash available for working capital needs, capital expenditures for existing and new markets and other corporate purposes by requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to the payment of principal of, and interest on, indebtedness; and
placing us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors who are less leveraged than we are.
Any of these risks could impair our ability to fund our operations or limit our ability to obtain additional spectrum, or expand our business as planned, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Any such risks could also have an adverse effect on the trading prices of the Notes.
To the extent we become party to any hedging arrangements, we may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such hedging agreements. The primary credit exposure that we have with respect to such hedging agreements is that a counterparty will default on payments due, which could result in us having to acquire a replacement derivative from a different counterparty at a higher cost or we may be unable to find a suitable replacement. Although counterparties to any hedging agreements may be major financial institutions we would still be exposed to credit risk with these institutions. In addition, any netting and/or set off rights we may have through master netting arrangements with these counterparties may not apply to affiliates of a counterparty with whom we may have various other financial arrangements. If any financial institutions that are parties to any hedging agreements with us were to default on their payment obligations to us, declare bankruptcy or become insolvent, we may be unhedged against the underlying exposures. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, if the counterparties’ and our obligations under any hedging agreements are required to be secured by cash or U.S. Treasury securities, any posting of collateral by us under such arrangements would negatively impact our liquidity. The modification or termination of any such hedging agreements could also negatively impact our liquidity or other financial metrics.
Some of our debt also has a floating rate of interest linked to various indices. If changes in the indices result in interest rate increases, debt service requirements will increase, which could adversely affect our cash flow and operating results.
In addition, any agreements we have and may continue to enter into to limit our exposure to interest rate increases may not offer complete protection from this risk, and any portion of our indebtedness not subject to such agreements would have full exposure to interest rate increases.
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Even with our current levels of indebtedness, we may incur additional indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our leverage.
Although we have substantial indebtedness, we may still be able to incur significantly more debt, including more secured debt, as market conditions and contractual obligations permit, which could further reduce the cash available to us to invest in operations, as a result of increased debt service obligations. The terms of the agreements governing our long-term indebtedness allow for the incurrence of additional indebtedness by us and our subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations. In particular, as of December 31, 2021, we had $5.5 billion available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined under “Description of Other Indebtedness and Certain Financing Transactions—Credit Agreement”). The more leveraged we become, the more we, and in turn the holders of our securities, become exposed to the risks described above in the risk factor entitled “Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results, and senior creditors would have a secured claim to any collateral securing the debt owed to them.”
The Notes and the Guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
The Notes and the Guarantees will be general unsecured, unsubordinated obligations ranking effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt of Parent, the Issuer and of each Subsidiary Guarantor, including the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and borrowings under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. The Notes also will permit us to incur certain additional secured debt.
If the Issuer or a guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any secured debt of the Issuer or that guarantor, including under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and the Credit Agreement, will be entitled to be paid in full from the assets of the Issuer or guarantor, as applicable, securing that debt before any payment may be made with respect to Notes or the Guarantees of such guarantor.
Holders of the Notes will participate ratably in any remaining assets with all other holders of the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ unsecured obligations that are not by their terms subordinated to the Notes, based upon the respective amounts owed. In any of the foregoing events, there may not be sufficient assets to pay the indebtedness and other obligations owed to secured creditors and the amounts due on the Notes. As a result, holders of the Notes would likely receive less, ratably, than holders of secured obligations of the Issuer and the guarantors. It is possible that with respect to the Guarantees, there will be no assets from which claims of holders of the Notes can be satisfied.
The Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuer’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to any existing or future liabilities and other obligations of the Issuer’s or the guarantors’ non-guarantor subsidiaries, including the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes, factoring arrangements and tower obligations. Accordingly, creditors of current and future subsidiaries of the Issuer or the guarantors that are not obligors with respect to the Notes would have claims with respect to the assets of those subsidiaries that would rank structurally senior to the Notes and the Guarantees. In the event of any distribution or payment of assets of such subsidiaries in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, the claims of those creditors would have to be satisfied prior to making any such distribution or payment to the Issuer or the applicable guarantor in respect of direct or indirect equity interests in such subsidiaries. Certain subsidiaries of the Issuer that are prohibited from providing guarantees of the Notes (such as certain designated special purpose entities and a reinsurance subsidiary), as well as non-wholly owned and immaterial subsidiaries do not provide guarantees of the Original Notes and will not provide guarantees of the Notes. See “Description of Notes—Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees—The Note Guarantees.”
In order to service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash, which may not be available to us on attractive terms or at all.
Our ability to meet existing or future debt obligations and to reduce indebtedness will depend on future performance and the other cash requirements of our businesses. Our performance, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic conditions and financial, competitive, business, political, regulatory and other factors, including
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

third party rating agency assessments, that are beyond our control. In addition, our ability to borrow funds in the future to make payments on debt will depend on the satisfaction of covenants in the indentures governing the Notes and the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes and the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, the Credit Agreement, other debt agreements and other agreements we may enter into in the future. Specifically, under the Revolving Credit Facility under our Credit Agreement, we will need to maintain certain financial ratios on a quarterly basis. We cannot assure you that we will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future equity issuances or borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to satisfy financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, service our debt or repay our indebtedness in a timely manner or on favorable or commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to satisfy financial covenants or to generate sufficient cash to timely repay our debt, our lenders could accelerate the maturity of some or all of our outstanding indebtedness. As a result, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our remaining existing indebtedness prior to its maturity. We also expect to need to refinance certain indebtedness. Disruptions in the financial markets, unfavorable rating agency assessments, the general amount of debt being refinanced at the same time, and our financial position and performance could make it more difficult to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable or commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, instability in the global financial markets has from time to time resulted in volatility in the capital markets. This volatility could limit our access to the credit markets, leading to higher borrowing costs or, in some cases, the inability to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Any such failure to obtain additional financing could jeopardize our ability to repay, refinance or reduce debt obligations. If we were able to obtain funds, it may not be on terms and conditions acceptable to us, which could limit or preclude our ability to pursue new opportunities, expand our service, upgrade our networks, engage in acquisitions or purchase additional spectrum, thus limiting our ability to expand our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Further, should we need to raise additional capital, the foreign ownership restrictions mandated by the FCC, and applicable to us, could limit our ability to attract additional equity financing outside the United States.
Upon certain events including a change of control triggering event, we may be required to offer to repurchase all of the Notes, all of the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, all of the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, all of the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes and certain of the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes and to repay amounts owing under the Credit Agreement, and we may not be able to finance such a repurchase or repayment. Not all significant transactions would constitute a change of control triggering event.
We have in the past been the subject of inquiries or offers related to potential strategic transactions (such as an acquisition of the Company), we may be the subject of such inquires or offers in the future, and we may engage in discussions or negotiations regarding such inquiries or offers that may ultimately lead to a transaction. The indentures governing the Original Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes and certain of the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes provide, and the indentures governing the Exchange Notes will provide, that, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, which change of control triggering events include a change of control combined with certain ratings downgrades or withdrawals as described further below, the Issuer will be required to offer to repurchase all Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, all outstanding Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes, the applicable Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes and all outstanding Notes and other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase. See “Description of Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control Triggering Event” and “Description of Other Indebtedness and Certain Financing Transactions.” In addition, any such change of control triggering event is expected to cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement, entitling the lenders to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable. Such a change of control would also trigger repayments with respect to our securitization transactions and capital leases. We may not have access to sufficient funds at the time of the change of control triggering event to make the required repurchases of the Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes and the applicable Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes and to repay outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, or contractual restrictions may not allow such repurchases or repayments.
Not all change of control transactions would trigger these repurchase or repayment obligations. Specifically, these repurchase or repayment obligations would not be triggered unless both (i) such a transaction constitutes a “Change of Control” under the applicable indenture or credit agreement and (ii) such “Change of Control” is accompanied or followed by certain downgrades or withdrawals of the credit rating with respect to the applicable notes (in the case of any such indenture) or T-Mobile USA (in the case of the Credit Agreement). In the event that
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

we undergo a significant corporate transaction that does not constitute a change of control triggering event, the Notes and such other obligations generally would be permitted to remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.
The failure to purchase the Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes or the applicable Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, as required under the respective indentures, would result in defaults under such indentures in addition to any events of default under the Credit Agreement resulting from a change of control triggering event thereunder, any of which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the Exchange Notes. Any such event of default would likely trigger an event of default on other outstanding or future indebtedness.
The indentures governing the Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes and the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, the Credit Agreement and other financing arrangements include or will include restrictive covenants that limit our operating flexibility.
The indentures governing the Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes and the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, the Credit Agreement and other financing arrangements, impose, and the indentures governing the Exchange Notes will impose, significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions, subject in certain cases to customary baskets, exceptions and incurrence-based ratio tests, limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in some transactions. In particular, the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes include, and the indentures governing the Exchange Notes will include, restrictions limiting our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:
incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock;
pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments or investments (although we are able to make significant restricted payments under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes);
sell or buy assets, properties or licenses including by participating in future FCC auctions of spectrum or private sales of spectrum;
develop assets, properties or licenses that we have or in the future may procure;
enter into transactions with affiliates; and
place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments.
In addition, the indentures governing the Original Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes and Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes and the Credit Agreement limit, and the indentures governing the Exchange Notes will limit, our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:
create liens or other encumbrances in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money; and
engage in mergers, business combinations or other transactions.
In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial maintenance covenant, requiring us to maintain a total first lien net leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter of 3.30:1.00 or less. Any future debt that we incur may contain financial maintenance covenants as well. These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain debt financing, repurchase stock, refinance or pay principal on our outstanding debt, complete acquisitions for cash or debt or react to changes in our operating environment or the economy.
Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the indentures governing the Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes or the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, the Credit Agreement or other financing agreements may result in an event of default under these agreements, which in turn may result in defaults or acceleration of obligations under these agreements and other agreements, giving our lenders and other debt holders the right to terminate any commitments they had made to provide us with further funds and to require us to repay all amounts then outstanding. Any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Guarantees may be released upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Guarantee of a guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released in respect of the Notes of any series:
only in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor (i) is not, (ii) is released or relieved as, or (iii) ceases (or substantially concurrently will cease) to be, a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement and under the Existing T-Mobile Secured Notes (as defined under “Description of Notes—Certain Definitions”), except by or as a result of payment under such guarantee or direct obligation;
only in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale or other disposition is not prohibited by the “Asset Sale” provisions of the Indenture;
only in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, if for any reason such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer; provided, that any Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to constitute a Subsidiary Guarantor or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely by virtue of no longer being a wholly-owned subsidiary (a “Partially Disposed Subsidiary”) shall only be released from its Note Guarantee (as defined under “Description of Notes—Certain Definitions”) to the extent that the other person taking an equity interest in such Partially Disposed Subsidiary is not an affiliate of the Issuer that is controlled by Parent, Deutsche Telekom or any of their respective subsidiaries or an employee of any of the foregoing;
upon the legal defeasance, covenant defeasance, or satisfaction and discharge of the indentures governing the Notes as provided under “Description of Notes—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” and “Description of Notes—Satisfaction and Discharge”;
upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that no event of default under the indentures governing the Notes has occurred that is continuing;
upon the merger or consolidation of any guarantor with and into the Issuer or another guarantor that is the surviving person in such merger or consolidation;
in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, at the time of an Investment Grade Event Election (as defined under “Description of Notes—Certain Definitions”); or
if the Issuer designates any restricted subsidiary that is a guarantor to be an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indentures governing the Notes.
If any such Guarantee is released, no holder of the Notes will have a claim as a creditor against the applicable guarantor, and the indebtedness and other liabilities of such former Subsidiary Guarantor will be structurally senior to the claim of any holder of the Notes. See “Description of Notes—Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees—The Note Guarantees.”
The Guarantees may be avoidable and therefore not be enforceable because of fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer laws.
The Guarantees may be subject to review and potential avoidance under federal bankruptcy law or relevant state fraudulent conveyance laws if we or any guarantor file a petition for bankruptcy or our creditors file an involuntary petition for bankruptcy against us or any guarantor. Under these laws, if a court were to find that, at the time a guarantor incurred debt (including debt represented by the Guarantee), such guarantor:
incurred this debt with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors; or
received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for incurring this debt, and the guarantor;
was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by reason of the related financing transactions (including the issuance of the Guarantees);
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

was engaged in, or about to engage in, a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as currently engaged in or contemplated; or
intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay these debts as they mature, as all of the foregoing terms are defined in or interpreted under the relevant fraudulent transfer or conveyance statutes;
then the court could avoid the Guarantee or subordinate the amounts owing under the Guarantee to the guarantor’s presently existing or future debt or take other actions detrimental to you. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, you may not receive any repayment on the relevant Guarantee (and, consequently, the Notes), or may receive only a partial repayment.
The measure of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction that is being applied in any such proceeding, such that we cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not the Issuer or the guarantors were insolvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the insolvency standard applied by the court, that such court would not determine (i) that the Issuer or a guarantor were indeed insolvent on that date, (ii) that any payments to the holders of the Notes (including under the Guarantees) did not constitute preferences, fraudulent transfers or conveyances on other grounds or (iii) whether the Notes or any Guarantees would be subordinated to the Issuer’s or any of the guarantors’ other debt. Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred the debt or issued the Guarantee:
it could not pay its debts or contingent liabilities as they become due;
the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, is greater than its assets, at a fair valuation; or
the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its total existing debts and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature.
As a general matter, value is given for a transfer or an obligation if, in exchange for the transfer or obligation, property is transferred or a valid antecedent debt is secured or satisfied. A court would likely find that a guarantor did not receive “reasonably equivalent value” (or fair consideration for) its Guarantee to the extent the guarantor did not obtain a reasonably equivalent benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the Notes. Thus, if the Guarantees were legally challenged, any Guarantee could be subject to the claim that, since the Guarantee was incurred for the benefit of the Issuer, and only indirectly for the benefit of the guarantor, the obligations of the applicable guarantor were incurred for less than “reasonably equivalent value” (or fair consideration). Therefore, if a court were to find that the applicable guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by the incurrence of the Guarantee or one of the other conditions above (relating to the guarantor’s financial condition) were satisfied, the court could avoid the obligations under the Guarantees, subordinate them to the applicable guarantor’s other debt or take other action detrimental to the holders of the Notes.
If a Guarantee is avoided as a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or preference, or found to be unenforceable for any other reason, you will not have a claim against that obligor and will only be our creditor or that of any guarantor whose obligation was not set aside or found to be unenforceable. In addition, the loss of a Guarantee generally will constitute an event of default under the indentures governing the Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes and the Credit Agreement, which events of default would allow the relevant noteholders or lenders to accelerate the amounts due and payable thereunder, and we may not be able to pay any such amounts.
The indentures governing the Notes will contain a provision intended to limit each guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its Guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective (as a legal matter or otherwise) to protect the Guarantees from being avoided under fraudulent transfer law, or may eliminate the guarantor’s obligations or reduce the guarantor’s obligations to an amount that effectively makes the Guarantee worthless. In a Florida bankruptcy court decision (which was subsequently reversed by a district court on other grounds and then reinstated by the applicable circuit court of appeals), this kind of provision was found to be ineffective to protect the Guarantees.
In addition, any payment by us pursuant to the Notes or by a guarantor under a Guarantee made at a time we or such guarantor were found to be insolvent could be avoided as a preferential transfer under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and required to be returned to us or such guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of our or such guarantor’s
19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

creditors if such payment is made to an insider within a one-year period prior to a bankruptcy filing or within 90 days for any non-insider party, and such payment would give such insider or non-insider party more than such party would have received in a distribution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in a hypothetical Chapter 7 case, subject to applicable defenses.
Finally, as a court of equity, the bankruptcy court may subordinate the claims in respect of the Notes or the Guarantees to other claims against us under the principle of equitable subordination if the court determines that (1) a holder of the Notes or the Guarantees engaged in some type of inequitable conduct, (2) the inequitable conduct resulted in injury to our other creditors or conferred an unfair advantage upon the holders of the Notes and (3) equitable subordination is not inconsistent with the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
The lenders under the Credit Agreement have the discretion to release any guarantors under the Credit Agreement in a variety of circumstances, which could cause those guarantors to be released from their guarantees of each series of the Notes.
For so long as any obligations under the Credit Agreement remain outstanding, any guarantee of the Notes may be released without action by, or consent of, any holder of the Notes, if the related guarantor is no longer a guarantor of obligations under the Credit Agreement or certain other indebtedness of the Issuer or any other guarantor (except, in each case, by or as a result of payment under such guarantee or direct obligation). See “Description of Notes—Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees—The Note Guarantees.” The lenders under the Credit Agreement will have the discretion to release the guarantees under the Credit Agreement in a variety of circumstances. You will not have a claim as a creditor against any entity that is no longer a guarantor of the Notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of former guarantor subsidiaries will be structurally senior to claims of holders of the Notes.
Many of the covenants in the indentures governing the Notes will not apply if the Notes are rated investment grade.
The indentures governing the Notes provide that many of their covenants will cease to apply to us if the Notes are rated investment grade by at least two of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, provided at such time no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. The indentures further provide that these covenants will not be later reinstated in the event that the ratings of the Notes subsequently decline. These covenants restrict, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, to incur debt and to enter into certain other transactions. There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever be rated investment grade. However, termination of these covenants would allow us to engage in certain transactions that would not be permitted while these covenants were in force. See “Description of Notes—Certain Covenants—Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade.” Although the indentures will continue to restrict the Issuer’s ability to create liens or other encumbrances after the Notes are rated investment grade by at least two of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, such covenant may be modified at the Issuer’s election, following such a rating event, to restrict only the Issuer and Material Subsidiaries (as defined under “Description of the Notes—Certain Definitions”) from incurring liens on principal properties or upon capital stock or indebtedness of any Material Subsidiary (as defined under “Description of Notes—Certain Definitions”) that directly owns any principal property, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the indentures governing the Notes. See “Description of Notes—Certain Covenants—Liens.” In addition, at the Issuer’s election, following such a rating event, the Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors may be released. See “—The Guarantees may be released upon the occurrence of certain events.”
If we or existing investors sell our debt securities after this exchange offer, the market price of the Notes could decline.
The market price of the Notes could decline as a result of our, or existing investors’, sales of the Issuer’s debt securities in the market after this exchange offer, or the perception that such sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for the Issuer to sell other debt securities in the future at a time and on terms that it deems appropriate.
After giving effect to the Q1 Redemption and the Q2 Repayment, as of December 31, 2021, we would have had outstanding approximately $70.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt securities, maturing in 2022 through 2060, $40.3 billion of which would be senior secured debt securities and $29.8 billion of which would be senior unsecured debt securities. Deutsche Telekom, which currently controls approximately 52.0% of the common stock
20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of Parent, would have held $1.5 billion of these debt securities, maturing in 2028. We have on file an effective shelf registration statement with respect to these debt securities held by Deutsche Telekom and Deutsche Telekom could sell all or any portion of them at any time.
There is no guarantee that an active trading market for the Notes will exist or that you will be able to sell your Notes.
An active trading market may not exist for the Exchange Notes or any Original Notes that remain outstanding after the exchange offer. In addition, subsequent to their initial issuance, the Notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price (or, in the case of Exchange Notes, the initial offering price of the Original Notes of the same series), depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our operating performance and financial condition and other factors. The Issuer does not intend to apply for the Exchange Notes or any Original Notes that remain outstanding after the exchange offer to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for the Exchange Notes or any Original Notes that remain outstanding after the exchange offer to be quoted on any quotation system. An active trading market may not exist for the Existing Notes and Exchange Notes or may cease to exist. In addition, there may cease to be a market for the Original Notes. If an active public trading market for the Notes does not exist or ceases to exist, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected.
The trading prices for the Notes will be directly affected by many factors, including our credit rating.
Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for companies they follow, including us. Changes in our performance, leverage or industry, or changes in the credit ratings agencies’ ratings methodologies, could lead to ratings downgrades. Any ratings downgrade could adversely affect the trading price of the Notes, or the trading market for the Notes, to the extent a trading market for the Notes exists or develops. The condition of the financial and credit markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, and any fluctuation may impact the trading price of the Notes.
T-Mobile US’ Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions and proceedings, which could limit the ability of our investors to obtain a judicial forum of their choice for disputes with T-Mobile US or its directors, officers or employees.
T-Mobile US’ Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless T-Mobile US consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of T-Mobile US, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or employee of T-Mobile US to T-Mobile US or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Certificate of Incorporation or T-Mobile US’ bylaws or (iv) any other action asserting a claim arising under, in connection with, and governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This choice of forum provision does not waive our compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Moreover, the provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or by the Securities Act.
This choice of forum provision may increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit an investor’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the investor finds favorable for disputes with T-Mobile US or its directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against T-Mobile US and its directors, officers and employees, even though an action, if successful, might benefit our investors. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could increase our costs of litigation and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. We are making this exchange offer solely to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the offering of the Original Notes. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange Original Notes in like principal amount, which will be cancelled, and, as such, issuing the Exchange Notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness or be financed with new borrowings.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Purpose of the Exchange Offer
We entered into a registration rights agreement (the “registration rights agreement”) with the initial purchasers of the Original Notes. In the registration rights agreement, we and the guarantors agreed to, at our cost:
use our commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement (which we refer to as an exchange offer registration statement) with the SEC with respect to a registered exchange offer (which we refer to as a registered exchange offer) to exchange the Original Notes for new notes of the company, guaranteed by the guarantors and having terms identical in all material respects to the Original Notes (except that the new notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest (as defined below)); and
use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act and to consummate the exchange offer not later than 60 days after such effective date.
In addition, we agreed to provide that upon the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration statement, we would promptly commence the exchange offer, whereby the Exchange Notes will be offered in exchange for surrender of the Original Notes, and that we will keep the registered exchange offer open for not less than 20 business days (or longer if required by applicable law including in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act) after the date notice of the registered exchange offer is first mailed, sent or given to the noteholders. For each note surrendered to the Issuer for exchange pursuant to the registered exchange offer, the holder of such note will receive an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered note.
We are offering the Exchange Notes under this prospectus in an exchange offer for the Original Notes to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement. We refer to our offer to exchange the Exchange Notes for the Original Notes as the “exchange offer.”
Resale of Exchange Notes
Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as described in no-action letters issued to third parties that are not related to us, including Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman & Sterling LLP (dated July 2, 1993), we believe the Exchange Notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the Exchange Notes represents to us in the exchange offer that it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes and that it is not our affiliate, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; provided, however, that broker-dealers (“Participating Broker-Dealers”) receiving Exchange Notes in the exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such Exchange Notes. We also believe that Participating Broker-Dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to Exchange Notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the sale of the Original Notes) with this prospectus.
We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person who will receive Exchange Notes in the exchange offer to distribute those securities following completion of the exchange offer. We are not aware of any person that will participate in the exchange offer with a view to distribute the Exchange Notes. If you tender your Original Notes in the exchange offer with the intention of participating in any manner in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you:
cannot rely on such interpretations of the SEC staff set forth in the no-action letters described above; and
must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to resell Exchange Notes, and be identified as an underwriter in the prospectus.
Unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available, the resale by any security holder intending to distribute Exchange Notes should be covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act containing the selling security holder’s information required under the Securities Act. This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, a resale or other retransfer of Exchange Notes only as specifically described in this prospectus. Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes,
23

TABLE OF CONTENTS

where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Shelf Registration
In the registration rights agreement, we agreed that in the event that:
any changes in applicable law or interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit us and the guarantors to effect such a registered exchange offer; or
after the filing of the exchange offer registration statement with the SEC, we receive a written request within 20 business days after the consummation of the exchange offer from any noteholder that is prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the registered exchange offer, any noteholder who participates in the registered exchange offer but does not receive Exchange Notes that may be sold without Securities Act restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions resulting solely by reason of the status of such noteholder as our affiliate or an affiliate of any guarantor) (subject, in each case, to certain exceptions), or any initial purchasers with respect to the Original Notes that have, or that are reasonably likely to be determined to have, the status of unsold allotments in the original distribution of the Original Notes,
then in all such cases, we and the guarantors will, as soon as practicable but in any event within 60 days of the date of the written request, use our commercially reasonable efforts to (a) file a registration statement (which we refer to as a shelf registration statement) covering resales of the Original Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, from time to time, (b) cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act promptly and (c) keep the shelf registration statement effective until the earlier of (X) the date when the Original Notes cease to be registrable securities as defined in the registration rights agreement or (Y) the date that is 210 calendar days following the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days after May 13, 2021 (or, if such 365th day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) (such 365th day or, if applicable, next succeeding business day, a “Target Filing Date”) or (ii) the date on which all Original Notes and/or Exchange Notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the shelf registration statement. In addition, we agreed to, in the event a shelf registration statement is filed, use our commercially reasonable efforts to provide to each noteholder for which such shelf registration statement was filed, copies of the prospectus which is a part of the shelf registration statement, notify each such noteholder when the shelf registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC and take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the Original Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be. A noteholder selling Original Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally would be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement applicable to such noteholder (including certain indemnification obligations). In addition, each holder of the Original Notes or Exchange Notes to be registered under the shelf registration statement will be required to deliver information to be used in connection with the shelf registration statement within the time period set forth in the registration rights agreement in order to have such holder’s Original Notes or Exchange Notes included in the shelf registration statement and to benefit from the provisions regarding additional interest set forth in the following paragraph.
Additional Interest
If the exchange offer registration statement is not on file with the SEC on or prior to the Target Filing Date, or, if applicable, the shelf registration statement is required to be filed but is not on file with the SEC on or prior to the Target Filing Date, or if applicable, the shelf registration statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 120 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period (in each case subject to certain exceptions), then, upon the occurrence of any such events, additional interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Original Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period beginning on and including such date, increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to any subsequent 90-day period up to a maximum amount of additional interest of 0.50% in the
24

aggregate per annum thereafter, until the Original Notes cease to be registrable securities or, if earlier, when the exchange offer is completed, the shelf registration statement becomes effective or, if such shelf registration statement ceased to be effective, when such shelf registration statement again becomes effective. Such interest will be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months.
Under certain circumstances, we and the guarantors may delay the filing or the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration statement or the shelf registration statement and will not be required to maintain the effectiveness thereof or amend or supplement the exchange offer registration statement or the shelf registration statement for one or more periods not to exceed an aggregate of 120 days during any 12-month period. Any delay period will not defer our obligation to pay additional interest.
This summary of certain provisions of the registration rights agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the registration rights agreement. A copy of each registration rights agreement is an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
Terms of the Exchange Offer
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any Original Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration time of the exchange offer. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Original Notes surrendered under the exchange offer and accepted by us. Original Notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000, subject to a $2,000 minimum, and untendered Original Notes may only be in a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to those of the Original Notes, except the Exchange Notes will not be subject to transfer restrictions and holders of the Exchange Notes, with limited exceptions, will have no registration rights. Also, the Exchange Notes will not include provisions contained in the Original Notes that required payment of additional interest in the event we failed to satisfy our registration obligations with respect to the Original Notes. Each series of Exchange Notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture that authorized the issuance of the related Original Notes.
The exchange offer is not conditioned on any minimum aggregate principal amount of Original Notes being tendered for exchange.
As of the date of this prospectus, $800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the unregistered 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026, $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the unregistered 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029, and $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the unregistered 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 are outstanding. This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of the Original Notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of the Original Notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.
We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the SEC rules and regulations. Original Notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer:
will remain outstanding;
will continue to accrue interest; and
will be entitled to the rights and benefits that holders have under the indenture relating to such notes and, under limited circumstances, the registration rights agreement.
We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered Original Notes when we have given written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent and complied with the applicable provisions of the registration rights agreement. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the Exchange Notes from us. We will issue the Exchange Notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you tender Original Notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Original Notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. It is important that you read “—Fees and Expenses” below for more details about fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offer.
We will return any Original Notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to the tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.
The exchange offer is not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirements or approvals other than securities laws and blue sky laws.
Expiration Time
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on     , 2022, unless at our sole discretion we extend the exchange offer.
Extensions, Delay in Acceptance, Termination or Amendment
We expressly reserve the right, at any time or at various times, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. We may delay acceptance for exchange of any Original Notes by giving oral or written notice of the extension to their holders. During any such extensions, all Original Notes you have previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer for that series, and we may accept them for exchange.
To extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent orally or in writing (if oral to be promptly confirmed in writing) of any extension. We also will make a public announcement of the extension no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration time.
If any of the conditions described below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied with respect to the exchange offer, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion:
to extend the exchange offer;
to delay accepting for exchange any Original Notes; or
to terminate the exchange offer.
We will give oral or written notice (if oral to be promptly confirmed in writing) of such extension, delay or termination to the exchange agent. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, we also reserve the right to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.
Any such extension, delay in acceptance, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders of the Original Notes. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose that amendment by means of a prospectus supplement and we will extend the offer period if necessary so that at least five business days remain in the offer period following notice of the material change. We will distribute the supplement to the registered holders of the Original Notes. Depending on the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, we may extend, pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement and the requirements of federal securities law, the exchange offer if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during such period.
Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public announcements of any extension, delay in acceptance, termination or amendment of the exchange offer, we have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by making a timely release to an appropriate news agency.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Conditions to the Exchange Offer
Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer and subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for, any Original Notes and may terminate or amend the exchange offer, if at any time before the expiration time of the exchange offer any of the following events occur:
any injunction, order or decree has been issued by any court or any governmental agency that would prohibit, prevent or otherwise materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or
the exchange offer violates any applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.
In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the Original Notes of any holder that has not made to us:
the representations described under “—Procedures for Tendering” and “Plan of Distribution;” and
such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to make available to us an appropriate form for registering the Exchange Notes under the Securities Act.
We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer notwithstanding the satisfaction of the foregoing, and to reject for exchange any Original Notes upon the occurrence of any of the conditions to the exchange offer specified above. We will give oral or written notice of any extension, non-acceptance, termination or amendment to the holders of the Original Notes as promptly as practicable.
These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them or waive them in whole or in part at any time or at various times at our sole discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of these rights will not mean that we have waived our rights. Each right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times. If we waive a condition, we may be required in order to comply with applicable securities laws, to extend the expiration time of the exchange offer.
In addition, we will not accept for exchange any Original Notes tendered, and will not issue Exchange Notes in exchange for any such Original Notes, if at such time any stop order has been threatened or is in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indentures relating to the Exchange Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
Procedures for Tendering
How to Tender Generally
Only a holder of the Original Notes as determined by our records or those of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee or DTC may tender Original Notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must either (1) comply with the procedures for physical tender or (2) comply with the automated tender offer program procedures of DTC, described below.
To complete a physical tender, a holder must:
complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal;
have the signature on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if the letter of transmittal so requires;
mail or deliver the letter of transmittal or facsimile to the exchange agent prior to the expiration time; and
deliver the Original Notes to the exchange agent prior to the expiration time.
To be tendered effectively, the exchange agent must receive any physical delivery of the letter of transmittal and other required documents at its address provided above under “Prospectus Summary—The Exchange Agent” prior to the expiration time.
To complete a tender through DTC’s automated tender offer program, the exchange agent must receive, prior to the expiration time, a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below or a properly transmitted agent’s message.
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The tender by a holder that is not withdrawn prior to the expiration time and our acceptance of that tender will constitute an agreement between the holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ORIGINAL NOTES, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT YOUR ELECTION AND RISK. RATHER THAN MAIL THESE ITEMS, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ENSURE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION TIME. YOU SHOULD NOT SEND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR ORIGINAL NOTES TO US. YOU MAY REQUEST YOUR BROKER, DEALER, COMMERCIAL BANK, TRUST COMPANY OR OTHER NOMINEE TO EFFECT THE ABOVE TRANSACTIONS FOR YOU.
How to Tender if You Are a Beneficial Owner
If you beneficially own Original Notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender those Original Notes, you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you are a beneficial owner and wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your Original Notes, either:
make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Original Notes in your name, or
obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder of your Original Notes.
The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be completed prior to the expiration time.
Signatures and Signature Guarantees
You must have signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal described below under “—Withdrawal of Tenders” guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the Original Notes are tendered:
by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or
for the account of an eligible institution.
An “eligible institution” is member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or an eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, that is a member of one of the recognized signature guarantee programs identified in the letter of transmittal.
When Endorsements or Bond Powers Are Needed
If a person other than the registered holder of any Original Notes signs the letter of transmittal, the Original Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The registered holder must sign the bond power as the registered holder’s name appears on the Original Notes. An eligible institution must guarantee that signature.
If the letter of transmittal or any Original Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, or officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should so indicate when signing. Unless we waive this requirement, they also must submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to deliver the letter of transmittal.
Tendering Through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program
The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may use DTC’s automated tender offer program to tender. Accordingly, participants in the program may, instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the exchange agent, transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer electronically. They may do so by causing DTC to transfer the Original Notes to the exchange agent in accordance with its procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message to the exchange agent.
28

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An agent’s message is a message transmitted by DTC to and received by the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, stating that:
DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant in DTC’s automated tender offer program that is tendering Original Notes that are the subject of such book-entry confirmation;
the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal; and
we may enforce the agreement against such participant.
Determinations Under the Exchange Offer
We will determine at our sole discretion all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance of tendered Original Notes and withdrawal of tendered Original Notes. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any Original Notes not properly tendered or any Original Notes our acceptance of which, in the opinion of our counsel, might be unlawful. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties.
Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Original Notes must be cured within such time as we determine. Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Original Notes, nor will we or those persons incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Original Notes will not be deemed made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Original Notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following the expiration time.
When We Will Issue Exchange Notes
In all cases, we will issue Exchange Notes for Original Notes that we have accepted for exchange in the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:
Original Notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of transfer of such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC; and
a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents or a properly transmitted agent’s message.
Return of Original Notes Not Accepted or Exchanged
If we do not accept any tendered Original Notes for exchange for any reason described in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if Original Notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, we will return the unaccepted or non-exchanged Original Notes without expense to their tendering holder. In the case of Original Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedures described below, such non-exchanged Original Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. These actions will occur as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.
Your Representations to Us
By signing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:
you hold all right, title and interest in and to the Original Notes;
you transfer all right, title and interest in the Original Notes to us in exchange for the Exchange Notes free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, or rights or interests of third parties;
any Exchange Notes to be received by you will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;
you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act;
you are not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of us or any guarantor, or if you are such an affiliate, you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable;
29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes; and
if you are a Participating Broker-Dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for your own account in exchange for Original Notes acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.
Book-Entry Transfer
The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the Original Notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer promptly after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution participating in DTC’s system may make book-entry delivery of Original Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for transfer.
Resales
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Withdrawal of Tenders
Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender at any time prior to the expiration time. For a withdrawal to be effective:
the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at one of the addresses listed above under “Prospectus Summary—The Exchange Agent;” and
the withdrawing holder must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s automated tender offer program.
Any notice of withdrawal must:
specify the name of the person who tendered the Original Notes to be withdrawn;
identify the Original Notes to be withdrawn, including the registration number or numbers and the principal amount of such Original Notes;
be signed by the person who tendered the Original Notes in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal used to deposit those Original Notes or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to permit the Trustee to register the transfer in the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and
specify the name in which such Original Notes are to be registered, if different from that of the person who tendered the Original Notes.
If Original Notes have been tendered under the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Original Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC.
We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of notice of withdrawal, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We will deem any Original Notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer.
Any Original Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder without cost to the holder, or, in the case of Original Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedures described above, such Original Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the Original Notes. This return or crediting will take place as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. You may retender properly withdrawn Original Notes by following one of the procedures described above under “—Procedures for Tendering” at any time on or prior to the expiration time.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Fees and Expenses
We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, we may make additional solicitation by facsimile, email, telephone or in person by our officers and regular employees and those of our affiliates.
We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to broker-dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reimburse it for its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We may also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding copies of this prospectus, letters of transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of the Original Notes and in handling or forwarding tenders for exchange.
We will pay cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer. They include:
SEC registration fees for the Exchange Notes;
fees and expenses of the exchange agent and the Trustee;
accounting and legal fees;
printing costs; and
related fees and expenses.
Transfer Taxes
If you tender your Original Notes for exchange, you will not be required to pay any transfer taxes. We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Original Notes in the exchange offer. The tendering holder will, however, be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if:
certificates representing Exchange Notes or Original Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the Original Notes tendered;
tendered Original Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or
a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer.
If satisfactory evidence of payment of any transfer taxes payable by a tendering holder is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of the transfer taxes will be billed directly to that tendering holder. The exchange agent will retain possession of Exchange Notes with a face amount equal to the amount of the transfer taxes due until it receives payment of the taxes.
Accounting Treatment
We will record the Exchange Notes at the same carrying value as the Original Notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon completion of the exchange offer.
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
If you do not exchange your Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer, you will remain subject to the existing restrictions on transfer of the Original Notes. In general, you may not offer or sell the Original Notes unless either they are registered under the Securities Act or the offer or sale is exempt from or not subject to registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the Original Notes under the Securities Act. We generally have no obligation to re-offer to exchange the Exchange Notes for Original Notes following the expiration of the exchange offer. The tender of Original Notes in the exchange offer will reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Original Notes. Due to the corresponding reduction in liquidity, this may have an adverse effect on, and increase the volatility of, the market price of any Original Notes that you continue to hold. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Exchange Offer—If you do not exchange your Original Notes, your Original Notes will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and you may be unable to sell your outstanding Original Notes.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other
Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your decision on what action to take.
In the future, we may at our discretion seek to acquire untendered Original Notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plan to acquire any Original Notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered Original Notes, except as required by the registration rights agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
General
T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), is offering to exchange, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, up to $800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Exchange Notes”), $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Exchange Notes”), and $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Exchange Notes” and, together with the 2026 Exchange Notes and the 2029 Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) for, in each case, an equal amount of its outstanding 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Original Notes” and collectively with the 2026 Exchange Notes, the “2026 Notes”), 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Original Notes” and collectively with the 2029 Exchange Notes, the “2029 Notes”), and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Original Notes” and collectively with the 2031 Exchange Notes, the “2031 Notes” and the 2031 Original Notes together with the 2026 Original Notes and the 2029 Original Notes, the “Original Notes” and collectively with the Exchange Notes, the “Notes”).
The Original Notes were issued, and the Exchange Notes will be issued, under a base indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of April 28, 2013, among the Issuer, certain Guarantors and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (together with its successors and assigns, the “Trustee”), as supplemented (i) with respect to the 2026 Notes by the Forty-Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 14, 2021 (the “2026 Notes Supplemental Indenture”), (ii) with respect to the 2029 Notes by the Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 23, 2021 (the “2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture”) and (iii) with respect to the 2031 Notes by the Forty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 23, 2021 (the “2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture” and each of the 2026 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture, with respect to the applicable series, the “Supplemental Indenture”), each among the Issuer, T-Mobile US, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the direct parent company of the Issuer (“Parent”), the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as registrar and transfer agent.
The 2026 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 on January 14, 2021 (the “Existing Registered 2026 Notes”) in an offering registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2026 Original Notes are consolidated with and form a single series with the Existing Registered 2026 Notes and have the same respective terms except for the settlement date and offering price, and except that the Existing Registered 2026 Notes generally are freely tradable and do not contain certain terms with respect to registration rights and additional interest. However, the 2026 Original Notes are not fungible with the Existing Registered 2026 Notes, and unless and until exchanged for 2026 Exchange Notes pursuant to this exchange offer, the 2026 Original Notes will have separate CUSIP numbers from, and will not be fungible with, the Existing Registered 2026 Notes.
The 2029 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000 on March 23, 2021 (the “Existing Registered 2029 Notes”) in an offering registered pursuant to the Securities Act. The 2029 Original Notes are consolidated with and form a single series with the Existing Registered 2029 Notes and have the same respective terms except for the settlement date and offering price, and except that the Existing Registered 2029 Notes generally are freely tradable and do not contain certain terms with respect to registration rights and additional interest. However, the 2029 Original Notes are not fungible with the Existing Registered 2029 Notes, and unless and until exchanged for 2029 Exchange Notes pursuant to this exchange offer, the 2029 Original Notes will have separate CUSIP numbers from, and will not be fungible with, the Existing Registered 2029 Notes.
The 2031 Original Notes were an additional issuance of the 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,350,000,000 on March 23, 2021 (the “Existing Registered 2031 Notes”) in an offering registered pursuant to the Securities Act. The 2031 Original Notes are consolidated with and form a single series with the Existing Registered 2031 Notes and have the same respective terms except for the settlement date and offering price, and except that the Existing Registered 2031 Notes generally are freely tradable and do not contain certain terms with respect to registration rights and additional interest. However, the 2031 Original Notes are not fungible with the Existing Registered 2031 Notes, and unless and until exchanged for 2031 Exchange Notes pursuant to this exchange offer, the 2031 Original Notes will have separate CUSIP numbers from, and will not be fungible with, the Existing Registered 2031 Notes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In this Description of Notes, the term “Indenture” refers to the Base Indenture as supplemented separately by the Supplemental Indenture for the applicable series of Notes. The terms of the Notes of each series include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
In this Description of Notes, (i) the “Issuer” refers only to T-Mobile USA, Inc. and not to any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) “Parent” refers only to T-Mobile US, Inc. and not to any of its Subsidiaries.
The obligations and covenants of the Issuer described in this Description of Notes are only of the Issuer, and not of Parent. Although Parent is a Guarantor of the Original Notes and will be a Guarantor of the Exchange Notes, Parent and any of its Subsidiaries that are not the Issuer or the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries generally are not and will not be subject to any of the obligations and covenants described hereunder.
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture applicable to both the Exchange Notes and the Original Notes. As such, when we refer to a series of Notes, we are describing the material provisions of the corresponding series of both the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes, and when we refer to the Notes, we are describing the material provisions of both the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes. The following description does not restate the terms of the Indenture in their entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture in its entirety because it, and not this Description of Notes, defines your rights as a holder of Original Notes or Exchange Notes, as applicable. For more information on how you can obtain a copy of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indentures, see “Where You Can Find More Information.” You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this Description of Notes under the caption “—Certain Definitions” below. Certain defined terms used in this Description of Notes but not defined below under “—Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The registered holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the Indenture. The Original Notes were issued initially in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees
The Notes
The Original Notes of each series are, and the Exchange Notes of each series will be:
general unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer;
senior in right of payment to any future Indebtedness of the Issuer to the extent that such future Indebtedness provides by its terms that it is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes;
equal in right of payment with any of the Issuer’s existing and future Indebtedness and other liabilities that are not by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including, without limitation, the obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, the Credit Agreement and the Tower Obligations;
effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Issuer, including, without limitation, obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and the Credit Agreement, in each case to the extent of the value of the Issuer’s assets securing such indebtedness;
structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and other obligations of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that are not obligors with respect to the Notes, including the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes, factoring arrangements and tower obligations; and
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Notes and the Guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and borrowings under the Credit Agreement” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuer’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.”
The Note Guarantees
The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, guaranteed by (i) Parent and any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer that (x) is not an Excluded Subsidiary and (y) is an obligor under (1) the Credit Agreement
34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or (2) assuming such Subsidiary is not an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any capital markets debt securities in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500.0 million and (ii) any future direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent that directly or indirectly owns Capital Stock of the Issuer. Such entities are expected to include the Issuer’s Domestic Subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries. These Note Guarantees are (with respect to Original Notes) or will be (with respect to Exchange Notes) joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee is (with respect to Original Notes) or will be (with respect to Exchange Notes) limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Guarantees may be avoidable and therefore not be enforceable because of fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer laws.”
Each Note Guarantee of the Notes by a Guarantor is (with respect to Original Notes) or will be (with respect to Exchange Notes):
a general unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of such Guarantor;
senior in right of payment to any future Indebtedness of that Guarantor to the extent that such future Indebtedness provides by its terms that it is subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee;
equal in right of payment with any of the Guarantor’s existing and future Indebtedness and other liabilities that are not by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including, without limitation, obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes, the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes and the Credit Agreement;
effectively subordinated to any Subsidiary Guarantor’s existing and future secured Indebtedness, including, without limitation, obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and the Credit Agreement, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor securing such Indebtedness; and
structurally subordinated to all of the Indebtedness and other obligations of any Subsidiaries of such Guarantor that are not obligors with respect to the Notes.
See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Notes and the Guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and borrowings under the Credit Agreement” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuer’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.”
The Issuer’s existing and future Subsidiaries are or will be required to guarantee the Notes only under the circumstances described below under the subheading “—Certain Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees.” In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any non-guarantor Subsidiaries, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries will pay their trade creditors and the holders of their other debt and obligations before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Issuer.
As of the date of this prospectus, all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries other than Connect CCC, LLC, Sprint Federal Operations, LLC, T-Mobile Airtime Funding LLC, T-Mobile Handset Funding LLC and T-Mobile Ventures LLC are “Restricted Subsidiaries.” However, under the circumstances described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” the Issuer will be permitted to designate certain of its Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” The Issuer’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture. The Issuer’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the Notes.
Except as otherwise provided in the following paragraph, prior to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, a Guarantor of the Notes of any series (other than Parent) may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless:
(1)
immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists in respect of the Notes of such series; and
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(2)
either:
(a)
subject to the following paragraph and if it is not already a Guarantor of the Notes of such series, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture and its Note Guarantee of the Notes of such series pursuant to a supplemental indenture; or
(b)
such sale or other disposition complies with the “Asset Sale” provisions of the Indenture (it being understood that only such portion of the Net Proceeds as is or is required to be applied on or before the date of such release in accordance with the terms of the Indenture needs to be so applied).
The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released in respect of the Notes of any series:
(1)
only in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor (i) is not, (ii) is released or relieved as, or (iii) ceases (or substantially concurrently will cease) to be, a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement and under the Existing T-Mobile Secured Notes, except by or as a result of payment under such guarantee or direct obligation;
(2)
only in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale or other disposition is not prohibited by the “Asset Sale” provisions of the Indenture;
(3)
only in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, if for any reason such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided, that any Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to constitute a Subsidiary Guarantor or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely by virtue of no longer being a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (a “Partially Disposed Subsidiary”) shall only be released from its Note Guarantee to the extent that the other person taking an equity interest in such Partially Disposed Subsidiary is not an affiliate of the Issuer that is controlled by Parent, DT or any of their respective subsidiaries or an employee of any of the foregoing;
(4)
upon the legal defeasance, covenant defeasance, or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as provided below under the captions “—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” and “—Satisfaction and Discharge”;
(5)
upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that no Event of Default has occurred that is continuing;
(6)
upon the merger or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation;
(7)
in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, at the time of an Investment Grade Event Election; or
(8)
if the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The Issuer may issue further additional Notes of any series from time to time, and such additional Notes of such series may be issued under the Base Indenture as supplemented either by the Supplemental Indenture for such series of Notes or one or more other supplemental indentures. The 2026 Original Notes issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $800,000,000 on May 13, 2021, the 2029 Original Notes issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000,000 on May 13, 2021, and the 2031 Original Notes issued by the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000,000 on May 13, 2021, constitute additional Notes of the applicable series under the Indenture. Any issuance of additional Notes is subject to all of the covenants in the Indenture including the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.” The Notes of any series and any additional Notes of such series subsequently issued, together with any Exchange Notes issued with respect to such series in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that any additional Notes that
36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

are not fungible with the Notes of any series (or with any other additional Notes of that series) for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN, common code or other identifying number, as applicable.
The Issuer issued the Original Notes, and will issue the Exchange Notes, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The 2026 Notes will mature on February 15, 2026, the 2029 Notes will mature on April 15, 2029, and the 2031 Notes will mature on April 15, 2031.
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid (and, in the case of Exchange Notes, interest will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid on the corresponding Original Notes exchanged therefor, the date it was most recently paid on such Original Notes). If an interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. Interest on the Original Notes is, and interest on the Exchange Notes will be, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Interest on the 2026 Original Notes accrues, and interest on the 2026 Exchange Notes will accrue, at the rate of 2.250% per annum; interest on the 2029 Original Notes accrues, and interest on the 2029 Exchange Notes will accrue, at the rate of 3.375% per annum; and interest on the 2031 Original Notes accrues, and interest on the 2031 Exchange Notes will accrue, at the rate of 3.500% per annum.
Interest on the 2026 Original Notes is, and interest on the 2026 Exchange Notes will be, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15. The Issuer will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the 2026 Notes on the immediately preceding February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day). Interest on the 2029 Original Notes and the 2031 Original Notes is, and interest on the 2029 Exchange Notes and the 2031 Exchange Notes will be, payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The Issuer will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes on the immediately preceding April 1 or October 1 (whether or not a Business Day).
Payments of principal of and interest on the Notes issued in book-entry form or definitive form, if any, will be made as described below under the caption “—Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes.”
The Original Notes of each series are, and the Exchange Notes of each series initially will be, evidenced by one or more global notes deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of, Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).
Listing
The Notes are not, and the Issuer does not intend to apply for the Notes to be, listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for the Notes to be quoted on any quotation system.
Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes
If a holder of a definitive note has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer and the Issuer is the paying agent, the Issuer will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions until given written notice to the contrary. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, unless the Issuer elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the noteholders at their address set forth in the books and records of the registrar.
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes
The Trustee will initially act as paying agent, registrar and transfer agent where Notes may be presented for payment. The Issuer may change the paying agent, registrar or transfer agent without prior notice to the holders of the Notes, and the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.
Transfer and Exchange
Except as set forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.
37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A holder of a definitive note may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of Notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes relating to, arising out of, or in connection with such transfer. The Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.
Mandatory Redemption; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases
The Issuer will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described below under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders.”
As market conditions warrant, the Issuer and its affiliates may from time to time seek to purchase their outstanding debt securities or loans, including the Notes, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing such indebtedness, any purchases made by the Issuer may be funded by the use of cash on its balance sheet or the incurrence of new secured or unsecured debt, including borrowings under credit facilities. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchases may be with respect to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, with the attendant reduction in the trading liquidity of such class or series.
Optional Redemption

For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to pay any Applicable Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.
Prescription
Under New York’s statute of limitations, any legal action to enforce our payment obligations evidenced by the Notes must be commenced within six years after the payment thereof is due; thereafter our payment obligations will generally become unenforceable. In addition, the Indenture will prohibit the Trustee and the holders from accelerating the obligations under the Notes with respect to or as a result of an Event of Default consisting of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to the declaration of such acceleration.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
Change of Control Triggering Event
If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to any series of Notes, each holder of outstanding Notes of such series will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s Notes of such series pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date for periods prior to such repurchase date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will send a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of Notes to which such Change of Control Triggering Event applies and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions and identifying the rating decline that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes of such series on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection
40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Indenture, or compliance with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Indenture would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance. In connection with the tender of any Notes with respect to a Change of Control Triggering Event, the tendering holder shall provide good title to the Notes, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and shall represent and warrant that such holder is presenting good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and such other representations and warranties as are customary.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:
(1)
accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2)
deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
(3)
deliver or cause to be delivered to the paying agent the Notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.
The paying agent will promptly make payment, to each holder of Notes properly tendered, of the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder, a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the Notes to require, or otherwise provide, that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to any series of the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer for such series of Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes of such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption with respect to such series has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described above under the caption —Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.
A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement has been executed for a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.
In the event that holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series accept a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer purchases all of the Notes of such series held by such holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes of such series that remain outstanding, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of, prior to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and following the
41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes to require the Issuer to repurchase its Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.
Asset Sales
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1)
the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and
(2)
at least 75% of the consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the Closing Date is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets or a combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
(a)
any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet (or as would be shown on the Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet as of the date of such Asset Sale), of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;
(b)
any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer, or any such Restricted Subsidiary, from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets within 90 days after such Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets received in that conversion;
(c)
consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the Series Issue Date from Persons who are not the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; and
(d)
any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (d) that is at any time outstanding, not to exceed 5% of the Issuer’s Total Assets (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75% limitation referred to above shall be deemed satisfied with respect to any Asset Sale in which the cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision on an after-tax basis, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary may apply an amount equal to such Net Proceeds:
(1)
to purchase Replacement Assets;
(2)
to prepay, repay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility or Indebtedness secured by property that is subject to such Asset Sale and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;
(3)
to prepay, repay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire Obligations under Indebtedness that is not Subordinated Indebtedness other than the Indebtedness described in clause (2) above (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that the Issuer shall equally and ratably prepay, repay, defease, redeem, purchase or
42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

otherwise retire (or offer to prepay, repay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire, as applicable) Obligations under the Notes on a pro rata basis for no less than 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date; or
(4)
if the assets subject to such Asset Sale are the property or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to prepay, repay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into a binding written agreement committing the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, subject to customary conditions, to an application of funds of the kind described in clause (1) above, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be in violation of the preceding paragraph so long as such application of funds is consummated within 545 days of the receipt of such Net Proceeds.
Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise use the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture.
An amount equal to any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the third paragraph of this covenant will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million, within 20 days thereof, the Issuer shall apply the entire aggregate amount of unutilized Excess Proceeds (not only the amount in excess of $100.0 million) to make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and purchase or redeem such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased or redeemed with Excess Proceeds, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of consummation of the purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in response to such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Issuer will select such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased or redeemed on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture, or compliance with the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.
The agreements governing the Issuer’s other Indebtedness contain, and future agreements may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and may prohibit repurchases of or other prepayments in respect of the Notes. The exercise by the holders of the Notes of their right to require the Issuer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control Triggering Event or Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases or other prepayments on the Issuer. In the event a Change of Control Triggering Event or Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing Notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of the holders of such Indebtedness to the purchase of Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, the Issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing Notes. In that case, the Issuer’s failure to purchase tendered Notes would constitute an Event of Default under the applicable Indenture that could, in turn, constitute a default under the other Indebtedness. Finally, the Issuer’s ability to pay cash to the holders of Notes upon a repurchase may be limited by the Issuer’s then existing financial resources. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The

indentures governing the Notes, the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes and the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, the Credit Agreement and other financing arrangements include or will include restrictive covenants that limit our operating flexibility.”
Selection and Notice
If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select Notes of such series for redemption on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements.
No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be sent electronically or mailed by first class mail at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes of a series or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to such series. Any such notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, state that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering, issuance of Indebtedness or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date (whether the original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed). In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice or offer to purchase that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption or offer to purchase may be performed by another Person.
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed. If in definitive form a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original note. Except to the extent that a notice of redemption is conditional, Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.
Certain Covenants
Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade
If on any date following the Series Issue Date with respect to a series of Notes:
(1)
the Notes of such series are rated Investment Grade by two out of the three Rating Agencies; and
(2)
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes of such series (other than with respect to the covenants specifically listed under the following captions),
then, beginning on that day, the covenants specifically listed under the following captions in this prospectus will cease to apply to such series of Notes and will not be later reinstated even if the ratings of the Notes of such series should subsequently decline:
(1)
“—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales”;
(2)
“—Restricted Payments”;
(3)
“—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”;
(4)
“—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries”;
(5)
“—Transactions with Affiliates”;
(6)
“—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries”; and
(7)
clauses (3) (to the extent that a Default or Event of Default exists by reason of one or more of the covenants specifically listed in this paragraph) and (4) of the covenant described below under the caption “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.”
44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There can be no assurance that the Notes of any series will ever achieve an Investment Grade rating.
Restricted Payments
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
(1)
declare or pay (without duplication) any dividend, or make any other payment or distribution, on account of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer and other than dividends or distributions payable to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer);
(2)
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer) any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer;
(3)
make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Indebtedness (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or
(4)
make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred as “Restricted Payments”),
unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:
(a)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;
(b)
the Issuer would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described below under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”; and
(c)
such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Closing Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16) and (17) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:
(i)
100% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Cash Flow for the period (taken as one accounting period) from and after the Closing Date to the end of the Issuer’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment, less the product of 1.4 times the Issuer’s Consolidated Interest Expense for the same period; plus
(ii)
100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds, and the Fair Market Value of any property other than cash, in each case received by the Issuer after the Closing Date as a contribution to its common equity capital (other than any such contribution resulting, or deemed to result, from the Merger) or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Issuer that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Issuer); plus
(iii)
to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Closing Date, or, that any Restricted Investment that was made by MetroPCS Wireless, Inc. or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after November 3, 2006 and prior to the Closing Date (provided that, and solely to

the extent that, such Restricted Investment, at the time made, reduced the amount that would be calculated pursuant to clause (g) below), in each case, is sold for cash or Cash Equivalents, or otherwise is liquidated or repaid for cash or Cash Equivalents, an amount equal to such cash and Cash Equivalents; plus
(iv)
to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer designated as such after the Closing Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date, the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation; other than to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment; plus
(v)
100% of any cash dividends or cash distributions, and the Fair Market Value of any property other than cash, in each case actually received directly or indirectly by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Guarantor after the Closing Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, in each case, to the extent that such dividends, cash distributions or other property were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for such period and other than to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment; minus
(vi)
the aggregate amount of any Net Equity Proceeds taken into account for purposes of incurring Indebtedness pursuant to clause (14) the definition of “Permitted Debt” set forth below under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” after the Closing Date; plus
(vii)
the amount that would be calculated immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger on the Closing Date pursuant to clause (3) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07(a) of the September 2010 Senior Notes Indenture, as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the December 2012 Sixth Supplemental Indenture (provided that any calculation of cumulative Consolidated Cash Flow and Consolidated Interest Expense in subclause (A) of such clause (3) shall include (x) the Issuer’s last fiscal quarter ending prior to the Closing Date, and (y) the period from the beginning of the Issuer’s fiscal quarter during which the Closing Date occurs to the Closing Date, in each case, if internal financial statements are available for such period at the time of calculation, even if they are not available immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger on the Closing Date).
As of December 31, 2021, the amount calculated pursuant to clause (c)(i)-(vii) above, was approximately $132.8 billion.
The preceding provisions will not prohibit:
(1)
the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;
(2)
the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of, Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Issuer; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (c)(ii) above; provided, further, that any Net Equity Proceeds (x) used for making a Restricted Investment pursuant to clause (10) of this paragraph or (y) taken into account for purposes of incurring Indebtedness pursuant to clause (14) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” set forth below under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” may not also be used to make a Restricted Payment pursuant to this clause (2);
(3)
the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;
(4)
the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(6)
the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise or exchange of stock options, warrants or other similar rights to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise or exchange price of those stock options, warrants or other similar rights, and the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of Equity Interests made in lieu of withholding taxes resulting from the vesting, exercise or exchange of stock options, warrants or other similar rights;
(7)
the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer issued on or after the Closing Date in accordance with the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test described below under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”;
(8)
Permitted Payments to Parent;

(13)
Restricted Payments in connection with the Cash Payment, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement;

(15)
the distribution, as a dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary by, Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than any Unrestricted Subsidiary whose principal assets consist of cash and Cash Equivalents to the extent such cash and Cash Equivalents were invested in a Permitted Investment);
47

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(16)
other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount since the Closing Date not to exceed the greater of (x) $1,600.0 million or (y) 6.0% of the Consolidated Cash Flow of the Issuer; and
(17)
any Restricted Payment; provided that the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis in the manner described in the definition of “Debt to Cash Flow Ratio” after giving effect to such Restricted Payment would be equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00;
provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (16) or (17), no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby.
For purposes of determining compliance with this “Restricted Payments” covenant, in the event that an Investment or Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (1) through (17) above or one or more of the exceptions contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments”, the Issuer will be permitted to classify all or a portion of such Investment or Restricted Payment on the date of its occurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such Investment or Restricted Payment, in any manner that complies with this covenant.
The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.
Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Issuer will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and the Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Preferred Stock, if the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such Preferred Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been no greater than 6.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”), nor will it prohibit the Issuer from issuing the following types of Disqualified Stock or the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries from issuing the following types of Preferred Stock:
(1)
the incurrence by the Issuer and any Subsidiary Guarantor of additional Specified Indebtedness under Credit Facilities, provided that giving effect to such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) of all Specified Indebtedness under Credit Facilities then outstanding under this paragraph (1) does not exceed the sum of (A) $8.0 billion, plus (B)(i) the greater of (x) $22.0 billion and (y) 1.00x Specified Consolidated Cash Flow, plus (ii) an unlimited amount, so long as on a Pro Forma Basis (and calculated (x) as if any incremental revolving facility were fully drawn on the effective date thereof and (y) excluding any cash constituting proceeds of any Credit Facility), with respect to any Credit Facility that constitutes First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Debt to Cash Flow Ratio does not exceed 2.00 to 1.00 (or, if incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Specified Investment, the First Lien Debt to Cash Flow Ratio would not exceed the First Lien Debt to Cash Flow Ratio immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition or other Specified Investment); provided that Credit Facilities will be deemed to be incurred under the foregoing clause (ii) before clause (i), and to the extent amounts are incurred concurrently under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the applicable ratio may exceed the applicable ratio level set forth in clause (ii) to the extent of such amounts incurred in reliance under clause (i);
(2)
the incurrence by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Existing Indebtedness or any Series Issue Date Existing Indebtedness;

the incurrence by the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Existing Registered 2026 Notes, the Existing Registered 2029 Notes and the Existing Registered 2031 Notes issued on the Series Issue Date and the related Note Guarantees;
(4)
the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Financing Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing (whether prior to or within 270 days after) all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets used in the business of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4);
(5)
the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (13), (14), (15), (24) or (25) of this paragraph;
(6)

(22)
the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness consisting of take-or-pay obligations contained in supply agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

to the extent that deposits with, or payments owed to, the FCC in connection with the auction or licensing of Governmental Authorizations are deemed to be Indebtedness, the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Indebtedness;
(24)
Indebtedness incurred in connection with the Towers Transaction; and
(25)
the incurrence by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (25), when aggregated with the principal amount (or accreted value) of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (25), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (25), does not exceed the greater of (x) $1,350.0 million and (y) 5.0% of the Consolidated Cash Flow of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available.
For purposes of (x) determining compliance with this “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” covenant, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (25) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer will be permitted to classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant; and (y) determining the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to clause (1)(B)(ii) of the definition of Permitted Debt, the Issuer may elect, pursuant to an officers’ certificate delivered to the Trustee, to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness (and any refinancing with respect thereto) as being incurred at such time, in which case any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment or refinancing, as the case may be, shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an incurrence at such subsequent time. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles or the application thereof, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values, and in no event shall the reclassification of any lease or other liability as indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles after the Closing Date be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness. In determining the amount of Indebtedness outstanding under one of the clauses above, the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness of any Person shall be counted only once and any obligation of such Person or any other Person arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded so long as it is permitted to be incurred by the Person or Persons incurring such obligation.
Liens
Prior to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien securing Indebtedness upon any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured (except that Liens securing Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the Notes shall be expressly subordinate to any Lien securing the Notes to at least the same extent that such Indebtedness is subordinate to the Notes).
Following the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Material Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien securing Indebtedness for Borrowed
51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Money upon any of its or any Material Subsidiary’s Principal Property or upon Capital Stock or Specified Indebtedness of any Material Subsidiary that directly owns any Principal Property, except Permitted Post-IG Event Election Liens, unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or, at the Issuer’s option, on a senior basis to) the Indebtedness for Borrowed Money so secured. Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the Notes pursuant to this paragraph is required to provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to such Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the Notes.
For purposes of determining compliance with this “Liens” covenant, (x) a Lien need not be incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens or Permitted Post-IG Event Election Liens, as applicable, but may be incurred under any combination of such categories (including in part under one such category and in part under any other such category) and (y) in the event that a Lien (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of such categories of Permitted Liens or Permitted Post-IG Event Election Liens, as applicable, the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or may subsequently reclassify at any time such Lien (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this “Liens” covenant and the definition of “Permitted Liens” or “Permitted Post-IG Event Election Liens,” as applicable.
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
(1)
pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(2)
make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(2)
agreements or instruments governing Credit Facilities not in effect on the Closing Date so long as either (a) the encumbrances and restrictions contained therein do not impair the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to pay dividends or make any other distributions or payments directly or indirectly to the Issuer in an amount sufficient to permit the Issuer to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the Notes, or (b) the encumbrances and restrictions contained therein are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Indenture;
(3)

(14)
the issuance of Preferred Stock by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or the payment of dividends thereon in accordance with the terms thereof; provided that issuance of such Preferred Stock is permitted pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and the terms of such Preferred Stock do not expressly restrict the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock (other than requirements to pay dividends or liquidation preferences on such Preferred Stock prior to paying any dividends or making any other distributions on such other Capital Stock);

When the successor Person assumes all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture, the Issuer shall be discharged from those obligations.
This “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” covenant will not apply to (and the following shall be permitted notwithstanding such covenant):

(the “Guarantee Threshold”), then Parent shall cause such of its non-guarantor Subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries to, within 60 days, execute and deliver a supplemental indenture providing for a Note Guarantee by such non-guarantor Subsidiaries (each such Note Guarantee, a “Post-Release Event Note Guarantee”) such that the aggregate principal amount of Specified Indebtedness of all other non-guarantor Subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries (excluding any Specified Indebtedness under any Permitted Receivables Financing and any Specified Indebtedness of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (or the equivalent thereof) under the Credit Agreement or Permitted Receivables Financing Subsidiary) that is incurred or issued and outstanding does not exceed the Guarantee Threshold (after giving effect to the provision of Post-Release Event Note Guarantees pursuant to the foregoing); provided that (i) this covenant shall not be applicable to any Specified Indebtedness of any Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Subsidiary of Parent (including any Specified Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Subsidiary, so long as Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than such Person and its Subsidiaries) are not obligors under such Specified Indebtedness), (ii) if the Guarantee Threshold would be exceeded immediately after giving effect to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, then such Investment Grade Event Election shall be deemed not to have occurred with respect to the release of such Note Guarantees as the Issuer may designate such that the Guarantee Threshold would not be then exceeded and (iii) a Post-Release Event Note Guarantee shall be released to the extent the Guarantee Threshold would not be exceeded after giving effect to such release.
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries
The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments” or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer in its discretion, and (ii) any Guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof of any Indebtedness of the Restricted Subsidiary being so designated will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (or both, if applicable) at the time of such designation. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment and/or incurrence of Indebtedness would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.
Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an officers’ certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments.” The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default would be in existence following such designation, and as a result of, such designation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may at any time and from time to time designate any Designated Entity, by written notice to the Trustee, as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and any such Subsidiary shall upon such notice immediately be designated and deemed an Unrestricted Subsidiary, without any further action by the Issuer (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require delivery of a resolution of the Board of Directors or of an officers’ certificate) (each, a “Specified Unrestricted Subsidiary Designation”). The aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Designated Entities so designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries will, as calculated and to the extent permitted by clause (18) of the definition of Permitted Investments, be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such Specified Unrestricted Subsidiary Designation under such clause (18), and not reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Reports
Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, Parent will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below with the SEC for public availability within the time periods (including all applicable extension periods) specified in the SEC rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing):
(1)
all quarterly and annual financial reports that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Parent were required to file such reports, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by its certified independent accountants; and
(2)
all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if Parent were required to file such reports;
provided that the availability of the foregoing reports on the SEC’s EDGAR service (or successor thereto) shall be deemed to satisfy the Issuer’s delivery obligations to the Trustee and any holder of Notes.
All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports; provided that, if Parent is not required under the rules and regulations of the SEC to file such reports with the SEC for public availability, such reports need not be prepared in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports and shall only be required to include the information or disclosure that would be required by such form to the extent that, and in the same general style of presentation as the prospectus supplement for the Existing Registered 2026 Notes, the Existing Registered 2029 Notes and the Existing Registered 2031 Notes, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2021. The Issuer will comply with §314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.
If the SEC will not accept Parent’s filings for any reason, the Issuer will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website, on intralinks.com or another website within the time periods that would apply if Parent were required to file those reports with the SEC (including all applicable extension periods). If the combined operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries, excluding the operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and excluding Specified Cash Equivalents, would, if held by a single Subsidiary of the Issuer, constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of Parent and its other Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the requirements of this paragraph shall not apply if Parent or the Issuer files with the SEC the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of the first paragraph of this covenant, and any such report contains the information required in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of clause (4) under “—Events of Default and Remedies” until 150 days after the receipt of the written notice delivered thereunder.
For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time Parent or the Issuer is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, the Issuer will furnish to the holders of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
Any such reports delivered or filed by the Issuer with the Trustee shall be considered for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute notice or actual knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an officers’ certificate).
Events of Default and Remedies
Each of the following is an “Event of Default” in respect of the Notes of a series:
(1)
default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes of such series;
(2)
default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes of such series;

(5)
default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Specified Indebtedness for money borrowed by (i) prior to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (or the payment of which Specified Indebtedness for borrowed money is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) or (ii) following the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (or any of its Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (or the payment of which Specified Indebtedness for borrowed money is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries); in each case whether such Specified Indebtedness or Specified Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Series Issue Date, if that default:
(a)
is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Specified Indebtedness at the later of final maturity and the expiration of any related applicable grace period (a “Payment Default”); or
(b)
results in the acceleration of such Specified Indebtedness prior to its express maturity;
and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Specified Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Specified Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates an amount equal to the greater of $250.0 million and 1.00% of Specified Consolidated Cash Flow determined on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently ended Test Period or more, in each case for so long as such failure or acceleration is continuing;

(9)
except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer with respect to the Notes of such series is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee.
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event, the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, or (ii) following the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event, the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer; in each case all outstanding Notes of such series will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. However, the effect of such provisions may be limited by applicable laws. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of Notes, the Trustee or the holders, with a copy to the Trustee, of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series may declare all the Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately; provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to or as a result of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to such declaration.
Subject to certain limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes of such series.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any holders of Notes unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, a holder may pursue a remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes of any series only if:
(1)
such holder gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(2)
holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the applicable series have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee;
(3)
such holder or holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4)
the Trustee does not comply with the request within 90 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity or security; and
(5)
during such 90-day period, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the applicable series have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a series by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all holders of Notes of that series, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default in respect of such series of Notes and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes of such series.
The Issuer and each Guarantor is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Within 30 days after becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived in such period.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders
No past, present or future director, officer, member, manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
The Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an officers’ certificate, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes of any series and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees with respect to such series (“Legal Defeasance”) and cure all then existing Defaults and Events of Defaults except for:
(1)
the rights of holders of outstanding Notes of such series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
(2)
the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes of such series concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment of money for security payments held in trust;
(3)
the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and
(4)
the Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.
In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time with respect to any series of Notes, elect to have the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors released with respect to the provisions of the Indenture described above under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders” and under the caption “—Certain Covenants” (other than the
61

TABLE OF CONTENTS

covenant described under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets,” except to the extent described below) and the limitation imposed by clause (4) under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” (such release and termination being referred to as “Covenant Defeasance”), and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations or provisions will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs with respect to any series of Notes in accordance with the Indenture, the Events of Default described under clauses (3) through (9) under the caption “—Events of Default and Remedies” (in the case of clauses (7) and (8), only with respect to the Issuer’s Subsidiaries) in each case, will no longer constitute an Event of Default.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to any series of Notes:
(1)
the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or its designee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of such series of Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the outstanding Notes of such series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; provided that in connection with any Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance that requires the payment of a premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to premium calculated as of the date of the deposit, with any deficit as of the maturity date only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the maturity date;
(2)
in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and exclusions) confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date Notes of such series were first issued, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3)
in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and exclusions) confirming that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(4)
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of Notes on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds, or the imposition of Liens in connection therewith, to be applied to such deposit, or an Event of Default that will be cured by such Covenant Defeasance or Legal Defeasance) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;
(5)
such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
(6)
the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others;
(7)
the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an officers’ certificate, stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and
62

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(8)
the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel (which may be subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and exclusions), stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (2) and (3) of this paragraph, as applicable, have been complied with.
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the applicable Indenture with respect to the Notes of any series or the related Note Guarantees of the Notes of any series may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes of such series), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the applicable Indenture with respect to such Notes or the related Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes of such series).
Without the consent of each holder of Notes of the applicable series affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes of a particular series held by a non-consenting holder):
(1)
reduce the principal amount of Notes of such series whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(2)
reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note of such series or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes of such series (other than notice periods for redemption and provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);
(3)
reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note of such series;
(4)
waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes of such series (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes of such series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
(5)
make any Note of such series payable in money other than that stated in the Notes of such series;
(6)
make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes of such series to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes of such series;
(7)
waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note of such series (other than a payment required by the covenants described above under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);
(8)
release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its related Note Guarantee of the Notes of such series or the applicable Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of such Indenture; or
(9)
make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.
Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors, and the Trustee may amend or supplement the applicable Indenture, the Notes of any series or the related Note Guarantees:
(1)
to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;
(2)
to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;
(3)
to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to holders of Notes of such series and related Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable;
(4)
to effect the release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in respect of such series of Notes and the termination of such Note Guarantee, all in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indenture governing such release and termination;
(5)
to add any Guarantor or Note Guarantee with respect to such series or to secure the Notes of such series or the related Note Guarantee;
63

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(6)
to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of Notes of such series or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such holder in any material respect;
(7)
to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
(8)
to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the applicable Indenture; provided that any such change or elimination shall not become effective with respect to any outstanding Notes of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision;
(9)
to provide for the issuance of and establish forms and terms and conditions of a new series of Notes as permitted by the Base Indenture;
(10)
to conform the text of the applicable supplemental indenture, the Notes of such series, or the related Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the prospectus supplement applicable to the initial Notes of the applicable series at the time of the initial sale thereof, in each case, as conclusively evidenced by an officers’ certificate;
(11)
to provide for the issuance of additional Notes of such series, provided that such additional Notes have the same terms as, and be deemed part of the same series as, the Notes of such series to the extent required under the applicable Indenture;
(12)
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of and appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trust by more than one trustee; and
(13)
to allow any Guarantor of the Notes of such series to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes of such series.
The consent of the holders of the Notes is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or waiver.
For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants described under, “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders” or “—Certain Covenants,” or action taken in compliance with the covenants in effect at the time of such action, shall be deemed to impair or affect any legal rights of any holders of the Notes to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Notes.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The applicable Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to the Notes of a series issued thereunder, when:
(1)
either:
(a)

Governing Law
The Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees are (with respect to the Original Notes) and will be (with respect to the Exchange Notes) governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Concerning the Trustee
We maintain ordinary banking relationships with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and its affiliates.
If the Trustee becomes a creditor of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the Indenture limits the right of the Trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest when a Default is continuing it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days of the date such conflict arises, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the applicable series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any holder of Notes of the applicable series, unless such holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

The 7.875% senior notes due 2023, the 7.125% senior notes due 2024, the 7.625% senior notes due 2025 and the 7.625% senior notes due 2026 were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 11, 2013 (the “2013 Sprint Indenture” and collectively with the 1998 Sprint Indenture and the 2006 Sprint Indenture, the “Existing Sprint Indentures”), among Sprint and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
The Existing Sprint Indentures, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Existing Sprint Unsecured Notes, contain covenants and other terms, including covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Sprint and its restricted subsidiaries to create liens or other encumbrances, and merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets. The Existing Sprint Indentures, as so amended and supplemented, also contains customary events of default. These covenants and events of default are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.
Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Facility
The notes set forth in the table below (the “Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes”) are currently outstanding under Sprint’s $7.0 billion securitization program (the “Sprint Spectrum Note Facility”) and were issued through a group of bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities (the “Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entities”) formed for such transaction, each of which are wholly-owned by T-Mobile and non-guarantor “Restricted Subsidiaries” under the indentures governing the Notes and the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes, the other Existing T-Mobile Unsecured Notes and the Credit Agreement.
The Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes are secured primarily by a pool of 2.5 GHz and 1.9 GHz spectrum which has been pledged to secure indebtedness available under the Sprint Spectrum Note Facility (the “Sprint Spectrum Portfolio”).
Additional credit enhancement includes a letter of credit supporting an 18-month interest and expense reserve and a pledge of the secured payment obligations under the Existing Sprint Spectrum Lease (as defined below).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Sprint Spectrum Note Facility currently allows for the incurrence of up to $7.0 billion of indebtedness. However, the size of the Sprint Spectrum Note Facility may be increased, subject to the applicable covenants and limitations in the documentation governing the Company’s indebtedness outstanding from time to time.
The Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes are initially paid with interest-only payments, followed by amortizing quarterly principal payments, over the periods specified in the table below. The issuers may optionally prepay the outstanding principal amount of all or any tranche of the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes in whole on any business day or in part on any payment date, without any obligation to prepay the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes of another series or tranche proportionately or otherwise, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes prepaid plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable prepayment date, plus, in the case of any such optional prepayment at any time before the date that is one year prior to the anticipated repayment date set forth in the table below, a specified “make-whole” prepayment premium.

Sprint Communications leases the Sprint Spectrum Portfolio from the Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entities and these lease payments are used to service the indebtedness under the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes (the “Existing Sprint Spectrum Lease”). The payment obligations under the Existing Sprint Spectrum Lease, which has been pledged to the holders of the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes as additional collateral, are secured by a shared first lien on the collateral that secures the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes that is capped at $3.5 billion.
Each Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entity is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors that would be entitled, prior to and upon the liquidation of the Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entity, to be satisfied out of the Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entity’s assets prior to any assets of the Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entity becoming available to its parent entities (including T-Mobile). Accordingly, the assets of the Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entities would not be available to satisfy the debts and other obligations owed to other creditors of T-Mobile until the obligations of the Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entities (including under the Existing Sprint Spectrum-Backed Notes) are paid in full.
As the Existing Sprint Spectrum Note Entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of T-Mobile, these entities will be consolidated and all intercompany activity will be eliminated for accounting purposes.
Credit Agreement
T-Mobile USA is party to a Credit Agreement (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among T-Mobile USA, as borrower, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, and the lenders and other financial institutions party thereto, providing for a $5.5 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with proceeds from draws thereunder to be used for general corporate purposes including working capital needs.
Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on April 1, 2025, except as otherwise extended or replaced. T-Mobile USA may repay amounts borrowed and/or terminate the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (in whole or part) at any time without premium or penalty.
The rates of interest on amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility are based on, at T-Mobile USA’s option, either the London Inter Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (subject to a 0% LIBOR floor) plus a margin of 1.25% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.25%, with the margins subject to reduction to 1.00% and 0.00%, respectively, if the Company’s Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 0.75 to 1.00. The alternate base rate is the highest of (i) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (ii) the
110

TABLE OF CONTENTS

federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%. In the event that LIBOR becomes unascertainable, is no longer made available or a public announcement has been made that it will no longer be available or syndicated loans are being executed or amended to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark to replace LIBOR, then T-Mobile USA and the administrative agent are permitted to amend the Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate.
The commitment fee for the Revolving Credit Facility is 0.175% per annum.
T-Mobile USA’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Parent and by all of T-Mobile USA’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries including certain designated special purpose finance vehicle entities, insurance subsidiaries and immaterial subsidiaries), all of Parent’s subsidiaries that guarantee certain of T-Mobile USA’s indebtedness, and any subsidiary of Parent that directly or indirectly owns any of T-Mobile USA’s equity interests. In addition, T-Mobile USA’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guarantee obligations of the guarantors are supported by a first priority pledge (subject to permitted liens under the Credit Agreement) in substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property assets of T-Mobile USA and the guarantors (other than the unsecured guarantors), in each case subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2020, by and among T-Mobile USA, Parent and the other grantors party thereto in favor of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral trustee, and related documentation.
The Credit Agreement contains certain limitations on T-Mobile USA and its restricted subsidiaries with respect to dividends and other distributions, restrictions on investments, indebtedness and guarantees, sales of certain assets, affiliate transactions, liens, business activities and consolidations and mergers.
The Credit Agreement provides that T-Mobile USA has the right at any time to request incremental term loans or incremental revolving credit commitments (or incremental equivalent debt) up to the greater of the sum of (a) the greater of (x) $11.0 billion and (y) 50% of Consolidated Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) determined on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently ended Test Period plus (b) the amount of all voluntary prepayments, cash amounts actually paid in connection with below par term loan buybacks (to the extent such term loans are cancelled) and undrawn commitment reductions of term loans, revolving credit loans, incremental term loans, incremental revolving credit loans and incremental equivalent debt (in each case (A) with respect to revolving credit loans, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in such revolving credit commitments and (B) to the extent not funded with the proceeds of debt constituting “long-term debt” (other than debt in respect of any revolving credit facility)) plus (c) such other amount so long as such amount at such time could be incurred without causing T-Mobile USA’s pro forma Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio to exceed 2.0 to 1.0 in the case of incremental loans or commitments that are first lien obligations, Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to exceed 2.5 to 1.0 in the case of incremental loans or commitments that are junior lien obligations, Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to exceed 6.0 to 1.0 in the case of incremental loans or commitments that are unsecured indebtedness or, in the case of incremental term loans incurred in connection with a permitted acquisition or other investment, the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio or Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, immediately prior to such permitted acquisition or other investment. The lenders are not under any obligation to provide any such incremental commitments or loans.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial maintenance covenant, requiring T-Mobile USA to maintain a Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of 3.30 to 1.00 or less at each fiscal quarter end beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020.
Under the Credit Agreement, a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that is accompanied or followed by a downgrade by one or more gradations (including gradations within ratings categories as well as between ratings categories) or withdrawal of T-Mobile USA’s corporate rating within a certain period by at least two out of three of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, where our corporate rating on any day during such period is below the rating by each such rating agency in effect immediately preceding the change of control shall constitute an event of default; provided that in making the relevant decision(s) referred to above to downgrade or withdraw such ratings, as applicable, the relevant rating agency announces publicly or confirms in writing during such period that such decision(s) resulted, in whole or in part, from the occurrence (or expected occurrence) of such change of control; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no event of default shall occur under the Credit Agreement if at the time of the applicable downgrade, our corporate rating by at least two out of three of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch
111

TABLE OF CONTENTS

is investment grade. If such a change of control accompanied by a downgrade or withdrawal were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to pay the amounts owing under our Credit Agreement and may be required to obtain third-party financing in order to do so. However, we may not be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, covenant defaults, breaches of certain representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments, a change of control coupled with a ratings downgrade, certain ERISA events and the invalidity of security documents and guarantees. If an event of default occurs and is not cured within any applicable grace period or is not waived, the administrative agent and the lenders will be entitled to take various actions, including, without limitation, the acceleration of amounts due thereunder.
Existing T-Mobile Tower Transactions
In 2012, T-Mobile conveyed to CCI the exclusive right to manage and operate approximately 6,200 tower sites (“CCI Lease Sites”) via a master prepaid lease with site lease terms ranging from 23 to 37 years (“2012 Tower Transaction”). CCI has fixed-price purchase options for the CCI Lease Sites totaling approximately $2.0 billion, exercisable at the end of the lease term. T-Mobile leases back a portion of the space at certain tower sites for an initial term of 10 years, followed by optional renewals at customary terms.
Prior to the Merger, Sprint entered into a lease-out and leaseback arrangement with Global Signal Inc., a third party that was subsequently acquired by CCI, that conveyed to CCI the exclusive right to manage and operate approximately 6,400 tower sites (“Master Lease Sites”) via a master prepaid lease. These agreements were assumed upon the close of the Merger, at which point the remaining term of the lease-out was approximately 17 years with no renewal options. CCI has a fixed price purchase option for all (but not less than all) of the leased or subleased sites for approximately $2.3 billion, exercisable one year prior to the expiration of the agreement and ending 120 days prior to the expiration of the agreement. T-Mobile leases back a portion of the space at certain tower sites for an initial term of 10 years, followed by optional renewals at customary terms.
As of the Merger closing date (April 1, 2020), T-Mobile recognized Property and equipment at a fair value of $2.8 billion and tower obligations related to amounts owed to CCI under the leaseback of $1.1 billion as the transfer of control criteria in the revenue standard for the tower assets was not met. Additionally, T-Mobile recognized $1.7 billion in other long-term liabilities associated with contract terms that are unfavorable to current market rates, which includes unfavorable terms associated with the fixed-price purchase option in 2037.
Designated Letter of Credit Facilities
In connection with the closing of the Transactions, T-Mobile USA designated obligations under certain letter of credit facilities as secured pari passu to the obligations under the Outstanding T-Mobile Secured Notes and the Credit Agreement. Such obligations are also cash collateralized and therefore effectively senior to the Notes. As of December 31, 2021, there were approximately $0.2 billion in outstanding obligations under such facilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
T-Mobile has factoring arrangements, as amended from time to time, to sell certain Equipment Installment Plan (“EIP”) accounts receivable and service accounts receivable on a revolving basis as a source of additional liquidity. In 2015, T-Mobile entered into the EIP sale arrangement, which is a revolving facility and currently has a maximum funding commitment of $1.3 billion and on November 10, 2021, T-Mobile extended the scheduled expiration date to November 18, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the EIP sale arrangement provided funding of $1.3 billion. In 2014, T-Mobile entered into the service accounts receivable arrangement which is also a revolving facility and currently has a maximum funding commitment of $950 million and on February 28, 2022, extended the scheduled expiration date to February 28, 2023. As of December 31, 2021, the service accounts receivable arrangement provided funding of $775 million. As of December 31, 2021, T-Mobile derecognized net receivables of $2.5 billion upon sale through these arrangements. These arrangements are not reflected on Parent’s consolidated balance sheet.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of exchanging Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax considerations relating to the exchange offer. This summary is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS and there can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position regarding the matters discussed below. This summary is limited to beneficial owners who hold the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws, are not discussed.
This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a beneficial owner’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to beneficial owners subject to special rules, including, without limitation, U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, persons holding Original Notes or Exchange Notes as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion, constructive sale, wash sale or other integrated transaction, banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions, real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies, brokers, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, U.S. persons that hold Original Notes or the Exchange Notes through non-U.S. brokers or other non-U.S. intermediaries, S corporations, partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein), tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, tax-deferred accounts, and governmental organizations and holders who are subject to special accounting rules (including rules requiring them to recognize income with respect to Original Notes or Exchange Notes no later than when such income is taken into account in an applicable financial statement).
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Original Notes or Exchange Notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax holding Original Notes or Exchange Notes and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the exchange offer.
An exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a beneficial owner of an Original Note will not recognize any gain or loss upon the receipt of an Exchange Note pursuant to the exchange offer, will be required to include interest on the Exchange Note in income in the same manner and to the same extent as on the Original Note and will have the same tax basis and holding period in the Exchange Note immediately after the exchange as its tax basis and holding period in the Original Note exchanged therefor.
THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER IN ITS PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCE ARISING UNDER OTHER U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC, as described in no-action letters issued to third parties that are not related to us, we believe that the Exchange Notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the Exchange Notes represents to us in the exchange offer that it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes and that it is not our affiliate, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; provided, however, that broker-dealers receiving Exchange Notes in the exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such Exchange Notes as further discussed below. We also believe that such broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to Exchange Notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the sale of the Original Notes) with this prospectus. We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person who will receive Exchange Notes in the exchange offer to distribute those securities following completion of the exchange offer. We are not aware of any person that will participate in the exchange offer with a view to distribute the Exchange Notes.
We believe that you may not transfer Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer without further compliance with such requirements or an exemption from such requirements if you are:
our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; or
a broker-dealer that acquired Original Notes as a result of market-making or other trading activities.
The information described above concerning interpretations of and positions taken by the SEC staff is not intended to constitute legal advice. Broker-dealers should consult their own legal advisors with respect to these matters.
If you wish to exchange your Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer, you will be required to make representations to us as described in “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering” and “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering—Your Representations to Us” of this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 90 days following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. Further, for a period of 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. Until (and including)     , 2022, all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own accounts pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have agreed to pay expenses incident to the exchange offer other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Original Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware Corporations
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation may and, in some cases, must be indemnified by the corporation against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by him as a result of such action and in the case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), if in either type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal action, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. This indemnification does not apply, in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the corporation, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses.
Delaware Limited Liability Companies
Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.
Delaware Limited Partnerships
Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its partnership agreement.
Georgia Corporations
The Georgia Business Corporation Code permits a corporation to indemnify a director or officer if the director or officer seeking indemnification acted in good faith and reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that his or her action was in the best interest of the corporation, (ii) in all other cases, that his or her action was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceedings, that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, provided that indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. The Georgia Business Corporation Code prohibits indemnification of a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation (other than for reasonable expenses) if it is determined that the director has not met the relevant standard of conduct, or with respect to conduct for which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received by him or her, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity. The Georgia Business Corporation Code additionally prohibits indemnification of an officer for liability arising in connection with appropriation of a business opportunity of the corporation, intentional or knowing violation of law, improper distributions or improper personal benefit.
Kansas Corporations
Section 17-6305 of the Kansas General Corporation Law (the “KGCL”) provides for indemnification by a corporation of its corporate officers, directors, employees and agents. The KGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify such persons who have been, are, or may become a party to an action, suit or proceeding due to his or her status as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Further, the KGCL grants authority to a corporation to implement its own broader indemnification policy.
Kansas Limited Liability Companies
Section 17-7670 of the Kansas Revised Limited Liability Company Act provides that subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its operating agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims

and demands whatsoever. To the extent that a present or former member, manager, officer, employee or agent of a limited liability company has been successful on the merits or otherwise as a plaintiff in an action to determine that the plaintiff is a member of a limited liability company or in defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a member, manager, officer, employee or agent of the limited liability company, or is or was serving at the request of the limited liability company as a member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such member, manager, officer, employee or agent shall be indemnified by the limited liability company against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, including attorney fees.
Nevada Limited Liability Companies
Sections 86.411 and 86.421 of the Nevada Limited-Liability Companies law permit indemnification of any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a manager, member, employee or agent of the company, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Indemnification may not be made for any claim as to which such a person has been adjudged to be liable to the company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. Nevada Limited-Liability Companies law allows a company to purchase or maintain insurance for members, managers, employees, and agents of the company.
New Hampshire Corporations
The New Hampshire Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1) he conducted himself in good faith; and (2) he reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in its best interests; and (ii) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if: (1) the director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in the preceding sentence; and (2) the director furnishes the corporation an undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct; and (3) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification. Unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, the corporation may indemnify and advance expense to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director. A corporation may not indemnify a director (x) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (y) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a New Hampshire corporation shall indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.
New York Limited Liability Companies
Section 420 of the New York Limited Liability Company Law provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its operating agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. However, no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any member, manager or other person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such member, manager or

other person establishes that (i) such person’s acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) such person personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such person was not legally entitled.
Texas Corporations
Sections 8.101 and 8.102 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (“TBOC”) provide that an enterprise may indemnify any governing person (which term excludes officers), former governing person, or a delegate who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent or defendant in (i) a threatened, pending, or completed action or other proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative), (ii) an appeal of such an action or proceeding, or (iii) an inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action or proceeding against judgments and reasonable expenses actually incurred, which expenses include reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, penalties, settlements, fines, and excises or similar taxes in connection with a proceeding, if that person (x) acted in good faith, (y) reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in that person’s official capacity, that the person’s conduct was in the enterprise’s best interests and, in any other case, that the person’s conduct was not opposed to the enterprise’s best interests, and (z) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. With respect to any action in which a person has been found liable to the enterprise or found liable because the person improperly received a personal benefit, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by that person in connection with the proceeding and will not include a judgment, penalty, fine, excise or similar tax. Indemnification may not be made in relation to a proceeding in which the person has been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of the person’s duty to the enterprise, breach of the person’s duty of loyalty owed to the enterprise or an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the enterprise. To limit indemnification, liability must be established by an order and all appeals of the order must be exhausted or foreclosed by law. Section 8.105 of the TBOC provides that an enterprise may indemnify a person who is not a governing person, including officers, agents or employees, and, in the case of officers, shall indemnify such officers to the same extent that indemnification is required for a governing person. Section 8.151 of the TBOC provides that an enterprise may purchase or procure or establish and maintain insurance or another arrangement to indemnify and hold harmless an existing or former governing person, delegate, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against and incurred by the person in that capacity or arising out of the person’s status in that capacity, and such insurance or other arrangement may apply without regard to whether the enterprise otherwise would have had the power to indemnify the person against that liability.
Virginia Corporations
The Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”) permits a Virginia corporation to indemnify its directors and officers in connection with certain actions, suits and proceedings brought against them if they acted in good faith and believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. The VSCA requires such indemnification when a director or officer entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation. The VSCA further provides that a Virginia corporation may make any other or further indemnity (including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), and may make additional provision for advances and reimbursement of expenses, if authorized by its articles of incorporation or shareholder-adopted bylaws, except an indemnity against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law.
The VSCA establishes a statutory limit on liability of directors and officers of a Virginia corporation for damages assessed against them in a suit brought by the corporation or in its right or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the corporation and authorizes it, with shareholder approval, to specify a lower monetary limit on liability in the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws; the liability of a director or officer, however, shall not be limited if such director or officer engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law.
General
The certificates of incorporation of T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) and T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile USA”) each provide for indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of T-Mobile or T-Mobile USA,

respectively, or is or was serving at the request of T-Mobile or T-Mobile USA, respectively, as a director, officer, or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, liabilities, losses, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Each of T-Mobile and T-Mobile USA applies the provisions of its certificate of incorporation to indemnification of directors and officers of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the co-registrants. In addition, the organizational documents governing certain of the co-registrants generally provide directors, managers and officers with similar rights to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of T-Mobile provides that no director is liable to T-Mobile or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
T-Mobile has entered into indemnification agreements with all of its directors and executive officers and has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Any underwriting agreement may provide for indemnification by the underwriters of the issuer(s), any guarantors and their officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

Undertakings
The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
II-19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be this initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrants;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrants or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrants to the purchaser.
(6)
The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and
II-20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(8)
To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(9)
To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

In all such examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of original and certified documents and the conformity to original or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed, electronic or reproduction copies.  As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, the statements, representations and warranties contained in the Documents, certificates and oral or written statements and other information of or from public officials, officers or other appropriate representatives of the Company, the Guarantors and others and assume compliance on the part of all parties to the Documents with their respective covenants and agreements contained therein.

Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP

To the extent it may be relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed that (i) all of the parties to the Documents (other than the Company and the DE/NY Guarantors) are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization; (ii) the parties to the Documents (other than the Company and the DE/NY Guarantors) have the power and authority to (a) execute and deliver the Documents, (b) perform their obligations thereunder and (c) consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; (iii) each of the Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto (other than the Company and the DE/NY Guarantors), (iv) each of the Documents constitutes a valid and binding obligation of all of the parties thereto (other than as expressly addressed in the opinions below as to the Company and the Guarantors), enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms; (v) all of the parties to the Documents will comply with all of their obligations under the Documents and all laws applicable thereto; (vi) the Exchange Notes will be duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indentures, against receipt of the Original Notes surrendered in exchange therefor; and (vii) the Exchange Notes and the notations of guarantee evidencing the Exchange Note Guarantees will conform to the specimens thereof examined by us.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:


1.
The Exchange Notes, when executed, issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indentures in exchange for the Original Notes in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.


2.
The Exchange Note Guarantees, when the Exchange Notes have been duly executed, issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Indentures in exchange for the Original Notes in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of each of the Guarantors, enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of any of the Documents:


(i)
relating to indemnification, contribution or exculpation;


(ii)
containing any purported waiver, release, variation of rights, disclaimer, consent or other agreement of similar effect (all of the foregoing, collectively, a “Waiver”) by the Company or the Guarantors under any of such Documents to the extent limited by provisions of applicable law (including judicial decisions), or to the extent that such a Waiver applies to a right, claim, duty, defense or ground for discharge otherwise existing or occurring as a matter of law (including judicial decisions);


(iii)
related to (a) forum selection or submission to jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue in any court or of any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum) to the extent that the validity or binding effect of such provision is to be considered by any court other than a court of the State of New York, (b) choice of governing law to the extent that the validity or binding effect of any such provision is to be considered by any court other than a court of the State of New York or a federal district court sitting in the State of New York and applying the law of the State of New York, in each case, applying the choice of law principles of the State of New York, (c) service of process or (d) waiver of any rights to trial by jury;


(iv)
specifying that provisions thereof may be modified or waived only in writing;


(v)
purporting to give any person or entity the power to accelerate obligations without any notice to the obligor;


(vi)
specifying that any person may exercise set-off or similar rights other than in accordance with applicable law;

(vii)
relating to payment of late charges, interest (or discount or equivalent amounts), premium, “make-whole” payments, collection costs or fees at a rate or in an amount, after or upon the maturity or acceleration of the liabilities evidenced or secured thereby or after or during the continuance of any default or other circumstance, or upon prepayment, that a court would determine in the circumstances to be unreasonable, a penalty or a forfeiture; or


(viii)
requiring that any unearned portion of the Original Notes or Exchange Notes issued at a discount be paid upon acceleration or otherwise earlier than the stated final maturity.

We express no opinion as to the effect of any law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York wherein any party to the Documents may be located or wherein enforcement of any Documents may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible.

We express no opinion as to any agreement, instrument or other document (including any agreement, instrument or other document referred to, or incorporated by reference in, the Documents) other than the Documents.

The opinion set forth above is subject to the following qualifications:

A.
The opinion is subject to:


(i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws (or related judicial doctrines) now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally;


(ii)
general principles of equity (including, without limitation, standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness, equitable defenses and limits as to the availability of equitable remedies) whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; and


(iii)
the application of any applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent obligation, or preferential transfer law or any law governing the distribution of assets of any person now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally.

B.
Provisions in the Indentures that provide that the Guarantors’ liability thereunder shall not be affected by (i) actions or failures to act on the part of the holders or the Trustee, (ii) amendments or waivers of provisions of documents governing the guaranteed obligations or (iii) other actions, events or circumstances that make more burdensome or otherwise change the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors, might not be enforceable under circumstances and in the event of actions that change the essential nature of the terms and conditions of the guaranteed obligations.  With respect to each Guarantor, we have assumed that consideration that is sufficient to support the agreements of each Guarantor under the Documents has been received by each Guarantor.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York and to the extent relevant to the opinions expressed herein, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the state of Delaware, each as currently in effect, and no opinion is expressed with respect to any other laws or any effect that such other laws may have on the opinions expressed herein.  This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.  This letter is given only as of the time of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and we undertake no responsibility to update or supplement this letter after such time.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This firm acts as special local counsel to Sprint Communications Company of New Hampshire, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (the “Opinion Guarantor”) a subsidiary of T-Mobile US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”) in connection with the filing on the date hereof by the Parent, T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“T-Mobile”), and certain subsidiaries of T-Mobile (including the Opinion Guarantor) of a registration statement on Form S-4, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to T-Mobile’s offer to exchange up to $800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Exchange Notes”), $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Exchange Notes”) and $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Exchange Notes” and, together with the 2026 Exchange Notes and the 2029 Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) for an equal amount of its outstanding 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Original Notes”), 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Original Notes”) and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Original Notes” and together with the 2026 Original Notes and the 2029 Original Notes, the “Original Notes”).  T-Mobile’s obligations under the Exchange Notes will be guaranteed (such guarantees, the “Exchange Guarantees”) by the Parent and the subsidiary guarantors set forth in the Registration Statement (including the Opinion Guarantor).  The Exchange Guarantees will be provided on a senior unsecured basis.  This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, 17 C.F.R. Sec. 229.601(b)(5), in connection with the Registration Statement.

In preparation of this opinion we have examined the following documents:

5.  such other documents and items as we deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion.

We have assumed without independent verification that the information furnished by the Opinion Guarantor is accurate.  We have not conducted any independent outside review of agreements, contracts, indentures, instruments, orders, judgments, rules, regulations, writs, injunctions, or decrees by which the Opinion Guarantor or any of its property may be bound nor, except as noted above, have we made any outside independent investigation as to the existence of actions, suits, investigations, or proceedings, if any, pending or threatened against the Opinion Guarantor.  We have not reviewed the financial books or records of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and, unless expressly stated, do not express any opinion as to financial or tax matters or compliance with tax laws, securities laws or blue sky laws.

In addition to the documents listed above, for purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined copies of such other agreements, instruments and documents as we have deemed an appropriate basis on which to render the opinions hereinafter expressed.  In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of all original documents, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies (including electronic copies).  We have also assumed the legal capacity for all purposes relevant hereto of all natural persons and, with respect to all parties to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than the Opinion Guarantor, that such parties had the requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments, that such parties have duly authorized such agreements or instruments by all requisite action (corporate or otherwise), that such agreements or instruments have been duly executed and delivered by such parties and that such agreements or instruments are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of all parties thereto.  As to all matters of fact, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the documents so reviewed, including all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Opinion Guarantor that we reviewed, and we have not independently established the facts so relied on.  This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New Hampshire, and we express no opinion as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New Hampshire.  This opinion is limited to the effect of the laws (including administrative and judicial interpretations) of the State of New Hampshire as they existed on the date of this letter and to the facts bearing upon the opinions below as they existed on the date of this letter, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or modify the opinions below as a consequence of any future changes in the laws or in the facts bearing upon those opinions.

Based on, subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.          Based solely upon the Certificate of Existence, the Opinion Guarantor is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of New Hampshire.

2.          The Opinion Guarantor has the corporate power under the laws of the State of New Hampshire to issue the Exchange Guarantees.

3.          Each Exchange Guarantee has been duly authorized by the Opinion Guarantor.

Section 1.01. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Company”) shall be held in the City of New York within the State of New York within the first four months of the Company’s fiscal year, on such date and at such time and place as the board of directors of the Company (“Board of Directors” or “Board”) may designate in the call or in a waiver of notice thereof, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

 

Section 1.02. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Company may be called by the Board of Directors or by the President, and shall be called by the President or by the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of record of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, at such times. If for a period of thirteen months after the last annual meeting, there is a failure to elect a sufficient number of directors to conduct the business of the Company, the Board of Directors shall call a special meeting for the election of directors within two weeks after the expiration of such period; otherwise, holders of record of ten percent (10%) of the shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote in an election of directors may, in writing, demand the call of a special meeting at the office of the Company for the election of directors, specifying the date and month thereof, but not less than two nor more than three months from the date of such call.

Notice of the time, place and purpose of every meeting of stockholders shall be delivered personally or mailed not less than 10 nor more than 50 days before the date of such meeting (or any other action) to each stockholder of record entitled to vote, at his post office address appearing upon the records of the Company or at such other address as shall be furnished in writing by him to the Secretary of the Company for such purpose. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law or by these By-Laws.

Section 1.04. Quorum. The holders of record of at least a majority of the shares of the stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall, except as otherwise provided by law, by the Company’s Organization Certificate or by these By-Laws, constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders; if there be no such quorum, the holders of a majority of such shares so present or represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall have been obtained.

The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus, dated April 22, 2022 (the “Prospectus”) of T-Mobile USA, Inc. (the “Issuer”), T-Mobile US, Inc. (the “Parent Guarantor”) and the guarantor co-registrants (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and collectively with the Parent Guarantor, the “Guarantors”), and this Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which together describe the Issuer’s offers (the “Exchange Offers”) to exchange all outstanding unregistered 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026, 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (collectively, the “Old Notes”) and in each case the guarantees of the Guarantors with respect thereto (such guarantees collectively with the Old Notes, the “Old Securities”), issued on May 13, 2021, that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for an equal principal amount of the respective series of the Issuer’s 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026, 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 and 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (collectively, the “Exchange Notes”) and in each case the guarantees of the Guarantors with respect thereto (such guarantees collectively with the Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Securities”) the offers of which have been registered under the Securities Act. The Issuer and the Guarantors are registering the Exchange Offers in reliance on the position of the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (April 13, 1989), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling (July 2, 1993).

 

The terms of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offers are substantially identical in all material respects to the Old Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting their transfer, will not contain terms providing for additional interest if the Issuer and the Guarantors fail to perform their registration obligations with respect to the Old Notes and, with limited exceptions, will not be entitled to registration rights. The Issuer is not making the Exchange Offers to holders of the Old Notes in any jurisdiction in which the Exchange Offers or the acceptance of the Exchange Offers would not be in compliance with the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdiction. Nor will the Issuer also accept surrenders for exchange from holders of the Old Notes in any jurisdiction in which the Exchange Offers or the acceptance of the Exchange Offers would not be in compliance with the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdiction.

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning given them in the Prospectus.

The undersigned or any beneficial owner represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of Exchange Securities. If the undersigned or any beneficial owner is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Old Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, the undersigned or such beneficial owner acknowledges that (i) it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their affiliates to distribute the Exchange Securities; and (ii) it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, in connection with any resale of Exchange Securities received in respect of such Old Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offers. By so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. A broker-dealer may not participate in the Exchange Offers with respect to Old Securities acquired other than as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. Any holder who is an “affiliate” of the Issuer or any Guarantor or who has an arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Exchange Securities to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offers, or any broker-dealer that purchased Old Securities from the Issuer to resell pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available exemption under the Securities Act must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act.

 

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Issuer the principal amount of the Old Notes indicated above. Unless otherwise indicated above, the undersigned will be deemed to have tendered the full aggregate principal amount represented by the Old Notes. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of any portion of the Old Notes tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers (including, if the Exchange Offers is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), the undersigned hereby exchanges, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Issuer all right, title and interest in and to such Old Notes as are being tendered herewith. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Issuer, in connection with the Exchange Offers) to cause the Old Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged.

 

The undersigned represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Old Notes and to acquire Exchange Notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Old Notes, and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, the Issuer will acquire good and unencumbered title to the tendered Old Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned also warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or the Issuer to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the tendered Old Notes or transfer ownership of such Old Notes on the account books maintained by the book-entry transfer facility. The undersigned further agrees that acceptance of any and all validly tendered Old Notes by the Issuer and the issuance of Exchange Notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in full by the Issuer of its obligations under the registration rights agreement dated as of May 13, 2021 in connection with the issuances of the Old Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and that the Issuer shall have no further obligations or liabilities thereunder. The undersigned will comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The undersigned understands that tenders of Old Notes pursuant to any one of the procedures described in the Prospectus and in the instructions attached hereto will, upon the Issuer’s acceptance for exchange of such tendered Old Notes, constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Issuer upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers. The undersigned recognizes that, under circumstances set forth in the Prospectus, the Issuer may not be required to accept for exchange any of the Old Notes.


 

By tendering Old Notes and executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that (i) the holder is not an “affiliate” of the Issuer or any Guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act or, if such an affiliate, will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable in connection with the resale of the Exchange Securities; (ii) the holder is not participating or engaged in, and does not intend to participate or engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate or engage in, the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities; (iii) the holder is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business; and (iv) if the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive the Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for the Old Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, such holder has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their affiliates to distribute the Exchange Securities and such holder will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus) meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities. If the undersigned or the person receiving such Exchange Securities, whether or not such person is the undersigned, is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Old Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

 

The undersigned understands that all resales of the Exchange Securities must be made in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws.

INSTRUCTIONS
FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

 

1. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Certificates.

 

A holder of Old Notes may tender the same by (i) properly completing and signing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering the same, together with the certificate or certificates, if applicable, representing the Old Notes being tendered and any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, to the Exchange Agent at its address set forth above on or prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) complying with the procedure for book-entry transfer described below.

 

Holders of Old Notes may tender Old Notes by book-entry transfer by crediting the Old Notes to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC in accordance with ATOP and by complying with applicable ATOP procedures with respect to the Exchange Offers. DTC participants that are accepting the Exchange Offers should transmit their acceptance to DTC, which will edit and verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC. DTC will then send a computer-generated message (an “Agent’s Message”) to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance in which the holder of the Old Notes acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of, and makes the representations and warranties contained in, this Letter of Transmittal or the DTC participant confirms on behalf of itself and the beneficial owners of such Old Notes all provisions of this Letter of Transmittal (including any representations and warranties) applicable to it and such beneficial owners as fully as if it had completed the information required herein and executed and transmitted this Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent. Delivery of the Agent’s Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Exchange Offers as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the participants identified in the Agent’s Message.

 

The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the Old Notes and any other required documents is at the election and risk of the holder, and except as otherwise provided below, the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. If such delivery is by mail, it is suggested that registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, be used. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to permit timely delivery. No Old Notes or Letters of Transmittal should be sent to the Issuer. The Issuer reserves the right to reject any particular Old Note not properly tendered, or any acceptance that might, in the Issuer’s judgment, be unlawful. The Issuer also reserves the right to waive any defects or irregularities with respect to the form of, or procedures applicable to, the tender of any particular Old Note before the expiration date. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes must be cured before the expiration date.

 

The Exchange Agent must receive the certificates for all physically tendered Old Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, together with this properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or Agent’s Message with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, prior to the Expiration Date, all as provided in the Prospectus.

 

No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of the Old Notes for exchange.

 

2. Partial Tenders (not applicable to holders that tender by book-entry transfer); Withdrawals.

 

If less than the entire principal amount of Old Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate is tendered, the tendering holder must fill in the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes tendered in the box entitled “Description of Old Notes Tendered Herewith.” A newly issued certificate for the Old Notes submitted but not tendered will be sent to such holder as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. All Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise clearly indicated.

 

If not yet accepted, a tender pursuant to the Exchange Offers may be withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date.

 

To be effective with respect to the tender of Old Notes, a written notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn, identify the Old Notes to be withdrawn (including the principal amount of such Old Notes and, if applicable, the registration numbers and total principal amount of such Old Notes) and, where certificates for Old Notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which such Old Notes were registered if different from that of the withdrawing holder. Any such notice of withdrawal must also be signed by the person having tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which these Old Notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to permit the trustee for the Old Notes to register the transfer of these Old Notes into the name of the person having made the original tender and withdrawing the tender and, if applicable because the Old Notes have been tendered through the book-entry procedure, specify the name and number of the participant’s account at DTC to be credited if different than that of the person having tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn.


 

If certificates for Old Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Exchange Agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution (as defined below) unless such holder is an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

 

If Old Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Old Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility. The Issuer will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices, and the Issuer’s determination shall be final and binding on all parties. The Issuer will deem any Old Notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offers. Any Old Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder without cost to the holder (or, in the case of Old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account of DTC according to the procedures described above, such Old Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for Old Notes) promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offers. Properly withdrawn Old Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering” in the Prospectus at any time prior to the expiration time.

 

3. Signature on this Letter of Transmittal; Written Instruments and Endorsements; Guarantee of Signatures.

 

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificates without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If any of the Old Notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

 

If a number of Old Notes registered in different names are tendered, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Old Notes.

 

When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder or holders (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Old Notes) of Old Notes listed and tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are required.

 

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder or holders of the Old Notes listed, such Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by separate written instruments of transfer or exchange in form satisfactory to the Issuer and duly executed by the registered holder, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or holders appear(s) on the Old Notes.

 

If this Letter of Transmittal, any certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Issuer, proper evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of their authority so to act must be submitted.

 

Endorsements on certificates or signatures on separate written instruments of transfer or exchange required by this Instruction 3 must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

 

Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution, unless Old Notes are tendered: (i) by a holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal; or (ii) for the account of an Eligible Guarantor Institution. In the event that the signatures in this Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, such guarantees must be by an Eligible Guarantor Institution which is a member of a firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or another “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (an “Eligible Guarantor Institution”). If Old Notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal, the Old Notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by the Issuer, in its sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the signature thereon guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution.


 

4. Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions.

 

Tendering holders should indicate, as applicable, the name and address to which the Exchange Notes or certificates for Old Notes not exchanged are to be issued or delivered, if different from the name or address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the taxpayer identification number of the person named must also be indicated and, as described in Instruction 8, a duly completed IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8, as applicable, must be provided. Holders tendering Old Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Old Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the book-entry transfer facility as such holder may designate.

 

5. Transfer Taxes

 

If certificates representing Exchange Notes or Old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be registered or issued in the name of any person other than the registered holder of the Old Notes tendered, or if tendered Old Notes or Exchange Notes are to be registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any other reason, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person) will be payable by the applicable holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such applicable holder.

 

6. Waiver of Conditions.

 

The Issuer reserves the absolute right to waive, in whole or in part, any of the conditions to the Exchange Offers set forth in the Prospectus.

 

7. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Securities.

 

Any holder whose Old Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated below for further instructions.

 

8. Taxpayer Information; IRS Form W-9; IRS Form W-8.

 

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a tendering holder whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange for Exchange Notes may be subject to backup withholding on reportable payments made on the Exchange Notes unless the holder provides the Exchange Agent, Issuer, or other payor with its correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) and certain other information on Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, which is provided below, or otherwise establishes an exemption. If the Exchange Agent, Issuer or other payor is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, a holder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the IRS, and backup withholding (currently, at a rate of 24%) may apply to any reportable payments on the Exchange Notes made to such holder. Such reportable payments generally will be subject to information reporting, even if the Exchange Agent, Issuer or other payor is provided with a TIN. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely provided to the IRS.

 

To prevent backup withholding on reportable payments made on the Exchange Notes, each holder that is a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes should provide a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9. Please see the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for further information.

 

Certain holders (including, among others, generally all corporations and certain non-U.S. persons) are not subject to backup withholding. Exempt U.S. holders may establish their exempt status on IRS Form W-9. A non-U.S. holder may establish an exemption from backup withholding by submitting a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY, as the case may be, together with any required attachments, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that holder’s non-U.S. status. The applicable IRS Form W-8 can be obtained from the IRS website at www.irs.gov.


 

9. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.

 

Questions relating to the procedure for tendering, as well as requests for additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address and telephone number set forth above. In addition, all questions relating to the Exchange Offers, as well as requests for assistance or additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address and telephone number indicated above.

 

IMPORTANT: This Letter of Transmittal (together with certificates of Old Notes or confirmation of book-entry transfer and all other required documents) must be received by the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date.
