ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On May 25, 2004, Cingular Wireless LLC (“Cingular”) and T-Mobile USA (“T-Mobile”) announced that they would end their network infrastructure joint venture in New York, California and Nevada, with Cingular selling the California and Nevada network and certain California and Nevada spectrum to T-Mobile for approximately $2.5 billion.
Cingular will also receive 10MHz of spectrum from T-Mobile in the New York BTA as part of the dissolution terms originally agreed in 2001. T-Mobile, in addition to acquiring the network infrastructure in California and Nevada, will obtain 10MHz of additional spectrum from Cingular in the San Francisco, Sacramento and Las Vegas BTAs as well as an option to buy an additional 10MHz of spectrum in the Los Angeles and San Diego BTAs. Both Cingular and T-Mobile will retain their own customers.
The closing of the transaction is contingent upon the closing of Cingular’s acquisition of AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. In addition, the transaction is subject to approvals from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission and U.S. Department of Justice and other normal closing conditions.
