PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated June 22, 2020)
133,548,303 Shares
T-Mobile US, Inc.Common Stock
We are offering 133,548,303 shares of our common stock.
We will use the net proceeds that we receive from this offering of shares of our common stock to repurchase an equal number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from a subsidiary of SoftBank Group Corp., a Japanese kabushiki kaisha (“SoftBank”) which, immediately prior to this offering, holds 24.6% of our outstanding common stock and may be deemed to be our affiliate. The purchase price payable by us to SoftBank will be equal to the total proceeds to T-Mobile US, Inc. set forth in the table below, which is equal to the aggregate public offering price of our common stock offered hereby, less the underwriting discounts and commissions referred to below.
As discussed under “Summary—Related Transactions,” SoftBank is expected to dispose of an aggregate of up to 198,314,426 shares of our common stock currently held by SoftBank in connection with this offering, a private placement of cash mandatory exchangeable trust securities (the “Mandatory Exchangeable Private Placement”), a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) and a sale to Marcelo Claure, one of our directors (collectively, the “Related Transactions”). The closing of this offering is contingent upon the closing of the private placement of cash mandatory exchangeable trust securities and the closing of the private placement of cash mandatory exchangeable trust securities is contingent upon the closing of this offering. The closing of this offering is not contingent upon the closing of the sale to Mr. Claure, but the sale to Mr. Claure is contingent upon the closing of this offering.
Immediately following this offering and the use of proceeds thereof to repurchase shares from SoftBank and after giving effect to the Related Transactions, and assuming that the underwriters of this offering and the initial purchasers in the private placement of cash mandatory exchangeable trust securities exercise in full their options to purchase additional securities, it is anticipated that Deutsche Telekom AG, an Aktiengesellschaft organized and existing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (“Deutsche Telekom”) will hold 43.5% of our common stock and SoftBank will hold 8.6% of our common stock. Deutsche Telekom will continue to have voting control over the shares owned by SoftBank and Marcelo Claure, will continue to consolidate the Company’s financials through the voting proxy described under “Summary — Related Transactions,” and may be deemed to be our affiliate.
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “TMUS.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on June 19, 2020 was $106.90 per share.
The underwriters have reserved for sale at the public offering price up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock being offered by this prospectus for sale to certain officers of SoftBank to be designated by SoftBank. We do not know if these persons will choose to purchase all or any portion of these reserved shares, but any purchases they do make will reduce the number of shares available to the general public. See “Underwriting−Reserved Shares.”
Up to 19,750,000 shares of our common stock are expected to be reserved for repurchase by us from SoftBank in connection with a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”). We plan to distribute to the holders of our common stock as of June 25, 2020 a registered, transferable right in respect of each share outstanding on that date to purchase 0.05 shares of our common stock at the same price per share as the common stock sold in this offering. The rights are expected to be delivered concurrently with the closing of this offering and are expected to be exercisable until July 27, 2020 (a period of approximately 30 days). Each of Deutsche Telekom, SoftBank, Marcelo Claure and their respective affiliates have agreed to waive their ability to exercise or transfer such rights.
