PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To prospectus dated June 22, 2020)
T-Mobile US, Inc.
Up to $2,034,250,000 in Subscription Rights to Purchase Shares of Common Stock
Up to 19,750,000 Shares of Common Stock Deliverable Upon Exercise of Rights to
Subscribe for Such Shares at $103.00 per Share
On June 26, 2020 (the “distribution date”), we are distributing at no charge to the record holders of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “common stock”), as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 25, 2020 (the “record date”), transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 19,750,000 shares of our common stock. Each of Deutsche Telekom, SoftBank (each as defined below), Marcelo Claure and their respective affiliates have agreed to waive their ability to exercise or transfer subscription rights. We refer to this offering as the “rights offering.” We will distribute to our stockholders one transferable subscription right for every share of our common stock that they own on the record date. Each transferable subscription right entitles the holder to purchase 0.05 shares of our common stock (the “basic subscription right”), at the subscription price of $103.00 per whole share of common stock (the “subscription price”). The subscription price is equivalent to the price to the public of the common shares sold by us in the Public Equity Offering (as defined below). As further described herein, the total number of shares of our common stock that are outstanding before and after the rights offering, the Public Equity Offering (as defined below) and the other Related Transactions (as defined below) are effected will remain the same. As a result, if you do not choose to exercise your rights, this will have no dilutive impact on your shareholding. Common shares delivered to you pursuant to your exercise of subscription rights may be issued from treasury or may involve common shares repurchased from SoftBank as further described herein. The rights are transferable and are expected to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “TMUSR” until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 27, 2020 (or if the offer is extended, until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the extended expiration date).
Rights holders who fully exercise their basic subscription rights, other than as described herein, will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares of our common stock that remain unsubscribed as a result of any unexercised basic subscription rights (the “over-subscription right”). The over-subscription right allows a rights holder to subscribe for additional shares of our common stock at the subscription price. We refer to the basic subscription rights and over-subscription rights as “rights” or “subscription rights.” Subscription rights may only be exercised in aggregate for whole numbers of shares of our common stock; no fractional shares of our common stock will be issued or delivered in this rights offering. Any fractional shares of our common stock created by the exercise of the subscription rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
The subscription rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 27, 2020 (the “expiration date”), unless extended as described herein. We may extend the period for exercising the subscription rights as described below. You may not revoke the exercise of a subscription right after receipt of the payment of the subscription price as described in this prospectus supplement. Subscription rights that are not exercised at or before the expiration date of this rights offering will expire and will have no value. There is no minimum number of shares of our common stock that we must sell in order to complete this rights offering.
We will use the net proceeds that we receive from the exercise of the subscription rights issued in this rights offering 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 and the Related Transactions, 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., which is equal to the aggregate subscription price to the public for our common stock that is paid upon the exercise of the subscription rights.
As discussed under “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 through this rights offering, a private placement of cash mandatory exchangeable trust securities (the “Mandatory Exchangeable Private Placement”), an offering of up to 154,147,026 shares of our common stock in an underwritten registered offering (“Public Equity Offering”) and a sale to Marcelo Claure, one of our directors (collectively, the “Related Transactions”). The closing of the Public Equity 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 the Public Equity Offering. The closing of this rights offering is also contingent upon the closing of the Public Equity Offering. Investors who acquire our common stock in any of the Related Transactions will not receive subscription rights with respect to such common stock pursuant to this rights offering. Our obligation to conduct the rights offering is subject to the consummation of the Public Equity Offering. In connection with T-Mobile agreeing to and facilitating this rights offering and the Related Transactions, SoftBank has agreed to pay T-Mobile $300 million (the “TMUS Fee”) upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date when at least 50% of the Released Shares (as defined herein) have been transferred or (ii) October 2, 2020. Upon the closing of the Public Equity Offering, the first of such triggers will have been satisfied and therefore such amount will be due and payable. Each of Deutsche Telekom, SoftBank, Marcelo Claure and their respective affiliates have agreed to waive their ability to exercise or transfer any subscription rights to purchase common stock that are distributed to them in this rights offering.
Immediately following this rights offering and the use of proceeds thereof to repurchase shares from SoftBank and after giving effect to the Related Transactions, and assuming that all eligible shareholders exercise their rights in full and that the underwriters of the Public Equity 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 “Related Transactions” and may be deemed to be our affiliate.
Our common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “TMUS.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on NASDAQ on June 22, 2020 was $106.60 per share. We urge you to obtain a current market price for the shares of our common stock before making any determination with respect to the exercise of your rights.
