Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, on September 6, 2022, Sprint Communications LLC, a Kansas limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“T-Mobile”) and Sprint LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile (“Seller”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell the U.S. long haul fiber network, including the non-U.S. extensions thereof (the “Wireline Business”) to Cogent Infrastructure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

On May 1, 2023, Buyer and Seller consummated the Transaction (as defined below) contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Buyer purchased and received from Seller all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Purchased Interests”) of a newly formed Delaware limited liability company that holds assets and liabilities relating to the Wireline Business (such transactions as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, collectively, the “Transaction”).

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the parties agreed to a $1 purchase price in consideration for the Purchased Interests, subject to adjustments for cash, working capital and other customary items, which resulted in Buyer paying to Seller approximately $61.1 million. In addition, at the Closing, T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct subsidiary of T-Mobile (“TMUSA”), and an affiliate of Buyer entered into an agreement for IP transit services (the “IP Transit Agreement”), pursuant to which TMUSA will pay Buyer an aggregate of $700 million, consisting of (i) $350 million in equal monthly installments during the first year after the Closing and (ii) $350 million in equal monthly installments over the subsequent forty-two months.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 7, 2022 (the “Signing 8-K”), T-Mobile expected to recognize a total pre-tax charge of approximately $1 billion in the third quarter of 2022, due to T-Mobile’s adjustment of the carrying value of the Wireline Business and establishment of the liability for the contractual payments of the Transaction, including the $700 million of fees payable pursuant to the IP Transit Agreement. As of March 31, 2023, T-Mobile has recognized net losses on disposal of the Wireline Business of approximately $1 billion and does not expect a material change to the loss on disposal in the second quarter ending June 30, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Signing 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains certain forward-looking statements concerning T-Mobile and the proposed Transaction. All statements other than statements of fact, including information concerning future results, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the proposed transactions, including anticipated future financial and operating results, T-Mobile’s objectives, expectations and intentions, the accounting treatment of the proposed transaction, and the expected timing of completion of the proposed transaction. There are several factors which could cause actual plans and results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the proposed transaction on a timely basis or at all; the occurrence of events that may give rise to a right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive agreement; adverse effects on the market price of T-Mobile’s common stock and on T-Mobile’s operating results because of a failure to complete the proposed transaction in the anticipated timeframe or at all; negative effects of the announcement, pendency or consummation of the proposed transaction on the market price of T-Mobile’s common stock and on T-Mobile’s operating results, including as a result of changes in key customer, supplier, employee or other business relationships; the risk of litigation or regulatory actions; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in T-Mobile’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, including in the sections thereof captioned “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” as well as in its subsequent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q, all of which are filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov and www.t-mobile.com. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, persons reading this communication are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
