The Reporting Persons are party to certain agreements with the Separately Filing Group Members (as defined in Item 2), which agreements contain, among other things, certain voting agreements and transfer and other restrictions. As a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, comprised of the Reporting Persons and the Separately Filing Group Members.
Except as set forth below, all Items of this Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 7 and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in this Schedule 13D.
Item 2. | Identity and Background |
This Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, comprised of the Reporting Persons and the other persons referred to in Schedule B attached to this Schedule 13D (the Separately Filing Group Members). It is the understanding of the Reporting Persons that the Separately Filing Group Members are filing a separate Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Exchange Act. Schedule B attached to this Schedule 13D sets forth certain information concerning the Separately Filing Group Members, which information is based solely on the information contained in the Schedule 13D filed by the Separately Filing Group Members.
Item 4. | Purpose of the Transaction |
This Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The information set forth in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, including without limitation as to the rights and obligations of the Reporting Persons pursuant to the terms of the agreements described in Item 6 and the other matters described therein, is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a)-(b) The information contained in the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons in the aggregate may be deemed to beneficially own 843,196,990 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 68.3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of immediately following the Merger Transactions (as defined in Item 6) and after giving effect to the SoftBank Disposition (as defined in Item 6). This includes (i) 538,590,941 shares of Common Stock held by DT Holding and (ii) based solely on the information contained in the Schedule 13D filed by the Separately Filing Group Members, as set forth in Schedule B, 304,606,049 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Separately Filing Group Members.
Due to the fact that T-Mobile Holding, T-Mobile Global and Deutsche Telekom may be deemed to control DT Holding, each of T-Mobile Holding, T-Mobile Global and Deutsche Telekom may be deemed to beneficially own, and to have power to vote or direct the vote of, or dispose or direct the disposition of, all the Common Stock held by DT Holding. In addition, as a result of the Proxy (as defined in Item 6) granted by SoftBank in favor of Deutsche Telekom pursuant to the Proxy Agreement (as defined in Item 6), each of DT Holding, T-Mobile Holding, T-Mobile Global and Deutsche Telekom may be deemed to beneficially own, and to have power to vote or direct the vote of, all the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Separately Filing Group Members. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock that such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own. Without limiting the foregoing, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by any other Reporting Person or any of the Separately Filing Group Members. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any partner, member, director, officer or affiliate of any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock that such partner, member, director, officer or affiliate may be deemed to beneficially own.
Dr. Uli Kühbacher, a Managing Director of T-Mobile Holding, beneficially owns 100 shares of Common Stock, which represents less than 0.01% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on April 1, 2020 as of immediately following the Merger Transactions (as defined in Item 6) and after giving effect to the SoftBank Disposition. Ms. Michaela Klitsch, a Managing Director of T-Mobile Holding, beneficially owns 48 shares of Common Stock, which represents less than 0.01% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on April 1, 2020 as of immediately following the Merger Transactions and after giving effect to the SoftBank Disposition. To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, Dr. Uli Kühbacher has the sole power to vote or direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, and Ms. Michaela Klitsch has the sole power to vote or direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by her.
(c) Except as set forth in this Item 5, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Reporting Persons or the Separately Filing Group Members or the persons set forth on Schedules A-1 through A-4 has beneficial ownership of, or, except as set forth in Item 6, has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in, any Common Stock.
(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of, the securities that are the subject of this Schedule 13D, other than, with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Separately Filing Group Members that are subject to the Proxy, SoftBank and its applicable affiliates.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018 (as amended, the Business Combination Agreement), by and among T-Mobile, Sprint Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Sprint), Huron Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile (Merger Company), Superior Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Company (Merger Sub), Starburst I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Starburst), Galaxy Investment Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Galaxy and, together with Starburst, the SoftBank US HoldCos), and for the limited purposes set forth therein, Deutsche Telekom, DT Holding, and SoftBank Group Corp., a Japanese kabushiki kaisha (SoftBank), on April 1, 2020 (the Closing Date), (i) the SoftBank US HoldCos merged with and into Merger Company, with Merger Company continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile (the HoldCo Mergers), and (ii) immediately following the HoldCo Mergers, Merger Sub merged with and into Sprint, with Sprint continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of T-Mobile (the Merger and, together with the HoldCo Mergers, the Merger Transactions). In connection with the completion of the Merger Transactions, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement waived the condition to closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement with respect to the final consent of the California Public Utilities Commission (the CPUC), to the extent required, such that all regulatory approvals required for the Merger Transactions to be completed on April 1, 2020 were satisfied or waived as of such date. The parties entered into this waiver without any admission as to whether such final consent was required in connection with the Merger Transactions, following the release of the CPUCs proposed decision to approve the Merger on March 11, 2020.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) at the effective time of the HoldCo Mergers, all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Galaxy, par value $0.01 per share, and all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Starburst, par value $0.01 per share, held by SoftBank Group Capital Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales and a wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank and the sole stockholder of each of Galaxy and Starburst (SoftBank UK), were converted such that SoftBank UK received an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) 0.10256 (the Exchange Ratio) and (y) the aggregate number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Sprint (Sprint Common Stock), held by the SoftBank US HoldCos, collectively, immediately prior to the effective time of the HoldCo Mergers, and (ii) at the effective time of the Merger (the BCA Effective Time), each share of Sprint Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the BCA Effective Time (other than shares of Sprint Common Stock held by Merger Company or held by Sprint as treasury stock) were converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger Transactions. Each holder of Sprint Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger Transactions who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Common Stock (after taking into account all shares held by such holder) will instead receive cash (without interest) in lieu of such fractional share in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.
In addition, immediately following the BCA Effective Time on the Closing Date, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2020 (the Letter Agreement), by and among T-Mobile, SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom, SoftBank UK surrendered to T-Mobile, for no additional consideration, an aggregate of 48,751,557 shares (the SoftBank Specified Shares Amount) of Common Stock (the SoftBank Disposition).
The Letter Agreement further provides that if the trailing 45-day volume-weighted average price per share of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the NASDAQ) is equal to or greater than $150.00 at any time during the period commencing on the second anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2025, T-Mobile will issue to SoftBank, for no additional consideration, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the SoftBank Specified Shares Amount (the Additional Shares), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Letter Agreement.
As of immediately following the Merger Transactions and after giving effect to the SoftBank Disposition, Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank held approximately 43% and 24%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Stock, with the remaining approximately 33% of the outstanding Common Stock held by public stockholders, in each case on a fully diluted basis. Prior to the completion of the Merger Transactions, Deutsche Telekom held approximately 63% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Common Stock continues to trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol TMUS.
The foregoing description of the Merger Transactions and the SoftBank Disposition does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 25 to this Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendments No. 1 and No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 41 and 44, respectively, to this Schedule 13D, and the Letter Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 45 to this Schedule 13D.
Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on April 1, 2020, T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank entered into an amendment and restatement (the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement) of the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013, by and between T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom.
The Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement includes provisions setting forth the rights of Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank to designate individuals to be nominees for election to T-Mobiles board of directors (the Board) and any committees thereof. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, at all times when Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank beneficially own at least 50% of the outstanding Common Stock and any other securities of T-Mobile that are entitled to vote in the election of directors (collectively, T-Mobile Voting Securities) in the aggregate and any such T-Mobile Voting Security continues to be subject to the Proxy (as defined below), (i) the Board will consist of a total of 14 directors, (ii) each of Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank (except, in the case of SoftBank, if it beneficially owns less than a certain minimum percentage of the outstanding T-Mobile Voting Securities (10% if the condition giving rise to SoftBanks right to the Additional Shares has been satisfied, or 9% if it has not)) has the right to designate a specified number of nominees for election to the Board in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, subject to certain requirements, including requirements with respect to the independence of certain nominees under applicable stock exchange listing standards and rules of the SEC, (iii) the chairperson of the Board will be a Deutsche Telekom designee and (iv) the Board will have certain committees, which committees will be comprised in the manner specified in the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement. The Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement further provides that at all times when Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding T-Mobile Voting Securities in the aggregate or no T-Mobile Voting Security continues to be subject to the Proxy, then, in each case, each of Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank has the right to designate a number of nominees for election to the Board equal to the percentage of T-Mobile Voting Stock that it beneficially owns (provided that such percentage is 10% or more) multiplied by the number of directors on the Board, rounded to the nearest whole number greater than zero.
Based on the percentages of Common Stock beneficially owned by Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank as of immediately following the Merger Transactions and after giving effect to the SoftBank Disposition, under the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, Deutsche Telekom has the right to designate nine individuals to be nominees for election to the Board and SoftBank has the right to designate four individuals to be nominees for election to the Board.
In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, as modified by certain transitional arrangements agreed to between the parties, as of immediately following the BCA Effective Time, the Board consists of a total of 14 directors, including nine directors designated by Deutsche Telekom, three directors designated by SoftBank, and each of John J. Legere (who will not be deemed to be a designee of Deutsche Telekom or of SoftBank for purposes of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement) and G. Michael Sievert.
In addition, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement and T-Mobiles amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (i) as long as Deutsche Telekom beneficially owns 30% or more of the outstanding T-Mobile Voting Securities, T-Mobile will not take certain actions without Deutsche Telekoms prior written consent, including (a) incurring indebtedness above certain levels based on a specified debt to cash flow ratio, (b) taking any action that would cause a default under any instrument evidencing indebtedness of Deutsche Telekom or its affiliates, (c) acquiring or disposing of assets or entering into mergers or similar acquisitions in excess of $1.0 billion, (d) changing the size of the Board, (e) subject to certain exceptions, issuing equity of 10% or more of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, or issuing equity to redeem debt held by Deutsche Telekom, (f) repurchasing or redeeming equity securities or making any extraordinary or in-kind dividend other than on a pro
rata basis, or (g) making certain changes involving the Chief Executive Officer of T-Mobile, and (ii) as long as SoftBank beneficially owns 22.5% or more of the outstanding T-Mobile Voting Securities, T-Mobile will not take certain actions without SoftBanks prior written consent, including (a) acquiring or disposing of assets or entering into mergers or similar acquisitions in excess of $1.0 billion (other than a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement), for which the prior written consent of SoftBank will not be required, but for which SoftBank has a match right as set forth in the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement) or (b) subject to certain exceptions, issuing equity of 10% or more of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock. T-Mobile has also agreed not to amend its certificate of incorporation and bylaws in any manner that could adversely affect Deutsche Telekoms or SoftBanks rights under the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement for as long as the applicable stockholder beneficially owns 5% or more of the outstanding T-Mobile Voting Securities.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, Deutsche Telekom, SoftBank and their respective affiliates are generally prohibited from acquiring T-Mobile Voting Securities that would cause their collective beneficial ownership to exceed 80.1% of the outstanding T-Mobile Voting Securities unless such acquiring stockholder makes an offer to acquire all of the then-remaining outstanding shares of Common Stock at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed acquisition from all other stockholders of T-Mobile, which is either (i) accepted or approved by a majority of the directors on the Board, which majority includes a majority of the directors who are not affiliated with Deutsche Telekom or SoftBank under the terms of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the Required Approval), or (ii) accepted or approved by holders (other than Deutsche Telekom, SoftBank and their respective affiliates) of a majority of the shares of Common Stock (other than shares held by Deutsche Telekom, SoftBank and their respective affiliates). Each of Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank is also prohibited from transferring any shares of Common Stock in any transaction that would result in the transferee owning more than 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock unless the transfer is approved by the Board (including the Required Approval) or the transferee offers to acquire all of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer.
So long as SoftBank beneficially owns 22.5% or more of the outstanding T-Mobile Voting Securities, the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement also provides SoftBank with a match right in connection with a possible sale of T-Mobile (whether initiated by T-Mobile or a third party).
The Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement sets forth certain additional rights and obligations of each of Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank, including information rights, registration rights and non-competition restrictions.
The foregoing summary of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 46 hereto.
Proxy Agreement
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on April 1, 2020, Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank entered into a Proxy, Lock-up and ROFR Agreement (the Proxy Agreement). The Proxy Agreement establishes between Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank certain rights and obligations in respect of the shares of Common Stock owned by each of Deutsche Telekom, SoftBank and certain of their respective affiliates to enable Deutsche Telekom to consolidate T-Mobile into Deutsche Telekoms financial statements following the completion of the Merger Transactions. Pursuant to the Proxy Agreement, at any meeting of the stockholders of T-Mobile, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by SoftBank will be voted in the manner directed by Deutsche Telekom (the Proxy), which obligation will terminate upon the earliest of: (i) with respect to each such share of Common Stock, the date on which such share is transferred to a third party in accordance with the terms of the Proxy Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, (ii) the date on which Deutsche Telekom owns 55% or more of the outstanding T-Mobile Voting Securities and (iii) the date on which Deutsche Telekom has transferred an aggregate number of shares representing 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock as of immediately following the BCA Effective Time. The Proxy Agreement also contains certain restrictions on the ability of each of SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom to transfer or acquire shares of Common Stock, including that each of SoftBank and Deutsche
Telekom is not permitted to transfer its shares without the prior written consent of the other stockholder from and after the BCA Effective Time until the fourth anniversary of the BCA Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions, including for transfers of up to 5% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the BCA Effective Time beginning after the first anniversary of the BCA Effective Time and up to an additional 10% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the BCA Effective Time beginning after the second anniversary of the BCA Effective Time. As a result of the Proxy Agreement, T-Mobile continues to be a controlled company for purposes of NASDAQ rules, which provides T-Mobile with exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under NASDAQ rules.
The foregoing description of the Proxy Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Proxy Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 47 hereto.

On April 1, 2020, pursuant to the Financing Matters Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018, by and between Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile USA, Inc.
