This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D filed by Sprint Corporation, a Kansas corporation, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2005.

 

The items of the Schedule 13D set forth below are hereby amended as follows:

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

 

Item 4 is amended by deleting the fifth paragraph and replacing it in its entirety with the following:

 

In connection with the Merger Agreement and for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated thereby, Sprint entered into a Shareholders Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2005, as modified by a letter agreement dated August 1, 2005 (the “Shareholders Agreement”), with the following shareholders: William L. Henning, William L. Henning, Jr., John A. Henning Sr., Thomas G. Henning, Lena B. Henning, John A. Henning Exempt Class Trust No. 1, William L. Henning, Jr. Exempt Class Trust No. 1, Thomas G. Henning Exempt Class Trust No. 1, Cameron Communications, L.L.C. and The 1818 Fund III, L.P. (collectively, the “Tendering Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, the Tendering Shareholders agreed to tender an aggregate of 45,671,782 Shares owned by the Tendering Shareholders (the “Committed Shares”) in the Offer and, if necessary, to vote the Committed Shares in favor of the Merger. As of June 30, 2005, the Committed Shares represented approximately 27% of the Shares issued and outstanding and approximately 25% of the Shares issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is amended by deleting the first paragraph and replacing it in its entirety with the following:

 

As of the date hereof, Sprint owns no Shares. For purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, however, as a result of entering into the Shareholders Agreement, Sprint may be deemed to possess beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 45, 671,782 Shares representing approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Sprint and the persons listed in Schedule 1 hereto, however, disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities, and this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that Sprint or any person listed on Schedule 1 hereto is the beneficial owner for any purpose of the securities covered by this Statement.

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

 

Item 7 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

 

4. Letter Agreement regarding Shareholders Agreement, dated August 1, 2005, among Sprint Corporation, William L. Henning, Jr. and Thomas G. Henning (filed as Exhibit (d)(7) to Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO filed on August 1, 2005 and incorporated herein by reference).
