Explanation of Responses:
1. The reporting person may be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest as the General Partner of TA Strategic Partners Fund A L.P. and TA Strategic Partners Fund B L.P. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares because the reporting person's indirect pecuniary interest is subject to indeterminable future events.
2. The shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") converted, along with any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, into common stock of MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (the "Company"). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock represented an original investment of $100 which, with the accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, was converted to the Company's common stock at the rate of approximately $3.13 per share of common stock.
3. The shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock") converted, along with any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, into common stock of MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (the "Company"). Each share of Series E Preferred Stock represented an original investment of $100 which, with the accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, was converted to the Company's common stock at the rate of $9.00 per share of common stock.
4. The Series D Preferred Stock had been automatically convertible upon (i) completion of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended); (ii) the Common Stock trading on a national securities exchange for a period of 30 consecutive trading dates above a price that implies a market valuation of the Series D Preferred Stock in excess of twice the initial purchase price of the Series D Preferred Stock; or (iii) the date specified by the holders of two-thirds of the initial purchase price of the Series D Preferred Stock. If not previously converted, the Company was required to redeem all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock on July 17, 2015, at the liquidation value plus accrued but unpaid dividends.
5. The Series E Preferred Stock had been automatically convertible upon (i) completion of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended); (ii) the Common Stock trading on a national securities exchange for a period of 30 consecutive trading dates above a price that implies a market valuation of the Series E Preferred Stock in excess of twice the initial purchase price of the Series E Preferred Stock; or (iii) the date specified by the holders of two-thirds of the initial purchase price of the Series E Preferred Stock. If not previously converted, the Company was required to redeem all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock on July 17, 2015, at the liquidation value plus accrued but unpaid dividends.
