        <footnote id="F1">Share units are issued under Sprint Nextel Corporation's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the &quot;Plan&quot;) and are convertible into an amount of cash equal to the value of the issuer's common stock upon the reporting person's retirement, death, or termination of employment in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  Termination of employment occurred as a result of the issuer's spin-off from Sprint Nextel Corporation.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Due to an administrative error, the reporting person's original Form 4 misstated an acquisition of share units held in the Plan as an acquisition of common stock held in the Plan.  These share units were issued under the terms of the Plan in connection with the issuer's spin-off from Sprint Nextel Corporation.</footnote>
