Item 1.01  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 20, 2018, T-Mobile USA, Inc. (the “T-Mobile USA”) entered into the Thirty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) by and among T-Mobile USA, the guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trustee”), which amends and supplements the Indenture, dated April 28, 2013, by and among T-Mobile USA, the guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”).

 

The Supplemental Indenture effects certain amendments (the “Indenture Amendments”) to the Indenture pertaining to T-Mobile USA’s (i) 6.000% Senior Notes due 2023 (CUSIP No. 87264AAM7) (the “2023 Notes”), (ii) 6.500% Senior Notes due 2024 (CUSIP No. 87264AAJ4) (the “6.500% 2024 Notes”), (iii) 6.000% Senior Notes due 2024 (CUSIP No. 87264AAQ8) (the “6.000% 2024 Notes”), (iv) 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (CUSIP No. 87264AAN5) (the “2025 Notes”), (v) 6.500% Notes due 2026 (CUSIP No. 87264AAP0) (the “2026 Notes” and, collectively with the 2023 Notes, the 6.500% 2024 Notes, the 6.000% 2024 Notes and the 2025 Notes, the “Pre-2017 Notes”), (vi) 4.000% Senior Notes due 2022 (CUSIP No. 87264AAR6) (the “2022 Notes”), (vii) 5.125% Senior Notes due 2025 (CUSIP No. 87264AAS4) (the “5.125% 2025 Notes”), (viii) 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (CUSIP No. 87264AAT2) (the “2027 Notes”), (ix) 4.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (CUSIP No. 87264AAU9) (the “4.500% 2026 Notes”) and (x) 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (CUSIP No. 87264AAV7) (the “2028 Notes”, and together with the 4.500% 2026 Notes, the “2018 Notes”, and the 2028 Notes together with the 2022 Notes, 5.125% 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes and the 4.500% 2026 Notes, the “Post-2017 Notes”, and the Post-2017 Notes together with the Pre-2017 Notes, the “Notes”, and each series of the Notes, a “Series”). Holders representing at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each Series of the Notes consented to the Indenture Amendments.

 

The Indenture Amendments are being effected in connection with the previously announced agreement by T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) to merge (the “Merger”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”), pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of April 29, 2018, among Sprint, T-Mobile, SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”), Deutsche Telekom AG and the additional parties thereto (the Merger, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “T-Mobile/Sprint Transaction”).

 

The Indenture Amendments, among other things, amend the Indenture (i) pertaining to the Pre-2017 Notes to increase the amount of secured debt under the Credit Facilities ratio basket from the greater of (x) $9.0 billion and (y) 150% of Consolidated Cash Flow (as defined in the Indenture, as applicable to the Pre-2017 Notes) to the greater of (x) $9.0 billion and (y) an amount that would not cause the Secured Debt to Cash Flow Ratio (as defined in the Indenture, as applicable to the Post-2017 Notes) (calculated net of cash and cash equivalents) to exceed 2.00x and (ii) pertaining to all Notes to allow certain entities related to Sprint’s existing spectrum securitization notes program (the “Existing Sprint Spectrum Program”) to be non-guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture), provided that the aggregate principal amount of the spectrum notes issued and outstanding under the Existing Sprint Spectrum Program does not exceed $7.0 billion and provided that the principal amount of such spectrum notes shall reduce the amount available under the Credit Facilities ratio basket.  The Indenture Amendments will become effective immediately prior to the consummation of the T-Mobile Transaction.

 

The Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1. The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Supplemental Indenture, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of May 14, 2017 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), we (i) solicited consents (the “Ratio Secured Debt Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Pre-2017 Notes to conform Section 4.09(b)(1) of the Indenture, as applicable to the Pre-2017 Notes, to Section 4.09(b)(1) of the Indenture, as applicable to the Post-2017 Notes, by increasing the amount of Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) under Credit Facilities (as defined in the Indenture) that can be incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1) from the greater of (x) $9.0 billion and (y) 150% of Consolidated Cash Flow (as defined in the Indenture, as applicable to the Pre-2017 Notes) to the greater of (x) $9.0 billion and (y) an amount that would not cause the Secured Debt to Cash Flow Ratio (as defined in the Indenture, as applicable to the Post-2017 Notes) (calculated net of cash and cash equivalents) to exceed 2.00x (the “Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments”), and (ii) solicited consents (the “Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP Consent Solicitation”, and together with the Ratio Secured Debt Consent Solicitation, the “Consent Solicitations”) from holders of all Notes to (1) allow certain entities related to Sprint’s existing spectrum securitization notes program (the “Existing Sprint Spectrum Program”) to be non-guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) and make certain other changes in connection therewith, provided that the principal amount of the spectrum notes issued and outstanding under the Existing Sprint Spectrum Program does not exceed $7.0 billion, and provided that the principal amount of such spectrum notes shall reduce the amount available under the Credit Facilities ratio basket, and (2) revise the definition of GAAP to mean generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time, unless the Company elects to “freeze” GAAP as of any date, and to exclude the effect of changes in the accounting treatment of capital lease obligations (the amendments described in clauses (1) and (2), collectively, the “Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP

 



 

Proposed Amendments”, and together with the Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments, the “Proposed Amendments”).

 

In conjunction with receiving the requisite consents, on May 20, 2018, the Company, the guarantors and the Trustee executed and delivered the thirty-seventh supplemental indenture to the Indenture, pursuant to which, with respect to each applicable series of Notes, the applicable Proposed Amendments will become operative immediately prior to the consummation of the T-Mobile/Sprint Transaction. Except for the Proposed Amendments, all of the existing terms of the Notes and the Indenture will remain unchanged.

 

We will pay the applicable upfront payments reflected in the tables below (each an “Upfront Consent Payment” and, collectively, the “Upfront Consent Payments”) for each Series of Notes for the benefit of the applicable holders of such Series of Notes whose consents were validly delivered (and not revoked) prior to the expiration of the Consent Solicitations, on a pro rata basis for such Series of Notes. Payment will be made promptly after the date hereof, and is expected to be made on May 22, 2018.
