Commitment Agreement and Related Agreements
On November 30, 2011, the Sprint Entities, Clearwire and Clearwire Communications (together with Clearwire, the Clearwire Parties) entered into a Commitment Agreement (the Commitment Agreement). Among other things, the Commitment Agreement provides that, in connection with an offering by the Clearwire Parties of New Securities (as defined in the Equityholders Agreement) with gross proceeds of at least $400,000,000 (inclusive of the amounts invested by Sprint HoldCo as described below) (the Equity Offering) by the Clearwire Parties:
| with respect to up to $700,000,000 of the gross proceeds of such Equity Offering (inclusive of the amounts invested by Sprint HoldCo), Sprint HoldCo would fully exercise its preemptive rights under Section 3.5 of the Equityholders Agreement; and |
| with respect to any amount of gross proceeds of such Equity Offering in excess of $700,000,000 (inclusive of the amounts invested by Sprint HoldCo), Sprint HoldCo may (but would not be obligated to) exercise all or any part of its preemptive rights under Section 3.5 of the Equityholders Agreement. |
CUSIP No. 18538Q 105 | 13D | Page 24 of 44 Pages |
The terms of the Commitment Agreement provide that Sprint HoldCo would receive at least the same rights received by any other participant in the Equity Offering (but it would only be entitled to a commitment fee if the Clearwire Parties pay a commitment fee to all other participants in such Equity Offering). In connection with the Equity Offering, the Sprint Entities agreed to:
| execute a written consent to an amendment to Clearwires charter increasing the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (the Charter Amendment); |
| vote, at any meeting of stockholders and to the extent required by the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market, in favor of any payments by Clearwire of any customary fees required to be paid to an unaffiliated third party in respect of a backstop commitment by such third party to purchase securities in such Equity Offering; and |
| if requested by any managing underwriter or backstop purchaser of such Equity Offering, execute a customary lock-up agreement on the date of consummation of the Equity Offering with respect to the transfer by the Sprint Entities of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, which lock-up agreement would provide for a lock-up period not to exceed ninety days. |
In addition, pursuant to the Commitment Agreement, Clearwire has agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to do the following:
| to consummate at the earliest practicable time after the Equity Offering an offering of first lien senior secured debt for an aggregate principal amount equal to the maximum amount of first lien senior secured indebtedness that Clearwire Communications is permitted to incur or issue in compliance with its outstanding debt agreements; |
| subject to certain exceptions relating to the fiduciary duties of the members of the board of directors of Clearwire, effect sales of spectrum, other assets and/or equity of the Clearwire Parties, or take such other actions, as may be necessary from time to time to permit the Clearwire Parties to meet their obligations as they become due and to maintain a reasonable level of liquidity in light of their accrued and committed obligations; and |
| to obtain and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Sprint Entities settlement and release agreements in the form attached to the Commitment Agreement from each of the Equityholders (other than Sprint HoldCo). |
Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated November 30, 2011, entered into with the Clearwire Parties (the Letter Agreement), the Sprint Entities also agreed that upon the exercise of preemptive rights by Sprint HoldCo under Section 3.5 of the Equityholders Agreement, as contemplated by the Commitment Agreement, Sprint HoldCo would purchase only shares of Class B Common Stock and a corresponding number of Clearwire Communications Class B Common Interests and will not take any action, or exercise any right, to cause such shares to be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, unless and until the Charter Amendment becomes effective. The Clearwire Parties have agreed to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Charter Amendment to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable.
Concurrently with the Commitment Agreement, Sprint Spectrum L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint (Sprint Spectrum), and Clearwire Communications entered into an amendment (the MVNO Agreement Amendment) to the 4G MVNO Agreement, dated November 28, 2008, by and among Clearwire Communications, Comcast MVNO II, LLC, TWC Wireless, LLC, BHN Spectrum Investments, LLC and Sprint Spectrum L.P. d/b/a Sprint, as amended, and related agreements (the MVNO Agreement). The Commitment Agreement and the MVNO Agreement Amendment provide that, on January 3, 2012, Sprint Spectrum will loan $150,000,000 of unsecured indebtedness to Clearwire Communications pursuant to a promissory note in the form attached to the Commitment Agreement (the Note). The principal amount of the Note will accrue interest at a rate of 11.50% per annum and will mature as follows: (i) $75 million of the principal amount will be due and payable on January 2, 2013; and (ii) the remaining $75 million of the principal amount will be due and payable on January 2, 2014. If and to the extent any portion of the loan or any interest thereon or other amounts payable under the Note remain due and owing by Clearwire Communications on either January 2, 2013 or January 2, 2014, and any payments are then required to be paid by Sprint Spectrum to Clearwire Communications pursuant to the MVNO Agreement (any such payments, the Sprint Payments), then Sprint Spectrum, at its sole option, may retain, offset and recoup any such Sprint Payments against such payments then due from Clearwire Communications under the Note. The Note has customary events of default and acceleration provisions as well as events of default and acceleration relating to a material breach under, or termination of, the MVNO Agreement.

Public Offering and the 2011 Investment Agreement
On December 7, 2011, Clearwire announced that it (i) was offering $350.0 million of its Class A Common Stock in a registered public offering (the Public Offering) at a price of $2.00 per share to the public and (ii) in connection with the Public Offering, it granted the underwriters of the Public Offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $45.0 million of its Class A Common Stock (the Overallotment Option). Clearwire subsequently announced that the underwriters of the Public Offering exercised the Overallotment Option in full. The Public Offering constituted an Equity Offering within the meaning of the Commitment Agreement. Consequently, pursuant to a letter dated December 12, 2011 (the Sprint Preemptive Rights Exercise Letter) and in accordance with the Commitment Agreement, Sprint HoldCo exercised its preemptive rights under Section 3.5 of the Equityholders Agreement to purchase its preemptive rights pro rata share (approximately 49.6%) of the Class A Common Stock issued in the Public Offering representing gross proceeds of $700 million (inclusive of the amount to be invested by Sprint HoldCo). On December 13, 2011, Sprint HoldCo purchased (the Purchase) 173,635,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and a corresponding number of Clearwire Communications Class B Common Interests, for an aggregate purchase price of $331,399,761. In accordance with the Commitment Agreement, the Purchase was made pursuant to an investment agreement, dated December 13, 2011, by and among Sprint HoldCo, Clearwire and Clearwire Communications (the 2011 Investment Agreement). The 2011 Investment Agreement contains representations and warranties of Clearwire and Clearwire Communications that are substantially similar to those provided to the underwriters of the Public Offering in an underwriting agreement. As a result of the Purchase, Sprint HoldCo has fully satisfied its commitment to purchase securities in the Equity Offering under the Commitment Agreement.
In addition, Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by replacing the second section of Item 4 in its entirety with the following:
The foregoing summaries of certain provisions of the Transaction Agreement, Investment Agreement, Stockholders Consent, Commitment Agreement, Letter Agreement, Note, Sprint Preemptive Rights Exercise Letter and 2011 Investment Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents.
