Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Fina
If Wireless experiences specific kinds of changes in control as set forth in
the Indenture, each holder of Notes may require Wireless to repurchase all or a
portion of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the
Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on
the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase.
The Indenture contains covenants that restrict the ability of Wireless and
its subsidiaries who are Guarantors to, among other things, incur debt, pay
dividends and make distributions, make certain investments, repurchase stock,
create liens without also securing the Notes, enter into transactions with
affiliates, enter into agreements that restrict dividends or distributions from
subsidiaries, and merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of,
substantially all of its assets. These limitations are subject to a number of
important qualifications and exceptions. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in
the Indenture), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may declare all the Notes to be
due and payable immediately. In the case of certain Events of Default, all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action
or notice.
Registration Rights Agreement
On January 20, 2009, Wireless and the Guarantors also entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement ("Registration Rights Agreement") with the Initial
Purchasers in connection with the consummation of the sale of the Notes.
Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Wireless agrees to file
a registration statement on or before the 270th day after the Notes' issue date
covering the Notes. Wireless also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts
to have such Registration Statement declared effective on or prior to the 300th
day after the Notes' issue date. Alternatively, if Wireless is unable to
consummate the Exchange Offer (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
or if holders of the Notes cannot participate in the Exchange Offer for certain
specified reasons, then Wireless and the Guarantors will use commercially
reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement within the times
specified in the Registration Rights Agreement to facilitate resale of the
Notes. All registration expenses will be paid by Wireless and the Guarantors.
Should Wireless fail to file the registration statement, have such
registration statement declared effective, consummate the Exchange Offer or, in
the alternative, have the shelf registration statement declared effective,
Wireless will be required to pay certain Liquidated Damages as provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement.
Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Wireless and the
Guarantors have agreed to indemnify certain holders of the Notes against certain
liabilities.
This description of the Purchase Agreement, Indenture, and Registration
Rights Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full
and complete terms of each of the Purchase Agreement, Indenture, and
Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are attached as exhibits hereto,
and incorporated herein by reference.
The disclosure under Item 1.01 of this report is also responsive to Item 2.03
of this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 20, 2009, Wireless consummated the sale of the Notes to the
Initial Purchasers at a price equal to 89.50% of the principal amount of such
Notes (less discounts and fees payable to the Initial Purchasers), pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement. The sale resulted in net proceeds of approximately
$480.5 million, which Wireless intends to use for general corporate purposes,
which could include working capital, capital expenditures, future liquidity
needs, additional opportunistic spectrum acquisitions, corporate development
opportunities and future technology initiatives.
The Notes were offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers in
reliance on Rule 144A and in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes
have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject
to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities
laws.
