Clearwire Board Says 'Yes' to Sprint's Revised Bid

May 23, 2013 |
BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ: CLWR) (“Clearwire” or the “Company”) today announced that its Special Committee of the Board of Directors and its Board of Directors have each approved the revised offer from Sprint (NYSE:S) to acquire the approximately 50 percent stake in the Company it does not currently own for $3.40 per share.

The Special Committee of the Board of Directors determined that the revised offer, when compared with other potential transactions reasonably available to the Company at this time, is the most favorable potential transaction to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders and that the terms of the revised offer are advisable, fair to and in the best interest of such stockholders. The Clearwire Board recommends that stockholders vote their shares FOR all of the proposals relating to the transaction with Sprint by returning the WHITE proxy card with a "FOR" vote for all proposals.
