T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMUS) (the “Company”) today announced, together with T-Mobile USA, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“T-Mobile USA”), the expiration and final results of its previously announced offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all of certain series of outstanding senior notes of Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. (formerly known as United States Cellular Corporation) (“Array”). The Exchange Offers were launched pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement announced on May 28, 2024, under which the Company agreed to purchase certain assets from Array.

Today’s final results concern the Company’s offers to exchange:

(i) Array’s 6.700% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “Old Array 2033 Notes”) for new 6.700% Senior Notes due 2033 to be issued by T-Mobile USA (the “New 2033 Notes”);

(ii) Array’s 6.250% Senior Notes due 2069 (the “Old Array 2069 Notes”) for new 6.250% Senior Notes due 2069 to be issued by T-Mobile USA (the “New 2069 Notes”);

(iii) Array’s 5.500% Senior Notes due 2070 (March) (the “Old Array March 2070 Notes”) for new 5.500% Senior Notes due March 2070 to be issued by T-Mobile USA (the “New March 2070 Notes”); and

(iv) Array’s 5.500% Senior Notes due 2070 (June) (the “Old Array June 2070 Notes” and, together with the Old Array 2033 Notes, the Old Array 2069 Notes and the Old Array March 2070 Notes, the “Old Array Notes”) for new 5.500% Senior Notes due June 2070 to be issued by T-Mobile USA (the “New June 2070 Notes” and, collectively with the New 2033 Notes, the New 2069 Notes and New March 2070 Notes, the “New T-Mobile Notes”);

in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus, as defined below. In connection with the Exchange Offers, the Company and T-Mobile USA also solicited consents to amend the applicable indentures governing each series of the Old Array Notes (the “Consent Solicitations”) to modify or eliminate certain notice requirements and restrictive covenants in the indentures governing the Old Array Notes. As previously announced on June 16, 2025, the Company and T-Mobile USA have received valid consents to the Proposed Amendments (as defined in the Prospectus) to the indentures governing the Old Array Notes from the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of each series of the Old Array Notes.
