Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the updated risk factor below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Our business may be adversely impacted if we are not able to successfully manage the ongoing arrangements entered into in connection with the Prepaid Transaction and known or unknown liabilities arising in connection therewith.

In connection with the closing of the Prepaid Transaction, we and DISH entered into certain arrangements, including a Master Network Services Agreement (the “MNSA”) and a License Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “DISH License Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the MNSA, DISH will receive network services from the Company for a period of seven years. As set forth in the MNSA, the Company provides DISH, among other things, (a) legacy network services for certain Boost Mobile prepaid end users on the Sprint network, (b) T-Mobile network services for certain end users that have been migrated to the T-Mobile network or provisioned on the T-Mobile network by or on behalf of DISH and (c) infrastructure mobile network operator services to assist in the access and integration of the DISH network. Pursuant to the DISH License Purchase Agreement, DISH agreed to purchase all of Sprint’s 800 MHz spectrum (approximately 13.5 MHz of nationwide spectrum) for a total of $3.6 billion. The DISH License Purchase Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms when DISH failed to purchase such spectrum on or prior to April 1, 2024, allowing the Company to retain a non-refundable extension fee of $100 million paid by DISH. T-Mobile has commenced an auction sale of all of Sprint’s 800 MHz spectrum under the terms set forth in the Final Judgment, but is not required to divest such spectrum for an amount less than $3.6 billion.

Failure to successfully manage the MNSA and the spectrum auction may result in material unanticipated problems, including diversion of management time and energy, significant expenses and liabilities. In addition, if the 800 MHz spectrum is sold at auction, there may be an increase in competition from the purchaser or purchasers of such spectrum and other third parties that such purchaser or purchasers may enter into commercial agreements with, who may be significantly larger and have greater resources and scale advantages as compared to us. Such increased competition may result in our loss of customers and other business relationships.
