CUSIP No. 872590104

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 11 (this “Schedule 13D Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 2, 2020, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on June 15, 2020, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on June 25, 2020, Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on June 26, 2020, Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on July 30, 2020, Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on October 6, 2020, Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on September 7, 2020, Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on September 9, 2021, Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on September 16, 2021, Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on September 28, 2021, and Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on February 4, 2022 (as amended and supplemented, this “Schedule 13D”), is being filed on behalf of SoftBank Group Corp., a Japanese kabushiki kaisha (“SoftBank”), its wholly owned subsidiary SoftBank Group Capital Ltd, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“SBGC”), and SoftBank’s wholly owned subsidiary Delaware Project 6 L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Project 6 LLC”) (and, together with SoftBank and SBGC, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to the common stock of T-Mobile US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“T-Mobile” or the “Issuer”), par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

Other than as set forth below, all Items in the Schedule 13D are materially unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Schedule 13D Amendment which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in this Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

The information set forth in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D Amendment including without limitation information as to the rights and obligations of the Reporting Persons pursuant to the terms of the agreements, instruments and other matters described therein, is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

(a)-(b) The information contained in the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth in Item 6 is incorporated herein by reference. Project 6 LLC beneficially owns 60,924,954 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 4.88% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 7, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Commission on February 11, 2022. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Project 6 LLC are subject to the Proxy Agreement (of which 56,124,954 of such shares are subject to the Call Options). SBGC and Project 6 LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of SoftBank. As a result, SoftBank may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Project 6 LLC.

(c) The information set forth in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D Amendment is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

On March 21, 2022, Project 6 LLC entered into master confirmations in respect of variable prepaid forward sale contracts (the “Forward Contracts”) with unaffiliated Dealers (the “Dealers”) covering up to 6,865,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), with the total number Shares determined on March 29, 2022 following the Dealers’ establishment of their initial hedge positions at an amount equal to 6,865,000 Shares. Certain of the Forward Contracts (“Forward Contract 1”), covering 2,065,000 Shares, provide for cash settlement based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average trading prices of the Issuer’s common stock over the 20 trading day period beginning on May 29, 2024. The remaining Forward Contracts (“Forward Contract 2”) cover 4,800,000 Shares and provide for cash settlement based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average trading prices of the Issuer’s


CUSIP No. 872590104

 

common stock over the 20 trading day period beginning two exchange business days after May 29, 2024. Project 6 LLC has the option to elect to settle the Forward Contracts on a physical basis.

Project 6 LLC will pledge shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “Pledged Shares”) to secure its obligations under the Forward Contracts. The Pledged Shares secure a portion of Project 6 LLC’s obligations under the Term Margin Loan Agreement (which is described in further detail in Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D) and proceeds generated from the Forward Contracts will concurrently pay off a portion of Project 6 LLC’s obligations under the Term Margin Loan Agreement and allow for the release the Pledged Shares to secure Project 6 LLC’s obligations under the Forward Contracts. Any excess amounts will be distributed to Project 6 LLC.

As set forth in the 2021 Master Framework Agreement (and as further described in Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D) the Shares securing Project 6 LLC’s obligations under the Forward Contracts are subject to the proxy granted to Deutsche Telekom pursuant to the Proxy Agreement and Deutsche Telekom will continue to have the right to direct the vote of the Pledged Shares. The Pledged Shares which support Project 6 LLC’s obligations under Forward Contract 1 will continue to be subject to the terms of the remaining floating options under the SB-DT Call Option. The Pledged Shares which support Project 6 LLC’s obligations under Forward Contract 2 are not subject to the SB-DT Call Option.

The Intercreditor Agreement entered into in connection with the previous variable prepaid forward sale contracts (as described further in Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D) (the “Prior Forward Contracts”) has been amended to include the Dealers to the Forward Contracts and to make other technical amendments.

In connection with the Forward Contracts, Project 6 LLC and Deutsche Telekom entered into two contingent floating rate option agreements relating to the Forward Contracts which are substantially similar to the Forward Contract Contingent Floating Rate Options (as defined in Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D) related to the Prior Forward Contracts (as described further in Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D).

The foregoing descriptions of the master confirmations do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by the Forms of Master Confirmation which are filed as Exhibit 25 and Exhibit 26 hereto.
