Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )On March 17, 2014, Galaxy Investment Holdings, Inc. ("Galaxy"), a U.S. wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank Corp. ("Parent"), granted to Ronald D. Fisher an award of restricted stock units (the "RSU Award") for 2,846,508 shares (the "Shares") of Sprint Corporation ("Sprint") Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Sprint Common Stock") owned by Galaxy. Galaxy granted the RSU Award to Mr. Fisher in connection with Mr. Fisher's positions with Galaxy and SoftBank Holdings Inc. ("Holdings") and in consideration of the services that Mr. Fisher provides to the U.S. wholly owned subsidiaries of Parent, including but not limited to Galaxy, Holdings, and SoftBank Inc., and as an incentive to continue such services. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right for Mr. Fisher to receive one Share, or, in the sole discretion of Galaxy, a cash payment in lieu of all or a portion thereof. (Continued in Footnote 2)
( 2 )Subject to the provisions of the agreement for the RSU Award, the restricted stock units will vest in four equal installments on each November 15 of 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Mr. Fisher is not required to pay consideration to obtain the Shares (or cash, as applicable) upon vesting.
( 3 )Such figure reflects 71,713,133 shares of Sprint Common Stock (the "Galaxy Shares") that are owned indirectly by Parent through Galaxy and 3,076,525,523 shares of Sprint Common Stock (the "Starburst I Shares") that are owned indirectly by Parent through Starburst I, Inc. ("Starburst I"), which is a U.S. wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. As a result of such ownership, Parent may be deemed to beneficially own the Galaxy Shares and the Starburst I Shares. Starburst I expressly disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to the Galaxy Shares and Galaxy expressly disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to the Starburst I Shares.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
