Sprint is just making it clear that the purchase proposal from DISH is unactionable without Sprint's approval. All these ridiculous terms DISH put in the offer require changes to governance that will

Barring some sort of Dish Lawsuit, this appears to be the end of the line now. With Mount Kellett on board with the others and also agreeing to sell their shares privately to Sprint no matter what happens, this pretty much cements the marriage of Sprint and Clearwire.

My congrats go out to all you Clearwire stock holders...I'm very happy (and envious) for you; you held on thru some really dark times..enjoy your reward and buy all the rest of us cowards (who should  have bought shares) a drink or two!  This is a great day for Sprint and the beginning of the end of the evil duopoly

It is over.

 

9% plus 64 % almost guarantees Sprint wins. If Sprint's deal fails they would have over 75% votes to push a new deal.

 

And with the expedited shareholder meeting and all the other changes, even if this transaction fails, it would be over quickly.

Dish is going to make some good money on this actually.  They bought a bunch of Clearwire stock and Sprint is going to have to pay off the debt.

 

That's what caused the share price to increase though. I guess we'll see. If Sprint takes 100% ownership of the company in terms of shares, wouldn't it be delisted?

$10k is not rich. But every little bit toward retirement is appreciated.

Wow!!! This news about Sprint and Clearwire on my birthday today!!!  Thank you Sprint for making my birthday wish come true.  I wish Clearwire didn't postpone the vote from June 24th to July 8th but I understand they need to give shareholders time to think about it even though there is a very good chance this merger will go through.

Dang tiny keyboard on this Nexus. It's more than that. That's a typo. But either way, @ $1.61 per share purchase I did well.

Maybe, maybe not. It wouldn't surprise me to see Charlie try something outlandish. 

 

I wish he'd just go play with T-Mo and leave Sprint/Clearwire alone. See how quickly the Clearwire special board endorsed Sprint's new offer? Why keep messing with two entities that obviously want no part of him? The funny part is that Deutsche Telekom would be a willing seller.

If someone has already posted the new Clearwire vote date I missed it.

 

" The Company plans to reconvene the Special Meeting of Stockholders on Monday, July 8, 2013 at 10:30 AM Pacific"

 

I guess Charlie has till then.

I believe it is around 72.25( 50.2 from Sprint + 45% of 49 from minority), but that is only currently. If Dish kills Sprint's bid, then Sprint will get 115 million and be able to buy shares off the open market since the standstill agreement will be waved plus the dilution from the convertible bonds. Also Mount Kellett Group has pledged their shares to sprint no matter the outcome of the vote. 

 
I would not be surprised if they have over 75%, if the current deal fails. It is almost just a formality at this point.

Where did you get 73% from

 

 

51% from Sprint, 13% from the strategic investors and 9% from the hedge funds.
I think I read somewhere this afternoon that Clearwire executives pledged their stock to Sprint also. I don't know what percentage that is.

 

Also, there are also a lot of us minority shareholders not being counted as being with Sprint and they just don't know how we'll vote on July 8th. But there have to be enough of us to push it over the edge now.

 

I wouldn't even be surprised if a few more large minority shareholders jumped ship now over to Sprint. To go with Dish is no guarantee of getting the deal because of litigation. Sprint is a sure deal, and is a much more reasonable price than previous offers.

      Anyone else here use Verizon FiOS?

      By Trip · Posted

      (Sorry I never answered your last e-mail.  It's going to be time-consuming, so I've been dragging my feet.) I'm on FiOS and my service has been okay.  A few weeks ago, I was having an odd issue where certain websites were very slow to load, and it persisted until I rebooted the router.  Not entirely sure what was going on there.  But otherwise, no issues.  What happens if you ping or traceroute during these outages? - Trip

      After seeing gr8nuguy's S23 post for one, checked and found a 72MB Google Play System security update on S24+ unlocked.    Still a June 1st date however.

      If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
