- Thursday, May 23, 10:28 PM DISH moves closer to getting financing for its $25.5B bid for Sprint (S), receiving signed commitment letters from 5 banks for $9B, reports the WSJ. Dish hasn't yet paid commitment fees as Charlie Ergen is waiting for Sprint's board to declare Dish's offer potentially superior to SoftBank's (SFTBF.PK) $20.1B bid. Earlier, Dish responded to SoftBank's touting of the benefits of it gaining control of Sprint. 4 Comments [M&A]
- Wednesday, May 22, 9:28 AM Clearwire (CLWR) says it board of directors recommends shareholders approve the Sprint (S) offer to buy the company for $3.40 per share. A voting date is set for May 31. 6 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, May 21, 3:52 PM Clearwire (CLWR +4%) reschedules its special shareholder meeting to May 31, so as to give investors time to weigh Sprint's (S) new $3.40/share offer. Crest Financial says it still isn't satisfied, arguing Clearwire's spectrum deserves a higher price tag. Shares are currently at $3.39, a penny below the offer price. 3 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, May 21, 9:09 AM Sprint (S) raises its offer for Clearwire (CLWR) to $3.40/share ahead of today's shareholder vote on a $2.97/share offer, which was widely expected to be shot down. The revised offer, which trumps Dish's (DISH) $3.30/share bid and has been sent to Clearwire's board for review, is said to have the support of Comcast, Intel, and Bright House, who collectively own 26% of Clearwire shares not held by Sprint. Nonetheless, Clearwire +6.1% to $3.46, above the offer price. Sprint +1.1%. (previous) 6 Comments [Tech, On the Move, M&A, Breaking News, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, May 21, 9:02 AM Shares of Clearwire (CLWR) are halted with news pending. Sources are saying a higher offer from Sprint (S) is in the works. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A]
- Monday, May 20, 4:11 PM Dish (DISH -0.7%) has made a $2B bid for bankrupt Lightsquared's spectrum even though the FCC hasn't yet approved its use due to GPS interference concerns, Bloomberg reports. The report comes with Sprint (S) and Clearwire (CLWR) continuing to play hard-to-get in the wake of Dish's offers for the companies, and a day before Clearwire shareholders vote on a Sprint offer many think will get shot down, at least if it isn't raised from a current $2.97/share. Comment! [Tech, Consumer, M&A]
- Friday, May 17, 1:38 PM "There's no way" Sprint's (S) attempt to buy Clearwire (CLWR +0.6%) succeeds without a higher bid, says Taran Asset Management's Chris Gleason, one of many institutional Clearwire investors planning to vote against Sprint's $2.97/share offer at Tuesday's meeting. Reuters has uncovered investors holding 31% of Clearwire's public (non-Sprint-owned) shares who oppose the current deal; Sprint needs a majority of public shares to be voted in favor. Clearwire is trading 10% above Sprint's offer price, and 1% below Dish's $3.30/share offer price. (previous) 23 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Monday, May 13, 5:49 PM Clearwire (CLWR -3.1%) slid further towards Sprint's (S) $2.97/share offer price after Egan-Jones joined fellow shareholder advisory firm ISS (previous) in backing Sprint's bid ahead of a May 21 vote. Nonetheless, given the number of shares owned by dissident investors, many still think a higher bid will be needed. 4 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Friday, May 10, 9:59 AM Top shareholder advisory firm ISS backs Sprint's (S -0.1%) $2.97/share offer for Clearwire (CLWR -0.9%) ahead of a May 21 vote, in spite of opposition from major shareholders not named Sprint. ISS' arguments: Sprint's offer is fair, the carrier has effective veto power on any rival bid, and Clearwire looks "increasingly unviable on a stand-alone basis." SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) must be pleased, Dish (DISH) less so. Clearwire has sold off over the last 2 days, but still remains 9% above Sprint's offer price. (previous) Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Thursday, May 9, 1:32 PM Dish (DISH -1.4%) owned $592M in "derivative financial instruments" tied to Sprint's (S) stock as of May 1, as well as Sprint shares worth $75M as of March 31, the company discloses in a 10-Q filed after its Q1 report. Dish also owned $950M in Clearwire (CLWR) debt at the end of Q1, nearly unchanged from $951M at the end of Q4. Consider the Sprint purchases an attempt to gain a bit of leverage as Dish pursues its bids for Sprint and Clearwire. Also: During Dish's Q1 call, Charlie Ergen stated Dish would consider partnering with another carrier if Sprint sticks with SoftBank (no surprise), and that a sale of the company wouldn't be out of the question. (previous) 7 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, May 7, 6:10 PM Sprint (S) doesn't seem enthusiastic about Dish's (DISH) merger bid: Bloomberg reports the carrier is holding off on giving Dish access to its books due to questions about Dish's ability to obtain needed financing, skepticism about Dish's $11B cost savings estimate (Sprint thinks staff overlap is limited), and concerns about the debt burden the combined company would have. Moreover, Sprint's board has reportedly sent a letter to Dish stating its bid needs to be changed before Sprint can weigh it against SoftBank's (SFTBF.PK). (more on Sprint/Dish) 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer, M&A]
- Monday, May 6, 12:39 PM Even as shareholder opposition makes it increasingly unlikely Sprint's (S +0.1%) $2.97/share offer for Clearwire will succeed, Clearwire (CLWR -0.1%) insists in a shareholder letter the offer "provides the best strategic alternative" for the 4G carrier/spectrum owner's minority shareholders. Clearwire cites a "substantial funding gap" among its reasons for backing Sprint's bid, and claims other deals, such as Dish's (DISH) $3.30/share offer, are impractical due to Sprint's opposition and Clearwire's governance structure. Shareholders vote on May 21. 3 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Friday, May 3, 4:36 PM Mount Kellett Capital, which has long been vocal about its displeasure with Sprint's (S +0.7%) $2.97/share deal to acquire Clearwire (CLWR +2.9%), says it has joined forces with 3 other major shareholders - Highside Capital, Glenview Capital, and Chesapeake Partners - to create a united front against Sprint's offer. Together, the shareholders own 18.2% of Clearwire's publicly-traded stock. With shares closing today at $3.37 and Dish's $3.30/share bid still on the table, investors are clearly betting on a higher deal price. (13D) (Crest Financial) 4 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Thursday, May 2, 2:05 PM Dish (DISH +0.1%) CEO Charlie Ergen responds in kind to SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) chief Masayoshi Son's caustic remarks, insisting Dish's bid for Sprint (S +0.4%) is superior and appealing to nationalism along the way. "We're offering a higher price ... We are an American company ... Operations command control will be in America. That's good for jobs." Ergen also argues SoftBank's Japanese corporate culture will lead to integration challenges. "If you have to lead tens of thousands of employees, culture matters." Of course, Son and SoftBank are often seen as mavericks in Japan. (more on Ergen) 6 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, April 30, 9:51 AM SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) CEO Masayoshi Son continues to insist his firm won't raise its offer for Sprint (S +0.3%) in response to Dish's (DISH) bid. "Why should we? We are already providing a better deal than the Dish proposal." Son goes on to call Dish CEO Charlie Ergen an "amateur" who is "desperate" to find a use for Dish's 4G spectrum. He adds SoftBank's offer is worth $7.65/share to Sprint, and Dish's $6.31/share, after factoring synergies, delays, and penalties; Dish values its proposal at $7, and SoftBank's at $6.22. (previous) (more on Dish/Sprint) 9 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Monday, April 29, 4:04 PM Clearwire (CLWR +0.3%) will take another $80M monthly financing installment from Sprint (S +0.1%) as both companies now weight buyout offers from Dish (DISH +1.5%). Clearwire's move comes as Guugenheim downgrades Sprint to Hold on a belief Clearwire shareholders will shoot down Sprint's $2.97/share buyout offer (shares closed at $3.44), which is set for a May 21 vote. Guggenheim thinks SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) might stop Sprint from making a higher bid, since a successful deal could make Sprint more attractive to Dish (the firm deems Clearwire "Dish's real target").
