- Sunday, April 28, 4:50 AM Sprint (S) has provisionally set June 12 for a shareholder vote on SoftBank's (SFTBF.PK) acquisition proposal, with the date pending the SEC's authorization of the American carrier's proxy filing. Dish (DISH) and Clearwire (CLWR) will presumably be looking on with interest. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]

- Monday, April 22, 11:05 AM Sprint (S) confirms reports its board has formed a special committee to review Dish's (DISH +2.6%) merger offer. The news seems to be giving a lift to Dish and Clearwire (CLWR +1.5%). Separately, Dish CEO Charlie Ergen tells the FT he views personalized/location-based mobile ads as a key part of his plan to remake Sprint. Meanwhile, an FT profile of Ergen notes his track record of stepping on the toes of incumbents. It also mentions how Ergen's love of poker "taught him to bluff, using other people’s emotions to his advantage" - some see the Sprint bid as a bluff aimed at reaching a partnership. (PR) (more on Dish/Sprint) 1 Comment [Tech, M&A]
- Friday, April 19, 10:55 AM SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) doesn't plan to up its bid for Sprint (S) to top Dish's (DISH +2.1%), a company exec states. Is the Japanese carrier set on keeping its current offer, or is this a hardball negotiating tactic? Either way, SoftBank seems to be betting the advantages of its bid - a lower debt load, the ability to leverage SoftBank's resources to take on AT&T/Verizon - will lead Sprint to stay loyal in spite of shareholder pressure and the superior up-front value of Dish's offer. 2 Comments [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 18, 11:16 AM Sprint (S +0.8%) has formed a special committee to review Dish's (DISH -0.1%) merger offer, David Faber reports. He adds there's plenty of speculation about the $9B+ in new debt that would need to be raised by Dish, and which would leave the combined company with $44B in debt. Also, much like Dish's offer for Clearwire, some wonder if the Sprint offer is simply a negotiating tactic to reach some other kind of deal (presumably involving Dish's 4G spectrum). (more on Sprint/Dish) 2 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, April 17, 6:54 PM Paulson & Co. and Omega Advisors have joined a growing list of Sprint (S) investors to declare Dish's (DISH) bid for the company superior to SoftBank's (SFTBF.PK), further pressuring the Japanese carrier to up its offer; Paulson owns 4.24% of Sprint, and Omega 1.86%. Meanwhile, as Sprint and T-Mobile both get ready to merge with 3rd parties, speculation is growing the #3 and #4 U.S. carriers may themselves tie the knot one day to better compete against AT&T/Verizon. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse last May: "I honestly don't believe there is a magic number of four at all." (more) 2 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, April 16, 9:41 AM SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) responds to Dish's (DISH +1.8%) bid for Sprint (S +1.1%) by insisting its offer is superior, and stating it expects the deal to close by July 1. Nonetheless, some major Sprint shareholders, such as Westchester Capital (14M shares), are declaring Dish's offer better. SoftBank fell 6.8% in Tokyo as investors fret about a higher bid, and Sprint is adding a bit to yesterday's gains with the help of a JPMorgan upgrade to Overweight: the firm argues the Dish/SoftBank offers "likely put a floor under shares in the $7 range," and considers a bidding war possible. CLWR +1.9%. (more) Comment! [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Monday, April 15, 5:00 PM If Dish (DISH -2.3%) fails to buy Sprint (S +13.8%), it will have "few other attractive options" in mobile, points out TownHall Research: it thinks Dish's mobile efforts could be delayed by a over a year if Sprint turns it down. FBR notes Sprint, Dish, and Clearwire (CLWR -3.2%) have a combined $45B in debt, and predicts a higher bid from SoftBank (SFTBF.PK), whose scale and ability to reposition Sprint remain selling points. With Charlie Ergen saying Dish wants to differentiate its offerings via integrated services rather than pricing, rivals (T, VZ, PCS) are likely hoping Dish beats out SoftBank, which many believe plans to launch a price war.

[On the Move] - Monday, April 15, 11:48 AM Sprint (S +13.3%) confirms it has received Dish Network's (DISH -5.7%) merger offer, and says it will evaluate it. Today's decline in Dish shares lowers the value of the equity portion of the offer by about $450M, resulting in a total deal value of $25.15B (an 8% premium to SoftBank's (SFTBF.PK) offer). (PR) (more on Dish/Sprint) Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Monday, April 15, 10:22 AM Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) was the company that offered $1B-$1.5B for some of Clearwire's (CLWR -2.8%) spectrum, the WSJ reports. Meanwhile, Dish (DISH -6.4%) says it hasn't formally withdrawn its $3.30/share offer for Clearwire, but would honor Sprint's (S +14.9%) $2.97/share offer. Naturally, Dish touts the potential of a Sprint merger to enable triple/quad-play bundles - a recent Consumer Reports survey drove highlighted their popularity. CEO Charlie Ergen also talks up the implications of soaring mobile data usage, and compares Dish's strategy to a Seinfeld episode where everything comes together in the last 2 minutes. 2 Comments [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Monday, April 15, 9:24 AM Sprint (S) +15.6%, Clearwire (CLWR) -2.8%, Dish Network (DISH) -1.7%, and DirecTV (DTV) -1.1%, as the Street mulls the implications of Dish's $25.5B offer for Sprint (S). Dish, which has been looking for a partner for its 4G spectrum, claims a merger will result in $13B in cost/capex synergies, and yield a company with 20% EBITDA growth. Dish would fund the $17.3B cash portion of the deal using $8.2B in existing cash + debt, and foresees debt ratings of B1/B+. Sprint shareholders would own 32% of the company. No one ever accused Charlie Ergen of thinking small. (offer letter) (Dish fact sheet) (Clearwire spectrum offer) (Dish/Clearwire) 3 Comments [Tech, M&A, On the Move, Consumer]

Comment! [On the Move] - Monday, April 15, 6:43 AM DISH Network (DISH) confirms its $25.5B bid for Sprint Nextel (S +10.9%), which it says "delivers substantial synergies and growth opportunities estimated at $37B in net present value, including an estimated $11 billion in cost savings" and delivers "superior value to Sprint shareholders, including greater ownership in a combined company that is better positioned for the future with more spectrum, products, subscribers, financial scale and new opportunities." The $17.3B cash/$8.2B stock offer represents a 13% premium to the value of the existing Softbank (SBTBF.PK, SBTBY.PK) proposal. 1 Comment [Breaking News, On the Move]
