Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Information in these materials includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws. The statements in these materials regarding agreements between Sprint Nextel Corporation (“Sprint”) and Clearwire Corporation (“Clearwire”) and the investors and the benefits to Sprint and Clearwire of the arrangements contemplated by the agreements; plans for the development and deployment of a broadband network based on WiMAX technology; the timing, availability, capabilities, coverage, and costs of the WiMAX network; products and services to be offered on the WiMAX network; and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The words “will,” “would,” “may,” “should,” "estimate," "project," ”forecast,” "intend," “plan,” "expect," "believe," "target," “designed” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections reflecting management's judgment and assumptions based on currently available information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond Clearwire’s control and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.

Future performance cannot be assured. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

• the ability of Sprint and Clearwire to complete the merger and other transactions contemplated by the definitive agreements and satisfy the conditions thereunder, including obtaining Clearwire stockholder, FCC and Department of Justice approvals;
• the uncertainties related to the implementation of each company’s respective WiMAX business strategies;
• the costs and business risks associated with deploying a WiMAX network and offering products and services utilizing WiMAX technology;
• the ability of third party suppliers, software developers and other vendors to perform requirements and satisfy obligations necessary to create products and software designed to support WiMAX features and functionality, under agreements with one or both of Sprint and Clearwire;
• the impact of adverse network performance;
• rapid changes in technology and industry standards;
• industry competition;
• protection of proprietary rights; and
• other risks referenced from time to time in each company’s respective filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the Forms 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Sprint and Clearwire believe the forward-looking statements in these materials are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of this release. Forward-looking statements that are believed to be true when made may ultimately prove to be incorrect.  Sprint and Clearwire are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of these materials.
