On January 15, 2009, MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release
announcing that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, MetroPCS Wireless, Inc. (“Wireless”), has
agreed to sell $550 million aggregate principal amount of its 91/4% Senior Notes due 2014 (the
“Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be sold at 89.5% of their face
value with an effective yield of 11.82%. The offering is scheduled to close on January 20, 2009,
subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Wireless intends to use the net proceeds
from this private offering for general corporate purposes, which could include working capital,
capital expenditures, future liquidity needs, additional opportunistic spectrum acquisitions,
corporate development opportunities and future technology initiatives.
The Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and in
offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in
the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the
Securities Act or any state securities laws.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
