Introductory Note

On November 24, 2009, Virgin Mobile USA, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Sprint Mozart, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint Nextel Corporation (“Sprint Nextel”), whereby Merger Sub merged with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger, and as a result of which the Company has been acquired by, and has become a wholly owned subsidiary of, Sprint Nextel. The Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 27, 2009, among the Company, Sprint Nextel and Merger Sub. The following events took place in connection with the consummation of the Merger:

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company has terminated its Senior Credit Agreement, dated July 19, 2006, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, among Virgin Mobile USA, L.P., the lenders thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and other agents named therein (the “Senior Credit Agreement”) and its Subordinated Credit Agreement, dated July 19, 2006, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, among Virgin Mobile USA, L.P., Virgin Entertainment Holdings, Inc. and SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (the “Subordinated Credit Agreement”). Each of the Senior Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Credit Agreement were terminated at the effective time of the Merger and payments of the amounts previously outstanding thereunder were made in full in cash.

On November 24, 2009, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of the effectiveness of the Merger, pursuant to which each share of the Company’s Class A common stock was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Series 1 common stock of Sprint Nextel (“Sprint Nextel common stock”), and cash in lieu of fractional shares, based on an exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement and as more fully described in Item 3.03, which information is incorporated by reference. The Company requested that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 to report that the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are no longer listed on the NYSE.

On November 24, 2009, the Merger Agreement was adopted by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders. Immediately thereafter, the Merger was consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement:

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2009 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Upon the effective time of the Merger, holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, Class B common stock, Class C common stock and preferred stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger ceased to have any rights as stockholders in the Company (other than their right to receive the merger consideration).

As a result of the Merger, a change of control of the Company occurred and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprint Nextel. The disclosure under Item 3.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Merger, all of the current directors of the Company resigned from their directorships of the Company and any committees of which they were a member, as of the effective time of the Merger. These resignations were not a result of any disagreements between the Company and the current directors on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Upon completion of the Merger, the directors of Merger Sub became the directors of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and the Company’s bylaws were amended and restated in their entirety. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company are attached as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

On November 24, 2009, the Company and Sprint Nextel issued a joint press release announcing the consummation of the Merger. A copy of the press release is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
