Proposal 12 - The Adjournment Proposal: Because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the proposals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction, which made continuation, adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting unnecessary, votes were not tabulated for the proposal to approve the continuation, adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting.
The Business Combination Agreement provides that the requisite MetroPCS stockholder approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal (Proposal 1) and each proposal related to the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Proposals 2 through 10) is a condition to closing the Transaction. MetroPCS will not adopt the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (or any of the Proposals 2 through 10 related thereto) and will not effectuate the stock issuance of MetroPCS common stock to Deutsche Telekom as contemplated by the Stock Issuance Proposal (Proposal 1) until, and only if, the Transaction is completed.
