2024 BUILT TO LEAD NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS & PROXY STATEMENT

DEAR STOCKHOLDERS, In 2023, T-Mobile showed everyone what it looks like to serve customers better than anyone else in our industry with the best network, best value and best experiences. This unique strategy led us to achieve phenomenal customer AND financial results. Again. To record our highest share of industry postpaid phone net adds since the merger — while completing the largest and most successful merger integration in wireless history — is nothing short of amazing! Our solid performance led to industry-leading growth in service revenues and cash flow, which are strong indicators of value creation for our stockholders. We continued to invest in our network by extending our 5G leadership and were recognized by independent experts Ookla and OpenSignal as the best in the country for overall network leadership. Having the broadest, deepest and most advanced 5G network in the U.S. also enabled us to expand our dependable and affordable high-speed internet service. We added 2.1 million High-Speed Internet customers in 2023, another industry best! Our massively successful Phone Freedom Un-carrier move offers customers what they want: the flexibility and freedom to upgrade their devices every two years, or as soon as every year. By focusing on earning customers’ loyalty, we posted our lowest annual postpaid phone churn rate in company history — and have the tools in place to hit the lowest churn in our industry over time. Building on this momentum, we expanded our share in strategically important market segments like Enterprise and Government, smaller markets and rural areas, and top 100 markets. And once again, J.D. Power awarded us top honors for customer service. In addition to our impressive business results, we used our network, resources and scale for good to make a meaningful impact in communities across the country. We’re proud to have connected nearly 6 million students through Project 10Million and our other education initiatives, providing $6.4 billion in products and services in the last few years. And we have provided nearly 800,000 first responders with free unlimited talk, text and smartphone data through our Connecting Heroes commitment, with plans to deepen our investment even further in the years to come. Our unique formula is setting us up for continued growth and innovation as we transform T-Mobile into a deeply data-informed, AI-enabled, digital-first company that gives customers the best possible experience. We’re entering a period of enormous value creation in what promises to be the most exciting chapter ever in the Un-carrier story, and WE WON’T STOP! Sincerely, MIKE SIEVERT President and Chief Executive Officer April 26, 2024

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Proxy Statement includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including information concerning our future results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including unexpected delays, difficulties, and expenses in executing against our environmental, climate, diversity and inclusion or other “Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)” targets, goals and commitments outlined in this document, including, but not limited to, our efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, as well as changes in laws or regulations affecting us, such as changes in cybersecurity, data privacy, environmental, safety and health laws, and other risks as disclosed in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), include, among others, the following: competition, industry consolidation and changes in the market for wireless communications services and other forms of connectivity; criminal cyberattacks, disruption, data loss or other security breaches; our inability to take advantage of technological developments on a timely basis; our inability to retain or motivate key personnel, hire qualified personnel or maintain our corporate culture; system failures and business disruptions, allowing for unauthorized use of or interference with our network and other systems; the scarcity and cost of additional wireless spectrum, and regulations relating to spectrum use; challenges in modernizing our existing applications and systems; the impacts of the actions we have taken and conditions we have agreed to in connection with the regulatory proceedings and approvals of our merger with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement with Sprint and the other parties named therein (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”) and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the acquisition by DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) of the prepaid wireless business operated under the Boost Mobile and Sprint prepaid brands (excluding the Assurance brand Lifeline customers and the prepaid wireless customers of Shenandoah Personal Communications Company LLC and Swiftel Communications, Inc.), including customer accounts, inventory, contracts, intellectual property and certain other specified assets, and the assumption of certain related liabilities (collectively, the “Prepaid Transaction”), the complaint and proposed final judgment agreed to by us, Deutsche Telekom AG (“Deutsche Telekom”), Sprint, SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) and DISH with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which was approved by the Court on April 1, 2020, as amended on October 23, 2023, the proposed commitments filed with the Secretary of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), which we announced on May 20, 2019, certain national security commitments and undertakings, and any other commitments or undertakings entered into, including, but not limited to, those we have made to certain states and nongovernmental organizations (collectively, the “Government Commitments”), and the challenges in satisfying the Government Commitments in the required time frames and the significant cumulative costs incurred in tracking and monitoring compliance over multiple years; adverse economic, political or market conditions in the U.S. and international markets, including changes resulting from increases in inflation or interest rates, supply chain disruptions and impacts of geopolitical instability, such as the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas wars and further escalations thereof; sociopolitical volatility and polarization; our inability to manage the ongoing arrangements entered into in connection with the Prepaid Transaction, and known or unknown liabilities arising in connection therewith; the timing and effects of any future acquisition, divestiture, investment, or merger involving us; any disruption or failure of our third parties (including key suppliers) to provide products or services for the operation of our business; our substantial level of indebtedness and our inability to service our debt obligations in accordance with their terms; changes in the credit market conditions, credit rating downgrades or an inability to access debt markets; the risk of future material weaknesses we may identify or any other failure by us to maintain effective internal controls, and the resulting significant costs and reputational damage; any changes in regulations or in the regulatory framework under which we operate; laws and regulations relating to the handling of privacy and data protection; unfavorable outcomes of and increased costs from existing or future regulatory or legal proceedings; difficulties in protecting our intellectual property rights or if we infringe on the intellectual property rights of others; our offering of regulated financial services products and exposure to a wide variety of state and federal regulations; new or amended tax laws or regulations or administrative interpretations and judicial decisions affecting the scope or application of tax laws or regulations; our wireless licenses, including those controlled through leasing agreements, are subject to renewal and may be revoked; our exclusive forum provision as provided in our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; interests of Deutsche Telekom, our controlling stockholder, which may differ from the interests of other stockholders; the dollar amount authorized for our stockholder return program may not be fully utilized, and our share repurchases and dividend payments pursuant thereto may fail to have the desired impact on stockholder value; and future sales of our common stock by Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank and our inability to attract additional equity financing outside the United States due to foreign ownership limitations by the FCC. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. T-Mobile does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any duty, to update any statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information, new developments, or otherwise, except to the extent that disclosure may be required by law. In addition, some of the statements contained in this Proxy Statement may rely on third-party information and projections that management believes to be reputable; however, T-Mobile does not independently verify or audit this information, and any inaccuracies or deviations in such information and projections may materially impact our ability to execute on our strategy, achieve our goals, or otherwise adversely impact our business.

This Proxy Statement contains ESG-related statements based on hypothetical scenarios and assumptions as well as estimates that are subject to a high level of uncertainty, and these statements should not necessarily be viewed as being representative of current or actual risk or performance, or forecasts of expected risk or performance. In addition, historical, current, and forward-looking environmental and social-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, and internal controls and processes that continue to evolve. For example, our disclosures based on existing standards may change due to revisions in framework requirements, availability of information, changes in our business or applicable government policies, or other factors which may be beyond our control. Forward-looking and other statements in this document may also address our corporate responsibility and sustainability progress, plans, and goals. Our inclusion of such ESG-related information herein or in other documents is not necessarily “material” under the federal securities laws for SEC reporting purposes, even if we use the word “material” or “materiality” in relation to those statements, but is informed by various ESG standards and frameworks (including standards for the measurement of underlying data), and the interests of various stakeholders. These standards continue to evolve, often quickly, including for matters outside of our control; our disclosures are inherently dependent on the methodology and data used, and there can be no guarantee that such disclosures will necessarily reflect or be consistent with the preferred practices or interpretations of particular stakeholders, either currently or in future. Website references throughout this document are provided for convenience only, and the content on the referenced websites is not incorporated by reference into this document.
