Good Corporate Governance Practices

Governance is real at T-Mobile. We became a publicly traded company in 2013 with a significant stockholder, Deutsche Telekom, following a business combination with MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (the “Metro Combination”). On April 1, 2020, we completed the merger with Sprint in anall-stock transaction (the “Sprint Combination” or the “Merger”). In connection with the Sprint Combination, on April 1, 2020, Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank entered into a Proxy, Lock-up and ROFR Agreement (the “Proxy Agreement”).

Pursuant to that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2020, by and among the Company, Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank, the Company issued 48,751,557 additional shares of T-Mobile common stock to SoftBank on December 28, 2023.

As a result of the Proxy Agreement, as of March 31, 2024, Deutsche Telekom has voting control over approximately 57.9% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock, including approximately 7.8% of shares of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock held by SoftBank.

Deutsche Telekom has the right to designate 10 of our directors. As a result, we have stockholder representation on our Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the right to designate three of our directors, all of whom are independent based on the applicable NASDAQ and SEC rules. Directors approach each Board decision with a mindset that is intellectually independent from management. In addition, our Board has structured our corporate governance program to promote the long-term interest of stockholders, strengthen the Board’s and management’s accountability and help build public trust in the Company.
