Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

Outside directors are required to hold equity or equity interests in our common stock with a value of at least two times the annual board retainer amount (or $140,000). Each outside director is required to meet this ownership level by the later of August 12, 2007 or the second anniversary of the director’s initial election or appointment to the Board.

Minimum Holding Period

Active Outside Directors are required to retain for a period of at least 12 months all shares or share equivalents (e.g., options or restricted stock units) received from Sprint Nextel, except for shares (i) sold for the payment of taxes as a result of shares becoming available to the non-employee director, or (ii) delivered to Sprint Nextel to pay for the acquisition of additional shares through the exercise of a stock option or otherwise. The 12-month period begins on the date any restrictions or vesting periods have lapsed on the shares or share equivalents (including stock options). The Outside Directors are subject to this holding period until they leave the Sprint Nextel Board.
