Situation Update
Section 1
-
CONFIDENTIAL -


Collie has been engaged with Shepherd since early-October regarding a potential merger
Discussions appear to have been catalyzed by St. Bernard, which on October 15 announced its
agreement to acquire 70% of Shepherd for more than $20 billion
On December 11, CNBC reported on the discussions
Collie stock closed up almost 12%; Shepherd closed down 1.6%
Shepherd is expected to file a 13D on December 13
Since our engagement by the Special Committee on November 21, Centerview has been actively involved
in evaluating Shepherd’s proposal(s), including relative to other strategic and financial alternatives available
Negotiations with Shepherd have focused on three inter-related topics:
Financial and contractual aspects of the transaction
Interim financing to be provided by Shepherd
Potential for Collie to accelerate previously-agreed network buildout schedule (and associated financing
implications)
(1)
As discussed with both the Special Committee and full Board, we have focused on the ability of each of
Collie’s potential alternatives to address key Collie issues:
Need for additional substantial wholesale customer(s)
Issues associated with Collie’s ownership / governance structure
Lack of liquidity to fund current business plan
Situation Update
(1)
No longer an element of the transaction. To be discussed among principals post-announcement.

Analysis
Illustrative intrinsic value based on projected future FCF
Based on two Management cases, one which assumes
additional wholesale customer(s) and another which
assumes Shepherd remains the only customer
DCF less significant to overall analysis given (i) Management’s
view of continuing challenge in attracting additional wholesale
customer(s) and (ii) requirement of significant additional funding,
which may not be available
See page 20-22

Price/MHz-pop for AT&T acquisition of Nextwave spectrum includes C/D blocks not immediately usable due to requirement for
“guard bands.”
Excluding guard bands yields implied price of $0.37/MHz-pop.

Management has provided Centerview with two sets of financial projections, differing primarily with
respect to the Company’s assumed wholesale customer base:
Multi-Customer Case (“MCC”)
assumes substantial non-Shepherd LTE network traffic beginning in 2014
(~70% of total revenue by 2015)
Single-Customer Case (“SCC”)
assumes Shepherd remains Collie’s only wholesale customer
Both cases assume ongoing LTE upgrades and retail strategy consistent with announced plans
We have also reviewed a “Modified SCC,”
prepared by Collie management, which reflects a slightly-faster
network buildout; results are immaterially different from SCC
In evaluating the feasibility and value of these plans, we note the following:
Despite a concerted effort over the past several years, Collie has yet to attract another meaningful
wholesale customer other than Shepherd
Given an estimated nine-month lead time to put traffic on-net, the MCC implies one or more very
significant new-customer win(s) in the immediate future
Both the MCC and the SCC contemplate substantial funding gaps (~$2bn and ~$4bn, respectively) to
reach free cash flow positive
Potential sources of funds include capital markets solutions and/or spectrum sales, but uncertainty
around the timing and amount of available funding impacts the feasibility of these plans
Management Plan Overview
Centerview Observations

Collie management.

Analysis does not reflect proceeds from divestiture of excess spectrum; indicative Dalmatian proposal implies additional value of
~$1.40 per share.

SIGs’

Net proceeds help address

Likely permits refinancing at

Dalmatian's intended use of

Shepherd’s reaction/response
Addresses capital structure issues
Potential ability to address key
governance issues, uneconomic

Highly-uncertain outcome
Equity recovery uncertain
Sale or liquidation of spectrum
may be required
Shepherd and Dalmatian have
ability to influence process

Solution to Key Collie Issues?

Financing Considerations
Source:
Collie management and SEC filings.
(1)
Assumes refinancing of Senior Secured Notes at 8.5% annual interest rate.
(2)
Discount relative to unaffected price of $2.40.
Lenders have indicated potential ability to refinance    
a portion of $3.2bn Senior Secured Notes
Issuance upsized to include 6% call premium
8.00% -
9.00% coupon on new debt versus 12.00%-
14.75% current coupon
Potential annual interest savings of $22 million
for each $1 billion refinanced
No upfront cash to Collie’s balance sheet;
interest savings would not satisfy funding gap
Investors will demand call protection on new
debt, limiting Shepherd’s ability to refinance
post-merger
Market perception of likelihood of strategic
transaction may impact pricing / terms
Most-aggressive proposal indicated ability to
refinance $500mm Second Priority Notes
Market appetite for new issue likely limited and
expensive
No upfront cash to Collie’s balance sheet;
interest savings would not satisfy funding gap
Coupon not specified
Mt. Kellett provided term sheet in Spring 2012 for
structured equity investment; however, proposal       
was not fully committed
Execution may be challenged by uncertainty       
around committed equity offering
Company only has 360mm available authorized
shares (increase would require shareholder vote)

Chapter 11 Considerations
Description
Pre-Arranged Chapter 11 Filing
Non Pre-Arranged Chapter 11 Filing
Restructuring plan agreed with key creditors prior
to filing
Court process used to confirm plan
Company files without a pre-negotiated exit plan
Benefits
Court process provides protection to Company
and stakeholders
Enhances negotiating leverage with key
constituencies
Reduces uncertainty and time to resolution
Addresses liquidity needs
Minimizes liquidation risk
Available option if pre-arranged filing is not possible
(e.g., unable to build consensus, liquidity
deteriorates, etc.)
Shepherd
Considerations
Will be a key party—at least initially—to any
negotiations
May pursue spectrum acquisition
Potential for cooperation with Dalmatian
Will seek to protect existing MVNO agreements
Potential stalking horse in asset sale(s)
May require Debtor in Possession financing to fund
liquidity needs during case
We understand that the Company is in the process of exploring—as a fall-back—various
restructuring alternatives
Dalmatian
Considerations
Capital structure positions makes Dalmatian a key
constituency
Will be focused on acquiring spectrum
Could offer to swap debt for equity and/or new
financing
Concerned about cram-up
Potential for cooperation with Shepherd
