Explanation of Responses: |
1. Effective at the time of the spin-off by Sprint Nextel of its local communications business, all outstanding options to purchase Sprint Nextel common stock were adjusted by multiplying the number of shares by 1.0955 and dividing the exercise price by the same number. This number was obtained by dividing the "regular way" closing price of Sprint Nextel common stock on the NYSE on May 17, 2006 by the "ex-dividend" closing price of Sprint Nextel common stock on the NYSE on May 17, 2006. |
2. Includes 17,100 share units or deferred shares, which are subject to forfeiture until they vest. Effective at the time of the spin-off by Sprint Nextel of its local communications business, outstanding deferred shares representing Sprint Nextel stock granted under the Nextel Incentive Equity Plan were adjusted by multiplying the number of shares by 1.0955. This number was obtained by dividing the "regular way" closing price of Sprint Nextel common stock on the NYSE on May 17, 2006 by the "ex-dividend" closing price of Sprint Nextel common stock on the NYSE on May 17, 2006. |
3. Vesting of options take place over four years on a monthly basis from the date of grant. |
