(formerly known as Sprint Nextel Corporation) (“Old Sprint”) is the guarantor of the 6.875% Notes due November 15, 2028 (the “Notes”) of Sprint Capital Corporation (“Sprint Capital”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Sprint. On July 10, 2013, Old Sprint completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Starburst III, Inc.

(“New Sprint”), as contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 15, 2012, among Old Sprint, SoftBank Corp., Starburst I, Inc., New Sprint and Merger Sub, as amended. The Merger constituted a succession for purposes of Rule 12g-3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). This Form 15 relates solely to the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act of Old Sprint, which is now a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of New Sprint, as guarantor of the Notes and Sprint Capital as issuer of the Notes and does not affect the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act of New Sprint, which is the successor registrant to Old Sprint.
