The CEO of SoftBank (SFTBF) Masayoshi Son criticized the concept of Dish Network's (DISH) offer to buy Sprint Nextel (S), saying the satellite company would be a poor fit for a wireless carrier, while the synergies of a SoftBank-Sprint deal will result in significant cost savings. Reference Link |

| 17:16 EDT | | S | Crest Financial takes first step to perfect appraisal rights of Clearwire shares
Crest Financial Limited, the largest of the independent, minority stockholders of Clearwire (CLWR), has told its brokerage firms to take all necessary steps to perfect Crest's rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to seek appraisal for the common stock of Clearwire that it beneficially owns. The Delaware law permits Clearwire shareholders electing to exercise their appraisal rights to ask the Delaware Court of Chancery to determine the fair value of their Clearwire common stock if the Sprint (S)-Clearwire merger is consummated and certain other conditions are satisfied. The law states that a Clearwire stockholder that votes FOR the Sprint-Clearwire merger cannot elect to exercise its appraisal rights. Crest has long argued that the price Sprint Nextel is offering to pay Clearwire stockholders for their shares is highly inadequate, that the merger was structured in a way that unfairly disadvantages minority stockholders and that Clearwire would be better off if it remained a stand-alone company. Crest also commended Glass, Lewis & Co., a leading proxy advisory firm, for its recommendation urging that Clearwire stockholders vote against the proposed merger with Sprint. Crest said is strongly disagreed with the view of ISS that the Sprint-Clearwire merger should succeed. |
