The deal was conducted via the operator Sprint, which is controlled by SoftBank. It is bound by a deal signed in 2020 upon the merger of Sprint and T-Mobile. SoftBank announced on December 26 that, should the securities satisfy the conditions specified in the Sprint and T-Mobile agreement, it цщгдв acquire 48,751,557 shares of T-Mobile US without incurring any more costs.
Bloomberg notes that SoftBank will receive T-Mobile shares if, at any point between the deal's second anniversary and the end of 2025, the company's trailing 45-day volume-weighted average price is equal to or greater than $150. The transaction would increase SoftBank's ownership of T-Mobile by double, from its current 3.75% to 7.64%.
