EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
250,000 shares of Common Stock ("Sprint Common Stock") of Sprint Corporation
("Sprint") issuable under the Centel Retirement Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit
Employees. 128,535 shares were issued by Sprint before the reclassification of
Sprint Common Stock into FON Common Stock and PCS Common Stock in November 1998,
leaving 121,465 shares. The remaining 121,465 shares were reclassified into
121,465 shares of FON Common Stock and 60,732 shares of PCS Common stock. No
shares of FON Common Stock were issued before the two-for-one split of the FON
Common Stock in the 1999 second quarter, leaving all 121,465 shares of FON
Common Stock. The two-for-one split of the FON Common Stock increased the number
of shares of FON Common Stock under the registration statement to 242,930 shares
of FON Common Stock. No shares of PCS Common Stock were issued before the
two-for-one split of the PCS Common Stock in the 2000 first quarter, leaving
60,732 shares of PCS Common Stock. The two-for-one split of the PCS Common Stock
increased the number of shares of PCS Common Stock under the Registration
Statement to 121,464 shares of PCS Common Stock.
Following the recombination of the PCS Common Stock and the FON Common
Stock in April 2004, the remaining shares of PCS Common Stock were deregistered.
In connection with the merger of Nextel Communications, Inc. with and into a
subsidiary of Sprint in August 2005, Sprint amended its Articles of
Incorporation to change its name to Sprint Nextel Corporation and to redesignate
its FON Common Stock as Common Stock.
No additional shares of Sprint Nextel Common Stock will be issued under the
Plan. Accordingly, the purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the
Registration Statement is to deregister the remaining 242,930 shares of Sprint
Nextel Common Stock covered by this Registration Statement.
