They will be redeemed under certain conditions for Clearwire common stock at $1.50/share, should Sprint win its battle for a full Clearwire acquisition. Dish Network continues to be in the running for the carrier, and the Special Committee evaluating both bids hasn’t made any determination as to whether to allow Clearwire to take any future draws. It’s also hasn’t altered its recommendation that Sprint be approved as the purchaser.
