Comcast I, Comcast II, Comcast III, Comcast IV, Comcast V and Comcast VI are each deleted from the definition of the “Comcast Entities”, and Comcast LLC (as defined below), together with Comcast, shall hereafter be referred to as the “Comcast Entities” for purposes of this Schedule 13D.
Otherwise, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 14 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Schedule 13D remains unmodified.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Items 5(a) and (b) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
(a)-(b)
The Reporting Person does not directly own any shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. As of September 14, 2012, by reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the Reporting Person is deemed to beneficially own and to share voting and investment power with respect to 94,076,878 shares of Class A Common Stock that are beneficially owned as follows:
|
·
|
28,432,066 shares of Class A Common Stock that are beneficially owned as follows: 25,098,733 shares of Class A Common Stock that are held of record by Intel Capital and 3,333,333 shares of Class A Common Stock that are held of record by Intel Cayman; and
|
|
·
|
65,644,812 shares of Class A Common Stock that are beneficially owned as follows: 65,644,812 shares of Class B Common Stock and Class B Common Units that are held of record by Intel Entity A.
|
Each share of Class B Common Stock, together with one Class B Common Unit, is exchangeable at any time at the option of the holder, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer.
In addition, by virtue of the Equityholders’ Agreement entered into at the Closing (see Item 6 of the Schedule 13D), the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a “group” under Section 13(d) of the Act with respect to the 94,076,878 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and the following shares which are reported separately from this Amendment No. 14, based upon the information contained in that certain Amendment No. 12 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on September 14, 2012 by such persons, pursuant to which such persons have reported that they beneficially own: 705,359,348 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Sprint Entities, 88,504,132 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Comcast Entities, 34,026,470 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Eagle River, 46,404,782 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the TWC Entities, 34,042,970 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Craig O. McCaw and 8,474,440 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the BHN Entities. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by such other persons.
To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the persons listed on Schedule A to the Schedule 13D beneficially owns any shares of the Class A Common Stock as of the date of filing of this Amendment No. 14. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the persons listed on Schedule A that he or she is the beneficial owner of any Class A Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of the Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
Item 5(c) is amended and supplemented by adding the following to the end of the disclosure:
(c)
Based upon information provided to the Reporting Person by Comcast, on August 1, 2012, Comcast completed an internal corporate reorganization whereby Comcast I, Comcast II, Comcast III, Comcast IV and Comcast V, each a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast, merged with and into Comcast VI, with Comcast VI continuing as the surviving entity. Immediately following the completion of such mergers, Comcast VI was converted into a Delaware limited liability company with the name Comcast Wireless Investment, LLC (“Comcast LLC” and, collectively with Comcast, the “Comcast Entities”).
TWC I, TWC II and TWC III provided to Clearwire and Clearwire Communications LLC (“Clearwire Communications”) an irrevocable written notice dated August 29, 2012 (the “Exchange Notice”) of its request to exchange all of the shares of Class B Common Stock of Clearwire together with all of the Class B Common Units of Clearwire Communications held by each of TWC I, TWC II and TWC III into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock of Clearwire (the “Exchange”). According to the Exchange Notice, TWC I, TWC II and TWC III plan to sell the 15,468,261, 15,468,261 and 15,468,260, respectively, shares of Class A Common Stock of Clearwire that it beneficially owns (a) to Sprint Entities, the Comcast Entities, ERH, Google, the BHN Entities, and/or the Intel Entities, Intel Capital, Intel Cayman, and Middlefield pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Strategic Investor Agreement or Section 3.3 of the Equityholders’ Agreement, as applicable, or (b) if such entities or persons did not elect to purchase all of such shares within the specified time period, in one or more public offerings or public open market transactions. The Exchange Notice was delivered on September 4, 2012 and the Exchange was completed on September 13, 2012. According to the Exchange Notice, to the extent that such sales are conducted by means of one or more public offerings or public open market transactions, such sales will be made beginning on or about September 17, 2012, in such amounts and over such time period as determined by the TWC Entities, and in compliance with all applicable securities laws.
On September 7, 2012, TWC I, TWC II and TWC III provided a written notice to the Sprint Entities, ERH, Comcast LLC, the BHN Entities, the Intel Entities, Intel Capital, Intel Cayman and Middlefield, pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Equityholders’ Agreement, notifying them of their intention to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth above and informing each such recipient of its right under the Equityholders’ Agreement to elect to purchase all or any portion of such shares. The description of such letter is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such letter, which is filed as Exhibit 99.14 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. None of the Intel Entities, Intel Capital, Intel Cayman and Middlefield elected to purchase any of such shares of Class A Common Stock.

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
|
99.14
