Note 11 Subsequent Events
The following events occurred subsequent to June 30, 2025 and are not reflected in the financial results, statements, or footnotes (unless otherwise explicitly stated) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
On July 14, 2025, Array completed the acquisition of King Street Wireless, Inc. and Sunshine Spectrum, Inc. for a total purchase price of $17 million, of which $10 million was paid in prior periods and $7 million was paid at time of closing. Following the acquisitions, King Street Wireless, King Street Wireless, Inc., Advantage Spectrum and Sunshine Spectrum, Inc., are no longer classified as variable interest entities (VIEs). The acquisitions result in the expected realization of certain deferred tax assets, and therefore Array expects to record a reduction to valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and associated discrete income tax benefit of approximately $50 million during the three months ending September 30, 2025.
On July 31, 2025, Array terminated the receivables securitization agreement. In addition, the USCC Master Note Trust, a special purpose entity used to facilitate securitized borrowings using equipment installment plan receivables, was dissolved and, therefore, the entity will no longer be classified as a VIE.
On August 1, 2025, the sale of the wireless operations to T-Mobile closed and Array received cash proceeds of $2,629 million. Array expects a cash income tax liability on the T-Mobile transaction of between $250 million and $300 million. The transaction included a debt exchange offer whereby debt issued by Array could be exchanged for debt issued by T-Mobile, which reduced the cash portion of the purchase price. The cash portion of the purchase price was also reduced by unearned contingent consideration of $89 million as well as other purchase price adjustments outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The final cash proceeds are subject to adjustment according to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Array expects to record exit and disposal costs and recognize a loss on the transaction that will be based on the carrying value of net assets sold as of the close date. As of June 30, 2025, the carrying value of the net assets sold to T-Mobile was approximately $2,400 million.
The debt exchange offering period concluded on August 1, 2025 and resulted in the exchange of $1,680 million of long-term debt comprised of the following Array notes: $489 million of 6.7% Senior Notes, $394 million of 6.25% Senior Notes, $402 million of 5.5% March 2070 Senior Notes and $395 million of 5.5% June 2070 Senior Notes. As a result, on August 1, 2025, after the debt exchange, Array retained $364 million of senior notes, consisting of $55 million 6.7% Senior Notes, $106 million 6.25% Senior Notes, $98 million 5.5% March 2070 Senior Notes, and $105 million 5.5% June 2070 Senior Notes. The unamortized discount and debt issuance costs related to the exchanged debt was $48 million and will be recorded as interest expense during the three months ending September 30, 2025.
On August 1, 2025, Array and T-Mobile entered into a Master License Agreement (MLA), pursuant to which, among other things, T-Mobile has agreed to license from Array, for a minimum of 15 years, space on a minimum of 2,015 existing or to-be-constructed towers owned by Array. The MLA also provided that T-Mobile extend the license term for approximately 600 towers owned by Array for a new 15-year term commencing on August 1, 2025. In addition, the MLA provides terms and conditions for T-Mobile, at its option, to revert certain equipment back to Array and would make Array responsible for any decommissioning, remediation, restoration, or disposal costs of such assets.
The closing of the T-Mobile transaction triggered the recognition of certain cash and non-cash obligations. Such obligations include contingent advisory fees, employee compensation and severance, employee stock award costs, debt extinguishment, income tax expense, administrative costs, restructuring expenses and other wind down costs. In future periods, Array also may incur significant decommissioning costs for certain towers and equipment, and such decommissioning costs may also include remaining obligations under related ground leases. These costs may have a significant impact on Array's financial statements in future periods.
On August 1, 2025, the Array Board of Directors declared a special dividend per Common and Series A outstanding share of $23.00, for shareholders of record on August 11, 2025, which will be payable on August 19, 2025.
On August 1, 2025, certain wireless service companies in Iowa that are not consolidated into the Array financial statements but are accounted for as equity method investments sold specific wireless assets and wireless customers to T-Mobile under separate asset purchase agreements. Array expects to receive a distribution from these transactions in August 2025.
On August 4, 2025, Array repaid the entire outstanding borrowings under all of its term loan agreements and export credit financing agreement of $863 million. Array expects to draw $325 million from its term loan agreement in August 2025.
