November 2, 2007

To the Stockholders of SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc.:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of stockholders of SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc. to be held at SunCom’s headquarters, 1100 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312, on Monday, December 10, 2007, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The board of directors has fixed the close of business on November 1, 2007 as the record date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

At the special meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 16, 2007, by and among SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., T-Mobile USA, Inc. and Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile USA. T-Mobile USA is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG.

If the merger is completed, stockholders of SunCom Class A common stock who have not perfected their appraisal rights will have the right to receive, for each share of SunCom Class A common stock they hold at the time of the merger, $27.00 in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes.

After careful consideration, the SunCom board of directors unanimously has determined that the agreement and plan of merger and the proposed merger are fair to, and in the best interests of, SunCom and its stockholders and has therefore unanimously approved and declared advisable the agreement and plan of merger and the transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger, including the merger. Accordingly, the SunCom board of directors recommends that you vote ‘‘FOR’’ the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger and ‘‘FOR’’ any adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

In connection with the agreement and plan of merger, funds managed by, and other entities affiliated with, Highland Capital Management, L.P. and Pardus Capital Management, L.P., which collectively hold a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock of SunCom, entered into a voting agreement with T-Mobile USA and Tango Merger Sub pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to, among other things, vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger and against any competing proposal. Accordingly, unless the agreement and plan of merger is terminated before the special meeting, stockholder approval of the merger is assured.

The accompanying notice of special meeting and proxy statement provide information regarding the matters to be acted on at the special meeting, including any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. Please read these materials carefully.

The adoption of the agreement and plan of merger requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The failure of any stockholder to vote, or the abstention of any stockholder from voting, on the proposal to adopt the agreement and plan of merger will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger. The proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting if a quorum is present. Once you have read the accompanying materials, please take the time to vote on the matters submitted to stockholders at the special meeting, whether

Table of Contents

or not you plan to attend the special meeting, by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided. Voting by proxy will ensure that you are represented at the special meeting even if you are not there in person. Voting by proxy will not prevent you from voting your shares of Class A common stock in person if you subsequently choose to attend the special meeting in person. Your vote in person will revoke any proxy previously submitted.

If your shares of Class A common stock are held in ‘‘street name’’ by your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee, your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee will be unable to vote your shares of Class A common stock without instructions from you. You should instruct your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee to vote your shares of Class A common stock, following the procedures provided by your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee.

Thank you for your support of SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc.

Very truly yours,

Michael E. Kalogris
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulatory agency has approved or disapproved the merger, passed upon the merits or fairness of the merger or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement is dated November 2, 2007 and is first being mailed to stockholders on or about November 6, 2007.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2007

A special meeting of stockholders of SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc. will be held on Monday, December 10, 2007, starting at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at SunCom’s headquarters, 1100 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312 for the following purposes:

1. To consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 16, 2007, by and among SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., T-Mobile USA, Inc. and Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile USA, Inc., as such agreement may be amended from time to time.

2. To consider and approve any adjournments of the special meeting to a later date or time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger described in Proposal 1 if there are insufficient votes at the time of any such adjournment to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger described in Proposal 1.

3. To act upon other business as may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

Only stockholders of record of SunCom’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as shown by the transfer books of SunCom, at the close of business on November 1, 2007, the record date for the special meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. Stockholders of record, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the special meeting. Registration and seating will begin at 9:00 a.m. Each stockholder may be asked to present valid picture identification such as a driver’s license or passport. Please note that if your shares of Class A common stock, or the shares of the person or entity for whom you are the duly appointed proxy, are held in ‘‘street name,’’ you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting stock ownership as of the record date. Cameras (including camera-equipped cellular phones), recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the special meeting.

The adoption of the agreement and plan of merger requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A common stock. The failure of any stockholder to vote, or the abstention of any stockholder from voting, on the proposal to adopt the agreement and plan of merger will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger. The proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting if a quorum is present. Even if you plan to attend the special meeting in person, you are encouraged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your shares will be represented at the special meeting. If you do attend the special meeting and wish to vote in person, your vote in person will revoke any proxy previously submitted.

Table of Contents

Under Delaware law, if the merger is completed, stockholders who do not vote in favor of, or consent in writing to, the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares, but only if any such stockholder submits a written demand for appraisal before the vote on the agreement and plan of merger and complies with the other Delaware law procedures and requirements explained in the accompanying proxy statement.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted ‘‘FOR’’ the adoption of agreement and plan of merger and ‘‘FOR’’ any adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. If you fail to return your proxy card, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting, but will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger and, if a quorum is present, will not affect the outcome of the vote regarding the approval of the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

The SunCom board of directors unanimously has determined that the agreement and plan of merger and the proposed merger are fair to, and in the best interests of, SunCom and its stockholders and has unanimously approved and declared advisable the agreement and plan of merger and recommends that you vote ‘‘FOR’’ the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger and ‘‘FOR’’ any adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

By order of the board of directors,

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

The following summary, together with ‘‘Questions and Answers About the Special Meeting and the Merger,’’ highlights selected information contained in this proxy statement. It may not contain all of the information that may be important in your consideration of the proposed merger. Accordingly, we encourage you to read carefully this entire proxy statement, its annexes and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement. See ‘‘Where You Can Find Additional Information’’ on page 65. Each item in this Summary Term Sheet includes a page reference directing you to a more complete description of that item.

Unless we otherwise indicate or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this document to ‘‘SunCom,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our,’’ and ‘‘us’’ refer to SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise suggests; all references to ‘‘T-Mobile’’ refer to T-Mobile USA, Inc.; all references to ‘‘Merger Sub’’ refer to Tango Merger Sub, Inc.; all references to ‘‘merger agreement’’ refer to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 16, 2007, by and among SunCom, T-Mobile and Merger Sub, as it may be amended from time to time, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this document; and all references to the ‘‘merger’’ refer to the merger contemplated by the merger agreement.

• The Parties to the Merger (Page 10)

SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., which we refer to in this proxy statement as SunCom, is a Delaware corporation and a leader in offering digital wireless communications services to consumers in the southeastern United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. SunCom’s wireless communications network covers customers in a contiguous geographic area primarily encompassing portions of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia. In addition, SunCom operates a wireless communications network covering areas of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

T-Mobile USA, Inc., which we refer to in this proxy statement as T-Mobile, is a member of the T-Mobile International group, one of the world’s leading companies in mobile communications, and the mobile telecommunications subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG.

Tango Merger Sub, Inc., which we refer to in this proxy statement as Merger Sub, is a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile that was organized solely for the purpose of completing the merger.

• The Merger; Closing (Page 35)

You are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 16, 2007, by and among SunCom, T-Mobile and Merger Sub, as such agreement may be amended from time to time, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the merger agreement. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into SunCom, with SunCom continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the merger, SunCom, as the surviving corporation, will become a privately held company wholly owned by T-Mobile, which is in turn an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG.

Under the merger agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the parties are required to close the merger no later than the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described under ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Merger,’’ except that if the date on which such three-business-day period expires is before April 15, 2008, then the parties are not required to close the merger until April 15, 2008.

Subject to adoption of the merger agreement by SunCom’s stockholders and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including the receipt of various regulatory approvals, we currently anticipate completing the merger in the second quarter of 2008, but not earlier than April 15, 2008.

Table of Contents

• Merger Consideration (Page 35)

If the merger is completed, each share of Class A common stock (excluding any shares of Class A common stock held immediately before the effective time of the merger by T-Mobile, Merger Sub, or held by SunCom (as treasury stock or otherwise), any shares held by stockholders, if any, who have perfected their appraisal rights, and certain restricted shares issued after the date of the merger agreement, the treatment of which is described under ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Restricted Shares’’) will be converted into the right to receive $27.00 per share, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the merger consideration, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. Following the completion of the merger, shares of Class A common stock will no longer be publicly traded, you will cease to have any ownership interest in SunCom, and you will not participate in any future earnings or growth of SunCom.

• Treatment of Restricted Shares (Page 35)

Restricted shares of our Class A common stock will vest and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of restricted shares multiplied by the merger consideration, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes (subject to certain limitations with respect to restricted shares issued after the date of the merger agreement in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, as described under ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Restricted Shares’’).

• Required Vote (Page 11)

The adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The failure of any stockholder to vote, or the abstention of any stockholder from voting, on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the merger agreement.

The proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting if a quorum is present. If a quorum is present, the failure of any stockholder to vote will not affect the outcome of the vote regarding the approval of the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies; abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

• Voting Agreement (Page 54 and Annex C)

In connection with the merger, funds managed by, and other entities affiliated with, Highland Capital Management, L.P. and Pardus Capital Management, L.P., which collectively hold a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock of SunCom, entered into a voting agreement with T-Mobile and Merger Sub pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to, among other things, vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and against any competing proposal. Accordingly, unless the merger agreement is terminated before the special meeting, stockholder approval of the merger is assured.

• Share Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers (Page 55)

As of November 1, 2007, the record date for the special meeting, the directors and executive officers of SunCom (other than directors employed by Highland Capital Management, L.P. or Pardus Capital Management, L.P.) held and were entitled to vote, in the aggregate, approximately 0.5% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock. Funds managed by Highland Capital and Pardus Capital, which have agreed to vote in favor of the merger (see ‘‘Voting Agreement’’ on page 54), held and were entitled to vote, in the aggregate, approximately 50.7% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock. Highland Capital and Pardus Capital each designated three directors to the SunCom board, and of those designees, two are employees of Highland Capital and two are employees of Pardus Capital. Each of our directors and executive officers has informed us that he or she intends to vote all of his or her shares of Class A common stock ‘‘FOR’’ the adoption of the merger agreement.

Table of Contents

• Recommendation of SunCom’s Board of Directors (Page 16)

Our board of directors has determined that the merger agreement and the proposed merger are fair to, and in the best interests of, SunCom and its stockholders and has therefore unanimously approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger. Accordingly, the SunCom board of directors recommends that you vote ‘‘FOR’’ the adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of the merger.

• Opinion of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (Page 21 and Annex B)

SunCom’s financial advisor, Goldman, Sachs & Co., which we refer to in this proxy statement as Goldman Sachs, delivered its opinion to the SunCom board of directors that, as of September 16, 2007 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the $27.00 per share to be received by holders of shares of SunCom Class A common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such stockholders. The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated September 16, 2007, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with its opinion, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. Goldman Sachs provided its opinion for the information and assistance of SunCom’s board of directors in connection with its consideration of the merger. Goldman Sachs’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of SunCom Class A common stock should vote with respect to the merger or any other matter.

• Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (Page 28)

In considering the merger, you should be aware that certain SunCom directors, officers and employees may have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a SunCom stockholder generally, and that may present actual or potential conflicts of interest. SunCom’s board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving the merger agreement and the merger. These interests include rights of executive officers under employment agreements, eligibility to receive bonuses contingent on completion of a sale transaction such as the merger, accelerated vesting and cash-out of restricted shares and rights to continued indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to be provided by SunCom, as the surviving corporation in the merger, to current and former directors, officers and employees of SunCom and its subsidiaries for acts or omissions occurring before the merger. In addition, officers or other employees of SunCom may be offered employment opportunities with the surviving corporation or its subsidiaries, may become officers or employees in one or more companies that do business with the surviving corporation or its subsidiaries, or both. However, no such employment arrangements have been made or agreed to as of the date of this proxy statement.

• Termination of the Merger Agreement; Fees and Expenses (Page 50 and Page 52)

The merger agreement may be terminated before consummation under a number of specified circumstances, including (among others) by us (1) in order to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined under ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Change of Recommendation; Alternative Proposals and Superior Proposals’’), provided that we give T-Mobile four-business-days’ notice and an opportunity to match the Superior Proposal, or (2) in the event that a final injunction or order is issued prohibiting the merger. Upon termination of the merger agreement, under specified circumstances, we will be required to reimburse T-Mobile for up to $10 million of the transaction expenses of T-Mobile or Merger Sub and, under other specified circumstances (including the circumstance referred to in clause (1) above), we will be required to pay T-Mobile a termination fee of $48 million, less any expenses previously reimbursed to T-Mobile.

• Conditions to the Merger (Page 49)

• Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations. Each party’s obligation to complete the merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions at or before the effective time of the merger, including (1) approval by our stockholders, (2) absence of a final injunction restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the merger, and (3) receipt of required regulatory approvals.

Table of Contents

• Conditions to SunCom’s Obligations. Our obligation to complete the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following additional conditions at or before the effective time of the merger: (1) the accuracy of representations and warranties made by T-Mobile and Merger Sub (except, generally, inaccuracies not reasonably expected to prevent, render illegal, delay beyond the end date (including any extension), or materially impair the ability of T-Mobile or Merger Sub to consummate the merger), and (2) T-Mobile’s and Merger Sub’s performance of and compliance with agreements and covenants contained in the merger agreement in all material respects.

• Conditions to T-Mobile’s and Merger Sub’s Obligations. The obligation of T-Mobile and Merger Sub to complete the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following additional conditions at or before the effective time of the merger: (1) the accuracy of representations and warranties made by us (except, generally, inaccuracies that do not have a material adverse effect on us), and (2) our performance of and compliance with agreements and covenants contained in the merger agreement in all material respects.

• Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (Page 32)

The receipt of cash for shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state, local or foreign income or other tax laws). In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a holder of shares of our Class A common stock will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the amount of cash received by the holder in exchange for the shares and (2) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. Stockholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or foreign income and other tax laws) of the merger.

• Regulatory Approvals (Page 34)

The merger is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which we refer to as the HSR Act. SunCom filed its notification and report form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice under the HSR Act on October 5, 2007. T-Mobile filed its notification and report form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice under the HSR Act on October 17, 2007. On October 26, 2007, SunCom and T-Mobile received notification from the FTC that the merger was granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. SunCom and T-Mobile are also required to obtain approval of the FCC prior to the transfer of control of FCC licenses and other authorizations. On October 1, 2007, SunCom and T-Mobile filed applications for FCC consent to the transfer of licenses and authorizations. On October 23, 2007, the FCC placed the application on public notice and invited interested parties to file comments or petitions to deny by November 23, 2007.

• Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal (Page 60)

Under Delaware law, holders of shares of our Class A common stock who do not vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement will have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares of common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery if the merger is completed, but only if they comply with all requirements of Delaware law, which are summarized in this proxy statement. This appraisal amount could be more than, the same as, or less than the merger consideration. Any holder of shares of our Class A common stock intending to exercise such holder’s appraisal rights, among other things, must submit a written demand for an appraisal to us before the vote on the adoption of the merger agreement, must not vote (whether in person or by submitting a proxy) in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and must continue to hold its shares of our Class A common stock through the effective date of the merger. A copy of the relevant section of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the DGCL, regarding appraisal rights is reproduced and attached as Annex D to this proxy statement. Your failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under Delaware law will result in the loss of your appraisal rights.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING AND THE MERGER

The following questions and answers address briefly some questions you may have regarding the special meeting and the merger. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a stockholder of SunCom. Please refer to the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement, the annexes to this proxy statement and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement.

Q: When and where is the special meeting?

A: The special meeting of stockholders of SunCom will be held at SunCom’s headquarters, 1100 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312, on December 10, 2007, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. See ‘‘The Special Meeting’’ beginning on page 11.

Q: What matters will be voted on at the special meeting?

A: You will be asked to consider and vote on the adoption of the merger agreement and such other business as may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

Q: How does the SunCom board of directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?

A: The SunCom board of directors recommends that you vote ‘‘FOR’’ the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and ‘‘FOR’’ any adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

Q: Who is entitled to attend and vote at the special meeting?

A: The record date for the special meeting is November 1, 2007. Only holders of shares of SunCom Class A common stock as of the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. As of the record date, there were approximately 59,227,085 shares of SunCom Class A common stock outstanding.

Q: What constitutes a quorum for the special meeting?

A: The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders representing a majority of the shares of SunCom Class A common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting will constitute a quorum for the special meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy card, then your shares will be counted as part of the quorum. All shares of SunCom Class A common stock held by stockholders that are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting, regardless of how such shares are voted or whether such stockholders abstain from voting, will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum.

Q: How many votes are required to adopt the merger agreement? How many votes are required to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies?

A: Under Delaware law, the adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. In connection with the merger agreement, funds managed by, and other entities affiliated with, Highland Capital Management, L.P. and Pardus Capital Management, L.P., which collectively hold a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock of SunCom, entered into a voting agreement with T-Mobile and Merger Sub pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to, among other things, vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and against any competing proposal. Accordingly, unless the merger agreement is terminated before the special meeting, stockholder approval of the merger is assured.

Table of Contents

Q: How are votes counted?

A: Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the special meeting, who will separately count ‘‘FOR’’ and ‘‘AGAINST’’ votes and abstentions. Because under Delaware law the adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, the failure to vote or the abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the merger agreement. If a quorum is present, the failure of any stockholder to vote will not affect the outcome of the vote regarding the approval of the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies; abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

Q: What will a SunCom stockholder receive when the merger occurs?

A: For every share of SunCom Class A common stock they hold at the effective time of the merger, stockholders will be entitled to receive $27.00 in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. This does not apply to shares held by T-Mobile or Merger Sub, shares held by SunCom (in its treasury or otherwise), or shares held by stockholders, if any, who have perfected their appraisal rights.

Q: How does the merger consideration compare to the market price of the Class A common stock?

A: The merger consideration of $27.00 per share of Class A common stock represents a premium of approximately 23% based on the closing price of shares of Class A common stock on September 14, 2007, the last trading day before the announcement of the proposed merger, a premium of approximately 31% based on the average closing price of shares of Class A common stock over the one-month period ending on September 14, 2007, and a premium of approximately 1.2% over the pre-announcement 52-week high closing price of $26.67 reached on July 24, 2007.

Q: What do I need to do now?

A: After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, including the annexes and the other documents referred to in this proxy statement, please vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you hold your shares in ‘‘street name,’’ please follow the instructions on the voting form provided by your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee. You can also attend the special meeting and vote. Do NOT send your stock certificate(s) with your proxy.

Q: How many votes do I have?

A: You have one vote for each share of SunCom Class A common stock you own as of the record date.

Q: How do I vote?

A: You may vote:

• by completing, signing and dating each proxy card you receive and returning it in the enclosed prepaid envelope; or

• in person by appearing at the special meeting.

If you return your signed proxy card, but do not mark the boxes showing how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted ‘‘FOR’’ the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and ‘‘FOR’’ any adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the special meeting, the persons appointed as proxies will vote the shares of Class A common stock represented by the proxy as directed by the board of directors.

Q: If my shares are held by my brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee, how do I vote my shares?

A: If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by another nominee, such as a bank or trust, then the brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee is considered to be the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. However, you still are considered to be the beneficial owner of those shares, with your shares being held in ‘‘street name.’’ ‘‘Street name’’ holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote their shares. Your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee will only be permitted to vote your shares for you if you instruct it how to vote. Therefore, it is important that you promptly follow the directions provided by your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee regarding how to instruct them to vote your shares.

In addition, because any shares you may hold in ‘‘street name’’ will be deemed to be held by a different stockholder than any shares you hold of record, shares held in ‘‘street name’’ will not be combined for voting purposes with shares you hold of record. To be sure your shares are voted, you should instruct your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee to vote your shares. Similarly, if you own shares in various registered forms, such as jointly with your spouse, as trustee of a trust or as custodian for a minor, you will receive, and will need to sign and return, a separate proxy card for those shares because they are held in a different form of record ownership. Shares held by a corporation or business entity must be voted by an authorized officer of the entity.

Q: What if I fail to instruct my brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote?

A: Without instructions, your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee will not vote any of your shares held in ‘‘street name.’’ When a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner, this is called a ‘‘broker non-vote.’’ Broker non-votes (if any) will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the merger agreement and, if a quorum is present, will not affect the outcome of the vote regarding the approval of the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

Q: What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

A: If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares that are registered in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, you will need to sign and return each proxy card you receive.

Q: May I change my vote after I have submitted my proxy?

A: Yes. You may revoke any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation at any time before it is voted, subject to the limitation described below. Proxies may be revoked by:

• filing with our corporate secretary, at or before the taking of the vote at the special meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the proxy to be voted;

• duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to our corporate secretary before the taking of the vote at the special meeting; or

• attending the special meeting and voting in person, although attendance at the special meeting will not by itself constitute a revocation of a proxy.

You should send any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy to SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., 1100 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or hand deliver it to our corporate secretary at or before the taking of the vote at the special meeting.

If your shares of SunCom Class A common stock are held through a broker, bank, trust or other nominee, you should follow the instructions of your broker, bank, trust or other nominee

Table of Contents

regarding the revocation of proxies. If your broker, bank, trust or other nominee allows you to submit a proxy by telephone or the Internet, you may be able to change your vote by submitting a proxy again by telephone or the Internet.

Voting by mailing in your proxy card will not prevent you from voting in person at the special meeting. You are encouraged to submit a proxy by mail even if you plan to attend the special meeting in person to ensure that your shares of Class A common stock are represented at the special meeting.

Q: Should I send in my stock certificates now?

A: No. After the merger is completed, you will be sent a letter of transmittal with detailed written instructions for exchanging your shares of our Class A common stock for the merger consideration. If your shares are held in ‘‘street name’’ by your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee, you will receive instructions from your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee as to how to effect the surrender of your ‘‘street name’’ shares in exchange for the merger consideration. Please do not send your certificates in now.

Q: What happens if I sell my shares of SunCom Class A common stock before the special meeting?

A: The record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting is earlier than the date of the special meeting and the expected closing date of the merger. If you transfer your shares of SunCom Class A common stock after the record date but before the special meeting, you will, unless special arrangements are made, retain your right to vote at the special meeting but will transfer the right to receive the merger consideration to the person to whom you transfer your shares. In addition, if you sell your shares prior to the special meeting, you will not be eligible to exercise your appraisal rights in respect of the merger. For a more detailed discussion of your appraisal rights and the requirements for perfecting your appraisal rights, see ‘‘Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal’’ on page 60 and Annex D.

Q: Am I entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger?

A: Stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, provided they satisfy the special criteria and conditions set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL. For more information regarding appraisal rights, see ‘‘Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal’’ on page 60. In addition, a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL is reproduced and attached as Annex D to this proxy statement.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

Time, Place and Purpose of the Special Meeting

This proxy statement is being furnished to our stockholders as part of our solicitation of proxies for use at the special meeting to be held on Monday, December 10, 2007, starting at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at SunCom’s headquarters, 1100 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312, or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit your proxy on our behalf. The purpose of the special meeting is for our stockholders to consider and vote upon the adoption of the merger agreement and thereby approve the merger. Under Delaware law, adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock. A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to our stockholders on or about November 6, 2007.

Record Date and Quorum

The holders of record of shares of SunCom Class A common stock as of the close of business on November 1, 2007, the record date for the special meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting and at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. On the record date, 59,227,085 shares of our Class A common stock were outstanding.

A quorum is necessary to hold and transact business at the special meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the special meeting. Shares of our Class A common stock represented in person or by proxy will be counted for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting. Shares represented in person or by proxy that fail to vote or abstain from voting with respect to the adoption of the merger agreement will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. The failure to vote or abstentions will have the same effect as shares voted against the adoption of the merger agreement; if a quorum is present, the failure to vote will not affect the outcome of the vote regarding the approval of the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies; abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

If a brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee holding shares of record for a customer indicates that it does not have discretionary authority to vote as to a particular matter, those shares, which are referred to as broker non-votes, will be treated as present and entitled to vote at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists but will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the merger agreement and, if a quorum is present, will not affect the outcome of the vote regarding the approval of the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

Required Vote; Voting Agreement

The adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock. The failure to vote, abstention or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a share voted against the adoption of the merger agreement.

In connection with the merger agreement, funds managed by, and other entities affiliated with, Highland Capital Management, L.P. and Pardus Capital Management, L.P., which collectively hold a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, entered into a voting agreement with T-Mobile and Merger Sub pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to, among other things, vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and against any competing proposal. Accordingly, unless the merger agreement is terminated before the special meeting, stockholder approval of the merger is assured.

Table of Contents

The proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting, if a quorum is present. If a quorum is present, the failure of any stockholder to vote will not affect the outcome of the vote regarding the approval of the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies; abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

As of November 1, 2007, the record date for the special meeting, the directors and executive officers of SunCom (other than directors employed by Highland Capital or Pardus Capital) held and were entitled to vote, in the aggregate, approximately 0.5% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock. Funds managed by Highland Capital and Pardus Capital, which have agreed to vote in favor of the merger (see ‘‘Voting Agreement’’), held and were entitled to vote, in the aggregate, approximately 50.7% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock. Highland Capital and Pardus Capital each designated three directors to the SunCom board, and of those designees, two are employees of Highland Capital and two are employees of Pardus Capital. Each of our directors and executive officers has informed us that he or she intends to vote all of his or her shares of Class A common stock ‘‘FOR’’ the adoption of the merger agreement and ‘‘FOR’’ any adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

Proxies

All shares of our Class A common stock entitled to vote and represented at the special meeting by properly executed proxies received prior to or at the meeting, and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated on the proxies. If no instructions are indicated on your properly executed and returned proxy, such proxy will be voted ‘‘FOR’’ the adoption of the merger agreement and ‘‘FOR’’ any adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

You may submit your proxy:

• by completing, signing and dating each proxy card you receive and returning it in the enclosed prepaid envelope; or

• in person by appearing at the special meeting.

If you hold your shares in ‘‘street name,’’ please follow the instructions on the voting form provided by your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee. If you plan to attend the special meeting, you will need a legal proxy from your brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee in order to vote your shares in person.

Revocation of Proxies

You may revoke any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation at any time before it is voted, subject to the limitation described below. Proxies may be revoked by:

• filing with our corporate secretary, at or before the taking of the vote at the special meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the proxy to be voted;

• duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to our corporate secretary before the taking of the vote at the special meeting; or

• attending the special meeting and voting in person, although attendance at the special meeting will not by itself constitute a revocation of a proxy.

You should send any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy to SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., 1100 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or hand-deliver it to our corporate secretary at or before the taking of the vote at the special meeting.

Table of Contents

regarding the revocation of proxies. If your brokerage firm, bank, trust or nominee allows you to submit a proxy by telephone or the Internet, you may be able to change your vote by submitting a proxy again by telephone or the Internet.

Rights of Stockholders Who Object to the Merger

Stockholders are entitled to statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the merger. This means that, if you comply with the procedures for perfecting appraisal rights under Delaware law and you do not withdraw or otherwise lose your appraisal rights, you are entitled to have the value of your shares of our Class A common stock determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and to receive payment based on that valuation in lieu of the merger consideration. The ultimate amount you receive as a dissenting stockholder in an appraisal proceeding may be more than, the same as or less than the amount you would have received under the merger agreement.

To exercise your appraisal rights, you must submit a written demand for appraisal to us before the vote on the adoption of the merger agreement, you must not vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement (whether in person or by submitting a proxy) and you must continue to hold your shares of our Class A common stock through the effective date of the merger. Your failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under Delaware law will result in the loss of your appraisal rights. See ‘‘Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal’’ and the text of the Delaware appraisal rights statute reproduced in its entirety as Annex D to this proxy statement.

Solicitation of Proxies

This proxy solicitation is being made and paid for by us on behalf of our board of directors. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by personal interview, mail, e-mail, telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. These persons will not be paid additional remuneration for their efforts. We will also request brokerage firms, banks, trusts and other nominees to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of SunCom Class A common stock that the brokerage firms, banks, trusts and nominees hold of record. Upon request, we will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for doing so.

The Merger

Background of the Merger

On January 31, 2007, we entered into an agreement, which was amended on May 15, 2007 and which we collectively refer to as the exchange agreement, providing for a debt-for-equity exchange with holders of substantially all of our then-outstanding senior subordinated notes, a related 1-10 reverse stock split and amendments to certain of our governing documents. As a result of these transactions, which we collectively refer to as the exchange transaction, substantially all of the former holders of our senior subordinated notes exchanged those notes for Class A common stock of SunCom representing approximately 88% of our outstanding common stock and gained the right, among other things, to appoint a majority of the members of our board of directors. The exchange transaction was completed on May 15, 2007.

We determined to enter into the exchange transaction for a variety of reasons, including that our pre-exchange debt load had become unsustainable relative to our projected revenues and cash flow. In addition, the board of directors, and the noteholders who participated in the exchange, believed that: a sale of SunCom would likely be the best strategic alternative due to the business challenges facing SunCom from expected increased competition in our market space and the prospective obsolescence of our technology without significant capital expenditures; the exchange transaction would make SunCom more attractive to a potential purchaser by converting a substantial amount of indebtedness into equity; and preliminary discussions with potential strategic buyers for SunCom in 2006 (including T-Mobile) indicated that, absent a restructuring (such as the exchange transaction), only a purchase at distressed values would be of interest to such buyers, leaving no residual value for our stockholders. In contrast, a sale transaction after a restructuring (such as the exchange transaction) would result in significant incremental value that would accrue to our stockholders. Accordingly, SunCom and the participating noteholders agreed in the exchange agreement that SunCom would, immediately upon completion of the exchange transaction, actively pursue a sale of SunCom.

On January 31, 2007, we issued a press release announcing that we had entered into the exchange agreement and that our board of directors would pursue strategic alternatives, including the potential sale of substantially all of our business, and had engaged Goldman Sachs as our strategic advisor. The board and Goldman Sachs discussed the expectation that a combination of SunCom with a participant in the wireless or wired telecommunications industry would result in substantial cost savings and other synergies, and that because of such synergies, strategic buyers would likely be able to offer higher prices than financial acquirors would likely offer. At our board’s request, Goldman Sachs identified and contacted a large number of potential acquirors, including other industry participants and participants in related industries, which we refer to as strategic buyers, as well as financial investment or private equity firms, which we refer to as financial buyers. These potential buyers were told that SunCom would be interested in bids for the whole company, or for either our U.S. domestic business or Puerto Rico business separately. Eventually, 32 potential buyers (including 17 strategic buyers) entered into confidentiality agreements with us and received confidential information concerning SunCom. T-Mobile entered into a confidentiality agreement with us on May 10, 2007 (which was amended and restated on October 16, 2007, to provide for mutual confidentiality obligations between the parties).

Throughout June and July of 2007, the potential buyers received limited non-public information concerning SunCom, and several of the most highly-interested potential buyers attended presentations by our management. We set August 1, 2007 as the deadline for submission of indications of interest. On that date, T-Mobile submitted an indication of interest in acquiring SunCom at a price of $22.00 per share in cash, while another industry participant, which we refer to in this proxy statement as Participant 2, submitted an indication of interest in acquiring SunCom at an enterprise value of $2.365 billion, which equated to approximately $26.61 per share, in cash. In addition, two financial buyers submitted separate indications of interest in acquiring our Puerto Rico business.

On August 8, 2007, our board met, together with Goldman Sachs and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, our transaction counsel, to discuss the indications of interest. In light of the limited number of

Table of Contents

indications and the belief that T-Mobile could afford to pay a price substantially higher than its initial indicative bid due to the likelihood that an acquisition of SunCom by T-Mobile would result in substantial cost savings and synergies, our board of directors determined to invite both of the potential whole-company acquirors and the higher of the two potential Puerto Rico-only acquirors to participate in further diligence and in final-round bidding.

During August, the potential acquirors were provided additional non-public information concerning SunCom, further opportunities to meet with our management to discuss the business, and opportunities to visit our facilities. In addition, the potential buyers were provided with a form of acquisition agreement. In the second half of August, senior management of Participant 2 met with certain of our directors and senior executives, together with their respective financial advisors, to discuss, among other things, potential synergies that might be produced by a combination with Participant 2; and senior executives of T-Mobile and senior executives of SunCom met, together with their respective financial advisors, to discuss a combination with T-Mobile. In late August, Goldman Sachs sent instructions to the participants requesting that comments on the form of acquisition agreement be provided by Friday, September 7, and that final bids be submitted on Wednesday, September 12.

On Friday, September 7, senior executives of Participant 2 met with certain of our directors (all of whom were members of the informal transaction committee formed to provide oversight for the sale process), together with their respective financial advisors, without our management present. At this meeting, Participant 2 again discussed the possibilities, risks and opportunities of a combination of Participant 2 and SunCom. During the week of September 1-8, both T-Mobile and Participant 2 provided comments on the form of acquisition agreement. Shortly thereafter, T-Mobile also provided a form of voting agreement, which T-Mobile demanded be executed in connection with an acquisition by T-Mobile, and pursuant to which stockholders holding a majority of SunCom’s outstanding stock would commit to vote in favor of the T-Mobile transaction and against any competing transaction for a period that would last until approval of the merger agreement or 12 months following termination of the merger agreement.

On Monday, September 10, Wachtell Lipton spoke with counsel for each of T-Mobile and Participant 2 to provide feedback on each respective acquisition agreement mark-up.

On Wednesday, September 12, T-Mobile submitted a proposal to acquire SunCom at a price of $26.00 per share, in cash, together with a substantially improved form of acquisition agreement, which T-Mobile had revised in response to the conversation between legal counsel on September 10. T-Mobile’s proposal was conditioned upon certain stockholders, collectively holding a majority of SunCom’s outstanding stock, agreeing to execute a voting agreement committing those stockholders to vote in favor of the T-Mobile transaction and against any competing transaction for a period that would last until approval of the merger agreement or nine months (reduced from 12 months in T-Mobile’s original proposal) following termination of the merger agreement. We refer to this period as the ‘‘tail period.’’ Also that day, Participant 2 informed Goldman Sachs that Participant 2 was not in a position to submit a competitive bid.

On Thursday, September 13, the informal sale committee of our board (comprised of our chief executive officer, one independent director and four directors affiliated with either Highland Capital or Pardus Capital, our two largest stockholders) met by telephone together with our outside financial and legal advisors. After some discussion, including of potential risks and uncertainties in T-Mobile’s bid and dissatisfaction of certain of our larger stockholders with the $26.00 price, our directors instructed Goldman Sachs to speak to T-Mobile’s financial advisor to determine whether T-Mobile would increase its proposed price. Following conversations between representatives of Goldman Sachs and representatives of T-Mobile’s financial advisor, on Friday, September 14, T-Mobile informed Goldman Sachs that T-Mobile would be prepared to offer $27.00 per share, subject to, among other things, confirmation that stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding stock agree to execute a voting agreement in the proposed form.

Later on Friday, our full board of directors met by telephone with our outside financial and legal advisors. Following discussion, our board of directors instructed SunCom’s advisors to negotiate

Table of Contents

acceptable final transaction documents with T-Mobile over the weekend. From Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, Wachtell Lipton and T-Mobile’s outside legal counsel completed negotiations of the merger agreement and related voting agreement. Among other things, the number of circumstances in which a ‘‘tail period’’ would apply were reduced, and the length of the ‘‘tail period’’ in applicable circumstances was reduced further to seven-and-a-half months from nine months.

On Sunday, September 16, 2007, our full board of directors met in person (with one director participating by telephone), together with our financial and legal advisors. During this meeting, members of management and members of the informal operations committee of our board of directors discussed SunCom’s standalone prospects, including potential opportunities and risks of continuing as an independent entity. After further discussion of SunCom’s current performance and long-term prospects, our board of directors concluded that the risks of remaining independent, including execution risks as well as risks posed by external matters outside of our control, substantially outweighed the opportunities. Goldman Sachs then reviewed for our directors the history of SunCom’s sale process, T-Mobile’s offer of $27.00 per share and the current status of negotiations with T-Mobile, and made a presentation of its financial analyses concerning the proposed transaction with T-Mobile. Wachtell Lipton reviewed with our directors the board’s fiduciary obligations, summarized the material terms of the proposed merger agreement and voting agreement, and reported on the resolution of open issues during the course of negotiations with T-Mobile. Goldman Sachs then rendered to our board of directors its oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated September 16, 2007, to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the $27.00 per share all-cash merger consideration to be received by holders of our Company Class A common stock in the T-Mobile transaction pursuant to the contemplated merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such holders. After further discussion, our board of directors, by unanimous vote of all of its members, approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and resolved to recommend that SunCom’s stockholders vote to adopt the merger agreement. Following the conclusion of the board meeting, Wachtell Lipton and legal counsel for T-Mobile finalized the transaction documentation, the parties executed the merger agreement and T-Mobile and the stockholder parties to the voting agreement executed the voting agreement. On the morning of September 17, 2007, SunCom and T-Mobile issued a joint press release announcing the proposed merger.

Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Board of Directors

After careful consideration, our board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and determined that the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, SunCom and its stockholders. Accordingly, our board of directors recommends that you vote ‘‘FOR’’ the adoption of the merger agreement.

In the course of reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the merger, our board of directors consulted with its financial and legal advisors and considered a number of factors that our board of directors believed supported its decision, including the following:

• our board of directors’ familiarity with the business, operations, properties and assets, financial condition, business strategy, and prospects of SunCom (as well as the risks involved in achieving those prospects), the nature of the industry in which SunCom competes, industry trends, and economic and market conditions, both on a historical and on a prospective basis;

• the comprehensive process undertaken by our board of directors and its advisors to solicit interest in an acquisition of SunCom, the level of interest generated (with 32 potential bidders executing confidentiality agreements during the process) and the competitive dynamic that resulted from the presence of two highly interested bidders until the final few days, as described in ‘‘The Merger—Background of the Merger’’;

Table of Contents

• the winning bidder, T-Mobile, was long believed by our board of directors to be able to offer the highest price for SunCom, due to the presence of greater opportunities for synergies and cost-savings than would be present for any other acquiror. In this regard, our board of directors noted that T-Mobile has no network operations in SunCom’s operating region, and is our largest roaming partner;

• the absence of a bid from another party or group of parties that is more desirable than T-Mobile’s bid, notwithstanding the thorough auction process undertaken by us and the wide coverage of our auction process in the trade press and mainstream media;

• the conditions and trends in the wireless telecommunications industry and our prospects if we were to remain an independent company, including risks and uncertainties related to the following:

— SunCom’s position as a provider of wireless services primarily to rural and suburban areas, including our relative size in light of the trend toward consolidation in the wireless telecommunications industry;

— the increasing challenges faced by us as an independent company pursuing organic growth or growth through acquisitions of other companies;

— the fact that our existing roaming agreement with T-Mobile, which accounts for the vast majority of our current roaming minutes-of-use and roaming revenue, is not subject to any minimum commitments from T-Mobile, resulting in uncertainty as to whether and to what extent T-Mobile would continue its roaming relationship with us and the possibility that T-Mobile could expand its roaming relationships with other carriers in our areas of network coverage or could commence a build-out of certain areas covered by the existing roaming agreement, and the impact of such expansion or build-out on the financial condition of SunCom;

— the continuing evolution of the wireless telecommunications industry, including uncertainties and risks related to (1) governmental regulation of the industry, (2) our implementation of 3G technology and other new technology on our network, including the costs of such implementation, and the migration of our customers from existing technology to new technology, and (3) the substantial amount of capital necessary to remain competitive in the industry, including our ability to finance such capital requirements on favorable terms;

• our board of directors’ belief that the merger is more favorable to SunCom’s stockholders than the potential value that could be expected to be generated from the various other strategic alternatives available to SunCom, including the alternatives of remaining independent and pursuing the current strategic plan and/or undertaking various restructuring strategies, taking into account the potential risks and uncertainties associated with those alternatives;

• the historical trading prices of our Class A common stock, including the fact that the merger consideration of $27.00 per share represents a premium of approximately 23% over the closing price of shares of our Class A common stock on September 14, 2007, the last trading day before the announcement of the proposed merger and a premium of approximately 31% over the average closing price of shares of our Class A common stock over the one-month period ending on September 14, 2007;

• the financial presentation of Goldman Sachs, including its opinion dated September 16, 2007, to our board of directors indicating that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the $27.00 per share all-cash merger consideration to be received by holders of SunCom Class A common stock pursuant to the contemplated merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such holders, as more fully described below in ‘‘The Merger—Opinion of Goldman, Sachs & Co.’’ The full text of the opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Goldman Sachs in connection with its opinion, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B;

Table of Contents

• the fact that the merger consideration consists solely of cash and is not subject to any financing condition, providing SunCom stockholders with immediate liquidity and certainty of value for their shares of SunCom Class A common stock;

• the review by our board of directors, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, of the terms of the merger agreement, and the fact that these terms were the product of extensive negotiations in the context of a competitive auction process;

• the fact that, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, under certain limited circumstances, we are permitted to furnish non-public information to and conduct negotiations with third parties that make unsolicited acquisition proposals, as more fully described in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers’’;

• the fact that, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, we are permitted to terminate the merger agreement in order to approve an alternative transaction proposed by a third party that is a Superior Proposal (as defined in the merger agreement), upon the payment of a $48 million termination fee. In this regard, our board of directors considered that if our board of directors were to terminate the merger agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal, our stockholders that have executed the voting agreement (who collectively hold a majority of our outstanding Class A common stock) would be precluded from voting to approve the Superior Proposal for a ‘‘tail period’’ of seven-and-a-half months, and that the presence of such restriction could delay the completion of such a transaction or could discourage potential acquirors from submitting a Superior Proposal. However, our board of directors was also aware of the facts described in the third and fourth bullet points above;

• the likelihood that the merger will be completed, including the fact that the conditions to closing the merger are limited to approval by our stockholders, customary regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions; and the likelihood that the regulatory and stockholder approvals necessary to complete the merger will be obtained;

• the fact that funds managed by, and other entities affiliated with, Highland Capital Management, L.P. and Pardus Capital Management, L.P., which collectively hold a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock of SunCom, indicated that they were prepared to (1) support the merger and (2) execute a voting agreement with T-Mobile and Merger Sub pursuant to which such stockholders would agree to, among other things, vote their shares in favor of the merger and against any competing transaction;

• our board of directors’ understanding of T-Mobile’s financial position, including its ability to finance the purchase price without relying on the credit markets and other factors that might affect a financial sponsor’s or smaller strategic acquiror’s ability to complete a transaction with SunCom, and T-Mobile’s reputation and experience in executing and completing acquisitions.

Our board of directors also considered a variety of potential risks and other potentially negative factors relating to the merger, including the following, but found that these potential risks were outweighed by the positive factors described above and the expected benefits of the merger:

• the fact that the all-cash merger consideration would not allow our stockholders to participate in any future earnings or growth of our business or benefit from any appreciation in the value of SunCom;

• the fact that an all-cash transaction would be taxable to our stockholders that are U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• the contingencies to completion of the merger, including the risk that (1) the required regulatory approvals might not be received in the time frame contemplated by the merger agreement, (2) regulatory authorities might seek to impose terms or conditions in connection with granting such approvals that T-Mobile would not be required to accept under the terms of the merger agreement and (3) the other conditions to completing the merger might not be satisfied;

Table of Contents

• the impact of the announcement and pendency of the merger, including the impact of the merger on our employees and customers and our relationships with other third parties and the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters while working to complete the merger, all of which could impair our prospects as an independent company if the merger is not completed;

• the fact that, if our board of directors were to terminate the merger agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal, we would be required to pay to T-Mobile a termination fee of $48 million and our stockholders that have executed the voting agreement (who collectively represent a majority of the outstanding stock of SunCom) would be precluded from voting to approve that Superior Proposal or any other competing proposal for a ‘‘tail period’’ of seven-and-a-half months, and the possibility that these facts might discourage other parties that may otherwise have an interest in an acquisition of SunCom or another business combination involving SunCom from making a competing proposal. However, our board of directors (1) believes that the $48 million termination fee (which is within the range of termination fees provided in other transactions of this size and nature) and the voting agreement are reasonable in light of the comprehensive auction process undertaken by our board of directors, as well as the overall terms of the merger agreement and the expected benefits of the merger, and would not preclude another party from making a competing proposal, and (2) was aware of the matters described in the third and fourth bullet points in the discussion of positive factors above.

Our board of directors also considered the interests certain executive officers and directors of SunCom may have with respect to the merger in addition to their interests as stockholders generally, as described in the section below entitled ‘‘The Merger—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.’’

The foregoing discussion summarizes the material factors considered by our board of directors in its consideration of the merger. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by our board of directors, the amount of information considered and the complexity of these matters, our board of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not attempt to, rank, quantify, make specific assignments of, or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. In addition, individual members of our board of directors gave different weights to different factors. Our board of directors considered these factors as a whole, and in their totality considered them to be favorable to, and to support, its determination to approve the merger agreement and the merger.

Certain Projections

We do not as a matter of course make public projections as to future performance, earnings or other results beyond the current fiscal year, and we are especially wary of making projections for extended periods due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection with the due diligence review of SunCom by potential buyers, we provided to T-Mobile and to other potential buyers, as well as to Goldman Sachs in connection with its evaluation of the fairness of the merger consideration, non-public, internal financial forecasts regarding our anticipated future operations for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 fiscal years. We have included below a summary of these projections to give our stockholders access to certain non-public information that was furnished to third parties and was considered by our financial advisors and by our board for purposes of evaluating the merger. A summary of these internal financial forecasts is set forth below.

The internal financial forecasts were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor were they prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC, the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts, or generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the projections were not prepared with the assistance of, or reviewed, compiled or examined by, independent accountants. The financial projections do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles. The summary of these internal financial forecasts is not being included in this proxy

Table of Contents

statement to influence your decision whether to vote for the merger, but because these internal financial forecasts were provided by us to T-Mobile and to other potential buyers as well as to Goldman Sachs.

These internal financial forecasts were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of our management. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause the internal financial forecasts to not be achieved include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to our business (including our ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over applicable periods), industry performance, the regulatory environment, general business and economic conditions and other factors described under ‘‘Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information.’’ The internal financial forecasts also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. As a result, actual results may differ materially from those contained in these internal financial forecasts. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projections will be realized.

The inclusion of these internal financial forecasts in this proxy statement should not be regarded as an indication that any of SunCom, T-Mobile or their respective affiliates, advisors or representatives considered the internal financial forecasts to be predictive of actual future events, and the internal financial forecasts should not be relied upon as such. None of SunCom, T-Mobile or their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors, partners or representatives can give you any assurance that actual results will not differ from these internal financial forecasts, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile these internal financial forecasts to reflect circumstances existing after the date the internal financial forecasts were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error. Neither SunCom, nor, to our knowledge, T-Mobile, intends to make publicly available any update or other revision to these internal financial forecasts. None of SunCom or our respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors, partners or representatives has made or makes any representation to any stockholder or other person regarding our ultimate performance compared to the information contained in these internal financial forecasts or that forecasted results will be achieved. We have made no representation to T-Mobile, in the merger agreement or otherwise, concerning these internal financial forecasts.

SunCom management developed these internal financial forecasts based on actual year-to-date results (as of the date of the internal financial forecasts) and on the following significant assumptions:

• Gross add penetration rate was expected to remain constant at approximately 2.4% over the projection period, in line with 2006;

• Monthly customer churn was expected to increase from approximately 2.5% in 2007 to 2.7% in 2009, reflecting the higher churn profile of customers purchasing our prepay service;

• Average subscriber count was expected to increase by 5.3% annually, primarily as a result of a growing population in our markets as well as the growth of our prepay service offering;

• Average revenue per user (ARPU) was expected to decline by approximately 1.1% annually due to the introduction of lower ARPU prepay services, partially offset by additional revenues from features such as data and text messaging services;

• Roaming revenues were expected to increase significantly in 2007 due to higher traffic from our roaming partners, primarily driven by the growth in the subscriber base of T-Mobile; Roaming revenues were expected to grow at a 5.2% compound annual rate over the remainder of the forecast period partly driven by the increased coverage due to a planned cell site build;

• Overall expenses were expected to increase due to general cost inflation and the impact of subscriber changes on our variable operating costs, partially offset by cost-reducing initiatives;

• Cost of service, excluding handset expenses, was expected to increase as a result of our increasing subscriber base, partially offset by incollect cost savings due to a planned cell site build;

• General and administrative expenses were expected to decline due to cost-reducing initiatives, partially offset by increased expenses relating to higher average subscriber count;

• Selling and marketing expenses were expected to increase slightly, primarily driven by the magnitude of gross adds as well as retention efforts across a larger subscriber base; and

• Capital expenditures were expected to be approximately $70 million annually, plus an additional $36 million budgeted during each of 2007 and 2008 for a cell site build.

The financial projections excluded capital expenditures of approximately $250 million to $300 million over the forecast period related to a universal mobile telecommunications system, or UMTS, upgrade that could be required to remain competitive. Additionally, the financial projections did not address the competitive effects of T-Mobile’s recent purchase of spectrum in SunCom’s domestic markets and possible build-out of network in these markets by T-Mobile, potentially resulting in a loss of revenue, increased churn and reduced customer additions.

Subsequent to the preparation of the foregoing estimates, SunCom disclosed that since the beginning of the third quarter of 2007, SunCom has seen roaming volumes from T-Mobile, its largest roaming partner, decline. After discussions with T-Mobile in July 2007, SunCom estimated that this change will result in an approximate 25 percent decrease in roaming volumes, or approximately $5 million less roaming revenue, on a quarterly basis, as compared to the second quarter of 2007. SunCom then informed potential buyers that the foregoing Adjusted EBITDA estimates could be revised to the following:

Opinion of Goldman, Sachs & Co.

Goldman Sachs rendered its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed by delivery of its written opinion, dated September 16, 2007, to our board of directors that, as of September 16, 2007 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in the opinion, the $27.00 per share to be received by holders of shares of SunCom Class A common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated September 16, 2007, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken

Table of Contents

in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference. Goldman Sachs provided its opinion for the information and assistance of SunCom’s board of directors in connection with its consideration of the merger. Goldman Sachs’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of SunCom Class A common stock should vote with respect to the merger or any other matter.

In connection with rendering the opinion described above and performing its related financial analyses, Goldman Sachs reviewed, among other things:

• the merger agreement;

• annual reports to stockholders and annual reports on Form 10-K of SunCom for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 2006;

• certain interim reports to stockholders and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of SunCom;

• certain other communications from SunCom to its stockholders;

• certain publicly available research analyst reports for SunCom; and

• certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for SunCom prepared by SunCom’s management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by SunCom.

Goldman Sachs also has held discussions with members of the senior management of SunCom regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of SunCom. In addition, Goldman Sachs has reviewed the reported price and trading activity for SunCom Class A common stock, compared certain financial and stock market information for SunCom with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the wireless industry specifically and in other industries generally and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as Goldman Sachs considered appropriate.

For purposes of rendering its opinion, Goldman Sachs relied upon and assumed, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by it. Goldman Sachs assumed, with the consent of SunCom’s board of directors, that the internal financial forecasts prepared by the management of SunCom were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of SunCom. In addition, Goldman Sachs did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of SunCom or any of its subsidiaries, and it has not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Goldman Sachs’ opinion did not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters.

Goldman Sachs’ opinion did not address the underlying business decision of SunCom to engage in the merger, or the relative merits of the merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to SunCom. Goldman Sachs’ opinion was necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Goldman Sachs as of, September 16, 2007, and Goldman Sachs assumed no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after such date.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by Goldman Sachs to SunCom’s board of directors in connection with rendering the opinion described above. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Goldman Sachs, and is qualified by reference to the written opinion of Goldman Sachs attached as Annex B to this proxy statement. The order of analyses described does not represent the relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Goldman Sachs. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables must be read together with the full text of each summary and are alone not a complete description of Goldman Sachs’ financial analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before September 16, 2007 and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Historical Stock Trading Analysis

Goldman Sachs reviewed the historical trading prices and volumes for shares of SunCom Class A common stock for the one-year period ending September 14, 2007. In addition, Goldman Sachs analyzed the consideration to be received by holders of shares of SunCom Class A common stock pursuant to the merger agreement in relation to the latest twelve-month, six-month and one-month average market prices of shares of SunCom Class A common stock. Goldman Sachs also analyzed the consideration to be received by holders of shares of SunCom Class A common stock pursuant to the merger agreement in relation to the closing price of shares of SunCom Class A common stock on September 14, 2007, the last trading day before the announcement of the proposed merger, since July 13, 2007, the day on which shares of SunCom common stock resumed trading on the New York Stock Exchange, since May 16, 2007, the day on which the consummation of the debt-for-equity exchange was announced, and since February 1, 2007, the first trading day after the announcement of the debt-for-equity exchange agreement.

This analysis indicated that the consideration to be received by holders of shares of SunCom Class A common stock pursuant to the merger agreement represented:

• a premium of approximately 84% based on the average closing price of shares of SunCom Class A common stock over the twelve-month period ending September 14, 2007;

• a premium of approximately 44% based on the average closing price of shares of SunCom Class A common stock over the six-month period ending September 14, 2007;

• a premium of approximately 31% based on the average closing price of shares of SunCom Class A common stock over the one-month period ending September 14, 2007;

• a premium of approximately 23% based on the closing price of shares of SunCom Class A common stock on September 14, 2007, the last trading day before the announcement of the proposed merger;

• a premium of approximately 20% based on the average closing price of shares of SunCom Class A common stock from July 13, 2007, the day on which shares of SunCom Class A common stock resumed trading on the New York Stock Exchange, until September 14, 2007;

• a premium of approximately 34% based on the average closing price of shares of SunCom Class A common stock from May 16, 2007, the day on which the consummation of the exchange transaction was announced, until September 14, 2007; and

• a premium of approximately 54% based on the split-adjusted average closing price of shares of SunCom Class A common stock from February 1, 2007, the first trading day after the announcement of the January 31, 2007 exchange agreement, until September 14, 2007.

Selected Transactions Analysis

Goldman Sachs analyzed certain publicly available information and Wall Street research relating to the selected transactions listed below involving companies in the wireless industry:

• US Cellular Corporation / PrimeCo Wireless Communications LLC (acquisition of equity interest in Chicago 20MHz LLC) (May 2002)

• Alltel Corporation / CenturyTel, Inc. Wireless (March 2002)

For each of the selected transactions, Goldman Sachs calculated and compared the enterprise value of the target as a multiple of EBITDA over the twelve-month period prior to the merger, or LTM, and projected EBITDA for the first fiscal year following the merger, or FY1. As used in this description of Goldman Sachs’ financial analyses, EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. For each of the selected transactions, Goldman Sachs also calculated and compared the premium, defined as the difference between the price offered to the holders of the shares in the transaction compared to the average market price for the shares of the acquired company for the one-week period prior to the announcement of the transaction or the disclosure of a potential merger.

The following table sets forth the range, median and mean, of the above information for the selected transactions:

Enterprise Value/
EBITDA (LTM) Enterprise Value/
EBITDA (FY1) Premium to Market
(1 Week) Range 6.8 – 17.3x 7.4 – 12.5x (0.2%) – 33.0% Mean 11.4x 9.6x 15.4% Median 10.5x 9.6x 12.1%

Goldman Sachs also calculated selected multiples for SunCom based on the $27.00 to be paid for each share of SunCom Class A common stock and the selected transactions identified below. Goldman Sachs calculated an implied enterprise value for SunCom based on the implied equity value by adding the amount of SunCom’s net debt, as provided by SunCom’s management, to the equity value implied by the $27.00 to be paid for each share of SunCom Class A common stock. Estimates of future EBITDA for SunCom used by Goldman Sachs in this analysis were based on the internal financial forecasts prepared by the management of SunCom. Goldman Sachs calculated the enterprise value implied by the $27.00 to be paid for each share of SunCom Class A common stock as a multiple of estimated EBITDA for calendar year 2007 on a pro forma basis (including for full year of T-Mobile roaming loss) and for calendar years 2008 and 2009. Goldman Sachs also divided the multiple of estimated EBITDA for calendar year 2007 by the expected rate of growth for 2007 through 2009. Goldman Sachs compared each of these results against similar calculations for the selected transactions identified below.

Although none of the selected transactions or the companies party to the transactions is directly comparable to the merger or to SunCom or T-Mobile, Goldman Sachs chose the above transactions because they involve transactions that, for purposes of analysis, may be considered similar to the merger and/or involve publicly-traded companies with operations that, for purposes of analysis, may be considered similar to certain operations of SunCom or T-Mobile.

Selected Companies Analysis

Goldman Sachs reviewed certain financial information and public market multiples for the following publicly traded companies in the U.S. wireless industry:

Selected Publicly Traded National Carriers:

– Sprint Nextel Corp.

Selected Publicly Traded Regional Cellular Companies:

– Centennial Communications Corp.

– NTELOS Holdings Corp.

– United States Cellular Corporation

– Dobson Communications Corp.

– Rural Cellular Corp.

– Alltel Corporation

Selected Publicly-Traded Regional PCS Companies:

– IPCS Inc.

– Leap Wireless International, Inc.

– MetroPCS Communications Inc.

Goldman Sachs calculated the enterprise value as a multiple of estimated EBITDA for SunCom (based on the closing price of $22.00 per share of SunCom Class A common stock on September 14, 2007, the last trading day before the announcement of the proposed merger and using both the estimated EBITDA based on publicly available analyst research from Stanford Financial Group reviewed by Goldman Sachs and the estimated EBITDA based on the internal financial forecasts prepared by the management of SunCom) and for the selected publicly traded companies in the wireless industries listed above for calendar years 2007 and 2008. Although none of the selected companies is directly comparable to SunCom, Goldman Sachs chose the companies because they are publicly traded companies with operations that, for purposes of analysis, may be considered similar to certain operations of SunCom. The enterprise value to estimated EBITDA ratio for the selected companies used by Goldman Sachs in this analysis was based on publicly available financial statements and Wall Street research.

Goldman Sachs’ calculations of selected multiples for SunCom based on the $27.00 to be paid for each share of SunCom Class A common stock are set forth under ‘‘Opinion of Goldman, Sachs & Co.—Selected Transaction Analysis.’’

Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis using the internal financial forecasts prepared by the management of SunCom to determine indications of implied equity values per share of SunCom Class A common stock. In analyzing the internal financial forecasts prepared by the management of SunCom, Goldman Sachs applied discount rates ranging from 8.00% to 10.00%, reflecting estimates of the weighted average cost of capital of SunCom, and terminal EBITDA multiples ranging from 7.5x to 10.5x. This analysis resulted in a range of illustrative implied equity values per share of SunCom Class A common stock of $15.04 to $26.78.

Using the same internal financial forecasts prepared by the management of SunCom as in the illustrative discounted cash flow analysis and assuming a constant 9% weighted average cost of capital of SunCom and an 8.5x terminal EBITDA multiple, Goldman Sachs analyzed sensitivities to the discounted cash flow analysis to determine the effect of increases or decreases in the projected average revenue per user, or ARPU, for SunCom, amount of roaming minutes on SunCom’s network, monthly churn (defined as the number of terminations in a period divided by the average subscriber base in that period divided by the number of months in that period), and annual gross add penetration (defined as the percentage of the population in areas served by SunCom that become SunCom subscribers in a given year) on the implied equity value per share of SunCom common stock.

Goldman Sachs applied a range of changes in SunCom’s projected ARPU of a decrease of $2.00 to an increase of $2.00 and a range of the amount of roaming minutes on SunCom’s network of 25% to 125% of projected roaming minutes use to the illustrative equity value per share of SunCom Class A common stock implied in Goldman Sachs’ discounted cash flow analysis by a constant 9% weighted average cost of capital of SunCom and an 8.5x terminal EBITDA multiple. Based on the foregoing, Goldman Sachs derived illustrative implied equity values per share of SunCom Class A common stock ranging from $7.11 to $25.78.

Goldman Sachs also applied a range of changes in the projected SunCom monthly churn of an increase of 0.2% to a decrease of 0.2% and a range of changes in the projected SunCom annual gross add penetration of a decrease of 0.2% to an increase of 0.2% to the equity value per share of SunCom Class A common stock implied in Goldman Sachs’ discounted cash flow analysis by a constant 9% weighted average cost of capital of SunCom and an 8.5x terminal EBITDA multiple. Based on the foregoing, Goldman Sachs derived illustrative implied equity values per share of SunCom Class A common stock ranging from $15.32 to $22.96.

Miscellaneous

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Goldman Sachs’ opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Goldman Sachs considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Goldman Sachs made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to SunCom or the contemplated merger.

Table of Contents

Goldman Sachs prepared these analyses for the purpose of undertaking a study to enable Goldman Sachs to render its opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the holders of shares of SunCom Class A common stock of the $27.00 per share to be received by these stockholders pursuant to the merger agreement. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of SunCom, Goldman Sachs or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted.

The $27.00 per share merger consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of SunCom Class A common stock was determined through arm’s-length negotiations among SunCom, T-Mobile and Merger Sub and was approved by the SunCom board of directors. Goldman Sachs provided advice to SunCom during these negotiations. Goldman Sachs did not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration to SunCom or its board of directors or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the proposed merger.

As described above, Goldman Sachs’ opinion to SunCom’s board of directors was one of many factors taken into consideration by SunCom’s board of directors in making its decision to approve the merger. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Goldman Sachs in connection with its fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Goldman Sachs attached as Annex B.

Goldman Sachs and its affiliates are engaged in investment banking and financial advisory services, securities trading, investment management, principal investment, financial planning, benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing, brokerage activities and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. In the ordinary course of these activities and services, Goldman Sachs and its affiliates may at any time make or hold long or short positions and investments, as well as actively trade or effect transactions, in the equity, debt and other securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of SunCom, T-Mobile and any of their respective affiliates or any currency or commodity that is involved in the merger for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Goldman Sachs acted as financial advisor to SunCom in connection with, and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the merger. In addition, Goldman Sachs has provided certain investment banking and other financial services to SunCom and its affiliates from time to time. Goldman Sachs also has provided certain investment banking and other financial services to T-Mobile and its affiliates from time to time, including acting as co-advisor to Deutsche Telekom AG, the indirect parent company of T-Mobile, in connection with its tender offer to acquire the remaining shares of T-Online AG it did not already own in June 2006; and as co-manager with respect to Deutsche Telekom’s issuance of bonds (aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000) in October 2006. Goldman Sachs may provide investment banking and other financial services to SunCom, T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom and their respective affiliates in the future. In connection with the above-described services Goldman Sachs has received, and may receive, compensation. As of the date hereof, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs owns 2.4% of the outstanding shares of SunCom Class A common stock.

SunCom’s board of directors engaged Goldman Sachs because it is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the contemplated merger. Pursuant to an engagement letter between SunCom and Goldman Sachs, SunCom has agreed to pay Goldman Sachs a transaction fee of approximately 1.0% of the ‘‘aggregate consideration’’ to be paid in the transaction, or approximately $26 million. The ‘‘aggregate consideration’’ for purposes of determining the fee will be the total consideration paid for SunCom’s outstanding equity securities, plus the principal amount of all indebtedness for borrowed money as set forth on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of SunCom prior to the merger. A substantial portion of the transaction fee will become payable only if the merger is consummated. In addition, SunCom has agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs for its expenses, including attorney’s fees and disbursements, incurred in

connection with this engagement and to indemnify Goldman Sachs and related persons against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of our board of directors in favor of the merger, you should be aware that members of our board of directors and our executive officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, yours. All such additional interests are described below, to the extent material. Except as described below, such persons have, to our knowledge, no material interests in the merger apart from those of stockholders generally. Our board of directors was aware of, and considered the interests of, our directors and executive officers in approving the merger agreement and the merger. Please see ‘‘Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners, Directors and Executive Officers’’ for a discussion of the shares of our Class A common stock beneficially owned by our directors and executive officers.

Indemnification and Insurance

The merger agreement provides that all rights of exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of our and our subsidiaries’ current and former directors, officers or employees, as provided in our respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other similar constituent documents, or in any agreement in effect as of the date of the merger agreement, will be assumed by the surviving corporation of the merger, and will continue in full force and effect. T-Mobile agreed to cause the surviving corporation of the merger to comply with and honor these obligations. Accordingly, the merger agreement provides that, for six years after the effective time of the merger, the surviving corporation of the merger will (and T-Mobile will cause the surviving corporation of the merger to) maintain in effect such rights of exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses and not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such rights in any manner that would adversely affect any applicable individual. The merger agreement further provides that we shall obtain a six-year ‘‘tail’’ policy to our current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the merger covering those persons who were, as of the date of the merger agreement, covered by our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, on terms with respect to coverage and amounts no less favorable than those in effect on the date of the merger agreement, subject to certain maximum cost limitations, and that T-Mobile will maintain this policy after the effective time of the merger. See ‘‘The Merger Agreement —Indemnification and Insurance.’’

Restricted Shares

Pursuant to our director compensation policy and our equity incentive plan, we compensate our directors and employees, including our executive officers, with, among other things, grants of restricted shares of our Class A common stock, which are granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions. Under the terms of the merger agreement, all of the outstanding restricted shares of our Class A common stock will vest and become free of such restrictions immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $27.00 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the consummation of the merger (subject to certain limitations with respect to restricted shares issued after the date of the merger agreement, as described below and in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Restricted Shares’’).

Table of Contents

The following table shows the number of restricted shares of our Class A common stock held by our directors and executive officers as of November 1, 2007 that will vest upon the consummation of the merger and the value realized with respect to the vesting of such restricted shares on the basis of each share converting to the right to receive $27.00 in cash.

(1) Messrs. Samii and Thornton have waived their right to receive any director fees, including grants of restricted shares, in connection with their participation on our board of directors. (2) We make annual incentive grants of restricted stock to eligible employees, including our executive officers, and to our directors (other than Messrs. Samii and Thornton) in May of each year. Under the merger agreement, we are permitted to make an annual incentive grant on May 1, 2008, provided that only a pro-rata portion of these shares would be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, and the remaining unvested restricted shares would be forfeited. While we expect to close the merger in the second quarter of 2008, the latest date on which the merger may be consummated under the merger agreement is September 16, 2008. In order to demonstrate the maximum amounts that we currently believe could be received by our directors and executive officers (assuming that the parties do not agree to amend the merger agreement to extend the end date), we have assumed a closing date of September 16, 2008 to calculate the pro-rata vesting of each May 1, 2008 restricted share grant below and to calculate potential severance and termination payments beginning on page 30. We have further assumed that restricted share grants to Messrs. Kalogris and Haskell will vest in equal installments over 36 months and that restricted share grants to Mr. Robinson and Ms. Shaw-Porter will vest in equal installments over 48 months. Accordingly, if an annual incentive grant is issued on May 1, 2008 and assuming the merger closes on September 16, 2008, our executive officers would receive, in addition to the amounts described above, the following with respect to such May 1, 2008 grant of restricted stock:

Table of Contents

If an annual incentive grant is issued on May 1, 2008 to our directors, each of Messrs. Anderson, Chura, Daugherty, Elliott, Evans, Prilick and Volk would receive up to 1,500 restricted shares with a value realized on consummation of the merger of up to $11,927, assuming a 15½-month vesting schedule and the merger closing on September 16, 2008.

Sale Bonus Arrangements

In connection with the exchange transaction that closed in May 2007, we approved amendments to the employment agreements of Messrs. Kalogris, Haskell and Robinson to provide for, among other things, a bonus pool to be established and shared in the event of our sale, subject to certain conditions. On September 16, 2007, our board of directors approved further changes to the employment agreements for those individuals to, among other things, increase the amounts payable upon our sale. In addition, our board of directors approved additional sale bonuses to be paid to Mr. Burgos and Ms. Shaw-Porter and certain other management-level associates employed domestically and at our Puerto Rico operating subsidiary. The consummation of the merger will result in payments to our executive officers under these sale bonus arrangements. No sale bonuses will be paid under these arrangements, however, unless the merger is consummated by December 31, 2008.

Our executive officers must remain employed by us through the closing of the merger to receive a sale bonus, provided that, if an executive officer is terminated without cause, he or she will remain eligible to receive a sale bonus. In addition, during the period prior to the closing of the merger, our executive officers will be required to comply with the directions of our board of directors, comply with certain expense policies and refrain from seeking new employment or soliciting other employees for employment on behalf of any other person or entity. Payment of any sale bonus is based on the sale proceeds of the merger and is payable only upon receipt of the sale proceeds in connection with consummation of the merger.

The following table shows the sale bonus payable to each executive officer upon consummation of the merger, assuming aggregate sale proceeds (as defined in the sale bonus agreements) of $2.4 billion and satisfaction of all contingencies under his or her respective sale bonus agreement.

Potential Severance and Termination Payments

We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Kalogris, Haskell, Robinson and Burgos and a letter agreement with Ms. Shaw-Porter. The consummation of the merger may result in severance payments to these executive officers under their respective agreements if their employment is terminated.

Pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements, Messrs. Kalogris and Robinson will be eligible to receive the following severance benefits if their employment is terminated (1) by SunCom without cause (as defined), (2) by SunCom by notice of non-renewal, (3) by the executive for good reason (as defined) or (4) by reason of the executive’s death or disability:

Retention Bonuses

Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Burgos is entitled to receive a retention bonus if he is employed on a bonus payment date and his overall performance evaluation meets our minimum acceptable standards. Mr. Burgos will be entitled to receive any portion of his retention bonus not previously paid under the terms of his employment agreement in the event of the merger if (1) his employment with us is terminated in connection with the merger or prior to the one-year anniversary of the merger, (2) he declines employment or terminates employment prior to the one-year anniversary of the merger because his offer of employment or continuation of employment is in a position that is not substantially similar to his position prior to the merger or his position is located more than 30 miles from his principal business office prior to the merger, or (3) he remains in employment with us for the one-year period immediately following the merger. Based upon information available as of the date of this proxy statement, the retention bonus amount that Mr. Burgos would be entitled to receive is $40,000 in August 2008 and $40,000 in August 2009 for an aggregate of $80,000 remaining to be paid under the terms of his employment agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of her letter agreement, Ms. Shaw-Porter is entitled to receive a retention bonus equal to 25% of her salary at the time the retention bonus is paid if she remains employed by SunCom. Payment is made in two installments, the first installment having been paid in June 2007 and the second installment to be paid on or before December 28, 2007. Based upon information available as of the date of this proxy statement, the amount of Ms. Shaw-Porter’s second installment payment would be $31,800, provided she is employed by us on the payment date.

Operations Committee Compensation

The board of directors formed an operations committee to develop with management a long-range operating plan for SunCom and to oversee operations generally. The board of directors approved compensation for operations committee service by its members of $450 per hour. Gustavo A. Prilick and James J. Volk are members of the operations committee, and it is contemplated that Messrs. Prilick and Volk will perform substantially, if not all, of the work of the operations committee. The board of directors also approved $700,000 to be paid to Messrs. Prilick and Volk, in the aggregate, in connection with their operations committee service upon the consummation of the merger and to be apportioned between Mr. Prilick and Mr. Volk relative to their respective contributions to the work of the operations committee.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders (as defined below) of our Class A common stock whose shares are exchanged for cash in the merger. We base this summary on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (which we refer to in this section as the Code), applicable current and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, judicial authority, and administrative rulings and practice, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. Any such changes could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth in this proxy statement.

Table of Contents

For purposes of this summary, we use the term ‘‘U.S. holder’’ to mean a beneficial owner of Class A common stock that is:

• a citizen or individual resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States, or the District of Columbia;

• a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source.

A ‘‘non-U.S. holder’’ is any beneficial owner of our Class A common stock who is not a U.S. holder, as defined above, or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such entity will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding shares of our Class A common stock, you should consult your tax advisor.

This discussion assumes that a U.S. holder holds the shares of Class A common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax that may be relevant to a U.S. holder in light of its particular circumstances, or that may apply to a U.S. holder that is subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including, for example, insurance companies, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, mutual funds, United States expatriates, pass-through entities and investors in such entities, holders who hold shares of our Class A common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, or conversion transaction, holders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, holders who acquired their shares of our Class A common stock upon the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, or holders who acquired their shares of our Class A common stock in exchange for debt). This discussion does not address the tax consequences to any person who actually or constructively owns 5% or more of our Class A common stock. In addition, the discussion does not address any tax considerations under state, local or foreign laws or U.S. federal laws other than those pertaining to the federal income tax that may apply to U.S. holders. All holders, including non-U.S. holders, should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or foreign income and other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for our Class A common stock pursuant to the merger.

The receipt of cash in exchange for shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder who receives cash in exchange for shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the merger will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the amount of cash received and (2) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of our Class A common stock surrendered in exchange therefor. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for the shares of our Class A common stock exceeds one year as of the date of the merger. Long-term capital gain of an individual generally is subject to a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 15%. Certain limitations apply to the use of capital losses. If a U.S. holder acquired different blocks of our stock at different times or different prices, such U.S. holder must determine its tax basis and holding period separately with respect to each block of our stock, and, generally, realized gain or loss must be calculated separately with respect to each identifiable block of shares.

Table of Contents

Under the Code, a U.S. holder of Class A common stock may be subject, under certain circumstances, to information reporting on the cash received in the merger unless such U.S. holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient. Backup withholding may also apply (currently at a rate of 28%) with respect to the amount of cash received by a U.S. holder in the merger, unless such U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that such U.S. holder furnishes the required information to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner.

Regulatory Approvals

Antitrust Clearance

Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which we refer to as the HSR Act, the merger may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the filing of notification and report forms with the Federal Trade Commission, which we refer to as the FTC, and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, which we refer to as the Antitrust Division, by SunCom and T-Mobile, unless a request for additional information and documentary material is received from the FTC or the Antitrust Division (in which case the waiting period will be extended until 30 days after such additional information and documentary material is provided) or unless early termination of the waiting period is granted. SunCom filed its notification and report form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division under the HSR Act on October 5, 2007. T-Mobile filed its notification and report form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division under the HSR Act on October 17, 2007. On October 26, 2007, SunCom and T-Mobile received notification from the FTC that the merger was granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

The Antitrust Division and the FTC frequently scrutinize the legality under the antitrust laws of transactions such as the merger. At any time before or after the merger, the Antitrust Division, the FTC or a state attorney general could take action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the merger or seeking divestiture of substantial assets of SunCom or T-Mobile or their subsidiaries and affiliates. Private parties may also bring legal actions under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances.

FCC Approval

Under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, SunCom and T-Mobile are required to obtain the approval of the Federal Communications Commission, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the FCC, prior to the transfer of control of SunCom’s FCC licenses and other authorizations that will result from the merger. On October 1, 2007, SunCom and T-Mobile filed applications for FCC consent to the transfer of control of licenses and authorizations held by SunCom’s subsidiaries. Applications for FCC consent are subject to petitions to deny and comments from third parties. In addition, the FCC will refer the applications to an interagency committee of representatives from the national security agencies known as ‘‘Team Telecom,’’ which will review the applications for possible national security implications. If requested by Team Telecom, the FCC will condition its approval of the merger on T-Mobile’s agreement to subject the operation of the SunCom network to a national security agreement, such as the agreement that already covers T-Mobile’s existing operations. On October 23, 2007, the FCC placed the application on public notice and invited interested parties to file comments or petitions to deny by November 23, 2007. SunCom expects that the FCC will complete its action on the applications within 180 days after public notice of the applications although no law or regulation requires the FCC to do so within that time period.

Table of Contents

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following describes the material provisions of the merger agreement, but is not intended to be an exhaustive discussion of the merger agreement. We encourage you to read the merger agreement carefully in its entirety, as the rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the express terms of the merger agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement.

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

The merger agreement has been attached to provide our stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about us. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement are made solely for the benefit of the parties and are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure letter provided by us to T-Mobile in connection with the signing of the merger agreement. The disclosure letter contains information that has been included in our prior public filings, as well as potential additional non-public information. This disclosure letter contains information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the merger agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the merger agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between us, on the one hand, and T-Mobile and Merger Sub, on the other hand, rather than establishing matters as fact. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the merger agreement should not be relied upon by any persons as indicative of the actual state of facts about us, T-Mobile or Merger Sub at the time they were made or otherwise. In addition, the information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the merger agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures.

Structure; Effective Time; Certain Effects of the Merger

At the effective time of the merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into SunCom, with SunCom surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. The merger will be effective when we file the certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or a later time if mutually agreed by Merger Sub and SunCom and provided in the certificate of merger) on the closing date of the merger. The closing date of the merger will occur on the third business day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the merger set forth in the merger agreement (or such other date as T-Mobile and SunCom may agree), which are described below in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Merger,’’ except if the date on which such three-business-day period expires is prior to April 15, 2008, then the parties are not required to close the merger until April 15, 2008.

Following completion of the merger, we will be a privately held corporation and SunCom Class A common stock will no longer be publicly traded. Our current stockholders will cease to have any ownership interest in SunCom or rights as SunCom stockholders, will not participate in any future earnings or growth of SunCom and will not benefit from any appreciation in value of SunCom.

Merger Consideration

Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, each share of SunCom Class A common stock (excluding any shares held immediately prior to the effective time of the merger by T-Mobile, Merger Sub, or held by SunCom, as treasury stock or otherwise, any shares held by stockholders, if any, who have perfected their appraisal rights, and certain restricted shares, the treatment of which is described below) will be converted at the effective time of the merger into the right to receive $27.00 per share, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Treatment of Restricted Shares

As of the record date, there were approximately 221,833 shares of our Class A common stock represented by restricted shares, granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions pursuant to our

equity incentive plans. Under the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each restricted share will become immediately vested and free of restrictions and will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $27.00 in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes (provided that only a pro rata portion of restricted shares issued after the date of merger agreement, based on the number of months elapsed from the grant until the closing of the merger, would be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, and the remaining unvested restricted shares would be forfeited).

Exchange and Payment Procedures

At or prior to the effective time of the merger, T-Mobile will appoint a bank or trust company that has been approved in advance by SunCom to act as the paying agent for the payment of the merger consideration in exchange for all shares of our Class A common stock, including the restricted shares. At or prior to the effective time of the merger, T-Mobile will deposit, or will cause to be deposited, with the paying agent, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate merger consideration. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within five business days following the effective time of the merger, the paying agent will mail to each holder of record of shares of our Class A common stock a letter of transmittal and instructions explaining how to surrender common stock certificates or shares represented by book entry in exchange for the merger consideration. Upon surrender of a certificate or book-entry share to the paying agent for cancellation, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal and any other documents that the paying agent may reasonably require, the holder of such certificate or book-entry share will be entitled to receive the merger consideration in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. The paying agent, the surviving corporation in the merger or T-Mobile will be entitled to deduct, withhold and pay to the appropriate taxing authorities any applicable taxes from the merger consideration. Any sum that is withheld and paid to a taxing authority by the paying agent will be deemed to have been paid to the person with regard to whom it is withheld.

These procedures will be described in the letter of transmittal that you will receive, which you should read carefully in its entirety. You should not return your stock certificates with the enclosed proxy card, and you should not forward your stock certificates to the paying agent without a letter of transmittal.

Representations and Warranties

The merger agreement contains representations and warranties made by the parties solely for their mutual benefit. In particular, the assertions embodied in these representations and warranties have been made for the purpose of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate, rather than for the purpose of establishing matters as facts, and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the merger agreement. Moreover, these representations and warranties have been qualified by certain disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the merger agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the merger agreement. In general, standards of materiality or material adverse effect (defined below) may apply under the merger agreement in a way that is different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders. The representations and warranties were made only as of the date of the merger agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the merger agreement and are subject to more recent developments. Accordingly, these representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time. Furthermore, the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement will not survive the consummation of the merger and cannot be the basis for any claims under the merger agreement by the other parties after termination of the merger agreement. The representations and warranties in the merger agreement and the description of them in this proxy statement should be read in conjunction with the other information contained in the reports, statements and other filings of SunCom with the SEC. The representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement may or may not have been accurate as of the date they were made and we make no assertion in this proxy statement that they are accurate as of the date of this proxy statement.

• any failure by us to meet our projections or forecasts (provided that the facts and circumstances giving rise or contributing to such an event may constitute or be taken into account in determining the occurrence of a material adverse effect);

• any litigation relating to the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; or

• the accuracy of information supplied by T-Mobile and Merger Sub specifically for inclusion in this proxy statement; and

• brokers’ and finders’ fees;

Some of the representations and warranties of T-Mobile and Merger Sub are qualified so that they will not be deemed untrue or incorrect by virtue of the existence or absence of any fact, circumstance or event unless such fact, circumstance or event, individually or when taken together with all other facts, circumstances or events covered by the representation or warranty in question, would reasonably be expected to prevent, render illegal, or delay beyond the end date (including any extension) or materially impair the ability of T-Mobile or Merger Sub to consummate the merger (including delivery of the aggregate merger consideration) and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

The representations and warranties of each of the parties to the merger agreement will expire upon the completion of the merger.

• except as required by law or any regulatory authority, enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement or take any action that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, render illegal, delay beyond the end date (including any extension) or materially impair our ability to consummate the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

In addition, except as required by applicable laws or as contemplated or permitted by the merger agreement, T-Mobile and Merger Sub agreed that they will not, and T-Mobile will cause its subsidiaries not to, from the date of the merger agreement to the effective time of the merger or, if applicable, the termination of the merger agreement, enter into any agreement for the acquisition of any business, person or assets, or take any other action or fail to take an action, that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, render illegal, or delay beyond the end date (including any extension) or to materially impair the ability of T-Mobile or Merger Sub to consummate the merger (including delivery of the aggregate merger consideration) and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

The merger agreement also provides that SunCom and T-Mobile will promptly notify each other of any event that would likely cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the merger not to be satisfied, or any event that would likely cause a material adverse effect on SunCom (or a

Table of Contents

material adverse effect on the ability of SunCom to perform its obligations under the merger agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement prior to the end date (including any extension), or any event that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, render illegal, delay beyond the end date (including any extension) or to materially impair the ability of T-Mobile or Merger Sub to consummate the merger (including delivery of the aggregate merger consideration) and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Stockholders’ Meeting

The merger agreement requires us, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to call and hold a meeting of our stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the stockholder approval for the merger, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Except in certain circumstances described below in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Change of Recommendation; Alternative Proposals and Superior Proposals,’’ we are required to include our board of directors’ recommendation in favor of the merger in the proxy statement and to use reasonable best efforts to solicit from our stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement.

Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers

Subject to the provisions described in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Change of Recommendation; Alternative Proposals and Superior Proposals,’’ we agreed that we will not, and we will cause our subsidiaries (or any of our or our subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees, advisors and other representatives) not to:

• initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to, or the making or completion of, any Alternative Proposal (as defined below) or any inquiry, proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to an Alternative Proposal;

• engage or participate in any negotiations regarding, or provide or cause to be provided any non-public information or data relating to SunCom or any of our subsidiaries in connection with, or have any discussions with any person relating to, or that is reasonably likely to lead to, an actual or proposed Alternative Proposal, or otherwise knowingly encourage or facilitate any effort or attempt to make, implement or solicit an Alternative Proposal;

• approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any Alternative Proposal;

• enter into, or approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly announce an intention to enter into, or approve, endorse or recommend, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Alternative Proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring SunCom to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement or to breach its obligations under the merger agreement; or

• agree to do any of the above.

In addition, we agreed to cease and cause to be ceased any existing solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any person (other than T-Mobile and Merger Sub) that has made or indicated an intention to make an Alternative Proposal.

‘‘Alternative Proposal’’ means, other than the merger:

• any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person or group of persons, other than T-Mobile or one of its subsidiaries, for a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation, or similar transaction involving SunCom (or any of our subsidiary or subsidiaries whose business constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of SunCom and our subsidiaries, taken as a whole);

Table of Contents

• any proposal for the issuance by SunCom of over 20% of our equity securities; or

• any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, over 20% of the equity securities or consolidated total assets of SunCom and our subsidiaries.

Change of Recommendation; Alternative Proposals and Superior Proposals

Our board of directors may withdraw, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, qualify or modify its recommendation that stockholders adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger (which we refer to in this proxy statement as a change of recommendation) if it determines that the failure to effect a change of recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the board of directors under applicable laws; provided that, prior to effecting a change of recommendation, (1) SunCom has given T-Mobile four business-days’ prior written notice of its intention to effect a change of recommendation, (2) SunCom has made its financial and legal advisors reasonably available to negotiate with T-Mobile in good faith during such four-business-day period (to the extent T-Mobile desires to negotiate), (3) the board of directors has considered in good faith any changes to the merger agreement committed to in writing by T-Mobile and has not determined that a change of recommendation is no longer necessary if such changes were to be given effect, and (4) we have complied in all material respects with our non-solicitation obligations in the merger agreement. Unless the merger agreement has been terminated prior to the meeting of stockholders, we are required to submit the merger agreement to a vote of stockholders even if our board of directors effects a change of recommendation.

Prior to stockholder adoption of the merger agreement, in response to an Alternative Proposal that has not resulted from a breach by us or our representatives of our non-solicitation obligations in the merger agreement, and that our board of directors believes in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors, that such Alternative Proposal is a Superior Proposal (as defined below) or may reasonably be expected to lead to the receipt of a Superior Proposal, we may furnish non-public information with respect to SunCom and our subsidiaries to the person making such Alternative Proposal and participate in discussions or negotiations with such person and its representatives regarding such Alternative Proposal, so long as:

• the board of directors determines, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law;

• we enter into a confidentiality agreement with such person that contains confidentiality provisions no less restrictive of and no more favorable to the person making the Alternative Proposal than our confidentiality agreement with T-Mobile; and

• we promptly provide or make available to T-Mobile any non-public information concerning SunCom or any of our subsidiaries that is provided to the person making the Alternative Proposal or its representatives which was not previously provided or made available to T-Mobile.

We agreed to promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) notify T-Mobile of (1) any Alternative Proposal or indication or inquiry with respect to or that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Alternative Proposal, (2) any request for non-public information relating to SunCom or our subsidiaries, other than requests for information not reasonably expected to be related to or lead to an Alternative Proposal, and (3) any inquiry or request for discussion or negotiation regarding, or that would reasonably be expected to result in, an Alternative Proposal. In each case, we agreed to notify T-Mobile of the identity of the person making any Alternative Proposal or indication or inquiry and the material terms of any Alternative Proposal or indication or inquiry. We also agreed to keep T-Mobile reasonably informed on a reasonably prompt basis of any material change to the terms of any Alternative Proposal or indication or inquiry.

In addition, if, prior to stockholder adoption of the merger agreement, we receive a bona fide written Alternative Proposal that our board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below) after giving effect to all adjustments to the terms of the merger agreement which may be

Table of Contents

offered by T-Mobile, then our board of directors may, if it determines that not doing so would be inconsistent with the its fiduciary duties under Delaware law, terminate the merger agreement for the purpose of entering into a definitive acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (as defined below), so long as:

• we have given T-Mobile four business-days’ prior written notice of our intention to terminate the merger agreement for the purpose of entering into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal;

• we have made our financial and legal advisors reasonably available to negotiate with T-Mobile in good faith during such four-business-day period (to the extent T-Mobile desires to negotiate);

• our board of directors has considered in good faith any changes to the merger agreement committed to in writing by T-Mobile and has not determined that the Superior Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes were to be given effect;

• we have complied in all material respects with our obligations as described in this section; and

• we pay to T-Mobile, concurrently with any termination, the required termination fee described in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Fees and Expenses.’’

‘‘Superior Proposal’’ means any bona fide Alternative Proposal (which, for the purposes of the definition of ‘‘Superior Proposal,’’ the references to ‘‘20%’’ in the definition of Alternative Proposal are deemed to be references to ‘‘50%’’) made in writing (1) on terms which our board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, to be more favorable from a financial point of view to our stockholders than the merger, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and the merger agreement (including any changes to the terms of the merger agreement committed to by T-Mobile in good faith in response to such proposal or otherwise) and (2) that our board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal, including the financing terms.

Employee Benefits

From and after the effective time of the merger, T-Mobile agreed to honor all existing employee benefit plans and other employment or compensation arrangements and agreements in accordance with their terms (including amendment and termination). In addition, for a period of one year following the effective time of the merger, T-Mobile will provide SunCom’s employees the same base salaries as we provided to such employees immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, and employee benefits that are, in the aggregate, not less favorable than those provided by T-Mobile to similarly-situated employees of T-Mobile.

With respect to SunCom’s employees’ bonus opportunities, T-Mobile agreed to continue through December 31, 2008 the annual incentive bonus opportunities for our employees at the same level as that of the bonus period in which the effective time of the merger occurs. T-Mobile also agreed to maintain in effect SunCom’s flexible spending benefit plan until December 31, 2008.

For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits (but not benefit accrual under defined benefit pension or similar plans) under T-Mobile’s employee benefit plans providing benefits to any SunCom employees after the effective time of the merger, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the New T-Mobile Plans, the parties agreed that each SunCom employee will be credited with his or her years of service with SunCom through the effective time of the merger, to the same extent as such SunCom employee was entitled, as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, to credit for such service under any similar SunCom benefit plans. In addition, each SunCom employee will be immediately eligible to participate in any and all New T-Mobile Plans to the extent coverage under such New T-Mobile Plan replaces coverage under a comparable SunCom employee benefit plan or compensation arrangement or agreements. For purposes of each New

Table of Contents

T-Mobile Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits, T-Mobile agreed to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New T-Mobile Plan to be waived for SunCom employees and their covered dependents (unless such conditions had not been waived under the comparable SunCom plans), and T-Mobile has agreed to cause any eligible expenses incurred by SunCom employees and their covered dependents under the corresponding SunCom benefit plans to be taken into account under the New T-Mobile Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New T-Mobile Plan.

For a period of one year following the effective time of the merger, T-Mobile agreed to continue and to honor SunCom’s existing severance programs and policies without any amendments adverse to SunCom employees. In the event that T-Mobile’s severance policy generally applicable to its similarly-situated employees who commenced employment during the five-year period preceding the effective time of the merger would provide more favorable benefits to a SunCom employee than SunCom’s severance program, then such SunCom employee will be eligible to receive benefits under T-Mobile’s severance policy. In addition, the parties agreed, in the event of a ‘‘constructive discharge’’ within one year following the effective time of the merger, a SunCom employee will be eligible to receive severance benefits under SunCom’s severance program or T-Mobile’s severance policy, as applicable, to the same extent as if such employee had been involuntarily terminated without cause. A ‘‘constructive discharge’’ is defined as a material diminution in the essential functions of an employee’s job as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, or a relocation of the employee’s primary workplace to a location more than 50 miles from such employee’s primary workplace as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

None of the foregoing undertakings will be construed or interpreted to (1) amend any SunCom employee benefit plan, (2) prevent the amendment or termination of any SunCom employee benefit plan, (3) interfere with T-Mobile’s right or obligation to make changes to any SunCom employee benefit plan as are necessary to conform with applicable laws, or (4) alter the at-will employment status of any SunCom employee or limit the right of T-Mobile or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any SunCom employee at any time or require T-Mobile or any of its subsidiaries to provide any employee benefits, rates of base salary or hourly wage or annual bonus opportunities for any period following any such termination after complying with T-Mobile’s obligations as described above.

Puerto Rico Switch

We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts either to (1) relocate the switch equipment used by our subsidiaries in Puerto Rico to another appropriate location, or (2) extend the current lease relating to the property at which such equipment is located, in each case, prior to the effective time of the merger, without any material disruption to our Puerto Rico business and operations and pursuant to a commercially reasonable lease with a term that does not expire before the first anniversary of the effective time of the merger (notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agreed and acknowledged that our compliance with the obligations described in this section will not be a condition to any party’s obligation to effect the merger unless the failure of compliance has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on SunCom).

Site Build-Out

We agreed to commence the identification of appropriate locations for the remaining cell sites that are contemplated to be built pursuant to our network improvement plan and for which locations have not been identified; to use commercially reasonable efforts to procure appropriate cell sites and obtain all necessary zoning and building permits for the build-out of the cell sites contemplated by our network improvement plan and to develop and approve the budget related to such build-out; to use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake the build-out of such cell sites in a timely manner, to provide, upon the reasonable request of T-Mobile, reasonably detailed updates to T-Mobile of the

Table of Contents

progress of our network improvement plan (notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in the merger agreement, the parties agreed and acknowledged that neither the obtaining of any zoning or building permits nor the build-out of all, any or any portion of the cell sites contemplated by the network improvement plan nor the achievement of any progress milestones relating to the network improvement plan will be a condition to any party’s obligation to effect the merger).

700 MHz Auction

We acknowledged that T-Mobile is currently considering its participation, and may decide to participate, in FCC Auction No. 73 (700 MHz band), which we refer to in this proxy statement as Auction 73. If both T-Mobile and SunCom elect to participate in Auction 73, or if SunCom elects to participate and T-Mobile elects not to participate in Auction 73, then the parties agreed to endeavor and cooperate in good faith (including by preparing a joint bidding agreement, if both T-Mobile and SunCom elect to participate) to enable the closing to occur without delay and prior to the end of Auction 73. SunCom agreed that if T-Mobile reasonably believes, based on advice of counsel, that the proposed cooperation will not render any risk of delay of the closing reasonably unlikely, then SunCom will not file a short form application to participate in Auction 73.

Treatment of Existing Indebtedness

Debt Offers and Redemptions. If requested by T-Mobile, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to commence an offer to purchase all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 8½% Senior Notes due 2013, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the Senior Notes, and to solicit the consent of the holders of the Senior Notes to certain amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Notes on the terms and conditions specified by T-Mobile. We are not required to take any such action, however, until T-Mobile provides us with the necessary offer to purchase, letter of transmittal, and other related documents. In addition, prior to the effective time of the merger, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries will be required to make any cash expenditures or take any action that could obligate us or any of our subsidiaries to repurchase any Senior Notes or incur any additional obligations to the holders of the Senior Notes prior to the consummation of the debt offer. The terms and conditions specified by T-Mobile for the debt offer will be those as are customarily included in offers to purchase debt securities similar to the Senior Notes and otherwise in compliance with applicable laws. The closing of the debt offer and consent solicitation will be expressly conditioned on the completion of the merger and conducted in compliance with applicable laws. We are not required to purchase any Senior Notes prior to the effective time of the merger. If reasonably requested by T-Mobile, we agreed that we will waive certain of the conditions to the debt offer and will not, without the written consent of T-Mobile, waive any other conditions or make any changes to the debt offer except if agreed between T-Mobile and us. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries will be required to make any changes that decrease the price per note payable in the debt offer or related consent solicitation or impose conditions that are adverse to the holders of the Senior Notes, unless previously approved by us.

In lieu of a debt offer, if requested by T-Mobile and if permitted by the indenture, we agreed, at any time after April 15, 2008, to redeem, satisfy, discharge or defease, as applicable, the Senior Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) in no event will we be required to consummate the debt redemption, provide any irrevocable notice of the debt redemption or take any other irrevocable act regarding the debt redemption prior to the effective time of the merger, (2) to the extent that the redemption, satisfaction, discharge or defeasance can be conditioned on the occurrence of the effective time of the merger, it will be so conditioned, (3) prior to our being required to redeem, satisfy, discharge or defease the Senior Notes, which redemption, satisfaction, discharge or defeasance cannot be conditioned on the occurrence of the effective time of the merger, as of the closing, T-Mobile will set aside sufficient funds to deliver to us to effect such redemption or satisfaction or discharge, (4) prior to us being required to satisfy, discharge or defease the Senior Notes, T-Mobile will deliver to us or a paying agent identified by us sufficient funds to effect such redemption or satisfaction or discharge, and (5) any opinion of counsel required to be given under the indenture governing the Senior Notes in connection with the debt redemption will be given by counsel to the surviving

Table of Contents

corporation. The parties agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to provide cooperation and assistance reasonably requested by the other in connection with the debt redemption.

Termination of Certain Other Indebtedness. On the closing date, subject to T-Mobile making available the necessary funds to do so, we agreed to use reasonable efforts to (1) repay all outstanding amounts under and terminate our existing term loan agreement, or any other credit facility or instrument of indebtedness that by its terms is prepayable or repayable at such time, specified by T-Mobile to us no later than three days prior to closing, and (2) to the extent the related facility is terminated, we agreed to cause to be released, to the extent we or our subsidiaries have the right to do so, any liens on our assets relating to those facilities or instruments of indebtedness.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in the merger agreement, the parties agreed and acknowledged that our compliance with the obligations described in this section will not be a condition to any party’s obligation to effect the merger.

Indemnification and Insurance

T-Mobile and Merger Sub agreed that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees of SunCom or its subsidiaries as provided in our organizational documents or in any agreement will survive the consummation of the merger and continue in full force and effect.

In addition, the surviving corporation in the merger will for a period of six years from the effective time of the merger maintain in effect:

• the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions in our and any of our subsidiaries’ organizational documents as in effect immediately prior to the completion of the merger or in any of our or our subsidiaries’ indemnification agreements with any of our respective directors, officers or employees; and

• a tail policy to the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained at the time of signing of the merger agreement by us, providing substantially the same coverage, amount, terms and conditions as the current policy, provided that in no event shall we expend for such tail policy an aggregate amount in excess of 350% of the annual premium paid at the time of execution of the merger agreement under the current policy.

The surviving corporation will also, after the completion of the merger and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement expenses to, all of our and our subsidiaries’ past and present directors and officers and certain other indemnified persons in their capacities as such against all costs, expenses, judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation relating to any such person’s service prior to or at the effective time of the merger, subject to certain conditions.

Agreement to Take Further Action and to Use All Reasonable Best Efforts

Each of the parties agreed to use reasonable best efforts to take promptly all actions and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to consummate and make effective the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The parties agreed to:

• obtain all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, approvals, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods, including the required regulatory approvals (see ‘‘The Merger—Regulatory Approvals’’), from all applicable governmental or regulatory authorities, make all necessary registrations and filings and take all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval, clearance or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any governmental or regulatory authority and, unless each of the parties agrees that no such clearance is necessary or advisable, clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which we refer to as CFIUS, under the Exon-Florio Amendment to the Defense Production Act of 1950, which we refer to as the Exon-Florio Amendment.

Table of Contents

• obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties;

• defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings challenging the merger agreement or the consummation of the merger; and

• execute and deliver any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Neither party will take any action that is intended or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the merger as described in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Merger’’ not being satisfied or the satisfaction of those conditions being materially delayed.

The parties agreed to:

• as promptly as reasonably practicable, file any and all required notification and report forms under the HSR Act with respect to the merger and thereafter make any other required submission under the HSR Act as promptly as reasonably practicable, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period;

• promptly, but no later than 15 days after the date of the merger agreement, file all initial applications required to be filed with the FCC, which were filed on October 1, 2007;

• use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other in (1) determining whether any filings are required to be made with, or consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are required to be obtained from, any third parties or governmental or regulatory authority and (2) timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, permits, authorizations or approvals;

• supply to any governmental or regulatory authority as promptly as practicable any additional information or documents that may be requested; and

• use reasonable best efforts to take all other actions and do all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the merger, including (1) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any material assets or businesses of SunCom or our subsidiaries or controlled affiliates or of T-Mobile or its subsidiaries and (2) otherwise taking or committing to take any actions that after the closing date would limit the freedom of action of the parties (or their subsidiaries or controlled affiliates) with respect to one or more of their businesses, product lines or assets, in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction or order which would otherwise prevent the merger or delay the merger beyond the end date (including any extension).

SunCom and T-Mobile agreed to keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and to cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use our and their reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any action or proceeding that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the merger.

Other Covenants and Agreements

The merger agreement contains other agreements relating to, among others:

• providing T-Mobile, Merger Sub and their representatives access to our offices, personnel, properties, books, records and documents, subject to certain limitations;

• coordinating press releases and other public statements about the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;

• actions necessary to exempt the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and related agreements from the effect of any takeover statutes;

• actions necessary to exempt dispositions of equity securities by our directors and officers pursuant to the merger under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

Table of Contents

• providing T-Mobile the opportunity to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against us or any of our directors or officers relating to the merger, subject to a customary joint defense agreement;

• our obligation to obtain T-Mobile’s consent to settle or agree to settle any stockholder litigation against us or any of our directors or officers relating to the merger; and

• our agreement to obtain a waiver from each of Highland Capital Management, L.P., Pardus Capital Management L.P. and DiMaio Ahmad Capital LLC waiving, effective as of the effective time of the merger, its right to designate any person for election to, or to fill any vacancy on, our board of directors, which waivers were obtained in September of 2007.

Conditions to the Merger

The obligations of the parties to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following mutual closing conditions:

• Stockholder Approval. The merger agreement must be duly adopted by our stockholders. The adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

• No Injunctions or Restraints. No court of competent jurisdiction has enacted, issued or entered any restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, stay, decree or other judgment or order that remains in effect that enjoins or otherwise prohibits consummation of the merger. No governmental or regulatory authority of the U.S. federal government has commenced and not withdrawn any claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, mediation or investigation seeking to enjoin, restrain or otherwise prohibit any of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

• Regulatory Approvals. Any waiting period applicable to the consummation of the merger under the HSR Act has expired or been terminated. On October 26, 2007, SunCom and T-Mobile received notification from the FTC that the merger was granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

All approvals and authorizations required to be obtained from the FCC for the transfer of control of the FCC licenses in connection with the merger have been obtained (except for those that in the aggregate are immaterial and have not been denied by the FCC). On October 1, 2007, SunCom and T-Mobile filed applications for FCC consent to the transfer of control of licenses and authorizations held by SunCom’s subsidiaries. SunCom expects that the FCC will complete its action on the applications within 180 days after public notice of the applications, which occured on October 23, 2007, although no law or regulation requires the FCC to do so within that time period.

Unless each of the parties agrees that no such clearance is necessary or advisable, the period of time for any applicable review process by CFIUS under the Exon-Florio Amendment (including, if applicable, any investigation commenced) has expired or been terminated or CFIUS has provided a written notice to the effect that review of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement has been concluded and that a determination has been made that there are no issues of national security sufficient to warrant investigation under the Exon-Florio Amendment. SunCom and T-Mobile have agreed not to seek voluntary review by CFIUS under the Exon-Florio Amendment.

The obligations of T-Mobile and Merger Sub to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following additional conditions:

• Accuracy of Our Representations and Warranties.

• Our representations and warranties relating to our capitalization and securities, authority relative to the merger agreement, and absence of certain changes must be true and correct in all respects (except for our representations and warranties relating to our

Table of Contents

capitalization and securities, in which case de minimus inaccuracies are allowed) in each case, as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the closing date as though made at and as of the closing date (except to the extent that any representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case it shall be true and correct as of such date); and

• All of our other representations and warranties must be true and correct in each case as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the closing date as though made as of the closing date (except to the extent that any representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case it shall be true and correct as of such date) except for such failures to be true and correct which have not had, or would not reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on SunCom.

• Performance of SunCom’s Covenants. We have performed or complied in all material respects with all agreements and covenants required by the merger agreement to be performed or complied by us on or before the effective time of the merger.

• Officer’s Certificate. T-Mobile has received a certificate dated as of the closing date and signed by an executive officer of SunCom to the effects set forth in the preceding two bullet points.

The obligations of SunCom to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following additional conditions:

• Accuracy of the Representations and Warranties of T-Mobile and Merger Sub.

• T-Mobile’s and Merger Sub’s representations and warranties relating to the availability of funds are true and correct as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the closing date as though made as of the closing date; and

• All of T-Mobile’s and Merger Sub’s other representations and warranties must be true and correct in each case as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the closing date as though made as of the closing date (except to the extent that any representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case it shall be true and correct as of such date) except for such failures to be true and correct which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, render illegal, or delay beyond the end date (including any extension) or materially impair the ability of T-Mobile or Merger Sub to consummate the merger (including delivery of the aggregate merger consideration) or any of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;

• Performance of T-Mobile’s and Merger Sub’s Covenants. T-Mobile and Merger Sub must in all material respects perform all material obligations and comply with all agreements and covenants that are required by the merger agreement to be performed or complied with by T-Mobile and Merger Sub prior to the completion of the merger.

• Officer’s Certificate. We have received a certificate dated as of the closing date and signed by an executive officer of T-Mobile to the effects set forth in the preceding two bullet points.

Termination

The parties agreed that the merger agreement may be terminated by T-Mobile or SunCom and the merger abandoned, at any time before the effective time of the merger (and notwithstanding any prior adoption of the merger agreement by our stockholders), by mutual written consent or under the following circumstances.

T-Mobile and SunCom each have the right to terminate the merger agreement by written notice in the event that:

• the merger is not completed by June 16, 2008, which date we refer to in this proxy statement as the end date, or, if the required regulatory approvals have not been obtained on such date, September 16, 2008 (however, no party may invoke this termination right if the failure of the merger to be completed by the end date (including any extension) is caused by that party’s failure to fulfill any of its obligations under the merger agreement);

Table of Contents

• any final and non-appealable restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, stay, or similar order permanently enjoins or otherwise prohibits consummation of the merger (however, no party may invoke this termination right if that party failed to use the reasonable best efforts required of it by the merger agreement to prevent, oppose, reverse and remove such injunction, stay or order);

• any federal, state or foreign statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree or injunction is enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by any governmental or regulatory authority (other any court of law or equity), has become final and non-appealable, and has the effect of making the conditions relating to legality or regulatory approvals incapable of being satisfied by the parties prior to the end date (including any extension) (however, no party may invoke this termination right if that party failed to use the reasonable best efforts required of it by the merger agreement to remove, prevent, or oppose such restraint); or

• the requisite majority of our stockholders fails to duly adopt the merger agreement at the special meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting (see ‘‘Voting Agreement’’).

We may terminate the merger agreement by written notice in the event that:

• T-Mobile or Merger Sub breaches or fails to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in a way that causes any of the conditions to SunCom’s obligation to complete the merger not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured or cannot be cured by the earlier of the end date (including any extension) and 60 days after written notice to T-Mobile (however, we may not invoke this termination right if we are in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement); or

• prior to the adoption of the merger agreement by our stockholders, (1) our board of directors receives a bona fide written Alternative Proposal which the board concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal after giving effect to all adjustments to the terms of the merger agreement which may be offered by T-Mobile, (2) failing to terminate the merger agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with our board’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (3) we comply in all material respects with our non-solicitation obligations in the merger agreement, (4) concurrently with the termination of the merger agreement, we enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal, and (5) we pay T-Mobile the termination fee described below in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Fees and Expenses’’ (provided that we have given T-Mobile four-business-day prior written notice of our intention to terminate the merger agreement specifying the terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and the identity of the person making the Superior Proposal, and have made our financial and legal advisors reasonably available to negotiate with T-Mobile during such four-business-day period (to the extent T-Mobile desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the merger agreement so that the Alternative Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal; and provided that in the event of material revisions to the Superior Proposal, we will be required to deliver a new four-business-days’ prior written notice to T-Mobile).

T-Mobile may terminate the merger agreement by written notice in the event that:

• we breach or fail to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in a way that causes any of the conditions to T-Mobile’s obligation to complete the merger not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured or cannot be cured by the earlier of the end date (including any extension) and 60 days after written notice to SunCom (however, T-Mobile may not invoke this termination right if it is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement); or

• if (1) our board of directors changes its recommendation with respect to the merger, (2) we fail to include our board’s recommendation in this proxy statement, (3) our board of directors approves, adopts, or recommends an Alternative Proposal, or we enter into a letter of intent,

Table of Contents

agreement in principle, or definitive agreement with respect to an Alternative Proposal
(other than a confidentiality agreement with terms as described above in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers’’), (4) our board of directors authorizes or publicly proposes any of the above, (5) we have breached in any material respect our obligations described above in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers,’’ or (6) we have breached in any material respect any of our obligations in the merger agreement related to holding the special meeting and obtaining the requisite stockholder approval of the merger agreement.

Fees and Expenses

The parties agreed that a termination fee or the reimbursement of expenses may be payable from us to T-Mobile upon the termination of the merger agreement under certain circumstances.

Termination Fee Payable by SunCom

We agreed to pay to T-Mobile a termination fee of $48 million (less any previously paid expenses of T-Mobile or Merger Sub as described below), on no more than one occasion, if:

• we terminate the merger agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (in the circumstances described above in ‘‘The Merger Agreement— Termination’’);

• T-Mobile terminates the merger agreement because we (1) approve, adopt, or recommend an Alternative Proposal or enter into a letter of intent, agreement in principle, or definitive agreement with respect to an Alternative Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement with terms as described above in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers’’), (2) authorize or publicly propose any of the above, (3) have breached in any material respect our non-solicitation obligations, summarized above in ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers,’’ or (4) have breached in any material respect any of our obligations related to holding the special meeting and obtaining the requisite stockholder approval of the merger agreement; or

• (1) the merger agreement is terminated by (i) T-Mobile or SunCom because the merger is not completed by the end date (including any extension) (provided that all conditions other than obtaining the requisite stockholder approval have been satisfied), (ii) T-Mobile or SunCom because our stockholders fail to adopt the merger agreement, or (iii) T-Mobile because SunCom has willfully breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements, (2) a bona fide, written Alternative Proposal (as defined above but with all references to 20% deemed to be references to 50%) has been publicly announced or publicly made known and not publicly withdrawn at least seven business days prior to the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting (in the case of clause (ii)) or the date of termination (in the case of clause (i) or (iii)), and (3) within 12 months after such termination, SunCom or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, any Alternative Proposal (as defined above but with all references to 20% deemed to be references to 50%, and whether or not the same as that previously announced or made known).

Reimbursement of T-Mobile’s Expenses

We agreed to reimburse T-Mobile for all of its and Merger Sub’s reasonably documented expenses, subject to a maximum of $10 million in the aggregate, in the event that:

• the merger agreement is terminated by T-Mobile or SunCom upon failure to obtain the stockholder vote required to approve the merger; or

• the merger agreement is terminated by T-Mobile or SunCom because the merger is not completed by the end date (including any extension) or as the result of (1) a final, non-appealable restraining order, injunction, stay or similar order that restrains the consummation of the merger or (2) a final, non-appealable statute, rule, regulation, executive

Table of Contents

order, decree or injunction that has the effect of making the conditions relating to legality or required regulatory approvals incapable of being satisfied prior to the end date (including any extension) (see ‘‘The Merger Agreement—Termination’’), at any time that the merger agreement is terminable because of the failure to obtain the required stockholder approval.

Any payment by SunCom of such expenses is creditable against any termination fee that is concurrently or subsequently owed by us. If we owe but fail to pay T-Mobile the $48 million termination fee within the applicable time period, we must pay T-Mobile the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with any action taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest on such unpaid amounts.

Amendment and Waiver

The merger agreement may be amended by a written agreement signed by SunCom, T-Mobile and Merger Sub at any time prior to the completion of the merger, whether or not our stockholders have adopted the merger agreement. However, if our stockholders adopt the merger agreement, no amendment that requires the further approval of our stockholders under applicable law can be made without obtaining that additional approval. At any time prior to the completion of the merger, a party to the merger agreement may waive in writing another party’s compliance with certain provisions of the merger agreement to the extent allowed by law.

• the merger agreement is terminated by mutual written consent of SunCom and T-Mobile;

• the merger agreement is terminated by T-Mobile by reason of SunCom’s non-willful breach or failure to perform its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements, which breach or failure to perform causes any of the conditions to T-Mobile’s obligation to complete the merger not to be satisfied.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS, DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of shares of our Class A common stock as of November 1, 2007 (except as noted below), by (1) each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the shares of our Class A common stock, (2) our named executive officers (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K), (3) each director and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group.

DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the DGCL, you have the right to dissent from the merger and to receive payment in cash for the fair value of your shares of Class A common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, as determined by the court, in lieu of the consideration you would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to the merger agreement. These rights are known as appraisal rights. Stockholders electing to exercise appraisal rights must comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL in order to perfect their rights. We will require strict compliance with the statutory procedures.

The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the Delaware statutory procedures required to be followed by a stockholder in order to dissent from the merger and perfect appraisal rights.

This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL, the full text of which appears in Annex D to this proxy statement. Failure to precisely follow any of the statutory procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL may result in a termination or waiver of your appraisal rights. All references in this summary to a ‘‘stockholder’’ are to the record holder of shares of Class A common stock unless otherwise indicated.

Section 262 requires that stockholders for whom appraisal rights are available be notified not less than 20 days before the stockholders’ meeting to vote on the merger that appraisal rights will be available. A copy of Section 262 must be included with such notice. This proxy statement constitutes our notice to our stockholders of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the merger in compliance with the requirements of Section 262. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262 contained in Annex D to this proxy statement since failure to timely and properly comply with the requirements of Section 262 will result in the loss of your appraisal rights under the DGCL.

If you elect to demand appraisal of your shares, you must satisfy each of the following conditions:

• You must deliver to us a written demand for appraisal of your shares before the vote with respect to the merger is taken. This written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against the adoption of the merger agreement. Voting against or failing to vote for the adoption of the merger agreement by itself does not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262.

• You must not vote in favor of, or consent in writing to, the adoption of the merger agreement. A vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, by proxy, over the Internet, by telephone or in person, will constitute a waiver of your appraisal rights in respect of the shares so voted and will nullify any previously filed written demands for appraisal. A proxy which does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the merger agreement. Therefore, a stockholder who votes by proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must vote against the merger agreement or abstain from voting on the merger agreement.

• You must continue to hold your shares of our Class A common stock through the effective date of the merger. Therefore, a stockholder who is the record holder of shares of SunCom Class A common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made but who thereafter transfers the shares prior to the effective date of the merger will lose any right to appraisal with respect to such shares.

If you fail to comply with any of these conditions and the merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive the merger consideration, but you will have no appraisal rights with respect to your shares of our Class A common stock.

Table of Contents

All demands for appraisal should be addressed to SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., 1100 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312, (610) 651-5900, Attention: Corporate Secretary, and must be delivered before the vote on the merger agreement is taken at the special meeting, and should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of the shares of common stock. The demand must reasonably inform us of the identity of the stockholder and the intention of the stockholder to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares.

To be effective, a demand for appraisal by a holder of common stock must be made by, or in the name of, such registered stockholder, fully and correctly, as the stockholder’s name appears on his or her stock certificate(s). Beneficial owners who do not also hold the shares of record may not directly make appraisal demands to us. The beneficial holder must, in such cases, have the registered owner, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, submit the required demand in respect of those shares. If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand for appraisal should be made by or for the fiduciary; and if the shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares as a nominee for others, may exercise his or her right of appraisal with respect to the shares held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the number of shares as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares held in the name of the record owner.

If you hold your shares of common stock in a brokerage account or in other nominee form and you wish to exercise appraisal rights, you should consult with your broker or the other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by the nominee.

Within 10 days after the effective time of the merger, the surviving corporation must give written notice that the merger has become effective to each stockholder who has properly filed a written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of the merger agreement. At any time within 60 days after the effective time, any stockholder who has demanded an appraisal, and who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party, has the right to withdraw the demand and to accept the cash payment specified by the merger agreement for his or her shares of common stock; after this period, the stockholder may withdraw such demand for appraisal only with the consent of the surviving corporation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, any stockholder who has complied with Section 262 will, upon written request to the surviving corporation, be entitled to receive a written statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisal rights have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of Class A common stock held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, request from the corporation the statement described in the previous sentence. Such written statement will be mailed to the requesting stockholder within 10 days after such written request is received by the surviving corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. Within 120 days after the effective time, either the surviving corporation or any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares held by all stockholders entitled to appraisal. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of Class A common stock held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file the petition described in the previous sentence. Upon the filing of the petition by a stockholder, service of a copy of such petition shall be made upon SunCom, as the surviving corporation. The surviving corporation has no obligation to file such a petition in the event there are dissenting stockholders. Accordingly, the failure of a stockholder to file such a petition within the period specified could nullify the stockholder’s previously written demand for appraisal. There is no present

Table of Contents

intent on the part of SunCom to file an appraisal petition and stockholders seeking to exercise appraisal rights should not assume that SunCom will file such a petition or that SunCom will initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of such shares. Accordingly, stockholders who desire to have their shares appraised should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of their appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262.

If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation will then be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to provide the Delaware Court of Chancery with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving corporation. After notice to dissenting stockholders who demanded appraisal of their shares, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition, and to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to the appraisal rights provided thereby. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the stockholders who have demanded appraisal for their shares to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with that direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to that stockholder.

After determination of the stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares of common stock, the Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest, if any. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. When the value is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value, with interest thereon accrued during the pendency of the proceeding, if the Delaware Court of Chancery so determines, to the stockholders entitled to receive the same, upon surrender by such holders of the certificates representing those shares.

In determining fair value, and, if applicable, interest, the Delaware Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that ‘‘proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court’’ should be considered, and that ‘‘fair price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.’’

Section 262 provides that fair value is to be ‘‘exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.’’ In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a ‘‘narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value,’’ but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger, the Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 to mean that ‘‘elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.’’

You should be aware that the fair value of your shares as determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the value that you are entitled to receive under the terms of the merger agreement.

Costs of the appraisal proceeding may be imposed upon the surviving corporation and the stockholders participating in the appraisal proceeding by the Delaware Court of Chancery as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon the application of a stockholder, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and

Table of Contents

the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. Any stockholder who had demanded appraisal rights will not, after the effective time of the merger, be entitled to vote shares subject to that demand for any purpose or to receive payments of dividends or any other distribution with respect to those shares, other than with respect to payment as of a record date prior to the effective time; however, if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, or if the stockholder delivers a written withdrawal of his or her demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the terms of the merger within 60 days after the effective time of the merger, then the right of that stockholder to appraisal will cease and that stockholder will be entitled to receive the cash payment for shares of his, her or its shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the merger agreement. Inasmuch as the surviving corporation has no obligation to file a petition for appraisal, and SunCom has no present intention to do so, any stockholder who desires such a petition to be filed is advised to file it on a timely basis. Any withdrawal of a demand for appraisal made more than 60 days after the effective time of the merger may only be made with the written approval of the surviving corporation. No appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any stockholder without the prior approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just; provided, however, that any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party will maintain the right to withdraw its demand for appraisal and to accept the cash that such holder would have received pursuant to the merger agreement within 60 days after the effective date of the merger.

In view of the complexity of Section 262, stockholders who may wish to dissent from the merger and pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors.

MULTIPLE STOCKHOLDERS SHARING ONE ADDRESS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, known as ‘‘householding,’’ potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. This year, a number of brokers with customers who are our stockholders will be ‘‘householding’’ our proxy materials unless contrary instructions have been received from the customers. We will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of the proxy statement to any stockholder sharing an address to which only one copy was mailed. Requests for additional copies should be directed to:

SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc.
1100 Cassatt Road
Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312
(610) 651-5900
Attention: Executive Director Investor Relations

Once a stockholder has received notice from his or her broker that the broker will be ‘‘householding’’ communications to the stockholder’s address, ‘‘householding’’ will continue until the stockholder is notified otherwise or until the stockholder revokes his or her consent. If, at any time, a stockholder no longer wishes to participate in ‘‘householding’’ and would prefer to receive separate copies of the proxy statement, the stockholder should so notify his or her broker. Any stockholder who currently receives multiple copies of the proxy statement at his or her address and would like to request ‘‘householding’’ of communications should contact his or her broker or, if shares are registered in the stockholder’s name, our Executive Director of Investor Relations, at the address or telephone number provided above.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the merger is completed, we will have no public stockholders and no public participation in any of our future stockholder meetings. However, if the merger is not completed, our stockholders will continue to be entitled to attend and participate in our stockholder meetings.

If the merger is not completed, stockholder proposals intended to be included in our proxy statement for the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, must be received a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials for such annual meeting. Such proposals must meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for SunCom’s 2008 annual meeting.

Any stockholder that wishes to present a proposal, other than through inclusion in the proxy materials, or nominate a director at the 2008 annual meeting must comply with the procedural requirements set forth in SunCom’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of SunCom generally require notice of (i) any proposal to be presented by any stockholder or (ii) the name of any person to be nominated by any stockholder for election as a director of SunCom at a meeting of the stockholders to be delivered to or mailed and received by the Corporate Secretary of SunCom at SunCom’s principal executive offices. Notice must be received by the Corporate Secretary not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting. The stockholder submitting the notice must be a stockholder of record on the date the notice is given and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the 2008 annual meeting. Any stockholder wishing to present a proposal or nominate a director at the 2008 annual meeting should contact the Corporate Secretary of SunCom to obtain the actual meeting date and proposal deadlines. The notice must include the following information as applicable:

• regarding the stockholder: name; record address; class or series and number of shares of SunCom’s capital stock owned beneficially or of record; description of all arrangements or understandings between or among the stockholder and each proposed director nominee; a

Table of Contents

representation that the stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate each proposed director nominee; and any other information relating to the stockholder required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other required filings for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

• regarding each proposed director nominee: name; age; business address; residence address; principal occupation or employment; class or series and number of shares of SunCom capital stock owned beneficially or of record; and any other information relating to the nominee required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other required filings for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and

• accompany the written notice above with a written consent of the proposed director nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

Failure by a stockholder to act in compliance with the notice provisions in SunCom’s Second and Restated Bylaws will mean that the stockholder will not be able to nominate directors or present a proposal at the annual meeting.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Parties intend that Merger Sub be merged with and into the Company upon the terms set forth herein, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interest of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and (iii) resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company;

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub have unanimously approved this Agreement and declared it advisable for Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as an inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and incur the obligations set forth herein, certain shareholders of the Company have executed a Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the ‘‘Voting Agreement’’); and

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the ‘‘DGCL’’), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the ‘‘Merger’’), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue its corporate existence under Delaware law as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the ‘‘Surviving Corporation’’) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.02 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the ‘‘Closing’’) shall take place at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, New York, 10019 at 10:00 a.m., local time, on a date (the ‘‘Closing Date’’) which shall be the third Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions to be taken at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or at such other place, date and time as the Company and Parent may agree in writing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI as of any date, Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to effect the Closing prior to April 15, 2008.

Section 1.03 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company will cause a certificate of merger (the ‘‘Certificate of Merger’’) to be executed,

A-1

Table of Contents

acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL and the Parties shall take all such further action as may be required by Law to make the Merger effective. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by the Company and Merger Sub in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Effective Time’’).

Section 1.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all property of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all liabilities and obligations of the Company and Merger Sub shall become liabilities and obligations of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. Subject to and consistent with the obligations set forth in Section 5.07 hereof, at the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in the merger to read in its entirety as the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub read immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof and applicable Law, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., and (b) the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in their entirety as the by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law, except that the references to Merger Sub’s name shall be replaced by references to SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc.

Section 1.06 Directors. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law.

Section 1.07 Officers. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law.

Section 1.08 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Conversion of Common Stock. Each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a ‘‘Share’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Shares’’) (including any Restricted Shares as described in Section 1.10), other than the Cancelled Shares and the Dissenting Shares, shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $27.00 in cash, without interest (the ‘‘Merger Consideration’’). All Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 1.08 shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.09.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub-Owned Shares. Each Share that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time or held by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) immediately prior to the Effective Time (in each case, other than any such Shares held on behalf of third parties) (the ‘‘Cancelled Shares’’) shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange for such cancellation.

Table of Contents

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Dissenters’ Rights. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby), Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by holders of such Shares who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who are entitled to demand and who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the ‘‘Dissenting Shares’’) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead holders of such Dissenting Shares will be entitled to such rights (and only such rights) as are granted by the provisions of Section 262 unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws, waives or loses its rights to appraisal under the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by the provisions of Section 262. If any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and have become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such Shares. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company will give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisals of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, Parent shall have the right to conduct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices and demands and the Company shall have the opportunity to participate in (but not control) such negotiations and proceedings at its own cost. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), voluntarily make or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle, or offer to agree to settle, any such demands.

(e) Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of capital stock, shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or subdivision or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, merger or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; provided that nothing herein shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.09 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a U.S. bank or trust company that shall be appointed by Parent and approved in advance by the Company in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to act as a paying agent hereunder (and pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company) (the ‘‘Paying Agent’’), in trust for the benefit of holders of the Shares (including the Restricted Shares), cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the Shares (including the Restricted Shares) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective

Table of Contents

Time (other than the Cancelled Shares), payable upon due surrender of the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares (including the Restricted Shares) (‘‘Certificates’’) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (‘‘Book-Entry Shares’’) pursuant to the provisions of this Article I (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Exchange Fund’’).

(b) Payment Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event no later than the fifth Business Day following the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares (including Restricted Shares) whose Shares were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.08, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to Merger Consideration payable in exchange therefor. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or to cause to be deducted or withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any holder of Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Shares), such amounts as may be required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and paid over to the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares, in respect of which such deduction or withholding were made.

(c) Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for a check in the proper amount pursuant to this Article I.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of Shares or Restricted Shares who have not surrendered their Shares or Restricted Shares in accordance with this Section 1.09 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their Shares or Restricted Shares (subject to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law) but only as a general creditor thereof for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration.

A-4

Table of Contents

(e) No Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount of the Merger Consideration in respect thereof entitled to be received pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 1.10 Treatment of Restricted Shares. Except as set forth in Section 4.01 of the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to certain Restricted Shares that may be granted after the date hereof but that will be forfeited at the Effective Time, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Stock and Incentive Plan and 2004 Directors’ Stock and Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Company Stock Plans’’) and/or any applicable restricted stock award agreements (collectively, the ‘‘Restricted Shares’’), shall, by virtue of this Agreement, vest and become free of such restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.08(a) hereof.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable employee benefit plan or compensation arrangement or agreements in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions had not been waived under the comparable plans of the Company or its subsidiaries in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents prior to the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall continue and cause to be honored the Company’s severance programs and policies described in Section 5.09(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter as in effect prior to the Effective Time (the ‘‘Company Severance Program’’) without any amendments adverse to Company Employees; provided, that with respect to a Company Employee in the event Parent’s severance policy generally applicable to its similarly situated employees who commenced employment during the five-year period preceding the Effective Time would provide more favorable benefits to such Company Employee than the Company Severance Program applicable to such Company Employee, such Company Employee shall be eligible to receive benefits under Parent’s severance policy, instead of receiving payments or benefits under the Company Severance Program. In addition to any qualifying events, eligibility criteria or other circumstances entitling a Company Employee to severance benefits under the Company Severance Program or

A-32

Table of Contents

Parent’s severance policy as in effect on the date hereof, in the event that during such one-year period following the Effective Time, such Company Employee terminates employment as a result of a Constructive Discharge, such Company Employee shall receive severance benefits under the Company Severance Program or Parent’s severance policy, as applicable, to the same extent as if such Company Employee had been involuntarily terminated without cause. For purposes of this Section 5.09(c), the term ‘‘Constructive Discharge’’ shall mean (i) a material diminution in the essential functions of the Company Employee’s job as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) a relocation of the Company Employee’s primary workplace to a location more than 50 miles from such Company Employee’s primary workplace as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) No later than five Business Days prior to its distribution, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of any communication intended to be made to any of their respective employees relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and will provide an opportunity for Parent to make reasonable revisions thereto and Parent will provide any such comments within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such communication.

(e) Nothing in this Section 5.09 shall be construed or interpreted to (i) amend any Company Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent the amendment or termination of any Plan, (iii) interfere with the Parent’s right or obligation to make such changes to any Company Benefit Plan as are necessary to conform with applicable Law, or (iv) alter the at-will employment status of any Company Employee or limit the right of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Company Employee at any time or, subject to compliance with its obligations under Section 5.09(c), require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to provide any such employee benefits, rates of base salary or hourly wage or annual bonus opportunities for any period following any such termination.

Section 5.10 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by any Party hereto to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with that certain No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

Section 5.11 700 MHz Auction. The Company acknowledges that Parent is currently considering its participation, and may decide to participate, in FCC Auction No. 73 (700 MHz band) (‘‘Auction 73’’). If both Parent and the Company elect to participate in Auction 73, or if the Company elects to participate and Parent elects not to participate in Auction 73, each of Parent and the Company will endeavor and cooperate in good faith (including by preparing a joint bidding agreement, if both Parent and Company elect to participate) to enable the Closing to occur without delay and prior to the end of Auction 73. If Parent reasonably believes, based on advice of counsel, that the proposed cooperation (including the joint bidding arrangement, if applicable) will not render any risk of delay of the Closing (because of change in control restrictions under the FCC’s rules, violation of applicable Law or otherwise) reasonably unlikely, then the Company will not file a short form 175 for Auction 73.

Section 5.12 Treatment of Senior Notes. (a) Provided that the provisions of Sections 5.12(e) and 5.12(f) are satisfied, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to commence, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of a written request from Parent to do so, an offer to purchase all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes , and to solicit the consent (the ‘‘Consent Solicitation’’, together with the offer to purchase, the ‘‘Debt Offer’’) of the holders of the Senior Notes to certain amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the ‘‘Indenture Amendments’’), in each case, on terms and conditions in this Section 5.12 and otherwise specified by Parent; provided, that the Indenture Amendments shall be set forth in the offer to purchase, related letter of transmittal, and/or other related documents (collectively, the ‘‘Offer Documents’’) necessary to consummate the Debt Offer and the Company shall not be required to commence any Debt Offer until Parent shall have provided the Company with the Offer Documents; provided, further, that prior to the Effective Time, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to (i) make any cash expenditures or (ii) take any action

that could obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase any Senior Notes or incur any additional obligations to the holders of the Senior Notes prior to the consummation of the Debt Offer. Any mailings to holders of the Senior Notes shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Company and Parent. The terms and conditions specified by Parent for the Debt Offer shall be only such terms and such conditions as are customarily included in offers to purchase debt securities similar to the Senior Notes and otherwise in compliance with applicable Laws. The closing of the Debt Offer shall be expressly conditioned on the completion of the Merger and shall be conducted in compliance with applicable Laws, including SEC rules and regulations. None of the Senior Notes shall be required to be purchased prior to the Effective Time. The Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, provide cooperation and assistance reasonably requested by the other in connection with the Debt Offer.

(b) Subject to Sections 5.12(e) and 5.12(f), if requested by Parent in writing, in lieu of commencing a Debt Offer for the Senior Notes, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, to the extent permitted by the indenture governing the Senior Notes to (i) at any time after April 15, 2008, issue a notice of optional redemption (the ‘‘Redemption Notice’’) for all of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes pursuant to the requisite provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, or (ii) take actions reasonably requested by Parent that are reasonably necessary for the satisfaction, discharge or defeasance of the Senior Notes pursuant to the applicable provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, and shall redeem or satisfy, discharge or defease, as applicable, the Senior Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes on the Effective Time (clauses (i) and (ii), the ‘‘Debt Redemption’’); provided, that (A) in no event shall the Company be required to consummate the Debt Redemption, provide any irrevocable notice of the Debt Redemption or take any other irrevocable act regarding the Debt Redemption prior to the Effective Time, (B) to the extent that any action described in clause (i) or (ii) can be conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Time, it will be so conditioned, (C) prior to the Company being required to take any of the actions described in clause (i) or (ii) above that cannot be conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Time, as of the Closing, Parent shall set aside, or shall cause to be set aside sufficient funds to deliver to the Company to effect such redemption or satisfaction or discharge, (D) prior to the Company being required to take any of the actions described in clause (ii) above, Parent shall deliver to, or shall cause to be delivered to, the Company or a paying agent identified by the Company to Parent and reasonably acceptable to Parent sufficient funds to deliver to the Company to effect such redemption or satisfaction or discharge, and (E) any ‘‘Opinion of Counsel’’ required to be given under the indenture governing the Senior Notes in connection with the Debt Redemption shall be given by counsel to the Surviving Corporation. The Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, provide cooperation and assistance reasonably requested by the other in connection with the Debt Redemption.

(c) Subject to Section 5.12(a), the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, waive any of the conditions to the Debt Offer (other than that the Merger shall have been consummated and that there shall be no Law, injunction or other legal restraint prohibiting consummation of the Debt Offer) as may be reasonably requested by Parent and shall not, without the written consent of Parent, waive any condition to the Debt Offer or make any changes to the Debt Offer other than as agreed in writing between Parent and the Company. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to make any change to the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer requested by Parent that decreases the price per Senior Note payable in the Debt Offer or related consent solicitation or imposes conditions to the Debt Offers or related consent solicitation that are adverse to the holders of the Senior Notes, unless such change is previously approved by the Company in writing.

(d) The Company covenants and agrees that, promptly following the Consent Solicitation expiration date, assuming the requisite consent of holders of the Senior Notes to authorize the Indenture Amendments (the ‘‘Requisite Consent’’) are received, each of the Company and its applicable Subsidiaries as is necessary shall (and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to

cause the applicable trustee to) execute supplemental indentures to the indenture governing the Senior Notes, which supplemental indentures shall implement the Indenture Amendments and shall become operative only concurrently with the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the conditions to the Debt Offer). Concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall provide to the Surviving Corporation necessary funds to and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to accept for payment and thereafter promptly pay for the Senior Notes that have been properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Debt Offer.

The Offer Documents (including all amendments or supplements thereto) and all mailings to the holders of the Senior Notes in connection with the Debt Offer and Redemption Notice shall be subject to the prior review of, and comment by, the Company and Parent and shall be reasonably acceptable to each of them. If at any time prior to the completion of the Debt Offer, any information should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Offer Documents, so that the Offer Documents shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement prepared by Parent describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of the Senior Notes (which supplement or amendment and dissemination may, at the reasonable direction of Parent, take the form of a filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.12(e), the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act and any other applicable Law to the extent such laws are applicable in connection with the Debt Offer and such compliance will not be deemed a breach hereof.

(f) In connection with the Debt Offer and any Debt Redemption, Parent may select one or more dealer managers, information agents, depositaries and other agents, in each case as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to provide assistance in connection therewith and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, enter into customary agreements (including indemnities) with such parties so selected. Parent shall pay the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any dealer manager, information agent, depositary or other agent retained in connection with the Debt Offer and any Debt Redemption upon the incurrence of such fees and out-of-pocket expenses, and Parent further agrees to reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for all of their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the Debt Offer and any Debt Redemption promptly following the incurrence thereof. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors and each Person that controls the Company within the meaning of Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a ‘‘Company Person’’) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (excluding the out-of-pocket costs and expenses referred to in the immediately preceding sentence) suffered or incurred by any Company Person, or to which any Company Person may become subject, that arises out of, or in any way in connection with, the Debt Offer, Debt Redemption, or any actions taken, or not taken by Company, or at the direction of Company, pursuant to this Section 5.12 or at the request of Parent.

The Parties agree and acknowledge that, any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with this Section 5.13 shall not be a condition to any Party’s obligation to effect the Merger.

Section 5.14 Shareholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company or any of its directors or officers relating to the Merger or any other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not settle or agree to settle any such litigation without Parent’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake the build out of such cell sites in a timely manner. Upon the reasonable request of Parent, the Company shall provide reasonably detailed updates to Parent of the progress of the network improvement plan. The Parties agree and acknowledge that, any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither the obtaining of any zoning or building permits nor the build-out of all, any or any portion of the cell sites contemplated by the network improvement plan nor the achievement of any progress milestones relating thereto shall be a condition to any Party’s obligation to effect the Merger.

Section 5.17 Puerto Rico Switch. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) relocate the switch equipment used by its Subsidiaries in Puerto Rico to another appropriate location, or (ii) extend the Real Property Lease relating to the Leased Real Property at which such equipment is located as of the date hereof, in each case without any material disruption to the Puerto Rico business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and pursuant to a commercially reasonable Real Property Lease with a term which does not expire before the first anniversary of the Effective Time.

If the Company fails to pay Parent the Termination Fee when due, the Company shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by Parent in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 7.02 and shall pay interest on the amount of the Termination Fee, at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded daily, from the date such Termination Fee became due and owing through and including the date of payment. In addition, the Parties further agree that, if the Company fails to pay Parent any amount payable under this Agreement when due or Parent fails to pay the Company any amount payable under this Agreement when due (other than the amounts referred to in the prior sentence), the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall pay interest on such amount at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded daily, from the date such amount became due and owing through and including the date of payment.

Section 7.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company and Parent pursuant to a writing adopted by action taken by each of them at any time before the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company no amendment may be made which under applicable law would require approval of such Party’s stockholders without such approval.

Section 7.04 Waiver. At any time before the Effective Time, the Company and Parent may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the others, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only as against such Party and only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party.

Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the holders of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the ‘‘Shares’’), of SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’) of the $27.00 per Share in cash to be received by such holders pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 16, 2007 (the ‘‘Agreement’’), by and among T-Mobile USA, Inc. (‘‘Parent’’), Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates are engaged in investment banking and financial advisory services, securities trading, investment management, principal investment, financial planning, benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing, brokerage activities and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. In the ordinary course of these activities and services, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates may at any time make or hold long or short positions and investments, as well as actively trade or effect transactions, in the equity, debt and other securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of the Company, Parent and any of their respective affiliates or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (the ‘‘Transaction’’) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with, and have participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transaction. We expect to receive fees for our services in connection with the Transaction, the principal portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Transaction, and the Company has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. In addition, we have provided certain investment banking and other financial services to the Company and its affiliates from time to time. We also have provided certain investment banking and other financial services to Parent and its affiliates from time to time, including having acted as co-advisor to Deutsche Telekom AG, the indirect parent company of Parent (‘‘Deutsche’’), in connection with its tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of T-Online AG it did not already own in June 2006; and as co-manager with respect to Deutsche’s issuance of bonds (aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000) in October 2006. We also may provide investment banking and other financial services to the Company, Parent, Deutsche and their respective affiliates in the future. In connection with the above-described services we have received, and may receive, compensation. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and certain of its affiliates currently own, in the aggregate, approximately 2% of the Shares.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the Agreement; annual reports to stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 2006; certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the Company; certain other communications from the Company to its stockholders; certain publicly available research analyst reports for the Company; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company prepared by its management and approved for our use by the Company (the ‘‘Forecasts’’). We also have held discussions with members of the senior management of the Company regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of the Company. In addition, we have reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the Shares, compared certain financial and stock market information for the Company with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the wireless industry specifically and in other industries generally and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as we considered appropriate.

For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have relied upon and assumed, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by us. In that regard, we have assumed with your consent that the Forecasts have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company. In addition, we have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Our opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters.

Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Transaction, or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company. Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof and we assume no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming this opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date hereof. Our advisory services and the opinion expressed herein are provided for the information and assistance of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and such opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of Shares should vote with respect to such Transaction or any other matter. This opinion has been approved by a fairness committee of Goldman, Sachs & Co.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the $27.00 per Share in cash to be received by the holders of Shares pursuant to the Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Goldman, Sachs & Co.
(GOLDMAN, SACHS & CO.)

As used herein, a ‘‘Permitted Transferee’’ shall mean a Person that (A) is a signatory to this Agreement as of the date hereof, owns Shares continuously from the date hereof through the time of the action proposed under Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(iii), and has not violated this Agreement or (B) before such action proposed under Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(iii) occurs, is an Affiliate of such Stockholder, agrees in writing, in form and substance to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, to be bound as a Stockholder under this Agreement and has not violated this Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of Shares to a Permitted Transferee, the transferring Stockholder may transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Permitted Transferee, but the transferring Stockholder shall remain primarily liable for all breaches of such obligations before such Transfer and shall remain secondarily liable for all breaches of such transferred obligations from and after such Transfer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall permit any Transfer of Shares, Beneficial Ownership, rights or obligations or any other action that would otherwise be permitted by this Section 2(a) if such Transfer or other action would create any material impediment or delay to the performance or consummation of the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, including, without limitation, triggering the applicability of any ‘‘fair price’’, ‘‘moratorium’’, ‘‘control share acquisition’’ or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Stockholder may enter into any contract, option, swap or other agreement or arrangement, grant a participation in, and pledge and encumber the Shares thereunder in connection with any bona fide lending, hedging or other financing or derivative transaction or arrangement (a ‘‘Permitted Transaction’’); provided that (i) the Stockholder retains the right to vote or consent to, or cause to be voted or consented to, all Shares as provided in Section 1 during the term of such Permitted Transaction (except as provided in (ii)) and (ii) in the event of a default or breach of any term of such Permitted Transaction by the Stockholder that would result in the counterparty to such Permitted Transaction or any other Person acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership of such Shares, no Transfer of such Shares would be permitted prior to such counterparty or other Person agreeing in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, to be bound as a Stockholder under this Agreement, and any such Transfer in violation of this Section 2(b) shall be void and of no effect.

(c) Each Stockholder undertakes that, while this Agreement is in effect, except as contemplated by Section 7, such Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly from the date hereof (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to, or the making or completion of, any Alternative Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to an Alternative Proposal, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations regarding, or provide or cause to be provided any information or data relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with, or have any discussions with any Person (other than such Stockholder’s Representatives) relating to, or that is reasonably likely to lead to, an actual or proposed Alternative Proposal, or otherwise knowingly encourage or facilitate any effort or attempt to make, implement or solicit an Alternative Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any Alternative Proposal, (iv) enter into, or approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly announce an intention to enter into, or approve, endorse or recommend, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Alternative Proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to breach its obligations hereunder, or (v) alone or together with any other Person, make an Alternative Proposal.

(d) In furtherance of this Agreement, concurrently herewith, each Stockholder shall, and hereby authorizes Buyer, the Company or their respective counsel to, notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Shares and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of such Shares; provided, that any such stop transfer restriction in respect of a Stockholder (i) shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in respect of such Stockholder, and (ii) shall not prohibit a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder in accordance with Section 2(a) hereof or in a Permitted Transaction in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof but shall apply to and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all Shares transferred by such Stockholder to such Permitted Transferee or in such Permitted Transaction.

Section 3. Reasonable Efforts to Cooperate.

(a) Except as contemplated by Section 7, each Stockholder will, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice by the Company, Buyer or Merger Sub, without further consideration, promptly provide any customary information reasonably requested by the Company, Buyer or Merger Sub that is necessary for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including filings with the SEC or any other Governmental or Regulatory Authority).

(b) Each Stockholder hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in the Proxy Statement, statements of beneficial ownership filed by Buyer and its Affiliates (and any other documents or communications provided by Buyer, Merger Sub or the Company to any Governmental or Regulatory Authority or to security holders of the Company) such Stockholder’s identity and Beneficial Ownership of the Shares and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that each Stockholder shall have the opportunity to review such disclosure prior to its publication in the Proxy Statement, and no information relating to any Stockholder shall be published in the Proxy Statement without the approval of such Stockholder (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Each Stockholder agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, (i) to notify Buyer promptly in writing of the number of additional Shares, any options to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company acquired by such Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Stockholder agrees that any such additional shares shall be, for all purposes of this Agreement, ‘‘Shares’’) and (ii) to notify Buyer promptly in writing if it receives, in its capacity as a Stockholder, any inquiries or proposals relating to the matters contemplated by Section 2(b), including any Alternative Proposal, and to include in such notice the identity of the counterparty and the material provisions of the inquiry or proposal.

(d) Except as contemplated by Section 7 and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, while this Agreement is in effect, each Stockholder shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things reasonably necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

Section 4. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each Stockholder on such Stockholder’s own behalf hereby severally, and not jointly with any other Stockholder, represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof as follows:

(a) Ownership of Shares. The Stockholder (i) except as otherwise noted on Schedule I, is the sole owner of record and has Beneficial Ownership of all of the Shares as set forth opposite its name on Schedule I hereto, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, security interests, options, rights or other encumbrances whatsoever on title or transfer (other than those imposed under the federal securities laws, this Agreement or any Permitted Transaction), (ii) has sole voting power with respect to all of such Shares and, except as otherwise provided in the Exchange Agreement, has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any such Shares and has not granted a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to such Shares and, so long as this Agreement is in effect, will not grant any such proxies, consents and powers of attorney with respect to such Shares that would violate this Agreement and (iii) does not own of record or beneficially, any shares of capital stock of the Company or right to acquire such shares, other than the Shares set forth on Schedule I hereto.

(b) Due Organization. The Stockholder is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

(c) Power, Binding Agreement. The Stockholder has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and no further proceedings or actions on the part of such Stockholder are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement or the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except that enforceability may be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors rights generally and to general principles of equity.

(d) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Stockholder will not, result in any breach or violation of, require any consent under, be in conflict with or constitute a default (whether with notice of lapse of time or both) under any mortgage, bond, indenture, agreement, instrument, obligation or Law to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or its Shares are bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not in any material respect impair, delay or adversely affect the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Consents. No consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental or Regulatory Authority is required by or with respect to the Stockholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the compliance by such Stockholder with the provisions of this Agreement, except for (i) filings with the SEC of such reports under the Exchange Act as may be required in connection with this Agreement, and (ii) such other items and consents the failure of which to be obtained or made, individually or in the aggregate, would not in any material respect impair, delay or adversely affect the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is seven months and 15 days from the date of the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof; provided,

C-4

Table of Contents

however, that if prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, the Company Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained and remains in full force and effect, this Agreement shall instead terminate on the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof; and provided, further, however, that as to any Stockholder that is not in material breach of this Agreement, if the Merger Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Sections 7.01(a), 7.01(b)(i), 7.01(b)(ii), 7.01(b)(iii), 7.01(c)(i) or 7.01(d)(i) (other than, in the case of 7.01(d)(i), a termination resulting from a willful breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the Merger Agreement), this Agreement shall instead terminate as to such Stockholder on the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Any such termination shall be without prejudice to liabilities arising hereunder before such termination.

Section 6. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

Section 7. Fiduciary Duties. Each Stockholder is signing this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as an owner of its respective Shares, and nothing herein shall prohibit, prevent or preclude such Stockholder (or a designee of such Stockholder) from taking or not taking any action in its capacity as an officer or director of the Company.

Section 8. Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenter’s Rights. Each Stockholder waives and agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal, rights to dissent or similar rights with respect to the Merger that such Stockholder may have with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares pursuant to applicable Law.

Section 9. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. Each of the Stockholders hereby appoints Buyer and any designee of Buyer, and each of them individually, as such Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, during the period from and after the date hereof and until this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 5, to vote all of the Shares owned, beneficially or of record, by such Stockholder in respect of such matter, or to act by written consent thereof, in accordance with Section 1. This power of attorney and proxy is given to secure the performance of the Stockholders’ obligations set forth in Section 1. Each Stockholder acknowledges that this power of attorney and proxy (a) is coupled with an interest, (b) constitutes, among other things, an inducement for Buyer and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and (c) is irrevocable. The power of attorney granted by each Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and will survive the dissolution, bankruptcy and other incapacity of the Stockholder, and each proxy granted herein by each Stockholder is executed, and is intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. Each Stockholder hereby revokes all other powers of attorney and proxies with respect to the Shares that it may heretofore have appointed or granted.

Section 10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement, to the extent referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes any and all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and is not intended to confer upon any Person other than Buyer, Merger Sub and the Stockholders, any rights or remedies hereunder. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or rescinded except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, that Buyer and Merger Sub may waive compliance by any other party with any representation, agreement or condition otherwise required to be complied with by any such party under this Agreement or release any other party from its obligations under this Agreement, but any such waiver or release shall be effective only if in writing and executed by Buyer and Merger Sub.

(b) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, then all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the

C-5

Table of Contents

economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the maximum extent possible.

(c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof that would result in the application of law of any other jurisdiction.

(h) Interpretation. When reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.

Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 10(i), (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10(e). Nothing in this Section, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(j) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER.

Annex D

SECTION 262 OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE
STATE OF DELAWARE

§ 262. Appraisal rights

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word ‘‘stockholder’’ means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words ‘‘stock’’ and ‘‘share’’ mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words ‘‘depository receipt’’ mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of § 251 of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment

D-1

Table of Contents

to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228 or § 253 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the

stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.
