EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
9,662,736 shares of FON Common Stock of Sprint Corporation ("Sprint") issuable
under the Sprint Retirement Savings Plan and the Sprint Retirement Savings Plan
for Bargaining Unit Employees. In connection with the merger of Nextel
Communications, Inc. with and into a subsidiary of Sprint in August 2005, Sprint
amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Sprint Nextel
Corporation ("Sprint Nextel") and to redesignate its FON Common Stock as Common
Stock. No shares of Common Stock registered under this Registration Statement
have been issued.
The Sprint Retirement Savings Plan was amended effective January 1, 2006.
Common Stock is no longer offered as an investment alternative for additional
contributions or exchanges and the company match is no longer made in Common
Stock. Following the spin-off of Embarq Corporation in May 2006, Sprint Nextel
is no longer the sponsor of the Sprint Retirement Savings Plan for Bargaining
Unit Employees. Consequently, no additional shares of Sprint Nextel Common Stock
will be issued by Sprint Nextel under either Plan. Accordingly, the purpose of
this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is to
deregister the 9,662,736 shares of Sprint Nextel Common Stock covered by this
Registration Statement.
