This Amendment No. 3, which is the final amendment, amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2005, and amended on August 1, 2005 and on August 4, 2005, by UK Acquisition Corp., a Louisiana corporation (the “Offeror”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint Corporation, a Kansas corporation (“Sprint”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Offeror to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Shares”), of US Unwired Inc., a Louisiana corporation (the “Company”), for $6.25 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 15, 2005 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as amended from time to time, constitute the “Offer”).

 

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9 AND 11 AND 12

 

Items 1 through 9 and 11 and 12 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

1. The Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following after Item 10:

 

Item 11. Additional Information.

 

The initial offering period expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, August 11, 2005. As of this time, based on the final count by the Depositary, a total of 154,620,101 Shares had been validly tendered and not withdrawn from the Offer. This constitutes approximately 95% of the Shares issued and outstanding. The Purchaser has accepted all of these Shares for payment and will promptly pay the Offer Price in respect of such Shares.

 

The Merger was consummated effective as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time on August 12, 2005 without a meeting of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the LBCL. As a result of the Merger, each remaining outstanding Share was converted into the right to receive $6.25 per Share, in cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest, other than Shares held by the Offeror, by the Company directly as treasury stock or by Company shareholders that properly exercise dissenters rights in accordance with Louisiana law.

 

The full text of the press release issued by Sprint on August 12, 2005 announcing the consummation of the Offer is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(I) and is incorporated herein by reference.
