PSAM Terminates Proxy Solicitation Campaign Against MetroPCS / T-Mobile Transaction

NEW YORK, April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP ("PSAM") today announced that, based on the improved terms offered by Deutsche Telekom and the circumstances that exist at the present time, it has withdrawn its proxy solicitation campaign opposing the proposed combination between MetroPCS Communications, Inc. ("PCS" or the "Company") and T-Mobile USA, Inc. ("T-Mobile").

PCS shareholders who previously submitted a signed WHITE proxy card without instructions, or with instructions to vote "AGAINST" each of the PCS Special Meeting Proposals (as defined in the Proxy Statement), should be aware that your shares will be voted "AGAINST" each of these Proposals unless you take the necessary action to revoke your proxy.

If you are a record holder of PCS common stock, you may revoke your proxy by:

1. Delivering a written revocation to MetroPCS's Corporate Secretary, at its principal executive office, located at 2250 Lakeside Boulevard, Richardson, Texas 75082 or to Innisfree M&A Incorporated, at 501 Madison Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10022;
2. Submitting another valid proxy card with a later date;
3. Voting by submitting a proxy by telephone or Internet prior to the April 24^th Special Meeting; or
4. Attending the April 24^th Special Meeting in person and giving MetroPCS's Inspector of Elections notice of your intent to vote your shares in person.

If your shares are held in street name, you must contact the record holder of your PCS common stock in order to revoke your proxy or follow the voting instructions provided by the record holder. 

Your latest-dated proxy is the only one that counts.  You do not need to contact the PSAM Group in order to revoke any previously granted proxy you may have given by submitting a WHITE proxy card; your submission of your vote via the instructions in the GREEN proxy card provided by MetroPCS is sufficient to revoke your WHITE proxy card.
