On April 14, 2011, the Board of Directors of Clearwire Corporation (the "Company") nominated Kathleen Rae to stand for election to the Board at the Company’s annual stockholders meeting (the “Annual Meeting”). Ms. Rae was nominated to a position on the Board by the Nominating and Governance Committee, to replace Peter Currie, who on April 13, 2011 informed the Board he would not be standing for re-election. It is expected that Ms. Rae will serve on the Audit Committee and will act as the Company’s designated “audit committee financial expert.” The Board also nominated Jennifer Vogel to stand for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Ms. Vogel was nominated to a position on the Board by Sprint Nextel Corporation ("Sprint"), to replace Frank Ianna, who will not be standing for re-election.
