Both SLDI, as the operating company, and Embarq Corporation, as the acquiring company, are financial capable to ensure quality services are provided to the residents of West Virginia. 4. Description of the transaction and the parties to the transaction. Commission approval is requested to transfer control of Sprint Long Distance, Inc. from its current parent company, Sprint Nextel Corporation (“Sprint Nextel”), to Embarq Corporation (“Embarq”). Petitioner requests expedited Commission approval of the proposed transaction no later than April 17,2006. The following is a description of the entities involved in the proposed transaction: Sprint Nextel Corporation. Sprint Nextel is a publicly-traded Kansas corporation with executive headquarters at 200 1 Edmund Halley Drive, Reston, Virginia 201 91 and operational 2 ~~ headquarters at 6200 Sprint Parkway, Overland Park, Kansas 6625 1.* Sprint Nextel is a global communications company providing wireless, long distance, and local communications services. Sprint Nextel’s ILECs provide a full portfolio of communications services, including local, long distance, high-speed data, wireless and video in approximately 18 states. Sprint has no ILEC operations in West Virginia. As of December 3 1,2004, Sprint Nextel’s ILEC operations served approximately 7.7 million local access lines in 18 states. Embarq Corporation. Embarq, a newly formed subsidiary of Sprint Nextel, is a Delaware corporation with its corporate headquarters in the Kansas City metropolitan area, at 5454 11 Ofh Street, Overland Park, Kansas 6621 1. Upon the transfer of control, Embarq will realize control of the Sprint ILEC entities in other states (Le., not in West Virginia) as well as SLDI in West Virginia. At that time, Embarq will operate independently from Sprint Nextel and will have its own management team and board of directors. Upon the separation from Sprint Nextel, Embarq is expected to be a NYSE-listed company with approximately $6 billion in annual revenues, rank among the Fortune 500 and serve as the fifth largest local communications company in the United States based on the company’s 7.4 million access lines as of September 30,2005. The company will provide a suite of communications services, consisting of local and long distance voice and data services, including high-speed Internet access. Sprint Long Distance, Inc. SLDI is a Delaware corporation with principal offices located at 6200 Sprint Parkway, Overland Park, Kansas 6625 1. SLDI is currently a wholly-owned ~~ On December 15,2004, Sprint Corporation and Nextel Communications, Inc. (Nextel) entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which, upon obtaining requisite Sprint and Nextel stockholder approval and satisfaction of the other conditions to the merger, Nextel would merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint. By letter filed February 16,2005, Sprint and Nextel advised this Commission of the planned merger, which did not require Commission approval. The conditions of the merger were satisfied and the merger closed on August 12,2005. The corporation’s new name is “Sprint Nextel Corporation.” In the merger agreement, Sprint and Nextel agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to separate the ILEC business of Sprint, by means of a tax-free spin-off to the then-existing stockholders of Sprint Nextel. 3 subsidiary-of~ Sprint Nextel. On March 10,2006, Sprint Long Distance, Inc. filed an Application for a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity to provide intrastate interexchange services in West Virginia. SLDI anticipates receiving its authorization to provide interexchange services in West Virginia in April, 2006. As discussed herein, SLDI has been created for the purpose of providing intrastate interexchange services for the customers of Embarq’s ILECs that have multi- state locations/offices (including in West Virginia). This transfer of control application is being filed in anticipation of SLDI receiving its authorization to provide services in West Virginia prior to the transfer of control taking place. 5. Terms and conditions of transfer and copy of any agreements. Sprint Nexte12 intends to separate its wireline local service operation into an independent, standalone operation. As part of that transaction, a new holding company, Embarq Corporation, has been created and control of the Sprint Nextel operating companies serving local customers - essentially, Sprint Nextel’s ILEC operations -- will be transferred to that holding company. The transfer of control of SLDI to Embarq is associated with, and an incidental aspect of the primary transfer of control of the Sprint Nextel ILECs (in other states) from Sprint Nextel to Embarq. For instance, SLDI is being established to provide long distance service to Embarq’s ILEC customers. Although Sprint Nextel does not have ILEC operations in West Virginia, in some cases, Sprint Nextel ILECs in other states serve business customers with multi-state offices, some of which are in West Virginia, and which require long distance services between or among On December 15,2004, Sprint Corporation and Nextel Communications, Inc.

The parties consider the underlying Agreement related to the transfer of control of the entities from Sprint Nextel to Embarq to be confidential. To the extent the Commission determines that more details regarding the terms of the transaction are necessary in order to approve the transaction, Applicants will provide the Commission with relevant additional information subject, as needed, to the terms of an acceptable Protective Order. 6. The effect of the proposed transaction upon the service of the parties thereto.

Because each company uses different sources to identify providers, we have separated the lists into two exhibits, one for Embarq and one for CenturyTel. Embarq’s provider list is compiled from five sources: (1) the MediaPrints database; (2) Ported Line Reports dating back to August 2006; (3) UNE LOOP & UNEP Reports; (4) internal wholesale reseller accounts; and (5) cell tower sites. CenturyTel’s provider list is compiled from four sources: (1) wholesale billing accounts; (2) internal marketing data; (3) Port Away reports dating back to December 2006; and (4) data from USAC.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 2005 (202) 514-2007 WWW.USDOJ.GOV TDD (202) 514-1888 STATEMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ANTITRUST DIVISION ON THE CLOSING OF THE INVESTIGATION OF SPRINT CORPORATION’S ACQUISITION OF NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS INC. Investigation Focused on Whether Merger of Two Mobile Wireless Carriers Would Lessen Competition WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division issued the following statement today after the Department announced the closing of its investigation into Sprint Corporation’s proposed acquisition of Nextel Communications Inc.: “The Division thoroughly investigated Sprint’s proposed acquisition of Nextel. Based on the facts, the Division found that the Sprint-Nextel merger would not give the companies market power in the areas in which they compete. Purchasers of mobile wireless services will continue to have a number of other carriers from which to choose after the merger. Although we did not find a need to challenge this merger to preserve competition, we did require divestitures in the recent ALLTEL-Western Wireless and Cingular Wireless-AT&T Wireless mergers, and we will continue to be vigilant in our enforcement of the antitrust laws with respect to any further proposed consolidation in this area. “The Division focused its investigation on mobile wireless telecommunications services that Sprint and Nextel currently offer, as well as on developing products such as advanced wireless broadband services where the companies are potential competitors. None of the theories of competitive harm that the Division considered were ultimately supported by the facts. The Division found no substantial proof that the merged company could unilaterally exercise market power postmerger or that there likely would be competitive harm from coordinated interaction among the merged company and other remaining providers.
