Apr 02 (Nikkei) - T-Mobile US said on Wednesday it officially completed the merger with Sprint Corp, solidifying its position as the No.3 wireless providers in the U.S.
T-Mobile's long-time Chief Executive John Legere is stepping down from his position effective immediately as part of the deal.
Legere was originally set to leave at the end of April, with Mike Sievert, T-Mobile's president, as his successor. Legere will serve on T-Mobile's board of directors.
The combined company will now operate under the T-Mobile name and will trade on the NASDAQ as "TMUS."
Sprint acknowledged risks in an SEC filing, saying that its internal controls over financial reporting could negatively impact the combined company.
