Forward-Looking Statements

This release, and other written and oral statements made by Clearwire
from time to time, contain forward-looking statements which are based
on management's current expectations and beliefs, as well as on a
number of assumptions concerning future events made with information
that is currently available. Forward-looking statements may include,
without limitation, management's expectations regarding future
financial and operating performance and financial condition; proposed
transactions; network development and market launch plans; strategic
plans and objectives; industry conditions; the strength of the balance
sheet; and liquidity and financing needs. The words "will," "would,"
"may," "should," "estimate," "project," "forecast," "intend," "expect,"
"believe," "target," "designed," "plan" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned
not to put undue reliance on such forward- looking statements, which
are not a guarantee of performance and are subject to a number of
uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of
Clearwire's control, which could cause actual results to differ
materially and adversely from such statements. Some factors that could
cause actual results to differ are:


  -- We have a history of operating losses, and we expect to continue to
     realize significant net losses for the foreseeable future.
  -- If our business fails to perform as we expect or if we incur unforeseen
     expenses in the near term, we will require additional capital to fund our
     current business. Also, we will need substantial additional capital over
     the intermediate and long-term. Such additional capital may not be
     available on acceptable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain additional
     capital, our business prospects, financial condition and results of
     operations will likely be materially and adversely affected, and we will
     be forced to consider all available alternatives.
  -- Our current plans and projections are based on a number of assumptions
     about our future performance, which may prove to be inaccurate, such as
     our ability to substantially expand our wholesale business and implement
     various cost savings initiatives.
  -- Our business has become increasingly dependent on our wholesale partners,
     and Sprint in particular. If we do not receive the amount of revenues we
     expect from existing wholesale partners or if we are unable to enter into
     new agreements with additional wholesale partners for new wholesale
     commitments, our business prospects, results of operations, and financial
     condition could be adversely affected, or we could be forced to consider
     all available alternatives.
  -- We regularly evaluate our plans, and we may elect to pursue new or
     alternative strategies which we believe would be beneficial to our
     business, including among other things, expanding our network coverage to
     new markets, augmenting our network coverage in existing markets,
     changing our sales and marketing strategy, and/or acquiring additional
     spectrum. Such modifications to our plans could significantly change our
     capital requirements.
  -- We believe we will need to deploy LTE on our wireless broadband network,
     alongside mobile WiMAX, to be able to continue to operate in the long
     term. We will incur significant costs to deploy such technology, and we
     will need to raise substantial additional capital to cover such costs.
     Additionally, LTE technology, or other alternative technologies that we
     may consider, may not perform as we expect on our network, and deploying
     such technologies would result in additional risks to the company,
     including uncertainty regarding our ability to successfully add a new
     technology to our current network and to operate dual technology networks
     without disruptions to customer service, as well as our ability to
     generate new wholesale customers for the new network.
  -- We currently depend on our commercial partners to develop and deliver the
     equipment for our legacy and mobile WiMAX networks.
  -- Many of our competitors for our retail business are better established
     and have significantly greater resources, and may subsidize their
     competitive offerings with other products and services.
  -- Our substantial indebtedness and restrictive debt covenants could limit
     our financing options and liquidity position and may limit our ability to
     grow our business.
  -- Sprint owns just less than a majority of our common shares, is our
     largest shareholder, and has the contractual ability to obtain enough
     shares to hold the majority voting interest in the company, and Sprint
     may have, or may develop in the future, interests that may diverge from
     other stockholders.
  -- Future sales of large blocks of our common stock may adversely impact our
     stock price.

difference, please refer to Clearwire's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including the information under the heading "Risk
Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 22, 2011
and subsequent Form 10-Q filings. Clearwire assumes no obligation to
update or supplement such forward-looking statements.
