Explanation of Responses:
1. Pursuant to a reclassification exempt under Rule 16b-7, on April 23, 2004, each share of Issuer's PCS common stock and each derivative or right in respect of a share of Issuer's PCS common stock was reclassified into 1/2 share of Issuer's FON common stock or a derivative or right in respect of 1/2 share of Issuer's FON common stock.
2. These shares are being sold to address certain personal tax obligations.
3. These share units are issued under Sprint's 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Program. Each unit represents the right to receive one share of the underlying security at a date in the future, unless the reporting person elects to have the underlying security delivered at a later delivery date.
