CLEARWIRE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

The following table lists the voting interests in Clearwire as of December 31, 2011:

______________________________________

Intel, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House, collectively, whom we refer to as the Strategic Investors, and Sprint own shares of Class B Common Stock,

which have equal voting rights to Clearwire’s Class A Common Stock, but have only limited economic rights. Unlike the holders of Class A Common Stock, the holders

of Class B Common Stock have no right to dividends and no right to any proceeds on liquidation other than the par value of the Class B Common Stock. Sprint and the

Strategic Investors hold their economic rights through ownership of Class B Common Interests. Google Inc., which we refer to as Google, owns shares of Class A

Common Stock.

Clearwire Communications Interests

Clearwire is the sole holder of voting interests in Clearwire Communications. As such, Clearwire controls 100% of the decision making of Clearwire

Communications and consolidates 100% of its operations. Clearwire also holds all of the outstanding Clearwire Communications Class A common interests representing

33% of the economics of Clearwire Communications as of December 31, 2011. The holders of the Class B Common Interests own the remaining 67% of the economic

interests. It is intended that at all times, the number of Clearwire Communications Class A Common Interests held by Clearwire will equal the number of shares of

Class A Common Stock issued by Clearwire.

The non-voting Clearwire Communication units are designated as either Clearwire Communications Class A common interests, all of which are held by Clearwire,

or Class B Common Interests, which are held by Sprint and the Strategic Investors. Both classes of non-voting Clearwire Communication units participate in distributions

of Clearwire Communications on an equal and proportionate basis.
