NII Holdings Value Stock - Dividend - Research Selection

We were originally organized in 1995 as a holding company for the operations of Nextel Communications, Inc. in selected international markets. The corporation that is currently known as NII Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 2000 as Nextel International, Inc. In December 2001, we changed our name from Nextel International, Inc. to NII Holdings, Inc. Our principal executive office is located at 1875 Explorer Street, Suite 800, Reston, Virginia 20190. Our telephone number at that location is (703) 390-5100. Unless the context requires otherwise, “NII Holdings, Inc.,” “NII Holdings,” “we,” “our,” “us” and “the Company” refer to the combined businesses of NII Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to our wholly-owned Brazilian operating company, Nextel Telecomunicações Ltda., as Nextel Brazil. Nextel Brazil's operations are headquartered in São Paulo, with branch offices in Rio de Janeiro and various other cities in Brazil.

Except as otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in United States, or U.S., dollars and references to “dollars” and “$” are to U.S. dollars. All historical financial statements contained in this report are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.

Emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings. On September 15, 2014, we and eight of our U.S. and Luxembourg-domiciled subsidiaries, including NII Capital Corp. and NII International Telecom, S.C.A., or NIIT, filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which we refer to as Chapter 11, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which we refer to as the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, subsequent to September 15, 2014, five additional subsidiaries of NII Holdings filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. We refer to the companies that filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 collectively as the Debtors. Nextel Brazil and our previous other operating subsidiaries in Latin America were not Debtors in these Chapter 11 cases.

As described in more detail in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, on June 19, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the Plan of Reorganization. On June 26, 2015, the conditions of the Bankruptcy Court's order and the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied, the Plan of Reorganization became effective, and we and the other Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 proceedings.

In accordance with the requirements of reorganization accounting, NII Holdings adopted the provisions of fresh start accounting as of June 30, 2015 and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to the "Successor Company" relate to NII Holdings on or subsequent to June 30, 2015. References to the "Predecessor Company" relate to NII Holdings prior to June 30, 2015. For purposes of comparison to the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2014, we combined the results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2015 with the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015. However, as a result of the application of fresh start accounting and other events related to our reorganization under Chapter 11, the Successor Company's financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are prepared under a new basis of accounting and are not directly comparable to the Predecessor Company's financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For the same reasons, our results of operations for the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015 are not fully comparable to our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2014.

Divestitures. On January 27, 2016, two of our indirect subsidiaries completed the sale of our Argentine operations to Grupo Clarin. The transaction was structured as a sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Communications Argentina, S.R.L., or Nextel Argentina, for an aggregate purchase price of $178.0 million.

On April 30, 2015, we, together with one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, completed the sale of our Mexican operations to New Cingular Wireless, an indirect subsidiary of AT&T. The transaction was structured as a sale of all the outstanding stock of the parent company of Comunicaciones Nextel de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., or Nextel Mexico, for a purchase price of $1.875 billion, including $187.5 million deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims. The net proceeds of the sale were $1.448 billion after deducting Nextel Mexico's outstanding indebtedness and applying other specified price adjustments.

In August 2014, three of our wholly-owned subsidiaries completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests in our wholly-owned subsidiary Nextel Chile, S.A., or Nextel Chile, to Fucata, S.A., a venture comprised of Grupo Veintitres and Optimum Advisors for a de minimus amount.

In August 2013, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests in our wholly-owned subsidiary Nextel del Peru, S.A., or Nextel Peru, to Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones S.A. and one of its subsidiaries, Entel Inversiones, S.A., which we refer to collectively as Entel.

As a result of the sales of Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico, Nextel Chile and Nextel Peru, we are allocating almost all of our financial and other resources to our operations in Brazil.
