This Registration Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
1,500,000 shares of Sprint Common Stock ("Sprint Common Stock") issuable under
the 1985 Stock Option Plan. The number of shares covered by the Registration
Statement was increased in connection with a two-for-one split of the Sprint
Common Stock in December 1989 and again in connection with the spin-off of
Sprint's cellular division in March 1996 to prevent dilution. The 256,166 shares
of Sprint Common Stock remaining under the Registration Statement at the time of
the reclassification of Sprint Common Stock into FON Stock and PCS Stock and the
conversion of the options into options to purchase FON Stock and PCS Stock in
November 1998, were reclassified into 256,166 shares of FON Stock and 128,083
shares of PCS Stock. Options for 85,635 shares of FON Stock were exercised
before the two-for-one split of the FON Stock in the 1999 second quarter,
leaving 170,531 shares of FON Stock. The two-for-one split of the FON Stock
increased the number of shares of FON Stock remaining under the Registration
Statement to 341,062 shares of FON Stock. Following the split of the FON Stock,
options for 196,276 shares of FON Stock were exercised. Options for 70,417
shares of PCS Stock were exercised before the two-for-one split of the PCS Stock
in the 2000 first quarter, leaving 57,666 shares of PCS Stock. The two-for-one
split of the PCS Stock increased the number of shares of PCS remaining under the
Registration Statement to 115,332 shares of PCS Stock. Following the split of
the PCS Stock, options for 42,920 shares of PCS Stock were exercised. No options
are outstanding and no additional options will be granted under the Plan.
Therefore, the Registration Statement is amended to deregister the remaining
144,786 shares of FON Stock and 72,412 shares of PCS Stock covered by this
Registration Statement.
