In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 31, 2012, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase iPhones from Apple Inc. Under the agreement, the Company has agreed to a three-year minimum purchase commitment currently estimated to be approximately $900 million, with annual commitments during such period that increase moderately in the second and third years. The three-year commitment period begins upon the Company’s launch of sales of the iPhone, currently expected to occur on June 22, 2012. The actual amount that the Company purchases over the term of the commitment will depend on many factors, including customer acceptance and availability of current and future versions of the device and costs for the device.
