MetroPCS
Communications, Inc. Announces Appointment of President and Chief Operating Officer
DALLAS (June 27, 2007) MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (NYSE:PCS), the nations leading
provider of flat rate unlimited wireless communications service with no signed contract, announced
today that it has appointed Mr. Thomas Keys to the new position of President and Chief Operating
Officer due to the need for Mr. Roger Linquist, MetroPCS Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman
of its Board, to cut back on his schedule for personal health reasons and the companys desire to
provide for succession planning for its Chief Executive Officer should Mr. Linquist retire. Mr.
Roger Linquist remains MetroPCS Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Mr. J. Braxton
Carter, the companys Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Mark A. Stachiw, the
companys Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary, continue to report to Mr.
Linquist. All of the other executive officers who reported to Mr. Linquist now report to Mr. Keys,
except Mr. John Olsen, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, who reports to Mr. Carter.
Mr. Keys will bring additional focus on MetroPCS day-to-day operations and to the future growth
of the company resulting from its recent acquisition of spectrum in Auction 66, which will allow me
to focus more on MetroPCS overall strategy, Mr. Linquist stated. Mr. Keys has a wealth of
experience which is important to running the day-to-day operations of the business and he was
instrumental in the highly successful launch of our Dallas-Ft. Worth metropolitan area, said Mr.
Linquist.
I am honored to be given this opportunity and look forward to the challenges of running the
day-to-day operations of MetroPCS, said Mr. Keys.
This is an important step in the evolution of MetroPCS and we look forward to the contributions
that we expect both Roger and Tom to continue to make to MetroPCS, said Arthur Patterson, a
director of MetroPCS since its founding.
Mr. Keys became MetroPCS Senior Vice President, Market Operations, West in January 2007.
Previously, Mr. Keys served as its Vice President and General Manager, Dallas from April 2005 until
January 2007. Prior to joining MetroPCS, Mr. Keys served as the President and Chief Operating
Officer for VCP International Inc., a Dallas-based wholesale distributor of wireless products, from
July 2002 to April 2005. Prior to joining VCP International Inc., Mr. Keys served as the Senior
Vice President, Business Sales for Weblink Wireless Inc. (formerly PageMart, Inc.) from March 1999
to June 2002, which included leading and managing the national sales and distribution efforts, and
in other senior management positions with Weblink Wireless Inc. from January 1993 to March 1999.
Mr. Linquist expects to be in a position by the end of the year to clarify his retirement plans.
The Board of Directors has launched both an internal and external search for Chief Executive
Officer candidates in the event that Mr. Linquist retires.
