Sprint initially offered $2.97 per share for Clearwire. However, after concern over the valuation from shareholders and an unsolicited bid from Dish, Sprint changed its tune and upped its offer to $5 per share. Dish bowed out after the carrier upped its bid.

The deal’s closure comes just a day after Clearwire shareholders overwhelmingly voted to approve the deal.

Clearwire offers a nationwide wireless broadband network and has a retail business that offers wireless broadband service to consumers. Sprint wanted to buy out the other Clearwire shareholders to roll the company into its own business. Meanwhile, Japan’s Softbank has been working to acquire Sprint since October.
