Senior executives at T-Mobile US have reportedly told parent company Deutsche Telekom that they do not support a proposed $300 billion merger between the two companies, citing shareholder resistance and potential regulatory hurdles, according to a Friday report from Semafor.
The report, which cited people familiar with the discussions, said T-Mobile's leadership believes the deal could face significant opposition from investors and U.S. regulators, making it difficult to complete.
Several of T-Mobile's non-controlling shareholders, including major institutional investors, have reportedly informed the wireless carrier that they would oppose the merger if it moves forward. Their concerns have added to growing uncertainty surrounding the proposal.
According to Semafor, T-Mobile executives also received indications from U.S. government officials that regulators would likely require assurances that the company's U.S.-generated revenue remains in the country. Such conditions could include commitments to reinvest earnings domestically rather than transferring value overseas.
The potential regulatory demands reflect heightened scrutiny of large cross-border transactions involving critical telecommunications infrastructure and nationally significant assets.
Following the report, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) shares fell about 0.9% in trading. Deutsche Telekom's U.S.-listed ADRs recovered some of their earlier losses but remained down roughly 0.9% on the day.
Deutsche Telekom is already the controlling shareholder of T-Mobile US, making any full combination subject to both shareholder approval and extensive regulatory review. While no official announcement has been made regarding the proposed transaction, the reported lack of support from T-Mobile's executive team and key investors raises fresh questions about whether the merger can advance.
If confirmed, the opposition could significantly complicate Deutsche Telekom's efforts to pursue one of the largest telecommunications deals in recent years, as regulatory oversight and investor sentiment continue to play a critical role in shaping major corporate mergers.
