Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)-(2) of Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), this Schedule 13G is filed on behalf of Perry Satterlee (the Reporting Person) who, pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1), along with certain individuals and corporations (the Non-Reporting Persons) identified below, may be deemed as a group to have acquired beneficial ownership of the Class A Common Stock (the Class A Common Stock) and Class B Common Stock (the Class B Common Stock) of Nextel Partners, Inc. as a result of the Reporting Person and the Non-Reporting Persons being signatories to the Shareholders Agreement. The Reporting Person beneficially owns 0.8% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of Nextel Partners, Inc. Neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Person that a group exists within the meaning of the Exchange Act. The holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters in which they are entitled to vote. Based on information provided by Nextel WIP Corp., it owns 100% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock at any time on a one-for-one basis upon transfer to a person other than Nextel Communications, Inc. (NCI), a majority-owned NCI subsidiary or a person or entity controlling NCI. However, because such transfers are prohibited under the Shareholders Agreement and the Nextel Partners, Inc. Restated Certificate of Incorporation until January 29, 2011, this Schedule 13G assumes Nextel WIP Corp. does not currently have the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock.
