Sprint Corp. is nearing an agreement on the price, capital structure and termination fee for an acquisition of T- Mobile US Inc. that could value the wireless carrier at almost $40 a share, people familiar with the matter said. Under the terms of the deal, T-Mobile majority owner Deutsche Telekom will trade its 67% stake for 15% of the merged business. The deal will also include a $1 billion breakup fee that Sprint will pay T-Mobile should the deal not go through. Overall, Sprint's purchase of T-Mobile would be a $50 billion deal, including debt.
