SAN DIEGO, Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Leap Wireless International, Inc. (NASDAQ: LEAP) announced today that it plans to release its fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial and operational results through the filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and does not plan to issue a separate earnings release or conduct an earnings conference call. The deadline for Leap to file its Form 10-K is March 17, 2014.

Leap plans to file its Form 10-K prior to the expected closing of its pending merger transaction with AT&T Inc., which Leap believes will be approved by federal regulators on or before the expiration of the FCC's informal 180-day shot clock on March 14, 2014.

Information regarding the merger transaction, including the contingent value rights to be issued to Leap stockholders in connection therewith, is set forth in Leap's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the proxy statement relating to the merger filed with the SEC on September 17, 2013.
