An industry first, T-Mobile and Lookout will provide customers with
exclusive service: Out-of-the-box protection against application malware
and viruses
Today, T-Mobile USA, Inc. and Lookout Inc., the leader in mobile
security, announced the companies have partnered to provide T-Mobile
customers instant protection against mobile threats with Automatic App
Security. Exclusively for T-Mobile customers, Lookout's Automatic App
Security will come preloaded on select devices this year and is expected
on most Android? devices in 2013, securing smartphones and
tablets right out of the box for free.
"T-Mobile wants our customers to enjoy the full benefits of the
smartphone or tablet experience, including worry-free access to
applications, which is why we are taking extra measures to protect their
devices, privacy and data," said Ian McKerlich, vice president of
product management, T-Mobile USA. "Lookout already scans more than 36
million applications for T-Mobile customers every day. Preloading
Automatic App Security on our devices allows even more customers to
enjoy the security and peace of mind of knowing that they're protected
with the leading Android mobile security and antivirus app."
"As we rely more on our mobile devices, for everything from business to
social to banking, it is increasingly important that we protect them
from threats," said John Hering, CEO of Lookout. "Mobile security is a
priority for T-Mobile, and we are excited to work with them on keeping
people everywhere safe on their favorite devices. Automatic App Security
is just one way that T-Mobile is making mobile security simple."
Since Automatic App Security is preloaded, T-Mobile customers are
protected as soon as the device is turned on. There is no setup or
registration required to safeguard the device. Lookout will scan all
applications upon download, in addition to providing weekly scans for
potential threats, using its Mobile Threat Network, the world's largest
database of applications. The user will be notified if the application
is determined to be safe or not. If an application is identified as
potentially harmful, Lookout will provide information and instructions
on how to protect against the threat or uninstall the application.
With Automatic App Security, T-Mobile customers should receive an
improved overall wireless experience -- at no additional charge. The LG
Optimus L9 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab® 2 10.1 will be the
first devices preloaded with Automatic App Security when it is available
in the coming weeks. Existing T-Mobile customers can enjoy the same
benefits by either registering the version of Lookout that's preloaded
on their Android devices or by downloading it from the T-Mobile Picks
section of Google
Play.
Automatic App Security from Lookout is added security against mobile
threats for T-Mobile customers. In addition, customers will have access
to security with the Lookout Mobile Security app, which will come
preloaded on most T-Mobile Android devices. The Lookout Mobile Security
app provides free award-winning protection from spyware and malware,
provides the ability to back up and restore contacts, and finds a
missing device with custom SCREAM? Tones, even when the
ringer is off. Lookout Premium, which offers additional protection,
including the ability to back up photos, remotely lock devices and wipe

information, is available on compatible devices for only $2.99 per month
(plus taxes).

current views of Deutsche Telekom management with respect to future
events. These forward-looking statements may include statements with
regard to the expected development of revenue, earnings, profits from
operations, depreciation and amortization, cash flows and
personnel-related measures. You should consider them with caution. Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are
difficult to predict and are generally beyond Deutsche Telekom's
control. Among the factors that might influence our ability to achieve
our objectives are the progress of our workforce reduction initiative
and other cost-saving measures, and the impact of other significant
strategic, labor or business initiatives, including acquisitions,
dispositions and business combinations, and our network upgrade and
expansion initiatives. In addition, stronger than expected competition,
technological change, legal proceedings and regulatory developments,
among other factors, may have a material adverse effect on our costs and
revenue development. Further, the economic downturn in our markets, and
changes in interest and currency exchange rates, may also have an impact
on our business development and the availability of financing on
favorable conditions. Changes to our expectations concerning future cash
flows may lead to impairment write downs of assets carried at historical
cost, which may materially affect our results at the group and operating
segment levels. If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize,
or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove
incorrect, our actual performance may materially differ from the
performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We can
offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will be achieved.
Without prejudice to existing obligations under capital market law, we
do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements to
take new information or future events into account or otherwise.

including, among others, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA,

considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information
prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP financial performance
measures are not subject to IFRS or any other generally accepted
accounting principles. Other companies may define these terms in
different ways.
