Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) 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 David Thaler (the “Reporting Person”) who, pursuant
to Rule 13d-5(b)(1), prior to December 31, 2004, along with certain other individuals
and entities (the “Non-Reporting Persons”), may have been deemed as a group to have
acquired beneficial ownership of shares of 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. As of December 31, 2004, the Reporting Person
beneficially owns 0.5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of Nextel Partners,
Inc. and was no longer a party to the Shareholders Agreement. Therefore, as of
December 31, 2004, the Reporting Person’s holdings were less than 5% of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock. |
