T-Mobile will acquire Mint Mobile, partly owned by actor Ryan Reynolds, as part of a cash-and-stock deal worth as much as $1.35 billion. T-Mobile’s purchase of Ka’ena Corp. will give it access to Mint, along with Ultra Mobile and wholesaler Plum. The brands, which already use T-Mobile for their network, will be run as a separate business unit. Ryan Reynolds said on Twitter that he never thought he’d own part of a wireless company and never expected to sell it to T-Mobile.
