<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our certificate of incorporation provides for 100,000,000 shares of

held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not
have any cumulative voting rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any
series of our preferred stock (described below), holders of common stock are
entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of
directors out of funds legally available therefore. Holders of shares of common
stock have no preemptive or other similar rights. If we liquidate, dissolve or
wind up, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in
the assets which are legally available for distribution, if any, remaining
after the payment or provision for the payment of all debts and other
liabilities.</font></p>

issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless stockholder action
is required by applicable law or the rules&nbsp;of any stock exchange or

the approval of our stockholders is not required for the issuance of shares of
our common stock, our board of directors may determine not to seek stockholder
approval.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to
establish one or more series of preferred stock and to determine, with respect
to any series of preferred stock so established, the terms and rights of such
series. The authorized shares of our preferred stock will be available for
issuance without further action by our stockholders provided (1)&nbsp;the
primary purpose of the issuance is to raise capital or to facilitate an
acquisition or similar strategic corporate transaction, and not to implement a
takeover defense measure, such as a stockholder rights plan, or to otherwise
have an anti-takeover effect and (2)&nbsp;stockholder action is not required by
applicable law or the rules&nbsp;of any stock exchange or automated quotation
system on which our securities may be listed or traded. If the approval of our
stockholders is not required for the issuance of shares of our preferred stock,
our board of directors may determine not to seek stockholder approval.</font></p>

preferred stock for the primary purpose of raising capital or facilitating an
acquisition or similar strategic corporate transaction, but having terms that
could discourage an acquisition attempt through which an acquiror may be able
to change the composition of our board of directors, including a tender offer
or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe
to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium
for their stock over the then current market price of such stock.</font></p>

required by law, special meetings of our stockholders for any purpose or

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to
make nominations of candidates for election or to bring other business before
an annual meeting of our stockholders. Our stockholder notice procedure
provides that only persons who are nominated by, or at the direction of, our
chairman of the board, or by a stockholder who has given timely written notice
to our secretary prior to the meeting at which directors are to be elected,
will be eligible for election as our directors. Our stockholder notice
procedure also provides that at an annual meeting, only such business may be
conducted as has been brought before the meeting by, or at the direction of,
our chairman of the board or our board, or by a stockholder who has given
timely written notice to our secretary of such stockholder&#146;s intention to bring
such business before the meeting. Under our stockholder notice procedure, for
notice of stockholder nominations to be made at an annual meeting to be timely,
such notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal
executive offices not less than 90 calendar days and not more than 120 calendar
days prior to the anniversary date of our preceding annual meeting of
stockholders, except that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the
previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within
25&nbsp;days before or after the anniversary date of the previous year&#146;s annual
meeting, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be received not
later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which
notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public announcement in a
press release or in a filing with the SEC of the date of the meeting is first
made by us, whichever occurs first.</font></p>

notice to us proposing to nominate a person for election as a director or
relating to the conduct of business other than the nomination of directors must
contain the information required by our bylaws. If the chairman of a meeting
determines that an individual was not nominated, or other business was not
brought before the meeting, in accordance with our stockholder notice
procedure, the individual will not be eligible for election as a director, or
the business will not be conducted at the meeting, as the case may be.</font></p>

a corporation may indemnify any current or former director, officer or employee
or agent against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative actions or proceedings,
other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if the
director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or
she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of the actions, and the statute
requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The
statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a corporation&#146;s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder
vote, agreement or otherwise.</font></p>

to be made a party to any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or

as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent
or similar functionary or any foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other

authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended. Such rights are not exclusive of any other right that any
person may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the

This
Registration Statement shall, in accordance with Rule 416 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), be deemed to cover
such additional shares as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from
stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
(2)
Estimated
solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee
pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (h) of Rule 457 under the
Securities Act.  Such offering prices are
calculated on the basis of the (i) exercise prices of options to purchase
598,962 shares of iPCS, Inc. common stock which have been granted and as
to which the offering price has been determined under the Horizon PCS 2004
Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, as adjusted by the exchange ratio provided by
the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 17, 2005,
by and between the registrant and Horizon PCS, Inc. and (ii) average
of the high and low prices as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on July 8,
2005 with respect to 163,265 shares of iPCS, Inc. common stock for which
awards have not been granted.
Explanatory Note
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of March 17, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and between the
registrant and Horizon PCS, Inc. ("Horizon PCS"), on July 1, 2005,
Horizon PCS merged with and into the registrant, with the registrant being the
surviving corporation (the "Merger"). 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding option to purchase
Horizon PCS common stock granted under the Horizon 2004 Stock Incentive Plan,
as amended (the "Horizon Plan") that was outstanding and unexercised
immediately prior to the Merger was, at the effective time of the Merger,
automatically converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of common
stock of the registrant equal to the product of the number of shares of Horizon
PCS common stock covered by the option and 0.7725, with any fractional amount
rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal
to the exercise price per share under the Horizon Plan divided by 0.7725,
rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Our certificate of incorporation provides for 100,000,000 shares of
authorized capital stock, consisting of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.01 per share.
As of July 8, 2005, there were 16,042,796 shares of our common
stock and no shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding.
The securities to be offered pursuant to the Horizon Plan are 762,227
shares of our common stock, plus any additional shares as may be issued to
prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not
have any cumulative voting rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any
series of our preferred stock (described below), holders of common stock are
entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of
directors out of funds legally available therefore. Holders of shares of common
stock have no preemptive or other similar rights. If we liquidate, dissolve or
wind up, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in
the assets which are legally available for distribution, if any, remaining
after the payment or provision for the payment of all debts and other
liabilities.
The authorized shares of our common stock will be available for
issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless stockholder action
is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or
automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. If
the approval of our stockholders is not required for the issuance of shares of
our common stock, our board of directors may determine not to seek stockholder
approval.
The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are
subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of
shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the
future.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to
establish one or more series of preferred stock and to determine, with respect
to any series of preferred stock so established, the terms and rights of such
series. The authorized shares of our preferred stock will be available for
issuance without further action by our stockholders provided (1) the
primary purpose of the issuance is to raise capital or to facilitate an
acquisition or similar strategic corporate transaction, and not to implement a
takeover defense measure, such as a stockholder rights plan, or to otherwise
have an anti-takeover effect and (2) stockholder action is not required by
applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation
system on which our securities may be listed or traded. If the approval of our
stockholders is not required for the issuance of shares of our preferred stock,
our board of directors may determine not to seek stockholder approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our board of directors could issue
preferred stock for the primary purpose of raising capital or facilitating an
acquisition or similar strategic corporate transaction, but having terms that
could discourage an acquisition attempt through which an acquiror may be able
to change the composition of our board of directors, including a tender offer
or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe
to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium
for their stock over the then current market price of such stock.
3
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
No Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that any action
required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a
duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be
effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. Except as otherwise
required by law, special meetings of our stockholders for any purpose or
purposes may be called only by (1) the chairman of our board of directors,
(2) our chief executive officer, (3) our president, (4) our
board of directors or (5) our stockholders holding at least 33
2
¤
3
%
of our voting stock. No business other than that stated in the notice may be
transacted at any special meeting. These provisions may have the effect of
delaying consideration of a stockholder proposal until the next annual meeting,
unless a special meeting is called as described above.
Advance Notice Procedures
Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to
make nominations of candidates for election or to bring other business before
an annual meeting of our stockholders. Our stockholder notice procedure
provides that only persons who are nominated by, or at the direction of, our
chairman of the board, or by a stockholder who has given timely written notice
to our secretary prior to the meeting at which directors are to be elected,
will be eligible for election as our directors. Our stockholder notice
procedure also provides that at an annual meeting, only such business may be
conducted as has been brought before the meeting by, or at the direction of,
our chairman of the board or our board, or by a stockholder who has given
timely written notice to our secretary of such stockholder's intention to bring
such business before the meeting. Under our stockholder notice procedure, for
notice of stockholder nominations to be made at an annual meeting to be timely,
such notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal
executive offices not less than 90 calendar days and not more than 120 calendar
days prior to the anniversary date of our preceding annual meeting of
stockholders, except that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the
previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within
25 days before or after the anniversary date of the previous year's annual
meeting, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be received not
later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which
notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public announcement in a
press release or in a filing with the SEC of the date of the meeting is first
made by us, whichever occurs first.
In addition, under our stockholder notice procedure, a stockholder's
notice to us proposing to nominate a person for election as a director or
relating to the conduct of business other than the nomination of directors must
contain the information required by our bylaws. If the chairman of a meeting
determines that an individual was not nominated, or other business was not
brought before the meeting, in accordance with our stockholder notice
procedure, the individual will not be eligible for election as a director, or
the business will not be conducted at the meeting, as the case may be.
Delaware Business Combination Statute
We are a Delaware corporation. Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law provides that, subject to exceptions set forth therein, an
interested stockholder of a Delaware corporation shall not engage in any
business combination, including mergers or consolidations or acquisitions of
additional shares of the corporation, with the corporation for a three-year
period following the date that the stockholder becomes an interested
stockholder unless:
•
prior
to that date, the board of directors of the
corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
•
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted
in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested
stockholder owned at least 85 percent of the voting stock of the
corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than
statutorily excluded shares; or
•
on or subsequent to such date, the business
combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and
authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative
vote of at least 66
2
¤
3
percent
of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested
stockholder.
Except as otherwise set forth in Section 203, an interested
stockholder is defined to include:
4
•
any person that is the owner of 15 percent or
more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or is an affiliate or
associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15 percent or more of
the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three years
immediately prior to the date of determination; and
•
the
affiliates and associates of any such person.
Section 203 may make it more difficult for a person who would be
an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with us for a
three-year period. We have not elected to be exempt from the restrictions
imposed under Section 203. The provisions of Section 203 may
encourage persons interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our
board of directors, as the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if
a majority of the directors then in office approves either the business
combination or the transaction that results in any such person becoming an
interested stockholder. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing
changes in our management. It is possible that such provisions could make it
more difficult to accomplish transactions that our stockholders may otherwise
deem to be in their best interests.
Bank of New York is the transfer agent and registrar of our common
stock.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
We have agreed to indemnify and hold KPMG LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, harmless against and from any and all legal
costs and expenses incurred by KPMG in its successful defense of any legal
action or proceeding that arises as a result of KPMG's consent to the
incorporation by reference of its audit report on our past financial statements
in this registration statement.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
a corporation may indemnify any current or former director, officer or employee
or agent against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative actions or proceedings,
other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if the
director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or
she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of the actions, and the statute
requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The
statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a corporation's bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder
vote, agreement or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that each person who was or is made or is threatened
to be made a party to any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was a director or officer of us or is or was serving at our request
as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent
or similar functionary or any foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other
enterprise, will be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended. Such rights are not exclusive of any other right that any
person may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the
certificate, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation also specifically authorizes us
to maintain insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights to our
employees or agents.
Consistent with the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate
of incorporation provides that our directors shall not be personally liable to
the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:
•
any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or
our stockholders;
•
facts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
payments
of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases
or redemptions; or
•
any
transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
5
Neither the amendment nor repeal of the provision will eliminate or
reduce the effect of the provision in respect of any matter occurring, or any
cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this provision, would accrue or
arise prior to the amendment or repeal.
Item 7.
Exemption from
Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
A list of Exhibits to this Registration Statement is set forth in the Exhibit Index
following the signature pages hereto.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The
Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3)
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit
6
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
