Globalstar Announces
Completion of Second Lien Warrant Exercise
March 30, 2021
Globalstar, Inc.
announced that all remaining warrants issued to
its second lien lenders in November 2019 have
been exercised. These warrants were exercised
for shares of common stock resulting in total
proceeds to Globalstar of $47.3 million. This
equity issuance satisfies the Company’s
requirement in its loan agreements to raise a
minimum of $45 million of equity by March 30,
2021.
As required by the
Company’s debt agreements, these proceeds will
be used to pay principal outstanding under its
first lien loan agreement. Following this
payment, the remaining principal outstanding
under this agreement (net of restricted cash)
will be reduced to approximately $84 million, of
which $58 million is due on the final maturity
date of December 31, 2022.
Dave Kagan, Chief Executive
Officer, commented, "We are pleased to have this
milestone behind us and welcome our second lien
lenders as equity holders. While driving forward
several strategic initiatives, we continue to
meaningfully deliver our balance sheet. We are
on sound footing relative to our remaining debt
repayment obligations with less than $6 million
due in scheduled principal payments over the
next twelve months. Our solid liquidity position
as well as the recent positive developments
relative to both our satellite and terrestrial
spectrum assets should offer opportunities to
continue to improve the balance sheet, including
the opportunity to pursue a refinancing of the
second lien debt to reduce borrowing costs. This
is a very exciting time to be part of
Globalstar.”
The Company will file a
prospectus supplement concurrent with this
release to facilitate resale of the shares
issued to the warrant holders, other than
Thermo. This prospectus supplement does not
relate to any new financing, nor does it
indicate an intention of any holders to sell
their shares.
