Globalstar Announces Completion of Second Lien Warrant Exercise
March 30 2021 - 4:00PM
Business Wire
Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) today 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.
