Business Description

Our Company We are building the first and only global Cellular Broadband network in space to be accessible directly by everyday smartphones (2G/4G-LTE/5G devices) for commercial use, and for other applications for government use utilizing our extensive intellectual property (“IP”) and patent portfolio. The SpaceMobile Service is being designed to provide cost-effective, high-speed Cellular Broadband services to end-users who are out of terrestrial cellular coverage using existing mobile devices. The SpaceMobile Service currently is planned to be provided by a constellation of high-powered, large phased-array satellites in LEO using low-band and mid-band spectrum controlled by MNOs. On March 22, 2025, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into certain definitive agreements with Ligado Networks LLC (“Ligado LLC”) and its subsidiaries for usage rights for mid-band spectrum, which were approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on June 23, 2025. Ligado’s Chapter 11 plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on or about September 29, 2025. Subject to the completion of certain conditions, including regulatory approval, as a result of the transaction with Ligado, we expect our network will be enhanced by our long-term access to up to 45 MHz of the lower mid-band satellite spectrum in the United States and Canada through our usage agreements. In addition, on September 25, 2025, we completed the acquisition of an entity that holds certain S-Band International Telecommunication Union (“ITU”) priority rights to Mobile Satellite Services frequencies in the range of 1980-2010 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz, for use in LEO. We expect the acquisition will further enhance our network by up to 60 MHz of mid-band satellite spectrum globally. We intend to work with MNOs to offer the SpaceMobile Service to the MNOs’ end-user customers. We currently have partnerships with over 50 MNOs with nearly 3 billion subscribers globally. Our vision is that users will not need to subscribe to the SpaceMobile Service directly through us, nor will they need to purchase any new or additional equipment. Instead, users will be able to access the SpaceMobile Service when prompted on their mobile device that they are no longer within range of the land-based facilities of the MNOs or will be able to purchase a plan directly with their existing mobile provider. We intend to seek to use a revenue-sharing business model for the SpaceMobile Service in our agreements with MNOs. The SpaceMobile Service is expected to be highly attractive to MNOs as it will enable them to improve and differentiate their service offering without significant incremental capital investments. The SpaceMobile Service is expected to enable MNOs to augment and extend their coverage without building towers or other land-based infrastructure, including where it is not cost-justified or is difficult due to geographical challenges. As a result of the incremental coverage created by the planned SpaceMobile Service, we believe that MNOs will have the opportunity to increase subscribers’ average revenue per user. We also intend to leverage our patented technology, including the large phased array and high power capability of our BlueBird (“BB”) satellites, for a variety of non-communication and communication applications in the government sector. To this end, we have entered into agreements with the United States (“U.S.”) government either directly or through prime contractors to perform certain tasks. On April 1, 2019, we launched our first test satellite, BlueWalker 1 (“BW1”), which was used to validate our satellite to cellular architecture and was capable of managing communications delays from LEO and the effects of doppler in a satellite to ground cellular environment using the 4G-LTE protocol. We launched our Blue Walker 3 (“BW3”) test satellite on September 10, 2022, and announced the completion of the deployment of the communications phased array antenna of the BW3 test satellite in orbit on November 14, 2022. Using the BW3 test satellite, we successfully completed two-way 5G voice calls directly to standard unmodified smartphones, achieved repeated successful download speeds of above 21 megabits per second (“Mbps”) to standard unmodified smartphones and spectral efficiency of approximately 3 bits per second per hertz.…
