Mobile Satellite Services Business Through its global satellite network, Globalstar, Inc. (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) provides Mobile Satellite Services (“MSS”), including voice and data communications services to retail, business and governmental customers as well as wholesale satellite capacity services. We offer these services over our network of in-orbit satellites and ground stations (“gateways”) pursuant to our spectrum licenses, which we refer to collectively as the Globalstar System. In addition to supporting Internet of Things ("IoT") data transmissions in a variety of applications, we provide reliable connectivity in areas not served or underserved by terrestrial wireless and wireline networks and in circumstances where terrestrial networks are not operational due to natural or man-made disasters. By providing global mobile satellite communications services, we aim to meet our customers' increasing desire for connectivity. 3 Business Strategy Our competitive advantages are leveraged through our ability to deliver communications products and services, wholesale satellite capacity services, government services, and terrestrial spectrum and network solutions. These core competencies are outlined below. Communications Products and Services We currently provide the following communications products and services to our MSS subscribers: • data transmissions using a mobile or fixed device that transmits the location of the devices and other information to a central monitoring station, including our commercial IoT products ("Commercial IoT"); • communication and data transmissions using our SPOT family of mobile devices that transmit messages and the location of the device ("SPOT"); and • voice communication and data transmissions ("Duplex"). We compete aggressively on price and strive to differentiate the products and solutions that we offer to our customers. As technological advancements are made, we continue to explore opportunities to develop new products and provide new services over the Globalstar System to meet the needs of our existing and prospective customers. In October 2025, we released the RM200M two-way module, designed to integrate into IoT and industrial solutions. Our current initiatives are focused in part on further investment and development of Commercial IoT-enabled devices, including a two-way reference design module and finished products with satellite only and multimode capabilities. Wholesale Satellite Capacity Services Wholesale satellite capacity services include satellite network access and related services over the Globalstar System. We provide certain services to Apple Inc. (the "Customer") pursuant to a service agreement and certain related ancillary agreements (collectively, the "Service Agreements"). In October 2024, we agreed to make certain amendments to the Service Agreements and entered into other related agreements with the Customer (the Service Agreements, as amended, collectively, the "Updated Services Agreements") to deliver expanded services over a new MSS network, including a new satellite constellation, expanded ground infrastructure, and increased global MSS licensing (collectively the "Extended MSS Network"). The Updated Services Agreements generally require us to allocate network capacity to support the services we provide to the Customer and for the Customer to enable Band 53/n53 for use in cellular-enabled devices designated by the Customer for use with our services. For additional information about the Updated Services Agreements, see Note 2: Special Purpose Entity to our Consolidated Financial Statements. As consideration for the services provided by us to the Customer under the Updated Services Agreements, payments to us include a fixed service fee, fees relating to certain service-related operating expenses and capital expenditures, additional fees related to expanded services, and potential bonus payments subject to satisfaction of certain licensing, service and related criteria. We retain 15% of our current and future network capacity to support our other customers, including our existing and future Commercial IoT, SPOT and Duplex subscribers. We believe that this capacity can support a substantial increase in our own subscriber base. This retained satellite capacity can be used by us directly or through additional wholesale customer opportunities.…
