On May 9, 2023 (the “Initial Closing”), pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) and Indenture Agreement (the “Indenture”), the Company issued $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Original Notes”) with a fixed interest rate of 10% to a group of lenders (the “Lenders”) including Whitebox Advisors LLC, Susquehanna International Group, and Clutterbuck Capital Management. The Notes will mature on December 1, 2026 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay up to 50% of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes due with its common stock.

 

Under the NPA, the Lenders had the right, but not the obligation, to purchase additional Notes (the “Additional Notes” and, together with the Original Notes, the “Notes”), on a pro rata basis, in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, to be exercisable within 30 days of the Initial Closing. Subsequent to the Initial Closing, on June 8, 2023, the note purchasers elected to purchase such Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million in senior secured notes due 2026. The Additional Notes were issued on July 6, 2023.  The terms and conditions of the Additional Notes are the same as the Original Notes.

 

In conjunction with the issuance of Original Notes, the Company issued 18,518,520 warrants (the “Initial Warrants”) at an exercise price of $2.16 per share and with the issuance of the Additional Notes on July 6, 2023, the Company issued 7,407,407 warrants (the Additional Warrants,” and, together with the Initial Warrants, the “Debt Warrants”) at an exercise price of $2.16 per share to purchase Company’s common stock to the Lenders. The Company has the right to redeem for cash the applicable pro rata portion of any Debt Warrant on each of May 1, 2025, September 1, 2025 and December 1, 2025, in each case, at a redemption price of $0.01 per share of underlying common stock, where there exists both a Funding Shortfall (as defined in the Debt Warrants) and the market price of the underlying common stock, calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Debt Warrants, exceeds 130% of the exercise price of the Debt Warrants. The fair value of the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants was $14.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively, on the respective issuance date and was classified as debt discount. The fair value was determined based on no observable pricing inputs in the market and is categorized accordingly as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), registering the resale of the Debt Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Debt Warrants within 35 business days of the Initial Closing. The Company filed such registration statement with the SEC on June 23, 2023, which the SEC declared effective on June 29, 2023.

 

The carrying value of the Notes was $49.9 million as of March 31, 2024 net of debt discount of $20.1 million. Net amortization of the debt discount totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The total estimated fair value of the Notes approximates the carrying value of the Notes as of March 31, 2024. The fair value was determined based on no observable pricing inputs in the market and is categorized accordingly as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.


Additional Interests

 

The Notes are subject to additional interest of up to 0.50% per annum if (i) the Company fails to timely make certain required filings with the SEC, until such filings are made, or (ii) the Notes are not otherwise freely tradeable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

Redemption and Early Repayment 

 

The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 9, 2024 (the one year anniversary of the Initial Closing) at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

 

In the event of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, including sales of certain intellectual property or spectrum licensed by the FCC to the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company must make a mandatory repurchase offer for a portion of the Notes outstanding with the proceeds of such sale, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with accrued and unpaid interest, subject to certain thresholds and limitations set forth in the Indenture.

 

In the event of a change of control, each holder has the right, at such holder’s option and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of such holder’s Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount with accrued and unpaid interest.

 

Debt Covenant Compliance

 

The Notes are guaranteed on a first lien senior secured basis by NextNav’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. 

 

The Indenture contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments or other restricted payments; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions. The Indenture also contains customary events of default. Failure to comply with such covenants could result in an acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness outstanding and additional interest of up to 2.00% per annum under the Indenture.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the applicable debt covenants described above.
