Note 13 — Subsequent Event

On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to combine with Connect Topco Limited, a private company limited by shares and incorporated in Guernsey (Inmarsat), with the shareholders of Inmarsat and certain management and employees who hold options and shares of a wholly owned subsidiary of Inmarsat whose options and shares will be exchanged for shares of Inmarsat prior to closing (collectively, the Sellers). Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company will purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Inmarsat from the Sellers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement.

The total consideration payable by the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement consists of $850.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments, and approximately 46.36 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and clearances, and approval by the stockholders of the Company of the issuance of shares in the transaction and an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance. The Share Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and certain of the Sellers and further provides that, upon termination of the Share Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay a termination fee of up to $200.0 million or to reimburse certain out-of-pocket expenses of certain Sellers up to $40.0 million.

The Company has obtained financing commitments for $2.3 billion of new debt facilities in connection with the transaction. The Company also plans to assume $2.1 billion in principal amount of Inmarsat senior secured bonds and $1.7 billion outstanding under Inmarsat’s $2.4 billion senior secured credit facilities. The Company has also obtained commitments of $3.2 billion to backstop certain amendments required under the Credit Facilities and Inmarsat’s $2.4 billion senior secured credit facilities.

Additional information regarding the proposed transaction and Share Purchase Agreement is contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 8, 2021.
