Material Changes and Transaction Structure
NextNav Inc. and its subsidiary Progeny LMS, LLC entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Telesaurus Holdings GB and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation. The transaction involves the acquisition of:
- Multilateration Location and Monitoring Service (M-LMS) licenses issued by the FCC.
- Rights to a petition for reconsideration regarding additional M-LMS licenses terminated in 2017.
Closing Conditions: The transaction is subject to customary conditions, approval by the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, and final FCC approval for the transfer of licenses.
Payment Terms: Consideration is a mix of cash and NextNav common stock. Stock issuance is based on the 20-day trailing VWAP calculated one trading day prior to issuance.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Regulatory Contingencies: The closing and full payment of the transaction are contingent upon FCC approval and Alameda Court approval. The potential $20,000,000 additional payment is contingent on the FCC granting additional flexibility in spectrum use.
Unregistered Securities: The issuance of shares for the transaction relies on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.
Registration Rights: NextNav has agreed to file registration statements for the shares issued as consideration.
Management Commentary: The filing notes that representations and warranties in the agreement are for allocating contractual risk and should not be relied upon as characterizations of actual facts by investors.
