Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2013 (the “Form 8-K”), Globalstar, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 20, 2013, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “New Indenture”), relating to the issuance by the Company of approximately $54.6 million in 8.0% Convertible Senior Notes due April 1, 2028 (the “New Notes”).
In accordance with the terms of the New Indenture, on December 27, 2013, the Company caused all of its subsidiaries that guaranty the obligations of the Company’s senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) to execute and deliver to the Trustee a guaranty of the Company’s obligations under the New Notes in the form attached to the New Indenture. The subsidiaries’ obligations under the guaranty are subordinated to their obligations under their guaranty of the Facility.
A copy of the Guaranty Agreement was included in Exhibit 4.1 to the Form 8-K.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Pursuant to the previously announced Common Stock Purchase and Option Agreement between the Company, Thermo Funding Company LLC (“TFC”) and Thermo Funding II LLC (“TFII” and collectively with TFC, “Thermo”), the special committee of the Board of Directors exercised its option to require Thermo to invest an additional $13.5 million into the Company. On December 27, 2013, Thermo invested such amount and was issued 25,961,538 shares of non-voting common stock. In addition, the special committee has extended its option for Thermo to purchase up to $11.5 million of additional shares of non-voting common stock at a price equal to 85% of the average closing price of the voting common stock on the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of the special committee’s request until March 31, 2014.
The sale of shares of the Company’s common stock to Thermo pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase and Option Agreement is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act for transactions not involving a public offering. Thermo has agreed that the shares acquired by it are “restricted securities” and may not be transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an applicable exemption from registration.
