Summary
Globalstar, Inc. has completed the sale of $200 million in 13% Senior Notes due 2029. These notes were issued at a discount (95% of principal) and carry a significant interest rate of 13% per annum, with 6.5% payable in cash and 6.5% as Paid-In-Kind (PIK) interest, which can be added to the principal. The proceeds from this offering were primarily used to repay outstanding debt under the 2019 Facility Agreement, totaling approximately $148 million, and for general corporate purposes. Following the debt repayment and release of previous liens, Globalstar entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. This new agreement grants a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's and its domestic subsidiaries' assets to secure obligations under previously disclosed Partnership Agreements. Investors should note the high coupon rate and the collateralization of assets, which indicates a potentially higher risk profile but also a commitment to fulfilling these new obligations.
