Globalstar, Inc. 8-K Report, Shareholder Vote Results (Dec 19, 2024)

Filed December 19, 2024For Securities:GSAT

Summary

Globalstar, Inc. has filed an 8-K detailing significant corporate actions approved by written consent of a majority shareholder. The company's Executive Chairman and his affiliates, holding approximately 58% of the voting power, have approved amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation. These amendments authorize a reverse stock split of the common stock, with a ratio to be determined between 1-for-10 and 1-for-25. Concurrently, the authorized number of common shares will be reduced proportionally to the reverse stock split. The decision to implement these changes, including the specific ratio, rests with the Authorized Officers in conjunction with the Board, and must occur no earlier than 20 days after an information statement is filed and no later than December 17, 2025. These corporate actions are primarily aimed at addressing the company's stock price and potentially meeting exchange listing requirements, which often have minimum price thresholds. Investors should note that while the approval has been granted, the implementation timeline and exact ratio are still to be decided. The filing of a Schedule 14C information statement will precede any actual execution of the reverse stock split and authorized share reduction, providing further details to shareholders.
