Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

In August 2013, Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar”) entered into an agreement with Hughes Network Systems LLC, a subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation (‘‘Hughes’’), which allowed Hughes, at their sole option, to elect to receive shares of the Company’s voting common stock in lieu of cash related to certain milestone payments under Globalstar’s 2008 contract with Hughes for ground network equipment and software upgrades and satellite interface chips. On November 15, 2013, Hughes exercised an option to receive approximately $4.3 million in our voting common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, we are issuing our voting common stock to Hughes at a 7% discount based upon a trailing volume weighted average price calculation. On November 18, 2013, we issued 3,166,474 shares of voting common stock to Hughes at $1.35 per share in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Per the terms of the letter agreement, Globalstar will file a registration statement today covering the resale of up to $14,500,000 of voting common stock, equal to the value of all of the shares potentially issuable to Hughes under the agreement. Globalstar expects the registration process to be complete by early 2014.
