Second Quarter Highlights  Built-out sales and marketing infrastructure in Brazil  Initiated expansion efforts in Colombia and Latin America  Initiated additional greenfield expansion opportunities  Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA improvement year over year  Globalstar’s shares listed on NYSE MKT on April 21, 2014 – improves visibility and trading liquidity  Launched Sat-Fi in June 2014 – broadens Globalstar’s addressable market by extending wireless communications beyond the range of terrestrial networks  Satellite augmented, scalable, reliable and secure air traffic management solution  On November 1, 2013, the Federal Communications Commission voted to release Globalstar’s requested NPRM over 22 MHz of spectrum including licensed (2483.5-2495 MHz) and adjacent ISM spectrum (2473-2483.5 MHz)  Initial comments received May 5, 2014  Comment cycle concluded June 4, 2014 Operational & Liquidity Geographical Expansion New Products and Future Opportunities Valuable Spectrum Assets 5


 
Broadening the Relevance of Satellite Communications Sat-Fi Launched in June 2014 Turns any Wi-Fi enabled device into a satellite phone Inexpensive satellite capability for any Wi-Fi enabled smartphone, tablet or computer . Constant connectivity when out of terrestrial coverage for calls, email and text messages 2 Billion People Live, Work or Travel Outside of Cellular Coverage 75% Landmass Beyond Terrestrial Coverage Market Opportunity Advantages / Features Dramatically expands Globalstar’s addressable market 6

● TLPS is a mobile broadband service provided over Globalstar’s 2.4 GHz spectrum – FCC released Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in November 2013 with authority expected by year-end 2014 ● Clear TLPS channel provides for improved range and effective capacity of averaging 5x and 4x, respectively, as compared to public Wi-Fi – performance differential is heightened in metropolitan areas ● All Wi-Fi-enabled devices, utilizing a worldwide standard, already have access to Channel 14 at the hardware level but are currently restricted due to regulatory constraints protecting Globalstar’s satellite service. Post-approval, devices can be upgraded via remote firmware updates to access Channel 14. ● TLPS can dramatically expand spectral capacity to relieve existing Wi-Fi congestion. Offers a superior and unmatched QoS for a device ecosystem. TLPS Helps Alleviate the Wi-Fi Traffic Jam The Problem: Wi-Fi Traffic Jam The Solution: Terrestrial Low Power Service (“TLPS”) “Wi-Fi has become a victim of its own popularity, and now faces congestion issues of its own. That’s why the Commission is hard at work providing spectrum for both licensed and unlicensed use. Both are critically important to our mobile ecosystem.” (Statement of Chairman Tom Wheeler) “The Nation’s demand for unlicensed services has increased so dramatically that we need more spectrum to support these services. The 2.4 GHz band, while critical to the success of Wi-Fi and other unlicensed technologies, is increasingly congested particularly in major cities. Densely populated centers are the most expensive geographic areas to deploy licensed networks.”(Statement of Commissioner Mignon Clyburn) Existing Wi-Fi channels 1, 6 and 11 are highly compromised by co-channel interference due to unlicensed Wi-Fi activity 8
