Globalstar, Inc. ("Globalstar") GSAT, a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services to businesses, governments, and individuals, today announced that it has completed the sale of its previously announced public offering of 171,428,571 shares of its voting common stock. The aggregate net proceeds to Globalstar from the offering are approximately $58.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses.

As required by the credit agreement with its senior lenders (the "Facility Agreement"), Globalstar intends to deposit 80% of the net proceeds from the offering in a restricted account for the benefit of the lenders under the Facility Agreement. The proceeds held in this restricted account, together with a portion of cash on hand, will be used to pay principal and interest due under the Facility Agreement in December 2018. Globalstar expects that the remainder of the proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes.

The offering was made only to qualified and readily identifiable Globalstar stockholders on a pro rata basis, pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement entered into in connection with a shareholder action previously filed against Globalstar (the "Settlement Agreement"). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Globalstar's controlling shareholder, Thermo, and Mudrick Capital and Warlander have purchased 140,970,321, 14,849,954 and 7,471,153 shares of voting common stock, respectively, which include shares representing their respective pro rata ownership and backstop commitment, at the public offering price of $0.35 for total settlement amounts of $49.3 million, $5.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as the sole book-running manager for the offering.

The offering was made pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
