FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that section. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, income or loss, capital expenditures, plans for product development and cooperative arrangements, future operations, financing needs or plans of Globalstar, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

These forward looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements, such as the statements regarding our ability to develop and expand our business, our anticipated capital spending, our ability to manage costs, our ability to exploit and respond to technological innovation, the effects of laws and regulations (including tax laws and regulations) and legal and regulatory changes, the opportunities for strategic business combinations and the effects of consolidation in our industry on us and our competitors, our anticipated future revenues, our anticipated financial resources, our expectations about the future operational performance of our satellites (including their projected operational lives), the expected strength of and growth prospects for our existing customers and the markets that we serve, commercial acceptance of new products, problems relating to the ground-based facilities operated by us or by independent gateway operators, worldwide economic, geopolitical and business conditions and risks associated with doing business on a global basis and other statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts, involve predictions. Risks and uncertainties that could cause or contribute to such differences include, without limitation, those in “Risk Factors” of this prospectus. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the specific risks set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of common stock by the selling stockholder.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PAYMENT UNDER THE HUGHES AGREEMENT

On May 1, 2008, we entered into a contract, which we refer to in this prospectus as the Hughes Agreement, with Hughes Network Systems LLC, a subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation (“Hughes”), under which Hughes designs, supplies and implements (a) the Radio Access Network (RAN) ground network equipment and software upgrades for installation at a number of our satellite gateway ground stations and (b) satellite interface chips to be a part of the User Terminal Subsystem (UTS) in our various next-generation devices.

In January 2013, we agreed to amend the Hughes Agreement to extend the schedule of the RAN and UTS program and to revise the remaining payment milestones and program milestones to reflect the revised program timeline. This amendment extended certain payments previously due in 2013 to 2014 and beyond.

In August 2013, we entered into an agreement with Hughes which specified a payment schedule for the approximately $15.8 million deferred amount outstanding at the time of the agreement. This agreement requires us to make payments of $5.8 million in August 2013, $5.0 million in October 2013, $5.0 million in December 2013, and approximately $4.3 million as an advance payment when a project milestone is to be restarted. We have made both the August and October payments. Under the terms of the agreement, we are also required to pay interest of approximately $5 million in January 2014 for amounts accrued at a rate of 10% on previously deferred balances. Hughes has the option to accept these payments in the form of our common stock. On November 15, 2013, Hughes exercised an option to receive approximately $4.3 million for the advance payment in our common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, we are issuing our 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 common stock to Hughes at $1.35 per share. Hughes will restart work under the Hughes Agreement upon our payment of the amounts described above and an advance payment for the next milestone pursuant to the terms of the contract. If we do not make the payments described above by the specified payment dates in the agreement, these amounts will accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum. If we terminate the contract for convenience, we must make a final payment of $20.0 million (less any amounts previously paid to reduce the $15.8 million total deferred amount) in cash to Hughes to satisfy its obligations under the contract.

As of September 30, 2013, we had recorded $10.0 million, excluding interest, in accounts payable related to the Hughes Agreement and had incurred and capitalized $72.6 million, excluding interest, of costs related to this contract. These costs are recorded as an asset in property and equipment.

The sale of the shares to Hughes pursuant to the Hughes Agreement is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(2) of and Regulation D under the Securities Act.

The foregoing description of the Hughes Agreement and any amendments thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Hughes Agreement and any amendments thereto, copies of which have been filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the possible resale from time to time by the selling stockholder of any or all of the shares of voting common stock issued by us to Hughes pursuant to the Hughes Agreement. For additional information regarding the issuance of common stock covered by this prospectus, see “Payment under Hughes Agreement” above. We are registering the shares of voting common stock in order to permit the selling stockholder to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the transactions contemplated by the Hughes Agreement, Hughes has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares of common stock that it may offer from time to time under this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder, and reflects holdings as of November 19, 2013. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholder” includes Hughes and any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale related transfer. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of the shares of common stock that the selling stockholder may offer under this prospectus. The selling stockholder may sell some, all or none of its shares in this offering. We do not know how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale of any of the shares.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of common stock with respect to which the selling stockholder has voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of 466,486,563 shares of our voting common stock outstanding on November 1, 2013.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the resale by the selling stockholder of shares of our voting common stock that we have issued or will issue to Hughes pursuant to the Hughes Agreement from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The selling stockholder may decide not to sell any shares of common stock. The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent. In effecting sales, broker-dealers that are engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Any brokers, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder may also be deemed to be “underwriters,” and any profits on the sale of the shares of common stock by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, Hughes has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any particular broker-dealer or market maker with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby, nor do we know the identity of the broker-dealers or market makers that may participate in the resale of the shares. Because Hughes and any other selling stockholder, broker, dealer or agent may be deemed to be, an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, Hughes will (and any other selling stockholder, broker, dealer or agent may) be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, Sections 11, 12 and 17 thereof) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

The selling stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholder may sell the shares of common stock in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
in the over-the-counter market in accordance with the rules of FINRA;
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
in ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
in block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
through purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
in an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
in privately negotiated transactions;
through broker-dealers which agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
through a combination of any such methods of sale; and
through any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The selling stockholder may also sell shares of common stock covered by this prospectus pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholder may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus.

Any broker-dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive commissions from the selling stockholder (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from the purchaser). Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such a broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions and which may involve sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above and pursuant to the one or more of the methods described above) at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions computed as described above. To the extent required under the Securities Act, an amendment to this prospectus or a supplemental prospectus will be filed, disclosing:

the name of any such broker-dealers;
the number of shares involved;
the price at which such shares are to be sold;
the commission paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable;
that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as supplemented; and
other facts material to the transaction.

Pursuant to a requirement of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum commission or discount and other compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer shall not be greater than eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

The securities laws of some states require that shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in that state or in compliance with an available exemption from registration or qualification.

There can be no assurance that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Underwriters and purchasers that are deemed underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the entry of stabilizing bids or syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids. The selling stockholder and any other person participating in the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act), which may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by, the selling stockholder and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making and certain other activities with respect to the shares of common stock. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the shares of common stock in the market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have agreed to pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock, estimated to be $13,000 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

At any time a particular offer of the shares of common stock is made by the selling stockholder, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed. Such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the disclosure of any required additional information with respect to the distribution of the shares of common stock. We may suspend the sale of shares by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus for certain reasonable periods of time on reasonable grounds, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary of certain provisions of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation which is incorporated in this prospectus by reference to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 29, 2009 and to our Definitive Information Statement filed June 14, 2013 and by our bylaws which are incorporated in this prospectus by reference to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 31, 2006.

Until March 17, 2006, we operated as a Delaware limited liability company. As such, the rights of our members were governed by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the provisions of our limited liability company agreement which reflected various negotiations and agreements among Thermo Capital Partners LLC (together with its affiliates, “Thermo”), the creditors of our predecessor Globalstar, L.P. and others. The limited liability company agreement expressly permitted our conversion into a Delaware corporation provided that various provisions of the limited liability company agreement, including those dealing with election of directors, voting rights, preemptive rights and “tag along” rights, were incorporated into our certificate of incorporation. On March 17, 2006, we converted into a Delaware corporation. Our certificate of incorporation authorized the issuance of three series of common stock consisting of 300 million shares of Series A common stock, 20 million shares of Series B common stock and 480 million shares of Series C common stock. Each series of common stock had equivalent dividend and liquidation rights, but differing voting rights with respect to the election of directors, amendments to the certificate of incorporation and approval of certain transactions. Thermo held all of the Series C common stock, which entitled it to elect a majority of our directors. As required by our limited liability company agreement, our certificate of incorporation also restricted transfer of our common stock without approval of our board, granted all stockholders who were accredited investors pre-emptive rights to purchase shares of common stock if we issued additional shares of common stock, subject to certain exceptions, and entitled minority stockholders to participate in certain sales of a majority interest in our stock. The certificate also required that our stock be registered under the Exchange Act by October 13, 2006, which date subsequently was extended until December 31, 2006.

Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

In October 2006, our stockholders adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws to complete changes necessary to facilitate our initial public offering. In September 2009, our Board adopted amendment #1 to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation which increased the number of authorized shares of our stock from 900,000,000 to 1,100,000,000, comprised of 865,000,000 shares of voting stock and 135,000,000 shares of nonvoting stock. We are also authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock of one or more classes or series, as described below. In July 2013, we filed amendment #2 to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation that increased the number of authorized shares of our stock to 1,700,000,000, of which the number of shares designated as voting common stock was 1,200,000,000 and the number of shares designated as nonvoting stock was 400,000,000.

The following summary of the material terms and provisions of our capital stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, copies of which may be obtained upon request. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Common Stock

General.  We are authorized to issue 1.2 billion shares of voting common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 400 million shares of nonvoting common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and all shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of any warrants offered hereby will be, fully-paid and nonassessable. As of October 31, 2013, we had 126 stockholders of record of our voting common stock and one stockholder of record of our nonvoting common stock.

The nonvoting common stock has identical rights and privileges, including dividend and liquidation rights, as our voting common stock, except that holders of nonvoting common stock are not entitled to vote on any election or removal of our directors. Holders of nonvoting common stock have the right to convert their shares into voting common stock upon (i) the discretion of any holder; provided, however, that if the

7


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holder is Thermo, conversion will not be permitted if it would cause Thermo to own directly or indirectly voting stock in the election of directors representing 70% or more of the total voting power of all our outstanding voting stock having power to vote in the election of directors, (ii) the transfer (or, in the case of a transfer pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the proposed transfer) of the share of nonvoting common stock by the holder thereof to any transferee other than Thermo, (iii) our merger or consolidation with or into any other corporation (except a subsidiary of ours or of Thermo’s) or (iv) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

Dividends.  Subject to preferences that may be granted to holders of any preferred stock and restrictions under our credit agreement, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors from funds available therefor.

Voting Rights.  Except as noted above with regard to our nonvoting common stock, each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Generally, all matters to be voted on by the stockholders must be approved by a majority or, in the case of the election of directors, by a plurality, of the votes present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote.

Preemptive Rights.  Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights with respect to our issuance and sale of additional shares of common stock or other equity securities of the company.

Liquidation Rights.  Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, the holders of shares of common stock will be entitled to receive a portion of our assets available for distribution equivalent to their pro rata ownership of the outstanding shares of common stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority, without further action of our stockholders, to issue up to 100 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in one or more series, to determine the number of shares constituting and the designation of each series and to fix the powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, which may include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, and liquidation preferences. There are no restrictions on our ability to repurchase or redeem preferred stock in the event of any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments.

On June 19, 2009, we entered into a Conversion Agreement with Thermo Funding Company whereby Thermo Funding agreed to exchange all of the approximately $180 million of outstanding secured debt (including accrued interest) owed to it by us under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 17, 2007, as amended, for one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”). We filed a certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred on the same day. In December 2009, the one share of Series A Preferred was converted into 109,424,034 shares of voting common stock and 16,750,000 shares of non-voting common stock. We may not issue additional shares of Series A Preferred or create any other class or series of capital stock that ranks senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred without the consent of Thermo Funding.

The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the holders of common stock. The potential issuance of preferred stock may discourage bids for shares of our common stock at a premium over the market price of our common stock, may adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock and may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and of Delaware General Corporation Law

The provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws summarized below may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a hostile takeover, including one that might result in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock, and discouraging, delaying or preventing changes in our control or management.

if Thermo does not own a majority of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, no action can be taken by stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders called in accordance with our bylaws, and stockholders may not act by written consent;
if Thermo does not own a majority of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, the approval of holders of 66 2/3% of the shares then entitled to vote in the election of directors will be required to adopt, amend or repeal our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws;
our board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal our bylaws;
stockholders may not call special meetings of the stockholders or fill vacancies on the board of directors;
our board of directors is divided into three classes of service with staggered three-year terms, meaning that only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective terms;
our board of directors is authorized to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;
if Thermo does not own a majority of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, directors may only be removed for cause by the holders of 66 2/3% of the shares then entitled to vote in the election of directors; and
we will indemnify directors and certain officers against losses they may incur in connection with investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their service to us, which may include services in connection with takeover defense measures.

The anti-takeover and other provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with an “interested stockholder” for three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder unless:

prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Except as otherwise specified in Section 203, an “interested stockholder” is defined to include (a) any person that is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the date of determination and (b) the affiliates and associates of any such person. Thermo is not an “interested stockholder” because it acquired more than 15% of our outstanding stock prior to the completion of our IPO.

For purposes of Section 203, the term “business combinations” includes mergers, consolidations, asset sales or other transactions that result in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder and transactions that would increase the interested stockholder’s proportionate share ownership of our company.

Under some circumstances, Section 203 makes it more difficult for an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with us. Although our stockholders have the right to exclude us from the restrictions imposed by Section 203, they have not done so. Section 203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with the board of directors, because the requirement stated above regarding stockholder approval would be avoided if a majority of the directors approves, prior to the time the party became an interested stockholder, either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.

Limitation of Liability of Directors

Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability as follows:

for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; and
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our common stock is listed on the OTC Market under the trading symbol “GSAT.”

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonably cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchase and redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The Registrant’s Certificate provides that the Registrant’s Directors shall not be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent that exculpation from liabilities is not permitted under the DGCL as in effect at the time such liability is determined. The Registrant’s Certificate further provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant has a liability insurance policy in effect which covers certain claims against any officer or director of the Registrant by reason of certain breaches of duty, neglect, errors or omissions committed by such person in his or her capacity as an officer or director.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

The Registrant entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 28, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Terrapin Opportunity, L.P. (“Terrapin”) pursuant to which the Registrant may, subject to certain conditions, require Terrapin to purchase up to $30.0 million of shares of its voting common stock over the 24-month term following the effectiveness of the resale registration statement described below. This type of arrangement is sometimes referred to as a committed equity line financing facility. From time to time over the 24-month term, and in its sole discretion, the Registrant may present Terrapin with up to 36 draw down notices requiring Terrapin to purchase a specified dollar amount of shares of the Registrant’s voting common stock, based on the price per share per day over 10 consecutive trading days (a “Draw Down Period”). The per share purchase price for these shares equals the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock on each date during the Draw Down Period on which shares are purchased, less a discount ranging from 3.5% to 8.0% based on a minimum price that the Registrant specifies. In addition, in the Registrant’s sole discretion, but subject to certain limitations, the Registrant may require Terrapin to purchase a percentage of the daily trading volume of the Registrant’s common stock for each trading day during the Draw Down Period. The Registrant will not sell under the Purchase Agreement a number of shares of voting common stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of voting common stock then beneficially owned by Terrapin and its affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by Terrapin or any of its affiliates of more than 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of voting common stock.

The Registrant has agreed to pay up to $40,000 of Terrapin’s legal fees and expenses. No additional legal fees incurred by Terrapin are payable by the Registrant in connection with any sale of shares to Terrapin.

On October 3, 2013, Terrapin purchased 6.1 million shares of voting common stock at a purchase price of $6 million pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The issuance of the shares of common stock to Terrapin pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(2) of and Regulation D under the Securities Act.

The Registrant has agreed to indemnify Terrapin and its affiliates for losses related to a breach of the representations and warranties by the Registrant under the Purchase Agreement or the other transaction documents or any action instituted against Terrapin or its affiliates due to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or other transaction documents, subject to certain limitations. Terrapin is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Terrapin will use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate all sales, if any, of common stock that it may purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Exchange Agreement

On May 20, 2013, the Registrant entered into an Exchange Agreement dated as of May 20, 2013 (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the beneficial owners and investment managers for beneficial owners (whom we refer to collectively as the “Exchanging Note Holders”) of approximately 91.5% of its outstanding 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “5.75% Notes”) and completed the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. The terms of the Exchange Agreement were determined by extensive arm’s-length negotiations among the Registrant and the Exchanging Note Holders. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Exchanging Note Holders surrendered their 5.75% Notes (the “Exchanged Notes”) to the Registrant for cancellation in exchange for approximately 30.3 million shares of voting common stock of the Registrant, among other compensation. To the Registrant’s knowledge, none of the Exchanging Note Holders is an affiliate of the Registrant.

The exchange of the 5.75% Notes for common stock of the Registrant and other consideration was consummated pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). No commission or remuneration was paid or given, directly or indirectly, for soliciting the exchange transaction contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On May 20, 2013, the Registrant and Thermo Funding Company LLC (“TFC”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it purchased 78,125,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock for $25.0 million ($0.32 per share). TFC also agreed to purchase additional shares of common stock at $0.32 per share as and when required to fulfill its equity commitment to maintain the Registrant’s consolidated unrestricted cash balance at not less than $4.0 million. In furtherance thereof, TFC purchased an additional 43,750,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $14.0 million.

Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the shares of common stock are shares of non- voting common stock.

The sale of shares of the Registrant’s common stock pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement was consummated pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act for transactions not involving a public offering. TFC has agreed that the shares acquired by it are “restricted shares” and may not be transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an applicable exemption from registration.

Common Stock and Option Purchase Agreement

On May 20, 2013, TFC, which is controlled by the principal shareholder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Registrants, committed to invest up to $85 million in equity securities of the Registrant.

Pursuant to their commitment, TFC and Thermo Funding II LLC, a limited liability company also controlled by James Monroe III (“TFII,” and collectively with TFC, “Thermo Funding”), invested $6.0 million on July 29, 2013 and $6.5 million on August 19, 2013, on terms to be determined by a special committee of the Registrant’s board of directors consisting solely of the Registrant’s unaffiliated directors. During the period between July 29, 2013 and August 19, 2013, the Registrant’s voting common stock traded at a price ranging from $0.57 to $0.65 per share. Prior to the August 19 funding, the Registrant attempted to and was unable to obtain commitments from third party investors to purchase at least $20 million of the Registrant’s common stock at a price of $0.52 per share (before advisory fees), leaving Thermo Funding as the only party willing to invest $20 million in the Registrant’s common stock at a price of at least $0.52 per share.

The Registrant, TFC and TFII entered into a Common Stock Purchase and Option Agreement pursuant to which Thermo Funding agreed to purchase 11,538,461 shares of the Registrant’s non-voting common stock in exchange for the $6.0 million invested in July and an additional $20 million, or 38,461,538 shares, consisting of the $6.5 million August amount and an incremental $13.5 million as and when requested to do so by the special committee through November 28, 2013. Thermo Funding further agreed to purchase up to $11.5 million of additional shares of non-voting common stock at a price equal to 85% of the average closing price of the voting common stock on the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of the special committee’s request until December 26, 2013.

The terms of the Common Stock Purchase and Option Agreement were approved on October 14, 2013.

The sale of shares of the Registrant’s common stock to Thermo Funding pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase and Option Agreement is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act for transactions not involving a public offering. Thermo Funding has agreed that the shares acquired by it are “restricted securities” and may not be transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an applicable exemption from registration.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In, the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
