Our financial position, results of operations, liquidity, business and prospects are subject to various risks, many of which are not within our control, that could cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. You should consider carefully the risk factors described below in evaluating the information contained in this report as the occurrence of one or more of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business.
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before you decide whether to invest in our securities. We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, which may also impair our business. The following discussion should be read in connection with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in our securities and the suitability of investing in our securities in light of your particular circumstances. Some statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
We have incurred significant losses since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, we incurred net losses of $101.9$189.3 million, $71.7$101.9 million and $40.1$71.7 million, respectively. We do not expect to be profitable or cash flow positive in the near future. Furthermore, any expansion of our services, servicesincluding the deployment of our NextGen technology, will result in increased operating costs. As a result, our losses are expected to continuecontinue, and we may not achieve profitability whenas expected,anticipated, or at all. Even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase profitability.
We expect our operating expenses to increase over the next several years as we scale our operations and increase research and development efforts relating to new offerings and technologies. These efforts may be more costly than we expect and may not result in meaningful revenue or growth in our business. Any failure to initiate and increase our revenue sufficiently to keep pace with our investments and other expenses could prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability or positive cash flow. If our future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if we have future negative cash flow or losses resulting from expanding our operations, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 20242025 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including all contractual commitments, beyond the next 12 months from the date of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We expect to meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operations and issuance of equity securities or debt offerings.securities. However, this determinationexpectation is based upon internal financial projections of operating cash flows and is subject to changes in market and business conditions. Our ability to obtainraise debtadditional financing and/or issue equity securitiescapital on acceptable terms, or at all, will depend on, among other things, our financial performance and credit ratings, general economic factors, including inflation and prevailing interest rates, the condition of the credit and capital markets and other events, some of which may be beyond our control. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, or at all, our business, financial conditions, and results of operations will be materially impacted. If we raise capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, our current investors may be materially diluted.
We have been focused on developing the next generation of complementary and backup PNT services and in order for us to be profitable, our services require substantial adoption across disparate industries,industries and may further depend on the deployment of our NextGen technology. Our existing services have been adopted for E911 and public safety customers, but we have not achieved broad adoption across all industries that may be necessary to achieve significant revenue growth or profitability. Risks and challenges we have faced or expect to face in connection with commercially marketing our services include our ability to:
forecast our revenue and budget for and manage our expenses;
attract new customers and retain existing customers;
effectively manage our growth and business operations, including planning for and managing capital expenditures for our current and future infrastructure, and managing our supply chain and supplier relationships related to our services;
effectively manage our spending on sales and marketing in order to address a disparate set of industries;
comply with existing and new or modified laws and regulations applicable to our business;
anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes and changes in the markets in which we operate;
secure the FCC rule changes needed to support the deployment of 5G-compatible PNT technologies;
maintain and enhance the value of our reputation and brand;
develop and protect intellectual property; and
hire and retain talented people at all levels of our organization.
The Indentureindenture governing our senior5% securedSenior notesSecured Convertible Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) contains restrictions and other provisions regarding events of default that may make it more difficult to execute our strategy or to effectively compete, or that could materially and adversely affect our financial position.
Subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, the Indenture Agreementindenture governing the senior2028 secured notes that we issued in 2023Notes (the “2028 Indenture”) restricts our ability to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, other than certain forms of permitted debt, (ii) issue any preferred equity interests, (iii) create or permit to exist any lien on any property, other than certain limited forms of permitted encumbrances, (iv) merge, amalgamate, consolidate or sell all or substantially all assets, (v) make or hold any investment, other than certain forms of permitted investments, (vi) consummate certain asset sales, (vii) pay any dividend or other distribution with respect to any of our capital stock, (viii) make any payment (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation or termination of any of our capital stock or any option, warrant or other right to acquire any such capital stock, or (ix) dispose or transfer intellectual property that is material to our business.business or (x) effect any transaction that would result in an adjustment to the conversion price of the 2028 Notes to an amount less than $2.05 per share of common stock. These restrictions, and others set forth in the 2028 Indenture as discussed below, may make it difficult to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with others that are not similarly restricted.
The 2028 Indenture also provides that a number of events will constitute an event of default, including, among other things, (i) a failure to pay interest or any other amount due on the notes2028 for 30 days,Notes, (ii) a failure to pay the principal of the notes2028 Notes when due at maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, (iii) a failure to comply with our obligations to convert the 2028 Notes in accordance with the 2028 Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right within five business days, (iv) any breach of our covenants with respect to consummating restricted consolidations, mergers, or other sale transactions, (ivv) the failure to comply with any of our other agreements contained in the 2028 Indenture or the notes2028 for 60 days after notice from the trustee or certain holders, (v) the failure by certain of our subsidiaries to guarantee the notes pursuant to their obligations,Notes (vi) an invalid or unperfected lien on any material portion of the collateral, subject to certain exceptions, (vii) a default or other failure by us to make required payments under our other indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $1 million in the aggregate, (viii) a failure by us to pay final legal, arbitral or other judgments aggregating $1 million or more, and (ixvii) certain events of liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing, additional interest will accrue on the notes2028 Notes at a rate of 2% per annum of the principal amount of the notes2028 Notes outstanding as of the occurrence of the event of default. We will also be required to pay additional interest of up to 0.50% per annum if (x) we fail to timely make certain required filings with the SEC, until such filings are made, or (y) the notes2028 Notes are not otherwise freely tradeable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If we fail to pay interest on the notes2028 Notes for 30 days or the principal of the notes2028 Notes when due, the trustee has the right to declare all the notes2028 Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, all outstanding notes2028 Notes will become due and payable immediately. Any such events of default or other acceleration of, or any increase in the amounts otherwise payable on, our debt could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, particularly if we are unable to negotiate mutually acceptable terms with the holders of the notes2028 Notes or if alternate funding is not available to us. Furthermore, if we are unable to repay the notes2028 Notes upon an acceleration or otherwise, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.
In the event of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, including sales of certain intellectual property or spectrum licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to us or our subsidiaries, we must make a mandatory repurchase offer for a portion of the 2028 Notes outstanding with the proceeds of such sale, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes subject to such repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of the repurchase, subject to certain thresholds and limitations set forth in the 2028 Indenture.
In addition, in the event of a changeFundamental ofChange control,(as defined in the 2028 Indenture), each holder has the right, at such holder’s option and subject to the limitations set forth in the 2028 Indenture, to require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of such holder’s notes2028 atNotes ain pricean amount equal to 101%the greater of (i) the aggregatethen outstanding principal amount withof 2028 Notes held, plus all accrued and unpaid interest.interest to such date and (ii) the consideration each holder of 2028 Notes would have received if such holder had converted the 2028 Notes into our common stock immediately prior to such Fundamental Change.
We do not sell our Pinnacle z-axis solutions directly to end users. Instead, we provide location technology that integrates with devices and applications that are created or distributed by third parties. Accordingly, our future growth significantly depends on third parties choosing to incorporate our technology into smartphone devices, applications and other new device types and markets that utilize location. We also depend on our customers, resellers and licensees to develop products and services with value-added features to drive sales and demand. Because GPS has been viewed in the marketplace as a reliable geolocation service provided for free to end users, our customers may not see a business need to integrate our solutions into our devices and applications. Despite efforts to educate customers about the need for z-axis geolocation services, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful and as a result, a market for our solutions may not be created.created or result in meaningful revenue.
Depending on whether the FCC grants approval of our petition, weWe may not be successful in the evolution of our operations to utilize 5G NR signals, which will increase our costs and may increase the challenge of adopting our services, and the time it takes us to evolve our service may differ from our estimates.
We are currently evolving our core technology from one reliant on a transmission that was designed to be technically compatible with GPS and GNSS receivers to one that is being designed to be technically compatible with the 5G NR ecosystem. This carries risks related to the technical performance of this transmission and the availability of equipment in the 5G NR ecosystem compatible with our spectrum and operations. If the technical performance of the 5G NR transmission is not similar to the technical performance of our legacy technologies, then the market for our services may be diminished. We must also secure approval from the FCC for this modified use of our licensed spectrum. We have submitted a petition to the FCC seeking this authority, which has been opposed by certain other users in the lower 900 MHz band. The petition remains pending before the FCC. Finally,Further, while we intend our signal to be compatible with the 5G NR ecosystem, we may not be successful at integrating our service into commercial 5G NR transmitters, core network, receivers or other system components, which would significantly reduce the market for our services.
If there are significant delays in our evolution to 5G NR-compatible technologies, including technology, ecosystem, standardization or regulatoryother delays, our ability to offer our services to customers including the U.S. Federal Government and commercial entities will be impacted. If any or all such delays occur, our business may be harmed.
Our NextGen business strategy is dependent on entering into partnerships with third-party wireless operators; failure to secure these partnerships could prevent us from deploying our 5G services.
Our NextGen technology plans are largely dependent upon enteringour ability to enter into strategic partnerships with wireless operators to utilize our spectrum licenses for 5G NR broadband services in the manner set forth in our petition before the FCC.Federal IfCommunications weCommission are("FCC"). unsuccessfulThe inprocess enteringof intonegotiating partnerships,and wesecuring maythese notpartnerships beis ablecomplex, time-consuming, and subject to deployfactors beyond our control, including the strategic priorities of potential partners, competitive bidding for spectrum usage, and operategeneral oureconomic 5G NR broadband services, or we may not be able to do so profitably.conditions.
Even if we are successful with our FCC petition, there is no guarantee that wireless operators will be willing to partner with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unsuccessful in entering into such partnerships, we may be unable to deploy or operate our 5G PNT services. Furthermore, any inability to execute these partnerships could significantly diminish the value of our spectrum assets and impair our ability to generate revenue or achieve profitability. Any failure or significant delay in establishing these relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and the long-term viability of our NextGen service.
We entered into a services agreement with AT&T that was to expire in October 2022, with no renewal terms. Thereafter, we amended the agreement by extending it until January 7, 2024,2024 and October 24, 2025, and the agreement has been further extended to October 24, 2025.2028. This AT&T agreement, as amended, continues our relationship in which AT&T purchases, markets and sells our services to its FirstNet® subscribers. We have no contractual right to require AT&T to continue its relationship with us, and AT&T may decide not to renew our services contract prior to the end of the extended term. If we are not able to secure a further renewal or extension of our services agreement with AT&T, our ability to sell or market products to FirstNet® and other public safety customers may be impacted, and our business, financial and results of operations may be materially and adversely harmed.
In order for our customers to be able to utilize our Pinnacle service in smartphones, we and our customers must have access to barometric pressure measurements and 2D location information, both of which are made available by APIs provided by GoogleGoogle, Apple and Apple.other device/OS vendors. If either Google or Apple or others meaningfully change their terms of service related to the use of this measurement and location data, choose not to provide this data to us or our customers, or choose not to incorporate location sensors in their devices, our ability to offer our Pinnacle service to our customers on these platforms will likely be impacted.impacted and affect our revenues.
Our inability to maintain access to third-party platforms, such as mobile application stores, could significantly impair our service distribution and revenue.
Distribution and marketing of, and access to, our services in smartphones are contingent on our distribution partners’ and customers’ access to a variety of third-party platforms, in particular, mobile application stores. If these third parties limit, prohibit, or otherwise interfere with or change their policies in any material way, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our TerraPoiNT services have not been implemented for broad commercial use, and thereThere is no guarantee that TerraPoiNTour PNT services will be widely adopted. Key manufacturers of devices and chipsets may be unwilling to integrate TerraPoiNT processing capabilities and required components into their devices. Further, even if we are able to secure agreements with these leading manufacturers, the terms under which such integrations may occur may not be favorable to us. Further, there is no certainty that one of our competitors will not develop and commercialize a different solution in the meantime. In addition, our ability to sell TerraPoiNTour serviceservices may be impacted by political or technological preferences. If we are unable to sell TerraPoiNTour PNT services commercially, to additional government users, or to an international market, thisour financial results will havebe amaterially negativeadversely impact on our business.impacted.
Our business depends on the use of location by a wide range of applications, including public safety and E911 applications, and which may include mobile marketing applications in the future.applications. Privacy concerns relating to location data, generally, and our technology could damage our reputation and deter current and potential users from using our products and applications.
Although we have implemented certain systems, processes, and safeguards intended to protect our information technology systems and data from such threats and mitigate risks to our systems and data, we cannot be certain that threat actors will not have a material impact on our systems or services in the future. Our safeguards intended to prevent or mitigate certain threats may not be sufficient to protect our information technology systems and data due to the developing sophistication and means of attack in the threat landscape. Recent developments in the threat landscape include an increased number of cyber extortion and ransomware attacks, with increases in the amount of ransom demands and the sophistication and variety of ransomware techniques and methodology. Additionally, our third-party vendors or business partners’ information technology systems may be vulnerable to similar threats and our business could be affected by those or similar third-party relationships. The risk of harm to our business caused by security incidents may also increase as we expand our product and service offerings and as we enter into new markets. The rise in the use and sophistication of artificial intelligence systems may also increase the risk and severity of cyber incidents. Implementing, maintaining, and updating security safeguards requires substantial resources now and will likely be an increasing and substantial cost in the future.
In the event we or one of our third-party providers were to suffer a security breach involving certain personal information, we may have legal obligations (whether pursuant to law or contractual obligation) to notify certain regulatory authorities, affected individuals, customers and/or other entities.
Any event that leads to unauthorized access, use or disclosure of personal information could disrupt our business, harm our reputation, compel us to comply with applicable federal and/or state breach notification laws and foreign law equivalents, subject us to time-consuming, distracting and expensive litigation, regulatory investigation and oversight, mandatory corrective action, require us to verify the correctness of database contents, or otherwise subject us to liability under laws, regulations and contractual obligations, including those that protect the privacy and security of personal information. Such statutory and contractual disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, may cause our customers or the public to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to and/or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security breach. Compliance with these obligations could result in increased costs to us, as well as significant legal and financial exposure.
In addition, any actual or perceived failure by us or our vendors or business partners to comply with our privacy, confidentiality or data security-related legal or other obligations to third parties, or any security incidents or other unauthorized access events that result in the unauthorized access, release or transfer of sensitive information, may result in governmental investigations, enforcement actions, regulatory fines, litigation, or public statements against us by advocacy groups or others, and could cause third parties, including current and potential partners, to lose trust in us including existing or potential customers’ perceiving our platform, system or networks as less desirable. We could also be subject to claims by third parties that we have breached our privacy- or confidentiality-related obligations, which could harm our reputation and materially and adversely affect our business and prospects. There can be no assurance that the limitations of liability in our contracts would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages.
We depend on the availability of personnel with the requisite level of technical expertise in the telecommunications industry.expertise.
Our ability to develop and maintain our solutions and execute our business plan is dependent on the availability of technical engineering, information technology, service delivery and monitoring, product development, sales, management, finance and other key personnel within our geographic location.personnel. The specialized engineers and other personnel required for our growth are in high demand by companies with greater resources, so we may have difficulty hiring and retaining critical personnel to develop and operate our services, which will have a negative impact on our ability to grow and achieve widespread customer and user acceptance.
Our results could be adversely impacted as a result ofby increased inflation and supply chain pressure impacting our or our vendors’ expenses and availability of resources and components.
The financial markets and the global economy may be adversely affected by current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related economic and other retaliatory measures taken by the United States, European Union and others, terrorism or other geopolitical events, including as a result of trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries in response to conflicts, including the one in Ukraine, may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. Deteriorating economic conditions, financial uncertainty or political disruption, including any international trade disputes, changes in laws or policies governing the terms of international trade, or tariffs or taxes on imports from other countries may increase the likelihood of supply chain interruptions, cybersecurity incidents, disruptions to our information systems, foreign currency fluctuations, or other risks. For example, in February 2025, the current Administration has issued threea number of Executive Orders imposing tariffs of 25% on certain goods imported from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariff on certain goods imported from China (including Hong Kong). The 10% tariff on imports from China took effect on February 4, 2025, while thehigher tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico took effect on March 4, 2025, after having been suspended, as did a furthernumber 10%of tariffthe onUnited ChineseStates’ imports.trading partners. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions and in some cases economic disruption. In response to the recent tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce investment, technological exchange and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. In challenging and uncertain economic environments such as the current one, it is not possible to predict whether or when such circumstances may improve or worsen, or what impact, if any, such circumstances, such as additional sanctions, tariffs, embargoes, regional instability, changes in laws or governmental administrations, geopolitical shifts and any related adverse effects, could have on the global economy or on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as those of our customers, partners and third-party service providers.
The Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined in Note 3 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements below) and anyAny strategic mergers, acquisitions and divestitures we may make in the future present significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and equity, which include, without limitation:
Difficulty in identifying and evaluating potential mergers and acquisitions, including the risk that our due diligence does not identify or fully assess valuation issues, potential liabilities or other merger or acquisition risks;
Difficulty, delays and expense in integrating newly merged or acquired businesses and operations, including combining product and service offerings, and in entering into new markets in which we are not experienced, in an efficient and cost-effective manner while maintaining adequate standards, controls and procedures, and the risk that we encounter significant unanticipated costs or other problems associated with integration;
Differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies that may delay successful integration;
Difficulty, delays and expense in consolidating and rationalizing IT infrastructure, which may include multiple legacy systems from various mergers and acquisitions and integrating software code;
Challenges in achieving strategic objectives, such as technology development, cost savings, that payments in common stock are more dilutive to current shareholders than anticipated or that cash consideration may be greater than anticipated, and other expected benefits;
Risk that our markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the strategic mergers, acquisitions and divestitures do not prove to be those needed to be successful in those markets;
Risk that we assume or retain, or that companies or corporations we have merged with or acquired have assumed or retained or otherwise become subject to, significant liabilities that exceed the limitations of any applicable indemnification provisions or the financial resources of any indemnifying parties;
Risk that indemnification related to businesses divested or spun off that we may be required to provide or otherwise bear may be significant and could negatively impact our business;
Risk that mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, spin offs and other strategic transactions fail to qualify for the intended tax treatment for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and the possibility that the full tax benefits anticipated to result from such transactions may not be realized;
Risk that we are not able to complete strategic divestitures on satisfactory terms and conditions, including unsatisfactory non-competition arrangements applicable to certain of our business lines, unsatisfactory non-solicitation provisions applicable to the talent we are able to pursue or within expected timeframes;
Potential loss of key employees or customers of the businesses merged with or acquired or to be divested;
Risk of diverting the attention of senior management from our existing operations; and Risk that we will not receive the necessary regulatory approvals.
Through our wholly owned affiliate, Progeny LMS, LLC, we hold 354 licenses issued by the FCC to use radio spectrum for location services within the 902-928 MHz band, identified by the FCC as the Multilateration Location and Monitoring (“LMS”) Service licenses, including 128 LMS licenses that we acquired from a third party in 2025. When the FCC created the LMS service, it used an auction process to issue three LMS licenses in each of 176 Economic Areas (“EAs”) in the U.S. Progeny’s 354 LMS licenses provide coverage of most of the U.S. and the vast majority of populated areas within the U.S., but the amount of spectrum authorized by its licenses varies by location. Progeny holds all three LMS licenses authorizing the use of 12 megahertz of spectrum in 81 EAs, it holds two LMS licenses authorizing the use of 8 megahertz of spectrum in another 32 EAs, and it holds one LMS license authorizing the use of 4 megahertz of spectrum in another 47 EAs. The remaining LMS licenses are all held by the FCC in reserve.
Certain of our location services depend on our ability to use portions of the radio spectrum licensed by the FCC in a manner that is inconsistent with the rules applicable toProgeny’s LMS services in this spectrum. Through our wholly owned affiliate, Progeny LMS, LLC, we hold licenses issued by the FCC to use radio spectrum for location services within the 902-928 MHz band, identified by the FCC as LMS licenses. These spectrum licenses are subject to rules that were adopted by the FCC nearlymore than thirty years ago and do not reflect (and are often incompatible with) current technology in the fields of radio signal modulation (such as 5G transmissions) and wireless PNT services. Certain of our location services depend on our ability to use portions of the radio spectrum licensed by the FCC in a manner that is inconsistent with the rules applicable to LMS services in this spectrum. We have therefore filed a petition with the FCC seeking to update the rules and rechannelize our licensed use ofoptimize the 902-928 MHz spectrum.spectrum band to enable 5G operations. Our petition has been opposed by third parties that use portions of the 902-928 MHz band for other purposes, many of them on a secondary, subordinate basis to our licensed operations. We continue to work with the FCC and interested third parties in seeking approval for our petition to update the rules for the 902-928 MHz spectrumPetition so we can deploy next-generation PNT services using state-of-the-art 5G technology in that band.
Our current LMS licenses provide coverage of most areas of the U.S. and the vast majority of populated areas within the U.S. Our licenses, however, even when combined with the assignment of licenses pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, do not provide nationwide coverage, which we are likely to need to provide certain of our location services on a nationwide basis. Therefore, the petition we filed at the FCC requests reconfiguration of the spectrum licenses as well as additional spectrum currently in FCC inventory in order to achieve nationwide coverage or to serve every major city. If the FCC does reconfigure the spectrum, and it regains auction authority, it may decide to use an auction as part of the process of distributing the licenses.spectrum licenses it holds in reserve. We may be required to participate and compete with other bidders in such an auction, with no certainty of winning. If we are unable to secure additional LMS licenses or suitable alternative spectrum in a different frequency band, our ability to expand certain of our services nationwide may be negatively impacted, which may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
One of the significant benefits of converting our spectrum transmissions, including those with respect to the spectrum we are seeking to acquire pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined in Note 3 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements below) dated March 7, 2024,transmissions to a 5G NR platform would be a substantial increase in the data transmission capacity of our network, thus facilitating the carriage of non-PNT-related two-way voice and data services alongside our core PNT data transmission. The FCC’s rules already permit us to use our currentcurrently 8 MHz oflicensed LMS spectrum for the carriage of two-way voice and data services, but these communications must be related to our PNT services and are not permitted to be interconnected in real time with the public switched network unless a store and forward technology is used. Therefore, to maximize the benefit of a conversion to a 5G NR platform, assuming the conversion is successful, we have requested flexibility from the FCC permitting us to use our spectrum and the spectrum we are seeking to acquire for additional non-PNT-related services in addition to our PNT offerings. Our proposal has faced substantial opposition from other users of the 902-928 MHz band, and there is no certainty that the FCC will provide us this flexibility nor is there certainty with respect to the extent of the flexibility that is provided.

We are the market leader in delivering resilient, next generation, complementary positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions designed to overcome the limitations and vulnerabilities of existing space-based Global Navigation Satellite Systems (“GNSS”), including the Global Positioning System (“GPS”). PNT services are used in nearly every facet of our economy. Cellular and electrical distribution systems depend on GPS-based timing, and the mobile app economy relies on location to create innovative services and to drive data and advertising revenue. Public safety and enhanced 911 (“E911”) save lives every day with the use of location services. GPS has powered the global economy for nearly 40 years. Without high-precision timing from GPS, cellular systems would fail, the distribution of electricity would be impacted, and other aspects of everyday life would be adversely affected. Recent international events have demonstrated that having viable systems to backup and complement GPS is a national security issue.
Our PNT solutions address these needs and issues in several ways. Our technology consists of a ground-based transmitter network operating on low-band spectrum assets in a manner similar to the function of GPS satellites. Unlike satellites, our network signals are designed to be much stronger and extremely difficult to jam or spoof. In addition, because the signals are terrestrial and low-band, they can penetrate buildings. As a result, our technology can act as a complement to satellite-based GPS, especially in urban canyons or deep indoors, and as a backup in case traditional GPS fails due to jamming, spoofing, technical failures, solar flares or other risks to satellite-based services. In addition, our location-based services are three-dimensional. Our core Pinnacle technology uses barometric sensors in smartphones and other communications devices and a network of sensors to determine vertical, or “z-axis”, location. This technology can provide accurate vertical location data to assist first responders, dispatchers and others, or could be used for autonomous systems, such as drones, in need of precise 3D mapping in urban areas, among other uses.
Our complementary PNT solutions are built on our asset base of FCC licenses that cover 12 MHz of low-band spectrum available for use. This spectrum consists of a contiguous 8 MHz block of 900 MHz spectrum covering over 90% of the U.S. population and an additional 4 MHz of complementary spectrum covering part of the U.S. population that was transferred to us in 2025 as a result of a transaction with Telesaurus and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation. That transaction also gave us potential rights to an additional 2 MHz of related spectrum covered by terminated Skybridge Spectrum Foundation licenses. These licenses are subject to a Skybridge and Telesaurus petition for reconsideration seeking reinstatement of these licenses. For more information on this transaction, refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We are evolving our PNT solutions to use 5G New Radio (“5G NR”) positioning reference signals (“PRS”), under the 3GPP global standard, to determine location and timing - a platform we refer to as NextGen. We believe the evolution of our existing technologies and services to a 5G NR PRS capability will improve the efficiency, flexibility, and scale of our operations. 5G NR technologies drive enhanced network performance, capacity, and efficiency across multiple industry verticals. 5G NR enables low-latency, high-throughput connectivity and also improves spectral efficiency, which allows operators to increase returns on investment in licensed spectrum and, with respect to our technology, to improve both the density and availability of PNT signals. 5G NR can also support many different applications, including ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). These capabilities permit 5G NR to support high-performance broadband services as well as emerging use cases in autonomous systems, industrial automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, spectrum that can support 5G technologies and services is important to broadband providers and their customers.
To enable our evolution to 5G NR, we have filed a Petition for Rulemaking (the “Petition”) asking the FCC to optimize the Lower 900 MHz radio spectrum band to enable 5G NR operations, the delivery of PNT via a 5G broadband network and in turn support such 5G technologies and services. Our Petition requests the FCC allow us to use a single, nationwide 15 MHz spectrum configuration for both PNT and 5G broadband. The Petition is subject to an ongoing FCC regulatory review process, and was referenced in the FCC’s March 27, 2025 PNT Notice of Inquiry.
Under our proposal, the FCC would create a 5 MHz uplink and 10 MHz downlink suitable for 5G operations. We believe modernizing the Lower 900 MHz band will simultaneously enable a high-quality terrestrial PNT network to complement and back up GPS, addressing a critical national security vulnerability, and add 5G broadband capacity. As such, our NextGen capability is being designed with the goal of enabling one or more mobile network operators or other partners to integrate this optimized Lower 900 MHz spectrum into their 5G network deployments. We expect that these partnerships would result in wide-scale availability of our complementary PNT services and, for our potential partners, additional 5G broadband capacity.
We are the market leader in delivering resilient, next generation, complementary positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions designed to overcome the limitations and vulnerabilities of the existing space-based Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (“GNSS”). We are evolving our complementary PNT solutions to use 5G New Radio (“5G NR”) technologies (“NextGen”), in conjunction with our Petition for Rulemaking filed with the FCC, to update and reconfigure the Lower 900 MHz band and our spectrum licenses. We expect the evolution of our platform to NextGen will significantly improve the efficiency, flexibility, and scale of our operations, technically enabling the delivery of high-quality PNT based on a 5G broadband network. Our NextGen solution is being designed to allow one or more partners to integrate our Lower 900 MHz spectrum into their 5G networks. We expect that this will result in wide-scale availability of both complementary PNT services and additional broadband capacity.
Our complementary PNT solutions are built on a deep asset base, including valuable FCC licenses. Our licenses include a contiguous 8 MHz block of 900 MHz M-LMS spectrum covering over 90% of the U.S. population, and on March 7, 2024, we signed an agreement, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, to acquire an additional 4 MHz of M-LMS licenses covering part of the U.S. population. On April 16, 2024, we petitioned the FCC to commence a rule making to reconfigure and update the rules governing the Lower 900 MHz band plan to allow us to utilize a 15 MHz nationwide configuration for both PNT and 5G broadband (“Petition”). The Petition is subject to an ongoing FCC regulatory review process. We believe that modernizing the Lower 900 MHz band will simultaneously enable a high-quality terrestrial PNT network to complement and back up GPS, address a critical national security vulnerability, and add 5G broadband capacity. We have been granted more than 145 patents related to our systems and services, and standardized certain of our technologies with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a global telecommunications standards-setting body.
The impact of GPS on the U.S. economy was nearly $1.4 trillion in the aggregate between 1984 and 2017, according to data from a National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”)-sponsored study conducted by RTI International (“RTI”), and the European Commission estimated the annual impact on the economy of the European Union in its 2018 budget process as EUR1.2 trillion. The usage of GPS services is also rapidly expanding, with its presence in devices in the U.S. increasing from 600 million devices to 900 million devices between 2015 and 2019, according to information presented to the National Space-Based PNT Advisory Board by the National Coordination Office for Space-Based PNT. PNT resiliency is a priority of the U.S. Federal Government and is rising in priority in the European Union, non-European Union countries in Eastern Europe and in other parts of the world due to both the demonstrated vulnerability and lack of local control of space-based signals and systems. Critical infrastructure, including communications networks and power grids, require a reliable GPS signal for accurate timing. A failure of GPS could be catastrophic, and there is no comprehensive, terrestrial backup that is widely deployed today. The Department of Homeland Security has also classified the PNT vulnerabilities from GPS as cyber security threats, and the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DoT”) has also outlined a Complementary PNT Action Plan, among other key federal initiatives. Higher performance and availability will continue to expand the reach and value of PNT solutions, while terrestrial resilience is essential to protect the vast economic activity that is reliant on GPS.
Simultaneously, demand for wireless data services continues to grow. The backbone of wireless data services, electromagnetic spectrum, is a finite resource. Our spectrum licenses, which lie in the Lower 900 MHz band, are referred to as “low-band spectrum.” There is a finite amount of low-band spectrum available, and low-band spectrum has favorable coverage characteristics compared to higher frequencies, including the ability to provide services indoors and over greater distances. These characteristics result in its ability to be used for coverage and to be deployed more economically, with higher-frequency spectrum often used to provide additional capacity in targeted locations. The transition to 5G NR for our PNT services will provide a technical capability to support broadband data services, which, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, maywould allow the spectrum to be utilizedused to help meet the continued, growing demand for wireless data capacity.
A core element of our strategy is to pursue such partnerships to offset the costs of deploying and operating a widescale, terrestrial PNT network that can act as a complement and backup to GPS. While GPS is fully supported by the U.S. government, we believe it is unlikely that the U.S. government would subsidize an extensive, standalone terrestrial PNT network and other revenue-generating opportunities are limited, given existing use of GPS. However, there is a financially viable path to a widescale terrestrial PNT network that meets critical national security needs through the spectrum optimization proposed by our Petition that would allow it to be used for 5G.
Macroeconomic Factors
Macroeconomic conditions, including changes in overall economic growth and broader business and government spending priorities, could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. While our business is not highly sensitive to changes in interest rates, inflation or general capital market conditions, adverse macroeconomic developments may reduce or delay spending by wireless carriers, public sector and other commercial customers for our terrestrial PNT services and may affect the timing of planned projects and deployments. In addition, broader economic uncertainty, including the potential for federal government shutdowns, could delay administrative and regulatory actions by governmental agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission, that are important to the commercialization and expansion of our services. We continue to monitor macroeconomic developments and adjust our execution timelines as appropriate; however, prolonged or worsening economic conditions could negatively affect the timing of our initiatives and the pace of adoption of our solutions.
As we evolve our technology platform to NextGen and pursue regulatory changes to the Lower 900 MHz band and our spectrum licenses, we continue to deliver high-quality PNT services through our Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT solutions. Our Pinnacle solution, launched in partnership with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”) as part of its FirstNet® initiative, can provide accurate altitude service to any device with a barometric pressure sensor and covers over 90% of commercial structures over three stories in the U.S. Our Pinnacle system is primarily used for public safety applications, including enhanced 911 (“E911”) for Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”), and a growing number of devices operating on the remaining national cellular network providers.
Our TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrially based dedicated, complementary PNT network designed to overcome the limitations inherent in the space-based nature of GPS. GPS is a faint, unencrypted signal, which is often unavailable indoors, distorted in urban areas, and vulnerable to both jamming and spoofing. TerraPoiNT overcomes these limitations through a network of wide-area location transmitters that broadcast a PNT signal on our licensed Lower 900 MHz M-LMS spectrum. Unlike GPS, the TerraPoiNT signal can be reliably received indoors and in urban areas, is difficult to jam or spoof compared to GPS, and can support signal authentication (e.g., encryption). Further, the TerraPoiNT signal can embed Pinnacle information to provide a full three-dimensional PNT solution. TerraPoiNT received the highest scores in testing by the DoT reported in 2021 regarding potential PNT backup solutions, in each category tested, and was the only solution evaluated capable of providing the full set of services provided by GPS. Continuing our engagement with the DoT, in 2024 we were awarded a contract to establish performance characteristics for TerraPoiNT to allow DoT to incorporate our solutions into a clearinghouse of solutions defined in the DoT Complementary PNT Action Plan, for potential use by Federal government customers.

Revenue Recognition
We derive our revenue from PNT technology, products and services including revenue generated through technology demonstration and assessment contracts with customers, support services provided to customers, sales of equipment, and licensing of proprietary technology.
We recognize revenue when an arrangement exists, services, equipment or access to licensed technology are delivered, the transaction price is determined, the arrangement has commercial substance, payment terms are determined and collection of consideration is probable.
We sell software licenses and services through arrangements that may bundle software, equipment, and other services. When we determine that we have separate distinct performance obligations, we allocate the bundled contract price among the various performance obligations based on each deliverable’s stand-alone selling price. If the stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, we estimate the amount to be allocated for each performance obligation based on observable market transactions. When we determine the performance obligations are not distinct, we recognize revenue on a combined basis as the obligation is satisfied. To the extent our contracts include variable consideration, the transaction price includes both fixed and variable consideration. The variable consideration contained within our contracts with customers may include discounts, credits and other similar items. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
We recognize equipment sales and the related costs when control of the equipment passes to the customer, typically upon shipment. Customers do not have rights of return without our prior consent. Revenue pursuant to licensing agreements for our technology represents performance obligations that are satisfied over time. We recognize support services ratably over the periods in which the services are provided; the related costs are expensed as incurred.
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We bill amounts under our agreed-upon contractual terms at periodic intervals for services, upon shipment for equipment, or upon achievement of contractual milestones or as work progresses. Billing may occur subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in accounts receivable. We may also receive payments from customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in deferred revenue.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
We hold wireless Multilateration LMS licenses. Certain general regulatory requirements apply to all licensed wireless spectrum, including, for example, certain build-out or “substantial service” requirements, which generally must be satisfied as a condition to the retention of the license. We are actively engaged in either meeting such requirements currently or seeking an extension of such requirements from the FCC for each of our LMS licenses. Although licenses are issued for only a fixed time, ten years, such licenses are subject to renewal by the FCC, based on the achievement of certain milestones and a finding that such renewal would serve the public interest. Renewal of our licenses has occurred previously and at nominal cost. As a result, we treat our wireless LMS spectrum licenses as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. We reevaluate the useful life determination for wireless licenses each year to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Costs incurred to maintain the FCC licenses are recorded in operating expenses.
We assess indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment annually as of October 1, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the asset. In evaluating indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value, then we perform a two-step impairment test to identify potential impairment and measures the amount of impairment we will recognize, if any.
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company operates as one reporting unit. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may first perform an optional qualitative assessment. If the Company determines it is not more likely than not the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, then no further analysis is necessary. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment test will be performed. Under the quantitative impairment test, if the carrying amount of the Company’s reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess but limited to the total amount of goodwill.
The carrying value of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets generally consists of principal amount of debt, net of debt discounts. Debt discounts recognized as a result of allocating proceeds to bifurcated embedded derivatives as well as accounting for direct debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.
We evaluate our debt agreements to determine whether debt contains embedded features requiring bifurcation from the debt host in accordance with ASC 815. If an embedded feature requires bifurcation from its debt host, we will account for it as a derivative at fair value. If a hybrid instrument has multiple embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation, we will bifurcate a single compound derivative. The Company uses valuation models to estimate the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivatives.
In conjunction with the issuance of senior secured convertible notes in March 2025, we bifurcated the embedded conversion option as a derivative liability under ASC 815. For the valuation to record the debt and embedded derivative related to the conversion option at fair value, we used a binomial lattice valuation model and a “with-and-without” valuation methodology at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, risk-free interest rate, the transaction-calibrated debt yield and expected volatility. Certain inputs (e.g., expected volatility) involve unobservable inputs and are classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to these methods, assumptions, and estimates included could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions. The fair value of bifurcated derivatives is presented in the same line item as debt in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Unamortized debt discounts are written off and included in our gain or loss calculations to the extent the Company extinguishes debt prior to the original maturity.
In conjunction with the issuance of senior secured notes in May and July of 2023, we issued warrants to certain of the purchasers thereto. We allocated the proceeds from the debt issuance to long term debt and equity classified warrants based on relative fair value as determined by the Discounted Cash Flow approach and Monte Carlo simulation model, respectively. The portion of proceeds allocated to equity-classified warrants and direct debt issuance costs are classified as debt discounts. The carrying value of long term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet consists of principal amount of debt, net of debt discounts. Debt discounts are amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements primarily using the effective interest method.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. Spartacus Acquisition Corp. (a Delaware special purpose acquisition company with which we consummated a business combination in 2021) previously elected to avail itself of the extended transition period, and following the consummation of thesuch Business2021 Combination,business combination, we became an emerging growth company (for the period described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) and will continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period emerging growth company status permits. During the extended transition period, it may be difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that complies with public company effective dates for accounting standard updates because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We have incurred significant losses since inception. For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, we incurred net losses of $10.6$44.4 million and $58.6$121.8 million, respectively. We do not expect to be profitable or cash flow positive in the near future. Furthermore, any expansion of our services, including the deployment of our NextGen technology, will result in increased operating costs. As a result, our losses are expected to continue, and we may not achieve profitability as anticipated, or at all.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including all contractual commitments, beyond the next 12 months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expect to meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operations and issuance of equity or debt securities. However, this expectation is based upon internal financial projections of operating cash flows and is subject to changes in market and business conditions. Our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, will depend on, among other things, our financial performance and credit ratings, general economic factors, including inflation and prevailing interest rates, the condition of the credit and capital markets and other events, some of which may be beyond our control. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, or at all, our business, financial conditions, and results of operations will be materially impacted. If we raise capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, our current investors may be materially diluted.
The indenture governing our 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) contains restrictions and other provisions regarding events of default that may make it more difficult to execute our strategy or to effectively compete, or that could materially and adversely affect our financial position.
Subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, the indenture governing the 2028 Notes (the “2028 Indenture”) restricts our ability to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, other than certain forms of permitted debt, (ii) issue any preferred equity interests, (iii) create or permit to exist any lien on any property, other than certain limited forms of permitted encumbrances, (iv) merge, amalgamate, consolidate or sell all or substantially all assets, (v) make or hold any investment, other than certain forms of permitted investments, (vi) consummate certain asset sales, (vii) pay any dividend or other distribution with respect to any of our capital stock, (viii) make any payment (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation or termination of any of our capital stock or any option, warrant or other right to acquire any such capital stock, (ix) dispose or transfer intellectual property that is material to our business or (x) effect any transaction that would result in an adjustment to the conversion price of the 2028 Notes to an amount less than $2.05 per share of common stock. These restrictions, and others set forth in the 2028 Indenture as discussed below, may make it difficult to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with others that are not similarly restricted.
The 2028 Indenture also provides that a number of events will constitute an event of default, including, among other things, (i) a failure to pay interest or any other amount due on the 2028 Notes, (ii) a failure to pay the principal of the 2028 Notes when due at maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, (iii) a failure to comply with our obligations to convert the 2028 Notes in accordance with the 2028 Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right within five business days, (iv) any breach of our covenants with respect to consummating restricted consolidations, mergers, or other sale transactions, (v) the failure to comply with any of our other agreements contained in the 2028 Indenture or the 2028 Notes (vi) a failure by us to pay final legal, arbitral or other judgments aggregating $1 million or more, and (vii) certain events of liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing, additional interest will accrue on the 2028 Notes at a rate of 2% per annum of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes outstanding as of the occurrence of the event of default. We will also be required to pay additional interest of up to 0.50% per annum if (x) we fail to timely make certain required filings with the SEC, until such filings are made, or (y) the 2028 Notes are not otherwise freely tradeable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If we fail to pay interest on the 2028 Notes for 30 days or the principal of the 2028 Notes when due, the trustee has the right to declare all the 2028 Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, all outstanding 2028 Notes will become due and payable immediately. Any such events of default or other acceleration of, or any increase in the amounts otherwise payable on, our debt could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, particularly if we are unable to negotiate mutually acceptable terms with the holders of the 2028 Notes or if alternate funding is not available to us. Furthermore, if we are unable to repay the 2028 Notes upon an acceleration or otherwise, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.
In the event of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, including sales of certain intellectual property or spectrum licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to us or our subsidiaries, we must make a mandatory repurchase offer for a portion of the 2028 Notes outstanding with the proceeds of such sale, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes subject to such repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of the repurchase, subject to certain thresholds and limitations set forth in the 2028 Indenture.
In addition, in the event of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2028 Indenture), each holder has the right, at such holder’s option and subject to the limitations set forth in the 2028 Indenture, to require us to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s 2028 Notes in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then outstanding principal amount of 2028 Notes held, plus all accrued and unpaid interest to such date and (ii) the consideration each holder of 2028 Notes would have received if such holder had converted the 2028 Notes into our common stock immediately prior to such Fundamental Change.
Our services are built on a terrestrial-based technical infrastructure, which is vulnerable to damage or interruption from technology failures, power surges or outages, natural disasters (such as landslides, tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods), fires, human error, terrorism, war, civil unrest, acts of god, pandemics, epidemics, intentional wrongdoing, cyber-security incidents, power losses, telecommunications failures or similar events. As a geolocation services provider, there is an increased risk that our technological infrastructure may be targeted in connection with terrorism or cyberattacks, either as a primary target, or as a means of facilitating additional attacks on other targets.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, of which, as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, 136,059,569166,997,792 shares were outstanding, 12,514,60611,996,742 shares were reserved for future issuance under our stock incentive plan and 52,265,19521,979,899 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants and conversion of debt.warrants. As a result, we have a large number of shares of common stock that are authorized for issuance and are not outstanding or otherwise reserved and could be issued at the discretion of our board of directors (our “Board”) or through exercise of options and warrants or conversion of debt.warrants. We expect to seek additional financing in the future in order to fund our operations, and if we issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock, our existing stockholders will be diluted. Our Board may also choose to issue shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock to acquire assets, corporations or companies, for compensation to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors, to fund capital expenditures and to enter into strategic partnerships. Additionally, shares of common stock could be issued for anti-takeover purposes or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. Our Board may determine to issue shares of our common stock on terms that our stockholders do not believe enhance stockholder value, or that may ultimately have an adverse (including a material adverse) effect on our business or the trading price of our common stock. Further, the issuance of any such shares may cause further dilution to the ownership interest of our current stockholders, reduce the book value per share of our common stock and may contribute to a reduction in the market price for our common stock.
Certain of our stockholders own a significant percentage of our outstanding capital stock. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our holders of 5% or more of our capital stock and their respective affiliates beneficially owned approximately 40%38% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, certain stockholders may have significant influence over our affairs due to their substantial stock ownership and, in one case, a position on our Board. For example, these stockholders may be able to control or influence elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, or the approval of any merger, sale of assets or our business, or other major corporate transaction. The concentrated ownership of our common stock may also cause additional volatility as fewer of our shares may be traded on a daily basis. Furthermore, any significant sale of common stock by any of these holders could have an adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that some of our stockholders may believe is in their best interest.
The continued operation and expansion of our business will require substantial funding. We have paid no cash dividends on any of our capital stock to date and we currently intend to retain our available cash to fund the development and growth of our business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions (such as those of the 2028 Indenture),restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board deems relevant. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the appreciation of their stock, which may never occur.
We have a significant number of outstanding warrants for the purchase of common stock. Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 18,749,9603,694,813 shares of common stock became exercisable on November 27, 2021 in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement governing those securities. These warrants consist of 14,715,169 public warrants and 4,034,790 private placement warrants,warrants related to the initial public offering and financing of Spartacus Acquisition Corp. (a Delaware special purpose acquisition company with which we consummated a business combination in 2021). The 4,034,790These private placement warrants have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on October 28, 2026, or earlier upon redemption of our common stock or our liquidation. To the extent warrants are exercised, additional shares of common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our then existing stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.
Moreover, in conjunction with the issuance of our senior secured notes in 2023 (Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information), we issued an aggregate of 25,925,927 warrants (the “2023 Debt Warrants”) at an exercise price of $2.16 to purchase shares of our common stock to certain of the purchasers thereof. The 2023 Debt Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on June 1, 2027. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, 10,588,84710,485,086 2023 Debt Warrants were outstanding.
Additionally, in conjunction with the issuance of the 2028 Notes in 2025 (Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information), we issued 7,800,000 warrants (the “2025 Debt Warrants” and, together with the 2023 Debt Warrants, the “Debt Warrants”) with exercise prices ranging from $12.56 to $20.00 per share to certain of the purchasers thereof. The 2025 Debt Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on December 31, 2028. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, 7,800,000 2025 Debt Warrants were outstanding.

Our complementary PNT solutions are built on our asset base of FCC licenses that cover 12 MHz of low-band spectrum available for use. This spectrum consists of a contiguous 8 MHz block of 900 MHz spectrum covering over 90% of the U.S. population and an additional 4 MHz of complementary spectrum covering part of the U.S. population that was transferred to us in 2025 as a result of a transaction with Telesaurus and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation. That transaction also gave us potential rights to an additional 2 MHz of related spectrum covered by terminated Skybridge Spectrum Foundation licenses. These licenses are subject to a Skybridge and Telesaurus petition for reconsideration seeking reinstatement of these licenses. For more information, refer to Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are evolving our PNT solutions to use 5G New Radio (“5G NR”) positioning reference signals (“PRS”), under the 3GPP global standard, to determine location and timing - a platform we refer to as NextGen. We believe the evolution of our existing technologies and services to a 5G NR PRS capability will improve the efficiency, flexibility, and scale of our operations. 5G NR technologies drive enhanced network performance, capacity, and efficiency across multiple industry verticals. 5G NR enables low-latency, high-throughput connectivity and also improves spectral efficiency, which allows operators to increase returns on investment in licensed spectrum and, with respect to our technology, to improve both the density and availability of PNT signals. 5G NR can also support many different applications, including ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). These capabilities permit 5G NR to support high-performance broadband services as well as emerging use cases in autonomous systems, industrial automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, spectrum that can support 5G technologies and services is important to broadband providers and their customers.

During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, our net cash used in operating activities and provided by investing activities was $12.2$25.7 million and $3.0$75.5 million, respectively. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $143.0$228.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $1.1 billion. We expect to incur additional losses and higher operating expenses for the foreseeable future. Our primary use of cash is to fund our operations as we continue to grow our business. We will require a significant amount of cash for expenditures as we invest in ongoing research and development and our PNT networks.
Managing liquidity and our cash position is a priority of ours. We continually work to optimize our expenses in light of the growth of our business, and adapt to changes in the economic environment. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including all contractual commitments, beyond the next 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe we will meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and issuance of equity securities or debt offerings. However, this determination is based upon internal financial projections and is subject to changes in market and business conditions.
On March 12, 2025, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement to sell to a group of lenders in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) $190.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) at par. The 2028 Notes willwere scheduled to mature on June 30, 2028 with interest payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at 5% per annum. Upon the closing of the Private Placement, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the Private Placement to redeem all $70.0 million of our senior secured notes that were issued with a fixed interest rate of 10% to a group of lenders during 2023 (the “2026 Notes”), at a redemption price of 101% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In June 2026, all outstanding 2028 Notes were converted into shares of our common stock, and no principal amount remained outstanding as of June 30, 2026. The conversion eliminated our outstanding debt obligations, reduced future cash interest requirements and further strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity position. Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
During the second quarter of 2026, we completed the redemption of all outstanding 15 million Public Warrants. In connection with the redemption, holders exercised 14.7 million Public Warrants for cash, generating approximately $169.5 million of gross proceeds. The remaining 318 thousand Public Warrants were redeemed for $0.01 per warrant and ceased to be outstanding. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $69.3 million of the warrant exercise proceeds had not yet been received by us and was recorded in other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. The outstanding amount was collected on July 1, 2026. The transaction significantly enhanced the Company's liquidity and, together with the conversion of the 2028 Notes, further simplified our capital structure. Refer to Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
