Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Second Amendment to Forbearance Agreement Related to 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028
On April 22, 2013, Globalstar, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a second amendment (the “Amendment”) to the April 1, 2013 forbearance agreement with beneficial owners and investment managers for beneficial owners (whom we refer to collectively as the "Forbearing Note Holders") of the Company's outstanding 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Forbearing Note Holders have agreed to extend the forbearance period through 11:59 P.M. (ET) on April 29, 2013.
In exchange for the extension, the Company has agreed to issue shares of its voting common stock to the Forbearing Note Holders who have executed the Amendment if an exchange transaction is not consummated within five days after the end of the forbearance period.
Each Forbearing Note Holder who signed the Amendment agreed that it will support and cooperate with the Company in good faith in consummating an exchange transaction prior to the expiration of the forbearance period.
Except as described above, all of the other terms of the forbearance agreement remain unchanged. See the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 1, 2013.
The Company can not give any assurance that an exchange transaction will be consummated by any particular date or at all.
