FL Investment Holdings LLC, Thermo Funding II LLC, Globalstar Satellite, L.P. and James Monroe III (including a trust controlled by him) are sometimes collectively referred to as “Thermo” or the “Reporting Persons.” Any disclosures herein with respect to persons other than the Reporting Persons are made on information and belief after making inquiry to the appropriate party. Unless otherwise noted, references to the Company’s Common Stock refers to the Company’s Voting Common Stock.
This filing amends the Schedule 13D Amendment Number 9 filed January 4, 2019 to amend Items 3 through 5 as follows:
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations. | |
Since the filing of the Reporting Persons’ Schedule 13D Amendment Number 9 in January 2019, the Reporting Persons acquired securities as set forth in Item 5. The source of funding for such acquisitions was working capital or personal funds.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. | |
Since the Company’s initial public offering in November 2006, Thermo has been the Company’s controlling stockholder and source of a significant portion of funding. In addition, Mr. Monroe served as the Company’s Chairman from April 2004 to September 2018, has served as the Company’s Executive Chairman since September 2018, and, except from July 2009 to July 2011, served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from January 2005 to September 2018.
On December 31, 2019, Thermo exercised warrants to purchase 9,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.38 per share. These warrants were a portion of the warrants to purchase 59,537,578 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to Thermo in connection with the Second Lien Term Loan Facility the Company entered into with Thermo and certain other lenders on November 26, 2019. The Second Lien Loan Term Loan Facility and certain related transactions are described more fully in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 27, 2019.
Thermo also made open market acquisitions of Common Stock during the year ended December 31, 2019. On November 29, 2019, Thermo purchased 2,871,541 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.39. On December 2, 2019, Thermo purchased 221,606 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.39. On December 3, 2019, Thermo purchased 332,276 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.41. On December 6, 2019, Thermo purchased 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.45. On December 13, 2019, Thermo purchased 500,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.39. On December 16, 2019, Thermo purchased 281,000 shares of
Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.39. On December 17, 2019, Thermo purchased 108,048 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.41. On December 18, 2019, Thermo purchased 750,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.43. On December 19, 2019, Thermo purchased 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.45. On December 20, 2019, Thermo purchased 570,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.49. On December 23, 2019, Thermo purchased 9,727 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average price per share of approximately $0.50.
In addition, on December 27, 2019, 106,383 restricted shares of Common Stock previously awarded to Mr. Monroe for his service as a director became vested.
The Reporting Persons considered the Common Stock to be an attractive investment at the price levels at which they acquired the shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock in the future.
As disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 27, 2019, Thermo agreed to voluntarily convert all of the Company's outstanding obligations under its existing 2009 loan agreement to Common Stock at $0.69 per share in early 2020. Except as set forth in this Item 4, Thermo does not have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in:
(a) | The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the issuer, or the disposition of securities of the issuer; | |
(b) | An extraordinary corporation transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries; | |
(c) | A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; | |
(d) | Any change in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; | |
(e) | Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer; | |
(f) | Any other material change in the issuer’s business or corporate structure; | |
(g) | Changes in the issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person; | |
(h) | Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; | |
(i) | Causing a class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or | |
(j) | Any action similar to any of those enumerated above. | |
In the ordinary course of strategic planning for the Company, the Board of Directors and the management team have discussed, and in the future may discuss, some or all of the items listed in (a) through (j) above. Mr. Monroe participates in those discussions as Chairman of the Board.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of Issuer. | |
The calculations of percentages in this Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 10 are based on the number of shares of Common Stock (1,455,106,646 shares) outstanding on December 31, 2019 plus the shares that may be issued to the Reporting Persons within 60 days upon the exercise of options and warrants.
