In connection with the Company's performance under the Terms Agreement, the Company recorded receivables totaling $ 15.6 million, which represents amounts owed by the customer for the Company's completion of performance obligations under the contract. As of March 31, 2022, $ 5.3 million and $ 10.3 million were recorded as current and non-current receivables, respectively. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities, which are included in deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, represent the Company’s obligation to transfer service or equipment to a customer from whom it has previously received consideration. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 from performance obligations included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of these periods was $ 9.9 million and $ 10.5 million, respectively.

The Company has entered into certain contracts for the preparation and launch of this spare satellite, which is expected to occur in 2022. Costs to support these efforts are included in the space component of construction in progress in the table above; the vast majority of these costs are being reimbursed by the customer under the Terms Agreement. These reimbursements are recorded in deferred revenue on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and are discussed in Note 2: Revenue . In February 2022, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of new satellites that will replenish the Company's existing satellite constell ation. As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 17.2 million as prepaid satellite construction costs and $ 15.5 million in construction in progress on its balance sheet reflecting the milestone work completed under this agreement. The customer under the Terms Agreement will reimburse 95 % of these capital expenditures. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 14.7 million in receivables on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the expected timing of reimbursement, $ 4.4 million is recorded in Accounts receivable and $ 10.3 million is recorded as a non-current receivable in Prepaid satellite construction costs and related customer receivable. The satellite construction assets acquired through this vendor financing arrangement are included in the supplemental section of the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as non-cash financing and investing activity. See further discussion in Note 2: Revenue, Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements and Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies. The ground component of construction in progress includes costs (including capitalized interest) incurred for assets to upgrade the Company's ground infrastructure, including costs associated with the procurement of new gateway antennas. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company placed $ 16.6 million o f costs into service associated with these antennas, which are included in ground component in the table above. These capital expenditures relate primarily to gateway upgrade work in connection with the Terms Agreement. 10 5. LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Principal Amount Unamortized Discount and Deferred Financing Costs Carrying Value Principal Amount Unamortized Discount and Deferred Financing Costs Carrying Value 2019 Facility Agreement 272,716 25,960 246,756 263,812 27,287 236,525 8.00 % Convertible Senior Notes Issued in 2013 — — — 1,407 — 1,407 Total Debt 272,716 25,960 246,756 265,219 27,287 237,932 The principal amounts shown above include payment of in-kind interest. The carrying value is net of deferred financing costs and any discounts to the loan amounts at issuance, including accretion. Excluded from the table are obligations related to a vendor financing arrangement discussed below. 2019 Facility Agreement In November 2019, the Company entered into a $ 199.0 million facility agreement with Thermo, an affiliate of EchoStar Corporation and certain other unaffiliated lenders (the "2019 Facility Agreement"). The 2019 Facility Agreement is scheduled to mature in November 2025. The loans under the 2019 Facility Agreement bear interest at a blended rate of 13.5 % per annum to be paid in kind (or in cash at the option of the Company). As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the 2019 Facility Agreement. The 2019 Facility Agreement requires mandatory prepayments of principal with any Excess Cash Flow (as defined and calculated in the 2019 Facility Agreement) on a semi-annual basis. If the Company generates Excess Cash Flow in 2022, it will be required to make such prepayments. These payments would reduce future principal payment obligations. Refer to Note 6: Derivatives and Note 7: Fair Value Measurements for further discussion on the compound embedded derivative bifurcated from the 2019 Facility Agreement. 8.00 % Convertible Senior Notes Issued in 2013 In May 2013, the Company issued $ 54.6 million aggregate principal amount of its 2013 8.00 % Notes Interest was paid in cash at a rate of 5.75 % and in additional notes at a rate of 2.25 %. In February 2022, the Company notified the holders of the 8.00 % Notes of its intention to redeem all of the outstanding amount of principal and interest in March 2022. Prior to the Company's intended redemption of the 8.00 % Notes, the holders converted the remaining principal amount outstanding of $ 1.4 million into 2.3 million shares of Globalstar common stock in February and March 2022. The 2013 8.00 % Notes were converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $ 0.69 per share of common stock. As a result of the conversions during the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded gains and losses on extinguishment of debt resulting from the difference between the fair value of shares of Globalstar common stock issued to the holders and the principal amount of the notes that converted as well as the write-offs of the embedded derivative associated with the 2013 8.00 % Notes. The net impact to the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of 2022 was a gain of less than $ 0.1 million. Refer to Note 6: Derivatives and Note 7: Fair Value Measurements for further discussion on the compound embedded derivative bifurcated from the 2013 8.00 % Notes. 11 Vendor Financing In February 2022, the Company entered into a satellite procurement agreement (see Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion). This agreement provides for payment deferrals of milestone payments through August 2022 at a 0 % interest rate. As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 32.7 million in short-term vendor financing on its condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with this agreement. In August 2022, all deferred payments will become due by which time the Company intends to complete a senior secured financing. This financing is intended to provide sufficient proceeds for the construction and launch of the satellites. 2009 Facility Agreement In 2009, the Company entered into a facility agreement with a syndicate of bank lenders, including BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Natixis, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and Crédit Industriel et Commercial, as arrangers, and BNP Paribas, as the security agent (the "2009 Facility Agreement"). The 2009 Facility Agreement was fully repaid in November 2021. 6.

The following table discloses the changes in value recorded as derivative loss in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Compound embedded derivative with the 2013 8.00 % Notes $ 216 $ ( 1,744 ) Compound embedded derivative with the 2019 Facility Agreement ( 702 ) 615 Total derivative loss $ ( 486 ) $ ( 1,129 ) The fair value of each embedded derivative is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, or more frequently as deemed necessary, with any changes in value reported in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as an operating activity. The Company classifies its derivatives consistent with the classification of the underlying debt on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 7: Fair Value Measurements for further discussion. 12 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements relating to financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, including presentation of required disclosures herein. This guidance establishes a fair value framework requiring the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). All of the Company's derivatives are classified as Level 3. The Company marks-to-market these derivatives at each reporting date, or more frequently as deemed necessary, with the changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the first quarter of 2022, the remaining principal amount of the 2013 8.00 % Notes was converted into shares of Globalstar common stock; accordingly, the associated derivative is no longer outstanding See Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements and Note 6: Derivatives for further discussion. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables provide a summary of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): March 31, 2022 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Balance Liabilities: Compound embedded derivative with the 2019 Facility Agreement $ — $ — $ ( 218 ) $ ( 218 ) Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ — $ ( 218 ) $ ( 218 ) December 31, 2021 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Balance Assets: Compound embedded derivative with the 2019 Facility Agreement $ — $ — $ 484 $ 484 Total assets measured at fair value $ — $ — $ 484 $ 484 Liabilities: Compound embedded derivative with the 2013 8.00 % Notes $ — $ — $ ( 1,364 ) $ ( 1,364 ) Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ — $ ( 1,364 ) $ ( 1,364 ) 2013 8.00 % Notes 13 The significant quantitative Level 3 inputs utilized in the valuation models are shown in the tables below: December 31, 2021 Stock Price Volatility Risk-Free Interest Rate Note Conversion Price Discount Rate Market Price of Common Stock Compound embedded derivative with the 2013 8.00 % Notes 120 % - 139 % 0.5 % $ 0.69 18 % $ 1.16 Fluctuation in the Company’s stock price was a significant driver of the changes in the compound embedded derivative with the 2013 8.00 % Notes during each reporting period. As the stock price increased, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increased, thereby increasing the liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Stock price volatility was also a significant input used in the fair value measurement of the compound embedded derivative with the 2013 8.00 % Notes. The simulated fair value of this liability was sensitive to changes in the expected volatility of the Company's stock price. Increases in expected volatility generally resulted in a higher fair value measurement. 2019 Facility Agreement The compound embedded derivative with the 2019 Facility Agreement is valued using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The most significant observable input used in the fair value measurement is the discount yield, which was 15 % and 13 % at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. When the discount yield utilized in the valuation is higher than the blended interest rate of the underlying debt, the features embedded in the underlying debt result in a liability for the Company. Conversely, when the discount yield is lower than the blended interest rate of the underlying debt, the features embedded in the underlying debt result in an asset for the Company. The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement include the probability of change of control and the estimated timing and amounts of cash flows associated with certain mandatory prepayments within the debt agreement. Rollforward of Recurring Level 3 Assets and Liabilities The following table presents a rollforward for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands): Balance at beginning of period, January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively $ ( 880 ) $ 163 Derivative adjustment related to conversions 1,148 — Unrealized loss, included in derivative loss ( 486 ) ( 1,043 ) Balance at end of period, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively $ ( 218 ) $ ( 880 ) Fair Value of Debt Instruments The Company believes it is not practicable to determine the fair value of the 2019 Facility Agreement without incurring significant additional costs. Unlike typical long-term debt, certain terms for this instrument are not readily available and generally involve a variety of factors, including due diligence by the debt holders. As previously disclosed, the remaining principal amount of the 2013 8.00 % Notes was converted into shares of Globalstar common stock during the first quarter of 2022; accordingly, there is no value in the table below as of March 31, 2022. The following table sets forth the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial instrument (in thousands): March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value 2013 8.00 % Notes $ — $ — $ 1,407 $ 1,265 See Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for further discussion of the Company's debt instruments. 14 Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the authoritative guidance regarding non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. On February 17, 2022 and March 9, 2022, the remaining principal balance of the 2013 8.00 % Notes was converted into shares of Globalstar common stock, eliminating the entire principal balance outstanding. See further discussion in Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements. As a result of the conversion, the Company wrote off the proportionate fair value of the compound embedded derivative liability with the 2013 8.00 % Notes based on the value of the derivative on each conversion date. As of each conversion date, the fair value of the compound embedded derivative liability with the 2013 8.00 % Notes was $ 0.8 million. The significant quantitative Level 3 inputs utilized in the valuation models as of the conversion date are shown in the table below: February 17, 2022 Risk-Free Interest Rate Note Conversion Price Discount Rate Market Price of Common Stock Compound embedded derivative with the 2013 8.00 % Notes 0.06 % $ 0.69 18 % $ 1.00 March 9, 2022 Risk-Free Interest Rate Note Conversion Price Discount Rate Market Price of Common Stock Compound embedded derivative with the 2013 8.00 % Notes 0.18 % $ 0.69 19 % $ 1.21 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Terms Agreement The Terms Agreement sets forth the primary terms for the Company to provide services to the customer and incur costs related primarily to new gateways and upgrades at existing gateways, satellite launch costs and lease costs. Under this agreement, the customer has made advance payments to the Company for the services expected to be delivered under the Terms Agreement. To the extent the Company does not provide such services, it will be required to refund the amounts to the customer. Refer to Note 2: Revenue, Note 3: Leases and Note 4: Property and Equipment for further discussion. Satellite Procurement Agreement In February 2022, the Company entered into a satellite procurement agreement with Macdonald, Dettwiler and Associates Corporation pursuant to which Globalstar will acquire 17 satellites that will replenish Globalstar's existing constellation of satellites and ensure long-term continuity of its mobile satellite services. Globalstar is acquiring the satellites to provide continuous satellite services to the potential customer under the Terms Agreement, as well as services to Globalstar’s current and future customers. Globalstar maintains the option to acquire additional satellites under the contract. Globalstar plans to contract separately for launch services and launch insurance for the new satellites. The total contract price for the initial 17 satellites is $ 327.0 million; Globalstar has the option to purchase additional satellites at a lower per unit cost, subject to certain conditions. The satellites are expected to be manufactured during the next three years . Under the Terms Agreement, subject to certain conditions, the counterparty is required to reimburse 95 % of the capital expenditures and certain other costs incurred for this contract. This agreement provides for payment deferrals of milestone payments through August 2022, at which time all deferred payments estimated to be approximately $ 74.0 million will become due, by which time the Company intends to complete a senior secured financing. This financing is intended to provide sufficient proceeds for the construction and launch of the satellites. The Company also expects to refinance its current 2019 Facility Agreement in the coming months. 15 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Payables to Thermo and other affiliates related to normal purchase transactions were $ 0.3 million and $ 0.4 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Transactions with Thermo Certain general and administrative expenses are incurred by Thermo on behalf of the Company. These expenses, which include non-cash expenses that the Company accounts for as a contribution to capital, related to services provided by certain executive officers of Thermo, and expenses incurred by Thermo on behalf of the Company that are charged to the Company. The expenses charged are based on actual amounts (with no mark-up) incurred by Thermo or upon allocated employee time. The Company has a lease agreement with Thermo Covington, LLC for the Company's headquarters office. Annual lease payments started at $ 1.4 million per year in 2019 and increase at a rate of 2.5 % per year, for a lease term of ten years . During each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred lease expense of $ 0.4 million under this lease agreement. In November 2019, the Company entered into the 2019 Facility Agreement. Thermo's participation in the 2019 Facility Agreement was $ 95.1 million. This principal balance earns paid-in-kind interest at a rate of 13 % per annum. Interest accrued since inception with respect to Thermo's portion of the debt outstanding on the 2019 Facility Agreement was approximately $ 33.8 million, of which $ 4.1 million was accrued during the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for further discussion of the Company's debt and financing transactions with Thermo. 10. LOSS PER SHARE Loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In periods of net income, the numerator used to calculate diluted EPS includes the effect of dilutive securities, including interest expense, net, and derivative gains or losses reflected in net income. Common stock equivalents are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share only when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. When outstanding, the effect of potentially dilutive common shares for the Company's convertible notes is calculated using the if-converted method. Generally, for all other potentially dilutive common shares, the effect is calculated using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share during each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Net loss $ ( 20,462 ) $ ( 36,333 ) Weighted average shares outstanding 1,797,671 1,679,754 Net loss per common share - basic and diluted $ ( 0.01 ) $ ( 0.02 ) For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 7.4 million and 5.5 million shares, respectively, of potential common stock were excluded from diluted shares outstanding because the effects of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive. 16
