Introduction

On March 29, 2010, Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Master Fund”), and Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Special Fund” and together with Master Fund, “Harbinger”), completed their acquisition of SkyTerra Communications, Inc. (“SkyTerra”) pursuant to the terms of that certain agreement and plan of merger, dated as of September 23, 2009 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among SkyTerra, Harbinger and Sol Private Corp. (“Sol”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Harbinger. To consummate the acquisition, Sol was merged (the “Merger”) with and into SkyTerra with SkyTerra as the surviving corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of SkyTerra and each share of non-voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Non-Voting Common Stock” and together with Common Stock, “Capital Stock”), of SkyTerra, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares of Capital Stock held by Harbinger or its affiliates, or by SkyTerra or any of its subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive $5.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

As a result of the Merger, all of SkyTerra’s issued and outstanding Capital Stock is owned indirectly by Harbinger. The aggregate cash consideration payable to former SkyTerra stockholders (other than Harbinger and its affiliates) is approximately $262,500,000.00. Sol obtained the consideration for the Merger from Harbinger and its affiliates.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth in the Introduction above is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Trading of SkyTerra Common Stock was suspended as of the close of trading on March 29, 2010. On March 29, 2010, SkyTerra notified the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) of the effectiveness of the Merger and its intent to voluntarily remove its Common Stock from the OTCBB, where such stock traded under the symbol “SKYT.” SkyTerra will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to suspend its duty to file reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the last day of trading of SkyTerra’s Common Stock on the OTCBB was March 29, 2010.

Item 3.03

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

As described in the Introduction above, as a result of the Merger, each share of SkyTerra Capital Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares of Capital Stock held by Harbinger or its affiliates, or by SkyTerra or any of its subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

At the effective time of the Merger, SkyTerra stockholders immediately prior to the effective time (other than Harbinger and certain of its affiliates) ceased to have any rights as stockholders of SkyTerra (other than their right to receive Merger Consideration) and accordingly no longer have any interest in SkyTerra’s future earnings and growth.

The information set forth in the Introduction and Items 2.01 and 3.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.01

Changes in Control of Registrant.

As described in the Introduction above, on March 29, 2010, Harbinger completed its acquisition of SkyTerra, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. To consummate the acquisition, Sol was merged with and into SkyTerra with SkyTerra surviving as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Harbinger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the Merger, each share of SkyTerra Capital Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares of Capital Stock held by Harbinger or its affiliates, or by SkyTerra or any of its subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The aggregate cash consideration payable to such former SkyTerra stockholders is approximately $262,500,000.00. Sol obtained the consideration for the Merger from Harbinger and its affiliates.

The information set forth in the Introduction and Item 2.01 is incorporated by reference.

Item 5.03

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation of Sol was amended, and such amended certificate of incorporation became the certificate of incorporation of the surviving corporation.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the bylaws of Sol were amended, and such amended bylaws became the bylaws of the surviving corporation. A copy of the Amended Bylaws of SkyTerra is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
