Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Transactions with Thermo Thermo is the principal owner and largest stockholder of Globalstar. The Company's Executive Chairman of the Board controls Thermo. Two other members of the Company's Board are also directors, officers or minority equity owners of various Thermo entities. Payables to Thermo related to arms' length transactions were $0.2 million and $0.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Certain general and administrative expenses are incurred by Thermo on behalf of the Company. These expenses include: (i) non-cash expenses, such as stock compensation costs as well as costs recorded as a contribution to capital, and (ii) expenses incurred by Thermo on behalf of the Company that are charged to the Company; these charges are based on actual amounts (with no mark-up) incurred by Thermo or upon allocated employee time. Lease Agreement The Company has a lease agreement with Thermo Covington, LLC for the Company's headquarters office. Annual lease payments increase at a rate of 2.5% per year. 2025 lease payments will total $1.7 million. The lease term is ten years and is scheduled to expire in January 2029. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred lease expense of $0.4 million under this lease agreement. Perpetual Preferred Stock Thermo owns $136.7 million of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (based upon the shares' liquidation preference). Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, cumulative cash dividends based on the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, at a fixed rate equal to 7.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made dividend payments to Thermo, which were approved by the Board, totaling $2.4 million. Service Agreements In connection with the Service Agreements, the Customer and Thermo entered into a lock-up and right of first offer agreement that generally (i) requires Thermo to offer any shares of Globalstar common stock to the Customer before transferring them to any other person, other than affiliates of Thermo and (ii) prohibits Thermo from transferring shares of Globalstar common stock if such transfer would cause Thermo to hold less than 51.00% of the outstanding common stock of the Company for a period of five years from the launch of Services in November 2022. Certain amounts payable by the Company in connection with the 2023 Funding Agreement and certain other obligations under the Service Agreements are guaranteed by Thermo. As consideration for Thermo's guarantee, the Company issued to Thermo a warrant to purchase 666,668 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $30.00 per share (as calculated pursuant to the agreement). The right to purchase 333,334 shares under the warrant vested immediately upon effectiveness of Thermo's guarantee, which occurred in December 2023, and the right to purchase the remaining 333,334 shares under the warrant may vest if and when Thermo advances aggregate funds of $25.0 million or more to the Company or a permitted third party pursuant to the terms of Thermo's guarantee. The warrant expires in December 2028. To the extent Thermo is required to advance amounts under the guarantee, the Company is required to issue shares of common stock of the Company in respect of such advance in an amount equal to the amount of such payment divided by the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding such payment. Governance The Company has a Strategic Review Committee that is required to remain in existence for as long as Thermo and its affiliates beneficially own forty-five percent (45%) or more of Globalstar’s outstanding common stock. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Strategic Review Committee has exclusive responsibility for the oversight, review and approval of, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, any acquisition by Thermo and its affiliates of additional newly-issued securities of the Company and any transaction between the Company and Thermo and its affiliates with a value in excess of $250,000. Agreements with XCOM Dr. Paul E. Jacobs is the Chief Executive Officer of Globalstar and also serves as the Executive Chairman of XCOM Labs, Inc. (now known as Virewirx, Inc.) ("Licensor" or "XCOM") and is the controlling stockholder of XCOM. In connection with the Company's August 2023 License Agreement with XCOM, Globalstar issued to XCOM 4.0 million shares of Globalstar common stock, representing a transaction value of approximately $68.7 million on the date of issuance. Of the consideration paid for the License Agreement, 1.1 million shares were issued to Dr. Jacobs. The Company and XCOM have a Support Services Agreement ("SSA") pursuant to which XCOM is required to provide certain services to the Company. Fees payable by Globalstar pursuant to the SSA are based on costs incurred plus a 15% margin for costs incurred between January 1, 2025 and March 31, 2025. In August 2023 and June 2024, Globalstar issued 0.7 million shares and 0.5 million shares, respectively, to XCOM as payment for costs incurred under the SSA and the release of holdback shares under the License Agreement. In June 2024 and March 2025, XCOM sold 0.3 million shares and 0.2 million shares, respectively, in a private placement transaction to an affiliate of Thermo. Dr. Jacobs does not have any family relationships with any director or executive officer of the Company and has not been directly or indirectly involved in any related party transactions with the Company, except for transactions related to the License Agreement and the SSA.
