25 Band n53 Overview • Band n53 is a uniform and increasingly “borderless” spectrum resource • Provides reliable connectivity − Important and high-value use cases • A rare swath of mid-band spectrum not owned by a wireless operator − "Goldilocks" spectrum – propagation allows for building penetration and spectral reuse • Aggregate with CBRS or the unlicensed bands for additional capacity − 3GPP standardized combinations


 
26 Band n53 Market Opportunity • Clean spectrum resource available for any wireless use case • Carriers or cable companies could add Band n53 to their spectrum inventory across their networks or at heavily used locations • Band n53 private 5G networks provide easy to deploy, campus-wide wireless connectivity for important applications like automation: − Industrial and power plants − Ports, warehouses and logistics facilities − Critical infrastructure − Offshore energy platforms − Mines and farms


 
27 Band n53 Milestones Met – Driving the Ecosystem • Regulatory – FCC approval • Standardization – 3GPP • Chipset inclusion – Qualcomm, GCT • Radios – Nokia, Airspan, CableFree • Modules – Global Telecom, Quectel, Telit Cinterion • Band n53 MHz – now integrated with XCOM RAN

30 Band n53 Spectrum Value – The Big Question • Based on historical transactions Globalstar's Band n53 spectrum could be worth between $0.5 and $2 per MHz-POP in the US alone − Implying value between $1 and $4 per share for just this spectrum • Bands with complete ecosystems trade at higher values • The goal is to generate annual cash flow from spectrum leases that would justify spectrum values over time in line with comps • International spectrum trades at a discount to spectrum in the US, but we expect that the additional MHz-POPs and international use cases will justify our efforts


 
31 Band n53 Summary Perpetual Resource Spectrum is a perpetual resource, and we have a lot of it Demand We can meet the need for spectrum anywhere there is demand for it Flexibility We can take different approaches in different geographies Recurring Revenue Long term lease model, high recurring revenue with near 100% margin No Restrictions No build out requirements

63 Wholesale Consumer Overview In 2022, we announced service with our Customer to provide direct to handset connectivity. Globalstar has allocated 85% of satellite capacity to support the following phases of this service: Current Existing constellation Next Satellites with service commencing in 2025 Future Extended MSS Network per November 2024 8-K disclosure Source: September 2022 8-K, November 2024 8-K and other SEC Filings


 
64 Wholesale Consumer Extended MSS Network • In November 2024, announced extension to its current service agreement with its Customer where Globalstar will provide: − New satellite constellation • Extended MSS Network will be owned by Globalstar Licensee, LLC (the “Globalstar SPE”) and operated by Globalstar • Globalstar will retain 100% of all terrestrial, MSS and other revenue and will continue to allocate 85% of its network capacity to render the Satellite Services to the Customer across existing and new satellites. The remaining 15% is to service the Company’s direct MSS customers. − Expanded ground infrastructure − Increased global MSS licensing


 
65 Wholesale Consumer Overview of Economics • Customer fees include a recurring service fee, payments relating to certain service-related operating and capital expenditures, and bonus payments subject to satisfaction of certain licensing, service and related criteria. • 2021 Prepayment Agreement: $94.2 million used to retire senior debt. Prepayment balance reduced over time through service fees. • 2023 Prepayment Agreement: Up to $252 million used to fund 50% of amounts due for replacement satellites set to begin launching in 2025. Prepayment balance reduced over time through service fees.


 
66 Wholesale Consumer Overview of Economics (continued) • 2024 Prepayment Agreement: $1.1 billion (Infrastructure Prepayment) to fund Extended MSS Network and $219 million (Current Debt Repayment) to retire the Company’s outstanding 13.00% 2029 Senior Notes. Prepayment balance reduced over time through service fees. • The Customer purchased 400,000 Class B Units in the Globalstar SPE; representing 20% equity for $400 million
