TABLE OF CONTENTS
This
Amendment No. 7 (“Amendment No. 7”) amends the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO filed on November 16, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on December 9, 2009, by Amendment
No. 2 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on December 22, 2009,
by Amendment No. 3 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on January
5, 2010, by Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed
on January 27, 2010, by Amendment No.5 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule
TO filed on February 5, 2010 and by Amendment No. 6 to the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO filed on February 17, 2010 (as so amended, the
“Schedule TO”), which relates to the offer by TerreStar Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“TSC”) and TerreStar Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
direct wholly-owned subsidiary of TSC (“Holdings” and together with TSC and TSN
(as defined below) the “Companies”) to exchange (each, an “Exchange Offer” and
collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) (i) all outstanding shares of Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of TSC (“Series A Preferred”) for up to
90,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock of Holdings (“Sub Series F
Preferred”), (ii) all outstanding shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock of TSC (“Series B Preferred,” and together with the Series A
Preferred, the “Series A&B Preferred”) for 318,500 shares of Sub Series F
Preferred and (iii) all outstanding shares of Series E Junior Participating
Preferred Stock of TSC (“Series E Preferred”) for up to 300,000 shares of Series
G Preferred Stock of Holdings (“Sub Series G
Preferred”). Additionally, TerreStar Networks Inc., a Delaware
corporation and an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of TSC (“TSN”), and
TSC are proposing to amend all outstanding $167.0 million (as of September 30,
2009) aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Senior Exchangeable PIK Notes due 2014
(“6.5% Notes”) in the form of a supplemental indenture (the “6.5% Notes
Supplement”) to the indenture governing the 6.5% Notes (the “6.5% Notes
Indenture”) upon the receipt of certain requisite consents. In
connection with the Exchange Offers, Holdings will issue 150,000 shares of Sub
Series G Preferred to each of EchoStar Corporation and Harbinger Capital
Management, for a total additional issuance of 300,000 shares of Sub Series G
Preferred, in exchange for their waiver of certain Fundamental Corporate
Transaction Approval Rights, as set forth in the applicable certificates of
designations in respect of the Exchange Offers, as holders of TSC’s Series C
Preferred Stock and TSC’s Series D Preferred Stock and holders of
TSN’s Series A Preferred Stock and TSN’s Series B Preferred Stock and
their rights under their respective Right of First Offer Agreement, as
discussed in the OM.
Concurrently
with the Exchange Offers, TSC is soliciting consents for certain proposed
amendments to the certificate of designations of the Series B Preferred (the
“Series B Preferred Amendments”), which certificate governs the terms of the
Series B Preferred, additionally, in connection with the 6.5% Notes Supplement,
TSC and TSN are soliciting consents for the approval of certain amendments to
the 6.5% Notes Indenture from the holders of the 6.5% Notes and TSC, TSN
and Holdings are soliciting consents for the approval of the Exchange Offers and
Solicitation from certain holders of the 6.5% Notes (the “Solicitation,” and,
together with the Exchange Offers, the “Exchange Offers and
Solicitation”).
The
Exchange Offers and Solicitation are made on the terms and subject to the
conditions contained in the Offering Memorandum, dated November 16, 2009, as
amended on December 8, 2009, December 22, 2009, January 5, 2010, January 27,
2010, February 5, 2010 and March 8, 2010 (“Offering Memorandum”), the Letter of
Consent, as amended (“Letter of Consent”) and in the Letter of Transmittal, as
amended (“Letter of Transmittal”). Copies of the Offering
Memorandum, Letter of Consent and Letter of Transmittal are filed as Exhibits
(a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3), respectively, to this Amendment No.
7.
In
connection
with the
conditions of the Exchange Offers and Solicitation, TSC solicited
consents from the holders of TSC’s common stock for the authorization of
additional shares of TSC’s common stock, the effectiveness of the Series B
Preferred Amendments and amendments to the certificate of designations of the
Series E Preferred (the “Series E Preferred Amendments”). Although
TSC received the requisite consents and approval for the authorization of
additional shares of TSC’s common stock, the consents and approval necessary to
effectuate the Series B Preferred Amendments and Series E Preferred Amendments
were not received. The Exchange Offers and Solicitation continue to
be subject to the condition that the holders of TSC’s Common Stock consent and
approve the Series B Preferred Amendments and Series E Preferred
Amendments. The Series B Preferred Amendments and Series E Preferred
Amendments will not take effect until we obtain the necessary consents and
approval from the holders of TSC’s common stock.
This
Amendment No. 7 is being filed to amend the Exchange Offers and Solicitation by
extending the expiration date. The Exchange Offers and Solicitation
are being extended in order to provide additional time to satisfy various
conditions to closing, including to obtain the necessary consents. The
deadline for (i) tendering shares of Series A&B Preferred for shares of Sub
Series F Preferred and tendering shares of Series E Preferred for shares of Sub
Series G Preferred and (ii) consenting to the amendments to the certificate of
designations for the Series B Preferred and the indenture to the 6.5% Notes and
the approval of the Exchange Offers and Solicitation from certain holders of the
6.5% Notes has been extended from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 5,
2010 to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 2, 2010, unless further extended
by the Companies, as applicable.
Procedures
for tendering shares and delivering consents during this extension of the
Exchange Offers and Solicitation shall be the same as during the original
Exchange Offers and Solicitation.
All
information contained in the Offering Memorandum, Letter of Consent and Letter
of Transmittal and any amendments or any other supplements thereto relating to
