EXPLANATORY NOTE
Effective following the close of trading on February 10, 2025, we voluntarily withdrew the listing of our Common Stock from the NYSE American, effected the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1 to 15 shares of Common Stock and amended our certificate of incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock that we may issue. Effective on February 11, 2025, our Common Stock began trading on a post-split basis under the symbol “GSAT” on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
We are filing this registration statement to (i) replace our prior registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274440) and accordingly includes unsold shares of Common Stock registered for resale on such prior registration, and (ii) register shares of Common Stock for resale by an additional selling stockholder.
The shares of Common Stock registered for resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this registration statement and the accompanying prospectus reflect the impact of the reverse stock split and related amendments to our certificate of incorporation.

THE XCOM TRANSACTION
On August 29, 2023, we entered into the License Agreement with XCOM Labs, Inc. (now known as Virewirx, Inc.). The transaction was unanimously approved by our Strategic Review Committee of the Board of Directors and unanimously approved by our full Board of Directors.
Under the License Agreement, we acquired an exclusive (subject to qualifications set forth in the License Agreement), perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, right and license (the “License”) to use, modify, copy, make derivative work(s) of, sell, offer to sell, lease, sublicense, otherwise transfer, commercialize and to make such other use(s) of certain Intellectual Property Assets (as defined in the License Agreement), including Intellectual Property Assets relating to the development and commercialization of certain of XCOM Labs, Inc.’s key novel technologies for wireless spectrum innovations.
As consideration for the License and the other agreements of XCOM Labs, Inc. in the License Agreement, we issued 60,582,615 shares of our Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”), subject to a holdback of a portion of the shares (the “Holdback Shares”) representing consideration under the License Agreement and adjustment thereto based on the amount, if any, by which the actual value of certain liabilities assumed by us related to the Intellectual Property Assets (as determined by us within 60 days following such closing, subject to applicable dispute resolution procedures) exceeds the agreed upon target amount of such liabilities, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Certain of these shares were delivered directly to lenders of XCOM Labs, Inc., including affiliates of our controlling stockholder, Thermo Companies, which are controlled by our Executive Chairman, Jay Monroe, and affiliates of Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, in each case, in consideration for the release of underlying debts owed by XCOM Labs, Inc. in lieu of payment in cash.
In connection with the License Agreement, we also entered into the SSA with XCOM Labs, Inc. Pursuant to the SSA, XCOM Labs, Inc. is required to provide services to us assisting with certain operations of the business relating to the Intellectual Property Asset (the “Services”) and to make available certain employees and the facilities associated with the foregoing to assist with the Services. Fees payable by us, which may be paid in shares of our Common Stock, are determined based on the amount and nature of Services we receive.
In June 2024, we issued to XCOM Labs, Inc. 7,654,036 shares of our Common Stock. This issuance included shares issued as consideration for Services provided under the SSA as well as the release of Holdback Shares under the License Agreement. In June 2024, XCOM Labs, Inc. sold 4,510,854 of such shares of Common Stock issued in June 2024 in a private placement transaction to an affiliate of our controlling stockholder, Thermo Companies.
In connection with the License Agreement, SSA and the related transactions, we agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the 1,964,214 shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholders as described in this prospectus (which includes the 209,546 unsold shares of Common Stock owned by XCOM Labs, Inc. (now known as Virewirx, Inc.), and reflects the impact of the reverse stock split described elsewhere in this prospectus). The number of shares registered and available for resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus reflect the impact of Globalstar’s recently completed reverse stock split. However, the shares issued in connection with the SSA and License Agreement and the subsequent sales transactions described above in this section have not been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of our recently completed 1-for-15 reverse stock split.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As disclosed in this prospectus, in connection with the XCOM Transaction, a portion of the Stock Consideration was delivered directly to lenders of XCOM Labs, Inc. (now known as Virewirx, Inc.), including affiliates of Thermo, which are controlled by our Executive Chairman, Jay Monroe, and affiliates of Dr. Paul E. Jacobs. In particular, we issued shares to Thermo XCOM LLC (as affiliate of Thermo and Globalstar) (1) worth approximately $512,000 as payment of debt owed by XCOM Labs, Inc. and (2) for cash in the amount of approximately $4.25 million.

•through agents; or
•in any combination of the above or by any other legally available means.
A Selling Stockholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of our Common Stock owned by such Selling Stockholder and, if such Selling Stockholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Selling Stockholder’s shares of our Common Stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3), Rule 424(b)(7) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a Selling Stockholder (or Selling Stockholders) under this prospectus. A Selling Stockholder also may transfer its shares of our Common Stock in
9
other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of the shares of our Common Stock, a Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of shares of our Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. A Selling Stockholder may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver such shares to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge such shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these shares. A Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealers or other financial institutions of shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealers or other financial institutions may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the shares less discounts or commissions, if any. Each Selling Stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of such Selling Stockholder’s shares of our Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of shares of our Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders named herein.
Each Selling Stockholder also may resell all or a portion of shares of our Common Stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that such Selling Stockholder meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of that rule.
Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents that act in connection with the sale of shares of our Common Stock might be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
Each Selling Stockholders may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of the shares of our Common Stock to such Selling Stockholder’s members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the shares of our Common Stock acquired in the distribution.
To the extent required, the shares of our Common Stock to be sold, the names of each selling stockholder, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, shares of our Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states shares of our Common Stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
If the Selling Stockholders want to sell shares of our Common Stock under this prospectus in the United States, the Selling Stockholders will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,” with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemptions from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor’s. The broker for a Selling Stockholder will be able to advise
10
such Selling Stockholder in which states shares of our Common Stock are exempt from registration with that state for secondary sales.
Any person who purchases shares of our Common Stock from a Selling Stockholder offered by this prospectus who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.
When the registration statement that includes this prospectus becomes effective, and a Selling Stockholder indicates in which state(s) such Selling Stockholder desires to sell such Selling Stockholder’s shares, we will be able to identify whether such Selling Stockholder will need to register with such state or will be able to rely on an exemption therefrom.
We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares of our Common Stock in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and its affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of shares of our Common Stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of our Common Stock covered by this prospectus, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The registration expenses of any registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and such registration statement becoming effective, will be borne by the Company.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that our directors will not be personally liable to the Company or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that exculpation from liability is not permitted under laws of the State of Delaware as in effect at the time such liability is determined.
In addition, Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended, authorizes us to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which a person is a party by reason of being one of our directors or officers if it is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions. Our certificate of incorporation provides for mandatory indemnification rights, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to any director or officer who (because of the fact that he or she is or was the Company’s director or officer) is involved in a legal proceeding of any nature.
The indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The Company has also purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its officers and directors against loses arising from claims by reason of their legal liability for acts as such officers or directors, subject to limitations and conditions as set form in the policy.

(b)Financial Statement Schedules

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange
II-2
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i)Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5)That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
II-3
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
