MCLEAN, Va. — October 29, 2012 - Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: IRDM) (“Iridium”) today announced that it has amended its offer to exchange the remaining outstanding $7.00 warrants for Iridium common stock. In light of the current severe weather conditions affecting much of the Eastern seaboard, which are forecast to continue through the original expiration of the exchange offer, the Company has extended the exchange offer until Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at midnight EST to allow additional time for warrant holders to tender their $7.00 warrants.
As previously announced, Iridium is offering holders of its $7.00 warrants one share of common stock for every six warrants tendered (equivalent to approximately 0.1667 shares for every warrant tendered). The warrants currently trade under the symbol IRDMW on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Some of the warrants are included in Iridium’s outstanding Units, which trade under the symbol IRDMU on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
Warrant holders who have previously validly tendered and not withdrawn $7.00 warrants do not need to re-tender their warrants or take any other action in response to the extension of this tender offer. The terms and conditions of the tender offer, prior to the amendments described in this release, were set forth in Iridium’s Offer Letter (the “Offer Letter”) and Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal), each dated October 2, 2012, and the other related materials that Iridium distributed to holders of the $7.00 warrants, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as exhibits to Iridium’s Schedule TO on October 2, 2012 (the “Original Tender Offer Materials”). The Original Tender Offer Materials have been amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO, which was filed with the SEC on October 17, 2012, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO, which was filed with the SEC on October 24, 2012 and Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule TO, which was filed with the SEC on October 29, 2012 (collectively, the “Schedule TO Amendments”). The term “tender offer,” when used in this release, shall refer to the terms and conditions described in the Original Tender Offer Materials, as amended and supplemented by the Schedule TO Amendments and this release.
