Amazon to acquire

Globalstar and expand Amazon Leo satellite network

Globalstar satellites,

radio frequency spectrum, and operational expertise will enable Amazon Leo to add Direct-to-Device (D2D) services to future generations

of its low Earth orbit satellite network

New Amazon Leo

D2D system will help mobile network operators extend voice, text, and data services to customers beyond the reach of terrestrial cellular

networks

Amazon and Apple

enter agreement for Amazon Leo to power satellite services for supported iPhone and Apple Watch models, allowing users to text emergency

services, message friends and family, request roadside assistance, and more

SEATTLE & COVINGTON, LA—(BUSINESS

WIRE)—April 14, 2026—Today Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSAT) announced that

they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Amazon will acquire Globalstar, enabling Amazon Leo to add direct-to-device

(D2D) services to its low Earth orbit satellite network and extend cellular coverage to customers beyond the reach of terrestrial networks.

In addition, Amazon and Apple announced an agreement for Amazon Leo to power satellite services for iPhone and Apple Watch1,

including Emergency SOS via satellite. The new capabilities are part of Amazon’s long-term vision for space-based connectivity,

and Amazon plans to work with mobile network operators (MNOs) and additional partners to deliver on that vision and extend reliable,

high-speed connectivity to customers, no matter where they are in the world.

“There are billions of customers

out there living, traveling, and operating in places beyond the reach of existing networks, and we started Amazon Leo to help bridge

that divide,” said Panos Panay, Senior Vice President of Devices & Services, Amazon. “By combining Globalstar’s

proven expertise and strong foundation with Amazon’s customer-obsession and innovation, customers can expect faster, more reliable

service in more places—keeping them connected to the people and things that matter most. We’re excited to support Apple users

through the Leo D2D system, and look forward to working with mobile network partners to help extend coverage to every corner of the planet.”

Amazon acquires Globalstar

Globalstar is a leading mobile satellite

services (MSS) operator, a pioneer in non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellites and D2D technology, and a provider of critical and emergency

communications to customers around the world. As part of the agreement, Amazon will acquire Globalstar’s existing satellite operations,

infrastructure, and assets, including MSS spectrum licenses with global authorizations. Combining Globalstar’s spectrum and established

MSS capabilities with the scale, performance, and reach of Amazon Leo will enable Amazon to deliver continuous connectivity for consumer,

enterprise, and government customers around the world—whether they’re living or working in remote areas or simply moving

in and out of traditional cellular networks. Globalstar’s existing satellite fleet and its new satellites with expanded capabilities

will operate alongside the Amazon Leo broadband system and Amazon’s planned direct-to-device satellite system.

“We have long believed low Earth

orbit satellite constellations offer the most effective path to truly connect users and devices anywhere and anytime,” said Paul

Jacobs, CEO, Globalstar. “For more than 30 years, Globalstar has executed on this vision through sustained, long-term investment

in technological innovation, operational excellence, and development of globally harmonized spectrum across both satellite and terrestrial

applications. The combination with Amazon Leo will advance innovations in digital connectivity that will benefit our customers and advance

us toward a more intelligent, continuously connected world.”

1 Satellite

features available on iPhone 14 and later, and Apple Watch Ultra 3.

Amazon Leo Direct-to-Device (D2D)

Beginning in 2028, Amazon Leo will deploy

its own next-generation D2D satellite system, allowing Amazon to deliver more advanced voice, data, and messaging services to mobile

phones and other cellular devices. The Leo D2D system will offer substantially higher spectrum use and efficiency than legacy direct-to-cell

systems, which translates into faster speeds and better performance for customers. It will also integrate seamlessly with Amazon’s

first- and second-generation Leo systems, forming a powerful, unified network that combines fixed and mobile satellite services to support

a wide range of customers and use cases. The complete Amazon Leo network will include thousands of advanced satellites in low Earth orbit

and have enough capacity to support hundreds of millions of customer endpoints around the world.

Amazon Leo to power Apple satellite

features

In addition to the agreement with Globalstar,

Amazon and Apple signed an agreement to provide satellite connectivity for current and future iPhone and Apple Watch features. Globalstar

currently partners with Apple to power satellite service on iPhone 14 or later, as well as Apple Watch Ultra 3, allowing users to text

emergency services, message friends and family, request roadside assistance, and share their location. With the new Amazon-Apple agreement,

Amazon will continue to support iPhone and Apple Watch models currently using Globalstar’s existing and planned upcoming low Earth

orbit satellite constellations, being manufactured by MDA Space, and collaborate with Apple on future satellite services using Amazon

Leo's expanded satellite network.

“Since launching more than three

years ago, our groundbreaking safety service Emergency SOS via satellite has helped save many lives around the world — from a scout

troop stranded on a winter hike in British Columbia, to a woman who was airlifted to safety in Colorado after her car rolled down a 250-foot

cliff,” said Greg Joswiak, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing, Apple. “Apple and Amazon have a long and

proven track record of working together through Amazon’s core infrastructure services, and we look forward to building on that

collaboration with Amazon Leo. This ensures our users will continue to have access to the vital satellite features they have come to

rely on, including Emergency SOS, Messages, Find My, and Roadside Assistance via satellite, so they can stay safe and connected while

off the grid.”

Connecting more customers globally

The agreements with Globalstar and Apple

will promote innovation and competition across the space, satellite, and telecommunications sector, and support efforts to close the

digital divide globally:

· Accelerates

innovation and expands connectivity options: By combining Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite

network with Globalstar's infrastructure and spectrum assets, the acquisition enables faster

deployment of D2D connectivity at scale—reaching areas where terrestrial deployment

is delayed, cost-prohibitive, or vulnerable to disruption. It will also mean more reliable

mobile data and communications services to consumers, businesses, and governments, while

setting new benchmarks for innovation and giving customers greater choice, flexibility, and

value in a dynamic and highly competitive satellite communications sector.

· Strengthens

resilience for private and public sector: D2D satellite connectivity provides critical

fallback capabilities when terrestrial networks fail during hurricanes, wildfires, floods,

and other disasters—and its utility extends well beyond emergency situations. Higher-capacity

connectivity materially improves emergency response coordination while also enabling a broad

range of everyday and mission-critical use cases, from emergency messaging, search-and-rescue,

and maritime distress to remote workforce connectivity, continuity of government operations, and

rural broadband extension. In day-to-day operations, D2D service closes coverage gaps that

terrestrial networks alone cannot address.

· Drives

economic growth and closes the digital divide: Amazon's multibillion-dollar investment

in Amazon Leo is already creating broad economic opportunity across the U.S., Europe, and

other regions around the world. These new agreements with Globalstar and Apple expand that

roadmap, supporting high-value jobs in engineering, manufacturing, and operations while extending

connectivity to enterprises, IoT applications, fleets, and supply chains operating beyond

terrestrial reach—enabling productivity gains, new business models, and connecting

underserved populations globally.

Key Transaction Terms

Under the terms of the merger agreement,

prior to closing, Globalstar stockholders will elect to receive for each share of Globalstar common stock they own either (i) $90.00

in cash or (ii) 0.3210 shares of Amazon common stock with a value capped at $90.00 per share. This consideration is subject to a

proration mechanism that caps aggregate cash elections to a maximum of 40% of total Globalstar shares, and automatically converts excess

cash consideration into stock consideration on a pro rata basis. The total transaction consideration is also subject to a downward adjustment

of a maximum $110 million in the event Globalstar does not achieve certain operational milestones.

Globalstar stockholders holding approximately

58% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of Globalstar common stock have approved the transaction by written consent.

The transaction is expected to close in 2027, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory

approvals and the achievement by Globalstar of certain HIBLEO-4 replacement satellite milestones.

statements regarding the proposed transactions, are based on Amazon’s and Globalstar’s current expectations and assumptions.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances

that may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical

fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. There is no assurance that these future events will occur as anticipated or

that our results, estimates, or assumptions will be correct, and we caution investors and all others not to place undue reliance on such

forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties,

many of which are beyond Amazon’s and Globalstar’s control.

ability to complete the proposed transactions on the anticipated terms and timing, or at all, including obtaining required regulatory

approvals and the satisfaction of other conditions to the completion of the proposed transactions; (ii) potential litigation relating

as a prospectus an information statement that will be filed with the SEC and available from the sources indicated below.

These risks, as well as other risks related

to the proposed transactions, will be more fully discussed in the registration statement on Form S-4 that will include as a prospectus

an information statement that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transactions. There can be no assurance that

the proposed transactions will be completed, or if completed, that they will close within the anticipated time period. These

factors should not be construed as exhaustive

and should be read in conjunction with the other forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements relate only to events as

of the date on which the statements are made and we undertake no obligation to update, and expressly disclaim any obligation to update,

any forward-looking statements, or any other information in this communication, whether resulting from developments, circumstances, or

events that arise after the date the statements are made, new information, or otherwise. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties

materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we may have expressed

or implied by these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible
