Inmarsat reports non-payment by LightSquared under Cooperation Agreement

Inmarsat today announces that a payment due from LightSquared under the terms of the Cooperation Agreement between the two companies has not been received. As a result Inmarsat has issued a notice of default to LightSquared in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

On 30 September 2014, a quarterly Phase 2 payment of US$12.5 million and a related payment of US$5.0 million became due, resulting in an aggregate amount due from LightSquared of US$17.5 million. This payment has not been received.

On 1 October 2014 Inmarsat issued a notice of default to LightSquared under the Cooperation Agreement. This notice triggers a period of 60 calendar days during which LightSquared can remedy the payment before Inmarsat is entitled to enforce its rights and remedies under the agreement for payment default, including pre-agreed spectrum arrangements and termination of certain LightSquared rights under the Cooperation Agreement.

The revenue generation of Inmarsat’s group business remains unaffected by today’s announcement.
