Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or the “Company”), a leading provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, today announced that the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) initially filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 16, 2022 as amended on December 6, 2022, registering shares of Class A Common Stock issuable as part of the Company’s previously announced Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation has been declared effective by the SEC. As a result, the Company does not expect or intend to extend the expiration date of the Offer, which is set to expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 14, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”).

Holders of warrants who intend and are eligible to participate in the Offer may tender their warrants in the manner described in the prospectus/offer to exchange, dated November 16, 2022 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and related offering materials previously distributed to each holder.

Previously Announced Terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation

The Offer is being made to holders of the Company’s warrants, consisting of (i) public warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), which warrants trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SPIR.WS” and were issued under the warrant agreement dated September 9, 2020 by and between NavSight Holdings, Inc., the Company’s predecessor (“NavSight”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”) in connection with NavSight’s initial public offering (“IPO”) (the “Public Warrants”), and (ii) private warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock issued under the Warrant Agreement in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO (the “Private Warrants” and, with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Company is offering to all holders of the Warrants the opportunity to receive 0.2 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for each outstanding Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Offer.

Concurrently with the Offer, the Company is also soliciting consents from holders of the Public Warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement to permit the Company to require that each Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.18 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (such amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”). The Warrant Amendment would require approval of holders at least 65% of the Public Warrants. Parties representing approximately 21.0% of the outstanding Public Warrants and 100% of the outstanding Private Warrants have agreed to tender their Public Warrants and Private Warrants (as applicable) in the Offer and to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, pursuant to a tender and support agreement. Accordingly, if holders of an additional approximately 44.0% of the outstanding Public Warrants consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, and the other conditions of the Offer are satisfied or waived, then the Warrant Amendment will be adopted.

The offering period will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 14, 2022, or such later time and date to which the Company may extend, as described in the Company’s Schedule TO, dated November 16, 2022 (as may be amended, the “Schedule TO”), and Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. Tendered Warrants may be withdrawn by holders at any time prior to the Expiration Date. The Company’s obligation to complete the Offer is not conditioned on the tender of a minimum amount of Warrants.
