Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on September 25, 2018, a shareholder action was filed against Globalstar, Inc. (the “Company” or “Globalstar”), members of the Board of Directors, Thermo Companies, Inc., and certain members of Globalstar management in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Mudrick Capital Management, LP, et al. v. Monroe, et al., C.A. No. 2018-0699-TMR (the "Action").

On December 14, 2018, all parties to the Action, including plaintiffs Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. (“Mudrick Capital”) and Warlander Asset Management (“Warlander”, and, together with Mudrick Capital, the “Plaintiffs”), entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”). The material provisions of the Settlement Agreement are described below.

The Plaintiffs have agreed to release and dismiss with prejudice all claims in the Action.

The Company has agreed to conduct an equity offering pursuant to which shares of its Common Stock will be sold to investors at market price (unless otherwise agreed by the settling parties), as measured by the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock during the two (2) business days of trading prior to the pricing of such offering), in an amount of not more than $60 million (excluding the underwriter’s over-allotment option), that is open to all the qualified and readily identifiable holders of the Company’s Common Stock on a pro rata basis based on their ownership (such offering, the “Financing”).

Each of the Plaintiffs and Thermo have agreed to support the Financing by (i) committing to purchase, upon the signing of the Settlement Agreement, their pro rata share of the financing, on equal terms and based on their respective ownership of the Company’s outstanding shares (5.6% for Mudrick Capital, 2.8% for Warlander and 53.0% for Thermo) and (ii) upon signing the Settlement Agreement, providing a backstop commitment to purchase the shares offered to persons other than the Plaintiffs and Thermo but not purchased by such persons, on a pro rata basis based on their current respective ownership of the Company’s outstanding shares (9.1% for Mudrick Capital, 4.6% for Warlander and 86.3% for Thermo).

The Company has agreed to amend its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to provide that, so long as Thermo and its affiliates beneficially own at least 45% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, two of the seven members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Minority Directors”) will be elected by the vote of a plurality of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock other than Thermo and its affiliates (the “Independent Stockholders”).

The initial Minority Directors, Ben Wolff and Keith Cowan, have been designated by the Plaintiffs. The parties have agreed that Michael Lovett will be appointed to the Board as an independent director and Tim Taylor will be appointed to the Board as a director. One of the Minority Directors will be appointed to the Company’s Compensation Committee and one of the Minority Directors will be appointed to Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee. To permit the addition to the Board of Mr. Wolff, Mr. Cowan, Mr. Lovett and Mr. Taylor, four of the Company’s current directors agreed upon by the parties will resign.

The Company has agreed to amend its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to provide that so long as Thermo and its affiliates beneficially own at least 45% of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions, approval by a majority of shares held by Independent Stockholders is required for any related-party transaction with a value of $5 million or more between the Company and Thermo and its affiliates.

The Company has also agreed to amend its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to provide that so long as Thermo and its affiliates beneficially own at least 45% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, the Company will maintain a strategic review committee of its Board of Directors (the “Strategic Review Committee”). The Strategic Review Committee will consist of the two then-serving Minority Directors and two independent directors appointed by the then-serving Board; provided, however, that, subject to the Minority Directors’ right to remove him with or without cause, Mr. Taylor will initially be a member of the Strategic Review Committee. The other initial members of the Strategic Review Committee will be Mr. Wolff, Mr. Cowen and Mr. Hasler.






To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Strategic Review Committee will have exclusive responsibility for the oversight, review and approval of (i) subject to certain exceptions, any acquisition by Thermo and its affiliates of additional newly-issued securities of the Company; (ii) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Company or any sale or transfer of assets of any of its subsidiaries which are material to the Company; (iv) any further change in the Board, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors (provided that only elections of Minority Directors shall be within the authority of the Strategic Review Committee); (v) subject to certain exceptions, any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (vi) any other material changes in the Company’s lines of business or corporate structure; and (vii) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction between the Company and Thermo and its affiliates with a value in excess of $250,000. The approval of any of the foregoing transactions will require the vote of at least three members of the Strategic Review Committee.

Thermo has agreed that it will convert all its outstanding subordinated debt to equity at the contractual conversion price within five business days after any of the following events: (i) the refinancing of 85% or more of the Company’s bank debt; (ii) extension of the maturity of all of the Company’s bank debt of two years or more; (iii) a refinancing of at least $150 million of the Company’s bank debt with a minimum two year extension on the remaining balance, or (iii) an amortization holiday or holidays pursuant to which the Company is relieved of the obligation to make principal payments on the Company’s bank debt for two years or longer.

The Company has also agreed, upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, to publicly issue a press release disclosing the principal terms of the settlement and stating that it is anticipated that the first order of business of the Strategic Review Committee will be to assess financing options for the Company’s balance sheet.

An agreement that the Plaintiffs reserve the right to make a petition to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses; however, any award to Plaintiffs’ counsel for fees and expenses shall be determined by the court of the State of Delaware.

The effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement is subject to satisfaction of reasonable due diligence by the Plaintiffs, as well as approval by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The foregoing description of the settlement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Richard S. Roberts, J. Patrick McIntyre, Kenneth M. Young and John M. R. Kneuer have volunteered to step down from their positions on the Company's Board of Directors. Their resignations will be effective concurrent with the effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement. Mr. Roberts served as Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee and was a Class A director with a three-year term expiring in 2019. Mr. McIntyre served on the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee and was a Class A director with a three-year term expiring in 2019. Mr. Young served on the Nominating and Governance Committee and was a Class C director with a three-year term expiring in 2021. Mr. Kneuer served on the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee and was a Class B director with a three-year term expiring in 2020. Following such resignations, all unvested Company equity awards previously granted to the Resigning Directors will vest.

In connection with the Settlement Agreement and to fill the four vacancies left by the agreed-upon departure of four existing board members, Keith Cowan, Ben Wolff, Michael Lovett and Timothy Taylor will be appointed as members of the Company's Board of Directors.

Mr. Cowan, 62, will serve as a Class A director, who will stand for re-election at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Cowan will serve on the Strategic Review Committee.

Until April 2012, Mr. Lovett served as the CEO and President of Charter Communications. Previously he was COO and joined Charter in August 2003 as Senior Vice President of Operations.

STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT, COMPROMISE AND RELEASE
This Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release (the “Stipulation”) is made and entered into as of December 14, 2018, and is intended to fully, finally, and forever resolve, discharge, and settle any and all claims in the above-captioned action (the “Action”) between and among (i) plaintiffs Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. (“Mudrick Capital”) and Warlander Asset Management, LP (“Warlander”) (collectively “Plaintiffs”), on behalf of themselves and derivatively on



behalf of Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar” or the “Company”); (ii) defendants James Monroe III, James Lynch, Richard Roberts, William Hasler, John Kneuer, J. Patrick McIntyre, and Kenneth Young (collectively, the “Director Defendants”); (iii) defendants Kyle Pickens and Tim Taylor (collectively, the “Employee Defendants”); (iv) defendant Thermo Companies, Inc. (“Thermo”)1; and (v) defendant and nominal defendant Globalstar (the Director Defendants, the Employee Defendants, Thermo, and Globalstar (in its capacity as a defendant) are collectively referred to herein as the “Defendants”) (Plaintiffs, Defendants, and Globalstar (in its capacity as a nominal defendant) are collectively referred to herein as the “Settling Parties”). This Stipulation sets forth the terms and conditions of the settlement of the Action (the “Settlement”), subject to the approval of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”).
SUMMARY OF THE PROCEEDINGS
A.On April 24, 2018, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Globalstar (the “Special Committee”) comprised of McIntyre, Hasler, Kneuer, and Young (the “Special Committee Directors”) unanimously approved the terms of a

_____________________
1    There is no entity known as “Thermo Companies, Inc.” However, that term as used in the Complaint and herein refers to a group of entities owned directly and through one or more subsidiaries by Defendant James Monroe III, including (without limitation) Thermo Capital Partners, L.L.C. and its Affiliates.

merger between Globalstar and Thermo Acquisitions, Inc., an affiliate of Thermo, in exchange for Globalstar common stock valued at approximately $1.645 billion (the “Merger”). Later the same day, the Board of Directors of Globalstar (the “Board”) unanimously approved the Merger.
B.On May 4, 2018, Mudrick Capital sent a demand pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 to inspect certain books and records of Globalstar. Globalstar rejected the demand, but offered to meet and confer with Mudrick Capital with respect to the requested documents.
C.On May 17, 2018, Mudrick Capital commenced an action in the Court captioned Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. v. Globalstar, Inc., C.A. No. 2018-0351-TMR, by filing a Verified Complaint for Inspection of Books and Records (the “Section 220 Action”). During the course of the Section 220 Action, Globalstar and certain of the Director Defendants produced certain agreed-upon documents to Mudrick Capital.
D.On July 30, 2018, after trial, briefing, and oral argument, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion directing Globalstar and certain of the Director Defendants to provide additional books and records to Mudrick Capital. In accordance with that Opinion and the parties’ subsequent stipulation, Globalstar and certain of the Director

3


Defendants made productions to Mudrick Capital on August 7, August 14, August 21, August 28, September 4, September 6, and September 20.
E.On August 1, 2018, Globalstar and Thermo announced that they had terminated the Merger by mutual written agreement.
F.On September 25, 2018, Plaintiffs commenced the Action by filing a Verified Complaint for Derivative and Direct Claims (the “Complaint”) challenging the approval of the Merger by the Special Committee and the Board and certain other related actions. As noted below, Defendants deny the allegations of the Complaint. The Complaint asserts, inter alia, that:
(i)Monroe’s pre-announced sale of 38 million shares of Globalstar stock (approximately 3% of the total outstanding shares) to the market in December 2017, was allegedly designed to depress the value of Globalstar’s common stock in anticipation of the Merger and was at a time Monroe was allegedly in possession of material, adverse, non-public information about the Company, and therefore constituted insider trading in breach of his fiduciary duties;
(ii)The merger significantly undervalued Globalstar, and the Director Defendants’ consideration and approval of the Merger constituted a breach of the Directors Defendants’ fiduciary duties;
(iii)The grant of Restricted Stock Units to the Director Defendants in February 2018 constituted unjust enrichment to the Director Defendants;

4


(iv)Monroe’s and Thermo’s involvement in the sales process and approval of the Merger constituted a breach of their fiduciary duties as controlling stockholders;
(v)The Employee Defendants aided and abetted the Director Defendants’ alleged breach of their fiduciary duties;
(vi)Monroe’s actions warrant a declaratory judgment that he breached his duty of loyalty to Globalstar; and
(vii)Plaintiffs are entitled to their attorneys’ fees associated with their actions that allegedly caused Globalstar to terminate the Merger.
G.The Complaint seeks relief including (i) declarations that the Director Defendants and Thermo breached fiduciary duties owed to Globalstar and that the Employee Defendants aided and abetted such breach, (ii) compensatory and rescissory damages for losses allegedly incurred by Globalstar as a result of such alleged wrongdoing, (iii) compensatory damages for losses allegedly suffered by Plaintiffs as a result of such alleged wrongdoing, and (iv) an award of attorneys’ fees and costs to Plaintiffs.
H.On October 8, 2018, Plaintiffs served on certain Defendants their First Request for Production of Documents Directed to Defendants and Nominal Defendant.
I.On October 11, 2018, Plaintiffs served a subpoena duces tecum on Moelis & Company, which had served as the financial advisor to the Special Committee in

5


connection with its review of the Merger in 2018; and, on October 12, 2018, Plaintiffs served a subpoena duces tecum on Allen & Company LLC and a subpoena duces tecum on Centerview Partners LLC, each of which had served as a financial advisor to the Special Committee in connection with its review of a prior proposed transaction between Globalstar and Thermo in 2017.
J.Beginning in early October 2018, representatives of the Plaintiffs and certain Defendants began discussing a potential resolution of claims that Plaintiffs had asserted, which resolution would include resignation of Director Defendants, election to the Globalstar Board of two new independent directors nominated by Plaintiffs and elected by stockholders other than the Thermo Parties, and significant corporate governance changes.
K.On October 29, 2018, the principals of Plaintiffs, Thermo and Globalstar met in person to further discuss the proposed settlement. Thereafter, representatives of the Settling Parties continued to engage in arm’s-length negotiations concerning the terms of the potential settlement.
L.On December 14, 2018, after extensive arm’s-length negotiations among the Settling Parties, who were all represented by counsel with extensive experience and expertise in stockholder litigation, the Settling Parties reached an agreement on the terms of this Stipulation providing for the settlement of Plaintiffs’ claims against

6


Defendants in the Action on the terms set forth therein, subject to due diligence. The Settlement set forth herein reflects the results of the Settling Parties’ negotiations.
M.Plaintiffs believe that the claims asserted in the Action had merit when filed and continue to have merit, and Plaintiffs are settling the claims asserted in the Action because they believe that the Settlement will provide significant value to Globalstar and its stockholders.
N.Defendants are entering into the Settlement solely because it will eliminate the distraction, burden, expense, and uncertainty of further protracted litigation. Defendants deny, and continue to deny, the principal facts alleged in the Complaint, and specifically deny that any of them has committed or threatened to commit any violations of law, breaches of duty, or other wrongdoing toward Globalstar, Plaintiffs, or anyone else concerning any of the claims or requests for relief set forth in the Complaint. Defendants expressly deny that Plaintiffs have asserted any valid claims as to any of them, and expressly deny any and all allegations of fault, liability, wrongdoing, or damages. This Settlement shall in no event be construed or deemed to be evidence of or an admission or concession on the part of any of Defendants, with respect to any claim or allegation of any fault or liability or wrongdoing or damage whatsoever, or any infirmity in the defenses that the Defendants have, or could have, asserted.

7


O.The Board has determined that a settlement pursuant to the terms set forth in this Stipulation is fair and reasonable, and is advisable and in the best interests of Globalstar and its stockholders.
P.The Settling Parties did not begin negotiating the amount of any application by Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel for an award of attorneys’ fees until after they had reached agreement on all material terms of this Stipulation.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, BY AND AMONG THE PARTIES TO THIS STIPULATION, subject to the approval of the Court, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the adequacy of which is acknowledged and agreed to by the undersigned counsel on behalf of the Settling Parties, the Settling Parties agree as follows:

1.23“Unknown Claims” means claims that a Settling Party did not know or suspect to exist at the time of agreeing to a Release, which if known, might have affected the Settling Parties’ decision to enter into such Release. Upon the Effective Date, Plaintiffs and Defendants shall have expressly waived and relinquished and, by operation of the Judgment, each and every other Current Globalstar Stockholder and each and every other Defendant Releasee shall be deemed to have waived and relinquished, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any equivalent, comparable, or analogous provisions of the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof, or of the common law). Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

14


Plaintiffs, in their individual capacities and derivatively on behalf of Globalstar, acknowledge that they may discover facts in addition to or different from those now known or believed to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Plaintiffs’ Released Claims, but that it is their intention to fully, finally, and forever settled and release with prejudice any and all of the Plaintiffs’ Released Claims, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts, to the fullest extent permitted by law; and Defendants acknowledge that they may discover facts in addition to or different from those now known or believed to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Defendants’ Released Claims, but that it is their intention to fully, finally, and forever settle and release with prejudice any and all of the Defendants’ Released Claims, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
II.
TERMS OF SETTLEMENT AND RELEASES
A.Settlement Consideration.
2.1Settlement Consideration: In consideration for the full settlement and release of the claims asserted in the Action:
2.1.1    Financing: Promptly following execution of this Stipulation, Globalstar will take the steps necessary to conduct an equity offering pursuant to which shares of Globalstar common equity are issued at market price (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties), as measured by the volume-weighted average closing price of

15


Globalstar stock during the two (2) business days of trading prior to the pricing of such offering issued to the public, in an amount recommended by Globalstar’s management of not more than $60 million (excluding the underwriter’s option), that is open to all qualified and readily identifiable Globalstar investors on a pro rata basis (the “Financing”). Each of Plaintiffs and Thermo will support the Financing by (i) each committing to purchase, upon the signing of the Stipulation, their pro rata share of the Financing, on equal terms and based on their respective ownerships of Globalstar’s outstanding shares (5.6% for Mudrick, 2.8% for Warlander and 53.0% for Thermo) and (ii) providing a backstop of the Financing, upon the signing of the Stipulation, by which each of Plaintiffs and Thermo will purchase on equal terms their pro rata share, based on their respective equity ownerships of the shares owned by Plaintiffs and Thermo, of the shares offered to persons other than Plaintiffs and Thermo, but not purchased by such persons (9.1% for Mudrick, 4.6% for Warlander and 86.3% for Thermo).
2.1.2    Corporate Governance: Immediately upon Plaintiffs’ affirmation after completion of the due diligence provided for in Paragraph 3.1 hereof that they will proceed with the Settlement, the Parties agree to commence taking all steps necessary to accomplish the following terms in Paragraph 2.1.2. To effectuate and implement the changes set forth below, as soon as reasonably practicable under applicable federal securities laws, Globalstar’s Certificate of Incorporation shall be

16


amended in the form set forth in Exhibit D and the Bylaws of Globalstar, Inc. shall be amended in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.
(a)Minority Stockholder Board Representatives: Until such time as the Thermo Parties no longer beneficially own 45% or more of Globalstar’s outstanding Common Stock (the “Relevant Time Period”), two of the seven Board seats shall be held by director nominees (“Minority Directors”) elected by a plurality vote of Independent Stockholders entitled to vote thereon. Those changes shall be effectuated as follows:
(i)Plaintiffs shall designate Ben Wolff and Keith Cowan to serve as the initial Minority Directors (the “Initial Minority Directors”);
(ii)Globalstar shall designate Michael Lovett, who qualifies as an Independent Director (defined in Paragraph 2.1.2(c)), and Tim Taylor to serve on the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Mr. Lovett nor Mr. Taylor shall be considered a Minority Director.
(iii)Four Defendants agreed upon by the Parties (the “Resigning Directors”) shall resign as members of the Board, and upon such resignations, all awards of Globalstar equity previously granted to the Resigning Directors shall become vested;
(iv)Upon the resignations of the Resigning Directors, the remaining members of the Board shall appoint Mr. Wolff and Mr. Cowan as the Initial Minority

17


Directors and shall appoint Mr. Lovett and Mr. Taylor as Directors, each of whom shall serve for the remaining terms of their respective director classes as follows:
        
Ben Wolff .................................
Class A
Keith Cowan ............................
Class A
Michael Lovett .........................
Class C
Tim Taylor ................................
Class B
(v)Contemporaneous with the appointment of the Initial Minority Directors, the remaining members of the Board shall appoint one Initial Minority Director to serve as a member of the Compensation Committee and one Initial Minority Director to serve as a member of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee;
(vi)The Board shall adopt a resolution establishing the Strategic Review Committee, with all of the powers and responsibilities defined in Paragraph 2.1.2(c), effective immediately and to remain in place until adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation contemplated by Paragraph 2.1.2; and
(vii)During the Relevant Time Period,
a.Following the expiration of the terms of the Initial Minority Directors, future Minority Directors shall be elected by a plurality vote of the Globalstar shares held by the Independent Stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Minority Directors; provided that the Thermo Parties shall not be entitled to

18


vote on, or consent to, or have any voting power with respect to the election (including to fill a vacancy) or removal without cause of the Minority Directors;
b.Vacancies in any directorship previously held by a Minority Director may be filled only by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting or special meeting called by the Strategic Review Committee, and entitled to vote on the election of Minority Directors;
c.Minority Directors shall be nominated in accordance with Paragraph 2.1.2(c) hereof or by a stockholder other than the Thermo Parties; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Thermo Parties may suggest individuals for nomination as Minority Directors to the Strategic Review Committee; and
d.In the event the Board is expanded, the first two (2) additional members of the Board nominated by the Board shall be seasoned experts in the telecom industry approved by the Strategic Review Committee (as described in Paragraph 2.1.2(c) hereof) and by Monroe, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

19


(b)Independent Stockholder Review: During the Relevant Time Period, the Company shall not have power to effect a Related Party Transaction unless such Related Party Transaction shall be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares of common stock owned by stockholders other than the Thermo Parties and voting affirmatively or negatively on the matter. A “Related Party Transaction” shall mean any transaction between Globalstar, on the one hand, and one or more of the Thermo Parties, on the other hand, that either (i) requires a stockholder vote pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (ii) has a value (as determined in good faith by the Strategic Review Committee) of $5,000,000 or more; provided, however, that none of the following shall be a Related Party Transaction: (i) a financing that includes participation by one or more of the Thermo Parties on terms equal (as determined in good faith by the Board) to other parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the equity offering or similarly structured capital raising transaction contemplated by the Judgment) (a “Permitted Financing”), (ii) the conversion of subordinated debt held by Thermo into capital stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of such debt as existing as of the Effective Date (a “Debt Conversion”), (iii) the exercise of options by the Thermo Parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Monroe) in accordance with the terms of such options as existing as of the Effective Date (an “Option Conversion”), and (iv) a lease with respect to the Company’s headquarters (a “Lease” and with any Permitted Financing, any Debt

20


Conversion, and any Option Conversion, a “Carve Out Transaction”). Any determination made by the Strategic Review Committee or the Board pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation shall be final, conclusive and binding.
(c)Strategic Review Committee: The Board shall adopt a resolution establishing the Strategic Review Committee Charter as set forth in Exhibit F hereto and Globalstar’s Certificate of Incorporation shall be amended as set forth in Exhibit D hereto requiring that the Board shall establish a standing Strategic Review Committee that shall remain in place through the end of the Relevant Time Period.
(i)Unless the Strategic Review Committee is prohibited under applicable law from having the power or authority to act on any of the following matters, the Strategic Review Committee shall have exclusive responsibility for oversight, review, and approval (to the extent permitted by law) or disapproval of the business matters set forth in this Paragraph 2.1.2(c); provided that, to the extent that any of the following business matters, or any matter set forth in the charter of the Strategic Review Committee as set forth in Exhibit F, cannot be approved solely by the Strategic Review Committee and requires approval of the full Board under applicable law, the Company shall not have the power to take such action, and any such action shall be void ab initio, unless such action is approved by the Board only after the approval of such action has been recommended to the Board by the Strategic Review Committee:

21


a.Any acquisition by the Thermo Parties of additional newly-issued securities of the Company (other than pursuant to a Permitted Financing, a Debt Conversion or an Option Conversion);
b.Any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
c.Any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any sale or transfer of assets of any of the Company’s subsidiaries which are material to the Company;
d.Any change in the Board, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors; other than (a) nominations for election or reelection to the Board (except nominations for election or reelection of Minority Directors in connection with the end of a term of a Minority Director, which shall be within the authority of the Strategic Review Committee) and (b) nominations and appointments of individuals to fill vacancies or newly created directorships (except nominations and appointments to fill vacancies of Minority Director seats, which shall be within the authority of the Strategic Review Committee);
e.Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company (other than pursuant to a Permitted Financing, a Debt Conversion or an Option Conversion);

22


f.Any other material changes in the Company’s lines of business or corporate structure (other than pursuant to a Permitted Financing, a Debt Conversion or an Option Conversion); and
g.Any transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and one or more of the Thermo Parties, on the other hand, that has a value (as determined in good faith by the Strategic Review Committee) in excess of $250,000, except for any Permitted Financing, any Debt Conversion, any Option Conversion, and subject to the matters discussed on a Schedule delivered by Defendants’ Counsel to Plaintiffs’ Counsel pursuant to the Judgment and on file at the Company’s headquarters.
(ii)The Board shall appoint four (4) directors to serve on the Strategic Review Committee, two of whom shall consist of the then-serving Minority Directors, and the other two of whom shall be independent directors (as determined in good faith by the Board, but at a minimum, who would qualify (as determined in good faith by the Board) as “independent directors” under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange) (an “Independent Director”); provided that (a) Monroe shall not serve as a member of the Strategic Review Committee (but the Strategic Review Committee may consult with Monroe as it deems appropriate); and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, solely for purposes of constituting the Strategic Review Committee, the requirement of an Independent Director shall

23


be waived for one time (and one time only) to allow Tim Taylor to be appointed to and serve on the Strategic Review Committee.
(iii)Contemporaneous with the adoption of the resolution establishing the Strategic Review Committee provided for in Paragraph 2.1.2(a)(vi), the Board shall appoint Ben Wolff, Keith Cowan, William Hasler, and Tim Taylor as the initial members of the Strategic Review Committee; provided that, during a fourteen (14) day period commencing on the date six (6) months after the adoption of the resolution establishing the Strategic Review Committee, and recurring at each six (6) month interval thereafter for as long as Mr. Taylor is serving on the committee, the then-serving Minority Directors may, by notice signed by each Minority Director and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, remove Mr. Taylor as a member of the Strategic Review Committee with or without cause (at which time Mr. Taylor shall be disqualified from serving on the Strategic Review Committee and shall not be deemed an Independent Director for any purpose). In the event that Mr. Taylor departs from the Strategic Review Committee for any reason whatsoever, the Board shall appoint Michael Lovett to serve on the Strategic Review Committee, unless Mr. Lovett is no longer a director of Globalstar, in which case the Board shall appoint an Independent Director to serve on the Strategic Review Committee.
(iv)The Strategic Review Committee shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of its authorized number of members (regardless of vacancies thereon)

24


in order to take action at a meeting; provided that, (a) to the extent the Strategic Review Committee fails to obtain such vote on any particular matter of business before it, the Strategic Review Committee shall consult with the Board until such vote is obtained and (b) in the event the Strategic Review Committee cannot obtain such vote for any single nominee for Minority Director, then the Strategic Review Committee shall nominate two (2) such nominees for each Minority Director seat subject to election, and the members of the Strategic Review Committee who are Minority Directors shall each have three votes with respect to one nominee for Minority Director and the members of the Strategic Review Committee who are not Minority Directors shall each have three votes with respect to the other nominee for Minority Director. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Strategic Review Committee may nominate and include on the annual or special meeting proxy card two candidates for a Minority Director seat.
(v)In the event that the Strategic Review Committee is required to review a Related Party Transaction, the Strategic Review Committee may convene (for purposes of discussions but not to vote) in executive session outside the presence of any employee or Affiliate of the Thermo Parties.
2.1.3    Conversion: Upon the Effective Date, Thermo shall agree that it will convert all of its outstanding subordinated debt to equity at its contractual conversion price within five (5) business days after any of the following events: (i)

25


the refinancing of 85% or more of Globalstar’s bank debt; (ii) extension of the maturity of all of Globalstar’s bank debt of two years or more; (iii) a minimum $150 million refinancing of Globalstar’s bank debt with a minimum two year extension on the remaining balance; or (iv) amortization holiday or holidays pursuant to which Globalstar is relieved of the obligation to make principal payments for two years or longer (the “Conversion”).
2.1.4    Public Announcements: Upon execution of this Stipulation, Globalstar shall publicly issue a press release as set forth in Exhibit G hereto and shall also furnish such press release on a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The press release shall disclose the principal terms of the Settlement and state that it is anticipated that the first order of business of the Strategic Review Committee will be to assess financing options for the Company’s existing bank debt.
B.RELEASE OF CLAIMS
2.2The obligations incurred pursuant to this Stipulation are in consideration of (i) the full and final disposition of all claims asserted in the Action by Plaintiffs; and (ii) the Releases provided for herein.
2.3Pursuant to the Judgment, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement:
(a)Plaintiffs, in their individual capacities and derivatively on behalf of Globalstar, and each and every other Current Globalstar Stockholder, derivatively on behalf of Globalstar, shall fully, finally, and forever release, settle, and discharge

26


each of the Plaintiffs’ Released Claims against each of the Defendant Releasees, except that, to the extent that the Court enters a judgment in advance of any Fee and Expense Award (as defined in Paragraph 4.2), Count VII of the Complaint shall be released upon final resolution of such application for Fees and Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Plaintiffs’ Released Claims include all of the claims that were asserted against Defendants in the Action or could have been asserted against Defendants based on the facts alleged in the Action, but do not include claims based on future conduct of the Defendant Releasees, including any conduct of the Defendant Releasees after the date of execution of this Stipulation, that are unrelated to this Action.
(b)Defendants and the other Defendant Releasees, on behalf of themselves and any other person or entity who could assert any of the Defendants’ Released Claims on their behalf, shall fully, finally, and forever release, settle, and discharge each of the Defendants’ Released Claims against each of the Plaintiff Releasees. For the avoidance of doubt, the Defendants’ Released Claims do not include claims based on future conduct of the Plaintiff Releasees, including any conduct of the Plaintiff Releasees after the date of execution of this Stipulation, that are unrelated to this Action.

27


2.4The contemplated releases are not intended to release and shall not be deemed to release any rights or obligations of the Settling Parties under the terms of the Stipulation.
III.
DUE DILIGENCE
3.1The Settlement is subject to the completion of reasonable due diligence by Plaintiffs. In connection with this due diligence, among other things, Defendants shall produce to Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel, as shall be negotiated in good faith among Plaintiffs and Defendants, such documents and information and one or more knowledgeable deposition witnesses, as are necessary for Plaintiffs to understand the details of their allegations and claims asserted in the Complaint and the adequacy of the Settlement. The scope and timing of due diligence shall be reasonable and mutually agreed upon by the Settling Parties.
3.2    Plaintiffs, by and through Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel, shall have the right to withdraw from this Stipulation and the proposed Settlement if they, in their good faith discretion, determine that the information produced during the due diligence renders the proposed Settlement unfair, unreasonable, or inadequate. Any such withdrawal shall be made in a written notice to Defendants within ten (10) calendar days after the completion of Defendants’ production of documents and any depositions that have been agreed to by the Parties. Any withdrawal from the Stipulation and the

28


Settlement by Plaintiffs will trigger the termination provisions set forth in Paragraph 6.4 of this Stipulation.
IV.
ATTORNEYS FEES AND EXPENSES
4.1Plaintiffs reserve the right to make a petition to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses (the “Fees and Expenses”). Upon execution of this Stipulation and before the mailing of the Notice, the Parties’ respective counsel agree to negotiate in good faith an agreement with respect to an application by Plaintiffs for the Fees and Expenses that Defendants will not oppose, such that the terms of such agreement, if reached, will be included in the Notice mailed to Globalstar stockholders. Defendants reserve the right to oppose any such petition for Fees and Expenses on any ground. Any award of Plaintiffs’ counsel for Fees and Expenses shall be determined by the Court.
4.2Globalstar (or its successor-in-interest) or its insurers shall pay or cause to be paid to Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel any attorneys’ fees and expenses that are awarded by the Court (the “Fee and Expense Award”). Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel shall provide Defendants’ Counsel wiring instructions for payment of the Fee and Expense Award on or before ten (10) business days prior to the Settlement Hearing, and Globalstar (or its successor-in-interest) or its insurers shall pay or cause to be paid to Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel no later than two (2) business days after the date that the Court’s order granting the Fee and Expense Award has become Final.

29


4.3An award of attorneys’ fees or expenses, or both, is not a necessary term of the Settlement and shall not be a condition of the Settlement. Neither Plaintiffs nor Plaintiffs’ Counsel may cancel or terminate the Settlement based on the Court’s or any appellate court’s ruling with respect to attorneys’ fees or expenses.
4.4Except as provided in this Stipulation, Defendant Releasees shall bear no other expenses, costs, damages, or fees alleged or incurred by Plaintiffs or by any of their attorneys, experts, advisors, agents or representatives in connection with the claims asserted in the Action or the Settlement.
V.
SUBMISSION AND APPLICATION TO THE COURT
5.1As soon as practicable following the completion of Plaintiffs’ due diligence hereunder (assuming that Plaintiffs do not withdraw from this Stipulation), Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel shall submit the Stipulation together with its related documents to the Court and the Settling Parties shall apply jointly for entry of the Scheduling Order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, providing for, among other things: (i) approval of the form and content of the proposed notice of the Settlement; and (ii) a date for the Settlement Hearing.
5.2Globalstar shall be responsible for providing notice of the Settlement to Current Globalstar Stockholders. In accordance with the terms of the Scheduling Order to be entered by the Court, no later than five (5) business days after the date of entry of the Scheduling Order, Globalstar (or its successor-in-interest) shall (i) file

30


a copy of the Notice as an exhibit to a Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) post a copy of the Notice (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B), this Stipulation, and the Complaint on Globalstar’s corporate website, which documents shall remain posted on Globalstar’s corporate website through the Effective Date of the Settlement. Globalstar (or its successor-in-interest), on behalf of all other Defendants, shall pay or cause to be paid any and all Notice Costs, irrespective of whether the Court approves the Settlement, and in no event shall Plaintiffs or their counsel be responsible for any Notice Costs.
5.3At the Settlement Hearing, the Settling Parties shall jointly request that the Court enter the Judgment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
VI.    STANDSTILL AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
6.1    Pending final determination of whether the Settlement should be approved, the Settling Parties agree not to institute, commence, prosecute, continue, or in any way participate in any action or other proceeding asserting any Plaintiffs’ Released Claims against any Defendant Releasees or any Defendants’ Released Claims against any Plaintiff Releasees. Pursuant to the Scheduling Order, all stockholders of Globalstar will be enjoined, pending the Effective Date of the Settlement, from filing or pursuing any Plaintiffs’ Released Claims against any Defendant Releasees.

31


6.2Nothing herein shall in any way modify, impair, or restrict the rights or obligations of any party to defend this Stipulation or to otherwise respond in the event any person or entity objects to the Stipulation, the proposed Judgment to be entered, and/or the fee and expense application.
6.3This Stipulation shall be terminated, and shall be null and void and of no force and effect, unless otherwise agreed to by the Settling Parties pursuant to the terms hereof, if (i) either Party exercises a right to terminate the Settlement pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation; or (ii) the Effective Date of the Settlement otherwise fails to occur. If the Stipulation is terminated, then: (i) this Stipulation, and the Settlement, including, but not limited to, the Releases provided herein, shall be null and void; (ii) the fact of the Settlement shall not be admissible in any proceeding before any court or tribunal; (iii) the Settling Parties shall be deemed to have reverted to their respective litigation positions in the Action as of immediately prior to the execution of this Stipulation; (iv) the Settling Parties shall proceed in all respects as if this Stipulation and any related orders had not been entered; and (v) the Settling Parties shall consent to the Court entering any orders necessary to restore the Settling Parties to the positions that they would have been in as if this Stipulation and any related orders had not been entered, except that no such order shall alter the Financing.
6.4Pending final determination of whether the Settlement should be approved, the Initial Minority Directors shall tender a conditional resignation to the

32


Board until the Effective Date. The conditional resignations shall become effective if and only if the Settlement is rejected and all appeals have expired or failed, or if the Stipulation is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms stated herein.
VII.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
7.1    All of the exhibits attached hereto are hereby incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

7.2This Stipulation reflects, among other things, the compromise and settlement of disputed claims among the Settling Parties. The Settlement and the provisions contained in this Stipulation shall not be deemed a presumption, concession, or admission by any Settling Party of any fault, liability, wrongdoing, or any infirmity or weakness of any claim or defense, as to any facts or claims asserted in the Action that have been or might be alleged or asserted in the Action, or any other action or proceeding that has been, will be, or could be brought, and shall not be interpreted, construed, deemed, invoked offered, or received in evidence or otherwise used by any person in the Action, or in any other action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or administrative, for any purpose other than as permitted by applicable court rules and rules of evidence.

33


7.3Plaintiffs and their counsel and Defendants and their counsel agree not to assert in any forum that this Action was brought by Plaintiffs or defended by Defendants in bad faith or without a reasonable basis. The Settling Parties agree that the Settlement consideration and the other terms of the Settlement were negotiated at arm’s-length and in good faith by the Settling Parties, and reflect the Settlement that was reached voluntarily after extensive negotiations and consultation with experienced legal counsel, who were fully competent to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their respective clients’ claims or defenses.
7.4This Stipulation shall be construed in all respects as jointly drafted and shall not be construed, in any way, against any Settling Party on the ground that the party or its counsel drafted this Stipulation.
7.5Headings have been inserted for convenience only and will not be used in determining the terms of this Stipulation.
7.6This Stipulation may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by signature transmitted via facsimile, or by a .pdf/.tiff image of the signature transmitted via email. All executed counterparts and each of them shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

7.9Each Plaintiff represents and warrants as to itself that it has not assigned the claims asserted in the Action, or any of its Plaintiffs’ Released Claims, to any other person.
7.10This Stipulation and the exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement among the Settling Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all written or oral communications, agreements, or understandings that may have existed prior to the execution of this Stipulation. No representations, warranties or statements of any nature whatsoever, whether written or oral, have been made to or relied upon by any of the Settling Parties concerning this Stipulation or the exhibits hereto, other than the representations, warranties and covenants expressly set forth in such documents.
7.11This Stipulation shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Settling Parties and their respective agents, executors, heirs, successors, and assigns.
7.12The construction and interpretation of this Stipulation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and without

35


regard to the laws that might otherwise govern under principles of conflicts of law applicable hereto.
7.13Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating in any way to this Stipulation or the Settlement, or to enforce any terms of the Stipulation or the Settlement, shall (i) be brought, heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which shall retain jurisdiction over the Settling Parties and all such disputes (provided that, in the event that subject matter jurisdiction is unavailable in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any such dispute shall be brought, heard and determined exclusively in any other state or federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware) and (ii) not be litigated or otherwise pursued in any forum or other venue other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if subject matter jurisdiction is unavailable in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then in any forum or venue other than any other state or federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware).

NOTICE OF PENDENCY AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF
STOCKHOLDER DERIVATIVE ACTION

TO:
ALL RECORD AND BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK OF GLOBALSTAR, INC. AS OF THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON DECEMBER 14, 2018 (“CURRENT GLOBALSTAR STOCKHOLDERS”)





PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.
YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE ACTION.

This Notice relates to a proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) of the above-captioned stockholder derivative action (the “Action”) pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”). Subject to the approval of the Court, the proposed Settlement will resolve all claims brought in the action by plaintiffs Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. and Warlander Asset Management (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), on behalf of themselves and derivatively on behalf of Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar” or the “Company”), against defendants James Monroe III, James Lynch, Richard Roberts, William Hasler, John Kneuer, J. Patrick McIntyre, and Kenneth Young (collectively, the “Director Defendants”), defendants Kyle Pickens and Tim Taylor (collectively, the “Employee Defendants”), defendant Thermo Companies, Inc. (“Thermo”), and defendant and nominal defendant Globalstar (the Director Defendants, the Employee Defendants, Thermo, and Globalstar (in its capacity as a defendant) are collectively referred to herein as “Defendants”) (Plaintiffs, Defendants, and Globalstar (in its capacity as a nominal defendant) are collectively referred to herein as the “Settling Parties”). 1 
PLEASE NOTE: The terms of the proposed Settlement are described in paragraphs 16 to 18 below. Because this Action was brought as a derivative action on behalf of and for the benefit of Globalstar, the benefits from the Settlement will go to Globalstar. Individual Globalstar stockholders will not receive any direct payment from the Settlement. Also, please note that there is no proof of claim form for stockholders to submit in connection with this Settlement, and stockholders are not required to take any action in response to this Notice.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE?

1.The purpose of this Notice is to explain the Action, the terms of the proposed Settlement, and how the proposed Settlement affects Current Globalstar Stockholders’ legal rights.
_____________________
1 The terms and conditions of the proposed Settlement are set forth in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release dated December 14, 2018 (the “Stipulation”), which is publicly available for review as indicated in paragraph 34 below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Notice shall have the meaning provided in the Stipulation.

2


2.In a derivative action, one or more people and/or entities who are current stockholders of a corporation sue on behalf of and for the benefit of the corporation, seeking to enforce the corporation’s legal rights. In this case, Plaintiffs have filed suit on behalf of themselves and on behalf of and for the benefit of Globalstar against Defendants seeking to enforce the Company’s legal rights. A description of the claims asserted in the Action is set forth in paragraphs 4, and 8 to 10 below.

3.As described more fully in paragraphs 28 to 33 below, Current Globalstar Stockholders have the right to object to the proposed Settlement and the application by Plaintiff’ counsel for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. Current Globalstar Stockholders also have the right to appear and be heard at the Settlement Hearing that will be held by the Court to consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the proposed Settlement and Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s fee and expense application. See paragraphs 25 to below for more details about the Settlement Hearing, including the date and location of the hearing.

WHAT IS THIS CASE ABOUT? WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION AND THE SETTLEMENT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY COUNSEL FOR THE PARTIES. THE COURT HAS MADE NO FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MATTERS, AND THIS NOTICE IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OR STATEMENT BY THE COURT OF FINDINGS OF FACT.
4.On April 24, 2018, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Globalstar (the “Special Committee”) comprised of McIntyre, Hasler, Kneuer, and Young (the “Special Committee Directors”) unanimously approved the terms of a merger between Globalstar and Thermo Acquisitions, Inc., an affiliate of Thermo, in exchange for Globalstar common stock valued at approximately $1.645 billion (the “Merger”). Later the same day, the Board of Directors of Globalstar (the “Board”) unanimously approved the Merger.

5.On May 4, 2018, Mudrick Capital sent a demand pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 to inspect certain books and records of Globalstar. Globalstar rejected the demand, but offered to meet and confer with Mudrick Capital with respect to the requested documents.

6.On May 17, 2018, Mudrick Capital commenced an action in the Court captioned Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. v. Globalstar, Inc., C.A. No. 2018-0351-TMR, by filing a Verified Complaint for Inspection of Books and Records

3


(the “Section 220 Action”). During the course of the Section 220 Action, Globalstar and certain of the Director Defendants produced certain agreed-upon documents to Mudrick Capital.

7.On July 30, 2018, after trial, briefing, and oral argument, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion directing Globalstar and certain of the Director Defendants to provide additional books and records to Mudrick Capital. In accordance with that Opinion and the parties’ subsequent stipulation, Globalstar and certain of the Director Defendants made productions to Mudrick Capital on August 7, August 14, August 21, August 28, September 4, September 6, and September 20.

8.On August 1, 2018, Globalstar and Thermo announced that they had terminated the Merger by mutual written agreement;

9.On September 25, 2018, Plaintiffs commenced the Action by filing a Verified Complaint for Derivative and Direct Claims (the “Complaint”) challenging the approval of the Merger by the Special Committee and the Board and certain other related actions. As noted below, Defendants deny the allegations of the Complaint. The Complaint asserts, inter alia, that:

(i)    Monroe’s pre-announced sale of 38 million shares of Globalstar stock (approximately 3% of the total outstanding shares) on the market in December 2017, was allegedly designed to depress the value of Globalstar’s common stock in anticipation of the Merger and was at a time Monroe was allegedly in possession of material, adverse, non-public information about the Company, and therefore constituted insider trading in breach of his fiduciary duties;
(ii)    The merger significantly undervalued Globalstar, and the Director Defendants’ consideration and approval of the Merger constituted a breach of the Directors Defendants’ fiduciary duties;
(iii)    The grant of Restricted Stock Units to the Director Defendants in February 2018 constituted unjust enrichment to the Director Defendants;
(iv)    Monroe’s and Thermo’s involvement in the sales process and approval of the Merger constituted a breach of their fiduciary duties as controlling stockholders;
(v)    The Employee Defendants aided and abetted the Director Defendants’ alleged breach of their fiduciary duties;

4


(vi)    Monroe’s actions warrant a declaratory judgment that he breached his duty of loyalty to Globalstar; and
(vii)    Plaintiffs are entitled to their attorneys’ fees associated with their actions that allegedly caused Globalstar to terminate the Merger.
10.The Complaint seeks relief including (i) declarations that the Director Defendants and Thermo breached fiduciary duties owed to Globalstar and that the Employee Defendants aided and abetted such breach, (ii) compensatory and rescissory damages for losses allegedly incurred by Globalstar as a result of such alleged wrongdoing, (iii) compensatory damages for losses allegedly suffered by Plaintiffs as a result of such alleged wrongdoing, and (iv) an award of attorneys’ fees and costs to Plaintiffs.

11.On October 8, 2018, Plaintiffs served on certain Defendants their First Request for Production of Documents Directed to Defendants and Nominal Defendant.

12.On October 11, 2018, Plaintiffs served a subpoena duces tecum on Moelis & Company, which had served as the financial advisor to the Special Committee in connection with its review of the Merger in 2018; and, on October 12, 2018, Plaintiffs served a subpoena duces tecum on Allen & Company LLC and a subpoena duces tecum on Centerview Partners LLC, each of which had served as a financial advisor to the Special Committee in connection with its review of a prior proposed transaction between Globalstar and Thermo in 2017.

HOW WAS THE SETTLEMENT REACHED?

13.Beginning in early October 2018, representatives of the Plaintiffs and certain Defendants began discussing a potential resolution of claims that Plaintiffs had asserted, which resolution would include resignation of two of the Director Defendants, election to the Globalstar Board of two new independent directors nominated by Plaintiffs and elected by stockholders other than Thermo and its Affiliates (the “Thermo Parties”) and significant corporate governance changes.

14.On October 29, 2018, the principals of Plaintiffs, Thermo and Globalstar met in person to further discuss the proposed settlement. Thereafter, representatives of the Settling Parties continued to engage in arm’s-length negotiations concerning the terms of the potential settlement.

5



15.On December 14, 2018, after extensive arm’s-length negotiations among the Settling Parties, who were all represented by counsel with extensive experience and expertise in stockholder litigation, the Settling Parties reached an agreement on the terms of this Stipulation providing for the settlement of Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendants in the Action on the terms set forth therein, subject to due diligence. The Settlement set forth herein reflects the results of the Settling Parties’ negotiations.


WHAT ARE THE TERMS OF THE SETTLEMENT?

16.As consideration for the for the Settlement, the Settling Parties have agreed to undertake the following action as described in the Stipulation and set forth herein:
A.
Actions Implemented Upon Execution Of The Stipulation.
Financing: Globalstar will take the steps necessary to conduct an equity offering pursuant to which shares of Globalstar common equity are issued at a market price (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties), as measured by the volume-weighted average closing price of Globalstar stock during the two (2) business days of trading prior to the pricing of such offering issued to the public, in an amount recommended by Globalstar’s management of not more than $60 million (excluding the underwriter’s option), that is open to all qualified and readily identifiable Globalstar investors on a pro rata basis (the “Financing”). Each of Plaintiffs and Thermo will support the Financing by (i) each committing to purchase upon the signing of the Stipulation, their pro rata share of the Financing, on equal terms and based on their respective ownerships of Globalstar’s outstanding shares and (ii) providing a backstop of the Financing, upon the signing of the Stipulation, by which each of Plaintiffs and Thermo will purchase on equal terms their pro rata share, based on their respective equity ownerships of the shares owned by Plaintiffs and Thermo, of the shares offered to persons other than Plaintiffs and Thermo, but not purchased by such persons.
The Settling Parties agreed that the Financing would commence promptly upon execution of the Stipulation on December 14, 2018. The Financing is currently underway.

(iii) Upon the resignations of the Resigning Directors, the remaining members of the Board shall appoint Mr. Wolff and Mr. Cowan as the Initial Minority Directors and shall appoint Mr. Lovett and Mr. Taylor as Directors, each of whom shall serve for the remaining terms of their respective director classes, as follows:

In the event that Mr. Taylor departs from the Strategic Review Committee for any reasons whatsoever, the Board shall appoint Michael Lovett to serve on the Strategic Review Committee, unless Mr. Lovett is no longer a director of Globalstar, in which case the Board shall appoint an Independent Director to serve on the Strategic Review Committee.
The Strategic Review Committee shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of its authorized number of members (regardless of vacancies thereon) in order to take action at a meeting; provided that, (i) to the extent the Strategic Review Committee fails to obtain such vote on any particular matter of business before it, the Strategic Review Committee shall consult with the Board until such vote is obtained and (ii) in the event the Strategic Review Committee cannot obtain such vote for any single nominee for Minority Director, then the Strategic Review Committee shall nominate two (2) such nominees for each Minority Director seat subject to election, and the members of the Strategic Review Committee who are Minority Directors shall each have three votes with respect to one nominee for Minority Director and the members of the Strategic Review Committee who are not Minority Directors shall each have three votes with

WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR SETTLING THE ACTION?

20.Defendants are entering into the Settlement solely because it will eliminate the distraction, burden, expense, and uncertainty of further protracted litigation. Defendants deny, and continue to deny, the principal facts alleged in the Complaint, and specifically deny that any of them has committed or threatened to commit any violations of law, breaches of duty, or other wrongdoing toward Globalstar, Plaintiffs, or anyone else concerning any of the claims or requests for relief set forth in the Complaint. Defendants expressly deny that Plaintiffs have asserted any valid claims as to any of them, and expressly deny any and all allegations of fault, liability, wrongdoing, or damages.

21.The Board has determined that a settlement pursuant to the terms set forth in this Stipulation is fair and reasonable, and is advisable and in the best interests of, Globalstar and its stockholders.


16

Globalstar stockholders are not personally liable for any such fees or expenses.
24.The Settling Parties did not begin negotiating the amount of any application by Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel for an award of attorneys’ fees until after they had reached agreement on all material terms of the Stipulation. An award of Fees and Expenses is not a necessary term of the Settlement and is not a condition of the Settlement.
WHEN AND WHERE WILL THE SETTLEMENT HEARING BE HELD?

The Settlement Hearing will be held on ____________ __, 2019, at _:__ _.m., in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, Leonard L.

Conversion of such share of Nonvoting Common Stock shall be effected by surrender of such holder’s certificate, or evidence of ownership if such shares are uncertificated, representing such share of Nonvoting Common Stock accompanied by a written notice from such holder addressed to the Corporation requesting the conversion. Upon conversion, holders of converted shares of Nonvoting Common Stock will be issued certificates, or evidence of ownership if such shares are uncertificated, representing the full shares of Common Stock to which they are entitled. A Conversion Event with respect to a share of Nonvoting Common Stock is (i) conversion at the discretion of any holder; provided, however, that if the holder is Thermo Capital Partners, L.L.C. or any of its affiliates (as defined in Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) (each a “Thermo Stockholder” and collectively “Thermo”), Thermo may not convert any share of Nonvoting Common Stock if such conversion would cause Thermo to own directly or indirectly Voting Stock (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 2008 relating to the Corporation’s 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028) representing 70% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding Voting Stock of the Corporation, (ii) the transfer (or, in the case of a transfer pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the proposed transfer) of such share of Nonvoting Common Stock by the holder thereof to any transferee other than Thermo, (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation (except a subsidiary of the Corporation or of Thermo) or (iv) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets.

(B)No Reissue. Shares of Nonvoting Common Stock that are exchanged for shares of Common Stock as provided in this Article Fourth shall not be reissued.


2


(C)No Charge. The issuance of certificates or other means of evidencing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock shall be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issue tax in respect thereof, or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder or former holder of the shares of Nonvoting Common Stock so exchanged.

(D)Reservation. The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued shares or its treasury, shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of the shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (irrespective of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any contingency) upon a conversion of all outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock so issuable shall be, when so issued, duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable.

4.Stock Dividends and Splits; Adjustments etc. If the Corporation shall in any manner subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock, as the case may be, the outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, Common Stock or common stock underlying any convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may require, shall be proportionately subdivided or combined, as the case may be. If the Corporation issues any stock dividends on the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock shall receive an identical dividend in shares of Nonvoting Common Stock.

5.Voting Rights.

(A)In General. Subject to subparagraph (C) of this Article Fourth, Section A.5 and Article Eleventh, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have the right to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock shall not have any right to vote on any election or removal of directors of the Corporation, and the shares of Nonvoting Common Stock shall not be included in determining the number of shares voting or entitled to vote on any such matters. Subject to subparagraph (C) of this Article Fourth, Section A.5 and Article Eleventh, holders of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, together with holders of shares of Common Stock (considered for this purpose as one class), shall be entitled to one vote per share on any other matter requiring approval of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(B)Procedures at Meetings. Subject to subparagraph (C) of this Article Fourth, Section A.5 and Article Eleventh, at every meeting with respect to matters on which the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share. Subject to subparagraph (C) of this Article Fourth, Section A.5 and Article Eleventh, at every meeting with respect to matters on which the holders of outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock are entitled to vote as provided herein or required by law, the holders of outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share.

(C)Minority Directors; Other Thermo-Voting Issues: Until such time as Thermo shall no longer be the beneficial owner of 45% or more of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock (the “Relevant Time Period”), (i) two members of the Board (the “Minority Directors”) shall be elected by a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation other than the Thermo Stockholders and (ii) no Thermo Stockholder shall be entitled to vote on, or consent to, or have any voting power with respect to, the election (including to fill a vacancy) or removal without cause of the Minority Directors. In addition, and regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock owned, Thermo may not exercise in the election of directors voting rights of shares representing 70% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding voting stock having power to vote. The Minority Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Minority Directors. During the Relevant Time Period, vacancies in any directorship previously held by a Minority Director may be filled only by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Minority Directors. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, newly created directorships or any vacancy occurring in the Board for any reason may be filled only by the remaining directors (including any Minority Directors), even if less than a majority of the whole authorized number of directors by vote of a majority of those remaining in office, and each director so appointed shall hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the director whom he or she has replaced or until his or her successor is elected and qualified. During the Relevant Time Period, no person shall qualify or be eligible for election or reelection (including to fill a vacancy) as a Minority Director unless such person has been nominated in accordance with Article Twelfth of this Certificate of Incorporation or by a stockholder other than Thermo (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, Thermo may suggest individuals for nomination as Minority Directors to the Strategic Review Committee). For purpose of this Certificate of Incorporation: (a) “Action” means the action captioned Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. v. Monroe, C.A. No. 2018-0699 TMR, (b) “Judgment” means the Order and Judgment entered by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in connection with the settlement of the Action; (b) the Minority Directors shall include the Initial Minority Directors (as defined in the Judgment) and those persons who, during the Relevant Time Period, are serving or elected to serve in the director seats to which the Initial Minority Directors were appointed in accordance with the Judgment; and (c) for purposes of determining the capital stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by Thermo, the Corporation shall rely on filings of Schedule 13D or 13G under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or similar filings), or, if no such filings are current, the actual knowledge of the Board, as of any date. Notwithstanding this paragraph, references in this Certificate of Incorporation and in the Bylaws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”) to “outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote in the election of the directors” shall include shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Thermo.

(D)Director Qualification: As of the Effective Date (as defined in the Judgment), the size of the Board is seven (7). If, following the Effective Date, the size of the Board is expanded, the first two (2) additional member(s) of the Board shall be deemed, for purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the “Additional Member(s)”. During the Relevant Time Period, no person nominated by the Board shall qualify or be eligible for election or reelection as an Additional Member, and no person shall qualify for appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship as an Additional Member, unless such person shall first have been determined to be an approved seasoned expert in the telecom industry by (A) the Strategic Review Committee (as defined in Article Twelfth) and (B) Mr. James Monroe III (“Monroe”); provided, however, that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

FIFTH
The Corporation shall have perpetual existence.
SIXTH
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon the Board of Directors by law, the Board shall have power to adopt, amend and repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation from time to time. The Bylaws of the Corporation may also be amended or repealed or new bylaws of the Corporation may be adopted, by the vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote in the election of the directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Thermo owns beneficially a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote in the election of the directors, the Bylaws of the Corporation may also be amended or repealed by the vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote in the election of the directors.
SEVENTH
Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board or in the Bylaws. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide. If Thermo owns beneficially a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of the directors, directors may be removed with or without cause; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, through the end of the Relevant Time Period, no Thermo Stockholder shall be entitled to vote on, or consent to, or have any voting power with respect to, the removal without cause of the Minority Directors. If Thermo does not own beneficially a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of the directors, directors may be removed only for cause by the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote in the election of the directors.
If Thermo owns beneficially a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of the directors, any action that is required to be or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. If Thermo does not own beneficially a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of the directors, no action may be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation without a meeting and any action required to be taken by the stockholders may be taken only at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders called in accordance with law and the Bylaws of the Corporation.

EIGHTH
A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or the stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that exculpation from liability is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as in effect at the time such liability is determined. No amendment or repeal of this Article Eighth shall apply to or have any effect on the liability of any director with respect to acts or omission of such director prior to such amendment or repeal. To the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, the Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time being presented to its officers, directors or stockholders, other than (i) those officers, directors or stockholders who are employees of the Corporation and (ii) those opportunities demonstrated by the Corporation to have been presented to officers or directors of the Corporation in their capacity as such. No amendment or repeal of this Article Eighth shall apply to or have any effect on any opportunities which such officer, director or stockholder becomes aware prior to such amendment or repeal.
NINTH
The Corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, indemnify upon request and after receipt of an undertaking to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that the requesting person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation advance expenses to any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorney's fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, preparation to defend or defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or claim initiated by or on behalf of such person or any counterclaim against the Corporation initiated by or on behalf of such person. Such indemnification shall not be exclusive of other indemnification rights arising under any bylaw, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such person. Any person seeking indemnification under this Article Ninth shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required for such indemnification unless the contrary shall be established. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Ninth shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
To the fullest extent permitted by law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, stockholder,

6


member, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any other person, joint venture, corporation, trust, limited liability company, partnership or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him or her and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, stockholder, member, partner, employee or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, other financial arrangements made by the Corporation pursuant to this Article Ninth may include (i) the creation of a trust fund; (ii) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; and (iii) the establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this Article Ninth may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.
To the fullest extent permitted by law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, in the absence of intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law: (i) the decision of the Corporation as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Article Ninth, and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement, shall be conclusive; and (ii) the insurance or other financial arrangement shall not (1) be void or voidable or (2) subject any director or stockholder approving it to personal liability for his or her action, even if the director or stockholder is a beneficiary of the insurance or arrangement.
TENTH
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation, provided, however, the Corporation shall not amend this Certificate of Incorporation without the prior affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote in the election of the directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Thermo owns beneficially a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote in the election of the directors, this Certificate of Incorporation may also be amended, altered, changed or repealed by the vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote in the election of the directors.
ELEVENTH
During the Relevant Time Period, the Corporation shall not have power to effect a Related Party Transaction unless such Related Party Transaction shall be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares of common stock owned by stockholders other than Thermo and voting affirmatively or negatively on the matter. For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, a “Related Party Transaction” shall mean any transaction between the Corporation, on the one hand, and one or more of the Thermo Stockholders, on the other hand, that either (i) requires a stockholder vote pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (ii) has a value (as determined in good faith by the Strategic Review Committee) of $5,000,000 or more; provided, however, that none of the following shall be a Related Party Transaction: (i) a financing that includes participation by one or more of the Thermo Stockholders on terms equal (as determined in good faith by the Board) to

7


other parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the equity offering or similarly structured capital raising transaction contemplated by the Judgment) (a “Permitted Financing”), (ii) the conversion of subordinated debt held by Thermo into capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with the terms of such debt as existing as of the Effective Date (a “Debt Conversion”), (iii) the exercise of options by any Thermo Stockholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Monroe) in accordance with the terms of such options as existing as of the Effective Date (an “Option Conversion”), and (iv) a lease with respect to the Corporation’s headquarters (a “Lease” and with any Permitted Financing, any Debt Conversion, and any Option Conversion, the “Carve Out Transactions”). Any determination made by the Strategic Review Committee or the Board pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation shall be final, conclusive and binding.
TWELFTH
The Board shall (i) establish and maintain through the end of the Relevant Time Period a standing “Strategic Review Committee” and (ii) designate directors to the Strategic Review Committee. The Strategic Review Committee shall remain in existence through the end of the Relevant Time Period. Unless the Strategic Review Committee is prohibited under applicable law from having the power or authority to act on any of the following matters, the Strategic Review Committee shall, during the Relevant Time Period, have exclusive responsibility for oversight, review, and approval (to the extent permitted by law) or disapproval of the following: (i) any acquisition by Thermo of additional newly-issued securities of the Corporation (other than pursuant to a Permitted Financing, a Debt Conversion or an Option Conversion); (ii) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of assets of any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries which are material to the Corporation; (iv) any change in the Board, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors; other than (a) nominations for election or reelection to the Board (except nominations for election or reelection of Minority Directors in connection with the end of a term of a Minority Director, which shall be within the authority of the Strategic Review Committee) and (b) nominations and appointments of individuals to fill vacancies or newly created directorships (except nominations and appointments to fill vacancies of Minority Director seats, which shall be within the authority of the Strategic Review Committee); (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Corporation (other than pursuant to a Permitted Financing, a Debt Conversion or an Option Conversion); (vi) any other material changes in the Corporation’s lines of business or corporate structure (other than pursuant to a Permitted Financing, a Debt Conversion or an Option Conversion); and (vii) any transaction between the Corporation, on the one hand, and one or more of the Thermo Stockholders, on the other hand, that has a value (as determined in good faith by the Strategic Review Committee) in excess of $250,000, except for any Permitted Financing, any Debt Conversion, any Option Conversion, and the matters set forth on a Schedule delivered by counsel to defendants in the Action to counsel to plaintiffs in the Action pursuant to the Judgment and on file at the Corporation’s headquarters. During the Relevant Time Period, to the extent that any of the foregoing matters, or any matter set forth in the charter of the Strategic Review Committee, cannot be approved solely by the Strategic Review Committee and requires approval of the full Board under applicable law, the Corporation shall not have the power to take such action, and any such action shall be void ab initio, unless such action is approved by the Board only after the approval of such action has been recommended to the Board by the Strategic Review Committee. Pursuant to the first sentence of this Article Twelfth, the Board shall appoint four (4) directors to serve on the Strategic Review Committee, two of whom shall consist of the then-

8


serving Minority Directors, and the other two of whom shall be independent directors (as determined in good faith by the Board, but at a minimum, who would qualify (as determined in good faith by the Board) as “independent directors” under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange) (an “Independent Director”); provided that (y) Monroe shall not serve as a member of the Strategic Review Committee (but the Strategic Review Committee may consult with Monroe as it deems appropriate) and (z) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, solely for purposes of constituting the Strategic Review Committee, the requirement of an Independent Director shall be waived for one time (and one time only) to allow Mr. Tim Taylor to be appointed to and serve on the Strategic Review Committee. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, during a fourteen-day period commencing on the date six months after the adoption of the Board resolution establishing the Strategic Review Committee, and recurring at each six (6) month interval thereafter for as long as Mr. Taylor is serving on the Strategic Review Committee, the Minority Directors may, by notice signed by each Minority Director and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, remove Taylor as a member of the Strategic Review Committee with or without cause (at which time Taylor shall be disqualified from serving on the Strategic Review Committee and shall not be deemed an Independent Director for any purpose). In the event that Mr. Taylor departs from the Strategic Review Committee for any reason whatsoever, the Board shall appoint Mr. Michael Lovett to serve on the Strategic Review Committee in Mr. Taylor’s place, unless Mr. Lovett is no longer a director of Globalstar, in which case the Board shall appoint an Independent Director to serve on the Strategic Review Committee in Mr. Taylor’s place. The Strategic Review Committee shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of its authorized number of members (regardless of vacancies thereon) in order to take action at a meeting; provided that, (i) to the extent the Strategic Review Committee fails to obtain such vote on any particular matter of business before it, the Strategic Review Committee shall consult with the Board until such vote is obtained and (ii) in the event the Strategic Review Committee cannot obtain such vote for any single nominee for Minority Director, then the Strategic Review Committee shall nominate two (2) such nominees for each Minority Director seat subject to election, and the members of the Strategic Review Committee who are Minority Directors shall each have three votes with respect to one nominee for Minority Director and the members of the Strategic Review Committee who are not Minority Directors shall each have three votes with respect to the other nominee for Minority Director. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Strategic Review Committee may nominate and include on the annual or special meeting proxy card two candidates for a Minority Director seat.

THIRTEENTH
When the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation refer to a specific document or a decision by any body or person that determines the meaning or operation of a provision hereof, the Secretary of the Corporation shall maintain a copy of such document or decision at the Corporation’s headquarters and a copy thereof shall be provided free of charge to any stockholder who makes a request therefor.

For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Corporation, every reference to a majority or other proportion of stock with respect to establishing a quorum for meetings of stockholders or the requisite vote for stockholder approval (whether at a stockholder meeting or by written consent) shall be deemed to refer to such majority or other proportion, as applicable, of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of such stock.

EXHIBIT G

GLOBALSTAR, MUDRICK CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND WARLANDER ASSET MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCE SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION
Settlement to result in, among other items, appointment of two new Minority Directors plus an additional independent board member, establishment of a Strategic Review Committee, requirement of majority of independent stockholders vote on related party transactions and commitment to purchase a pro rata share and provide backstop support for an equity offering


Covington, LA (December 17, 2018) -- Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) (“the Company”), together with Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. (“Mudrick Capital”) and Warlander Asset Management, LP (“Warlander”) and all other litigation parties are pleased to announce that the parties have entered into a Settlement Agreement related to the litigation brought by Mudrick Capital and Warlander in Delaware Chancery Court involving Globalstar and certain of its directors, officers and employees.
As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed to the addition of three new seasoned telecom executives to the Company’s Board of Directors: Keith Cowan, Ben Wolff and Mike Lovett. These new directors will be immediately appointed to the Globalstar Board of Directors to fill three vacancies left by existing board members who support this settlement and volunteered to step down from their positions. Messrs. Cowan and Wolff will be designated the “Minority Directors” and at the end of Minority Directors’ terms such seats shall be filled by candidates elected by a plurality vote of minority stockholders. Both Minority Directors shall be appointed to a new, standing Strategic Review Committee, and one Minority Director will be appointed to each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee. Additionally, Timothy Taylor, Vice President of Thermo and Globalstar’s Vice President of Finance, Business Operations and Strategy will join the board to fill a vacancy left by a fourth board member retiring from his position on the board.
The Strategic Review Committee will be comprised of Minority Directors Ben Wolff, Keith Cowan, and two other directors, William Hasler and Timothy Taylor. The Strategic Review Committee’s first order of business shall be to assess financing options for Globalstar. Furthermore, the Strategic Review Committee will have exclusive authority for the review and oversight of certain events and its approval shall be necessary for events including but not limited to: (i) any acquisition by Thermo and/or any Jay Monroe affiliated party or person of additional newly-issued securities of Globalstar, subject to certain exceptions; (ii) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Globalstar or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Globalstar or any sale or transfer of assets of any of its subsidiaries which are material to Globalstar; (iv) any further change in the Board of Directors of Globalstar, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Board, provided that only elections of Minority Directors shall be within the authority of the Strategic Review Committee; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of Globalstar; (vi) any transaction between the Company and Thermo or one or more of its affiliates that has a value in excess of $250,000 (subject to certain exceptions) and (vii) any other material changes in Globalstar’s lines of business or corporate structure. The Globalstar Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to establish the Strategic Review Committee which shall remain in place until such time as Thermo and its affiliates no longer beneficially own 45% or more of Globalstar’s outstanding stock. Additionally, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will be amended to require a majority of independent stockholders to vote on any related party transaction between Globalstar and Jay Monroe, or Thermo and its and their respective affiliates, with a value of $5 million or more (subject to certain exceptions).
Within five business days of an event of (i) refinancing of 85% of Globalstar’s bank debt, (ii) refinancing of a minimum of $150 million of Globalstar’s bank debt with a minimum two year extension of maturity on the remaining balance, or (iii) an extension of maturity or amortization holiday on such debt of two years or more, Thermo has agreed to convert all of its outstanding subordinated debt into Globalstar common equity at the contractual conversion price under its subordinated loan agreement. If triggered, this conversion will have the additional benefit of immediately reducing the Company’s debt by at least $116 million.



The Settlement Agreement requires Globalstar to conduct an undiscounted equity offering (less any underwriting discount) of its common stock to qualified and readily identifiable Globalstar stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on ownership, in an amount recommended by Globalstar’s management of not more than $60 million, exclusive of any funds raised pursuant to an underwriter option. Thermo, Mudrick Capital and Warlander have agreed to purchase their pro rata share of any such offering and to backstop the balance offered to, but not purchased by, other Globalstar stockholders, on a pro rata basis based on their respective ownerships of Globalstar’s common stock. The settlement and any related fee award is subject to confirmatory diligence and confirmation and approval by the Delaware Chancery Court.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Jay Monroe, Executive Chairman of Globalstar, commented, “Globalstar and Thermo are pleased with this outcome and happy to put this litigation behind us. We would like to thank the outgoing directors for their many years of service to the Company and would like to welcome Ben, Keith and Mike to the Globalstar team. In the last week, we have spent a significant amount of time with all three of them and believe that they will be excellent board members, especially given their deep telecom and spectrum experience which is so important to our future plans.”
Mr. Monroe continued, “We are pleased to have reached agreement with Mudrick Capital and Warlander and appreciate their support moving forward. Litigation is costly and time consuming, and we prefer to focus our time and resources on moving towards value realization which this settlement frees us up to do. We continue to believe in Globalstar’s potential and welcome the new directors to help us realize it. Our management team looks forward to working with the Strategic Review Committee and the full Board of Directors on the continued thoughtful examination of our business.”
Jason Mudrick, the President and Chief Investment Officer of Mudrick Capital and Eric Cole, Chief Executive Officer of Warlander, together issued the following statement: “This settlement reflects a constructive dialogue with the Globalstar team and we look forward to continuing our collaborative relationship in order to further enhance shareholder value. We continue to strongly believe in the value of Globalstar’s assets and its ability to monetize those assets. The details of this settlement - including the minority shareholder provisions such as the new Minority Directors, a new independent director, and the Strategic Review Committee - provide us with additional confidence for the future of this Company. We are also excited to have Ben, Keith and Mike join the Globalstar board. Given their expertise in the telecom sector and with successful spectrum transactions, we believe they will add tremendous value immediately. We are confident that the Settlement heralds a new era of sustainable value creation for the benefit of all of Globalstar’s stockholders.”
Ben Wolff, Keith Cowan and Mike Lovett jointly issued the following statement: “We believe Globalstar has a unique collection of assets and are excited to join the Board of Directors. We look forward to working with the rest of the Board and the management team to enhance value for all stakeholders.”

GLOBALSTAR, MUDRICK CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND WARLANDER ASSET MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCE SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION
Settlement to result in, among other items, appointment of two new Minority Directors plus an additional independent board member, establishment of a Strategic Review Committee, requirement of majority of independent stockholders vote on related party transactions and commitment to purchase a pro rata share and provide backstop support for an equity offering


Covington, LA (December 17, 2018) -- Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) (“the Company”), together with Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. (“Mudrick Capital”) and Warlander Asset Management, LP (“Warlander”) and all other litigation parties are pleased to announce that the parties have entered into a Settlement Agreement related to the litigation brought by Mudrick Capital and Warlander in Delaware Chancery Court involving Globalstar and certain of its directors, officers and employees.
As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed to the addition of three new seasoned telecom executives to the Company’s Board of Directors: Keith Cowan, Ben Wolff and Mike Lovett. These new directors will be immediately appointed to the Globalstar Board of Directors to fill three vacancies left by existing board members who support this settlement and volunteered to step down from their positions. Messrs. Cowan and Wolff will be designated the “Minority Directors” and at the end of Minority Directors’ terms such seats shall be filled by candidates elected by a plurality vote of minority stockholders. Both Minority Directors shall be appointed to a new, standing Strategic Review Committee, and one Minority Director will be appointed to each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee. Additionally, Timothy Taylor, Vice President of Thermo and Globalstar’s Vice President of Finance, Business Operations and Strategy will join the board to fill a vacancy left by a fourth board member retiring from his position on the board.
The Strategic Review Committee will be comprised of Minority Directors Ben Wolff, Keith Cowan, and two other directors, William Hasler and Timothy Taylor. The Strategic Review Committee’s first order of business shall be to assess financing options for Globalstar. Furthermore, the Strategic Review Committee will have exclusive authority for the review and oversight of certain events and its approval shall be necessary for events including but not limited to: (i) any acquisition by Thermo and/or any Jay Monroe affiliated party or person of additional newly-issued securities of Globalstar, subject to certain exceptions; (ii) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Globalstar or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Globalstar or any sale or transfer of assets of any of its subsidiaries which are material to Globalstar; (iv) any further change in the Board of Directors of Globalstar, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Board, provided that only elections of Minority Directors shall be within the authority of the Strategic Review Committee; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of Globalstar; (vi) any transaction between the Company and Thermo or one or more of its affiliates that has a value in excess of $250,000 (subject to certain exceptions) and (vii) any other material changes in Globalstar’s lines of business or corporate structure. The Globalstar Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to establish the Strategic Review Committee which shall remain in place until such time as Thermo and its affiliates no longer beneficially own 45% or more of Globalstar’s outstanding stock. Additionally, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will be amended to require a majority of independent stockholders to vote on any related party transaction between Globalstar and Jay Monroe, or Thermo and its and their respective affiliates, with a value of $5 million or more (subject to certain exceptions).
Within five business days of an event of (i) refinancing of 85% of Globalstar’s bank debt, (ii) refinancing of a minimum of $150 million of Globalstar’s bank debt with a minimum two year extension of maturity on the remaining balance, or (iii) an extension of maturity or amortization holiday on such debt of two years or more, Thermo has agreed to convert all of its outstanding subordinated debt into Globalstar common equity at the contractual conversion price under its subordinated loan agreement. If triggered, this conversion will have the additional benefit of immediately reducing the Company’s debt by at least $116 million.



The Settlement Agreement requires Globalstar to conduct an undiscounted equity offering (less any underwriting discount) of its common stock to qualified and readily identifiable Globalstar stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on ownership, in an amount recommended by Globalstar’s management of not more than $60 million, exclusive of any funds raised pursuant to an underwriter option. Thermo, Mudrick Capital and Warlander have agreed to purchase their pro rata share of any such offering and to backstop the balance offered to, but not purchased by, other Globalstar stockholders, on a pro rata basis based on their respective ownerships of Globalstar’s common stock. The settlement and any related fee award is subject to confirmatory diligence and confirmation and approval by the Delaware Chancery Court.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Jay Monroe, Executive Chairman of Globalstar, commented, “Globalstar and Thermo are pleased with this outcome and happy to put this litigation behind us. We would like to thank the outgoing directors for their many years of service to the Company and would like to welcome Ben, Keith and Mike to the Globalstar team. In the last week, we have spent a significant amount of time with all three of them and believe that they will be excellent board members, especially given their deep telecom and spectrum experience which is so important to our future plans.”
Mr. Monroe continued, “We are pleased to have reached agreement with Mudrick Capital and Warlander and appreciate their support moving forward. Litigation is costly and time consuming, and we prefer to focus our time and resources on moving towards value realization which this settlement frees us up to do. We continue to believe in Globalstar’s potential and welcome the new directors to help us realize it. Our management team looks forward to working with the Strategic Review Committee and the full Board of Directors on the continued thoughtful examination of our business.”
Jason Mudrick, the President and Chief Investment Officer of Mudrick Capital and Eric Cole, Chief Executive Officer of Warlander, together issued the following statement: “This settlement reflects a constructive dialogue with the Globalstar team and we look forward to continuing our collaborative relationship in order to further enhance shareholder value. We continue to strongly believe in the value of Globalstar’s assets and its ability to monetize those assets. The details of this settlement - including the minority shareholder provisions such as the new Minority Directors, a new independent director, and the Strategic Review Committee - provide us with additional confidence for the future of this Company. We are also excited to have Ben, Keith and Mike join the Globalstar board. Given their expertise in the telecom sector and with successful spectrum transactions, we believe they will add tremendous value immediately. We are confident that the Settlement heralds a new era of sustainable value creation for the benefit of all of Globalstar’s stockholders.”
Ben Wolff, Keith Cowan and Mike Lovett jointly issued the following statement: “We believe Globalstar has a unique collection of assets and are excited to join the Board of Directors. We look forward to working with the rest of the Board and the management team to enhance value for all stakeholders.”
