Previous wording
Before the Mergers may be completed, the waiting period (or any extensions thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Mergers under the HSR Act must have expired or terminated (which waiting period expired on July 17, 2026) and the clearances and approvals applicable to the Mergers under the antitrust, foreign investment, and satellite and telecommunications laws of certain jurisdictions must have been received. In deciding whether to grant the required regulatory approval, consent or clearance, the relevant governmental authority may impose or seek to impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of the Company's business following the completion of the Mergers. Under the Merger Agreement, Amazon and Globalstar have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals, consents, and clearances, except that neither Amazon nor Globalstar is required to agree to any remedies or restrictions on the conduct of their businesses to obtain such clearances (provided that Globalstar will take such actions to the extent requested in writing by Amazon and conditioned on the closing). There can be no assurance that such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions, if any, will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Mergers.
