Current report

In response to the uncertainty created by the FCC inquiries, we may take one or more significant actions in order to protect our interest in our Wireless Licenses and other assets, which actions could negatively impact your investment.

Current report

In order to protect our interest in our Wireless Licenses and other assets we may take one or more actions that may negatively impact the value of your investment in our securities, including, under certain circumstances, filing for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, if we determine that such an action is in the best interests of the Company and our stakeholders. Such a decision could be driven by a range of strategic considerations, including, but not limited to, the uncertainty created by the FCC inquiries and effective deployment of capital.

Current report

Certain actions that we may take, including a potential voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing could have material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to: (i) disruption of our relationships with vendors, suppliers, employees and customers; (ii) limitations on our ability to access capital markets or otherwise obtain financing on favorable terms or at all; (iii) limitations on our ability to take advantage of business opportunities; (iv) reputational harm; (v) potential delisting of our securities from trading exchanges; and (vi) significant administrative costs and diversion of management attention. Furthermore, the outcome of any of the actions that we may take, including a filing for relief under Chapter 11, is inherently uncertain and may result in a loss of control by our principal stockholder or a material reduction in the value or change in the relative priority of existing equity or debt securities.

Current report

There can be no assurance that any protective actions we may take, including a restructuring or reorganization process, whether pursued in or outside of bankruptcy, would be successful or would not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or the market value of our securities.

Current report

The FCC’s review of our compliance with network build-out requirements could lead to the loss or impairment of certain of our existing spectrum licenses.

Current report

As previously disclosed, on May 9, 2025, the FCC informed us that it had begun a review of our compliance with certain of our federal obligations to provide 5G service in the United States and raising certain questions regarding our September 2024 build-out extension and mobile-satellite service utilization in the 2 GHz band. While we are currently working to address the concerns raised by the FCC in a way that is acceptable to us, there can be no assurance that such a resolution will be reached.

Current report

The FCC review has introduced the possibility of reversing prior FCC grants of authority to us. This uncertainty over our spectrum rights has effectively frozen our ability to make decisions regarding our 5G network build-out, has materially adversely impacted our ability to implement and adjust our overall business plan and has required us to re-evaluate the deployment of our resources. In light of the continued uncertainty related to the FCC inquiries, we elected not to make interest payments on a certain portion of our long-term senior notes on their respective scheduled due dates. We subsequently made such payments, including interest on the defaulted interest, within the applicable 30-day grace periods to make such interest payments.

Current report

If we fail to reach an acceptable resolution with the FCC, one or more of our wireless spectrum licenses could be cancelled or modified and/or our build-out requirements could be accelerated, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. During the pendency of the FCC review, our ability to make decisions with respect to our 5G network build-out and implement our business plans will continue to be materially adversely impacted, the attention of our management will continue to be diverted to this matter, and we will continue to evaluate the deployment of our resources and consider all strategic options.

Current report

We currently do not have the necessary cash on hand, projected future cash flows or committed financing to fund our obligations over the next twelve months, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Current report

As of the date of this report, we currently do not have the necessary cash on hand, projected future cash flows or committed financing to fund our anticipated working capital needs, capital expenditures, interest payments and other contractual obligations over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and, as a result, a ‘going concern’ disclosure appears in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Current report

Among other things, our business and financial condition is negatively impacted by upcoming debt maturities and interest payments which may further constrain available liquidity. In addition, our cash flow from operations is negative and may continue and/or accelerate. If we are unable to improve our operating performance, raise additional capital, negotiate with debt holders or otherwise secure adequate sources of liquidity, we may be unable to achieve our business objectives and may be forced to delay, curtail or forego strategic initiatives.

Current report

The presence of a going concern uncertainty may also adversely impact the price of our securities, harm our current, future and potential relationships with suppliers, vendors, customers, employees and creditors, and may limit our ability to access additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that management’s plans to mitigate these risks will be successful on a timely basis or at all. If we are unable to secure adequate liquidity on an acceptable timeline or at all, we may not be able to continue as a going concern, which could result in a total loss of your investment. In addition, as our cash and cash equivalents balance declines, the risks described above may continue, increase or accelerate at any time and with or without notice. We cannot guarantee the timing or outcome of any resolution and any resolution we may negotiate may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and/or operations.
