What did Iridium Communications Inc. announce?
Iridium filed supplemental proxy disclosures to moot three New York stockholder lawsuits seeking to enjoin its pending merger with Rocket Lab, with the special meeting set for September 24, 2026.
Key details
- Three suits filed in New York Supreme Court (Index Nos. 655039/2026, 655037/2026, 626928/2026) plus stockholder demand letters allege the proxy contains disclosure deficiencies and seek to enjoin the merger.
- Iridium denies the claims are meritorious but is voluntarily supplementing the proxy to avoid nuisance, cost and delay; the special meeting remains scheduled for September 24, 2026, with a record date of August 21, 2026.
- Supplemented Evercore analyses show implied equity value ranges of $28.69-$47.77 per share (precedent transactions) and $29.97-$45.54 per share (DCF), against implied merger consideration of $54.00 per share.
- Merger consideration and deal terms are unchanged; closing is still expected in mid-2027 subject to the stockholder vote and remaining conditions.
