What did Iridium Communications Inc. announce?
Iridium filed supplemental proxy disclosures for its pending Rocket Lab merger, implying $54.00 per share, after three stockholder suits alleged disclosure deficiencies ahead of the September 24 special meeting.
Key details
- Special meeting remains scheduled for September 24, 2026, with a record date of August 21, 2026; Iridium still expects the mergers to close in mid-2027.
- Three lawsuits are pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (two in New York County, one in Suffolk County) plus stockholder demand letters, all seeking additional disclosures and an order enjoining the merger; Iridium says the claims are without merit.
- New Evercore detail: a discounted cash flow analysis implies $29.97 to $45.54 per share and a selected precedent transactions analysis implies $28.69 to $47.77 per share, both below the $54.00 implied merger consideration.
- Supporting figures disclosed: Iridium estimated net debt of approximately $2,102 million and LTM Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $527 million as of June 30, 2026, and roughly 110.5 million fully diluted shares as of June 24, 2026.
